Chapter 2524: Chapter 2525: Ignore Them
Everyone needs to stick together; there’s a chance we might stand a chance against the demons. But if we split up, won’t we be crushed one by one?
Those are demons, not mere beasts. Do they think these creatures have no brains? Thinking they would chase only one team while others escape unharmed—what a beautiful thought indeed.
He dared to guarantee, once they separated, those demons would devour every squad member until not a bone fragment remained.
That’s what demons are—the demons of the Sea-wide Forest!
"If anyone’s afraid of dying, leave now and quit being a nuisance."
He said fiercely to those who were cowardly, willing to push danger onto others.
Before entering the Sea-wide Forest, each one of them was squabbling for the herbs and alchemy materials within, eager to get in.
But now, the demons haven’t even appeared yet, and just hearing their roars was enough to terrify them completely.
If they had the guts, they wouldn’t have come in here, so why bother?
"Ugh!"
Those who showed fear, ready to flee, upon hearing his words, instantly looked uncomfortable.
"Why are you speaking like this? We were just briefly panicked and didn’t react in time. Is it necessary to make us look so bad? Everyone entered the Sea-wide Forest for the sake of the city lord’s wife, not as if you’re special."
"Exactly, with so many demonic roars, it’s only natural to be frightened, what’s your intention?"
"I bet he’s just trying to show off in front of Commander Lin, huh? Haha, Commander Lin isn’t even here, only his guards, what’s the point of showing off?"
The surrounding people started mocking that captain.
They despised those types the most, those who inwardly felt fear but pretended otherwise, who were they trying to scare?
"You all..."
The teammates beside the man were fuming, eyes glaring at the others.
Did the captain say anything wrong? Clearly, it was those people who were scared. The captain only spoke the truth, how was that wrong?
"Zhang Lie, ignore them."
The man saw his teammates about to argue back and immediately stopped him.
The demonic roars were getting closer, soon those creatures would be upon them, yet these people had time to argue whether he was currying favor with Commander Lin?
They weren’t worth bothering with; what mattered was the situation at hand.
"Everyone, prepare to face the enemy."
"Zimo, that squad isn’t half bad, maybe we should consider collaborating with them," on the other side, Lin Caisang rubbed her chin, speaking to Sui Zimo beside her.
"Sangsang, do we really need to cooperate with others?"
Before Sui Zimo could respond, Lin Changhong interjected, asking his sister.
Even though that man looked righteous, just because he hadn’t come over to group with them showed he wasn’t the best partner.
"Hmm?"
Lin Caisang hesitated for a bit, then turned her head to look at her brother.
"Well... that makes sense."
She nodded, hearing the increasing demonic roars, feeling the ever-stronger tremors underfoot.
"Then, big brother, you should get ready to face the enemy."
"Do you even need to say, I’ve been ready."
Lin Changhong proudly lifted his chin, believing it was natural for him and Yue Chushui to be the ones to take on the enemy.
