Chapter 394: Chapter 269: There is a Traitor

Chapter 269

As expected!

The beetles immediately shrank back, and for a moment, the three of them felt relieved, but it only lasted two or three seconds!

Whoosh! The beetles tilted down once more and surrounded Sui Yi and the others in the blink of an eye... They were only five or six meters away!

With their speed of movement, it was just a matter of seconds...

"It’s not afraid of light!" Xiao Yu suddenly said, and then swiftly moved the searchlight away and back again!

A flash, then gone!

The swarm of beetles in front of her immediately scurried back in a rustling retreat...

This could work!

Sui Yi and Ye Changan also started moving their arms, flashing the lights across each other!

Indeed, the beetles appeared sluggish and stupefied among the staggered flashes of light, shrinking back in fear...

"They’re afraid of the flashing motion of the light!"

"Some creatures do indeed have this trait, and continuous light exposure can accustom them to it in a short time!"

Although they found a way to resist, the three of them didn’t want to stay any longer in this terrifying tunnel of hanging corpses and started to sprint forward while moving the lights...

Soon, they saw the gate at the end.

"We made it!"

"Quick!"

Five-meter distance!

The light from Ye Changan and Xiao Yu’s watches suddenly weakened...

"Damn, the watches are almost out of battery!"

"We’ve stayed too many days in the desert, the batteries are drained!"

Ye Changan’s group had been in the desert for quite some time, originally going to Guardian City for an archaeological exploration, but it was Professor Ye who later determined that this was not the main city. Xiao Yu learned some information about Wei Feng and others from the traitor, which led them to search for the main city.

But indeed they had arrived many days earlier than Gong Jiu’s group, so it was natural that their batteries couldn’t last.

Just at this critical moment, their searchlight’s beams weakened...

This resulted in only the light from Sui Yi’s watch being effective, hardly possessing the deterrent force they had before, so...

The beetles that were only trailing behind them suddenly surged as if injected with a steroid!

They charged!

The sprint at that moment didn’t slow down, as they had no way back!...

Charge!

Ahead was a two-meter-wide dense stream of beetles...

Since it was the end, there were fewer corpse bags...

But it seemed impossible to break through like this.

Swish!

Demon Que unsheathed!

A slash!

Swish!

A one-meter-wide path was cleared!

There’s a way out!

Sui Yi took off his watch and passed it to Ye Changan...

"You guys run forward!..."

"Changan, you light the way, I’ll open the gate!" Xiao Yu immediately understood Sui Yi’s intention, "Go!"

Just as the two squeezed through the gap, Sui Yi had already leaped onto the wall with Demon Que in hand~!

Running on walls?

That wasn’t a problem!

What was she planning to do?

As Xiao Yu rushed to the gate to search for the mechanism, while Ye Changan swiftly swept the searchlight ahead, she vaguely spotted Sui Yi leaping high onto the wall in the passing light, about four or five meters up.

The move was too dangerous, too incredible, too much like something out of a martial arts tale, leaving Ye Changan shockingly astonished.

"Sui Yi, be careful of those unopened corpse bags, what are you doing?"

No sooner had the words left her mouth than the swarm of beetles was almost upon them... five meters, four meters, three meters...

Death was imminent...

Xiao Yu’s face was taut as her palm rapidly moved along the groove beside her

Click-click-click!

Suddenly, there was the sound of snapping a photo...

As Sui Yi leaped on the wall, she turned her head and raised an eyebrow.

A camera?

Certainly more standard for flashing than the searchlight.

Pretty smart, Ye Changan.

"Can you find it, Sister Xiao... The camera won’t last much longer..."

"Got it, it’s right here!"

Using the method Sui Yi used, Xiao Yu focused intently on the difference in echoes as she tapped the wall. After searching...

Click!

The mechanism was triggered!

But, at that very moment~~

The stone slab on the opposite side of the gate suddenly began to shake and opened.

Huh? A gate?

I haven’t even pulled on the ring here yet! There’s another gate aside from this one, why on the opposite side?

Ye Changan and Xiao Yu turned to look.

Instantly...

"Changan, were there giants in Loulan back then?"

In the recessed wall stood a giant, about two and a half meters tall, very stout, with layers of fat, just staring at them intently.

His belly was moving...

Damn!

Xiao Yu immediately grabbed the ring! She was about to pull it open...

Boom!

The stomach was torn open!

Two long tentacles prodded out from the giant’s eyes...

Clearly, this was a big creature.

And then, the camera in Ye Changan’s hand stopped flashing; the battery was dead, it had stopped working.

At that moment, she only had Sui Yi’s watch in her hands.
