Chapter 733: Chapter 696: Nowhere to Hide
Facing the increasing number of beetles, Rocky, in order to evade the sprayed green sli, had to fly high into the mid-air of the Dissolving Cave.
Although they also launched an attack on these beetles, bombing them extensively and killing swathes of them, this left the deep pit undefended, causing even more beetles to surge up like a tide. More importantly, without Dusa to hold them off, those enormous Mantis Demons finally crawled out of the deep pit!
When the first Mantis Demon crawled out of the deep pit, the ground around the pit emitted a slight tremor, and then more Mantis Demons climbed up, quickly numbering five or six next to the pit.
Each of these Mantis Demons was over three ters tall with massive bodies, and while continuously hissing, their scythe-like forelimbs were also constantly swinging at Rocky and his group.
“Thank goodness, thank goodness these things can’t fly…”
While aiming the Magic Energy Beams and Magic Energy Cannons at the Mantis Demons, Rocky secretly felt relieved that these bizarre demons lacked the ability to fly, otherwise they really would have died here this ti.
At this mont, the number of beetles erging from the deep pit was imasurable, as they gushed out continuously like a fountain, now covering the entire floor of the Dissolving Cave, looking just like a pool of black water inundating the cave. The only consolation was that these beetles couldn’t fly, for if so many beetles could fly into the mid-air, then not just Liliya, but even Rocky himself would be overwheld.
It was also because they couldn’t fly that, although these beetles on the ground kept spraying green sli at Rocky and his companions, the sli sprayed from their mouths could only reach up to about a dozen ters high. Although this height was already quite astonishing, with the Dissolving Cave being hundreds of ters high, Rocky and his group, flying high in the air, were out of reach of the sli, which ultimately fell back to the ground, or rather onto the beetles themselves, corroding them in the process.
Similarly, when the Mantis Demons climbed out of the deep pit, they looked terrifying and indeed were lunging and clawing at Rocky and his group, but as long as they couldn’t fly up into the air, they posed little threat to them.
Even so, Rocky and his group were becoming increasingly troubled.
The number of demons crawling out of the deep pit was just too many!
Now, the number of beetles erging from the pit was well over a thousand and still increasing. In this situation, the entire Dissolving Cave was already filled with beetles. Although Rocky and his companions could hide in the air, what next?
Are they to just keep hiding like this, forever?
By this point, Rocky had realized why the previous explorations by the Fireteng Tribe had ended in failure, because there were simply too many demons here, beyond the capacity of just a few Beastn to fend off, even with the presence of a Chief among these Beastn—the sa was true for Rocky now. Although the four of them still possessed strong combat abilities, they could not overco the sheer number of beetles.
Thus, they must find a way out, whether it is to rapidly explore or to delay, they needed to find a solution, because hiding like this was definitely not a sustainable plan.
However, in reality, the ti left for Rocky and his group to find a solution was not much, because just when they felt the Mantis Demons wouldn’t pose too much of a threat, an unexpected situation occurred!
The first few Mantis Demons that had climbed up yelled a few tis at the air, then their massive bodies began to swell, especially their abdons, which ballooned into a round sphere within a few blinks. Following this, even before Rocky could react to this scene, the Mantis Demons sprayed green sli at them!
“Dodge!”
Watching the Green Sli shoot towards mid-air, Rocky imdiately shouted and hurriedly moved to the side, narrowly dodging the Green Sli aid at him.
Even though he dodged the Green Sli, Rocky still felt a lingering sense of trepidation.
Now, he was more than fifty ters above the ground!
Early on, to avoid the beetles’ spitting attack, Rocky and his team had ascended to a height of over fifty ters. At this elevation, no matter how hard the beetles tried, they couldn’t reach them. However, it seed that what the beetles couldn’t do, the Mantis Demons could!
The Green Sli spat out by these Mantis Demons appeared similar to that of the beetles, but it was even more potent. Never mind fifty ters, they could shoot the Green Sli up to the very top of the Dissolving Cave, which was over a hundred ters high!
At this, Rocky started to panic, as anyone could see that if these Mantis Demons could attack them, the aerial advantage of Rocky and his team would be gone. More importantly, as the pit fell, more and more Mantis Demons were crawling out of it!
Right now, Rocky and his team were only facing the attack of five or six Mantis Demons, but if the number of Mantis Demons increased, they would be completely unsafe in the air.
However, just as Rocky was thinking this, more Mantis Demons crawled out of the pit, totaling up to more than a dozen!
“Don’t let them get ready!”
Seeing more than ten Mantis Demons crawl out, Rocky instinctively sensed trouble and imdiately targeted all his attacks at them without any delay.
He had realized that these Mantis Demons seed to need to gather energy for a while before they could shoot the Green Sli to a higher altitude, so they absolutely couldn’t give them any ti.
After that, the four of them unleashed all their firepower on the Mantis Demons. Despite their enormous size and tough shells, the Mantis Demons couldn’t withstand the barrage and soon several of them fell.
“Rocky! Look!”
But just then, just as each Mantis Demon was successively blasted and Rocky had just breathed a sigh of relief, Liliya suddenly shouted.
Hearing Liliya’s voice, Rocky quickly looked over, then witnessed a scene that made his scalp tingle.
While they directed all their firepower against the Mantis Demons, a countless number of beetles had completely taken over the entire Dissolving Cave, and not only that, but these beetles had subsequently climbed up from the ground to the cave walls, and then from the walls to the cave ceiling!
What were these beetles planning to do?!
As Rocky looked up at the beetles that had covered the Dissolving Cave, Dusa suddenly scread because at that mont a beetle had just fallen from the cave ceiling right onto her!
