Watching Su Ye's calm and methodical approach, it was clear that following her offered the best chance of escape.
But as they neared the forest exit, they saw a dense swarm of Black Worms completely blocking their path. The sight was enough to make one's skin crawl.
Even a hardened warrior like Kuang Zhan couldn't help but shudder.
"Miss... how are we supposed to get out of here?"
Su Ye spoke as she continued tossing Jade Dew Fruits onto the ground.
"They're afraid of fire. If you light a tinderbox, they'll scatter. But we have to be quick, because they..."
Before she could finish, a bloodcurdling scream erupted from behind them.
"AHH!!"
Su Ye turned around and saw that someone, upon hearing that the Black Worms feared fire, had hastily pulled out a tinderbox and lit it.
However, the fire only held the Black Worms back for a moment before provoking a swift counterattack. The swarm instantly engulfed the person holding the tinderbox, dragging them into its midst.
