Chapter 234 The Cold-Blooded World Destroyer 10 (1/2)

Ahead, two orcs were talking in hushed tones.

"Boss, shouldn't we..."

Wen Zhuli hesitated before speaking, but Zhou Ying interrupted him with a raised hand.

"Stop talking nonsense and go clear the way."

Zhou Ying didn't even turn her head to look at him; her gaze remained sharp as she scanned the dimly lit passage ahead, her voice low but unquestionable.

Wen Zhuli swallowed back what he had left to say, only responding softly before quickly taking action.

Meanwhile, Guo Bei's so-called relatively safe passage direction.

The further they went, the more humid and stuffy the air became, with a sweet, pungent smell of rotting plants spreading through the air.

At the end of the passage, as expected, it was completely blocked by a dark purple vine that slowly wriggled like a living creature.

"I wasn't lying to you, was I? It's this mutated vine that's blocking the entrance. It's definitely safe inside."

“They are afraid of fire, but I have limited resources, so I must find the weak points at the roots and quickly clear a gap.”

"I'll draw their main attack away from the front, you follow up and concentrate your firepower on the weak gaps to open a passage."

Guo Bei pointed at the vines and spoke with great passion, as if he were a great man who led from the front.

Yuan Ke and his men, unsuspecting, mobilized their forces to prepare for a coordinated attack.

What he didn't say was that the truly terrifying aspect of this heart-eating vine lies in its horrific ability to reproduce and mimic.

They deliberately leave seemingly vulnerable openings to lure prey in, but those are actually the real death traps.

Just as everyone's attacks focused on a single point, barely burning a gap wide enough for one person to crawl through, Guo Bei's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he suddenly roared, "Now! Everyone, attack together!"

He pretended to provide cover in front, but cleverly lagged behind by half a step.

Eager to escape this oppressive environment, Yuan Ke was the first to grit his teeth and squeeze inside, followed closely by the others.

However, just as Aiqi was about to fully enter the gap at the very back, Guo Bei behind her suddenly revealed a smug smile on his face. Instead of following, he abruptly retreated to the side.

A slight mechanical sound suddenly rang out.

The leaf-shaped opening on the side was not a safety exit at all; behind it was a huge, meticulously disguised pit.

"ah!!!"

Guo Bei's screams suddenly came from the bottom of the pit.

He clearly hadn't fully anticipated it would be a trap.

The first one slipped and fell straight down, the muffled sound of flesh being pierced by a sharp object echoing from below, and then his screams stopped abruptly.

"Retreat! Everyone, retreat quickly!!"

Yuan Ke reacted the fastest, screaming in horror as he tumbled backward.

Hu Jiang and Meng Nan frantically pulled at the terrified Ai Qi, finally managing to break free from the deadly gap and stumble back into the passage in a disheveled state.

The four men, still shaken, stared at the gap that was slowly being covered again by vines, and at the faint smell of blood emanating from below, their faces ashen.

They've been taken advantage of!

Guo Bei clearly intended to use them as cannon fodder to scout ahead and sneak in from the side.

As it turned out, he had brought this upon himself, and it turned out to be a trap.

No longer caring about cooperation or access routes, their survival instinct left them with only one thought: get back as quickly as possible.

Perhaps only by climbing over that deadly pipe can we find safety!

The four of them scrambled and crawled back to the pipe along the same route.

But the platform opposite was empty; Instructor Zhou and the others had long since disappeared.

Beneath their feet lay bottomless sewage.
