Chapter 2712: Protective Circle (3)
There had to be thousands of them.
The four of them had to fight together to defeat one Spirit Stone Worm, and two worms could probably finish them all. There were thousands of worms out there…
Without hesitation, Huo Shan ran toward the circle Little Phoenix had drawn.
Shao Xiao and Wang Zhi looked at each other, both wondering if the circle would stop the worms.
However, they didn’t have any other choice.
There was no way they could defeat all the worms.
Those worms didn’t even need to do anything. They could easily crush them with their weight alone.
Everyone jumped into the circle except for Ling Hao.
The worms crawled toward them. The antennas on their heads were shaped like bolts, their bulging eyes glinted coldly, and their tongues flicked the way a snake’s would. It was a bone-chilling sight.
They moved very fast and reached the team in no time.
…
The look in their eyes reminded one of hungry wolves.
After being stuck here for so many years, they missed the taste of fresh human flesh.
Seeing that Ling Hao had frozen on the spot, Shao Xiao ran out of the circle and dragged him into it before the worms reached him.
Only then did Ling Hao realize what was going to happen.
“Are we going to die? Are they going to eat us? I don’t want to die…” He was so frightened that he was almost in tears.
Shao Xiao was trembling as well, but he forced himself to calm down and fought back his fear. “We have to trust Feng Wu. I’m sure we’ll be fine.”
Only a moment ago, they had been complaining about Feng Wu, but now, they realized that they really would have been a burden to her.
How humiliating…
The worms soon reached them.
The circle wasn’t all that big, and the worms were already two meters long.
They moved closer and closer.
Everyone was frightened out of their wits, when the worms stopped.
The leader of the worms had frightening eyes and was as long as five meters.
It was at least a Spiritual King.
When it stopped, the other worms stopped as well.
It seemed the other worms would follow their leader’s order without question.
The leader stretched out its head and sniffed around as if it was perplexed. It seemed to be searching for an old memory. Suddenly, it screeched in fear.
It was an ear-splitting noise.
The sound almost knocked the team out.
Ling Hao burst into tears, thinking that he was going to die for sure.
Just then, the leader of the worms spun around and ran back into the tunnel as fast as it could manage.
The other worms seemed bewildered, because they weren’t as sensitive as their leader.
However, it didn’t take them long to recover the same memory. The terror of the past haunted them once more.
