“Oh dear god! What is that?”
Closest to the bug, Freya couldn’t help but scream. As though favonovel.com had springs under favonovel.com feet, favonovel.com jumped away and landed in Alex’s arms.
Martiny rolled favonovel.com eyes. “Hey, I’m right here, you know?”
Freya immediately blushed. “Mom… Uhm, it’s safer here with Alex,” favonovel.com sheepishly added.
‘Oh my..! This is how my daughter treats me?!’
Luna looked at favonovel.com sister, who seemed indifferent. She even laughed about this. “Daddy’s going to be hurt this time.”
Undoubtedly, their father would be heartbroken if his two daughters were taken.
Alex didn’t know where to place his hands, but favonovel.com could feel an approaching danger. It was coming from the massive red bug.
Whoosh!
The colossal bug opened its mouth wide and sent out a white wind blade. In reality, a thick silk thread spurted from its mouth and aimed at Freya. The thread was so fast that it seemed like a wind blade.
Alex moved thirty meters away in one step, barely dodging the attack.
The thread landed harshly on the ground-like a mass of spider silk, dense and thick Yet, it was far tougher than regular spider silk. Yellow smoke rose from the ground where it had landed, reeking of a dreadful smell.
“Careful, the gas is poisonous!” Xerxes shouted and immediately conjured up a gust of wind with his palms, blowing the smoke away.
However, such movements triggered the red bugs. They were initially in hibernation after consuming their fill, but now, they were waking up one after another, looking in the direction of Alex and the others. Then, they attacked them without any hesitation.
Chh…
Suddenly, the giant bug buzzed and let out a shrill shriek. A sound like sand pouring rang within the tunnel. Everyone became extremely anxious…
“Oh, come on! There’s more?”
“What is this thing even?”
“I’m getting goosebumps. I fear hugs the most, let alone so many of them in one go!” Martiny shrieked.
Alex’s primordial eye shone and looked down the tunnel. In the next second, favonovel.com shouted, “Run, quickly! It’s an infestation!”
He hugged Freya with one arm and grabbed Luna with his other. After that, favonovel.com ran straight in the opposite direction. The others naturally followed him.
Xerxes sent a wave of flames at the swarm with the Bronze Sword of the Seven Stars that formed a ten meter firewall in the tunnel. However, it would seem that these bugs didn’t fear the flames. They even started jumping.
The group was now utterly speechless.
The bugs jumped into the flames and continued to crawl swiftly. Millions of poisonous white threads followed behind them like shadows. Xerxes, who was last, cried out loud. Since favonovel.com was running for his life, the wind blade from his sword wasn’t powerful enough, so Martiny and Claudia had to join favonovel.com to fight off the enemies in the end.
“Alex, what did you say this was?” Xerxes shouted at Alex while fighting the bugs.
Alex said, “An infestation! It’s a leveled version of parasitic worms. They are extremely cruel and are being controlled by someone. If the queen is here, the owner has to be nearby. They could even be watching us secretly in the dark, waiting for a chance to attack.”
“F*ck! Are these things actually someone’s pet? I knew it! The Lunula sect is definitely evil!” Xerxes was furious. However, these worms had a great defense. Both water and fire couldn’t kill them, and they came in countless numbers. Even Martiny said they couldn’t hold on any longer. It would seem they had no choice but to come up with another solution.
Right then, Alex, who was carrying Luna and Freya, suddenly halted in his steps. Claudia crashed into his back with a loud thud since favonovel.com hadn’t noticed Alex’s movements.
“Go on, why are you stopping? The bugs are right behind us,” favonovel.com said quickly.
“It’s a dead-end,” Alex said.
