Chapter 102: The Shell Beetle and Blood Xue Chiluo

Su Huchen's face instantly fell. "Then what do you suggest, Old Bao?"

"How about giving it a few more insect crystals?" Director Bao Junyi scratched his head.

"How many insect crystals should we give it?" Su Huchen asked again.

"Give it twenty pieces, each the size of an egg?" Director Bao Junyi thought to himself, this is already a lot; any more and he couldn't afford it.

"Alright, let's go talk to it." Hearing this, Su Huchen immediately became overjoyed; the larger the insect crystal, the more precious it was.

Old Bao had truly bled this time.

After reporting the important matters, Su Hanlin hurriedly rushed back.

Just in time for Blood Xue Chiluo to finish the biscuits.

Su Hanlin took another small insect crystal and gave it to him to chew like a biscuit. "Blood Xue Chiluo, what do you usually do at home?"

"I look after my younger brothers and sisters. I find bugs to eat, and I help my Sect Master clear the underground spiritual energy channels to make the spiritual fields more fertile. I am very capable; I manage all the spiritual plants in my backyard." Blood Red Luo said with a tsundere tone. While speaking, he continued to crunch-crunch-crunch on the insect crystal.

Zuzhu?

Connecting the context, Su Hanlin preconceived that "Zuzhu" must be "Master's Master"! This "Master-Master" was likely his affectionate term for his master.

"Blood Xue Chiluo, you are truly capable. Is your Zuzhu good to you?" Hearing the tone in Blood Xue Chiluo's voice, it was clearly one of pride.

Su Hanlin immediately began praising Blood Xue Chiluo's capability.

Hearing that this human also praised his capability, Blood Xue Chiluo's impression of him instantly improved by several points.

"Of course he is. Without my Zuzhu, where would I come from?" Blood Xue Chiluo said.

Su Hanlin thought, indeed so; without the Witches, where could Blood Xue Chiluo be hatched?

"Besides, Zuzhu cannot do without me now. Without me, who would look after so many younger brothers and sisters for her?" Blood Xue Chiluo said proudly.

"Hearing you say that, I also feel your Zuzhu truly cannot do without you," Su Hanlin said.

"That is naturally so."

Su Hanlin asked again, "Then regarding this excavation of the insect nest, how much delicious food do you want?"

"For these small stones, you must give me a pile at least?" Blood Xue Chiluo said.

"Fine, we will give you twenty insect crystals, each the size of an egg. That makes exactly a pile; does that work?" Director Bao Junyi and Su Huchen happened to walk in at this moment.

As soon as Director Bao Junyi arrived, Blood Xue Chiluo twisted uneasily.

However, he was not scared away immediately by Director Bao Junyi, this Venerable Purple Palace Realm cultivator! Director Bao Junyi was quite satisfied in his heart.

This Blood Xue Chiluo, who had eaten the mother insect, had actually grown to a foot tall. Moreover, he could even speak now.

It truly shocked him in his heart.

"Eggs? Are you sure the stones you give me are egg-sized?" Blood Xue Chiluo asked again. He had seen eggs, after all, his family raised a brood of spiritual chickens. Two hens laid an egg every day or two.

"We certainly won't lie to you," Director Bao Junyi said.

"Then alright, I agree to lead you there." Blood Xue Chiluo nodded in agreement.

"Do we need to move you out of the flower pot and put you on the ground? How will you lead us?" Su Huchen asked.

"Have him carry my pot. I will point the way for you. We will just go in that direction." The speaking Blood Xue Chiluo thought: Just pointing the way, what more do you want me to do?

Should I use earth escape? Can you keep up?

Blood Xue Chiluo waved one of his branches, indicating the direction.

That was the direction of the north city, exactly diagonal to the east city.

Now that the direction was known, the three people, carrying Blood Xue Chiluo, quickly ran towards the north city.

"It has discovered me. It is angry."

They had not yet entered the north city district.

Blood Xue Chiluo spoke out loudly.

"Do not fear, the experts from the Patrol Bureau have already been fully deployed." Director Bao Junyi immediately comforted little Blood Xue Chiluo. Along the way, they had not walked too fast; Director Bao Junyi had also urgently contacted many experts within the city.

They had either already rushed over or were on their way to the north city.

"It is about to burst out." Blood Xue Chiluo suddenly spoke loudly.

Before his words had even finished, the only lake within the north city, the Thousand Carp Lake covering nearly thirty mu, suddenly began to tremble.

Almost the instant the lake water began to tremble, it dropped by more than a foot.

"Is that thing right under the great lake?" Director Bao Junyi's face suddenly changed, and he urgently pressed for an answer.

"Yes, right under that great lake. It is coming out, it is coming out." Blood Xue Chiluo said with urgency and speed.

Director Bao Junyi immediately ordered his subordinates to evacuate the mortals and low-cultivation cultivators around Thousand Carp Lake.

"Why can the insect nest still move?" Su Huchen said with an extremely ugly expression. "Could it be a Starry Sky Insect Nest?"

Just as his words had not yet finished, a huge rumbling sound came again from underground beneath Thousand Carp Lake. Boom! Boom!

This time, the lake water of Thousand Carp Lake dropped directly by more than a meter.

In the center of Thousand Carp Lake, something seemed to be about to rise from underwater.

The entire Thousand Carp Lake was a shallow lake, probably only three or four meters deep. That thing had already pushed up a huge mound of earth in the center of the lake. At this moment, the huge mound was only half a foot away from breaking the water surface.

"Did you see clearly the size of that thing?" Director Bao Junyi said with a gloomy face. "It is fully six mu in size. This insect nest can actually grow this big; the former City Lord Ma Jue truly deserves to die."

Hiss!!

A huge insect cry came from underground. Immediately following, a huge black hard-shelled beetle burst out from the ground.

As it broke through the soil, the water of the entire Thousand Carp Lake frantically poured into the hole from which it emerged.

Within a few breaths, Thousand Carp Lake was completely devoid of water.

A huge insect, fully twenty or thirty meters high, with a black shell on its back covering at least six mu, suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

The nearby mortals and low-cultivation cultivators were all terrified.

This bug is way too big.

Under the Patrol Bureau's organization, they began fleeing in panic.

If they don't run now, there likely won't be a chance in the future.

The big bug's pair of icy eyes didn't bother looking at the humans fleeing in panic. Its two eyes stared fixedly at Xue Chuluo.

Then it let out a string of eerie bug-chirps.

"It says it absolutely must eat me." Xue Chuluo said with unusual excitement. "Young man, hurry up and take me running. Let's get far away and see how it plans to eat me."

Xue Chuluo noticed quite a few powerful humans had arrived nearby, and they had vaguely formed an encirclement, clearly intending to hunt this bug in a siege. Well then, now it wasn't afraid anymore.

Su Hanlin burst out laughing the moment she heard that. "I thought you were planning to have me carry you up there to find a chance to eat that big bug."

She never expected it would actually ask her to take it and run!

"That's called a Shell Bug — a terrifying war weapon and hatching base the Starry Sky Bug Race evolved on its own." Director Bao Junyi's face was dark; he felt his old face was going to get slapped swollen this time.

He'd been here for over two years and had never imagined such a terrifying enemy was hiding right beneath his feet.
