Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

"Boss, you're back."

Upon seeing Chen Shu and his companions, the two "symbiotes" immediately spoke respectfully.

Chen Shu nodded gently and instructed, "Don't be nervous. The battle is over. Go and inform everyone that they should rest for an hour and then gather at the square."

"Okay boss."

After the two left, Chen Shu ignored Qin Feng, who was tied up, and looked at Qin Xue, who was huddled in a corner with her hands wrapped around her legs and her head down.

Walking up to Qin Xue, Chen Shu squatted down, looking at Qin Xue who was pouting but also looked pitiful, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "How about it? I arrived in time, didn't I?"

Upon hearing the voice, Qin Xue slightly raised her head. For a fleeting moment, her gaze met Chen Shu's, and then she nodded gently and hummed in agreement.

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Chen Shu felt a pang of guilt. "This whole thing is my fault. After I'm done with these last couple of days, I'll send someone to take you home, okay?"

A hint of surprise flickered in Qin Xue's eyes, accompanied by a subtle disappointment. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately nodded. "...Thank you, boss."

Chen Shu gently rubbed Qin Xue's head and said softly with a smile, "We're going home soon, so don't call me 'boss' anymore. Just call me by my name, or 'Brother Chen Shu' is fine too."

Qin Xue nodded obediently, "Yes, Brother Chen Shu."

Chen Shu stood up and extended his hand to Qin Xue, "Let's go, I'll take you to a nice place to stay for the next couple of days."

Qin Xue reached out and grasped Chen Shu's hand, a smile playing at the corners of her eyes. "Okay."

After holding Qin Xue's soft little hand, Chen Shu felt instantly satisfied. He turned to Shenli and the others, gesturing for them to come along. "Let's go. This area is our territory now. Let's settle into a nice house!"

"This is amazing! I'm going to be the local tyrant!!" Shenli made no attempt to hide his excitement.

"Sigh, we brothers are finally free. I really want to go home and see my wife and kids right now," Zhanfu said, patting Guan Dao on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, it will happen." The man with the Guan Dao nodded emphatically.

"Yes, definitely!"

"..."

"Are they just going to leave this kid here and ignore him?"

Amidst a chorus of sentimental remarks, a calm voice suddenly broke through.

Everyone turned to look and saw the swordsman standing next to Qin Feng. Qin Feng's face was full of stubbornness, and he looked like a warrior being tortured.

"Untie him," Chen Shu said casually, then turned and continued walking towards the agent's living area.

After the ropes binding Qin Feng were untied, he rubbed his wrists, which were red from being tied up...

"Let's go, together." The swordsman threw away the rope, followed the group ahead, and spoke calmly, leaving Qin Feng with only a handsome back view.

Chen Shu randomly chose a three-story villa and led a few people inside.

Chen Shu led Qin Xue to sit on the sofa, and the others also found seats.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Chen Shu looked at Zhanfu and Xia Ke and said, "I've only been here for a month, and there are many things I don't understand yet. You can pick some important ones to talk about."

War Axe nodded and said seriously, "Our city has two main tasks. One is to carry out some important missions, such as dealing with an important Night Watchman or capturing some business tycoons. The other is to hunt down the mysterious."

War Axe chuckled as he finished speaking, "There's not much to say about the minor matters; most of them are private affairs of believers or their agents."

Chen Shu nodded, somewhat puzzled, "Is there no defense force inside the city?"

The knight smiled calmly, "What need is there for guards? Huang Sha is the city lord. With him here, anyone from Wuliang who comes here will die. Besides, this place is located deep in the desert, so the Night Watch will not find it easily."

Chen Shu nodded in satisfaction. It sounded great. As long as the Ancient God Church didn't go crazy and come here to cause trouble, he could develop to his full potential.

"By the way, are our drinking water and food all purchased from outside?"

Chen Shu suddenly realized that if he were to use this place as a base, he would need to transport in a large amount of chocolate.

The knight nodded. "To ensure that the Night's Watch doesn't find out, we buy them from different places each time."

"Where in the Great Xia Dynasty is this desert located?"

"west."

After learning about some of the complicated matters in Shacheng, about an hour had passed.

……

"Sigh, I don't know why they've made us wait here."

"Hey, isn't that obvious? Huang Sha is dead, so he must have been reprimanded by the new boss."

"I wonder if Yiyu will come back for revenge."

"Indeed, what if the Church of the Ancient Gods returns to retaliate? Can we stop them?"

"..."

Just as everyone was falling into a slump, nine figures slowly approached from a distance.

The six people on the far side were dressed in silver-white armor, with various weapons on their backs. With each step they took, the armor made a scraping sound. Their faces were covered by helmets, which gave them an air of solemnity.

The man on the left in the middle is dressed in black ancient-style clothing, wearing a bamboo hat, revealing half of his handsome face. He has a sword at his waist, with one hand on the hilt, and his steps are calm and composed.

The man on the right had bulging muscles all over his body, and his clothes were clean and simple, except for a nameplate pendant around his neck. Not only his physique, but every step he took exuded a sense of power.

Compared to the other eight people, the person in the middle looked completely ordinary. Even his clothes were just a black casual outfit. If a stranger were standing in front of him, he would probably think, "Why is he standing in front of the others?"

The nine people arrived at the square, and all eyes turned to them...

Chen Shu stood there, frowning. He felt that looking at these people at eye level made him feel inferior.

The moment this thought crossed their minds, the ground trembled slightly, and streams of yellow sand gathered at the feet of the nine people...

One by one, the cylinders began to slowly rise...

"Wow, boss is amazing! Aren't we all considered heroes by these people?" Shenli looked down at the group of people at his feet, then turned to Chen Shu and said happily.

The swordsman maintained his dashing posture and said calmly, "Don't move around. In my experience, you look like a fool to the people below right now."

"Hey, isn't that Chen Shu in the middle? He looks so ordinary." Someone whispered in the chaotic line.

"What do you know? Don't you understand the concept of playing dumb to fool others? If he sets his sights on you, hmph..."

"Holy crap, that's awesome? What about that muscular guy next to me who keeps peeking around?"

"Oh dear, this guy must be the weakest one. Look, the others are all wearing armor or carrying swords, while he's bare-handed. He's probably just all show and no substance."
