Don't Be Afraid, I'm Here

"Are you hurt?"

The four of them, Luo Yan's group, met in the barracks.

As captain, Yan Wenbo naturally asked about Luo Yan and Xiao Bai's condition as soon as they met.

Luo Yan shook his head. "After we split up, Danghu chased us."

"Xiao Bai and I hid."

Yan Wenbo pulled down the zipper of his combat suit to let in some air. "You sent a flare earlier and said the communication equipment was being monitored?"

Luo Yan nodded. "It was the Giant Beast parasites on Danghu."

"Those things seemed able to sense communication signals. When the captain sent us a message, they sensed it and followed the signal. Xiao Bai and I took the opportunity to get away."

Dugu Changxin took off his combat suit, leaving only a black undershirt. "The parasites—are they those human-looking things?"

"I was wondering where those disgusting things came from. The captain and I had to spend quite a bit of effort shaking them off."

Yan Wenbo took out a canteen and gulped down several mouthfuls of hot water. "As long as everyone made it back safely. On the way back, I heard it from the other teams. They all came under attack in the Forbidden Land."

"Besides the Giant Beast parasites, there were Giant Beasts too. A few unlucky ones even lost their lives in the Forbidden Land."

"We've only just started, and people are already dying. These contribution points from this 'Operation Commission' aren't easy to earn."

Luo Yan sat down. "The anomaly this afternoon should have been related to Danghu's activity."

"I activated my Divine Treasure and took a look. Behind that tall wall, there was something shaped like a mountain peak. But it probably wasn't a mountain. It was too regular and didn't look like something formed by nature."
