Chapter 8: Heroes, Let's Be Friends!

The black beetle has a heavy body and can only fly about half a meter, but after all, it can fly, and with other abilities and a huge number, the black beetle's danger index has suddenly increased by several grades.

"Nima, what kind of goods are these!" Tang Chen was terrified.

The terrible fact that the black beetle could fly made Tang Chen no longer dare to stay where he was and continue to climb up!

After climbing a few steps, Tang Chen took out the knife from the Qiankun bag and cut off some of the smaller branches under his feet, reducing the foothold of the black beetle as much as possible. The tree he chose for ease of climbing was relatively small, but the branches in the middle and lower parts of the tree had always been thicker. If there was enough time, Tang Chen could also cut them one by one, the problem was that the army of black beetles under his feet was pressing forward step by step, and in a hurry, he could only speed up and try to clean up the small branches that were easy to cut, and the thicker branches had to be let go.

After climbing another five or six meters, Tang Chen stopped, and further up, although the branches could still support his weight, but to stop the black beetle, Tang Chen needed to find a relatively stable and easy place to defend, and now the position was just right. In fact, at the speed of the black beetle, climbing a few meters further can only buy a moment, which is of little significance.

Continuing to climb trees and clear branches, Tang Chen, who was not outstanding in physical strength, was sweating profusely and panting like a cow. Tang Chen seized the last bit of time to remove all the branches one meter below the foothold.

Lying on the trunk of the tree, Tang Chen took out two kitchen knives, gestured, put the knives back, and then took out two long baking forks, set up a rack and waited for the swarm to arrive.

At this time, it is more important to distance yourself!

Tang Chen, who was cornered by the insect swarm, had fierce eyes and blood in his veins.

"Do you want to fight Lao Tzu's idea?

The swarm kept approaching, and with the faint moonlight, Tang Chen gradually saw the whole picture of the black beetle. They have large mouthparts, eight arthropods under their abdomen, the tip of which is as sharp as a knife blade, which easily inserts into the trunk, and a line in the center of their back that divides the carapace in half and protects the relatively weak wings.

"Ding!"

The fork poked out and stabbed it on the back of the black beetle in front, making a sound of gold and iron. The black beetle could no longer keep its balance, fell from the tree to the ground, shook its head a few times, and began to move casually closer to the trunk with the swarm. This was expected by Tang Chen, even if there was a hard stone ground under the tree, and a black beetle protected by a hard shell, most of them would not die if they fell.

The sound of "dingding" became more and more urgent, and the battle between Tang Chen and the black beetle swarm became more and more intense.

In order to facilitate the fight against the beetle, Tang Chen clamped the tree body with his legs, his feet were up and down, and the blood was pressed to his brain, it was nothing at first, but after a long time, it made him very uncomfortable. He was now in a Jedi, and there was no way to retreat, so he could only endure the discomfort, and kept turning his body to knock down the approaching beetle.

His physical strength was losing rapidly, but Tang Chen didn't dare to reduce the frequency of calls slightly.

Despite his best efforts, the swarm continued to slowly approach him.

It can't go on like this!

Tang Chen suddenly put the two baking forks together and handed them to one hand.

The other hand swung out a red spiritual power.

"Fireball!"

The temperature of the fireball inspired by spiritual power was far from that of an ordinary bonfire, and everywhere it went, the black beetles turned into rolling gourds one after another, and more than a dozen beetles fell to the ground. However, the fireballs were only a quick solution, and the void they left behind was quickly filled by the swarm of successors.

Tang Chen continued to cast fireballs with a calm face, seven or eight fireballs in a row, consuming most of the spiritual power in his body.

All fireballs, falling in the same place.

Seeing the fireball burning on the tree, and the nearby insect swarms dodging one after another, Tang Chen's heart was a little calmer. He guessed correctly, although the fear of fire was not strong, but it was still somewhat intimidating, and the temperature of the flames attached to the trees was far less than that of the fireballs, but the insects had to crawl slowly through the fire if they wanted to pass through, and the black beetles that rushed to the flames obviously did not like to do that, and they all took a detour.

After the flames were ignited, Tang Chen's defensive area was reduced by a quarter, and the pressure was greatly reduced.

Tang Chen didn't dare to continue to expand the area of the flames, if the trunk of the tree was burned off and fell under the tree, the situation would be unimaginable.

There is not much spiritual power in the body.

At this time, a baking fork couldn't take care of it, and the black beetle took advantage of the situation to attack again, Tang Chen hurriedly unfolded the two-handed fork technique, and made a sharp dial, only to ease the military situation slightly. In this way, he didn't even have time to replenish his spiritual power with spirit stones, he had to save his spiritual power, and when he saw that the flames on the tree body had become smaller, he had to send a small fireball to try to gain time.

Tang Chen's only thought now was to hope that he would survive until dawn.

Yesterday there was nothing to do during the day, maybe the bugs only came out at night. He needed to hold out for at least three hours, but now it seemed that he might not be able to hold out even half an hour.

"! brother is not afraid of you!" Tang Chen, who was in a desperate situation, roared angrily, cheering for himself.

The black beetle couldn't attack it, and the sound of the mouthparts became louder.

In his busy schedule, Tang Chen saw out of the corner of his eye that beetles began to appear on nearby trees.

Tang Chen's face suddenly turned pale.

Although the trunks of the trees are not in each other's genus, the upper branches and leaves are often intersecting, and even if they are not fully touched, the black beetle can easily fly beyond the last distance.

"And outflanking!"

"Brother is going to be eaten meat today......"

"Retribution!"

He finally understood why there were no other animals in this forest, and the black beetle was simply incomprehensible.

Tang Chen didn't want to sit still, and looked around to see if he could transfer to other trees.

Just then, he saw a cat.

A kitten.

Blue hair is like the sea, and the four claws are like snow, which is the delicious foodie who shared with Tang Chen before. The kitten sat on a tree branch, tilting its head and looking at Tang Chen curiously, as if unaware of the danger coming.

"Run!"

Tang Chen struggled to push aside a few black beetles and alerted the kitten.

Seeing that the kitten had no intention of leaving, Tang Chen was a little anxious.

"Run, they want meat!"

The cat stood up, and before Tang Chen could see the movements, the cat had disappeared between the branches, and then appeared in a higher place. The graceful figure jogged on the branches, accelerated, and finally kicked the branches with both legs, and the blue figure drew a graceful arc in the air, and immediately landed lightly beside Tang Chen.

"What are you doing here?

Tang Chen roared angrily, driving the kitten away while blocking the black beetle.

"Meow!"

A scene that Tang Chen will never forget for the rest of his life appeared.

The tide of black beetles on the trees under their feet fell to the ground like dumplings, and several nearby trees were also like this, as if they all lost the strength to grasp the body of the tree, and the black beetles fell, densely, and the scene was extremely spectacular. On the ground, the black beetles in the distance desperately fled, and the black beetles in the vicinity seemed to be drained, lying on their stomachs and not daring to move, and it was obvious that their bodies were trembling. At the same time, the deafening sound of insects in the night sky suddenly weakened, and only black beetles were still chanting in the distance!

"This, this...... What did you do?" Tang Chen stammered.

"Meow!" the kitten's eyes narrowed.

"I'm scared to death!"

Tang Chen lay on the tree, unwilling to move anymore, and let the double fork fall under the tree.

Finally panting evenly, he grinned: "Hero, let's be friends!"
