Chapter 2569 - 2569 There Really is Someone Behind You!

2569 There Really is Someone Behind You!

Bei Xu had not made this decision because he lacked the urge of bloodthirst.

Instead, it was because he saw resistance as only leading to unnecessary sacrifice when they were going to be saved a day and a half later.

He could regain control of the situation once Lin Yuan arrived! At that time, he would repay these people for everything they had done to him!

Bei Xu had suffered his fair share of struggles in the Grotto Continent. When he had been the ‘stone insect’, he would often be left utterly exhausted after a day spent in the mines.

Furthermore, he had been chained and beaten for pleasure by the guards when they were in a bad mood. He had been one of the most popular choices to be beaten due to his sturdy physique.

‘Stone insects’ were considered a resource, and the managers did not want to kill the ‘stone insects’ when they were just trying to have some fun.

Bei Xu had experienced so much and even endured all that cruel treatment.

However, it was clear that Bei Xu had underestimated the butler’s methods.

When Bei Xu was brought to the butler, he felt a stinging pain in his left shoulder. The butler had yanked his left arm out of its socket.

Bei Xu let out a gruff grunt, and beads of cold sweat began dripping down his back.

Bei Xu was not alone. His companions also received the same treatment.

Bei Xu thought, It’s good that I turned them all into my blood zombies. Otherwise, they would have exposed that I’m the group’s leader. Once this is exposed, there is a high chance that this butler will put an end to us.

“You rats dare to take me around on a wild goose chase. You sure are brazen! Before I begin questioning you, let me see if your endurance matches up with your courage!”

The butler did not give Bei Xu a chance to respond and stomped his foot down on Bei Xu’s right hand before forcefully grinding it down.

The Grotto Continent had a precipitous terrain, and walking across it was no different from trekking a mountain.

Thus, anyone of a certain status in the city preferred wearing shoes with bases made of the Thorny Armor Scorpion shells. They were similar to the spiked cleats worn by athletes from Lin Yuan’s previous life.

The Thorny Armor Scorpion had a very sharp armor that could pierce through rocks and provided increased friction.

When such shoes made contact with skin, the skin would immediately be broken.

The butler’s shoes punctured the bones in Bei Xu’s hand. Every one of the butler’s movements broke Bei Xu’s bones even further.

The only way that Bei Xu could survive was to stall for time.

With the two Myth III sawtooth-type feys around, Bei Xu had no hope of escaping using his strength.

“I indeed realized that we were being followed. No one wants to become prey, especially this time when we’re acting on the boss’ orders. We don’t want to cause trouble for the boss.”

Bei Xu had instantly recognized the butler and knew who was targeting him.

He had indeed learned a hard lesson from this experience. From now on, he would never dare to act impulsively on his own again!

The butler of the bigshot elite he had tried to get drunk had not captured him immediately. Instead, he had tailed him. He had only captured Bei Xu when he realized that he was being taken around in circles.

The butler’s original intention had not changed. Bei Xu could only try to use this to trade for another day and a half of survival.

Hence, Bei Xu intentionally revealed nuggets of information that he knew the butler was interested in.

Bei Xu could sense that the imprint Lin Yuan had left in his body was being awakened.

Previously, when Bei Xu was exploring the subterranean dimensional rift, he had fallen into a trap set by a Stone Statue Monster. The Stone Statue Monster had fallen from the sky and crashed down on half of Bei Xu’s body. As a result, that half of Bei Xu’s body was pulverized, and he only managed to survive and kill the Stone Statue Monster by sacrificing the Blood Parasite Witch Fish.

At that time, Bei Xu wanted to use the Sharp Shadow Bat’s Bat Colony Sucking to absorb the blood of the lifeforms in his surroundings to recover his own vitality.

However, the rate at which his vitality was recovered could not catch up to the rate at which his vitality was being drained.

After the Stone Statue Monster’s attack, the organs in half of Bei Xu’s body had been completely crushed.

The impact had been so great that even the bones in the other half of Bei Xu’s body were fractured.

At that moment, Bei Xu sensed the imprint that Lin Yuan had left in his body being activated, and vitality began bubbling up in his body.

This vitality not only recovered his lost vitality but also helped him completely heal his crushed organs and injured bones! In the short span of a few minutes, Bei Xu had returned to full health!

Bei Xu knew he could not allow his expressions to betray him.

If his body recovered right in front of the butler and his hand was returned to its original state, the butler would flay him alive to see what was happening within his body.

Bei Xu spent all his time making his way through perilous environments. Thus, this was not the first time that the imprint in his body was being awakened.

He had realized that he was able to control the activation of the imprint, so he forcefully suppressed and closed the triggered Mountain Jade Imprint.

After hearing what Bei Xu said, the butler kicked his chest.

“There really is someone behind you! You say that you won’t want to cause trouble for the boss, but you’ve already done that! If the Lord had not asked for you to be captured alive, I would be torturing the lot of you, audacious creatures!

“Your bodies are so smooth and don’t even have a single scar. Your boss likely spoils you. Later, when the master asks you questions, you might be able to have an easier time if you answer directly!

“Don’t hold out hope of being saved by your boss. If you manage to satisfy the master, he might be willing to let you keep your lives and allow you to work under me!”

Bei Xu immediately relaxed when he heard what the butler said.

It would take almost a day of traveling to bring him back from this desolate area back to the city.

Since the elite wanted to interrogate him, he would not die as long as he did not cough up the answers.

He had to hold on for this day and a half, no matter what!

Bei Xu did not believe a word of what the butler had just said.
