Chapter 125 – Radiant Sacred Beetle

It was easy to imagine how difficult it was to advance while hiding under the sand.

Luckily, when the beetles were defeated, the tide retreated towards the way they came. Moreover, the density of the tide had largely decreased, making those blazing crows have a hard time eliminating them in one go.

A portion of the blazing crows were so gluttonous that they would pick up a Sacred Beetle from time to time and just eat them. Just like this, the speed of killing the Sacred Beetles had slowed down.

Who knew how the blazing crows were eating the Sacred Beetles, who had a bigger sized body than them.

After using up a lot of time, Wei Xiao Bei had advanced 200 meters and suddenly stopped. A small amount of the beetles were so scared that they even moved towards his direction.

Wei Xiao Bei was surprised. If he were to be bit by these beetles, it would later be impossible for him to lure them using his arms anymore.

Should I initiate an attack, or should I endure their bitting?

This was a problem related to his survival.

However, before Wei Xiao Bei made a decision, a wave of heat surged towards his direction. One of the blazing crows had flew over and was holding onto one Sacred Beetles in its beak. The flame from its body had also spread out, killing more than 10 beetles. The remaining several hundred ran away in two different directions.

Wei Xiao Bei relaxed a bit after seeing the blazing crow chasing after the Sacred Beetles and getting further away from him.

This whole situation that had happened was truly exhilarating.

Luckily, the blazing crows had helped him disperse the beetles.

Thinking up to here, Wei Xiao Bei noticed that the sand covering his body had become burning hot. The burning heat passed through, making Wei Xiao Bei’s back slightly ache in pain.

However, compared to being exposed to the escaping beetles, this was a small matter.

In the next moment, Wei Xiao Bei focused on his status panel.

The blazing crow had passed quite close to him, so Wei Xiao Bei did not believe that the blazing crow would not appear in the battlelog.

Battlelog:

……

You witnessed the battle between the Fire Crows and the Sacred Beetle Descendants

……

Sacred Beetle Descendant Formation collapsed and scattered

……

Fire Crow?

Wei Xiao Bei concentrated on the name of the Fire Crow. Simple information on the Fire Crow appeared.

Fire Crows: 2-Star Elite Creature. These are creatures born from the blood of fallen Golden Crows. They live in groups and are adept at using flames.

2-Star Elite Creatures?

So that’s why they looked like Golden Crows with two legs.

Wei Xiao Bei recalled the burning feeling while the Fire Crows had passed by. He felt a slight threat from them, but it was not that clear.

Looking at it from this angle, this meant that he had a chance of victory if he fought one on one.

After all, the Fire Crows were a lot slower than the Scarlet Pheasant. Although their bodies were covered in flames, everything would be fine as long as the temperature of the flames did not exceed what the Leg Hair Great Spear could handle. This, in itself, wouldincrease his probability of winning.

As for the group of Sacred Beetle Descendants, they would probably at most be labelled as a small detachment so they did not matter much to the main group.

Wei Xiao Bei had already understood this point from the previous battle.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Should I withdraw here, or should I force myself into their fight?

When Wei Xiao Bei began to explore his options, he sensed the ground shake. The sand on his body were shaken to piling at his sides.

Could it be an earthquake?

Wei Xiao Bei did not know if earthquakes occured in the desert, but anything could happen inside The Dust World. As a result, even if earthquakes did not happen in real deserts, having an earthquake in the deserts of The Dust World would not be strange.

However, following the spread of the earthquake, the Sacred Beetle Descendants that had been scattered by the Fire Crow began to assemble. Even if the Fire Crows continuously passed by and burned them to ashes, the beetles did not retreat at all. On the contrary, they sped up.

Hum!

An oppressive sound came from the desert.

In an instant, Wei Xiao Bei’s entire body was filled with goosebumps!

Extreme danger!

This feeling had only happened once before and that was when the Citizen of Long Bo appeared.

At this time, Wei Xiao Bei did not hesitate and jump out from the sand. However, he did not dare be arrogant and stand up. He still stuck himself to the sand and crawled back the way he came from.

On his way back, nothing unexpected happened.

The reason nothing happened, was that the Sacred Beetles were beginning to come together. Even if Wei Xiao Bei walked beside them, they would not even pay any attention to him.

The Fire Crows had already returned to the skies and circled above while letting out cries, as if to strengthen themselves. As for the Scarlet Pheasant, it did not chase the Sacred Beetles anymore and returned back inside the crevice.

Wei Xiao Bei returned to his previous spot and picked up the great spear. He did not stop and continued to move forward. He only stopped moving after a sharp pain came from behind him. He jumped into the sand to hide himself while observing the situation.

At this time, the shaking became more violent. From Wei Xiao Bei’s estimate, it seemed to be around a magnitude of 5.

The gathering beetles had already decreased to only a third. The Sacred Beetles would be buried by the sand from time to time by the earthquake and then climb out again.

As time passed, the shaking had already reached magnitude 6. Even Wei Xiao Bei who was 1000 meters away could feel the shaking as if he was lying down on a spring bed, being bounced up and down every three seconds. As for the sand covering his body, they had already been shaken off a long time ago and was exposing his body.

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei was already in a safe spot.

Neither the attention of the Sacred Beetles nor the Fire Crows were on him.

Finally, a protrusion suddenly appeared on top of the Sacred Beetle gathering. They appeared as if mites surrounding an egg, and in an instant, they were all sent flying away.

The protruding sand dune kept growing as countless grains of sand piled on the sides.

Hum!

An ear shattering sound echoed.

After the loud sound, the remaining sand on top of the sand dune flowed down. A giant golden monster surpassing a hundred meters suddenly appeared on the sand.

This is?

Seeing that it looked familiar, Wei Xiao Bei shook his head to shake away the dizziness caused from the sound, and then carefully sifted through his mind.

Sacred Beetle Descendant!

It has the same carapace, the same six legs, and the same antenna.

Other than the outer color being different, and its body being bigger by a few times, the giant monster was a perfect copy of the small Sacred Beetles.

Luckily, even though Wei Xiao Bei was a bit dizzy, he did not forget to check his battlelog. Since he was affected by the sound, there would definitely be something in the battlelog.

Battlelog:

……

You have received soundwave attack from 4-Star Elite Creature Radiant Sacred Beetle.

You have been afflicted by dizziness

……

Dizziness has decreased

……

4-Star Elite Creature Radiant Sacred Beetle!

Wei Xiao Bei was speechless. He felt as if his luck went bad too quickly.

A 4-Star Elite Creature was only one rank below the strong and powerful Citizen of Long Bo, and it had actually appeared in front of him.

It must be known that the Big Tree Spirit was only a 3-Star Terror Creature.

Radiant Sacred Beetle?

Wei Xiao Bei thought for a moment.

The closest creature to this should be the Christian Holy Animal.

The problem here was that the Sacred Beetle drenched in holy blood and the Christian Holy Animal was only the size of his finger. It was too small compared to the Radiant Sacred Beetle.

Could it be a monster from some game?

When Wei Xiao Bei thought to this point, he immediately froze. However, in the next instant, he shook his head.

If The Dust World was a game, then the one who created it would be too terrifying.

Moreover, there needs to be players in a game. The people that I had met in the Dust World had mostly died.

Wei Xiao Bei felt dizzy just exploring this train of thought, and temporarily placed it in the back of his mind.

It is impossible for The Dust World to be that simple.

In reality, the cry of the Radiant Sacred Beetle only gave Wei Xiao Bei a headache. The Fire Crows that were circling in the sky, on the other hand, had started to fall down from the sky. When the Radiant Sacred Beetle cried out, they appeared to have received a heavy attack to the point that the flames on their bodies had been extinguished.

Luckily, the peak of the fiery red mountain range was 30 meters below them. Even if they fell down, they would not died from the fall. At most, they would be covered in dirt.

After all, for the Fire Crows, even if their bodies lost control and fall down, they could still avoid death from a heavy injury. Moreover, with their vitality, this kind of hit would not injure them at all.

Hum!

The Radiant Sacred Beetle let out another cry. This time, Wei Xiao Bei was prepared as he had already experienced it. Seeing the Radiant Sacred Beetle raising its body with its forelegs, he immediately covered his ears and stuck close to the ground.

The high-pitched sound passed through the sand like a storm. Even though Wei Xiao Bei had covered his ears, he had only been able to dampen it a bit, and still became slightly dizzy. From this, it could be seen how much pain the Fire Crows were suffering.

However, the cry was not the Radiant Sacred Beetle’s only means of attack.

After it cried out, the Radiant Sacred Beetle’s carapace shone a gold light and spread everywhere like a growing sun. It only stopped when it reached 200 meters in diameter.

Inside the radius, the Sacred Beetle Descendants quickly recovered from any injuries.

After they recovered, these Sacred Beetle Descendants trembled with excitement as they quietly hummed. They stood close to the Radiant Sacred Beetles like guards protecting a VIP.

On the other hand, the Radiant Sacred Beetle raised its large back part. After it shrunk a little, it suddenly sprayed out white colored specks.
