Chapter 418: Chapter 186 The Immortal Pharaoh Old Wang_1

Lin Baici extinguished the torch because they were already trapped in the swarm of insects. If he lit it up, the flames would spread everywhere.

Sasha! Sasha!

There were too many scarabs; the noise they made while crawling merged into a wave—especially unsettling.

Everyone ran while swatting with their hands, trying to drive away the insects, but it was futile.

Even Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao had no effective way to dispel the insects. Kill one group, and more would surge forward.

The bugs on the ground were already more than half a foot thick, burying everyone’s ankles.

Someone, unable to stand steady under the assault of the insect tide, fell down, and before they could get up, was swarmed and covered by bugs.

That person, as if wrapped in a coat made of insects, struggled for about ten seconds before falling to the ground, motionless.

"Ah!"

Cai Wenqi’s scream pierced the air.

She was afraid of cockroaches, let alone these scarabs.

The most vivid memory she had was opening a dormitory cupboard to have a dozen cockroaches fly out like bombers, which nearly scared her to death.

And now, there were even more insects.

"Ah..."

Cai Wenqi’s scream suddenly stopped, like a speaker cut off from power because a scarab had flown into her mouth.

She panicked instantly.

Pu! Pu!

Cai Wenqi tried to spit out the bug, but it was no use. What’s more terrifying was she felt it crawling through her throat, burrowing deeper.

The sensation of something entering her stomach was downright spine-chilling.

"Student Lin..."

Cai Wenqi called out instinctively for help, only to have two more insects take the opportunity to burrow into her mouth.

"Forget about them, let’s get out of here quickly!"

Bian Xiang, the instigator of the disturbance, showed no signs of guilt or remorse as he urged Lin Baici and Fei Xiao to move faster.

To him, with billions of ordinary people, more numerous than animals, their deaths were not worth caring about.

"Queen, do you have a way?"

Xia Hongyao held her head with one hand, extremely worried. This insect tide filled her with restless energy with nowhere to vent.

Lin Baici sprinted forward to clear a path through the bugs at the front, but there were too many on the ground. His feet felt as if stuck in a swamp, hindering his movements.

Not only him, everyone’s legs were covered in a thick layer of insects because they were too busy protecting their heads, resembling oversized cotton pants.

Lin Baici rushed to the front and activated Divine Grace.

A sudden gust of wind and rain whipped through the corridor, falling on the insects like a naked flame igniting candles.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

Flames sprouted above the heads of the insects.

A majestic Buddha appeared behind Lin Baici, then bent down to blow a breath.

Floating Night Rain, Wild Buddha blowing a lamp!

Whoosh!

The flames on the insects’ heads were abruptly extinguished, and they dropped dead on the spot, raining down and quickly forming a thick layer on the ground.

The passage ahead was suddenly quiet.

"Holy shit!"

Bian Xiang jumped in fright, eyeing Lin Baici warily.

What kind of Divine Grace was this?

So powerful!

It was practically a skill for clearing the field!

Fei Xiao and Fang Tianhua were also dumbfounded. Lin Baici had killed at least tens of thousands of scarabs with that move.

"Run!"

Lin Baici urged.

The scarabs were endless and fearless of death. From the holes in the ceiling and walls that had quieted for a few seconds, more bugs began to pour out.

After Lin Baici had cleared a wave of insects, the pressue was greatly reduced for God Hunters like Fang Tianhua and Bian Xiang. Seizing the interlude, they dashed over a hundred meters ahead, but normal people couldn’t manage that.

"Can the Gold Mask control these insects?"

Lin Baici asked while taking out the Gold Mask he’d confiscated earlier. He dared not wear it because whoever put it on would contaminate their mind and become a breeding ground for the Flesh Scarabs due to a blood curse.

[It’s useful, it can create Flesh Scarabs, a step higher on the ecological ladder than normal scarabs. If you wear it for only twenty seconds, you won’t be parasitized!]

As soon as Lin Baici heard this, he immediately put the Gold Mask on his face.

"Oppa!"

"Little Bai!"

Kim Myungjin and Hua Yue Yu were taken aback. They hadn’t forgotten how terrifying that mask was.

"Little Linzi, give it to me!"

Xia Hongyao was even more straightforward, reaching out her hand to take it.

There’s a danger, let me do it.

Lin Baici ignored the three girls’ words. The moment he put on the mask, his head boomed as if run over by a truck’s huge wheel. Then, a voice rang in his mind.

[You are the king, the world must bow to you!]

[Command!]

[Everyone must live by your will!]

[You allow them to live, they can live. You command them to die, they must die!]

"Shut up!"

Lin Baici roared, enduring the headache. He turned back and shouted at the scarabs, "Get out of the way!"

Boom!

A wave of mental pressure spread out like ripples on a lake surface.

The scarabs in the air and close to Lin Baici began descending to the ground as they dared not fly in front of the King of Scarabs.

Those far from Lin Baici simply stopped in place, including the Obsidian Scarab statue.

"Quickly, run!"

Lin Baici urged, silently counting the seconds. As soon as twenty seconds passed, he immediately tried to remove the Gold Mask. But the thing clung tightly to his face as if it had suction, and Lin Baici felt an addictive pull to keep wearing it.
