Chapter 2711 - Protective Circle (2)

Feng Wu dashed off immediately after that.

Ling Hao sat on a rock, crestfallen.

Shao Xiao didn’t seem very happy either.

Ling Hao said, “She just left us here! Are we not useful at all? Will we just cause her more trouble? I don’t believe it!”

Shao Xiao said, “Haven’t we been a burden to Feng Wu all along?”

Ling Hao glared at him.

Shao Xiao shrugged. “Can you give me an example when we weren’t a burden?”

Ling Hao was speechless.

Just then —

“Watch out!” Huo Shan jumped to his feet when he saw a big, fat Spirit Stone Worm crawl into sight.

They had seen from the big screen how terrifying they were.

The worms might look soft, chubby and harmless, but their teeth were sharp enough to tear one to pieces.

These worms ate spiritual stones. Could they be harmless?

“Let’s kill it!” Ling Hao lashed out at the worm. “If I’m correct, it’s a Class B magical beast at its peak, right?”

Wang Zhi did some calculations and nodded. “That’s right. By the academy’s standard, its crystal core is at that level.”

Ling Hao was thrilled. “Guys, let’s take its crystal core! Doesn’t Feng Wu want to be first? Let’s give her a hand!”

Wang Zhi found his suggestion idiotic. “How many worms do you think you can kill? Get back here.”

Ling Hao shook his head. “That ugly little bird drew a circle and pooped in it. Do you seriously think it can protect us? If that’s the case, why do we bother to cultivate at all?”

Huo Shan said, “I have faith in Feng Wu. If she says it’ll work, then it’ll work. However, that’s only the last resort. I’m curious to find out how powerful the Spirit Stone Worms are. Ling Hao, shall we do it together?”

Ling Hao said, “Good idea!”

As it turned out, the Spirit Stone Worm was as formidable as it was said to be.

These magical beasts had lived in these underground tunnels for years and fed on spiritual stones.

Thump!

The two of them couldn’t kill that worm. In the end, Shao Xiao and Wang Zhi had to give them a hand.

“Phew…” Ling Hao heaved a sigh. “Gosh, it was so hard to kill, and that was only one worm…”

Huo Shan said, “There can’t be a lot of them. Trust me…”

However, he paled before he could finish the sentence.

He stared at the opening of the tunnel.

What was wrong?

The others were scared out of their wits when they looked in that direction.

Spirit Stone Worms!

There were so many of them!

More than they could count!

Everywhere they looked, there were big, fat Spirit Stone Worms that were each the size of a grown man!

“Holy crap…”

“OMG…”

“No way!”

They were all alarmed.

That was crazy!

How could there be so many of them?

Had they caught the scent of human flesh and followed it here?

“What should we do now?” Ling Hao was as white as a sheet.
