Chapter 211: Chapter 26 If You Have Problems, I’ll Help Out; I’m Wang, Your Neighbor (First Update 6K)

Rustling, rustling, rustling!

Even without a breeze, the whole forest seemed to be making a strange, hoarse noise, making it feel as though the entire forest had come to life.

"Shit, what’s going on?"

"Has she gone mad?"

This sudden change shocked everyone.

Bi Chaoyang saw that Rudius was now breathing more in than out and couldn’t help feeling annoyed, "Lan Xin, if you didn’t want to team up with people from the Dawn Church, couldn’t you have spoken up right at the start? Why did you have to wait until we were out and ambush him? By doing this, haven’t you endangered all of us? Have you, have you really given up on being human?"

The nun from the Starry Church struck and brought down a missionary from the Dawn Church.

To the onlookers, the whole thing looked a bit like a "kill the heretic" scenario.

But what’s strange about this is that the nun from the Starry Church had cast aside her human identity to become an alien slave.

If you’ve already betrayed the Star Goddess, then why go to such lengths to utterly destroy her preachers? What’s in it for you?

As everyone knows, only alien monsters of Earl rank and above can brand slaves, and once branded, they are no longer considered human and are executed on sight by the Star Tower within safe zones.

And even in the Wastelands beyond the safe zones, anyone over Second Rank would be killed without hesitation.

Lie Zhenzi is great, treating the non-human with equal severity!

So, it was clear that Lan Xin accepted the slavery brand only after leaving the city—

"No, seriously, what the hell are you thinking?" Bi Chaoyang really couldn’t stand it, he was struggling to accept what had happened.

Others becoming slaves, that usually happens when they’re captured by aliens, out of helplessness, they are branded.

But Lan Xin, you? Protected by everyone, and you go and brand yourself with a slave brand?

What are you doing?

Are you okay?

There can’t possibly be a brand that can’t be applied or removed in this world, right?

"Don’t talk so much; can he be saved?" Chen Nian asked.

"Not likely; the blade is off, probably her specially made Curse Blade. Only healing professions from either another nun’s or the Mother Goddess’s pathway can disperse it."

Bi Chaoyang generously used his own Doctor bandages to try to cover Udirus’s wound but found it utterly useless.

Those black and red, astringently patterned, were constantly eroding Rudius’s flesh.

Seeing this, Hong Yan pressed the nun’s neck and said, "Lan Xin, I’ll give you one last chance. Heal Rudius and we’ll let you go, as if we never saw you! Go be a monster’s slave if you wish; we’re through! How about that?"

To be honest, after Lan Xin struck first, being able to break it off on good terms would be the best possible outcome.

After all, according to the Human Transcendent Alliance rules, anyone who becomes an alien slave must be eliminated without exception.

However, after listening, Lan Xin shook her head. Her eyes were lifeless, she stopped resisting, and just said softly, "It’s useless, I’ve already told them your position, you can’t escape... I’m sorry, right now, I’m very sad too..."

"But if I didn’t do it, he would have been killed... I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."

The young nun had begun to cry out loud.

"Hmph, pretending to be all sentimental? Who cares about your reasons? You’ve still betrayed us all after we’ve protected you all this way, you ungrateful wretch!" Chen Nian said angrily.

Hong Yan, however, said, "It’s no use talking about it now. Chen Nian, keep her restrained but don’t kill her, she can be a hostage! Bi Chaoyang, come with me to support Xu Shu and take down that monster quickly; we need to retreat as soon as possible before it’s too late."

"Okay!" Chen Nian’s robes stirred slightly in the breeze, his duster sweeping up as he took over from Hong Yan in pinning Lan Xin to the ground.

But Bi Chaoyang looked around and said, "Then let’s hurry, it seems Lan Xin has betrayed everyone; according to her name token, she is a criminal. At this moment, if I were just to think of self-preservation and ran away, it would be a wise move to conserve strength, and the Astronomy Association wouldn’t have any issues with me!"

"What do you mean?" Hong Yan gave him a cold look.

"Nothing much, I’m just saying if Xu Shu wasn’t such a bro, I really wouldn’t bother with you, especially you, Chen Nian. You came with her in the same carriage, and you didn’t notice she was a traitor for half the day? Hong Yan, you deliberately let her take Lan Xin hostage; I’m sure you had the same idea as me," laughed Bi Chaoyang.

Chen Nian’s eyes went wide: "What? You guys, suspect me? Hong Yan, you too?"

Hong Yan expressionless: "Stop the nonsense. Should we rather wait here to be attacked by her accomplices?"

"Heh, that’s also true."

Without another word, Bi Chaoyang commanded his three walking corpses to join Hong Yan and rush towards the battlefield.

Leaving Chen Nian alone atop Lan Xin, grinding his teeth in anger, his chest paining with fury, and of course, there lay Rudius beside them, on the verge of death.

Seeing this, Lan Xin softly said, "So, it turns out you’re also despised as a weakling just like me, heh heh heh..."

Chen Nian slapped her across the face, turning her cheek red, "Shut up, whore!"

Lan Xin opened her mouth but said nothing more, her face showing an inexplicably mournful expression as she continued to stare blankly at the sky.

...

At this moment, the main battlefield elsewhere had entered a heated stage.

Xu Shu grabbed the worm and slammed it into the ground with two punches, sinking the ground into a hole over two meters wide, pummeling the worm until it was bruised and oozing pus and brains.
