Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

The residential area for ordinary believers, Street 1.

Xiaoxue led Chen Shu and Shenli towards the very end of Street One.

People around them glanced at the three of them, sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally, and whispered among themselves.

"Hey, how come Qin Feng's sister has gotten involved with that new, mysterious guy?"

"Hey, haven't you heard? The War Axe guys went to find them yesterday. I guess that kid got scared."

"Scared? I don't think so. Yesterday, that kid even messed around with the War Axe guys, but for some reason, they didn't kill him."

"Qin Xue is hanging out with that dog, the one from the Battle Axe..."

"Idiot, stop talking nonsense, they're looking over here."

"Boss, I'm going to teach them a lesson. Some ignorant fools dare to speak ill of you." Shenli rubbed his wrist and prepared to walk towards the group of people who had spoken.

Chen Shu shook his head and dissuaded him, "No, no, no, if you make a move, you'll scare these guys to death. Just show them your strength and intimidate them a little."

Shenli glared at the group of people, nodded, looked around, walked to a small shed by the roadside, and pulled out the iron poles used for support...

Whoosh—Boom—!

The iron rod flew out at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye! The three people who were just talking were instantly enveloped in dust.

"Let me tell you! Show some respect when you see me, Boss Da Zui, or I'll get angry!" Shenli's gaze swept over the people around him, and those he saw all lowered their heads.

For ordinary people without access to forbidden zones, even those who have received special forces-level training are destined to be nothing more than ants in the face of the "Pool" realm.

Xiaoxue slowed her pace slightly, and her apologetic voice reached Chen Shu's ears.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I'll come out by myself next time."

Chen Shu shook his head, saying nonchalantly, "It's alright, I'm a very forgiving person. Saying it once is nothing, just pretend you didn't hear it."

After walking to the end of the street, Xiaoxue pointed to an alley on the right. "Boss, do you want to go in? My brother and I used to live in there."

Chen Shu glanced at his surroundings, his mood becoming somewhat heavy.

At the very front of the street, although it looked cluttered and dilapidated, at least the houses were still intact.

As you walk along, it feels like you've gone from the city to a slum. The houses have changed from mud bricks to wooden planks, and even the roofs are just covered by a tarpaulin.

Before I transmigrated, although I was an orphan and my life wasn't great, I lived a stable life until I was twenty, relying on the inheritance left by my parents who died in an accident. I had never seen such a miserable living environment before.

Shenli sighed, "...The living conditions in the fasting monastery are a million times better than here."

Seeing that Chen Shu hadn't spoken for a long time, and combined with Shenli's words, Xiaoxue mistakenly thought that Chen Shu disliked the environment. "Boss, if you don't want to go in, can you wait for me for a while? I'll be right out."

"No need, I'll go in and take a look too. It's the first time I've ever seen such a minimalist house," Chen Shu joked, trying to sound casual.

“Yes, I think it’s only because it rarely rains in the desert that people can live here.” Shenli agreed wholeheartedly.

"There's nothing I can do. Because of me, my brother hasn't been able to take on any missions, so he's had to stay here." Xiaoxue looked into the alley with self-reproach.

"Let's go, let's go. I almost forgot. We still have a mission later. Let's hurry, it'll be harder to move around after dark."

As Chen Shu spoke, he led the way into the alley.

After passing the wooden poles that support the planks, we arrived at the innermost part, where there was a small wooden hut with its door ajar.

Chen Shu turned to look at Xiaoxue, "This?"

Xiaoxue nodded, walked in front of Chen Shu, pushed open the door and went in, "Brother?"

Seeing Xiaoxue go in, Chen Shu followed her in. As soon as he entered, he saw a haggard-looking man lying weakly on the bed.

Upon hearing the sound, the man looked towards the door, and the moment he saw Xiaoxue, his dull eyes lit up instantly.

"Xiaoxue?!"

Xiaoxue walked to the man's side with a pained expression, looking at the wounds on his arms and body. "Brother, they've come looking for you again? Didn't the War Axe men say they would protect you?"

The man's gentle gaze instantly turned to hatred as he looked at Chen Shu, "Xiao Xue, did you go to see them yesterday?"

Seeing the man's gaze, Xiaoxue immediately grabbed his hand. "Brother, listen to me. Lord Chen treats me very well. With Lord Chen around, no one will dare to bully us anymore."

Upon hearing the words "Lord Chen," and glancing at Xiaoxue's clothes, the man instantly broke free from her grasp, picked up a bow and arrow from the nearby table, and drew the bow and nocked the arrow in one swift motion.

"elder brother!"

"You beast! Die!"

An arrow pierced the air and flew straight toward Chen Shu!

Just then, Shenli, who had been leaning against the door frame, bulged his leg muscles and instantly stepped to Chen Shu's side.

He casually deflected an arrow in mid-air...

An even louder whooshing sound came from behind the wall, and the next second, the arrow grazed the man's right cheek and was firmly embedded in the wall!

At the same time, the man had an additional bloody mark on his right cheek.

"If we make another move, it won't just be a bloody mark," Shenli said in a deep voice, arms crossed.

"Sir, please don't do it, I beg you, please don't do it..."

Xiaoxue stood in front of Shenli and his brother, kneeling on the ground and pleadingly looking at Chen Shu.

Seeing Xiaoxue's actions, the man's expression froze for a moment. He suppressed his anger, clenched his fists, and looked at Chen Shu, "What do you want in return for letting my sister go?"

Chen Shuchang sighed, as if he had been constantly questioned ever since he came into this world.

At first, offering rare treasures to the Night's Watch, while their wariness was justified, did make them somewhat unhappy.

In the recruit training camp, the instructors' targeting of him, although they gave seemingly reasonable explanations, he wasn't stupid. It was just a "test," and he could just endure it.

However, later, she was ambushed by [Yiyu], and Hongying was filled with disappointment, while Lengxuan looked at her with anger.

This made Chen Shu realize that they wouldn't completely let their guard down against him unless he had a real "achievement" to show for it.

If I were truly just a symbiote, I wouldn't say anything; I would kill anyone who dared to provoke me.

But there are no "what ifs," one's own soul is simply that of a real person.

Upon arriving in this world, regardless of whether it is a fabrication or not, the Great Xia Dynasty remains the same, and the Night Watchmen are truly and silently protecting millions of people.

Whenever he thought of these things, Chen Shu would suppress his impulses, anger, and even resentment.

"Okay, then list out one of my crimes, what I did to your sister, and how I should let her off the hook."

Upon hearing this, the man was clearly at a loss for words, because he didn't know Chen Shu at all, so how could he know what he would do to his sister?

"Brother, please stop talking. Lord Chen has been very good to me."
