I Fed The Affectionate And Paranoid God - Chapter 10
The slender monster’s movements were very sensitive, but due to being over two meters tall and being injured in the arm by Xia Chenxi just now, its body lost its perfect balance ability and soon became a live target, blocked in the middle by everyone and unable to leave.
The strange monster’s face twisted suddenly, and its gaze fixed coldly on the residents, especially Xia Chenxi.
Its injured arm was unable to perform major movements, leaving only the other arm wrapped in a chain to move.
But from beginning to end, it didn’t extend its arms to attack other residents again.
That was why there had been no casualties so far.
After realizing this, Xia Chenxi quickly said to the other humans, “Attack its legs.”
He didn’t know if this strange monster could understand what he was saying. So he didn’t explain much in order to prevent his plan from being noticed by it.
Others didn’t ask for the reason; they all followed Xia Chenxi’s instructions and swung or stabbed around the monster’s legs.
Even if the strange monster reacted quickly, it was difficult to avoid so many weapon attacks.
Its movement was greatly restricted, and it was trapped in place for a moment.
Xia Chenxi seized this opportunity and suddenly erupted, using his weapon to strike at the other arm of the monster.
The monster reacted extremely quickly, quickly twisting its body and instinctively blocking the weapon with its injured arm.
With a clang, the already-injured arm suffered a second slash and was completely unable to move.
The wounds and bones were all cracked open, and black and foul-smelling blood flowed out from inside, continuously dripping onto the ground with the monster’s movements.
The stench filled the hallway in waves, and several nearby residents almost blacked out from the smell; they all felt dazed for a moment.
At this moment, the monster’s eyes turned red with blood, and it suddenly went crazy and hit Xia Chenxi with its body. Xia Chenxi flew out like a broken wire and fell heavily to the ground. The excruciating pain hit him, and he almost fainted.
The others suppressed the disgusting smell and hurriedly continued to attack the monster, preventing it from getting closer to Xia Chenxi.
During this period, some people also attacked the monster, but they only made small cuts on the monster’s skin and couldn’t truly harm the monster.
So, everyone was also more aware of the importance of Xia Chenxi; they protected him like he was their life and fought for a glimmer of hope for everyone.
But during that time, a few people were knocked out by the monster and hit the floor, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, and it wasn’t known if they were still alive.
At this point, no residents took a step back, and their eyes were red. They were already fighting with the hope of dying with the monster.
Xia Chenxi’s eyes turned black for a moment, and from the corner of his eyes, he could see several residents like himself who had been knocked out by the monster, lying motionless; their faces were pale, and their breathing was so weak that it seemed like they were about to die.
Xia Chenxi sat up, holding back the pain. He breathed rapidly and stared at the monster not far away. His eyes were filled with suppressed anger and anxiety.
Although the text in his mind had disappeared, Xia Chenxi had been calculating time in his heart all along.
There were still two minutes left.
He had to resolve this crisis within two minutes; otherwise, the monster would still kill everyone.
Xia Chenxi remembered that when he had attacked the monster’s arm before, it instinctively used its injured arm to block the weapon.
Did this mean that the arm wrapped in chains was very important to it?
In addition, it also needed to use that chain when killing.
While thinking about the plan in his mind, Xia Chenxi slowly stood up. The pain from his internal organs made him pause and take a few deep breaths.
After fully standing up, Xia Chenxi moved his limbs and was grateful that his hands and feet were not injured, so his movements weren’t affected.
Xia Chenxi ran back with his weapon and said to the remaining seven or eight people, “Find a way to keep its attention.”
The others immediately followed his instructions and risked their lives to create a crisis for the monster.
As Xia Chenxi approached, the monster became even crazier. Soon, two people were knocked down by the monster and completely lost their strength.
The remaining few people were struggling even harder to support him.
Xia Chenxi silently counted down in his heart.
In the last fifty seconds, Xia Chenxi seized an opportunity to launch a surprise attack and rushed forward, using all his strength to chop the monster’s arm.
A clicking sound sounded.
Perhaps luck also stood by Xia Chenxi’s side; his attack fell on the intended spot.
The monster instinctively dodged, but Xia Chenxi happened to strike at its arm joint.
This position was the weakest, so Xia Chenxi’s attack directly cut off half of the monster’s arm.
Half of the arm and chain fell to the ground, while at the same time, a large amount of black blood flowed out of the arm section, spreading across the white floor.
Accompanied by it was a more intense, bloody odor.
No one had the time to pay attention to the blood on the ground.
The monster began to roar wildly, knocking everyone away, including Xia Chenxi, and then it ran towards the chain on the ground.
Everyone lay on the ground, their faces filled with despair.
It was over; they didn’t expect to end up without success.
Someone yelled with red eyes, “Kill me, come kill me, you murderous monster.”
Xia Chenxi counted down the last five seconds in his heart, unleashing the last trace of strength. He suddenly rushed out and grabbed the chain, one step ahead of the monster, then tightly guarded it in his arms.
The monster’s movements were instantly fixed there; it didn’t take any further steps.
Everyone’s gaze was uncertain.
Although the arms of the monster were all broken, it still had the ability to kill everyone.
But it stood there motionless, staring at everyone with a resentful gaze, especially Xia Chenxi.
Everyone stiffened, as if their blood were frozen.
The corridor was silent, and even the person who had been shouting for death before closed his mouth, sitting there with a pale face, waiting to die.
Xia Chenxi ignored the terrifying gaze from the monster and remained motionless, holding onto the chain tightly with both arms.
He was gambling.
He bet that his guess was correct.
If he guessed wrong, everyone, including him, would die here.
Because he no longer had any strength to fight back.
After an unknown amount of time, the monster slowly moved and reluctantly glanced at the chain in Xia Chenxi’s arms before quickly disappearing at the end of the corridor.
It never appeared again.
The residents watched this scene in disbelief, completely devoid of joy after surviving.
“Will it come back to kill us?” a resident suddenly asked.
Their bodies trembled, and their expressions became even more fearful.
“I guess… probably not.”
Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the person who spoke; it was said by the resident who had cut off the monster’s arm with a weapon. They showed expressions of disbelief.
A resident tried to sit up and endured the excruciating pain, speaking intermittently, “How do you know?”
After saying this sentence, his forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
His face turned increasingly pale.
Everyone else remained quiet, waiting for Xia Chenxi’s answer.
Xia Chenxi gestured to the chain in his arms with his eyes and said, “Because I snatched its weapon, it can no longer kill; otherwise, it wouldn’t have left just now.”
Everyone remained silent, but a strong desire to live erupted again in their hearts due to Xia Chenxi’s words.
The eyes of the man in the floral shirt held complex emotions, and he murmured to Xia Chenxi, “I hope you’re right… I really want to live.”
Suddenly, one of the doors opened, revealing a face filled with fear and unease. His gaze met the dozen or so people lying in the hallway, and he shrank back in fear, wanting to close the door.
The nearby resident suddenly lifted his head and shouted, “Who? Get out here!”
All the living residents in the corridor were startled; only then did they all notice the resident who was about to hide. Their expressions were indescribably complex.
They were angry.
Everyone desperately tried to survive; even weaker girls were no exception, but this male resident actually chose to hide.
Almost everyone was wiped out.
The resident walked out slowly, feeling both guilty and uneasy, wishing to crawl into the cracks in the ground.
Xia Chenxi glanced at the other party and realized that he was the resident who had complained about him before. Upon closer reflection, it seemed normal for him to do this.
“Why did you hide? Did you feel at ease and enjoy the safety we brought to you with our lives while we almost died?!!” The man in the floral shirt had the most explosive temper and cursed out loud, ignoring the pain in his body.
