"Why did you come here? You are only going to slow me down!" Alex scoffed at the sight of the man she hadn't expected to see at all.
In reality, she was just anxious and she was waiting for Lu Chen or the dog to show up. So since it was neither of them, she shouted at the poor guy who did come to help her.
Fang Yuan was speechless. Anyone else would have been pleased to see some backup, but this stupid girl was scolding him! Why am I even here?
"You are unbelievable!" He begrudgingly shouted back, while his hands simultaneously picked up the rifle, aiming for the beast she was currently fighting against.
Fang Yuan aimed for its eyes and sent out two bullets.
Bang. Bang.
The centipede roared in agony and Alex used this chance to finish it off completely as she had already injured the worm quite a bit.
Kacha! Her dagger enshrouded in flames slashed at the beast's body and she cleanly severed its head into two halves which made the centipede finally stop moving.
This was the fourth one she took down and Alex quickly dug into the beast's flesh and absorbed the mana core. She felt the tiredness in her body reducing and her flames roared loudly again.
As she was about to move on to the next one, two centipedes had managed to reach her at the same time and she quickly jumped and dashed away.
However, in the rush, she tripped over a broken cement slab and fell flat on the ground because of the high momentum.
Using this chance, one of the centipedes spewed out a huge ball of acid at her while the other two ground their teeth and dived in to chew her.
"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck." Alex scrambled back up again, but one of the centipedes had already reached her and it was about to take a big bite out of her long legs.
"Fuck." She prepared for the worst and dashed forward again as fast as she could, but instead of the beast biting into her, only a clean slashing sound rang loudly.
"Who is dragging whom down?" Fang Yuan had struck the centipede with some sort of a metal rod. It was not enough to injure the beast properly but it managed to buy the 2 seconds which Alex needed.
She quickly regained her balance again and sent out another blast of fire towards the beasts coming for her.
"Watch it, woman! You are going to burn me down." Fang Yuan hurriedly moved and stood at a safe distance again, aiming for the weaker spots in the remaining three centipedes.
Caught in this complete and utter chaos, both Fang Yuan and Alex did not notice the black figure that blurred in the distance, along with the small feline beast sitting atop this figure.
