Chapter 998: Terrible Beetle

Suddenly there are so many beetles, it is definitely not an ordinary thing, take a closer look, those beetles are slightly smaller than the palm of their hands, their wings are half open, and the two tentacles on their heads tremble and tremble, like warriors who keep rushing forward, full of hostility......

Beetles came out of the grass everywhere, and some of them crawled on the horses, and the horses neighed and looked very painful......

Soon, it will be found that the beetles actually burrowed into the horse's body, and in an instant, the horse fell to the ground, and the beetles did not come out of the horse's body......

"This insect must be afraid of fire, hurry up and ...... fire"

Soon, there was a commotion in the procession, either slashing the beetles with the swords in their hands or throwing the lit torches at them......

However, the torches were soon extinguished by the rain......

No matter how fast the sword is, it can't resist the attack of these little things, and these beetles will soon be dense and ubiquitous......

In the grass, on the trunks of trees, and in the open space, they can trample to death with one foot, but once they are allowed to get on their bodies, just like those horses just now, they quickly burrow into the flesh, and then eat the flesh and blood inside, and then crawl out......

The horse that fell first soon looked like a deflated balloon, and only one skin remained.

Knowing the lesson from the past, the soldiers immediately mounted their horses and kept the horses running, and the beetles had nowhere to start......

But those camels were miserable, where the movements were as fast as those beetles, and in the blink of an eye, those camels fell down one by one.

As soon as they fell, they became the target of attack, and more beetles crawled towards them......

In an instant, the camel of such a large volume was covered with beetles, and it was black and pressed, and it was very terrifying to see......

"Lifeng, immediately let people take out the fire oil and pour it around to form a safe area, I don't know how many beetles will crawl towards this side......"

The rain was so heavy that only by pouring oil on the fire could the flames last for a while, so as to frighten these hateful beetles......

"The subordinates know, so go and order......"

Li Feng's voice flashed, and at the same time, he put his index finger and middle finger in his mouth and blew it, a sharp whistle sounded, and soon dozens of figures leaned towards him......

With a wave of his hand, they immediately dispersed again......

They quickly took out all the oil and poured it on the trunk of a nearby tree, which soon burst into flames and smoke......

Although the rain was heavy, some of the tree trunks were not wet because of the lush foliage, but the Cangju forest was already very humid, and those tree trunks were also very wet.

After pouring fire oil and burning, there were still bursts of green smoke.

In an instant, the trunks of more than a hundred nearby trees were on fire, and the air was filled with a sinister heat wave......

The beetles seemed to sense the danger and quickly retreated one by one, and before long, there were no more beetles in the vicinity.

But the ground was littered with the carcasses of camels, and five soldiers were also on the road, and lay down with them......

No blood flowed from all the corpses, and all that remained was a skeleton and skin, and the soldiers were pale, their eyes were round, their facial features were distorted, and their deaths were terrifying.

"Lord Wang......" Mei Ji walked over at this time, looking at the miserable everything in front of her, her face looked a little pale.

She really didn't expect these gadgets to be so terrible, that they could eat the flesh and blood of a camel in an instant......

Thinking about that process, she felt like she was numb all over......

"Are you alright?" Helian Yu saw her face pale, he already knew that she was scared, just now, he was going to protect her, but he knew that with Mei Ji's martial arts, it should be enough to deal with the beetle.

But now it seems that some of his thoughts are wrong, Mei Ji's martial arts are not weak, and it is more than enough to deal with those beetles.

But he ignored one point, Mei Ji is a woman who grew up in the palace, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she has never seen any blood type scenes, and those beetles must have frightened her just now......

"I'm okay, don't worry, don't worry, let's think about what to do next, right? The oil will soon run out, and the bugs will definitely come, and if we spend it here, we'll just sit back and die......"

"Mei Ji, you're right, King Rong thinks about it......"

At this time, Sun Qianxue, Xiao Zhao, as well as Su Momo and Ouyang Shuntian all came over......

Especially Xiao Zhao, who looked a little embarrassed, his hair was messy, and his expression was flustered, "Lord Wang, where did so many beetles come from, they are really terrifying......

His martial arts foundation is not good, he was injured again, and he has not recovered, just now in order to avoid those beetles, he made himself embarrassed......

"How would this king know?" Helian Yu said coldly, and then looked at Sun Qianxue, Sun Qianxue's face was calm, much calmer than Zhao Shuikong.

In fact, she didn't have anything to fear, and with her skills, those beetles couldn't hurt her at all......

"Lord Wang, why are there so many beetles all of a sudden? Is it the ghost of the people in the drunken palace? "Such a good opportunity in front of her, if she doesn't take advantage of it herself, wouldn't she be stupid?

But Ouyang Shuntian immediately continued: "These beetles should have nothing to do with the Flower Drunken Palace, the old man just carefully observed it, these beetles are similar to the corpse insects in the ancient tomb of the old man, after those corpse insects evolve, they should be the kind of beetles we see now......

"What Mr. Ouyang mean is that these beetles have evolved from corpse insects?" Helian Yu was stunned, at that moment just now, it was not three or five beetles that appeared, but hundreds of thousands of beetles, if they were really evolved from corpse insects, then, how many corpses would they have to eat if so many corpse insects could survive?

"So to speak, but after the ancient books recorded, after the evolution of corpse insects, they no longer like to eat corpses, but like to be alive, so they come out of the ground to feed, so many of us, they should instinctively perceive that we will become their food, so they flock to ......"

"What can I do? These ghost things have been following, and there are so many, it seems that they can't kill endlessly......" Zhao Shuikong's face showed a look of panic again.

If he had to choose a way to die, he would rather be stabbed to death with a sword than have his flesh eaten and wiped clean by these beetles......

"Mr. Ouyang, do you have a way to repel this beetle?" Helian Yu looked at Ouyang Shuntian.

Ouyang Shuntian pondered for a moment and then said, "This should be a gathering place for beetles, if you want to leave this area safely, you have to make them unaware of our presence......
