Chapter 544: 299 Pure Love Below (4100)_1 Chapter 544: 299 Pure Love Below (4100)_1 Buzzing…Rumbling…

A large tide of rock-white “stream” rushed out from the side passage, about taking over half of the space. It was a terrifying insect tide composed of a gigantic amount of holy beetles, bringing along a sweeping momentum.

The insect tide hit the rock wall, creating a booming sound. It caused a noticeable tremble in the entire cave space, with dust falling from the walls.

Atop the blood pool, the coffin to the uppermost left. In the darkness, a high-ranking member of the Blood Clan, dressed like an aristocrat, was in a panic.

He tightly clenched his fists together, his sharp nails digging into his flesh, not stopping. At this moment, he was incredibly tense, but due to the danger outside, he closed his eyes and suppressed his bodily functions to the lowest level possible.

The rumbling sounds brought about by the crawling insects outside made the youth’s eyelids twitch each time. He displayed no elegance of an aristocrat and instead resembled a prisoner in jail.

He was afraid that someone would suddenly call him out to announce his death penalty.

Plop, plop, plop, plop…

Above the coffin, suddenly there was a sound like rainfall hitting on the surface. That was the movement of insect limbs continually crawling.

The young Blood Clan member’s eyelids twitched as he prayed in his heart. He had been startled awake by the noise, and he had opened the lid of the coffin with a sealing effect. There was probably a trace of his aura leaking out, he hoped these holy beetles did not have such a sharp sense and would leave here quickly.

Squish!

The youth felt unbearable pain in his abdomen. He abruptly opened his eyes and saw an insect’s limb, resembling a rock-white dagger, piercing through the coffin and stabbing into his body.

“This is…”

Crackling… Half of the coffin was violently torn apart.

The high ranking Blood Clan member clothed as a youth was hoisted into mid-air, looking in terror at a two-meter long holy beetle.

Its whole body was covoured in heavy, thick wrinkles similar to a turtle shell that was covered in intricate patterns. Its joints were spider-like, with ends sharp like a blade, its surface covered in dense, bristly fur.

Especially their heads, the magnified image of the insect’s mouthparts was simply the most horrifying and revolting thing in the world!

“No!!!”

The youth roared, attempting to transform into his true Blood Clan form. Yet his cries suddenly ceased, as his head was bitten off in one mouthful by the giant holy beetle, leaving only a headless bloody corpse.

Splash!

The beetle’s limb, sharp as a battle blade, fell, splitting him in two. The surrounding swarm rushed forward en masse, enjoying the special vapors produced by the corroding liquid and the contact of the Blood Clan’s energy.

Half a minute later.

The tumultuous insect tide swept past, getting further and further away. The space returned to tranquility, but the ground was left in utter disorder.

Then, after about ten minutes.

There was a slight tremble in one of the coffins in the blood pool.

Half an hour later.

Creak, the lid of the coffin opened, and a dark figure suddenly shot out as though it was a shell, flying into mid-air, its fists firmly grabbing onto the cave wall, almost like a giant human gecko.

It turned its head, revealing a face as pale as a corpse. Its body was clad in a luxurious evening gown, the chest area pinned with a decayed flower. It was obvious that, like the youth, it too was a high-ranking member of the Blood Clan.

The man deeply scanned the insides of cave wall.

Only after confirming that there was no danger did he slowly descend.

The first thing he laid eyes on was the ripped apart coffin next to the blood pool, marks of the holy beetles’ gnawing clearly visible. When he turned to look at the ground, his pupils contracted. There lay three pieces of decaying bones, as if they were soaked in sulfuric acid. It was so severely corroded, one could barely make out its shape. Only upon careful observation could one realize that they were two halves of a body and a head.

“Dead?!”

That was his first reaction.

“A holy beetle tide!!!”

That was his second reaction.

The man immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. After observing the body for a bit, he realized the situation seemed even graver than he initially thought. It was not merely a holy beetle rampage, even the giant holy beetles had been brought out. This indicated that it was not a typical beetle outbreak.

Rather, someone had invaded the Akaba Ruins, angering the swarm of holy beetles!

The Blood Clan had some understanding of the Akaba ruins, merely the first level’s five regions were full of dangers, traps, poisons, and exotic species. Not to mention the later levels.

Among them was a particularly special entity, namely, the holy beetle. They were also part of the danger, but they had another identity – the cleaners.

It seemed like the ancient civilization of the Akaba Ruins had designed it during the construction. Every once in a while, the holy beetles would unleash a horrific insect tide. They would sweep every corner of the upper three levels in a short period, killing the relentless birth of exotic species.

This could be called the terrifying natural disaster of the ruins.

As for the lower three levels, they were different. The upper three levels were underground structures built by humans. The lower three levels were a mysterious and eerie labyrinth. The whole labyrinth seemed to be alive, capable of self-healing, changing structures, and releasing exotic species.

These sleeping high-ranking Blood Clan members had once explored the Akaba Ruins by relying on their immortality. Eventually, they suffered significant losses on the fourth level, with one-fifth of their numbers dying on the spot. They had to retreat to a key point in the vortex area on the first level, transforming it into a blood pool, allowing all high-ranking Blood Clan members to indulge in a deep sleep to recuperate.

The man contemplates facially, his eyes flashing. He was actually very curious about the people who had broken into the Akaba Ruins, however, going outside to investigate at this time should be out of the question. His curiosity was indeed high, yet he absolutely didn’t want to end up as beetle droppings.
