I'm just an assistant, I don't save people

Zhang Jinglue replied, "The team I'm following is the transport team. They're also city guards. Besides patrolling, they're also responsible for transporting important supplies and personnel. They definitely need to bring storage containers filled with supplies."

"So good? The United College even prepared some supplies for our trip."

You Mingli was a little excited.

Zhang Jinglie couldn't help but curse: "What are you dreaming about? Why should I give it to you?"

You Mingli was stunned: "Huh?"

"These are for the camp, not for you."

"Oh."

Zhang Jinglie took him into a wooden house and waited beside it.

After the team leader signs and gets the storage container, he will give one to each member of the team.

"We need to reach the designated campsite before six o'clock today. It will take a whole day to walk. Be sure to watch out for monsters along the way. The monsters here are very ferocious."

"Yes."

You Mingli put away the storage device and followed them out of the town and started hiking in the forest.

Zhang Jinglue said, "The further you go into the forest, the more primitive the towns and villages become. They are all small wooden houses and thatched houses, and the food is almost all communal meals and roasted monster meat.

Drink river or lake water. If you still have normal dry food and fruit in your storage container, try not to eat it and save it for half a month."

You Mingli asked in surprise, "Can we eat monster meat every day here?"

"correct."

You Mingli said, "I can't even get a few meals in the college cafeteria."

Zhang Jinglie said with a sly smile, "Then you must eat more. I'll give you my portion, and how about you give me your fruit and dry food?"

"sure."

Although You Mingli felt that Zhang Jinglie's smile was not right, since it was monster meat that could improve his cultivation, he agreed without hesitation.

Zhang Jinglie laughed in his heart. It turned out that tricking children was the most fun thing in the world.

Alas, I am still young and ignorant.

Zhang Jinglie's team of eight students was escorted by six city guards.

The shadow of the town behind them was quickly submerged in the woods. They advanced on blackened tree roots, and several students soon complained about the smell of rotting leaves in the forest.

It took four hours to walk.

All the students were a little tired, and someone suggested that they stop to rest before continuing.

I was scolded by a city guard.

At this moment, the team leader suddenly raised his hand and everyone stopped.

The five city guards began to form a formation.

Zhang Jinglie frowned and pulled You Mingli back a few steps.

Here comes a tough guy.

It’s difficult.

A few seconds later, the sound of branches breaking came from the bushes thirty meters away, and countless black tentacles stabbed towards the crowd from different angles.

"Ahhh!"

The two female students screamed when they saw the tentacles.

The top of the tentacle splits into four petals, revealing the serrated fangs inside, and venom oozes out from the gaps between the teeth.

At the same time, a row of densely packed eyes emerged from the upper part of the tentacles.

The leader and the city guards began to attack the defense. Two of their eyeballs were hit and suddenly exploded, splashing mucus onto the ground.

With a "sizzling" sound, the poison corroded the ground, forming a purple mist.

"It's poisonous! Everyone, stay away."

The leader said as he leaped and cut three vines.

But this time, what was sprayed out was not venom, but red parasitic seeds.

The seed drilled into the blood vessels in his arm, and earthworm-like wriggling marks immediately appeared under his skin.

"Su Yu, use the teleportation array to take them... away."

After saying that, the team leader injected attribute power into a talisman, and it exploded in all directions with a bang, forming an air wave that temporarily forced back the black tentacle on the left.

But it soon emerged from the decay again, this time even faster.

Su Yu waved his hands quickly.

No.

He had only used the teleportation array on himself and small objects before, but this time there were too many people.

The landing position cannot be controlled.

The other four city guards then stepped forward to block the monster's attack.

The monster attacked too quickly, and the seven students hurriedly gathered their power in a panic, trying to launch an attack to resist the monster.

But facing the powerful monsters, their strength seemed insignificant. Before they could even fully condense their attribute power, the leader was already dead.

They were just junior college students and had not received any training for the battlefield outside the South Gate, so they were terrified at the moment.

"It's terrible. We can't defeat this."

"Everyone, run."

Su Yu said angrily: "Don't move!"

The two students had just run for a while when they were besieged by several green flying insects, which bit their skin and pierced their intestines.

They didn't even have time to scream or call for help before they became corpses.

There is not only one monster in the forest.

This route has been cleared by the exploration team and the monster-killing team, and there are city guards leading the way, so it is safe all the way. Leaving the team now will give other monsters a chance.

You Mingli stared at all this in a daze, and suddenly felt at a loss.

Zhang Jinglie pulled him to avoid the attack of the tentacles, thinking that this kid didn't know how to use his skills to dodge at the critical moment.

What are you doing?

If there is a way to save your life, don't hide it.

This old man's soul, if not Lin Yan, does not have the ability to kill a ten-thousand-year-old monster.

The other four students stood frozen in place, their mouths opened but unable to scream, their vocal cords as if locked by fear.

The outlines of four human faces appeared in the tentacles' eyes. The next second, their bloody mouths opened wide, and only the sound of chewing echoed in the forest.

Su Yu finally found the landing place and immediately activated the teleportation array to transfer the remaining two students out first.

But at the moment the teleportation array was activated, the four city guards in front of him were eaten alive by monsters.

Su Yu's pupils trembled slightly, a chill rose in his heart, and a new formation formed under his feet as he left.

Having escaped from the attack range of the terrifying monster, You Mingli was still in shock.

"They just died like that?"

"Yeah." Zhang Jinglue said lightly, pulling him forward. They were still some distance away from the designated location.

In less than a day's journey, almost everyone was dead.

What on earth were they doing here?

You Mingli couldn't remember for a moment and said, "Zhang Jinglie, you saw how everyone died just now. I'm a little scared. If we encounter a monster like that again, we'll definitely die. Why don't we go back first? At least we can save our lives."

Zhang Jinglie subconsciously turned around and was about to scold You Mingli, but he saw the innocent eyes and childish face of the other party.

He quickly suppressed his anger, remembering that he was just a teenager at the moment.

You Mingli is just an ignorant little brat.

He tightened his lips, coughed twice to calm down, and said earnestly, "No, our mission is to transport supplies to the designated location. Then you and I will help out at the camp, perhaps treating patients or doing other things. No matter how many people die along the way, we must get to the camp, unless the entire team is wiped out along the way."

"Why? We can't deal with such a powerful demon with our abilities. Coming here is just suicide."

As You Mingli was speaking, Zhang Jinglie glanced at him and suddenly interrupted him, saying, "Then go back."

You Mingli was stunned and speechless.

Seeing Zhang Jinglie turn around and continue walking away, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
