CHAPTER 615: CHAPTER 167: DEAD END, SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST (VOTE FOR MONTHLY PASS)

Boom!

Dust billowed as the entire building seemed to jump.

At the bottom of the elevator, there was a mess of blood. Most of the Transcendents had been squashed into meat paste; they were only First Rank, their flesh weak, and being crushed into meat paste, they naturally died.

Only one Second Rank "Iron Armor" and one lucky First Rank survivor remained alive.

The former was okay, relying on a strong physique to withstand the blow.

The latter, although not dead immediately, also looked unlikely to survive, having been flattened into a pancake as well.

Additionally, two "criminals" had successfully made it past and upon seeing the situation, instantly dared not to continue the chase.

Kidding, the two of them were First Rank, without anyone else, were they going to chase after Xu Shu just to deliver themselves to him?

They were not that foolish!

But they couldn’t go back either, so they simply lay flat against the wall, neither climbing up nor down.

The other guards who had escaped by luck or hadn’t managed to get into the elevator watched with their eyes bulging and the hairs on their backs standing on end, glad they hadn’t pursued,

A clever one ran back to help the ’Third House Leader’ get free.\

The Third House Leader gnashed his teeth with frustration, feeling powerless, knowing that it would be a while before he could free his leg.

Suddenly, he let out a sigh, "Forget it, the door is closed, he can’t get out! Summon everyone, block him in, today is crucial, we must kill him upstairs, if not dead, at least don’t let him escape below, and also, retrieve that Fallen Nun, we only have seven vessels this time, missing one is not secure enough!"

The Third House Leader changed his mind, he thought Xu Shu was too good at escaping.

His subordinates received the order and immediately moved to summon more people.

Xu Shu had no idea about this yet; he sprinted, nearly flying, and finally made it to the top of the elevator, seeing the elevator shaft exit.

With pursuers behind him, he didn’t hesitate, immediately crawling out and into a corridor over four meters high and wide, surrounded by white walls, clean and bright.

After walking a few tens to hundreds of meters and turning a corner, Xu Shu saw another elevator entrance in the distance and hurried over.

However, this elevator only went down, not up.

"Hmm? What’s going on? Where’s the exit?"

Xu Shu was puzzled, hearing shouts and cries behind him, he knew the pursuers had followed.

He walked on, turned right at the end of the corridor after walking a hundred more steps, and saw another elevator.

But it was still an elevator that only went down!

"This..."

Xu Shu felt heavy-hearted. After another loop, it was still an elevator going downward.

If he continued walking and turned the corner, he’d be back where he started.

He stopped, thought for a moment, and understood.

This was a "return"-shaped enclosed passage, with walls that corresponded to the four buildings.

Could there be a mechanism or secret door in the walls?

Xu Shu tried punching the walls, attempting to break through the walls with brute force to get out.

Thud, thud, thud!

Xu Shu threw several punches but found these white walls to be extremely solid; his strikes did not even cause them to shake.

How could this be?

Such a punch could pierce through steel, it made no sense that he couldn’t smash a wall.

Suspiciously, the wall was smooth and even, without any cracks.

Then how had he come in?

"Kid, stop running, you can’t get out!"

"This is the realm of the Divine Chosen, you’ve offended the gods, do you still think you can leave?"

"Join us, your strength is decent. The Third House Leader said, if you surrender, not only will you be eligible for God’s grace, but you can also rise to a position of power!"

Xu Shu heard those from the Heroic Society taunting him from around a twisted corner.

They were probably a little more than ten people, the fastest group to arrive.

Their voices were loud, but not one dared to show their face.

Obviously, Xu Shu’s recent actions had scared them.

They were Transcendents, unlike those fearlessly dying plastic bag heads; they valued their own lives!

The Third House Leader’s current orders were to block the man and not let him ruin anything; they had done nothing wrong by waiting.

Now there were too few of them, they’d move once everyone arrived!

Maybe even the Third House Leader himself would be here by then!

The vanguard of the Heroic Society was very crafty, shouting and cursing without truly charging, calmly waiting for reinforcements.

And Xu Shu was also in a hurry.

Didn’t he see that they were waiting for more people?

Of course, he saw it.

But he couldn’t get out, and now he was in trouble.

This was their stronghold; even if he was strong, he would be worn down here.

What’s more, they had several Third-tier Experts, and only one had shown up so far!

The only way out now was...

To summon help!

He had to summon help!

The Archbishop’s whereabouts were unknown, unreliable, probably already taken care of by the Divine Chosen.

No matter.

Xu Shu had contacts who were more reliable than the Archbishop.

One was the president of the Astronomy Association, Melanie, and the other was Han Mo, the head of the D8B3 district of the Astronomy Association!

Both were Fourth-order Demigods.

The only problem was that Xu Shu’s "Gu Pan" phone didn’t have them as contacts.

Melanie had previously deleted him, while Han Mo had never been added.

But "Tai Chu" did have them as contacts; the last time when disseminating the hiding places of the Alien Species King, he had added quite a few Fourth and Fifth Rank experts.

Under the current circumstances, Xu Shu couldn’t worry about being dropped.

At a life-and-death moment, his life was the priority!

Comrades, today "Tai Chu" is in trouble, whoever comes to the rescue will surely be handsomely rewarded!

Xu Shu steeled himself and opened the Promotion Drive.

...

It wouldn’t open.

The Promotion Drive showed no response.
