Bang--!

A low, muffled thud was heard, and two dents appeared in the wall in front.

The earthen wall was thicker than they had imagined. Niu Chuanchuan and his eleventh senior brother exchanged a glance, and then both mustered all their strength.

With an even louder noise, the soil above began to fall down in a rush.

But the earthen wall in front of them remained unbroken; instead, it seemed to have disturbed some indigenous inhabitant underground. A wriggling sound, resembling that of a colossal creature, grew closer and closer through the soil.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp!"

Iron Egg Flower cried out impatiently.

Something's coming this way!

"Let's go, get out of here quickly, and find a safe place to hide."

The group reacted quickly, turning and running towards the outside. However, before they reached the next passageway, the exit was blocked by a gigantic creature covered in scales.

The patterns on the scales flashed quickly before my eyes.

It's still moving!

"Back up! Back up!"

The twentieth senior brother, who was at the bottom of the group, waved to them, and the group slowly moved backward, hoping not to be discovered by the monster. However, at that moment, the giant creature in front of them suddenly stopped.

With a snap, a pair of red eyes, larger than a lantern, opened and stared at a group of people in the passageway.

They've been caught red-handed!

Everyone immediately adjusted their formation.

The strongest, Niu Chuanchuan and Huo Rui, along with the nineteenth senior brother's chicken (Iron Egg Flower: ?), stood at the forefront.

The second group of twenty senior students prepared to set up the newly practiced formation.

Damn, the space is too narrow, there's no room to set up the formation!
