Chapter 331 What? Fanatics Know More About Science Than Me

In that ancient and deep forest, darkness was like thick ink, flowing freely in every inch of space. The mist was like a ghostly veil, slowly moving between the trees, blurring the vision of many creatures and filling the forest with unknown horrors.
Today's Shan Nan can no longer be described as being equipped with ordinary exoskeleton equipment, but rather a more appropriate "exoskeleton armor". If Lin Yi had not seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that this set of equipment was assembled from the several backpacks he carried with him.
It seems that other components have been added, and now the mountain man looks like a fully equipped "complete body". There is some dust on his body, and in one hand he is holding the hardened remains of the sculpture, which can be confirmed that he tore it off from the human-shaped sculpture.
Lin Yi couldn't help but take a breath: "This guy Shan Nan... Could it be that he broke in little by little from the patrol circle of the human-shaped sculpture?"
It was obvious that those human-shaped sculptures were no match for him. Even the fanatics who rushed forward were suppressed by the mountain man in the "armor fusion" state.
This group of fanatics seemed to have the ability to move quickly in the shadows, similar to the green bib chef. Lin Yi Guang was unable to effectively capture their movements with his sight, but he could still capture them with his perception.
However, Shan Nan was still not at a disadvantage in a one-on-many situation, and even seemed to be getting braver as the battle went on, which stunned Lin Yi.
"This exoskeleton armor is so powerful?" Lin Yi was secretly surprised.
Seeing that they could not defeat the mountain man, the fanatics no longer held back and their bodies grew rapidly. Their muscles bulged and their skin took on a sickly bluish-gray color, covered with twisted blood vessels, like the veins of ancient tree roots.
Its eyes flashed with a strange and cold golden light, looming in the mist, revealing endless cruelty and madness.
A fanatical believer...is not just a fanatical believer, but a believer who can become fanatical!
Lin Yi thought so too. After all, fanatics are serious polluters. How can a polluter have a bad body?
It’s just that, compared to other aspects, they are stronger in other aspects, right… Wait, other aspects are stronger? !
"Isn't physical strength their advantage...?" Lin Yi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
In this state, the fanatic's power was greatly amplified. It stomped its feet on the ground, and the huge force made the ground tremble slightly. In this eerie and evil environment, it broke through the fog like a gray lightning and pounced towards the mountain man.
A low roar came from its throat, and the sound was like dull thunder rolling deep in the woods.
Shan Nan responded calmly. His exoskeleton armor reacted quickly. His leg armor sprayed out white flames. With the help of the powerful reaction force, he leaped high and easily avoided the fanatic's attack.
In the air, he also waited for an opportunity to chop down the remains of the sculpture in his hand, but this was like an itch to the fanatic.
The fanatic missed his target and crashed his huge body into a tree. The ancient trunk cracked and branches and leaves fell, swirling in the mist.
Other fanatics also rushed towards the mountain man, waving their strong arms, creating a whistling sound. If one only looked at the fact that they were suppressed by the mountain man, one could not tell how strong he was. However, if one expanded the view a little bit, one would find that the thick old trees around them also had shocking scars because of their scratches.
Kuai Hongji watched all this happening indifferently, and remained motionless, like a yellow bird.
The mountain man fell from the air, his feet firmly on the ground. He rushed towards the fanatic. At the moment when he was about to come into contact with the fanatic, he flexibly dodged to the side, pulled out a short stick made of unknown material and chopped the fanatic's arm fiercely.
The short stick fell and the fanatic's arm broke on the spot, but it was only broken.
At this time, the fanatic grabbed the mountain man's short stick with his other arm and pulled him over fiercely.
Shannan decisively gave up his short stick and quickly distanced himself from the beast. If he had been half a second slower, his chest would have been pierced by the sharp bones exposed from the fanatic's broken arm.
The fanatic's broken arm began to ooze out some sticky dark red liquid, emitting a pungent stench of decay, but soon the liquid solidified into a plaster-like substance.
The fanatic howled in pain, the sound echoing in the woods, seeming to even lift some of the surrounding fog.
This strange sound wave seemed to spread out with some kind of evil power. When it reached Lin Yi's ears, a sharp "buzzing" sound was heard, which made him frown.
Shannan was unable to dodge and was affected by the sound waves at close range. Light flowed on the entire exoskeleton armor and its flexibility decreased a lot.
The fanatics nearby seized the opportunity and sent some of them to release the devilish sound to interfere with Shannan, while the rest took ruthless actions. Shannan was forced to switch from offense to defense and gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"You really haven't made any progress at all!" The frenzied fanatics did not lose their minds because of the change in their appearance. "You were at this level more than 20 years ago, and you are still at this level now..."
"Your vision is too short-sighted! How much suffering will you have to endure before you realize that... those people in the physics community have been unable to break through the shackles throughout their lives, so they use the so-called "science" to anchor your world!"
"give up!"
"Before the end, only the extraordinary can last forever!"
Upon hearing this, Shan Nan gritted his teeth and said, "A bunch of degenerate creatures without any personality are qualified to instigate others?"
The fanatics' attacks were like a waterfall, but the voice in their mouths remained calm. Even in the calmness, there was still some power to bewitch people: "The ancient people were also educated step by step... Those gods with human heads and different bodies, who can say that they were not evolved from people who accepted the transcendence in advance and embarked on the path..."
"There are so many species of human-headed snake gods in the Huaxia Classic of Mountains and Seas, as well as the so-called Nagas in other regions. Isn't it worth pondering the mythology and authenticity of their existence?"
"If they can educate, why can't we?"
"The books and civilizations in the long river of history are just chapters left by a few victors. Who says that the path we are taking now may not necessarily be another path that existed in human history?"
The mountain man fought and retreated: "You have taken out the Classic of Mountains and Seas, why don't you practice immortal cultivation? If you are practicing immortal cultivation, is this the result of your choice?"
"You said you don't understand what I'm saying? Well then..." The fanatics' tone remained calm, but their attacks became more intense. "At the end of the Ordovician period, the first large-scale biological extinction event occurred on Earth, known as the Ordovician mass extinction, which directly led to the extinction of 60% of species. But afterwards, marine biodiversity began to grow explosively, forming a more complex ecosystem..."
"So, the Ordovician mass extinction had a profound impact on the biodiversity of the Earth, paved the way for subsequent biological evolution, and was one of the key events in the evolution of life on Earth."
"I don't need you to teach me a lesson!" Shan Nan dodged an attack from a fanatic and was defeated, his defense about to collapse.
"Now, the emergence of extraordinary power is a stronger guidance and revelation... With the change of eras, a large number of species may become extinct, but the dawn and day after the darkness may be the truly wonderful future!"
Not to mention Shan Nan, even Lin Yi was almost stunned by what he heard.
"What? Fanatics who advocate the supernatural actually understand science better than me?" It's comparable to the unknown old age of physicist Newton!
Hiss—what?! Newton is a fanatic?!
I am not afraid of believers being mindless and fanatical, but I am afraid of believers being calm and cultured.
For example, the mountain man now, his rational cognition and judgment were severely rubbed by the fanatics who pulled him from mythology to science. For a while, he could not say anything except swearing.
Seeing that the high-profile appearance of the mountain man was about to fail and was about to perform a scene similar to the famous scene of Captain Yantou, Kuai Hongji could not help but frown. A rare look of sadness appeared between his gloomy eyebrows:
"This guy...his momentum is losing quickly..."
He glanced again at the remaining fanatics on the desolate land.
The fanatical believers who came out now were all angry angels with large plaster bodies that turned into spherical shapes and left. Then those who had "no work to do" at hand, while those who had "work" at hand remained unmoved and continued to work step by step.
"That's not okay..."
"We need to work harder..."
Kuai Hongji silently fell from the twisted branch, and then moved in a way even more bizarre than that of a fanatic, constantly shuttling back and forth in the mist of overlapping light and shadows...
He seemed to have predicted the path of Shan Nan's retreat, and went to some places in advance and made some subtle adjustments to the surrounding environment.
So, in some of the vegetation areas that were not easily noticed by the headquarters, some old vines and trees were suddenly broken, revealing some things that had been abandoned long ago...
After completing all these operations, he returned to the edge of the barren land along the same route, watching the noise and movement fade away from afar, still patiently waiting for something.
On the other side, the mountain man who was retreating and moving through the woods like Tarzan, suddenly saw something with his sharp eyes, and his pupils contracted violently!
"That is……?!"
I saw an abandoned pole sticking out from the crooked old tree.
“Abandoned lamppost…?!”
"No...how come there is one here?!"
Shan Nan was shocked, but he didn't care about anything else. He landed from the treetop like a flying swallow and used the strength of his exoskeleton armor to break through the environment with a big blow. At first glance, he was suddenly alert.
I saw that the lamppost was already dilapidated and full of traces of erosion by time.
Deep in this dark forest, in this corner full of ancient trees, it seems like a lonely old man forgotten by time.
What really frightened and shocked Shan Nan was that there were some traces of red paint on the surface of this abandoned street lamp pole...
"This is... the legendary batch of red-painted numbered lamp posts?!"
There are still some red paint numbers left on the lampposts, but the red paint has faded and is no longer a bright red, but a dull, almost rusty red.
The numbered characters have become blurred, and some parts have even peeled off, leaving only some incomplete strokes, like ancient mysterious runes, making people unable to help but guess what they once meant.
The vague words vaguely resemble...
"...whistle... 6..."
"This is the lamppost of the 'Black Moon Outpost'... As time went by, it was exiled here in the layers?!" Shan Nan shuddered, as if... some martial arts master who knew the inside story had seen a dragon-slaying sword.
Although, this dragon-slaying sword is already badly broken.
At the top of the lamp pole, where the lampshade and the street light should have been installed, there is now only a broken joint left, and some of the surrounding decorations are also damaged and jagged, as if they had been torn roughly by something.
All around it, tree roots snaked out from the ground like giant pythons and tightly wrapped around the base of the lamppost.
Some tree roots even embedded themselves in the rust of the lampposts, as if they were slowly devouring them and making them part of the forest.
The surrounding grass also grew wildly, taller than the base of the lamppost. When the breeze blew, the grass swayed gently, forming a sharp contrast with the silence of the lamppost, further highlighting its dilapidated and lonely appearance.
This abandoned, dilapidated lamppost with a red paint number is like a forgotten secret in the woods, standing there quietly, silently swallowed up and assimilated by the surrounding environment.
With an excited heart and trembling hands, Shan Nan took a deep breath and tightly grasped the lamppost with both arms, light flowing on his exoskeleton armor.
"rise--"
The mountain man shouted loudly, as if possessed by Lu Zhishen, and pulled out the lamp post with one hand!
“Fuck… BANG!”
The soil was shattered, the whiskers were all broken, and the lamp post was like a sword drawn from a stone, tearing off a corner of the dead tree!
"What...?!" The fanatic was horrified, "Why is there a lamp pole buried here?!"
Not only him, but the other fanatics also showed disbelief.
“Or the red painted numbered lamp posts?!”
"Hahahaha——" Shan Nan laughed wildly. He had been beaten all the way and even his knowledge was crushed. At this moment, he was full of heroic spirit, as if he was holding a magic weapon in his hand.
He seized the opportunity, his back armor opened, spewing out white steam, pushing him forward to face the fanatics again!
Seeing the red-painted lamppost, even if it was just in a broken state, the fanatics all moved away from the mountain man, fearing that they would be beaten if they failed to avoid him.
