It's not in his nature to obey commands or allow others to take the fall for him but right now, at this moment, Wei Wuxian doesn't see a better option. After a little bit more scrambling, he finally manages to get back onto his feet and starts running again, this time with a little more caution.

Lan Wangji's always been strong, stronger than him, and his faith in his ability to take out the rest of the bugs is rock solid. As much as Wei Wuxan chafes under the realization that he's defenseless right now, he'd only get in his way. Maybe even get him injured and then they'd both be in the same trouble.

"Okay, keep taking them out and pulling back. I'll look for an escape route."

Maybe later, they'll have time to talk properly but for now, it's clear to Wei Wuxian that getting them both out of here takes priority.

"It should be safe enough. I didn't see anything except ribs and blood that way."

As weak and clumsy as Wei Wuxian is in this new body, he's determined to make himself useful somehow in this situation and not just be a burden. He'd dropped his lantern back where he'd first fallen so he'll just have to make due with his other senses unless he somehow finds another one.
