Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 233 Gnawing
The best way to survive is to show your value.
Chu Bai was well aware of this. After all, he didn't want to listen to the useless people's nonsense and pleas for mercy.
" Do you think I'm short of people?"
Xu Shen looked down at Chu Bai and said, "Can't the two people around you replace you?"
Chu Bai saw the murderous intent in Xu Shen's cold eyes, and said with an ugly face: "Xu Shen, we have no hatred or grudges in the past. If I remember correctly, it was me who led the team to rescue you from the Ruins Beast. Even if you don't care about this friendship, at least you don't have to kill us, right?"
Xu Shen looked at him quietly, and after a while he said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance."
Chu Bai's eyes lit up.
"Kill him." Xu Shen looked at Zhao Qingmian who was pressed to the ground behind him.
Chu Bai's face froze, his skin twitched slightly, and finally he turned his head slowly with a trembling body.
On the ground, Zhao Qingmian also opened his eyes wide, his head was pressed tightly to the ground, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I, I am also willing to be loyal, don't kill me!"
"It's a pity that you followed the wrong person." Xu Shen said indifferently.
Zhao Qingmian felt bitter in his heart. When Xu Shen became the team leader, he offered to resign. If he had continued to stay in Team 1, would the situation have been different?
"Xiao Zhao has followed me for many years and is my right-hand man. If I am loyal to you, I will need people to assist me. Can I change someone?" Chu Bai gritted his teeth and turned to Xu Shen.
Xu Shen glanced at him and said, "Do you mean to continue forming cliques under my nose?"
Chu Bai felt a chill in his heart, and immediately realized that there was no way back.
He gritted his teeth and his body trembled slightly.
Xu Shen signaled with his eyes, and Shi Lei let go of Chu Bai's body.
Chu Bai lowered his head, slowly got up, finally turned around and walked towards Zhao Qingmian.
"Brother Chu, don't..." Zhao Qingmian widened his eyes, filled with fear and unwillingness.
Chu Bai walked closer step by step and squatted down in front of Zhao Qingmian.
His two hands were broken by the stone mines, and they were still shaking like rotten flesh stuck to the skin, unable to move.
The people around him stepped aside, and Zhao Qingmian struggled to get up from the ground. Looking at Chu Bai's eyes, he immediately understood and couldn't help but smile miserably.
"I'm sorry, brother." Chu Bai said in a hoarse and low voice.
Zhao Qingmian's eyes swept over Chu Bai's shoulder and looked at Xu Shen, Shi Lei and others behind him. At this time and place, they could no longer escape.
"Come on, let me use my life to help you one last time!" he said sadly.
"good……"
Chu Bai only said one word, and before Zhao Qingmian could speak again, he suddenly moved his head down and bit Zhao Qingmian's throat artery hard with his mouth.
Zhao Qingmian opened his eyes wide, filled with pain, and wanted to struggle, but in the end the pain in his eyes turned into bitterness, and he slowly felt relieved.
Blood flowed down his neck, but he didn't say a word. The only sound echoing in the church was the sound of Chu Bai biting and gnawing.
Soon, Zhao Qingmian's life force dissipated and his throat was bitten off.
Chu Bai opened his mouth and Zhao Qingmian's body fell down. He lay on the ground twitching slightly, blood gushing out of his throat and some coming out of his mouth.
Chu Bai used his knees to support himself on the ground and slowly stood up, his cheeks covered in blood.
He turned around and looked at Xu Shen, and said, "Is it okay now?"
Du Ming and Shi Lei frowned slightly and looked at Xu Shen.
Xu Shen's eyes were calm, as if he had expected this scene. He said, "Come here, let me crown you."
Chu Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, dragged his wounded body over and came in front of Xu Shen.
He hesitated for a moment, but still stopped in front of Xu Shen and was about to kneel down to salute.
But Xu Shen's palms lifted his body.
Chu Bai was slightly startled, with joy in his eyes, but he saw Xu Shen slowly approaching, his lips moving slightly.
The joy in Chu Bai's eyes suddenly froze, his pupils shrank sharply, revealing a look of horror.
With a puff, Chu Bai's body was pushed away by Xu Shen and fell to the ground with his abdomen torn.
Xu Shen was holding a piece of internal organs in his hand, which seemed to be the liver.
"Let's deal with it." An indifferent voice came from Xu Shen's mouth.
Chu Bai fell to the ground, his face still filled with disbelief and shock.
In the eyes of others, it seemed that they were shocked that Xu Shen would suddenly kill him.
But only Chu Bai knew that the shock in his heart was all because of Xu Shen's words:
"I saw you kill my 'mother', and you almost killed me..."
see……
Chu Bai felt a strong shock in his mind. Is the young man in front of him a human or a beast?
He was clearly just a fog dweller at the time, but he actually said...he saw it?!
A burly figure blocked his gaze on Xu Shen, and walked towards him like a giant. It was Shi Lei.
Then, the huge foot blocked his entire vision.
Bang!
Chu Bai's head was crushed.
Shi Lei lifted his foot, checked it, then waved his hand and had someone drag it out and deal with it.
When he turned around, Shi Lei saw some blood on the corner of Xu Shen's mouth, and the piece of internal organs in his hand had disappeared.
Shi Lei felt a chill in his heart and lowered his head and said, "Pope, the Ruins Secret Bureau is basically under our control now, and we can arrange for Wei Yan to take the position at any time."
"No rush. We still have to wait for the approval from the Snow Palace. It just so happens that I will be on duty at the Snow Palace tomorrow, so I can know the news first." Xu Shen said.
After all, the Xumi Bureau is a department under the Queen Ant. To replace the director, even if they find the letter of resignation and recommendation left by Director Liu, they still need to pass the Queen Ant's approval before they can "officially" take office.
"What if the queen ant doesn't approve?" Shi Lei asked.
"Then change someone else until she approves."
…
…
Leave the church.
Xu Shen asked Du Ming to arrange two Xu beasts to take him to the place he specified. He did not let the two follow him and went straight back to Yanluo Street District.
When he returned home, Xu Shen saw Heixue climbing to the ceiling due to hunger.
"Why do you always like to play on the wall?" Xu Shen closed the door casually .
Kuroyuki immediately jumped down from the ceiling, her figure extremely light: "To me, it's all flat ground. Walls are just your name."
That's true... Xu Shen was speechless. He didn't dwell on it and said, "The food will be delivered soon. You must be starving."
"Yeah." Kuroxue nodded repeatedly, with anticipation in her eyes.
Xu Shen touched her head, and when he saw Maeve at the table next to him glaring slightly, he immediately retracted his hand.
Kuroyuki's behavior now is much better than in the past few days. Even if he waits for a whole day because of hunger, he won't lose his temper.
This is a good change.
Not long after, the beast arranged by Du Ming arrived.
There is also a beast breeding factory in the Black Light Sect, which is about the same size as the Light Chasing Society.
After Xu Shen went downstairs and brought up the "meal", while Hei Xue was enjoying it , he tried to practice on the side.
Mo Wei appeared next to Xu Shen and absorbed the two golden fruits. There seemed to be wisps of silver transparent light flowing in Mo Wei's figure, making it more textured and emitting a richer aura.
Xu Shen called out the fog anchor, which contained a golden apple.
This was sent by the anti-internal army. He had not found a reference before, so he did not dare to eat it rashly.
But now when we take it out for inspection and comparison, we know that it is the genuine product and nothing has been mixed with it.
Xu Shen gave it to Mo Wei without worry.
Soon , the golden apple was also absorbed by Mo Wei. Golden light surged in his body and then gradually disappeared.
Xu Shen immediately closed his eyes and practiced the secret technique of the Mist Walker.
Mo Wei's figure climbed over the window and walked in the void outside. There was fog all around him. However, the fog that had made Xu Shen feel cold before now made him feel nothing when he touched his body, as if he was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket.
Mo Wei's figure wandered in the fog without any hindrance. Xu Shen felt that even if Mo Wei walked in the fog for a long time, he would not be eroded.
This is obviously a very qualified "adventurer".
"child."
Suddenly, a soft call came from the fog.
