This was Ling Xiao's suggestion, and it persuaded the other three as he knew that his current strength was not as he had shown it. Even when he was fighting against the Brute yesterday, he did not use his full strength.
Only by staying away from their line of sight would he be able to unleash his full strength and improve through the constant fighting.
Under the watch of Allens and the Long family brothers, Ling Xiao quickly walked away. The closer he got to the legendary Plated Beetle King's cave, the more cautious he became.
A peak level 1 beast should be Ling Xiao's strongest opponent since his rebirth. However, he didn't seek death by going up to fight head on. Instead, he decided to take a roundabout way to achieve his goal.
"Isn't it just stealing? Why are you making it sound so nice?" Gayaro sneered in Ling Xiao's mind.
Ling Xiao did not want to be outdone by this unreliable "Divine Beast" that always mocked him. While carefully observing the movements around him, he replied in his mind: "If someone didn't want the eggs of the Plated Beetle King in order to refine such a good pill, why would I take such a risk?"
While bickering, they approached the Plated Beetle King's lair.
It was a ten metre tall, twenty li long mountain. The inside of the mountain was already hollowed out by the Plated Beetle, becoming their headquarters.
Looking from afar, there were already many huge Plated Beetle waving their tentacles at the entrance of the mountain, moving something back and forth.
Ling Xiao continued to move closer without any change in his expression.
Due to the powder he sprinkled on his body which could interfere with the insect's smell, in the eyes of the Plated Beetle, Ling Xiao was only a slightly weird bug. These undeveloped insects didn't have the intention to mock and suppress their different companions. They only used their compound eyes to stare at him for a while before shifting their gaze.
Ling Xiao was covered in cold sweat. When he saw that the bugs were no longer paying attention to him, he realized that the powder was indeed useful.
It was time to test his acting skills.
Ling Xiao bent his body and imitated those bugs, twisting his body and walking towards the entrance of the cave. In order to be realistic, he even asked Gayaro for two long, black lines of herbs, pretending to have Plated Beetle tentacles on his head.
Amidst Gayaro's crazy laughter, Ling Xiao walked into the interior of the cave unscathed. This place was the heaven of the Plated Beetle.
Countless Plated Beetle of different sizes, shapes and colors were waving their tentacles. From Ling Xiao's point of view, it was a scene of demons dancing chaotically.
I hate bugs!
Ling Xiao pretended to be a Plated Beetle and thought.
Even if he didn't know what a phobia was, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
The thought that he might be dismembered by countless bugs kept threatening him, so Ling Xiao could only divert his attention and chat with Gayaro.
As Ling Xiao went deeper, he noticed that the number of beetles around the cave became fewer and fewer. Ling Xiao went deeper and noticed that the number of beetles around the cave became fewer and less.
Ling Xiao became more cautious. Under Gayaro's command, he accurately avoided the countless twisted forks in the road, and in the shortest time possible, arrived at the cave where the Plated Beetle King was.
As they walked, Ling Xiao suddenly realized that there was an open space in front of them. The narrow walkway was replaced by a cave that was more than ten meters tall.
The mouth of the cave was dark and he couldn't see anything. Ling Xiao didn't dare to bring out anything to light up the cave, so he could only walk forward based on his senses.
Luckily, Gayaro's unusually strong perception provided him with information: "Left, left, right, move a little smaller. It's right in front of you, and it doesn't look very energetic. You have a great chance."
The peak Level 1 Plated Beetle King was very strong, the only accident was that it would lay eggs once a year. Every time it laid an egg, she would lay an insect egg in the warm cave and reproduce with the next generation.
Ling Xiao only dared to stroke Level One Savage Beast's tentacles because he had investigated to this point.
Ling Xiao held his breath and did not dare to act excessively. After all, it was a peak level 2 beast. Even if it was weak, killing Ling Xiao would be as easy as killing a bug.
Closer and closer.
As the Plated Beetle King laid its eggs, Ling Xiao clenched his fists. Cold sweat gradually covered his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it away.
Under the extremely tense atmosphere, a clamor suddenly came from not too far away. This voice had obviously alarmed the Plated Beetle King who was resting. In the dark environment, four pairs of eyes slowly opened, shining with a faint light.
What's going on!
Ling Xiao, who was going to reach out to take one of the eggs, immediately retracted his hand and curled his body, not daring to move for fear of being discovered by the insect king.
The noise was getting closer and closer. Ling Xiao held his breath and listened carefully. He actually heard Long Yirann's voice!
They came into the cave? Doubt was plaguing his mind, but Ling Xiao was unable to ask and could only wait quietly.
A ray of glowing inner force flew from not too far away, directly rushing towards the Plated Beetle King. The inner strength that was infused with powerful energy hit the insect king's body, but it did not cause it any damage. The thick armor that was able to withstand the full power of the Seventh Level Martial Soldier helped it to dissipate all of its energy.
However, this provocative action clearly angered the Plated Beetle King.
It slowly stood up and moved its eight large pincers. In that moment, all the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the cave gathered towards it.
Ling Xiao tried his best to minimize the sense of existence.
This was the strength of a peak level one Savage Beast!
Ling Xiao's heart began to beat uncontrollably. If he didn't use Gayaro's power, he might be discovered the moment he entered the cave.
Loong Yizhu had his hands tied and was looking at the man who was conversing with Montela. This man who looked somewhat similar to Montela was the Eldest Young Master of the Longyang Trading Company, Montela's elder brother, Moncori.
He noticed Loong Yizhu's gaze, turned around and said with extreme disdain: "No matter if it's you, your brother, or even the entire Longxing Trading Company, they are all merely stepping stones for our family's rise! So what if he called for help? Your fiancée has become my woman! Today, let that old white haired man from your family send the black haired man away! "
Gayaro's hearing was very good, so he overheard Meng Ke's words. After the broadcast was broadcasted to Ling Xiao, he added: "As expected of a brother, his hateful actions are exactly the same." "He's not afraid of being slapped in the face like his little brother."
The Plated Beetle King naturally noticed the commotion over there. Its huge body started to stand up, and climbed up the cave walls with extremely inconsistent agile movements, quietly awaiting the arrival of its prey.
