Chapter 2729: Contempt

Lan Xuefeng knew they would say that, and he wouldn’t let that happen. “I’m not leaving you! Dead or alive, we’re a team!”

“Captain!” the other four pleaded.

Lan Xuefeng shook his head. “I won’t do it!”

“If you don’t go, we’ll all die! If you get out alive, at least you can collect our bones later!”

Lan Xuefeng hesitated for a moment, but shook his head in the end. “No! We’ll kill these worms together and get out of here!”

Lian Xiao sighed. He knew his captain would say that, but…

“Who would have thought this would happen after we returned from Peace Grassland. This valley appeared out of nowhere, and we fell into this Secret Essence Mine. Now, we have to face so many worms!”

The others were as full of despair as he was.

Lou Mo screamed at that moment.

Everyone looked in his direction.

A giant worm had jumped into the air when they weren’t looking, and it bit Lou Mo’s left arm.

Lou Mo was taken by surprise.

Crack!

He immediately sliced the worm in half and freed his left arm. However, he was already wounded.

The worm’s sharp teeth had dug into his arm, but the blood that oozed out wasn’t red.

“The worms are venomous!” Lou Hao gritted his teeth. “Be careful!”

They were as capable as they were said to be. Not only did they have tough minds, they also had a high tolerance toward poison.

Ye Hongxue and her teammates were from Class A as well, but the venom had still affected their minds.

Feng Wu had to give them a potion to neutralize the toxin.

However, the worm’s bite didn’t affect Lou Mo’s movements.

As the number of wounds increased, however, they started to get exhausted.

Their hands were all swollen.

However, they gritted their teeth and kept on fighting.

They were drained of spiritual essence, and they were stumbling as if they could collapse at any moment.

However, they still decided to fight until they were dead.

Lou Mo seemed to have lost all hope.

“We fought our way out when we were surrounded by Dongsang soldiers. I would never have thought we would be killed by some worms one day!”

Lian Xiao said, “Where did this Secret Essence Mine come from? How did we get here? I survived the Dongsang battlefield, only to die in my homeland! This is ridiculous!”

His teammate chimed in, “If I knew this was going to happen, I would have killed more Dongsang soldiers in Peace Grassland!”

“I killed 13!”

“I killed 15!”

“I think Captain Lan killed 30!”

“Guys, we’ve killed our fair share of enemies. We don’t have any regrets!”

…

Thump!

Lou Mo was the first to fall.

He was finally drained of energy, and his legs gave out.

“Hey, where are the worms going? They’ve turned away!”

Lian Xiao caught Lou Mo and dragged him back. He was about to charge at the worms, when he saw that they had all turned in the opposite direction.

What did that mean?

Was it contempt?
