291 An Eerie Water Spider (1/2)

…

”Hold on for a little longer, just a little longer, it's about to turn green!”

”Damn it, more of them are coming, if we don't leave now, we're going to turn into their dinner!”

”It's green, it's green!”

”Let's go, quick!”

The group was soaked in sweat as they hurriedly fled the place.

A few moments later, packs of giant green lizards crawled out from the swampy area and overran the street.

They let out cries into the sky as the group of magicians cast spells to escape from the place safely.

Luckily, they had come up with an escape route before they carried out the plan. Otherwise, they would have found themselves stuck between the giant lizards by now.

”Holy crap, we are in such a miserable state, even though we've only completed one inspection point. Doesn't that mean half of us will end up dead if we finish the whole mission?” Luo Song grumbled while panting heavily.

”We're lacking strong firepower since Mo Fan isn't here. It's more of a burden for us to fight against the beasts,” Peng Liang subconsciously blurted out.

In terms of firepower, even Mu Ningxue was incomparable to Mo Fan. Both his Lightning and Fire Elements were considered the most violent Elements, not to mention that they were both enhanced with Soul Seeds. He could easily wipe out a whole pack of Servant-class demon beasts with a few Intermediate Spells.

”Humph, that guy would only get us into trouble. He even claims that he could inspect the places on his own. I believe he's going to come back empty-handed soon,” Liao Mingxuan retorted.

They had spent two days designing their plan and executing it, since the device itself would attract certain demon beasts to them. Therefore, some of them would have to guard the device for three hours. It was almost impossible without a team.

”Indeed, maybe he's already dead.” Luo Song replied with a nod. He earnestly hoped that was the case. How lucky was that son of a bitch, not only did he have Double Innate Elements, he even had two Soul Seeds!

”Sorry to disappoint you, but my watch is telling me that he's heading straight in our direction,” Zhao Manting said.

They each had a localizer in their watches, which would point in the direction of the same watch and vaguely display the distance between them.

Zhao Manting had been keeping an eye out on his watch all the time, and discovered that Mo Fan had started coming toward them an hour ago...

He was moving fairly quickly, as if he weren't even trying to hide from the beasts roaming in the city. He was moving toward the group in a straight line.

Zhao Manting could not help but wonder if Mo Fan's Spirit Wolf had evolved successfully. Otherwise, how could he move at such so fast, in such a daring manner?

The group managed to find a resting spot. It was a relatively well-preserved church.

The construction of the church was done with considerations for its maintenance as it aged. As a result, the building material used prevented any plant from growing on its walls, which somehow preserved it completely as the city was abandoned. A brief cleaning was enough to prepare the place as a temporary base for the group.
