250 Small Earth Dragon Snake Ambush, Hatred of the Participating New Students (1)

The time was 8 p.m. sharp. What was the meaning of Jiang Shangbai choosing such a time to enter the tower?

Lu Yan looked at Jiang Shangbai in front of him and felt that Jiang Shangbai’s footsteps were very stable and his body was also very relaxed. He did not have the nervousness of exploring an unknown place at all. It was completely different from the tense bodies of the other participating new students at the side.

It was a little too leisurely.

At this moment, Jiang Shangbai suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Yan. “Lu Yan, you have a lot of undead. Let some out to explore the surroundings. This way, it will be safer.”

Hearing Jiang Shangbai’s words, the gazes of the surrounding participating new students landed on Lu Yan in unison, their eyes filled with anticipation.

If Lu Yan’s undead were around to help investigate the dangerous situation, they would indeed be much safer.

Bai Miao was about to speak when Lu Yan stopped her. Then, he looked at Jiang Shangbai and nodded. “Alright.”

A large number of undead began to appear beside Lu Yan. Then, they spread out and investigated the surrounding area.

Bai Miao frowned and said, “This guy clearly doesn’t have good intentions and wants to use this method to consume your undead.”

Lu Yan smiled and said, “I originally wanted to use the undead to investigate the surrounding situation anyway. I won’t be at ease if Jiang Shangbai is the only one who knows about everything.”

Before entering the tower, Lu Yan had already secretly released many undead to investigate the surroundings. He could not lose the initiative.

Bai Miao nodded when she heard this and continued to follow the team forward.

Lu Yan and the others entered from the main entrance of this tower. First, they had to pass through a long pitch-black passageway.

The surroundings lit up. Every participating new student held an emergency lamp and began to illuminate the surroundings to investigate the situation.

No one spoke. There were only muffled footsteps around, making everyone’s mood even heavier.

The surrounding undead were also constantly reporting the situation to Lu Yan. Currently, there was no danger in the surroundings.

Not long after Lu Yan and the others entered the tunnel that led to the interior of the tower, pitch-black dragon snakes slowly spread out from the surrounding buildings.

These Earth Dragon Snakes’ bodies were extremely thick. They were more than three times larger than when they were released from the temple-like building previously. Every one of them seemed to be a huge object.

Black patterns lit up on the bodies of these Earth Dragon Snakes. A faint light revealed on them, like inscriptions that covered the entire body of the Earth Dragon Snake.

If Lu Yan was here, he would definitely be able to discover that the aura of these Earth Dragon Snakes was several times richer than the Earth Dragon Snakes he had encountered previously. Every one of them had an epic level aura.

These Earth Dragon Snakes arrived beside the tower, and the black patterns on their bodies lit up.

Then, a portion of the bodies of these Earth Dragon Snakes began to disintegrate, and their huge bodies instantly weakened a lot.

Their disintegrating bodies transformed into small Earth Dragon Snakes that quickly rushed into the tower passageway in front of them.

These huge Earth Dragon Snakes quickly climbed up their bodies and began to climb along the tower in front of them, as if they wanted to reach the top of the tower in this way.

From afar, one could clearly see that on the tallest building in this abandoned city, the bodies of several huge creatures were slowly moving towards the top. It was very terrifying.

At this moment, in the corridor of the tower, Lu Yan suddenly frowned and stopped.

When Bai Miao and the others saw Lu Yan stop, they stopped. In front, Jiang Shangbai felt the team stop and turned to look at Lu Yan. “What’s wrong? Why have you stopped?”

Lu Yan looked at Jiang Shangbai and slowly said, “I’ve lost contact with one of my undead on the right rear.”

Hearing Lu Yan’s words, the expressions of the surrounding university new students became nervous.

After all, Lu Yan’s undead were not weak. For Lu Yan to directly lose contact with his undead, it seemed that this tunnel was dangerous.

Jiang Shangbai also frowned when he heard this. Then, he said, “Let’s continue forward. Lu Yan, please send more undead to defend the surroundings. It’s better for the undead to be destroyed than for us new students to encounter danger.”

The surrounding new students from the universities also nodded in agreement.

“That’s right. Lu Yan, you have so many undead. It’s fine to have fewer. We’re all top ten new students of the various universities. It’s a huge loss to lose even one.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Lu Yan, send more undead so that we can pass through here safely.”

“That’s right. If we can get out safely, I’ll definitely report it to the school and get them to give you some resources as compensation.”

If they could choose to not face danger themselves, who would want to face danger alone?

Hearing the surrounding new students’ words, Lu Yan did not say anything. A large number of undead surged out. The undead knights led the team and directly headed towards the place where the undead disappeared just now.

Seeing a large number of undead surge out from the surroundings, the surrounding university new students heaved a sigh of relief.

However, they then realized that something was wrong.

Lu Yan directly sent the surrounding undead out to investigate the place where the undead had disappeared. He did not leave any undead guards around.

The surrounding undead were fewer than before. Moreover, they were gathered around Lu Yan and the others.

The expressions of the surrounding university new students changed. Some university new students could not help but say, “Lu Yan, you don’t have to let the undead investigate. Just let the undead guard beside us.”

“That’s right. The situation here is unknown now. What if the place we investigate is dangerous? This way, more of your undead will die. We’re just trying to make you lose fewer undead by having them guard our surroundings.”

“That’s right. Our first goal now is to find the divine light power Jiang Shangbai sensed. That’s the most important.”

Hearing the surrounding new students’ words, Lu Yan’s expression did not change at all, nor did he summon the undead he had sent out.

“Found it!”

Lu Yan’s gaze landed on the right rear of the team. The undead knights and undead swordsmen began to attack.

Hisses sounded, making Lu Yan frown.

It was the Earth Dragon Snake!

After coming into contact with the Earth Dragon Snake a few times, Lu Yan was very sensitive to the Earth Dragon Snake’s noise.

The Earth Dragon Snake had already arrived?

This made Lu Yan frown even more.

Previously, when many signal flares rose from the edge of the Abandoned City, Lu Yan guessed that the Earth Dragon Snakes might be there. Now, it seemed that the Earth Dragon Snakes were not causing trouble at the edge of the Abandoned City.

Since they were here, what was going on with the participating new students who had encountered danger at the edge of the abandoned city?

Lu Yan did not have time to think carefully. As the cries sounded, Earth Dragon Snakes appeared in the surroundings and quickly rushed towards Lu Yan and the others.

It was not only the back, but even many Earth Dragon Snakes appeared in front of the team.

Lu Yan’s undead blocked these Earth Dragon Snakes and began to kill them.

Lu Yan also quickly rushed over. Bai Miao and the others naturally followed closely behind Lu Yan.

Soon, Lu Yan saw a large number of Earth Dragon Snakes in front of him, but the appearance of these Earth Dragon Snakes made Lu Yan frown even more.

These were very small Earth Dragon Snakes!

They were about a third the size of the Earth Dragon Snakes he had encountered previously and looked somewhat exquisite.

However, the aura coming from them was very huge and their combat strength was not ordinary. Ordinary undead were not a match at all. Only the undead of the Netherworld King’s Intimidation could barely suppress them.

It was somewhat strange.

In the team in front, facing the sudden large number of Earth Dragon Snakes, the surrounding participating new students directly panicked.

Everyone began to attack these Earth Dragon Snakes.

A participating new student faced the attack of the Earth Dragon Snake and retreated step by step. Just as he was about to be bitten by the Earth Dragon Snake in front of him, a white light flickered from the side before a blade was directly slashed onto the Earth Dragon Snake’s body.

With just one attack, the other party slashed this Earth Dragon Snake into two. The white light also carried a burning power and completely killed the two parts of the Earth Dragon Snake’s body that were still twisting.

This participating new student looked at Jiang Shangbai, who had appeared in front of him, and said gratefully, “Thank you.”

Jiang Shangbai smiled at him and continued to walk to the side to help the surrounding new students resist the Earth Dragon Snake.

On Lu Yan’s side, the surrounding Earth Dragon Snakes were quickly destroyed. Although these Earth Dragon Snakes were not weak, they were still unable to cause any trouble under Lu Yan’s undead army.

A large number of Earth Dragon Snakes were killed, but without exception, these Earth Dragon Snakes did not leave behind any corpses. They all transformed into black fog that slowly flowed in the tunnel before floating towards the entrance Lu Yan and the others had entered.

Looking at this black fog, Lu Yan frowned and got some necromancers to release undead magic. However, when it landed on this black fog, it directly passed through, as if this was ordinary black fog.

At this moment, Jiang Shangbai had also finished killing the surrounding Earth Dragon Snakes.

A large portion of the participating new students looked at Jiang Shangbai gratefully.

Just now, Jiang Shangbai was simply like a god that had descended to the mortal world. Every time a participating new student encountered danger, he would appear in time and save them from the Earth Dragon Snake’s mouth.

After a ten-minute battle, many participating new students had a huge favorable impression of Jiang Shangbai.

At this moment, Lu Yan slowly returned with the surrounding undead, Bai Miao, and the others.

Looking at Lu Yan, the participating new students revealed a different gaze.

“He clearly has undead, but he doesn’t prioritize protecting us. Instead, he rushed out to fight. I wonder what he’s thinking.”

“That’s right. I can’t believe he doesn’t even know to prioritize ensuring our collective strength. If not for Jiang Shangbai, we would probably have lost many participating new students.”

“Hmph, he probably deliberately brought the undead away to prevent them from dying. I really didn’t expect Lu Yan to be such a person.”

Whispers entered Lu Yan’s ears, making him frown.

Looking at the participating new students surrounding Jiang Shangbai in front of him, Lu Yan’s frown deepened.

In the face of the attacks of some Earth Dragon Snakes, Jiang Shangbai had gathered so many participating new students beside him.

As for him, he was hated by the new students in front of him.

Even if the undead were his and were unrelated to them, they still hated him because he did not use his undead to protect them.

But so what?

Lu Yan continued to return to the team with the undead. He felt more and more that something was wrong with Jiang Shangbai in front of him.

He wanted to see what this guy was up to!
