If we encounter those Undead that we can't handle, I'll have to rely on you all.
The Captain of the regular squad said with a smile to Fei Wen.
"Sure, no problem," Fei Wen replied, lifting his head high, his face full of pride as if it were only natural.
The Captain chuckled awkwardly and then signaled for ten squads to enter the sewage pipeline.
"Hmph."
Fei Wen glanced back, letting out a disdainful snort, crossing his arms and striding forward, leaving his teammates far behind.
Seeing this, everyone felt a bit awkward. Taozi quickly chimed in, "That's just how he is; just ignore him."
Ye Wumeng nodded, indicating that he wasn't too bothered by it.
Aside from Fei Wen, the other teammates seemed reliable, and Ye Wumeng had checked their Combat Power through the system prompt; they were all above average, which made them dependable.
But what about Fei Wen?
His Combat Power was only...? How did he become the leader of this Elite Squad?
Ye Wumeng couldn't understand but didn't want to interfere with their dynamics; he just wanted to keep to himself.
Following the main squad into the sewage pipeline, Ye Wumeng frowned slightly.
The darkness in the pipeline was thick and heavy, as if it could swallow all light. The weak beams from the flashlights held by each team member seemed utterly powerless, barely illuminating a small area around them while the rest remained an unfathomable blackness.
The walls of the pipeline were damp and emitted a nauseating stench of decay. Slime slowly dripped from the walls, and the sound of water dripping echoed in the silence like whispers of some unknown entity lurking in the dark.
Occasionally, groups of Corpse Rats scurried through the sewage, their eyes glinting with an eerie light as they emitted high-pitched squeaks.
However, these team members were quite capable; they seemed very familiar with dealing with Corpse Rats. They formed a strange formation that surrounded the Corpse Rats, leaving them no chance to fight back.
Impressive!
Ye Wumeng couldn't help but sigh slightly. He remembered that his first opponent upon arriving in this realm had also been a Corpse Rat, which had nearly cost him his life.
Haha, teams like theirs from Bonfire Group were all elites who had survived through countless hardships; this was something they had grown accustomed to.
A voice behind Ye Wumeng interrupted his thoughts—Lei Huo's voice—refreshing Ye Wumeng's impression of them.
Hehe, we are the elite among elites. Let me tell you, there are only three teams in the entire Bonfire Group like ours, the Elite Squad.
Peach straightened her back, leading the way at the front of the team. Unfortunately, she was facing away from Ye Wumeng and couldn't see her expression.
Even though we are elites, we still rank at the bottom among the three teams.
Wen Xi spoke up weakly, her head lowered, and it seemed her mood was a bit downcast.
"Wen Xi, don’t say that. At least we are still elites, right?" Peach comforted her.
Hmph, if it weren't for you all, would we really be at the bottom? What a bunch of useless people.
In the middle of the team, Fei Wen crossed her arms, her face filled with disdain as her gaze drifted toward Ye Wumeng with evident contempt.
The previously lively atmosphere immediately dropped to freezing point, and silence enveloped them, leaving Ye Wumeng feeling somewhat helpless.
Since the captain doesn’t welcome me, I’ll just leave after this mission. Rather than clash with him, it’s better to withdraw early; there’s no need to torture myself.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted ahead. The orderly formation of the team began to break down, accompanied by several cries of distress.
It’s the Corpse Beetles! Call for the Elite Squad!
Hurry! We can’t hold them off!
In the team, the Captain quickly pulled out a black walkie-talkie from his waist and urgently called out.
"Captain Fei Wen! There are Corpse Beetles at our location! We need reinforcements from the Elite Squad!"
Hmph, you can’t even handle this little problem? What a bunch of useless people.
Fei Wen scoffed and abruptly cut off the walkie-talkie communication. She then ordered her teammates beside her.
"Get over there and deal with those guys! Don’t keep me waiting too long!"
Tch, so arrogant.
Ye Wumeng silently complained to herself before quickly following Peach and the others toward their direction.
Ah!
As the moment approached, Ye Wumeng heard a piercing scream and immediately turned towards the source of the sound.
There, he saw a pitch-black creature, roughly the size of a lion, with two scissor-like mandibles at its front. It was gripping the waist of a Bonfire Group member with its sharp jaws. Due to the forceful tearing, two massive wounds had opened up where it was clamped, and blood was gushing out in horrifying quantities.
Fortunately, this Corpse Beetle did not possess Corpse Poison; otherwise, things would have been much worse. However, if no action was taken, that person would likely not survive!
"Peach Sister, can you drive away that beetle and give this vial of medicine to him?" Ye Wumeng pulled a red vial from his pocket and handed it to Peach.
His strength was far inferior to theirs, and he did not want to reveal his abilities just yet. If he performed too well, it would complicate his withdrawal from the group later.
Peach took the vial from Ye Wumeng and nodded. She quickly dashed towards the injured man, drawing a heavy sword from behind her. Gripping the hilt with both hands, she thrust the sword downwards with great force towards the Corpse Beetle.
Crack! Thud!
It was as if she had pierced through a chestnut; once she broke through the hard outer shell, it became much easier. It seemed that her strength had caused the Corpse Beetle to burst forth with thick green fluid.
Hiss!
The Corpse Beetle emitted a terrible screech as its grip on the man's waist weakened, and its upright body began to tremble slightly.
Hmph!
Seeing that the Corpse Beetle still had some fight left in it, Peach stomped hard on its back!
Crack!
Finally succumbing to Peach's overwhelming power, the Corpse Beetle's legs buckled, and it collapsed onto the ground.
With a swift motion, Peach pulled out her heavy sword and delivered a final blow to end the life of the Corpse Beetle.
"Ugh!"
The Bonfire Group member was finally saved, but due to his severe injuries and exhaustion, he collapsed onto the ground. Given his condition, it seemed he wouldn't last much longer.
Seeing this, Peach rushed to him. One hand pinched his face while she used her teeth to open the vial and poured its contents directly into his mouth.
