Chapter 835: Chapter 835
The insects affected by the blast instantly dropped dead, falling like raindrops, along with snakes and geckos, creating a dense sound as they hit the ground.
William wasn’t dead. Lin Baici’s Death’s Grip, which appeared to be aimed at Chaopan, actually caught William’s head just before Wild Buddha’s sigh reached them, flinging him away like one would yank out a radish.
William flew more than ten meters, hit a big tree, and fell to the ground, tumbling in disarray. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel fire.net
William cried out then quickly shut his mouth as he realized the Southeast Asian man had died silently.
And the sight of the insects dying was particularly frightful.
William took a sharp breath. What kind of Divine Grace was this?
William started trembling, thinking if he had been hit, he would already be a goner!
Indeed, not resisting God Lin
was the correct decision!
Lin Baici walked over to Chaopan, didn’t deliver a coup de grâce, and started searching for cards.
Because it wasn’t necessary. Being scraped by Wild Buddha blowing a lamp would snuff out the soul’s Flame, resulting in a very thorough death.
[Under the gods, all are ants; why bother about the lives of such vermin?]
Lin Baici paused for a moment, understanding Eater God’s point.
He shouldn’t have wasted Divine Power using Death’s Grip to save William, for this man was expendable, and once used could be discarded like a rag.
[If you want to "eat meat for life," you need to harden your heart!]
[Law of the jungle, survival of the fittest!]
[Hunting dogs are consumables. When you keep dogs, do you care about what they think?]
Lin Baici shrugged, appearing casual but also reflecting on his own actions.
He simply thought that since William had surrendered and followed his commands faithfully, he should give him a hand.
"God Lin, you’re really powerful!"
William got up, patted off the dirt, and came running back, with not a hint of resentment on his face but instead lavishing huge compliments.
This time, he truly felt at ease about surviving.
Because Lin Baici had absolutely no reason to go out of his way to save him, yet he did it anyway.
William felt regretful, wishing he were a person from the Nine States so he could really follow Lin Baici.
Lin Baici pocketed the cards and looked towards Chaopan.
Chaopan looked around and then ran over to Lin Baici, immediately bowing in defeat.
Lin Baici was surprised: "You’re quitting just like that?"
Chaopan hastily shook his head: "I just remembered, today’s Sunday, I’m vegetarian, and I abstain from violence!"
Kim Myungjin and William gave Chaopan a disdainful look; if you’re scared, just admit it, what’s with making up excuses?
"Master Lin, here’s the supply box, take care of it!"
Chaopan felt awkward, but being embarrassed was better than losing his life.
Thinking of Lin Baici’s commanding move that killed the Southeast Asian man in an instant, no amount of lives would have saved him!
"Master Lin, what’s that move where a Buddha statue appears behind you called?"
Chaopan was curious: "As far as I know, there’s nothing like that in Nine States Kung Fu!"
"That’s because you’re not well-informed enough!"
Lin Baici brushed off the question: "Are you alone tonight, or will you stick with us?"
"If Master Lin doesn’t mind, I would like to stay with you guys!"
Chaopan bowed deeply, his tone respectful, hoping to stay with Lin Baici and learn by observing his battles.
Lin Baici nodded, signaling William to move out and look for Xia Hongyao.
The night sky enveloped the heavens, with stars and a moon visible, but their dim glow was mostly blocked by the leaves.
The tropical rainforest at night seemed like a different world altogether.
Various insects emerged, their noises ebbing and flowing, along with some luminescent things drifting in the air.
Was it spores or fireflies?
At nine o’clock in the evening, Lin Baici found Xia Hongyao.
They had already set up camp on relatively high ground.
Five large tents stood erect, the glow from the camping lamps shining far, with insects buzzing around the bulbs casting numerous shadows.
"You’re just in time for some fresh grilled crocodile meat. Try some!"
Xia Hongyao cheerfully tossed everyone a bottle of water then handed Lin Baici a piece of crocodile meat she had just bitten into.
Lin Baici looked at the sizzling oily crocodile meat, took a small bite.
It had a satisfying chewiness, reminiscent a bit of chicken.
Gu Qingqiu asked with a smile.
"I’ve managed to gather two sets of cards."
Lin Baici took a seat.
Huang Jinxiang was surprised: "Your efficiency is just too exaggerated, isn’t it?
Hua Yueyu was conflicted, wondering if going over to Tai Mei would seem too much like a fawning dog, or if others would look down on her?
"Brother Lin, feeling tired? Let me give you a massage!"
Li Yintong had none of the Little Merperson’s concerns and ran up behind Lin Baici, pounding his shoulders with her little fists.
I’ve had it up to here with you!
Tai Mei glared at Hua Yueyu; if she wanted to be a fawning dog, so be it. If you find a good man, why not go after him before some other woman steps up?
"We just happened upon a temporary team!"
Lin Baici laughed lightly.
"What’s the plan for tomorrow?"
Gu Qingqiu wanted to continue the adventure for a few more days, enjoying this thrilling life.
Che Zhengshuo used a stick to pass Gu Qingqiu a piece of grilled crocodile meat.
Gu Qingqiu waved it off, indicating she didn’t want it. She felt too far from Lin Baici to talk comfortably, so she stood up and moved closer to him.
"Young brother, don’t you know your own strength?"
