Chapter 81 - INFERNAL CHASM (I) (2/2)

”Ah Jin, try not to fall.  Okay?” he heard his second brother whispered to him.

He looked up and saw the mischievous glint in his brother's eyes.  ”Of course I wouldn't.”

They were standing on the first flat peak.  Because of that, there's no monsters around them.  Giving them a brief time to breath.

”Before we reached the next peak, I'll cast a protection spell for all of us.  It would only last for 5 seconds, but that's more than enough to prepare us for the attacks of the incoming monsters,” Essaint said.

”Then I'll do the first attack,” Apricot said.  She's a Mage and in this group, she's the only one who could perform a widespread group attack.

”Apricot will walk first, I'll follow her.  Then Noctis and Jin could follow next.  Bronzed Leaf will be at the rear.  Is that okay?”

”It's no problem,” Luo Yan said.

”Then let's go.”

After Essaint's signal, Apricot started walking towards the narrow bridge.  Followed by Essaint.  Luo Yan gently pushed Luo Jin forward.  This way he could watch his back.  If he happened to trip or fall, Luo Yan could immediately be there to catch him.  Then he followed next.  He heard footsteps behind, meaning that Bronzed Leaf was already following.

They were already midway towards the next peak when Luo Yan thought of something.

He acted startled and then jumped back, causing him to bump into Bronzed Leaf.  Because he didn't expect it, Bronzed Leaf lost his balance.  Which caused him to almost fall over.  His eyes widened, his heart beating like a loud drum.  He really thought he would fall.  But then his arm was suddenly grabbed and he was able to maintain his balance again.

”I'm so sorry.  I thought the fire was going to reach me.  Are you okay?”

Bronzed Leaf lifted his head and saw the beautiful face of the white-haired elf full of worry.  But he couldn't appreciate it in the least.  He gritted his teeth in frustration and anger.  This little white face.  If he didn't know that this guy was a beginner, he'd really think that he'd done that on purpose.

”Is there something wrong?” called Essaint from the front.

”Nothing!” Bronzed Leaf shouted angrily.

He swore after this dungeon raid, he'd make this little white face pay.

Luo Yan turned around and continued walking.  He couldn't help the grin that crossed his face.  How could he just let this Bronzed Leaf fall?  His game avatar dying here would be too easy for him.  Luo Yan just wanted to see his scared expression a little bit.

Ah, these guys were really bringing his bad side.  But he must admit, this was really fun.  Kind of reminded him of the old days.
