Chapter 423 - Conjuring Soldiers From Beans (3)
“I… I can’t make it anymore…” Liu Kai collapsed on the ground, panting heavily. The trio was already in the best physical condition of the entire bunch. Even so, they had supported the others during battle under Ji Fengyan’s command, thus using up a tremendous amount of energy.
Liu Kai’s words reflected the thoughts of everyone present. Nevertheless, as completely spent as they were, none of them dared to take off their World-Termination-Armours.
They subconsciously knew that they were being wholly supported by the armour. The moment they took it off, the severe after-effects and extreme weariness would send them into a deep slumber.
Passing out at such a dangerous spot would mean certain death.
Ji Fengyan looked at everyone collapsed on the ground—all of them half-dead, yet not daring to let down their guard completely. She quietly retrieved several bottles of elixirs from her Space Soul Jade and handed them to the youths.
“Thank you.”
“Thank you…”
Sounds of gratitude resonated across the quiet forest. This group of previously unruly youths had cast aside their arrogance. It was very clear that they owed their survival solely to Ji Fengyan.
Even now, some of them were still in a trance, feeling that all that happened was not real.
“Would those demons be coming again?” Zhou Bugui forced himself to sit up to look at Ji Fengyan.
Ji Fengyan replied, “Yes.”
That simple answer caused everyone’s hearts to rise up to their throats.
“Those demons were obviously targeting us. They would never give up the chance to kill so many Terminators. We must escape this place.” Ji Fengyan sat under a large tree, a blood-soaked cloth wrapped around her wrist. The massive blood lost had made her seem rather pale.
Ji Fengyan’s words sank everyone’s hearts.
The Terminators were the main combat force against the demons. They were still not considered Terminators as of today, and would be an easy kill. Annihilating them now would mean getting rid of a future menace to the demons.
If it were them, they would not let off their enemies that easily either.
“Didn’t tutor and the rest know of this? Letting us come to this forest even though it is so dangerous?” A youth said with a frown.
Ji Fengyan did not answer. She had also given much thought to this question.
There were a great number of demons here, and a level five azure ice giant. It was impossible to expect a bunch of newbies to handle that azure ice giant.
“Now isn’t the time to think of such things. We need to leave here as soon as possible.” Ji Fengyan took a deep breath.
The gathering of youths looked towards Ji Fengyan with humility.
She could have easily escaped on her own; they had been a burden to her.
“Don’t look at me with such gross expressions. Listen to me carefully if you want to live.” Ji Fengyan admonished her peers after realizing what they were thinking.
Everyone immediately nodded obediently.
“Regardless of whether the institute knows of the current situation, we must inform them as soon as possible.” With that, Ji Fengyan took out her sword from her Space Soul Jade. The youths were startled, fear and uneasiness circulating their minds.
“Liu Kai, I am sending you back to the institute on this sword. Bring backup as quickly as possible. Do you hear me?” Ji Fengyan directed her astonishing words at Liu Kai.
