Chapter 1922 381: Rhinoceros Beetle
The Profound Immortal Realm expert locked in the last room couldn't keep attacking endlessly.
They also had to deal with the endless poisonous bugs crawling towards them, until they could free up their hands.
The woman in red recognized these poisonous bugs at a glance; they were none other than the incredibly hard-shelled rhinoceros beetles.
Due to their heavy bodies, although they had wings, they couldn't fly.
The poison of the rhinoceros beetle was quite strong, but for cultivators from higher world planes, it wasn't that potent, so these creatures weren't very popular in higher planes.
She also had more toxic things, but cultivating in the World of All Things, she still needed such poisons, so she went against the grain and stored a few rhinoceros beetles in her Immortal Ring.
Everyone who saw her action thought she was crazy and reckless.
If they were bitten by a rhinoceros beetle, it would be too late for regrets.
The woman in red didn't care about these timid people.
After collecting enough rhinoceros beetles, she clapped her hands contentedly, then took out a bottle of powder and swiftly sprinkled it towards the room.
Instantly, all the rhinoceros beetles that were attacking everyone retreated at once, not daring to come out again.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.
They didn't expect this woman to actually have the means and tools to expel the rhinoceros beetles.
But since there was a way to rescue, why not bring it out earlier? Why wait until so many had died before taking action? Is it to weaken their power? Isn't that too ruthless?
After saving this group, the woman in red reminded them, "I saved you all, so if I find the Constellation Beads later, don't fight me for them."
"Who are you, and why do you have the means to expel such poisonous bugs?" someone inquired.
"None of your business, just remember what I said," the woman in red replied.
"Why didn't you bring it out at the start?" they continued to press.
"How would I know what kind of poisonous bugs these are without observing them?" The woman in red rolled her eyes and replied irritably.
If it weren't for the opponent's strength, she wouldn't even bother with these people.
No one could say anything, but they all felt that the woman in red did it intentionally.
With the poisonous bugs scattered, everyone focused on searching for the Constellation Beads and the treasures of this cave master.
But just as they lifted their feet, numerous flying rhinoceros beetles suddenly emerged around the room.
These rhinoceros beetles seemed more powerful, harder to kill, and more toxic.
Seeing this scene, the previously calm woman in red couldn't help but panic.
She originally assumed that all the rhinoceros beetles in this room couldn't fly, but it seemed the real drama was yet to come.
It appeared that this cave master was indeed very thorough in his calculations, not wanting outsiders to easily take his belongings.
Not only was she anxious, but everyone else in the room was also frantic: "Hey! Take out the powder and sprinkle it, why are you just standing there?"
"If I had more, I would've brought it out already, why wait until now?" the woman in red replied with irritation.
She only had one bottle of powder and didn't prepare more.
The crowd was speechless, knowing that this young lady was unreliable.
Now, with disaster looming, their only option was to desperately attack the Stone Gate.
Zhang Yaoyao was terrified to the extreme.
Her realm wasn't high enough to fend off these poisonous bugs.
If these bugs landed on her, she would be dead for sure.
The only one who could save her was the elder of her organization; luckily, her second uncle came as well, or else she wouldn't know what to do.
"Boom boom boom!"
The attacks on the Stone Gate became more intense, and cracks began to appear on the Prohibition Formation above it.
Witnessing the previously silent Stone Gate suddenly erupt with great commotion, Lin Yifan outside the door felt that something huge was happening inside, but he didn't know what kind of monsters were causing trouble.
Flying rhinoceros beetles were harder to deal with than crawling ones. Not only were they difficult to resist, but also hard to defend against being stung or bitten.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of Great Immortal Realm experts were poisoned to death, further weakening the various powers.
"Ah ah ah!"
Hearing the continuous heart-wrenching screams from inside the room, Lin Yifan shuddered.
Fortunately, he remained a follower throughout, or else he would have faced this life-threatening crisis.
"What exactly is it that can kill so many experts?"
In his confusion, the Prohibition Formation covering the Stone Gate, full of cracks, suddenly collapsed with a bang.
Without the Prohibition Formation's protection, the fragile Stone Gate couldn't withstand a single blow.
With a loud "rumble," the tightly closed Stone Gate was shattered, and a group of panic-stricken people came rushing out.
This group continuously waved their weapons, defending against the attacks of the flying bugs; but the scene was chaotic no matter how you looked at it.
Besides, this group already had quite a few rhinoceros beetles crawling on them, some even bitten.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
A swarm of flying poisonous bugs followed this group out, relentlessly pursuing them.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yifan was nearly shocked into speechlessness.
This swarm was terrifying, densely packed like ravenous locusts.
"Could it be these things that killed so many cultivator experts in the room?"
It must be so.
With such capabilities, they certainly weren't ordinary, and he needed to be cautious in his actions.
The escaped cultivators fled out of the Immortal's Cave Mansion in a hurry, without time or thought to observe their surroundings.
After both the group and the rhinoceros beetles left, Lin Yifan quietly stepped out from a nearby room and then entered the final room.
Scanning the surroundings, finding no sign of those fearsome flying poisonous bugs, he quickly searched for the Constellation Beads.
The room wasn't large, but after searching through it, he only found some Martial Arts Secret Manuals and weapons, with nothing else discovered.
The Constellation Beads definitely weren't in such an obvious place, so he tapped on the surrounding walls, checking for hidden compartments, layers, passages, or secret chambers.
As he tapped on, suddenly he heard crawling sounds from within the wall.
The sounds were like countless bugs crawling, eerily disturbing.
"Could this be where these flying poisonous bugs hide and live?"
With this thought, he couldn't help but get chills, somewhat hesitant to knock further.
However, without knocking, how could he find the Constellation Beads?
In his indecision, he suddenly noticed something different.
This spot didn't have the crawling sounds of bugs, suggesting it was a safe area.
He hurried over to tap on it, checking if it was as he guessed.
After a few taps, he found it indeed was so.
Inside was a small hidden compartment, about the size of a palm.
Delighted, he quickly took down a seemingly sturdy, in fact, loose green brick.
"Scratch!"
After removing it, a hidden compartment appeared in front of him, containing a wooden box; he guessed it might contain the Constellation Beads.
So he immediately took it out.
As he reached into the compartment, two rhinoceros beetles suddenly emerged, biting his hand in an instant.
