Chapter 2713: Protective Circle (4)
They all started retreating as if someone was hunting them.
They disappeared as fast as they had arrived.
Ling Hao was still screaming.
Shao Xiao grabbed his shoulder and shook him. “Stop! We’re safe! They’re gone!”
It took Ling Hao a while to quiet down because he had covered his ears with his hands. He raised his head and looked at Shao Xiao in bewilderment.
Gradually, his hearing recovered.
He could hear what Shao Xiao was saying.
“The worms are all gone! We’re safe! We’re going to live!” Shao Xiao repeated loudly.
Hearing this, Ling Hao looked around.
He remembered that they had been surrounded by thousands of Spirit Stone Worms.
…
But they were nowhere to be seen now.
Had it not been for the slime on the ground, he would think he had been dreaming.
Ling Hao asked, “Are they all gone?”
The others nodded. “Yes.”
Ling Hao said, “They stopped trying to eat us because we hid in the circle, is that it?”
The others nodded again. “Yes.”
Ling Hao said, “What kind of bird was that?”
The others were amazed as well.
Where did that bird come from?
The worms only smelled its p.o.o.p, and they were scared out of their wits…
“Why do I feel like that bird has dealt with these worms before?” Huo Shan said curiously.
“That’s impossible,” said Shao Xiao. “This mine has been buried underground for many years, but that bird is about the same age as Feng Wu. How can it have seen the worms before? I think it has something to do with its bloodline.”
“We owe her one again.” Ling Hao was crestfallen. “Actually, we owe the bird a favor this time…”
Shao Xiao smiled bitterly. “We should be used to it by now. We’ll repay her little by little, I guess.”
They admired Feng Wu even more.
That bird was definitely one of the legendary divine beasts, but Feng Wu was its master. What did that mean?
A divine beast had recognized Feng Wu’s ability!
If that was the case…
No other student in Imperial College was Feng Wu’s match!
Meanwhile…
Led by Little Phoenix, Feng Wu headed for where Shan Jingfei was.
Shan Jingfei and her friends had run into many difficulties along the way.
They entered the Secret Essence Mine before Feng Wu did, but they soon got lost.
There were countless tunnels underground, and they soon got lost. Moreover, they also ran into the Spirit Stone Worms from the very beginning.
At first, the worms appeared one at a time.
Shan Jingfei was glad.
She thought she would obtain enough crystal cores from these magical beasts.
Xuecheng Team was with her, and they killed those beasts easily.
However, things didn’t remain that way.
More and more worms appeared.
At first, they came in threes and fives. Then, there were 10, 20 and even 30 of them.
Xuecheng Team could still handle 30 worms.
However, there were soon hundreds of worms.
Shan Jingfei burst into tears when they were surrounded by countless worms.
