Chapter 357: Profiting From Someone’s Misfortune?

It was far more than quite a bit of trouble—it was practically a matter of life and death.
The casualties of the hundred or so people that were surrounded by zombie crocodiles in the center were already over half. The remaining fifty or so people were still strenuously hanging on.
The reason why this party of people was in such a desperate situation was not only because they were so tragic to encounter over two hundred zombie crocodiles!
It was also because they unfortunately ran into the zombie crocodile king.
Oh my goodness, the zombie crocodile king was as large as a small knoll when it was just sprawling there. Its entire body was covered in warts, and it bared a dense mouth of sharp and protruding teeth.
There weren’t many mystic cultivators in the party, only about twenty or so people. How could those normal bodyguards withstand the zombie crocodiles’ attacks? They of course were reduced to the zombie crocodiles’ meals within minutes.
“Be careful, Princess Mi.” Seeing that a small zombie crocodile was about to bite onto Xiao Mi’s leg, a youth rushed out from the side and hastily sent out a wave of mystic energy to cast the zombie crocodile away.
On the other side.
With a light jab of his blade, a stern-faced youth dressed in a brocade robe claimed a zombie crocodile’s head.
With a white gleam of light, an ugly zombie crocodile’s head was chopped off and flew streaking across the air.
“Tsk, tsk, Baili Xi, look at you being so violent. Those zombie crocodiles don’t even dare to come near you!” The indigo-clothed youth that spoke was close in age to Baili Xi, about 17 to 18.
“Brother Xi, Brother Xi!”
“Baili Xi, your younger girl cousin is calling for you.”The indigo-clothed youth teased with a mischievous smile.
“Don’t speak so much nonsense.”
“Tsk, such a terrible temper. You not liking it doesn’t mean I like it either!” The indigo-clothed youth stopped his movements and gazed towards the plentiful dried branches. He curled his lips and called out with a smile, “Hey, the friends over there, can you come out and help! If we aren’t able to withstand their attack, those huge things won’t think you all are their relatives. They’ll still run over then to bite you all!”
Murong Xun knitted her brows. They had to traverse the area before them, and they definitely couldn’t take a detour.
“Master, let’s not go over. Let’s wait until they’re pretty much done fighting and then add on two strikes before collecting their supplies.” The little stoic’s icy voice caused the three peak master and the many senior sisters present to twitch their mouths. Even the two handsome youths in combat couldn’t help turning their heads to look over.
Fr*ck, was this the legendary profiting from someone else’s misfortune?
“Friend, you’re being inconsiderate by doing this!” Due to the dried branches growing all over the place, the two youths couldn’t discern who was hiding in the wetland. They could only sense that there were quite a few people over in that party, in addition to containing several especially powerful presences.
“Are you guys being considerate? You’re both part of the team, but you don’t even care about the life and death of your teammates. On what basis should other people intervene and help?” Qiao Mu sneered. Those two youths obviously had enough energy to spare in this zombie crocodile mob, but they had to be lazy and wait until the zombie crocodiles blindly pounced on them before striking.
And those zombie crocodiles also weren’t fools. They had a bit of intelligence. Seeing that those two youths were tough nuts to crack, they all ran over to besiege the normal bodyguards in the party.
It was this that caused the casualties in the party to be over half.
Since those two didn’t care about their subordinates’ lives, why should they as outsiders meddle in other people’s business? It wasn’t like they had bursting stomachs and needed an outlet to help digest.
“Tsk, judging from your voice, you seem to be pretty young, but the words you say are rather frosty and unsympathetic. You must be a little girl with so-so looks!” Just as Wei Nanfeng finished saying these words mischievously, he saw a deep red blaze shooting straight for his mouth.
