C18 Giant man-eating beetle

Wu Ji and I slowly moved to the side, afraid that we would make even the slightest of noise, lest we alarm the thing behind me.

The smell made me nauseous, and the tension made my heart race.

In a minute or two, the sweat on my back had soaked through my T-shirt.

Because he was unable to see what was behind him, this feeling was even more suffocating.

After walking a few steps, Wu Ji suddenly stopped, staring straight behind me, his expression becoming more serious.

I felt that the situation was not good, and was thinking about how to deal with it, when Wu Ji suddenly shouted: "Run!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he turned around and grabbed my hand, sprinting forward at a hundred meters.

At the same time, I heard a constant rustling behind me!

I couldn't resist turning my head back to take a glance. I wanted to know what it was that was able to make the always calm Wu Ji feel like he was facing a great enemy.

But in a hurry, I turned my head and only saw two long things that looked like TV antennas. They moved with a rustling sound not too far behind me. Their speed was extremely fast!

At that time, I was probably running away with a hypoxic brain, the first thing I would have thought of was that the TV antenna had come alive!

He asked Wu Ji loudly, asking him if he saw what was inside.

Wu Ji held onto me tightly as he shouted out, "Buggy!"

What? Worms?

I don't believe Wu Ji's words, I turned my head to look, and this time I saw that thing's entire appearance!

It's over a meter long and half a meter tall. It's a black semicircle shaped object with a relatively small head in front of it. It has big sharp teeth and two antennae that look like antennae on top of its head!

At first glance, it looked more like a car with black wires all over its body.

"What the f * ck is this?!" I ran out of breath.

Wu Ji also turned around to look at it, then pointed at a tree in front of them, telling me to climb up and tell them that he was going to deal with it.

When faced with a life or death situation, one's potential was limitless.

I didn't expect that someone who had never climbed a tree before would actually climb up a few shallow holes in its branches.

Just as he steadied his feet and was about to pull Wu Ji up the tree, he suddenly turned and ran in another direction, at the same time luring the giant bug away.

It's just as Wu Ji said, it's a super unrivalled giant bug. Furthermore, it looks like an ordinary black beetle that can be seen normally! However, it was magnified countless times.

Why did this insect grow so big? Or perhaps, it could no longer be considered a bug.

Without me by his side, Wu Ji's movements immediately became more nimble, he ran to the middle of two trees and crashed into one of the trees with the insect.

With a bang, it sounded like a car had crashed into a tree.

"Wu Ji, be careful!" I was worried.

Wu Ji's eyes lit up like a torch, his body tensed up as he shot an arrow at the giant bug. Taking the chance to snap out of his shock, he rushed forward, raised his blade and slashed down!

I have seen Wu Ji's strength; that blade of his could easily slice through a wooden stake that was as thick as a person's thigh.

However, that seemingly powerful slash did not cause much damage to the giant worm's body. The blade edge had only penetrated the surface of the shell a little, and some of the red liquid had fallen onto the ground.

I was surprised to see that the giant worm was bleeding? The blood of ordinary insects should not be green or anything like that, but the red blood that flowed out of the giant bug's body was like that of a human's!

Once Wu Ji's attack failed, he knew that he couldn't fight recklessly. He circled around the giant worm, trying to find an opportunity.

I suddenly thought, "The beetle's carapace is the hardest, while its abdomen and head are the softest and easiest to attack!"

Wu Ji did not reply, but I knew that he took my words to heart.

For I saw him suddenly leap up another tree, and at the same time make a sound to draw the giant worm close.

Although the giant worm was inconceivably large, it was eerie, as if it had turned into a spirit.

But from the looks of it, its brain had not evolved at the same time as its body. After discovering that Wu Ji had climbed up the tree, it started to smash its head into the tree!

Wu Ji took the chance and actually jumped onto the giant bug's body. At the same time, one of his hand held onto his chopper, and the other held onto a dagger that he had pulled out from somewhere, both of the daggers stabbed into the back of the giant bug!

The Giant Worm looked like it was crazy from the pain, as if it was trying to throw Wu Ji off. However, Wu Ji caught hold of the fixed body of the twin blades and quickly moved forward.

Finally, the body followed the angle of the carapace, sliding down like the head of a giant bug.

However, just as he was about to hit the ground, the dual blades suddenly stabbed into the head of the giant bug. However, just as he was about to hit the ground, the dual blades suddenly stabbed into the giant bug's head.

In just a few minutes, Wu Ji had killed a super unrivalled giant beetle.

I stood on the tree in amazement for a few seconds before regaining my senses and slowly climbed down the tree. However, there was still a lingering fear in my heart and I didn't dare to move forward.

Wu Ji's expression was very calm, he unhurriedly pulled the dual blades out from the worm's head, and instantly, a large amount of blood flowed out. The entire ground was reeking of blood, adding the rancid smell, I couldn't help but hold onto the tree trunk and vomit.

After I recovered my breath a little, I asked Wu Ji just what kind of thing it was. How could there be such a big bug, and it wasn't too far from the village. This giant bug's size clearly wasn't what it would look like in a year or two, but why was it that no one had seen it in so many years?

The reason why the villagers had never seen it was because a barrier had been set up by an expert within the Xiao Xi Kou. All of these things should only be able to move within the Xiao Xi Kou and could not be moved away from here.

I smoothed out my hands and asked, "Barrier?"

Wu Ji nodded. He said that when he first entered the Xiao Xi Kou, he already felt that there was something strange within the forest.

And he sensed it immediately after we came in here in the morning, and let me wonder if it was any different here than it was outside.

I carefully thought back to it, and realized that there were indeed many different aspects to it. After entering the Xiao Xi Kou, my body instinctively felt many strange sensations.

But because this forest was too deep and was described as miraculous by the crowd, he didn't think too much about it and subconsciously thought that these strange feelings were all normal or that he had thought too much subconsciously.

But with Wu Ji's reminder, he finally understood.

Wu Ji then said, he reckoned that there was an ancient tomb or building like a sacrificial altar in the Xiao Xi Kou.

I was surprised. Previously, I thought about the ancient tomb, but I didn't think about the sacrificial altar.

It was only then that I understood the reason why Wu Ji had to come to Xiao Xi Kou was because he thought that there was a chance that there would be an ancient building to sacrifice to the gods.

After interacting with him for a long time, I found out that Wu Ji had researched a few of the various secret techniques, and he was extremely infatuated with them.

This was also the reason why he was familiar with both Buddhist and Taoist methods.

However, there might be hidden secrets hidden inside an ancient altar, so Shi Yan wanted to find out more about it. It was just like how a martial arts fanatic sought out martial arts secret manuals.

But to tell the truth, he wasn't the only one who was curious.

And then we looked at the giant bug, and it was exactly what I thought it was,

Wu Ji said that maybe the reason it grew so big was because of the barrier, or maybe the things he ate were different, but there was one thing for certain.

No one could be sure how big the rest of the forest would be if a beetle grew up to be.

I suddenly felt a little terrified. A big bug like that had been tormented to the point that we almost choked on ourselves. If something even scarier were to appear, wouldn't that just take my life?

Compared to these giant worms, or other things, it seemed like the demons and deities would come and make it even cuter.

I helplessly retorted to Wu Ji, and he also laughed bitterly: "Since you're here, you can only come in peace, but if you're afraid, I can send you back immediately."

Although I was scared, I would never admit it.

I tightened my bag and straightened my back to say that I wasn't afraid, but I still subconsciously grabbed my machete to boost my courage and walked forward.

Wu Ji looked at me and shook his head with a smile, then pointed to the other side. "This way, Nun Qing."

I snorted and pretended as if nothing had happened as I turned around. At this moment, I was feeling extremely apprehensive.

But when I saw Wu Ji protecting me from the side, my heart inexplicably felt a lot more at ease.
