Chapter 579: Sacred Beetle

 In the previous chaos, there were more than 10 people who had their leg tendons bitten off, causing blood to flow non-stop.

 Afterward, those people had been covered by the beetles and killed.

 Naturally, there were some who wanted to save Wei Xiao Bei, but they were immediately pulled back by others.

 They all had good intentions. What use was it for them to go in when such a strong person could still die from these beetles?

 This place was a strange place. Adding to their previous thrilling experience, the group of people had become quite friendly to each other.

 After all, they also knew that not working together in a place like this would send one to their deaths.

 “What should we do?”

 As the leader, young Master Zhang felt a bit of despair.

 Young Master Zhang’s full name was Zhang Ze Jie. His father was the City Council Chairmen while his mother was a businesswoman from an influential family. His family background was considered quite prominent.

 Perhaps because of strict family education, he was not as dandy others. After he graduated from high school, he had the assistance of friends and computers to make profits. When he was a first-year university student, he established a computer company. After graduation, the computer company had already spread to half of Cui Hu City.

 Until now, the brand name of his business had already reached eight businesses. They covered IT, macromolecule, and many other businesses. They could be considered as the rising star of the tech industry in Cui Hu City. It was said that Zhang Ze Jie integrated companies had hit the market.

 Even if he was assisted by his parent’s contacts, he was still a talented person.

 Thus, in the entire exploration team, he was the prestigious one that could make strategic decisions.

 Seeing young Master Zhang’s anxious face, the other people who were in a higher position than his were at a loss.

 “Everyone has sustained injuries. It’s better if we leave first.”

 A bodyguard who had been bitten on the shoulder made a suggestion. He was young Master Zhang’s personal bodyguard. His prestige was not low among the bodyguards, thus he was also a person who could make strategic decisions.

 Just when everybody was approving of the suggestion, Wei Xiao Bei, who was covered in Sacred Beetle Descendants from head to toe, began to move.

 The reason Why Wei Xiao Bei did not move was complete because cleaning up the Sacred Beetle Descendants was quite troublesome. He’d rather have them throw away their lives by getting on him.

 In truth, compared to fire, Wei Xiao Bei’s electricity was the true trump card against the Sacred Beetles.

 Wei Xiao Bei did not even need to discharge electricity. When the Sacred Beetle Descendants threw themselves on him, electric light would pass through.

 More than 10,000 volts of electricity instantly broke through the air and penetrated through the Sacred Beetle Descendants that were covering him.

 In an instant, a peculiar fragrance pervaded the air.

 The Sacred Beetle Descendants had been cooked by the electricity, giving off an appetizing fragrance.

 Only an instant of high voltage electricity could cause this kind of effect. If flames were used, a large portion of their meat would probably be burnt.

 Wei Xiao Bei shook lightly, causing the mountain of beetles to collapse.

 After grabbing the beetles and using a bit of strength, the hard beetle shell immediately split open, exposing yellow meat.

 When he was a child, Wei Xiao Bei had skewered grasshoppers and dragonflies before on sticks and cooked them to eat. Thus, he was not disgusted with the meat and immediately tried it.

 Oh, the taste is not bad.

 There was no doubt that even his high voltage attack carried the power of his [Cooking] skill.

 Naturally, because these Sacred Beetle Descendants had low creature ranks, the effects of cooking them were not that good. They were only normal quality items, but they could be considered hard to obtain delicacies.

 Seeing the bug mountain collapse, the people standing on the faraway sand dune were amazed. They thought that the Sacred Beetle Descendants had eaten Wei Xiao Bei clean and were about to chase after them.

 However, they never imagined that a man would appear after the bug mountain collapsed. The bugs appeared to be all dead, lying motionless on the ground. Then, the man took a beetle and ate it as he walked over with a relaxed expression.

 Alright? He’s actually alright?

It was an absolute shock to them that the beetles were unable to eat him.

 They ignored the fact that Wei Xiao Bei was eating the beetles.

 “Careful! Come over here! There is a monster behind you!”

 At this time, a bodyguard with excellent vision quickly waved at Wei Xiao Bei and shouted.

 To be more accurate, a small sand dune was moving 600 meters behind Wei Xiao Bei.

 Following the sand dune’s movement, the sand gradually fell away.

 As the sand gradually fell away, it revealed a large beetle!

 The large beetle’s long legs continuously moved under the sand as its speed increased.

 In truth, Wei Xiao Bei had already noticed this beetle’s movement when it was 500 meters behind him.

 This caused Wei Xiao Bei to look at the bodyguard.

 Being able to see the movement of the beetle 600 meters behind Wei Xiao Bei without any equipment was definitely a lot better compared to his [Eagle Eye].

 As he activated [Enlightenment], Wei Xiao Bei saw the bodyguard’s status.

 It must be said that the bodyguard had killed a lot of monsters in the Dust World already. His status was already higher than a normal person by a bit, but his eyesight being this good was due to the benefits of a special skill.

Dynamic Vision: Capable of seeing anything that moves under a certain speed within an 800-meter radius.

 What a good guy. He had a skill that was an upgrade of a frog’s eyes.

 If he made that person serve as a sniper, he might even be able to bring down a helicopter!

 After sweeping a glance, Wei Xiao Bei’s saw everyone’s statuses.

 What astonished him was that although there were more than 100 people, very few of them had gained special skills, just 10 of them.

 Moreover, their special skills leaned more toward support.

 For example, the [Dynamic Vision] could be used to support snipers. Additionally, another one had [Steady as Mt. Tai], which could allow him to become a human cannon once he carried artillery.

 It was no wonder why they were pushed to such a state in the desert area.

 However, thinking about it, the people who had gained special skills were only the bodyguards. It could be seen that from the previous experience that these rich people’s children had treated coming to the Dust World as an excursion.

 Otherwise, other than some people who had age restrictions, they only needed to fight once to activate their special skills.

 Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei was only thinking about it.

 Those children of rich people were simply unattractive to Wei Xiao Bei. He needed to attract the bodyguards and the staff.

 After all, those children might not even be willing to come back into the Dust World anymore.

 In any case, Wei Xiao Bei naturally knew that the beetle was approaching from behind.

 It was the Sacred Beetle!

 Wei Xiao Bei had previously killed a Sacred Beetle before, but he expended a lot of strength.

 Moreover, that Sacred Beetle that he had killed was still in the incubation period. In the end, Wei Xiao Bei had weakened it substantially and forced it out.

 However, even if that was so, Wei Xiao Bei had almost lost his life to it.

 The one chasing Wei Xiao Bei now was a Sacred Beetle that had a complete body.

 This one was twice as large as the one he had killed. Its fast crawling made it look like a big bus moving in the desert.

 Its creature rank was 3-Star Elite, which was higher by a rank compared to the one he had killed.

 Bang!

 Wei Xiao Bei tested and threw a dagger at it.

 The dagger carrying his power directly hit the Sacred Beetle’s exoskeleton.

 If Wei Xiao Bei’s attack had landed on a steel plate, he would at least be able to insert the dagger and even penetrate through.

 However, once the dagger hit the Sacred Beetle, it had rebounded and only left a white mark on its carapace.

 What a hard carapace!

 Admittedly, Wei Xiao Bei knew that it was very hard, but he never imagined that it was this hard.

 This fully formed Sacred Beetle was completely different from the one he had killed.

It must be known that Wei Xiao Bei’s current creature rank was already 4-Star. His Strength Attribute alone was 52.55 points. His Muscle had already reached 57 points!

 Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei also knew that the carapace could block his dagger, not just due to its hardness but also because of its dome-like shape.

 At this time, the people on the sand dune were preparing to run away. They had no choice. After all, the last time they encountered this Sacred Beetle, many people had been directly killed by it.

 The carapace of the Sacred Beetle was just too hard and none of them could do anything about it.

 However, how could Wei Xiao Bei not have a way to deal with it? He extended his right hand and brought out the Hard Metal Jian. He jumped in the air, causing the Sacred Beetle to run past him.

 At this time, Wei Xiao Bei’s Hard Metal Jian was smashing toward the Sacred Beetle.

 Bang! Bang! Bang!

 With three continuous strikes, loud booms echoed.

 Everyone on the sand dune felt that their ears were ringing. They saw the speed of the Sacred Beetle immediately slow down. After charging for 50 meters, it actually hit a sand dune and stopped moving.

 It’s dead!

 Without needing to look at the battle log and only looking at the 900 points increase to his status, Wei Xiao Bei knew that the third strike activated Vibration Strike, killing the Sacred Beetle.

 With that said, if he only knew when Zhu Xin Yi would become a 3-Star Creature, then he could subdue two of them. That would not be a bad thing.

 After all, if the Sacred Beetle fought on its own, it could bluntly collide with the enemy. Although there were not many uses for it, if Zhu Xin Yi’s other monsters provided support, then they could knock the enemies to death. Its power was even greater than a Dang Kang’s.
