Chapter 448: The Bugs Were Gone!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Human howling echoed through the underground remains every now and then. It was the desperate cry when one’s life was drawn out of his body as beetle poison set in.

Even the Class C Practitioners’ armor was not always foolproof. Sooner or later, their protection would be compromised as their mana ran out over time.

Thus, occasionally Class B experts of various big organizations had no alternative but to shield their members from life-threatening dangers.

They were not cold-blooded reptiles either. Besides, who would still follow them if all their men died during the first remains expedition?

People were not stupid. Understandably they were more willing to obey leaders who took their safety into consideration. Otherwise, what was the point of following them?

Class B moves never failed to surprise. Fully concentrated, Howard unleashed his full power. Now, amidst the bug flood, he surrounded himself with a ball of flames that turned from red to white, emitting intense heat. Before they could reach his vicinity, countless beetles had already been melted in the heat, which burned the ground into transparent fluid!

Suddenly, the ten plus fiery phoenixes summoned by Howard combined into one, whose wingspan was as wide as six meters. A flap of its flaming wings instantly set a large swathe of bugs ablaze!

“If a Class B is already so powerful, how about Class A’s?”

“The glory of ancient myths is likely to return in the future. Are they the reincarnation of Gods...”

“No. They are the founders of a new legend, and we all are inside this myth...”

“Eh? Look! A person downstream pinned down the entire bug wave on his own! Could he be a hidden Class A?!”

An individual Practitioner recognized the golden glow. He replied with a complicated look on his face, “Not a Class A. He’s a mentally twisted expert who likes to watch us digging earth...”

Other individual Practitioners were stunned. What kind of hobby was that?

On Lu Shu’s side, his efficiency of killing bugs could not be compared to those big organizations. In the lapse of time, the downstream area was still infested with bugs while the sight upstream was more hopeful...

On a brighter note, his divine water had almost doubled in size, comparable to an entire public bathroom!

Since the situation upstream was under control, some organizations came over to help. The Pledge expert went downstream as well, his expression cold as ice. Yet, his main target was not the beetles, but Lu Shu!

It was time to avenge his comrades!

Indeed, it was a perfect opportunity for him. Trapped in swarms of bugs, who would notice whether Lu Shu was secretly attacked? After all, the stakes were too high to kill him outside the remains.

The Pledge leader was very cautious. He knew Lu Shu was at least one of the top few Class C’s since he could even defeat a weakened Nogiwa Takenobu. Moreover, the presence of Li Yixiao added more difficulty to his evil plan. He could not afford to take risks.

Howard announced proudly, “The Phoenix Society can take care of the upstream. Now go and help with the downstream.”

Individual Practitioners exchanged startled look with one another. Never had they expected the Phoenix Society to be so confident.

Another pro sneered. “Don’t bluff. We won’t take responsibility if you die. Fine, let’s go downstream.”

Then, he walked away with his people.

At that moment, the golden glow erected against the bug flood caught everyone coming downstream in awe.

Though unwilling to admit it, the experts understood that a new beast-level genius had risen from the Heavenly Network!

Speaking of which, it was the first time that the Network showcased to the world how powerful their geniuses were. A mere Class C was already able to hold back the entire swarm of bugs!

Thus, they started pondering the true strength of the Network. Was this young man a pure coincidence, or the norm?

But those individual Practitioners felt otherwise. They were awestruck by his heroic deed of confronting so many bugs on his own. A strong wave of enthusiasm overwhelmed their hearts, as they aspired to be a brave man just like him!

Their ambitions were groomed in the era of Spirit Qi regeneration, but now, many were defeated by reality.

It was a mental struggle that many experienced in their growth. In adolescence, they believed the world revolved around themselves, but later they were told that they would only reach maturity after acknowledging full-heartedly that they were not the center of everything.

But must we all bow our heads to the world?!

Must we all cut away our uniqueness so as to conform with the rest?

All kinds of thoughts and emotions welled up in the individual Practitioners’ hearts. Finally, they shouted, “Let me help you!”

Their blood was boiling in passion, as though they had found their long-lost youth and dreams.

Yet, in the next instant, they heard an angry roar from inside the golden glow, “Bloody hell! Stay away from me! These bugs are mine!”

“From Li Yixiao’s distress, +666!”

“From Zhi Wei’s distress, +666!”

“From Park Geung-ho’s ...”

“From Demon’s...”

The spark of enthusiasm was extinguished...

The image of an imagined hero collapsed...

“Anyone could enlighten me on what’s happening...” an individual Practitioner asked, his eyes glazed over.

“Maybe experts are all freaks...”

“Then are we still killing bugs?!”

“I suppose we are...”

All of a sudden, all the Practitioners were at a loss of what to do.

Though forbidden to take action, those beetles blocked their way downstream!

In the end, they still decided to kill those bugs. As they approached, Lu Shu led the bug flood away...

He ran away...

Leaving behind a bunch of Practitioners, shocked and confused. You brought those bloody bugs away?!

“From Li Yixiao’s distress, +666!”

“From Zhi Wei’s distress, +666!”

“From Park Geung-ho’s ...”

“From Demon’s...”

We are only here to help you! Why did you do that?!

Why? Did you rear them so it pains you to see them killed?

Everyone found it hard to clear their thoughts. “So? What now? Should we chase?”

“Honestly, neither do I know what to do...”

In the crowd, Zhi Wei sighed, distress written all over his face. “Still, I underestimated his greed for money...”
