2234: C2234 Mutated Metal-devouring Bug

C2234 Mutated Metal-devouring Bug

On the ground used to build the Blood Moon Pavilion, Ye Hong Tian brought Zi Ming here. Ye Hong Tian had used the Law of Earth to reorganize the ground, so there was no trace of it being dug out.

"We'll go down from here. Follow me closely." Ye Hong Tian stepped on the ground and said.

Zi Ming hurriedly nodded. Just as he was wondering how Ye Hongtian would go underground, Ye Hongtian released a dense aura of the Earth Law. Then, a large pit appeared on the ground.

The two fell into the pit. It was very deep. It was caused by Ye Hongtian removing the Law of Earth that the Jun Family martial artist had blocked the cave entrance back then. This pit was the path that the Jun Family martial artist had used to find treasures.

Soon, the two landed at the bottom of the pit. To martial artists, this place couldn't be considered too deep.

There were four passageways around them, heading to the east, south, and west respectively. From this, it could be seen how much manpower and energy the Jun Family had expended to search for treasures under Gold Coin City.

"There are so many paths. Which one do you want to take?" Ye Hong Tian asked Zi Ming.

Zi Ming fell into deep thought when he heard this, and it was extremely difficult for him to make a choice. In the end, he gave this choice to Ye Hongtian with all his might.

Ye Hongtian also hated this choice. He released his soul force to sense every passageway. There was almost no difference. He simply didn't take any of the passageways. He used the Law of Earth to dig a big hole in the wall.

"Let's sit over here."

After saying that, Ye Hongtian started to dig deeper. He was proficient in the Law of Earth, and his understanding of the Law of Earth was no less than that of a sage expert who specialized in the Law of Earth. It was too easy for him to dig a tunnel.

The wall that he touched would collapse immediately. The rare minerals would fall to the ground. However, those minerals were useless for Ye Hong Tian. So, he didn't collect them.

After digging for more than a quarter of an hour, the wall in front of Ye Hongtian was dug through and they came to a tunnel that the Jun Family had once dug out.

Looking around, there was the breath of living creatures on both sides, which made Ye Hongtian feel a little surprised.

"There are living creatures?" Zi Ming, who was behind him, asked in confusion.

Ye Hong Tian nodded and said, "Yes, there are not many of them. Most of them have the strength of around the third level of the Awakening Realm. Logically speaking, there should not be living creatures here. After all, I have just cleared these passageways."

If not for him removing the Earth Laws that the Jun Family martial artists used to fill these passageways back then, this place would still be filled with earth blocks. Not long after he removed those Earth Laws, a living creature appeared. This was clearly not normal.

"Let's go take a look. Perhaps there is a passage here that the Jun Family martial artist hasn't filled up, or perhaps there is a naturally formed passage."

After thinking for a bit, Ye Hong Tian decided to approach and take a look at the situation of those creatures. With the strength of those creatures, he and Zi Ming approached. Those creatures couldn't be discovered, even if they did, with their strength, they wouldn't be in danger.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

As he slowly approached those creatures, he could hear something similar to a mouse gnawing on something when he was still some distance away.

The mirror image of Yin and Yang activated. There was a corner in front of him. Those creatures seemed to be around the corner. He could not see what kind of creature they were.

He walked again and only when he reached the corner did Ye Hong Tian see a kind of insect that looked like a unicorn beetle. However, it was the size of a human!

"Insect?"

"It seems to be a mutated Gold Devouring Beetle, a descendant of the Gold Blood Scarabs. However, the bloodline of the Gold Blood Scarabs is too weak, and can only be born from minerals. Their digestive ability is very fast, and they can lie on the ores and eat them all day long. "

He immediately recognized the species of these beetles and told Zi Ming the general information. With a wave of his hand, several spatial blades slashed out, directly killing the Gold Devouring Beetles here, leaving only one behind.

This Metal-devouring Beetle didn't care about the deaths of its own kind at all, and continued to nibble on the minerals in front of it.

When Ye Hong Tian shattered the minerals it ate, the Metal-devouring Beetle began to panic, continuously flapping its thin wings.

The wall formed by a large amount of minerals in front of it was broken by the huge horn on its head after the metal-devouring bug flew up. There was a tunnel behind it that Ye Hongtian did not sense.

The Gold Devouring Beetle flew into the tunnel. It was very dark inside, and Ye Hongtian soon couldn't see the Gold Devouring Beetle.

Looking at this dim passageway, Ye Hong Tian's eyes revealed a trace of excitement. Through some details, he determined that this passage wasn't excavated by the Jun Family martial practitioners. It might be naturally formed, or it could be that someone had already dug out this passage before the Jun Family came looking for treasure.1

"According to this trend, we might really be able to find treasure!" Ye Hong Tian's lips twitched as he said.

"Then why are you still standing here? Hurry up and follow me!"

Zi Ming urged from the side. Then, he condensed flames and smashed it against the wall in front of him. The wall that had been created by the Gold Devouring Beetles completely collapsed.

The two of them entered the tunnel and followed the aura left behind by the Metal-devouring Bug. Soon, they saw the Metal-devouring Bug that had just escaped.

And there wasn't only this Metal-Devouring Beetle here. They seemed to have arrived at a Metal-Devouring Beetle habitat, and a large number of Metal-Devouring Beetles were lying on the ground, hanging on the wall above their heads, and some of the exposed ores.

Ye Hongtian was once again surprised by the scene before him. The records of Metal-devouring Bugs in his memories didn't mention that they would stockpile ores.

Although Metal-devouring Bugs were used to living in groups, they would only immediately swallow the minerals they found. And the Gold Devouring Beetles he saw now not only had their bodies greatly changed, but also their bodies. They were completely different from the records in the ancient books.

Moreover, some of the Metal-devouring Bugs' cultivation had already reached the peak of the Awakening Realm. This had already exceeded the limits of the Metal-devouring Bugs recorded in the ancient books. It could even be said that they were the batch of Metal-devouring Bugs with the highest cultivation in history.

The changes of the Gold Devouring Beetles here were too strange, allowing the Gold Devouring Beetles, who could at most possess the strength of the seventh level of the Awakening Realm, to reach the peak of the Awakening Realm. The thing that caused these Metal-devouring Bugs to mutate was very likely the treasure they were looking for.

"The thing that the Jun Family spent so much effort searching for today is going to be accidentally found by me? It can't be that lucky, right? Will the Jun Family's Patriarch die from anger? " Ye Hong Tian said with a smile.

The Gold Devouring Beetles at the peak of the Awakening Realm were not a problem for Ye Hongtian. He released his soul energy to cover the entire area.

Beneath the pile of ores, Ye Hongtian sensed an unusual energy fluctuation and immediately strode over.
