Zhang Mu actually had a higher opinion of Gu Lin. No wonder Ling chose him as the second leader. It seemed that it was not only because of his strong plant ability. If this person was not controlled, he would be extremely terrifying.

"So, can you give me a way out?"

What Zhang Mu didn't expect was that Gu Lin actually started begging for mercy right now, completely lacking the arrogance that he showed when Zhang Mu first met him.

But he had already made up his mind. Zhang Mu smiled faintly and gave his answer, "No."

Gulin seemed to have anticipated what Zhang Mu would say. He had only made one last attempt. He lowered his head dejectedly.

They had never been able to defeat Zhang Mu before, and were defeated by his strange yet domineering vines. Now, they didn't know what ability he had used to kill the leader who could control dozens of them. How could they, including Gulin himself, have the courage to resist?

In the face of absolute strength, the accumulation of numbers has no effect at all.

Seeing Gulin's statement, some of the cannibals woke up and realized this very clearly. Some smart ones knelt on the ground, muttering to themselves, saying things like "I have an 80-year-old mother and a three-year-old child."

"We didn't want to do it either. It was that psychopath who forced us to do it. We really didn't want to do it."

Zhang Mu couldn't help but admire the acting skills of some of them. The tears came so easily that they almost hugged Zhang Mu's trouser legs and cried bitterly. Their level was really comparable to that of second-tier actors.

"Yes, we were all forced to eat human flesh. If he hadn't forced us, if he hadn't planted in us the seeds of our hearts that we couldn't resist, how could we have continued to eat this kind of thing?"

"Give us a chance. We will never eat human flesh again after we get out. Without his mind seed control, I feel sick just by looking at human flesh."

"Yeah, I can't eat anymore."

Hearing these excuses, Zhang Mu just sneered. These words may be used to deceive people who don't know the truth, but he, Zhang Mu, has already

See through the nature of these people.

Even if they were forced to eat human flesh by Zero in the beginning, they were definitely addicted to it in the end and couldn't get rid of it. Besides, those who truly stuck to the bottom line had already become their food.

Then those who stick to the bottom line will die. Zhang Mu will not let go of any of these people who have betrayed humanity in order to survive, because even if they beg to the sky now, even if they make great promises now, once they become addicted, they will not be able to control themselves at all, just like taking drugs and cannot stop.

Even if they will restrain themselves for a while because of Zhang Mu's presence, as time goes by, they will not be able to resist the desires deep in their hearts. Then Zhang Mu will not be able to control them. Letting the tiger go back to the mountains will only hurt more of his fellow humans.

Zhang Mu's response was to silently take out the obsidian dagger from his waist and point it at a distance.

There were also many people on the opposite side who did not beg Zhang Mu just now, because these people already knew that Zhang Mu would not let them go, so they did not beg for mercy from Zhang Mu like those spineless people.

One of the big guys with a nose ring snorted coldly, raised his machete and placed it across his fat chest, turning back to warn everyone, "The worst that can happen is death. When I was eating human flesh, I thought about being eaten. Now I'm still such a wimp. It's really shameful. If you don't want to die like this, spread out from me. His cane is very strange. As long as you don't fall for it the first time, it will be easy to deal with later. He's not that scary."

But Gulin had no intention of resisting Zhang Mu. He was the only one who survived the sudden attack of the Blood Vine Lotus. All the others who were attacked died. So these people now had no idea how terrifying Zhang Mu's vines that could suddenly emerge from the ground were.

The others thought Gulin was frightened, so they ignored him and followed the orders from the nose ring guy to disperse and surround Zhang Mu from all directions.

Zhang Mu did not stop these people from beginning to end, because he had no intention of using the power of the Blood Vine Lotus. He just used these sparse people in front of him as a whetstone for the Black Obsidian Dagger.

See who can fight

Almost everyone was there. Zhang Mu kicked his right leg and ran straight towards the man with the nose ring. Although he didn't know how to use the Blood Vine Lotus, he wasn't stupid enough to deliberately remind the other party.

Sure enough, when he saw Zhang Mu rushing over, the man with the nose ring became nervous. He tightened his grip on the machete. He scanned the ground with his eyes and shouted, "Be careful of the ground and watch the direction that the vine is coming from."

Zhang Mu rushed to the group of people in the blink of an eye, but surprisingly, there was no sign of any vines coming out of the ground, and their minds were already in a mess.

Some people noticed that the dagger in Zhang Mu's hand seemed to be different from the claw thorn he used before, but they didn't take it too seriously, thinking that Zhang Mu just changed his weapon.

Seeing that Zhang Mu had already jumped high, the man with the nose ring knew that he had found him first, and he knew that he had to go forward bravely, but his eyes were still scanning around, ready to withdraw if he saw anything wrong, and not to get entangled with Zhang Mu.

"To be distracted during a battle is to seek death."

Zhang Mu's faint voice was heard in the air, but the next second, his obsidian dagger had already chopped heavily on the machete blade of the man with the nose ring. What made everyone dumbfounded was that this majestic-looking machete was actually cut directly like a piece of tofu under the swing of the small and exquisite dagger in Zhang Mu's hand.

However, the offensive did not weaken at all. The dagger went down and actually split the man in half from head to toe.

The man with the nose ring didn't react until the second before his death. It turned out that Zhang Mu really had no intention of using the rattan stick. Fortunately, he had focused most of his attention on the ground.

However, even if he was fully focused, he could not have imagined that his machete was as vulnerable as a piece of thin paper in front of the obsidian dagger that Zhang Mu had recast.

It would be fine if there was a chance to give it a try, but going for it now would be simply suicide.

After seeing the tragic death of the man with the nose ring, everyone no longer had the will to fight back and they all rushed towards the exit.

Zhang Mu gently stroked the dagger, looked at the fleeing figures, licked his dry lips and said slowly, "The real show is just beginning!"
