Chapter 100: What are these? (2)
"What’s going on?"
"Where did these things come from?"
"No, before that...What are these things?"
The people of the group started to panic as they swung their weapons down at the skeletal hands that were grabbing at them.
Once they were in danger as well, they completely forgot about their companion that had been caught by the skeletal hands. That one companion could only watch with bitter eyes as he was dragged into the ground by the skeletal hands.
These people were bandits in the first place, so it wasn’t as if they were that close to each other.
When they had been bandits, the only reason that they had followed Iron Fist was because of how powerful he was. Just because they followed him didn’t mean that they actually felt anything for each other.
As such, they didn’t have the same bond that normal comrades would have had.
At the same time, this was the wilderness where survival of the fittest reigned. It wasn’t as if they were about to risk their own lives just to save someone just because they worked together.
After a while, the leader of the scouts said, "Retreat!"
Though as soon as he gave this order, he had already turned around to run away.
It didn’t seem like he cared if anyone else in his group survived even though he was supposed to be the leader of this group.
