Chapter 722 - 722 Killing the Beetles With Arrows
722 Killing the Beetles With Arrows
The biggest difference between this flame bug and a normal beetle was that the two front legs of the flame bug were like two big knives. When they waved their knives, it would make people shiver. No one would want to test whether the knives were sharp.
“Flame bug? This aura belongs to transcendent and legendary fierce beasts. Moreover, there are elites in the mythical realm.”
Li Xiang’s eyes flashed. As for whether this was a Bug race or fierce beasts, there was no need to be so clear. From the fierceness in their eyes, he could tell that these flame bugs were not kind.
The most important thing was that there were too many of them.
At that moment, thousands of flame bugs emerged from the dune. As soon as they appeared, they quickly chased the three people. The legs of these flame bugs were very suitable for walking in the desert. They moved quickly as if they were walking on flat ground. In the blink of an eye, they had caught up and were getting closer and closer to the three people.
As for the three of them, it was obvious that they had no other choice. They could only run in Li Xiang’s direction as fast as they could while anxiously shouting at Li Xiang, asking him to run with them.
“D*mn it! I’m unlucky this time to encounter flame bugs. These bugs live in groups. Running into one will alarm the whole group. These fellows can even fly!”
“I’m over! I’m afraid I can’t escape this time!”
“Hey, why aren’t you running? What are you standing there for? Those were flame bugs, and once you’re surrounded, even a mythical realm cultivator would die inside. They can breathe fire!”
When the three of them saw that Li Xiang was unmoved, their faces changed greatly.
This was because they realized that the person in front of them did not run away immediately. Instead, he stood there expressionlessly as if he did not see the flame bugs that were sweeping toward him.
Could it be that he had been scared silly by the scene in front of him?
Li Xiang didn’t listen to these people turn around and fled. These flame bugs were not qualified to make him run away.
With a flash of light, the battle sword disappeared and the God’s Annihilating Bow naturally appeared in his hand. He grabbed in the void, and a Runic Arrow appeared in his hand.
Drawing the bow and nocking the arrow, he did it in one go. He didn’t pull the bow to the full moon, only half a moon. He didn’t even pour in genuine Qi. He just pulled the bow with his physical strength and the Rune Arrow in his hand instantly flew out.
Whoosh!
The battle arrow shot through the air, flashing with a green light. It was unbelievably fast. The three cultivators only felt a stream of light passing by their ears, and their clothes were blown up by the strong wind, making fluttering sounds.
It was too fast, so fast that they couldn’t even react before it disappeared.
They subconsciously turned around to take a look. It made them feel extremely shocked.
The battle arrow hit one of the flaming bugs and went through its head. It went into its body and shot out from the back, hitting another flaming bug behind it. The arrow landed on its shell and even pierced through it.
At the place where it was pierced through, blood and flesh exploded.
The huge power brought about violent destructive power. The bugs that were hit exploded into pieces of flesh.
“How can this be?”
“What a domineering archery skill! The power contained in this arrow can kill two bugs!”
“Two birds with one stone! If it was me, I wouldn’t have been able to dodge it and would have been killed instantly. What a powerful archery skill! It’s almost impossible to survive while facing such a skill.”
The three of them felt their hair stand on end as they broke out in cold sweats.
If they had been in the bugs’ place, they felt that they would have been instantly killed by the battle arrow. They wouldn’t even have had the chance to react.
“What a fast arrow!”
However, something even more shocking happened.
This time, three battle arrows appeared in Li Xiang’s hands. He put them on his battle bow at the same time and shot three arrows at once. Three streams of light flashed and another six flame bugs were killed.
During this process, Li Xiang didn’t stop at all. His movements were smooth, natural, and agile.
He nocked the bow and shot again.
In a breath’s time, battle arrows were shot out like lightning. Like a machine gun, streams of bright light streaked across the sky and fell to the ground like a meteor shower.
However, it was a bloody scene among the flaming bugs.
One by one, the flame bugs were shot and killed. In just a few breaths, hundreds of bugs were killed.
Hiss…
This terrifying shooting technique and the dense number of deaths shocked the flame bugs. With a sharp cry, the flame bugs quickly retreated and turned back into the desert, leaving only a pile of corpses lying in the desert.
The group of flame bugs was frightened by Li Xiang’s archery and retreated immediately. This might have something to do with the flame bugs’ nature of bullying the kind and fearing the evil.
Once these insects encountered a strong enemy and felt threatened, their morale would quickly collapse. They would unconsciously be defeated, and they would almost have no real will to fight.
Of course, a united race would probably fight to the death.
“That’s amazing! Although the flame bugs are a little timid and will run away when they meet a strong enemy, it’s incredible that they can retreat so easily.”
“What a powerful cultivation base and combat strength! He’s a powerhouse for sure. He’s certainly above the transcendent realm, at least above the legendary realm.”
At this moment, a thought of amazement flashed through the minds of a few people at the same time.
“Thank you for your help, friend. Otherwise, I’m afraid we would’ve been dead today. Once we’re surrounded by the flame bugs, it’s almost impossible to escape.” The three of them came in front of Li Xiang, cupped their hands, and thanked him.
“You’re welcome. These flame bugs aren’t just after you but they’re also after me. I was only saving myself.” Li Xiang didn’t take the credit and calmly asked, “By the way, I came here by accident. I wonder where this place is, and where is the nearest gathering place.”
He didn’t hide his identity as a newcomer and spoke bluntly. There was nothing to hide, and the most important thing was to get the information as quickly as possible.
“So you just appeared in the Golden Desert, no wonder you don’t know. This desert is called the Golden Desert. As for how big it is, no one can say for sure.”
“Yes, but the desert is not barren. There are still humans. Furthermore, there are a large number of sandworms in the desert, as well as all kinds of ferocious birds, wolves, and all kinds of fierce beasts. There is also the foreign race called the Sandmen race.”
“Yes, there’s also an oasis in the desert. Oasis is the most lively area in the desert, where most creatures in the desert gathering. The most famous one was none other than Jingjue City. The oasis is quite far from here, and it won’t be easy to get there. However, there were still Human race settlements nearby. We’ll take you there, it’s not far away.”
The three of them seemed to be very talkative. They casually introduced what they knew and were even willing to lead the way.
