âBoom!â
As soon as Hai Yueâs voice fell, a thunderous sound exploded. Many people were so frightened that they suddenly quivered.
Then, everyone turned to look at the source of the voice, and their expressions changed.
At the point where the sky and the ground met, a storm of sand stirred up, covering the sky like dark clouds.
Everyoneâs faces changed and turned pale.
âRumble!â
Before everyone could catch their breath, another thunderous sound rang out behind them. The sky was filled with sand and dust again, rolling like dark clouds covering the earth.
Two waves of monsters, as numerous as the hair on a cow, gathered toward them like lightning.
The surging aura of monsters hit him in the face. Lu Benwei and the others were caught in the middle.
âWhat do we do?â
Some people were so scared that they fell to the ground, their faces pale.
âSo many monsters! So terrifying!â
âMommy, I want to go homeâ¦â
The despairing will to die shrouded everyoneâs head.
However, at this moment, the two waves of monster armies suddenly stopped advancing. Everyone was confused.
Some people tried to break out of the encirclement, but before they could get close, their lives were taken by a ball of demonic qi.
Everyone was shocked and began to guess.
âWhat are they doing?â
âTheyâre not attacking us, and theyâre not letting us out either. What the hell is the monster army doing? â
Lu Benwei narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
âIâm guessing theyâre waiting,â he said as he had an idea.
âWhy are they waiting?â Everyone gathered around.
Lu Benwei continued, âMost of the monsters will become stronger at night. To kill us in one fell swoop, they would wait until night to attack. Thatâs their best choice. The longer we wait here, the more desperate we feel. When they attack, weâll be like a pile of loose sand.â
Everyoneâs faces turned serious when they heard this.
âLittle Brother, what do you think we should do?â
âWeâre like a plate of loose sand, each with his own thoughts,â Lu Benwei said in a deep voice, âNow that the monster army is right in front of us, weâll die if we act on our own. We can only survive if we work together and break out of the encirclement.
Lu Benwei paused and glanced at Gao Renchao and the people from the Hunter Special Combat Class.
âGao Renchao, I have no intention of fighting with you. This is a matter of life and death. I hope you can let go of your prejudice against me.â
Then, Lu Benwei cast a Minor Healing on Mo Tianyu. His injuries recovered instantly.
The others also tried to persuade him. âYeah, you two are classmates. Whatâs there to feel bad about?â
âAnd this little brother has also cured your friendâs injury. Everyone should be united now.â
The corners of Gao Renchaoâs mouth twitched, and he clenched his teeth so hard that they made cracking sounds. With so many people watching, he really could not find trouble with Lu Benwei.
Gao Renchao snorted coldly and crossed his arms in front of his chest. âAlright, weâll do as you say. Weâll break out of this encirclement together.â
Seeing that Gao Renchao had temporarily reconciled with Lu Benwei, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Soon, someone among them suggested, âEveryone, if we break out of the encirclement by force, Iâm afraid weâll suffer heavy casualties. We should think of a way to minimize our losses.â
After that, everyone fell into deep thought.
Someone suggested, âWhy donât you tell us your class, talent, and combat power first? This way, we can better discuss our tactics.
âIâll tell you first. My name is Zhang Wu, and Iâm a warrior. Iâm level 34!â
âIâm Song San. Iâm a wizard, level 31!â
â¦
âSuper expert, Earth Shaker, level 29!â Gao Renchao said coldly.
When everyone heard this, they immediately exclaimed, âItâs a level-29 Earth Shaker. No wonder he came from the Hunter Special Combat Class of Zhejiang Hunter University.â
âYouâre so young and promising. With the help of such a powerful person, we have a higher chance of breaking through the siege.â
Gao Renchao listened to everyoneâs exclamations and looked at Lu Benwei with a mocking expression.
Lu Benwei turned a blind eye and said indifferently, âIâm Lu Benwei, magician, level 23. If you all have a scroll that can increase your abilities, I might be able to lead the team to break out of this encirclement.â
Lu Benwei knew that this sentence was not appropriate, but the situation was critical.
More than half of the people had already finished introducing their classes. Lu Benwei found a serious problem. That was that the team was lacking supporters! There were about 50 to 60 of them, but only four to five of them were supporters.
Even though Lu Benwei had the system, which was a heaven-defying existence to protect him, he was still a little overwhelmed when he faced the monster army. After weighing the pros and cons, he forced himself to beg for a skill scroll that could increase his abilities.
It was just as he had expected. Everyoneâs expression changed when they heard his request.
âYou? magician? You want a skill scroll that can increase your abilities?â
Some of them bit their lips so hard that they turned purple, trying their best to hold back their laughter.
âI had a good impression of you at first, but I didnât expect you to be a magician.â
âLetâs not talk about whether or not everyone has a skill scroll that increases your ability. But youâre a magician, a waste that was born to learn skills. How can you comprehend a skill in such a short time?â
Lu Benwei listened to everyoneâs banter and said patiently, âPlease believe me.â
âI might as well believe that the monster army will retreat on their own,â someone continued to mock.
More and more people looked at Lu Benwei in disdain.
At this moment, Gao Renchao suddenly walked over.
âLu Benwei, Iâm willing to give you a skill scroll to increase your abilities as a thank you gift for curing Mo Tianyuâs injuries.â
He took out a skill scroll and handed it to Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei was slightly surprised, thinking, âHow did Gao Renchao suddenly turn over a new leaf?â
Out of courtesy, Lu Benwei stretched out his hand and said, âThank you.â
Before he could finish, he heard a âpaâ sound. The skill scroll fell to the ground.
Gao Renchaoâs expression suddenly turned into one of mockery. He said pretentiously, âHow could you be so careless?â
âGao Renchao, whatâs the point of doing this?â Lu Benwei frowned.
âWhat? Iâve let bygones be bygones and give you a skill scroll, but you donât like it?â Gao Renchao suddenly raised his voice.
It immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Gao Renchao continued to shout, âLu Benwei, Iâm kind enough to give you a scroll to increase your skill. Weâre classmates. Itâll give you more protection when you break out of the encirclement. Itâs fine if you donât like it, but why did you throw it on the ground?â
The people around also started to blame Lu Benwei.
âYou magician, how can you not know whatâs good for you?â
âThis is a skill scroll given to you by an Earth Shaker. How can it be bad?â
âYou just said that you wanted a skill scroll. Now, this little brother is giving it to you, but you embarrass him in public.â
All the people who did not know the truth pointed their fingers at Lu Benwei.
At the same time, his words were filled with flattery toward an expert.
