Chapter 50 Chapter 50 "Have you chosen?"...

"Have you chosen yet?" Bai Tianming looked at the shepherd and asked him, "Which piece of land do you plan to sacrifice to the Mother of the Black Goat?"

"This one." The shepherd smiled and pointed to the ground under his feet.

This piece of land is undoubtedly Bai Tianming's camp.

Bai Tianming narrowed his eyes, puzzled. A shepherd had traveled many places to get here. Hadn't he seen better? Anyone who had seen better wouldn't have chosen this place.

Although if the shepherd had chosen another place, that place would be unlucky, but if the shepherd chose this place, Bai Tianming and the people in his camp would suffer.

It is really an easy choice to choose between having others suffer misfortune and having yourself avoid it.

"Why did you choose this place?" Bai Tianming asked the shepherd tentatively.

The shepherd stared at Bai Tianming, his pupils were extremely dark, like the abyss, which was frightening. Most importantly, they were not human pupils, but the same vertical pupils as the sheep around him, which made the shepherd look even more weird.

After all, how could anyone have pupils shaped like a sheep's? It would be fine if it were just an ordinary person, but this person happened to be a shepherd.

One can't help but wonder if he's a sheep transformed into a human, or if the flock of sheep he's herding are all humans? The eerie feeling is even more intense.

Bai Tianming looked at the shepherd calmly.

Even without mentioning the years he spent in hell, he had spent quite a bit of time on land, so he could be said to be knowledgeable and experienced.

The person in front of him was just a shepherd with sheep's eyes. To ordinary people, it would be easy to scare them, but to him, it was nothing.

The shepherd was not surprised by his calmness. Instead, a hint of appreciation flashed across his face, and he smiled as if in a friendly manner, saying, "This is a nice place."

When he smiled, the weird feeling seemed to be diluted. However, if you look closely at his face, you will find that he doesn't look like a human when he smiles, which makes him even weirder.

Moreover, the strange shock felt after careful observation is a kind of belated feeling that makes people want to scream wildly. It is more surprising and terrifying than seeing his vertical pupils for the first time.

It's like walking in a deep corridor, thinking you are the only one there, but suddenly you find someone in front of you. As you approach with joy and caution, the person in front turns around, and their head falls off their neck.

It is difficult for anyone to remain calm in the face of such a strange feeling, because it is as difficult as remaining calm in the face of a tsunami.

However, Bai Tianming wasn't afraid; instead, he felt a little angry. The shepherd's answer was so perfunctory. If he had to choose, he had to pick a good place, not a bad one.

The answer of picking a good place is like saying nothing at all.

Before Bai Tianming got really angry, the shepherd said again: "You are special." This immediately interrupted Bai Tianming's words.

Bai Tianming's expression became complicated. If this piece of land was chosen because of his presence, then perhaps he should leave. But who could guarantee that this piece of land wouldn't be chosen again after he left?

The shepherd observed Bai Tianming's expression and laughed: "It's okay if I don't choose this place."

Bai Tianming frowned and stared at him, feeling that he was going to make a request by saying this, but no matter what the request was, Bai Tianming didn't want to agree to it because he didn't want to give anything.

I hope he comes up with something acceptable.

The shepherd put on an understanding smile and said slowly: "You can find me another place, or -"

Bai Tianming frowned, a hint of hostility on his face, and patiently asked, "What?" Or something like, "Say something! You're trying to keep me on edge, right? One day I'll hang you from a tree with a fishhook! Let's see how you can hook others!"

"Let me tell you first, if you want to find me another place, what are your requirements?" the shepherd said slowly, counting off the places. "It must have people, land, water, peace, bustle, safety, and it must be suitable for black goats."

Bai Tianming's anger suddenly subsided, and he calmed down as if he had suddenly jumped into ice water: "The Black Goat asked you to choose a place for..."

"Yes." The shepherd nodded without hesitation.

Bai Tianming was silent for a while. He couldn't think of a better place. After all, he chose this place as the camp because he thought it was suitable for living.

If there is another better place, it is either too far away or too unfamiliar. I don’t know what it looks like now, whether it is too late to go there, or whether there is anyone else there.

Seeing that Bai Tianming was silent, the shepherd reached out and picked up the cup in front of Bai Tianming, sniffed it, and drank it in one gulp. Bai Tianming looked at him.

He placed the cup in front of him in front of Bai Tianming with a smile and said to him, "I don't have any use for it, but you can use it. Just give me your cup. I'll give it back to you when I leave."

Bai Tianming wanted to be a little angry, but he felt that his anger was groundless and unnecessary. He took a deep breath, looked away, and his head began to hurt.

"Or," the shepherd said slowly, casually bringing up what he had just said. He used a ball of yarn to tease the kitten, attracting Bai Tianming's attention. He said with a half-smile, "If you beat me, I'll find another way."

Bai Tianming thought about it and felt something was wrong. He frowned and said, "This is originally your business. I don't agree with you using this land, so of course you have to find another way. Why do you have to wait until I beat you?"

The shepherd blinked gently, his strangely vertical pupils holding a gentle smile as he looked at him with interest. "Because if you can't beat me, I'll choose this place. I don't want to tire myself out for no reason."

That's true.

If Bai Tianming gave up resistance, or simply couldn't beat him, he could just choose to sacrifice here, saving the time and energy of finding other ways and places. For him, there was no need to hesitate at all about choosing this place directly.

"How do you want to fight?" Bai Tianming looked at him warily and said in advance: "You can't damage the people and land here, as well as the houses on the land and the things in the houses."

"Then you choose." The shepherd appeared to be very easygoing, but he was actually starting to get a little angry because he hated being asked. He stared at Bai Tianming intently, and with a forced smile, he said, "Choose a place where there are no people, no houses, and no belongings."

Bai Tianming didn't care whether he was angry or not, but since he had backed down, there was no need for him to be aggressive or push his luck further, so he immediately said, "Then let's go to the open space next door."

They went to the open space next to them. In fact, it was a very easy battle for Bai Tianming, because no matter where he went, Bai Tianming was always strong.

He is first a strong man, second a king in his kingdom, and then a disguised one. Although he is still a disguise on the surface, he is still the same inside.

His kingdom continued to provide him with strength, and he himself possessed infinite power. Nothing could defeat him, and nothing could match him.

Naturally, the shepherd failed. Defeating him was an easy task for Bai Tianming. He was very surprised to be defeated for the first time.

Because before he met Bai Tianming, he was also considered a strong man, traveling everywhere and almost omnipotent.

If he hadn't clearly remembered that there was at least one Black Goat Mother in the world who was stronger than him, he would have almost thought that he was invincible.

He didn't know whether the one he met before was too weak, or the one he met now was too strong. In short, after the first failure, he asked for a second fight.

After the battle, he still failed. He did not lose heart, but he sat quietly and thought for a while, trying to figure out how he had failed, but he couldn't figure it out.

Because Bai Tianming's victory was completely overwhelming.

So he asked Bai Tianming, "Can you be a little weaker, like me, and let's do it again? I want to know if I will lose when you are at the same level as me."

He will still lose, but he won't believe it before the fight. Even if he knows that there is a high probability of this, he can't let himself give up completely without even trying.

Bai Tian understood what he meant and agreed.

This time the battle lasted much longer than the previous one, but Bai Tianming still won. After the shepherd lost, he lay on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

All the wounds on his body had disappeared due to his extremely strong self-healing ability, but his clothes and hair were still messy and tattered, with some blood stains that seemed to be about to dry, and it was obvious that he had been injured.

He was originally very calm, but after lying there for a while, he suddenly felt that he could not accept it. He did not cry, but just got up slowly, as if what happened before had exhausted his energy.

He knelt on the ground with his head down, looking at the wet ground. No matter how hideous the stone was, after falling into the water and being washed for a long time, it would become extremely round, no longer having any edges and corners, smooth and moist, completely different from before.

He wanted to feel like he was an extremely hard, angular stone that had become rounded after being washed by water, and therefore lost the urge and mood to do anything.

But he also knew very well that he was not a stone. Stones stayed in the water, and unless something unexpected happened, they would stay in the water forever. He could climb out if he fell into the water. After all, he was different from stones.

He just suffered a small setback, and he shouldn't let it shake anything in himself. However, knowing is one thing, and not being able to do is another.

He felt a headache, his face was a little pale, and he had a high fever in a daze.
