Chapter 216: Chapter 27 Three Sentences, Warm Her for Eight Hours (Please Subscribe)_2

"Should we just head straight into the legend, and hide out for a while?"

Xu Shu thought at first, but then realized it wasn’t a good idea.

It was clear that Earl Lance was coming for him, and if he didn’t leave but just happened to be standing there thinking about where to go for a few hours, only to find out he had reappeared later, by then it would be too late to grow wings and fly away!

There was also the possibility that the Earl might leave, but relying entirely on luck was too risky!

For a moment, Xu Shu seemed to have fallen into a dead end again.

The more perilous the moment, the calmer he became, and any usual inadequacies disappeared entirely.

In their place was absolute composure, and his thinking became more active.

This kind of "dangerous" thinking had already helped Xu Shu break open a ray of life on several occasions when he had been cornered.

However, no one would allow him to hesitate for too long.

A moment later.

Xu Shu’s expressionless face lifted from the dispersing crowd of spiders, and he asked:

"What are you trying to say?"

Earl Lance said, "You have the scent of our Empress on you, so you must have been in close contact with her, and moreover, the scent is rich and fresh. You must have met with her not long ago. You know where she is."

"I do, she’s hiding out in the Wasteland." Xu Shu said without a change in facial expression or heartbeat.

He was not lying at all, Black Widow was indeed hiding in the prison.

Just a short while ago.

Lance took a step forward: "Tell me, or die."

Xu Shu saw his foot, which couldn’t be held back as it advanced, and his eyes lit up.

He said indifferently, "Let me go, or she dies, too."

"You are negotiating with me?"

"Yes, I am negotiating with you. I admit you are strong, but I think your future Empress probably won’t survive a few days without food." Xu Shu remained composed.

"...Human, I am not interested in you. Just bring out our Empress, and I will overlook the capital crimes you have committed..." Earl Lance’s face grew cold.

He said..."future" Empress!

He obviously knew the Empress was still young!

He was not lying!

Of course, the most important thing was the strong, race-superior aura emanating from him! Vivid, intense, beating, and even stronger than when the Empress was born!

Such an aura could not be faked, and it was impossible to fool oneself.

After all, the Empress was his own flesh and blood!

"Are you saying, I go in and bring out your Empress?" Xu Shu suddenly asked, tilting his head.

Are you sure? If I go in, will I even come out? Will you restrict me?

Lance said: "This is your only choice. I do not wish to negotiate with you humans. I will brand you with a slave’s mark to prevent any breach of trust, a pastime you humans are quite fond of."

Ha, as expected.

Xu Shu said: "So, I’m reduced to begging on my knees?"

"...Hmm?" Half of Lance’s eight eyes stopped moving.

"What I mean is, becoming your slave is worse than death. You might as well kill me now and keep searching for your Empress to see if she can last over 10 days?" Xu Shu said.

"You are threatening me?"

"That’s right, you can try it and see if I have the guts to commit suicide. With my insignificant life, the loss of your future, most powerful Empress, would be a bad deal."

Xu Shu, tough as nails.

In such a situation, when the opponent clearly needed something from him, he had to present a firmer stance.

With a huge gap in strength, a real fight would not be much harder for Lance to kill him than to squash an ant.

The only thing that could threaten the opponent was his own "death before dishonor"!

If you dare, then kill me, and risk letting your little spiders find the Empress?

Do you dare to bet?

Earl, surely you do not wish to see the Empress starve to death?

Lance stared at him intently, for a long time, unable to find any hint of retreat in the human’s eyes.

After some time, he said: "Rest assured, the slave mark I engrave can be removed by her once you bring back the Empress."

"Is that so?"

"I swear on the name of the First Ancestor, it is true."

"Alien Species sure do have rules... it turns out it really is the Black Widow Curse Seal that can remove the slave mark..." Xu Shu silently thought.

The next moment, he nodded politely to Earl Lance: "Your offer is good, but I cannot accept your condition. To me, the glory of humankind is greater than life itself. To bow to you Aliens is harder than ascending to heaven..."

"!" Lan Xin, who was hiding in his arms, suddenly looked up, staring fiercely at him, her eyes bursting with unprecedented strange hues.

Lance said: "Then you must die..."

"Unless, you duel with me in two matches. If you win, I will, by the rules, do one thing for you. This agreement of victory and defeat cannot be considered a betrayal of the Human Clan." Xu Shu interrupted.

"...A duel?" Lance furrowed his other four eyes.

"What do you want to duel over?"

"A race. Sorry to say, but I’m very fast, faster than you can imagine."

"Is that so?" Lance was noncommittal.

"Of course, so for the first challenge, I bet you cannot catch my attack." Xu Shu said.

"...Heh heh heh." Lance finally began to laugh.

"Then I begin."

"Please." Lance’s demeanor was much like that of a human gentleman.

The next moment.

A blazing golden spear lit up behind Xu Shu.

The Chasing Sun Golden Spear!

This was the utmost Chasing Sun Golden Spear he had accumulated while carrying Lan Xin and chasing the sun back.

It was very powerful.

At least, it could cause tons of damage to a Second Rank level 31 Alien Species·Chang Tree Demon—a testament to his real battle experience in the ruins.
