281 The Resistance of the Cannon Fodder (2)
Jiang Ming nodded slightly. Even if these rats were weak, with such a large number, even a Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivator would find it difficult to fight against them.
Suddenly, a Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivator from the Spirit Silkworm Mountain turned back and appeared in the group of natives.
Many people’s eyes were filled with hope, thinking that he was coming to save them.
Jiang Ming and Wei Shouguang looked at each other and felt that sothing was not right.
!!
“Quickly run!” Wei Shouguang shouted. He suddenly increased his speed and ran forward with all his might.
So of the people beside them were also quick-witted people, and they quickly followed closely.
Behind them, spiritual energy suddenly burst out. The trees in the forest collapsed, and the mountain rocks fell down. A huge gully was plowed out, isolating dozens of figures behind.
Their path forward was blocked, and it would take a lot of ti to cross this rugged ravine. All of them looked at this scene in panic.
“Immortal cultivator, what are you doing?” one of the natives asked with a pale face.
“The Spirit Silkworm Mountain will rember your sacrifice!” the cultivator said coldly and left without looking back.
All the natives were dumbfounded, and then they felt a chill in their hearts. Those who were lucky enough not to be isolated behind the gully were even more terrified. They ran for their lives like crazy, afraid that they would be the last.
As for the people who were isolated by the gully, each of them had a look of despair on their faces. So tried to cross the gully, while so ran for their lives to the sides, trying to bypass the gully.
The rat tide arrived in an instant and was slightly disturbed by the gully. So of the rats even separated to the sides and chased after the fleeing natives.
Blood splashed, and screams ripped through the air. The tide of rats was scattered a little. Many of the rats were attracted by dozens of fresh corpses, which caused the speed of the tide of rats to slow down a little. However, there was still a vast tide of rats chasing after them, and the distance between them and the main force was getting closer and closer.
“These people…” Wei Shouguang’s eyes flickered with anger. He had always been expressionless. However, now he finally could not hold it in. “How useful can this tiny obstruction be? He casually threw down dozens of people! To them, we’re just cannon fodder. They’ll use us when they need to, and they won’t feel any heartache.”
“The weak are prey to the strong. Old Wei, you must always rember this principle.” Jiang Ming’s tone was calm.
“I will.” Wei Shouguang took a deep breath and said, “These ruins aren’t that simple. So ferocious beasts don’t like to eat mortals. They prefer powerful cultivators. Perhaps there will be an opportunity to reverse the situation.”
Suddenly, before they could completely shake off the rat tide behind them, there was a sudden change in the front.
A huge yellow worm, bigger than the thickest trees in the forest, rushed out of the ground. Its body was endless, and its front end was full of sharp teeth.
The worm smashed into the group of cultivators from the Spirit Silkworm Mountain, and a dazzling spiritual energy light burst out in front of it. With angry roars and blood flying, so figures flew high up and fell miserably into the distance. So cultivators even fell directly into the dense teeth of the worm and were swallowed into its stomach.
“That’s a Sand Spirit Worm. It likes to eat food with rich spiritual energy.” Wei Shouguang was overjoyed.
“Split up and run!”
A loud shout suddenly ca from the front.
The cultivators of the Spirit Silkworm Mountain imdiately split into several teams and ran in different directions. Many individual cultivators and martial artists behind them also ran for their lives.
Jiang Ming did not say a word. He chose a team and followed closely.
“Hehe, what a coincidence. Friend, this team is definitely the right choice.” Wei Shouguang’s rough voice sounded in ti, and he appeared beside Jiang Ming.
“The ship just now was steered by that guy.” Wei Shouguang pointed to a certain cultivator in front of him and whispered, “The most important person of the Spirit Silkworm Mountain must be in this team. It will be safer.”
‘Then why do you think I chose this team?’ Jiang Ming secretly rolled his eyes.
As the rat tide approached, so of the stragglers were devoured. The Sand Spirit Worm in front was even more excited, its thick body twisting and killing countless people.
In the chaos, Jiang Ming and Wei Shouguang followed one of the Spirit Silkworm Mountain’s teams and chose a direction to escape.
* * *
“Phew! That was f*cking close. I finally survived!”
Wei Shouguang, who was covered in blood, let out a long breath in the ruins of a dilapidated building. He spoke with lingering fear.
Jiang Ming’s body was also stained with blood. Of course, it was from the demonic beasts. It had been two days since they first encountered the rat tide.
It had to be said that the perseverance of these rats was simply terrifying. They chased them tirelessly. However, they encountered a large river along the way, which allowed them to get rid of them as they were afraid of water.
After crossing the river, they encountered so more demonic beasts. The stronger ones were dealt with by the cultivators of the Spirit Silkworm Mountain, while so low-tier demonic beasts caused quite a bit of trouble for Wei Shouguang and the other natives. There were many casualties.
