Chapter 125 Dead End
The narrow stairway was both dark and cramped; Wei Jie and Tian Xinyue silently continued upward, while Han Jiaojiao, followed by Wang Mengyi, slowly ascended the stairs in retreat.
Groans from the lower part of the stairwell rose and fell intermittently; the Alien Species seemed bewildered by the building, circling each floor in search of Han Jiaojiao and the others.
Although the sense of smell of the Alien Species was keen, it could only guide them in a general direction, and by this time their wounds had gradually stopped bleeding, while the scent of lime and cement inside the building was evidently stronger.
Unable to find their prey, the Alien Species grew frustrated; their speed increased as they swept through one floor after another, getting progressively closer to Han Jiaojiao and the others.
The sound was almost within reach. Finally, Tian Xinyue couldn’t help but stop. She stretched out her finger and gestured a "4" to Han Jiaojiao.
Four of them had come...
Han Jiaojiao raised her dagger as a signal, and upon seeing it, everyone else gripped their knives tightly.
A massive dark shadow appeared at the stairwell below!
—Its limbs sprawled on the stairs, clumsily climbing upward but suddenly accelerating upon seeing Han Jiaojiao and her group! Its hind legs forcefully pushed off, and its entire massive body leapt high up towards the rear of the team—directly at Han Jiaojiao!
"Run!" Han Jiaojiao dodged to the side while shouting in a low voice!
