Chapter 685: Chapter 688 Mouse Roar_1

After a brief hesitation, Bai Tong said, "Yang Gang, do you know why there are religions in this world?"

"The fear of death." Yang Gang thought for a moment and responded lightly.

"Correct. As long as there is fear of death in humans, religions will naturally arise." Bai Tong paused, then continued, "The original inhabitants who were abandoned by the government had to face nuclear pollution and monster attacks. Death shadowed them closely, and in these circumstances, a primitive religion was born in the Land of Fallen."

Ye Qing was taken aback: "Could it be the legendary Dark Moon Sect?"

"Yes." Bai Tong glanced at Ye Liana, who was shivering on her knees, then continued, "The Dark Moon Sect prefers to operate in the night. They worship the supreme monster, Hajis, and detest humans."

"Hajis?"

"Hajis is the supreme monster worshipped by the Dark Moon Sect, but they have never described what kind of creature it is. Personally, I believe that this Hajis is a creature fabricated by the Dark Moon Sect, much like the God of Christianity. According to the Bible, Jesus is the son of God; Jesus himself existed, but who knows what God truly is?"

Bai Tong paused, then continued, "The witches of the Dark Moon Sect claim to be the apostles of Hajis, vowing to trample the Earth under the will of the great Beast King Hajis and to annihilate humankind."

Ye Qing looked troubled: "Why have things become like this? Aren’t the original inhabitants humans too?"

Bai Tong sighed, "But they were abandoned. The government treated them like caged wildlife, trapping them in the Land of Fallen. The seed of hatred was planted the moment they were abandoned. Moreover, over the years, some superpower users who entered the Land of Fallen wantonly massacred the original inhabitants, indirectly pushing them to follow the Dark Moon Sect. By now, their hatred for humans has seeped deep into their bones. They may have had no choice but to become mercenaries for humans, but their hatred for humanity hasn’t diminished at all. Plus..."

Bai Tong paused and looked at Ye Liana once more before continuing, "Moreover, the Dark Moon Sect specifically decrees that followers can form alliances of mutual benefits with humans, but anyone who befriends humans will be treated as monster bait according to their doctrines."

Hiss~

Yang Gang drew a sharp breath again, "Are they planning to feed Ye Liana to these monsters?"

"I’m afraid so." Bai Tong paused, then asked, "Do you know why followers of the Dark Moon Sect have become a Cannibal Tribe?"

Yang Gang shook his head.

"Because according to the witches of the Dark Moon Sect, drinking the blood of humans and eating human flesh can promote the metabolism of cells in the original inhabitants, eliminate polluted cells, and regenerate a healthy body."

"Preposterous! How could that be possible!" Ye Qing couldn’t help exclaiming.

Bai Tong let out a sigh, "But brainwashed followers of the Dark Moon Sect believe it without a doubt."

Yang Gang’s eyes were sharp.

So, that was it. The one responsible for turning the original inhabitants into cannibals was this witch in front of him!

Yang Gang looked grimly determined, stepped forward to protect Ye Liana, and stared coldly at the witch in the night, "Your actions are too extreme. Not all humans are that cruel. Nana is a kind girl, I will not feed her to monsters as you wish! And we will not be eaten by you!"

The witch remained silent.

On the contrary, Bai Tong gave a bitter smile, "Yang Gang, while your words sound valiant, you should also consider the current situation. From what I know about monsters, the ones here are not high-level, they are equivalent to LV-4 human superpower users. If there were only a few or a dozen of these low-level monsters, we might have a chance to escape. But the reality is, there are hundreds of monsters here! It seems that we are inevitably going to become either monster food or cannibal feasts for the Dark Moon Sect. Heh, neither outcome is favorable."

Yang Gang, watching the monsters cautiously, responded coolly, "Bai Tong, you might have given up on any hope of survival, but I haven’t. I can’t die yet. If I die now, it would mean that someone else will die before me. I’m not afraid of death, but for her sake, I have to stay alive."

Bai Tong’s eyes flickered. After a moment of thought, she smiled and said, "Hmm, then let’s fight it out."

Immediately, the three of them began to gather their energy in secret, preparing to break free.

Seated on a Nine-Headed Giant Python, the witch seemed to have noticed the actions of Yang Gang and his companions. With a whistle, the monsters that had been surrounding them but not attacking suddenly went berserk. One by one, creatures with gaping mouths lunged at Yang Gang and the others.

Bai Tong looks around, a wry smile on her face: "From what I see, there seems to be no hope for survival..."

At this moment, the little hamster that had been fast asleep in Yang Gang’s pocket seemed to have been woken up. It climbed out of Yang Gang’s pocket, startled by the sight before it.

However, it was quick to react. It jumped onto Yang Gang’s head, opened its mouth wide, and let out a sharp squeal at the swarm of monsters.

Squeak, squeak!!

The monsters that had already lunged towards Yang Gang suddenly seemed startled as they turned tail and scattered in all directions.

Perched atop the Nine-Headed Giant Python, the witch was taken aback by the current situation. Despite her commands for the monsters to attack Yang Gang and the others, they disregarded her orders, scattering in all directions, and disappeared without a trace.

Only the enormous Nine-Headed Giant Python, approximately a hundred meters long, remained unaffected by the hamster’s shrieks. However, it too hesitated slightly, wary of advancing.

The scene was eerily bizarre. The witch had never encountered such a situation before. She hesitated before launching another attack towards Yang Gang, gave a sharp whistle, and disappeared into the night, carried by the Nine-Headed Giant Python.

"Phew~" Yang Gang dropped to his haunches, feeling a relief that came with the aftermath of the escape.

He didn’t pursue the witch. Even though he once considered turning invisible to follow and eventually kill her, he had a hunch that the python had a keen sense of awareness. Perhaps he would be discovered by the python before he could get close to the witch, and this might increase his chances of ending up in the Python’s belly.

"But what actually happened? Why did the monsters, already on top of us, suddenly disband and flee?"

At the time, the three of them were too engrossed in their fight to notice the hamster’s actions. Moreover, the hamster’s squeaks were drowned out by the roars of the monsters.

"Looks like we have been saved." Bai Tong let out a long sigh of relief: "That was close. I almost lost my precious daughter."

She paused, stood up, glanced around, and asked: "What on earth happened? The monsters seemed to be terrified by something."

Ye Qing looked just as clueless: "I have no idea."

"It must have been our lucky day." Bai Tong chuckled and as she turned her head, she spotted the hamster huddled on Yang Gang’s head. "That hamster..."

"Oh, he’s called Obama, my pet." Yang Gang reached up to take the hamster off his head and put it back in his pocket, muttering to himself: "When did the little guy pop out? Scared by the monsters, maybe?"

"Obama..." Bai Tong balked, then laughed: "Nice name."

Yang Gang didn’t say anything. He walked up to Ye Liana, helped her up, and said, "Nana, it’s okay. I will protect you."

Ye Liana, who had been trembling nonstop finally calmed down. She quickly assured him, "Brother Gang, I... I have never eaten human flesh."

Yang Gang smiled: "Yeah, I believe you. By the way, Nana, how does your body feel now?"

"Oh, it’s strange. My breathing seems to have become much smoother, and the itchiness on my skin has also alleviated a lot."

"See? Even if you don’t believe in Hajis or disobey the witch, as long as you’re a good kid, God will still bestow his protection upon you," Yang Gang said with a nonchalant smile.

"Yes!" The little girl nodded vigorously.

Of course, the little girl’s improved condition had nothing to do with God. It was because Yang Gang had quietly cast a Healing spell on her when he held her hand on the way to her house.

"Well, after the witch retreated, this area should be safe. Let’s camp here tonight," Bai Tong announced. She tossed two portable tents from her car and added, "I brought two tents. Yang Gang and I will share one, and Ye Qing and Nana will share the other."
