After receiving this attack, the Giant Black Scorpion was still alive, but it was already close to death.

  As he moved onwards, Wei Xiao Bei had already killed 6 Giant Black Scorpions and was once again in the vicinity of the fiery red mountain range.

  If Wei Xiao Bei had wasted a bit more time in the valley, he would have obtained even more evolution points.

  However, he was much more concerned about the Yong’s corpse. He wanted to see if he could possibly gain more benefits from it. As a result, he temporarily gave up on farming more evolution points.

  When Wei Xiao Bei arrived at the spot of the corpse, he gloomily noticed that the 5 meter tall Yong had turned into skeleton. It looked as if a single touch would be enough to make the entire skeleton collapse, becoming bones fragments that could even be carried away by the wind.

  Bone fragments like that did not have any worth.

  Wei Xiao Bei did not know if this was a change caused by The Dust World or because of some other kind of monster.

  Before Wei Xiao Bei could to decide whether to advance or return back, he saw a sand dune 1000 meters away suddenly collapse. Soon, a field of bronze colored thing moved towards the fiery red mountain range.

  Bronze colored?

  When the bronze colored thing was about 500 meters away from him, Wei Xiao Bei made out that it was made up of many bugs.

  Could this be similar to the beetles that appeared in Lake Cui?

  If they were like those black beetles from Lake Cui, he was not too worried. After all, an individual black beetle was weak. The only reason why he was a little worried about the black beetles, was because of their numbers.

  However, regardless whatever he thought, Wei Xiao Bei did not dare lower his guard. He ran parallel to the bronze beetles. Because the color was different to the black beetles, when they were 200 meters apart, he was able to clearly see the beetles’ appearance.

  Compared to the black beetles hidden in Lake Cui, these beetles looked more like beetles. Their entire body was covered in shiny carapace. Their six legs also each appeared to be powerful and robust. Their mouths also had pincers on them but their body size seemed to be much bigger than the size of the black beetles.

  Every beetle was as big as two human fists!

  Wei Xiao Bei lightly poked the group of beetles with his great spear. After hitting one of them, the beetle immediately split open. Wei Xiao Bei was then able to get their names from the battlelog.

  Battlelog:……

  You encountered 1-Star Elite Creature Sacred Beetle Descendant……

  You killed a Sacred Beetle Descendant

  Sacred Beetle Descendant!

  Wei Xiao Bei’s mind began to dig deep into his memory and found the origin of the sacred beetles.

  Whether it was reality or legends, these sacred beetles exist.

  In reality, these Sacred Beetles were a famous dung beetle. Their food was human excrement, making them one of nature’s greatest contributor.

  In Egyptian legends, Sacred Beetles were creatures that symbolized rebirth.

  In ancient Egypt, when pharaohs were buried, a stone scarab would be placed over their heart. The purpose was hoping that their pharaohs would be reborn like the Sacred Beetle.

  In relation to Christianity, Scarabs were also high creatures. Some said that while Jesus was nailed on the cross, he held onto a small beetle that was bathed in his blood. As a result, it had gained holy powers!

  As a result, the word ‘sacred’ was added to its name.

  These beetles that were moving like a tide were most likely descendants of descendants of the Sacred Beetle.

  As a 1-Star Elite Class Creature, the sole beetle had provided him with 5 evolution points!

  5 Evolution points, no matter how small it sounded, should not simply be underestimated.

  It must be known that even if they were 1-Star Elite Class Creatures, they were still beetles. The black beetles that came out from Lake Cui had only given him 0.25 evolution points, and these Sacred Beetle Descendants gave him a lot more.

  When Wei Xiao Bei previously thrusted his great spear, even though he did not use that much force, he was still able to feel the huge rebound from the carapace.

  The force behind a thrust from Wei Xiao Bei was not at all small. If it was a normal person, their full power thrust would be equivalent to a simple thrust from him.

  In other words, a normal person would need to use their full force to be able to kill one of the Sacred Beetle Descendants.

  Compared to the black beetles in Lake Cui, these Sacred Beetle Descendants were much more powerful.

  However, Wei Xiao Bei did not have the time to explore this matter any further.

  After he attacked, the beetles increased their speed. Their originally slow crawling pace increase by several fold. In a few breaths, they had crawled under Wei Xiao Bei’s feet and some of them even climbed up Wei Xiao Bei’s tattered pants. When one of the beetles touched his skin, it did not hesitate at all and fiercely bit on his leg.

  Tear!

  Wei Xiao Bei could not help suck in cold air. He stamped on the ground and retreated 20 meters from the beetle infested ground. At the same time, he swatted the 8 beetles that had been clinging onto his legs.

  After inspecting the injury, there was only a small incision due to the limitations on the beetle’s jaw. By the time he looked at it, it had already closed up after letting out a bit of blood and it did not seem to be poisonous.

  Naturally, if he had given the beetles more time, then it still would not have been a problem even if they tore off a piece of his flesh.

  From what he saw, eliminating the beetles surely and steadily was the best way to gain evolution points.

  However, he quickly gave up this thought after surveying his surroundings.

  The tide of beetles that was moving toward the fiery red mountain range had reached a length of more than 3000 meters and a width of more than 300 meters.

  In other words, if Wei Xiao Bei escaped now, he would have a chance to leave, but if he stayed and fought with them, he would die without any chance of escape.

  Luckily, Wei Xiao Bei was not an indecisive person. He instantly chose to turn around and head towards the fiery red mountain range, moving diagonally to the tide of beetles.

  From his calculations, if there were no accidents on the way, he would be able to reach the mountain before the beetles.

  Naturally, the danger and risks of the place was not small. After all, other than the Scarlet Pheasant, there were also much more dangerous creatures around the mountain range. And Wei Xiao Bei had already known about this fact.

  Thump thump thump, rustle rustle rustle. Wei Xiao Bei dragged the great spear as he continued to charge forward. Looking at him from any perspective, his actions were incredibly dangerous.

  20-30 meters away from Wei Xiao Bei, the bronze tide was sweeping over everything, covering everything in sight.

  When a Giant Black Scorpion suddenly popped up in fright, it had instantly been covered by the beetles as soon as it appeared. The sound of chewing could instantly be heard, and the scorpion’s erect tail at the same time, had instantly dropped down. When the tide passed, only a few pieces of hard carapace was left.

  Although the Giant Black Scorpion was an inferior being in Wei Xiao Bei’s eyes, it was still a terrifying monster in reality. If let the chance, it could even kill 7-8 people in a single breath.

  However, in front of the Sacred Beetle Descendants, these kinds of terrifying monsters were just dregs that vanished in an instant.

  Wei Xiao Bei knew that if he fell on the tide of beetles, his end would be too horrifying to imagine.

  These Sacred Beetle Descendants could not be compared to normal dung beetles at all. With their strength, even the Giant Black Scorpion’s steel like carapace was gnawed clean by them.

  Moreover, they seemed to be resistant to poison. After eating the Giant Black Scorpions, none of them seemed to have died.

  However, Wei Xiao Bei did not have time to ponder their might anymore. He did not dare stop moving at all. In fact, everytime he moved, grains of sand would actually fly behind him solely due to his speed.

  Wei Xiao Bei was able to travel a few kilometers in just a short amount of time. The closer he got to the mountain range, the higher the temperature became.

  When he was about 50 meters from the mountain range, the air temperature had increased to about 60 degrees Celsius.

  This temperature was enough to make the majority of people feel scalding.

  Even Wei Xiao Bei could feel that the air he was breathing in was like boiling water.

  From this, it was easy to know that those Mercenaries were truly elites. Their bodies could endure such a temperature and had even moved towards the mountain range as they escaped for their lives. Naturally, this was done for survival, so letting out potential that normally would be impossible was natural.

  One step, two steps, three steps!

  When the tide of beetles were about to make it to the fiery red mountain range, Wei Xiao Bei too, took large strides towards the mountain. His body soared as he landed on the mountain wall. He relied on his balance and moved 100 meters along the mountain wall. When he landed on the ground, he had just narrowly escaped the beetles’ tide of death.

  When he landed on the ground, Wei Xiao Bei felt a sharp pain on his foot. His originally worn out sports shoes were now emitting a strange smell.

  Just as he was taking off his sports shoes, a small group of beetles from the tide of beetles that had began climbing the mountain, moved toward him.

  The injury below his foot was not that severe as there were only a few blisters. Wei Xiao Bei used the dagger t cut off the blisters and the wounds immediately closed. He would only need a few hours for the injury to fully heal.

  The temperature of the mountain had exceeded Wei Xiao Bei’s estimate. At the very least, it seemed to be more than 200 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, no matter how worn out his sports shoes were, the mountain wall would normally not be able to melt it.

  However, Wei Xiao Bei did not care about the injury anymore, because at this time, a portion of the beetles were coming towards him.

  Without a doubt, Wei Xiao Bei was like a delicacy in this barren desert for them. So they naturally, were reluctant to let him escape.
