Before the team entered the inner city, they already felt that the atmosphere here was a little strange. The city gate was tightly shut, and there were all kinds of magic traps placed outside the gate. There were also poplar branches stuck in the sand, the sharpened ends facing outside the city.
Gage was surprised. "We've only been out for three or four days. How did this happen?"
Lolo frowned. "I'm afraid something happened in the city."
When they were about half a mile away from the city gate, they triggered the first alarm. Almost at the same time, Davis' vigilant voice came from behind the gate. "Who's there?! Don't go any further, or we'll attack you. "
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this. Was this guy crazy? A few days ago, they were eating together, talking and laughing. Now, he was full of hostility. What did he want?
Many people in the team were dissatisfied. They risked their lives to search for the missing teachers and students outside, found the monster's lair, and obtained extremely important information. Meanwhile, the cowards in the inner city were just hiding on the other side of the gate. How dare they welcome the heroes like them in such a way?
Soon, someone in the team shouted, "Open the gate, open the gate. We have something urgent to talk to Teacher Xavier. Where's Senior Barton? You can ask him to come out first."
"Senior Barton won't see you." Davis shook his head. His words immediately angered more people, but before they could get angry, they heard another voice from the other side of the gate. "Senior Barton was seriously injured and has been in a coma for two days."
Senior Barton was injured? Everyone outside the city was stunned when they heard this. When they thought of the people in the inner city who looked as if they were facing a great enemy, they thought of a certain possibility and could not help but gasp. The monster hadn't returned to its lair for so long. Could it be that it came to the inner city?
Davis said coldly on the other side of the wall, "Now, each of you say something. I need to confirm your identity."
Even though everyone was unhappy to hear this, they still carried out Davis' strange request after realizing that something might have happened in the city. After a long while, the city gate finally opened slowly.
Two nights ago, we were attacked by a group of strange insects. These insects can parasitize human bodies and control their hosts. The other four members of the team I joined were all infected by these insects. Only I escaped after being hit by a stone in the sandstorm. But the night before yesterday, when I was following Captain Ron and Lucy, I saw insects crawling out of their bodies … "At this point, Davis could not help but shiver, as if recalling that creepy scene again.
"I covered my mouth and didn't dare to make a sound. I stumbled back to the camp, wanting to warn the others. Just as I was about to return to my sleeping place, I saw the other two members of our team at the end of the road. They looked at me coldly under the moonlight. You don't know how scary those eyes were. They weren't human eyes at all. I was scared out of my wits when they looked at me. All I could do was turn around and run back, shouting for help as I ran."
"Fortunately, I was already very close to the camp. Many people, including Senior Barton, were awakened by my cry for help. So those two things only chased me for two steps before they stopped and stood still. When Senior Barton and his men approached them, their bodies suddenly exploded from the middle, and two more insects came out."
This scene was not unfamiliar to the people who had returned from outside the city. The bug in Chavier's body had come out in the same way, and it had almost taken Joey's life.
Davis continued, "Fortunately, Senior Barton reacted quickly. He used his longsword to hit one of the insects, but the others were not as skilled as him. Those insects seemed to be very intelligent. They had stayed in the camp for a long time, and they knew everyone's strength. Therefore, before they attacked, they had already divided the work. One of them stalled Senior Barton, and the other took the opportunity to attack a girl named Angela behind Senior Barton. Angela was a magician, and her throat was bitten before she could even start chanting. After that, the insect didn't stop and attacked another magician. Senior Barton turned around to help, but that cunning insect suddenly turned around and attacked Senior Barton with its companion. Senior Barton was caught off guard, and his sternum was crushed. He was seriously injured on the spot. Then, the two insects prepared to attack the rest of the people in the camp." "I wanted to run back to help, but something even more terrible happened.
"I wanted to run back to help, but at that moment, something even worse happened. I saw Ron and Lucy staggering towards me from the other end of the street. Just when I thought I was going to die, Teacher Xavier miraculously appeared in the camp. He burned the insects with one move, then he put away his staff and walked towards me. I think he wanted to ask me about the origin of the insects, but after taking two steps, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly released an ice shield for himself at lightning speed. The next moment, a freshman Thief named Brador suddenly rushed towards Teacher Xavier. The thick ice shield in front of Teacher Xavier only lasted for less than half a second before it was torn apart by Brador. It's hard to imagine that a human body could have such violent power. He despicably sneak attacked Teacher Xavier, but Teacher Xavier was very decisive. He immediately summoned an incomparably terrifying lightning and swallowed both of them."
"When the lightning dissipated, Brador was already gone. All that was left was a scorched black monster on the ground. Teacher Xavier's condition didn't look too good either. His lower abdomen was bleeding. Although he had a magic device to help him block most of the damage, the monster still hurt him. At this point, we all thought this nightmare was finally over. However, our joy only lasted for less than half a minute. After that, we saw the monster's toes twitch. Then, its body twitched as well. It quickly climbed up from the ground and rushed into the night before the others could surround it. Teacher Xavier stopped us from chasing it. He said that we were no match for it. After that, he left behind a magic formation and said that he had to take care of the injury. He hasn't returned yet. Everyone in the camp is very worried."
The amount of information revealed in Davis' words was considerable. Everyone was shocked to hear that Teacher Xavier had fought with the monster and was injured. Originally, everyone had a high opinion of the monster's strength, but they didn't expect it to be even more terrifying than they had imagined.
Now that Teacher Xavier, the strongest student in the freshmen arena, was injured, who could stop the monster when it came back? No wonder the students in the inner city were on high alert.
Lolo, on the other hand, was concerned about the bugs. She asked Rob, "Didn't you say that its organs don't have a digestive system? It needs a lot of nutrients to grow, and it can't get rid of the nutrient solution? What's going on with Davis' team? "
