after waking up.

Chapter 144 The Will is the Leader
Hathaway stared wide-eyed and looked outside under the swamp, where the terrifying monster was looming, as if it was the manifestation of the fear in Jenny's heart.

"The worm can only see moving things. My brother and I are often grabbed by the arm, cut our fingers and shake it in front of it. It has a huge breath and poisonous glands in its body."

"do not talk!"

Hathaway rushed over and covered Jenny's mouth, but her strength was far inferior to that of Jenny who had already begun to cultivate her body. She was directly pulled away by the other party, and her arms were tightly clenched.

"Ugh. Look outside!"

Hathaway endured the pain and opened her mouth, and Jenny glanced outside, and Marlene, who was about to stop Jenny, also subconsciously looked outside.

"hiss"

Marlene gasped, and Jenny had already let go of Hathaway's hand, and hurriedly retreated to the innermost part of the tree hole.

"Bug, bug! It's here? It's here!"

Because of the intense fear, Jenny's body kept shaking, and she couldn't even speak clearly.

"Fear magnifies our weaknesses, fear attracts malice here, fear creates even the scariest monsters"

Hathaway said in a low voice while rubbing her arms, the leather surface was pinched with an obvious scratch, because the seriously gray color in the other world looked like bruises on a corpse.

Marlene looked at Jenny who was in fear, then looked at Hathaway, and shook her head slightly at the latter.

"Cuckoo la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la"

A sound of wood being squeezed made all three of them stiffen, and then slowly raised their heads together.

"Cha la la la."

At this moment, outside the tree hole where they were hiding, the entire thick, dead tree had been entangled by a disgusting giant worm, and its terrifying mouthparts opened downward, revealing the densely packed teeth and mucus inside.

"No, don't leave me behind."

Jenny lowered her voice and begged Hathaway and Marlene. She clearly realized that she might be abandoned by her classmates.

Before Hathaway and Marlene could respond, a crackling sound echoed in the dead tree.

"Click, click, click."

This dead tree is very fragile.

"run!"

With a roar, Marlene grabbed Hathaway with one hand, and the frightened Jenny with the other. Her muscles burst out, and she smashed the wood layer under her feet with a "bang", and rushed out of the tree hole in an instant.

The three of them almost passed the worm's body, and Hathaway and Jenny, who were looking backward, could even see the terrifying mouthparts roaring towards them.

"Roar--"

Ma Lin has completely liberated her physical strength now, and she can quickly jump between dead trees with two people, sometimes even seven or eight meters.

"I won't last long in this state, Jenny, you'd better recover your mobility quickly, Hathaway, think of a way!"

Marlene yelled, trying to create obstacles in her escape, but even if she didn't look back, she could feel the worm's speed was ridiculously fast, and its huge body was almost close to them.

Jenny just tightened her body and hugged her head, letting Ma Lin carry her away, not daring to look at the chasing worm.

Hathaway was also extremely terrified. As a girl, although she was very strong, it was unbearable to see such a disgusting and terrifying monster, but this would really not be the time to scream, and no gentleman would appear to help her .

"Senior Jenny, be sober and overcome your fear! Be sober for me!"

Hathaway reached out and twisted Jenny's leg hard.

"what--"

Stimulated by the pain, Jenny screamed. It wasn't because Hathaway was so powerful in pinching people, but because Jenny thought the pain was because she was touched by the worm.

"do not want!"

"Roar--"

The worm spewed a large amount of ink-like liquid forward in an instant. Marlene, who was looking sideways, had her pupils dilated and then contracted rapidly. She threw Jenny to the left, and then stepped heavily on the dead tree where she was holding Hathaway. on the trunk.

Jenny was on one side, and Marlene and Hathaway were on the other side. The two sides separated from each other in an instant, and all the worm's liquid was sprayed on the tree.

"ZizzZZZZ"

The whole tree actually completely melted within a few seconds, and merged with the swamp.

"Bang, snap."

Jenny was thrown directly into the swamp, splashing a piece of mud, while Hathaway turned around and stepped on another dead tree under Marlene's quick reaction, and jumped to the side with her strength.

"Don't leave me behind!"

Jenny yelled at the two of them in despair, while Marlene, holding Hathaway in her arms, was approaching Jenny through the dead tree, but she seemed to be running away alone.

Hathaway understood Senior Ma Lin's intentions, but she finally couldn't bear it with Jenny.

"Sister, it's easy to exert strength behind my back!"

"Ah."

Although Hathaway was a freshman, she was quick-thinking and calm. Marlene was willing to trust her, and threw her from the princess hug to the younger generation, and then Hathaway grabbed Marlene by herself.

During the collision, the worm did not go to Jenny immediately, but kept chasing Marlene and Hathaway.

"I see. The worms born from Sister Jenny's horror memory also have similar characteristics, and are even completely consistent with Sister Jenny's fear memory. The red emerald worm is a creature that adapts to the underground. It only has hearing and a certain degree of dynamic vision. !"

While Hathaway was speaking, Jenny kept screaming and begging. After the worm continued to chase and failed to catch Marlene and Hathaway immediately, it finally turned around and rushed towards the source of the sound.

"Damn it, it went to Jenny's!"

"Let's go there too, senior, please be sure to lure the worm away for a while, and then throw me at Senior Jenny!"

Marlene turned her head and glanced at Hathaway. If she failed to lure the worm away, or if she escaped alone, both Hathaway and Jenny would die, and to a certain extent, she herself shook off the burden and watched Hathaway's line of sight is constantly measuring the distance between the worm and Jenny, and she doesn't seem to consider the possibility of Marlene escaping at all. This may be a kind of slowness, but this kind of slowness in Hathaway, a smart girl, is not because of trust. .

"Okay, I'll try my best, and if I don't succeed, I'll run away by myself."

"Well, if it doesn't work, neither me nor Senior Jenny can survive."

Hathaway said and began to take deep breaths.

In the time of two sentences, the detoured worm had already approached the frightened Jenny again, and Marlene actually followed beside her in an outburst.

"Get ready, it's now!"

With a loud roar, Marlene kicked a dead branch hard, and at the same time grabbed Hathaway's shoulder with her backhand, and threw Hathaway fiercely amidst the sound of part of the clothes being torn.

The branch hit the side of the worm's head, causing it to turn towards Marlene, who was already holding a broken branch in her hand.

"Disgusting thing, come to me!"

Compared with things like wraiths and ghosts, Marlene is more willing to face monsters like worms, at least with a clear shape, as if she was afraid that the worms would not be hooked, she actually jumped out of the tree and rushed towards the worms.

The worm twisted its body, and its huge mouthparts swallowed towards Marlene. The latter's mental strength was also extremely concentrated in the extreme excitement, and the moment the mouthparts were about to touch her, he slammed down the thick branch in his hand.

"boom"

The worm's head visibly paused while the tree was shattering, and Marlene took advantage of the reaction force of the blow, and stomped on the edge of the worm's mouthpart, successfully escaping from one side.

"Roar--"

The strong negativity enveloped the swamp all of a sudden, causing Marlene to fall into a sense of spiritual suffocation, and her body also became stiff, while the bugs chased after her with angry roars.

'Oops! '

Ma Lin found that her consciousness was transmitted to the body and could not get the rapid feedback it should have. She was drowsy and paralyzed, and her body directly hit a dead tree, and it was too late to dodge again, because the worm was already close at hand.
Hathaway was thrown towards Jenny, and she had already rolled up her sleeves during the volley. Seeing Jenny screaming in deep fear, Hathaway gritted her teeth as the distance got closer.

When Hathaway was about to intersect with Jenny, he sent out his fist, and at the same time, there was the sound of Hathaway gnashing his teeth.

"Give me, wake up!"

The moment the fist touched Jenny's chin, it seemed as if the swamp lit up.

With a sound of "bang~", Jenny was actually beaten and dragged out of the mud for a few meters, and passed out directly. Hathaway also rolled several times in the mud in embarrassment.

Marlene's eyes widened in despair, and the mouthparts and sharp teeth of the worm were reflected in the dilated pupils, but suddenly, the worm dissipated like smoke, and only a black mist rushed over her.

"Ho, ho, I, am I still alive?"
