Chapter 1072: Chapter 570: Crisis in the Dark Night and the Deserved Award!_2

It was only because these Poison Beetles couldn’t fly, otherwise the team members might have already been surrounded!

"We’ve got a situation!" Sean Knight shouted, tossing an incendiary bomb behind the sand dune!

Then he turned and started running back!

As he ran, Sean Knight yelled:

"Both sides of the Campground, pay attention to both sides! The poisonous insects are coming around this side! Hurry over here! And watch out on that side too! There might be Poisonous Snakes!"

Despite the loud noise from the flamethrowers, Sean Knight’s voice carried with great penetration, and the director immediately heard it.

Without questioning Sean Knight’s call, he immediately dispatched several tens of men, divided into two groups, bursting out to both sides of the Campground.

Almost at the same moment these men broke out, their field of vision was filled with a dark crow of creatures!

As usual, flares lit up, and then they saw the unending stream of poisonous insects and snakes rushing towards the Campground!

This time, without needing the director’s order, the Flame soldiers already began to attack the poisonous insects and snakes, just several tens of meters away!

Sean Knight and his team had already fallen back to the Campground and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss, if it wasn’t for you, we’d all have been done for here!" Douglas Cooper said with lingering fear.

"If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t be here either," Sean Knight said with a laugh, also feeling the residual fear—Even if surrounded, he had the information to run away, but what about these team members?

The team members had come at his request, could he really leave them behind?

At this moment, drones had also been dispatched, spraying insecticide behind the masses of poisonous snakes and insects.

With all kinds of attacks deployed, the line was finally held steady.

"I’ll go check out the back and make sure those creatures don’t circle around again," said Elijah Hastings, still shaken, as he ran to check the rear.

Sean Knight didn’t follow; his heart had calmed down by now, so there should be no more significant danger, he reckoned.

After several rotations of firepower from the flamethrowers and almost running out of incendiary bombs, the poisonous insects and snakes were finally exterminated.

And on the few hundred meters between the city wall and the Campground, there lay a carpet of charred remains of dead creatures.

The stench was unbearable.

"That layer has to be at least half a meter thick!" exclaimed Christopher Morgan beside Sean Knight, "Back home, if they hadn’t come in such numbers, what excellent medicinal materials they’d make! What a waste!"

Sean Knight laughed.

Only those trained in the army would think like that—just after such intense "Combat," most of the team members were still sitting on the ground, resting.

The flamethrowers were set aside to cool down before disassembling for maintenance.

And a large pile of used jars was stacked behind them.

To be so optimistic like Christopher Morgan now was quite a feature of our Organization.

"Let’s focus on staying alive first. Once we get the Money, we’ll be able to buy a lot more," Douglas Cooper joked from the side. "Just with this one incident, you guys must have made what you’d earn in one year back home, right?"

"About that," Christopher Morgan said with a laugh.

Indeed, one day’s wages here were equivalent to one month’s back Home, and with the pace of exploration at the Ancient City Ruins, it would take at least ten days to half a month.

"Everyone worked hard tonight," Sean Knight said with a smile. "I’ll give a 10,000-dollar Bonus to each person! Consider it my thanks to all of you!"

The incident with the poisonous insects and snakes’ sudden attack came out of nowhere, but the outstanding response from everyone, not panicking at all, also exceeded Sean Knight’s expectations.

Given time, the security guards under his command would surely prove incredibly valuable!

"Thank you, boss!" Christopher Morgan thanked Sean Knight with a bow, "I thank the boss on behalf of everyone!"

"You earned it," Sean Knight replied as they continued walking, "Without you, I wouldn’t be making so much."

Up ahead, team members were carefully scouting the Road, setting off a flare every so often.

In the white light, there were no more Poisonous Snakes or poisonous insects in the city walls or beyond.

"We still have to be careful and not let down our guard. We don’t know if we’ve completely exterminated them, or if they’ve simply retreated back into their caves. Let’s avoid a surprise counterattack!"

"Don’t worry, we are professionals at this," Christopher Morgan assured, "The team in the back is still on stand-by, ready to act, and the flamethrowers can continue operation. Fortunately, we brought enough Supplies this time."

After making a round and detecting nothing unusual, Sean Knight and the others returned to the Campground.

With double the number watching over the city wall, and defenses pushed out, it would be safer.

Christopher Morgan relayed the message about the Bonus Sean Knight was giving out, and the team members cheered.

Sean Knight smiled.

Making these young team members happy, Sean Knight found it a good feeling too.

The following Night was very safe.

Then it was back to work.

While the team members cleared away the sand, Sean Knight started walking inward.

He then came upon the big cave near the Pyramid again—the Snake Corridor left from their slithering.

Sky Eye looked down, and indeed there wasn’t a single snake left inside.

However, Sean Knight didn’t go in. Instead, he and Elijah Hastings took another good turn around the city, eventually finding something resembling an altar in the Northwest corner of the city.

On the edges of the seemingly low altar, there were fist-sized holes.

From the markings around the Cave Entrance, this appeared to be the spot where the beetles had emerged.

These holes were dense and numerous, and behind the altar, there was an over one meter tall big cave, probably where most of the beetles had crawled out from.
