In a low voice, Sacas explained, “A large swarm of Golden Corpse Bugs can polish off a Saint Domain Magical Beast in a matter of minutes. Therefore, they are highly dangerous entities!
“Unless I absolutely have to, I’d never come to this damned canyon to provoke those damned stinky bugs. They are simply too fearsome. The moment I imagine them crawling all over me and worming into my fur, I can’t help but shudder all over!”
“Haha! Look at how scared you are!” Meng Lei couldn’t help but laugh, though he also wondered, “Since every Golden Corpse Bug is a Ninth-Grade Magical Beast, with so many around, imagine the amount of money I can earn!”
Buzz, buzz!
Just as Meng Lei’s imagination was running wild, the golden cloud of Golden Corpse Bugs also finally flew over to them. Then, they came together to form a huge insect.
Standing at 100-meters-tall and with a greenish face and ferocious fangs, the huge insect looked as though it was a gigantic louse, except golden-yellow in color throughout and with a pair of wings on its back. Armor-plated all over, it was incredibly savage-looking!
“To think you actually dare to come to my Golden Corpse Canyon, Sacas! Bold of you to do so!”
In a thunderous voice, the huge insect spoke the human tongue and said, “Since you are so bold as to come here, then I shall eat you today so that you’ll know that the Golden Corpse Canyon isn’t a place where a big guy like you can enter! My little ones, gobble it up!”
Buzz, buzz!
The huge insect instantly dispersed and turned into a golden cloud that covered the entire sky and rushed toward Sacas!
Roar!
Sacas roared furiously into the sky, fully displaying its tyrannic stance. Yet it had no effect whatsoever on the Golden Corpse Bug cluster blotting out the sky. The insects dispersed at times, converged at times, morphed into a humanoid form at times...
In a mere instant, it’d already charged all the way to Sacas!
Roar!!
Sacas roared furiously and incessantly as its sharp claws swiped about here and there, smashing huge rocks around it in a haphazard manner. Yet despite its violent, raging power, it gave off a rather helpless feeling, as though a tiger that didn’t know how it should be eating a porcupine.
Indeed!
Against a cluster of tiny insects like that, what use was its wild and extreme physical strength?
Sacas was on the verge of being surrounded by the overwhelming masses of Golden Corpse Bugs. When that happened, it would end up like the rest of the broken carcasses lying forgotten at the bottom of the Golden Corpse Canyon—devoured by the Golden Corpse Bugs and then, rotting, decaying, and becoming the food of maggots and flies!
Just as that was about to happen...
“Absolute Zero!”
Meng Lei attacked at this point!
Crack!
A white, chilly air current burst forth and engulfed the large golden cloud, sealing it in ice amidst crisp-sounding cracks!
At the same time, the white, chilly air current also continued to spread toward the Golden Corpse Canyon. It sealed everything in its path in ice, including even the all-pervasive stench and carcasses.
A brief moment later, the Golden Corpse Canyon from earlier was no longer anywhere in sight. In its place was instead a vast white glacier.
... And of course, an infinite number of motionless Golden Corpse Bugs frozen in mid-air!
“They aren’t dead yet?”
Meng Lei was rather startled. There hadn’t been any notifications from the system—this showed that the ice-sealed Golden Corpse Bugs hadn’t died yet. The spell hadn’t frozen them to death—not a single one!
“Well, that’s amazing!” Meng Lei was filled with marvel at once.
“Golden Corpse Bugs are metal-elemental and ice-elemental Magical Beasts. They’re practically immune to spells of these two elements,” Ol’ Amos’ voice rang out at this point, “Absolute Zero can’t kill them!”
“No wonder!”
Meng Lei nodded slightly. “They might not be afraid of Absolute Zero, but what about Prairie-Blazing Heavenly Fire?”
Boom, boom, boom!
With a mere thought from him, large expanses of black flames immediately descended from the sky and engulfed the whole area within 1,000 meters of where they were, including the Golden Corpse Canyon behind him!
Everything in the black flames’ path was set ablaze—even the solid ice giving off an astonishing chill was no exception!
Crackle, crackle!
Upon being scorched, the solid ice surprisingly didn’t melt. Instead, they became the black flames’ fuel, making them burn even more violently.
Boom, boom, boom!
The flames blazed furiously.
“Ding! 1 Golden Corpse Bug killed, 10 million gold coins gained!”
“Ding! 1 Golden Corpse Bug killed, 10.01 million gold coins gained!”
“Ding...”
At once, system notifications began to ring out. On top of that, they rang out without any pause!
“That’s more like it!”
Meng Lei nodded in satisfaction.
“Damn! You bastard! How dare you slaughter my children! You should die for that!”
A voice that sounded like an owl’s hoot rang out. Then, a Golden Corpse Bug the size of a baby’s fist abruptly flew out of the cluster. It glared furiously at Meng Lei, its teeth gnashing as it did so.
“Boss, that’s Boris, the Golden Corpse Bug Emperor!”
The Multi-Armed Behemoth supplemented in a timely fashion at this point.
“The Golden Corpse Bug Emperor?” Meng Lei couldn’t help but look over.
A normal Golden Corpse Bug was pitifully tiny and only about the size of a date seed. However, that particular Golden Corpse Bug was dozens of times—even up to 100 times—the size of other Golden Corpse Bugs! It was as big as a human’s fist!
“That’s a Saint Domain Magical Beast?”
Meng Lei was astonished. “A fist-sized Saint Domain Magical Beast... That’s probably the smallest Saint Domain Magical Beast I’ve ever seen...”
Right at this point, two golden
