Wizard, I Have Another World

Chapter 394 Black Beetle

"Splash..."

For some unknown reason, the stone carvings on the wall came to life and rushed towards the group.

Unlike the scarabs we encountered before.

The revitalized scarab beetle is no longer golden yellow, but dark brown, resembling wriggling charcoal.

They moved very fast and were terrifyingly numerous, forming a black wave in the blink of an eye.

"Retreat now!"

"Shoot now!"

"..."

"puff!"

The team was equipped with firearms that cooled down quickly, and when someone pulled the trigger, puffs of white mist sprayed out.

White mist is a special material that can quickly freeze any object it encounters.

The reactivated scarabs that miners encountered earlier were re-frozen and returned to a petrified state by it.

Now?

"Snap, snap..."

Cracks appeared on the frozen, crystalline surface, and to the horror of the others, countless beetles broke through the ice.

These black beetles are surprisingly not afraid of low temperatures.

"what!"

"Help!"

A scream rang out.

The mine guards, armed with guns, were covered in black beetles, and their screams abruptly ceased.

Barrow's eyesight was far superior to that of ordinary people, so he saw very clearly.

The black beetle swung its sharp forelimbs and its serrated teeth, tearing off a chunk of flesh with a sudden bite.

Even metal firearms and highly resilient protective suits were rendered useless by that terrifying bite force and were easily torn apart.

In just a few breaths, the figures engulfed by the black beetles were completely swallowed up.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Someone frantically pulled the trigger; bullets landed on the beetles, scattering a few sparks, at most repelling one or two.

And there were far more than a hundred or a thousand of them in the arena.

"Whoosh!"

Several black beetles suddenly leaped off the ground, faster than bullets, and instantly pierced the guard's body.

"Buzz..."

The black beetle trembled slightly after landing, and a pair of wings as thin as cicada wings extended from its back.

"They can fly!"

"Run!"

"what……"

These black beetles are so strong that they can withstand bullets, are incredibly fast and can fly, and are also incredibly numerous with an unbelievable bite force.

Even though Barrow was an extraordinary being, he turned pale in the face of this scene.

escape!

A group of people dropped what they were holding, turned around, and rushed back in the direction they had come from in a panic.

"Where's the door?"

"We've taken the wrong road!"

"There's a small path here, hurry up!"

A group of people were fleeing in panic as they were chased by black beetles, unaware that the reliefs around them were undergoing some changes.

Stone carvings depicting terrifying scenes were revealed after the black beetle detached.

The carving,

distortion!

confusion!

evil!

……

"Whoosh!"

A longsword appeared in Barrow's hand at some point; its slender blade looked more like a decorative ornament than a weapon used on the battlefield.

But as he brandished his longsword, a chilling sword aura surged forth, piercing through the encirclement of black beetles.

All he did was protect himself.

Looking back, I saw that my companions were almost completely engulfed by the black beetles.

"Damn it!"

As a qualified Night's Watchman, Barrow has witnessed many of his comrades being murdered in the past two years.

With a roar, he rationally chose to retreat.

…………

"Monica!"

"Blaze!"

In the chaos, a man and a woman held hands tightly and ran wildly in the direction where the black beetles were scarce.

"wrong!"

Monica, being no ordinary person, was the first to notice something was wrong:

"This is not the way we came."

"Hurry up," Blaise said urgently, pulling her along.

"There's no choice now."

Monica frowned, glanced back at the swarming black beetles, and reluctantly continued running after them.

"Huff... huff..."

Blaise was no longer a seventeen or eighteen-year-old; in his thirties, his health was already declining.

After such a frantic run, he was already panting heavily, his throat felt like it was on fire, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

"Oh……"

He glanced at Monica beside him, whose expression remained unchanged, and shook his head with a hint of envy:

"I never knew you had such a good constitution!"

"I exercise regularly." Monica looked around:

"Where is this?"

"I don't know." Blaise propped himself up, took out his phone from his pocket, turned on the flashlight, and looked around:

"Fortunately, those black beetles didn't catch up, so at least we don't have to worry about safety."

Monica shook her head slightly, but didn't say anything more, and just continued to move forward, feeling her way along the path.

Is there a cell phone signal?

"no."

"We need to find a way to get the information out."

"Yes."

"..."

Silence fell over the room.

The two haven't spent time alone together in a long time, or rather, not since their 'peaceful' breakup.

Now, in an unfamiliar environment and a confined space, the atmosphere has begun to become strange.

Monica.

Blaise opened his mouth:

"If we can't get out..."

"No, it won't." Monica said, feeling her way along the stone wall without turning her head.

"We will definitely get out."

"Hope," Blaise shrugged, leaning against the stone wall.

Why haven't you found a boyfriend all these years?

"This isn't the time to talk about these things." Monica turned around and looked at him seriously.

"We need to find a way out."

"Some things, if we don't say them now, we might never have the chance again," Blaise said.

"We were more than 500 meters underground. There was a dead end in front of us and those black beetles behind us."

"Monica..."

"We'll die! We'll die!"

?

Monica opened her mouth, then sighed helplessly:

Don't be so discouraged, there's still a chance.

"An opportunity?" Blaise shrugged.

"You've never given me a chance..."

"Be careful!"

Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he instinctively rushed forward to try and block Monica's way.

"bite……"

A crisp collision sound rang out.

A black beetle flew out of the darkness, rushing towards Monica like an arrow.

immediately,

A slender finger appeared in front of the black beetle and flicked it away.

The beetle, which even bullets couldn't penetrate, was shattered into pieces by those slender fingers.

?

Blaze watched this scene unfold and found Qian Chong frozen in place, his eyes filled with confusion.

Hallucination?

"Let's go."

Monica sighed:

"The way out we found."

"You..." Blaise's expression was one of astonishment:

"How did you do that?"

"Whoosh!"

"Pfft!"

Countless black lines shot out, which were actually black beetles lurking in the darkness.

"Be careful!"

Monica's expression changed drastically.

She wasn't worried about herself, but she knew that every black line that came her way could potentially kill Blaze.

"Whoosh!"

A cloud of blood mist appeared.

Dozens of palm-sized bats burst forth from the group, heading towards the attacking black beetles.

With a series of crackling sounds, Monica appeared, her face deathly pale, and grabbed Blaise as they ran.

"Hurry up!"

"boom!"

"Blood!" A deep roar echoed from the depths of darkness.

"What kind of blood is this? It can actually affect the restrictions set up by those old geezers."

"Ha ha……"

"mine!"

"It's mine!"
