Chapter 570: Chapter 283: Water? I have plenty of water here! _2
It was indeed a stroke of luck to encounter such a handsome young man in this desolate place!
The girl failed to notice the rain clouds gathering above the colossal rock.
A drizzle from the rainclouds began to fall, followed by a series of wails from behind the stone.
The girl watched, dumbfounded, as dozens of burly men armed with knives jumped out from behind the rock.
Only the leading few men were unarmed.
These men, soaked in rain, developed lumps all over their skin.
This was a sign of black nightmare snake venom entering the lymph cells of a life form.
A playful chuckle echoed behind the girl.
“I thought of giving your father some water earlier, but little did I know, your father has it in plenty!”
“It seems that your father’s legs are in good shape!”
Even a fool like her could tell at this moment that her scheme had been seen through by the young man in front of her.
The girl rushed forward, placing herself in front of the burly men.
She then turned her head fiercely towards Fang Mu and his team, her demeanor no longer that of a coquettish beauty in distress.
Fang Mu’s actions were completely unexpected by Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun.
They thought that Fang Mu would learn a lesson, but little did they know how adept he was at deciphering human nature.
Running into Fang Mu was indeed a stroke of bad luck for this looting group.
The weapon-wielding brawny men were mostly ordinary people. In most cases, a Beast Master would not engage in combat personally.
It seemed that there were only three Beast Masters in this looting group, and they had summoned their Guardian Beasts.
This looting group was clearly not an official one organized by the Panfeng Federation.
Official looting groups have access to information on the core matters of the Panfeng Federation and know that most people traveling to the Federation have powerful backgrounds.
These official groups mainly target individuals fleeing the Panfeng Federation, preventing the outflow of Federation’s assets.
Those moving towards the Federation are targeted exclusively by small and medium-sized looting groups with limited information resources.
Fang Mu looked at the five Guardian Beasts summoned by the three Beast Masters before him. These Beasts, drenched in violence, had clearly tasted blood before.
However, even the strongest of them was only at the third level of the Gold Tier.
The gold-tier Guardian Beasts that Fang Mu had encountered were often enhanced to Perfect Quality, garnering exclusive traits.
However, this Gold-tier level 3 Flame Wolf held only an Elite rank, without any exclusive traits at all.
Such a beast was no match for Rainy Doll.
Rainy Doll did not need Fang Mu’s orders, rain clouds already gathering once more over the people’s heads.
Fang Mu ordered Rainy Doll to use its exclusive skill [Poison Mark Fragment].
In the ensuing series of explosions, every member of the looting group, including the young woman, was completely corroded by the rain, with not a trace left.
A large clump of fungus flourished in the soil, absorbing the nutrients.
Shu Liangjun recalled how he often went easy on beautiful young girls when he was young.
But Fang Mu showed not the slightest hesitation when he acted.
Shu Liangjun distinctly remembered Fang Mu stating that he had never ventured out for practice before.
At this moment, he didn’t know whether to praise Fang Mu for his adaptability or commend Qixing for the excellent upbringing!
Coming up from behind the rock, Fang Mu discovered a small hill of corpses piled up. Evidently, the looting group had been lying in wait here for quite some time.
All these events were like a minor interlude.
Fang Mu released the colossal Abdominal Territory Worm as the Spatial Haze quickly enveloped it.
Both Shu Liangjun and Shui Miao had seen this worm before.
Seeing it again, they couldn’t help but admire the creature’s excellence.
A Guardian Beast like the Abdominal Territory Worm was rare, but Shu Liangjun and Shui Miao could find one without much difficulty.
But nurturing such a caterpillar to its current state was much harder than scaling the heavens!
At this moment, both were struggling to estimate the purity of the space potion Qixing had used to perfect the caterpillar’s skills and exclusive traits to such extent.
“Ah Shui, Elder Shu, I want to make some more markings in the Panfeng Federation through the Abdominal Territory Worm.”
“Why don’t we ride the Abdominal Territory Worm all the way to the capital, Rock Peak City, of the Panfeng Federation?”
“Besides, Xiao Yin has made the necessary arrangements inside the Mechanism Fortress.”
Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun nodded in agreement on hearing this.
Fang Mu’s understanding of human nature to this degree made a practice experience in the outskirts of the Panfeng Federation somewhat wasteful.
As for combat capability, it could be further honed when faced with the tide of the undead.
Both of them followed Fang Mu onto the back of the Abdominal Territory Worm, entering the Mechanism Fortress.
Once inside the Mechanism Fortress, Shui Miao finally understood why Fang Mu traded so many pieces of the spiritual instrument with him.
Having such pleasant living conditions in the wilderness was indeed a luxury!
The Abdominal Territory Worm continuously relocated throughout the wilderness by using the skill [Wormhole Travel], occasionally secreting mucus to mark locations using the skill [Wormhole Mark].
Three to five days passed quickly, and Fang Mu occasionally spotted traces of undead creatures.
