Wang Qing sprinted down the corridor. The thought of envying Lin Baici flashed through his mind, but he quickly cast it aside.
Because he could never pull that off.
With an unseen, powerful monster lying in wait, one strike from which could kill him, choosing to run back took a kind of quick thinking and decisiveness that ordinary people simply didn't have.
And even if they did, they might not succeed.
They would also need to be bold yet cautious, capable of dodging the monster's attacks.
Lin Baici had managed it.
The value of Nine Provinces Dragon Wing had been put on full display!
When Lin Baici passed the security room, he didn't even look back. But as soon as he rushed into the stairwell, he stopped.
"That monster probably went after the others!"
Lin Baici no longer felt the pressure of wind bearing down on him. That meant the monster hadn't attacked, so there was only one explanation: it had left.
Of course, there was a tiny chance it had gone into hiding again, waiting for a new victim to take the bait.
"I knew you'd come back!"
Seeing Lin Baici stop there, Gu Qingqiu guessed what he was thinking. "I won't bother thanking you. I already owe you several lives!"
There was a good chance the monster was connected to the security room. Knowing Lin Baici, he would definitely come back to deal with it.
"This time, let me go!"
Gu Qingqiu pushed against Lin Baici's shoulder, signaling for her classmate to put her down.
She wanted to scout ahead herself.
"With me here, we can still run if anything happens!"
Lin Baici rolled his eyes. "Stop trying to prove yourself at a time like this!"
As the sound of Wang Qing and the others' footsteps faded away,
