“What? Kneel down?”
Everyone was confused as they completely did not understand what Chen Xiaobei meant. Did he mean squatting? Why did it turn to kneeling? However at this moment, death was rapidly approaching so almost half of them knelt without a second thought. Lin Qisi who was acting all high and mighty earlier was grovelling in fear, almost wetting himself.
Suddenly, a mysterious occurrence happened, astonishing everyone! A dazzling golden glow was emitted from Chen Xiaobei’s raised hand. The mysterious green flames in the sky that were originally about to come crashing down and burn everyone to ash froze, suspended in mid-air after the golden shimmer appeared!
Through the mysterious green flames, everyone could see clearly that the golden shimmer was actually a golden beetle! It looked like it was clad in golden armor and that golden bug had sharp angular edges around its body. Although it was only a size of a coin, it was ferocious!
“Roar!”
The golden bug aggressively bared its hook-like fangs. Despite its small body, it was capable of producing such a thunderous roar! At the same time, the golden shimmer flew into the air as it was being set on fire. It put on a fierce look and this was the phantom of the Twelve Wings Golden Cicada! Its tiny body contradicts its intense powerful roar.
“Wow… Such a frightening insect…”
Everyone gasped in shock; their hearts raced and their pupils dilated. Both strong-willed and weak-willed were breathing heavily, their foreheads covered with sweat. To think that these elites of Six Doors were mystified by a tiny golden bug! It was simply unimaginable. Chen Xiaobei’s command to kneel was not directed at the crowd but to the mysterious green flames in the sky!
*Buzz*
The sound of buzzing was diminishing as the countless Infernal Flying Beetles were smashed to the ground! Their wingbeat started to slow down and their limbs started to shake. In addition, their greenish glow was flickering out. They were like a group of plebeians in fear and they were now worshipping their mighty emperor!
It was the Twelve Wings Golden Cicada! This ancient fierce bug was immersed with authority and grandeur! That even Yuanshi Tianzun regarded it as a treasure!
Chen Xiaobei had to take a leap of faith in this situation of life and death. In a flash, countless of those Infernal Flying Beetles were crouching on the ground.
Among the Six Doors members, only Luo Puti and the three deputy chief inspectors still maintained their squatting position. The rest were crouching on the ground shivering, not daring to let out a breath.
“Everything is okay now, now get into the cave immediately!” Chen Xiaobei ordered them. He then used Zoolingualism that was unknown to everyone and spoke to the Twelve Wings Golden Cicada, “Little one, order these Infernal Flying Beetles to follow me!”
“Yes!”
The Twelve Wings Golden Cicada responded and it released a soft cry to the surroundings.
Just like an emperor giving a command, the entire swarm of Infernal Flying Beetles followed and flew out of the surface! They were like a well-trained army and followed Chen Xiaobei’s footsteps and flew to a far distance.
Seeing that Chen Xiaobei and the mysterious glow in the sky were far away, the crowd finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Oh my god… That was just too scary… I thought I was going to be dead for sure…”
“Yes… With that many Infernal Flying Beetles, we would still be dead even if we had ten lives to spare!”
“It’s all thanks to Mr. Chen! Without him, we would have died here!”
“Yes! Mr. Chen is just too amazing! He ordered those bugs to kneel! He reversed the whole situation around! He truly is a god!”
“Everyone must treat him a little better when he returns, he is our savior!”
Most of them could distinguish between good and bad. Their contempt towards Chen Xiaobei had been dispelled as they were truly grateful for his help in saving their lives.
Even Luo Puti sighed in relief. In the beginning, she resented Chen Xiaobei for his weak cultivation, thinking that bringing him along would be dangerous. However, looking at how things were, if Chen Xiaobei did not follow her, they would all be dead even if she had her own combat power combined with the members of Six Doors!
Of course, they were also a few of them who were not touched by his actions but instead wanted to cause harm to him.
“Wasn’t it just a golden beetle releasing its dreadful aura that scared away those Infernal Flying Beetles? What’s so great about that? He is still useless in strength and I can kill him with one hand!” Lin Qisi said in a low voice.
“Master Lin! Don’t forget about our plan!” Ouyang Jingxin solemnly said, “You must resist! Don’t give up now! Strike only when we are done with the mission!”
“That’s right! We want the Xiangxi Phantom Lord! And we want to sleep with Luo Puti too! Then we’ll murder them! For this ultimate goal, you have to remain calm!” Lin Nutao and Wang Poqiong snickered as the aura of evil started to ooze out of them.
These four bastards did not acknowledge Chen Xiaobei’s act of kindness and even wanted revenge on him! They were cruel and ungrateful!
At that moment, Chen Xiaobei was hidden from everyone’s view.
“I order all of you to go inside!”
Chen Xiaobei took out his phone and kept the Infernal Flying Beetles that were in the sky into his treasure chest! These voodoo bugs were extremely lethal and they could be useful in the future! He could just imagine when encountering a strong enemy; releasing a swarm of these beetles would instantly conclude the battle! To a certain extent, Chen Xiaobei conquering these Infernal Flying Beetles was the same as him receiving a powerful magic tool! They were capable of killing and burning corpses to ash! He could save the Body Dissolving Potion as well!
Finally, Chen Xiaobei left one of the biggest Infernal Flying Beetles and used Zoolingualism to ask, “Did the Xiangxi Phantom Lord raise all of your groups of Infernal Flying Beetles?”
That big beetle was the king of the Infernal Flying Beetles. Even so, it feared the Twelve Wings Golden Cicada’s ferociousness, it did not dare to spout nonsense and quickly said, “No, I don’t know what’s a Xiangxi Phantom Lord. Our species has been here for about hundreds of years and we were passed down from generations to generations that we are not aware of who our owner is anymore.”
“Hundreds of years? Did you exist during the time of the Tang Dynasty?” Chen Xiaobei was surprised.
The king of Infernal Flying Beetles said, “I’m not sure what dynasty it is but I only know that our species has stayed here for generations to protect this cave!”
“Spiritual Qi!” Chen Xiaobei’s eyes were glowing at this moment.
His Spiritual Qi was the same as strength to him! And strength was what he wanted most! He had personally raised voodoo bugs like these too and he was very clear that in order to bring out their spiritual abilities, they would have to consume a lot of Spiritual Qi! These three raised insects already consumed ten South Pole Spiritual Jade Fruits! It was only possible to raise this many Infernal Flying Beetles with a huge amount of Spiritual Qi!
“I must find the source of Spiritual Qi!”
Chen Xiaobei narrowed his eyes and looked at the cave from afar. “This is the biggest opportunity!”
