Chapter 124 - Carpet Hellfire (1/2)

There was not a single human soul out in the middle of night, but there were more and more insectoids gathering around the mall.

Even if there was beast repellent scattered about, the collective breaths of the people were still being dispersed. With adequate food around, it was a possibility that the insectoids wanted a full meal or to hunt to feed their offspring.

To leave them alone until morning would mean that the insectoids could break in at any moment and kill everyone.

Liu Xue and the others were patrolling vigilantly, looking through a small window.

“What should we do? Should we clear some out?” He Ling suggested nervously.

The people around him did not respond. n.o.body knew what was the best course of action. Even Liu Xue would not dare give suggestions right now as the price of a wrong decision would be someone’s life.

“Boss isn’t back yet?” w.a.n.g Chen kept glancing at the communicator on his hand. He was looking at the time.

w.a.n.g Chen naturally had Qin Feng’s communicator number, but things had not reached a critical moment just yet. If he rashly called Qin Feng, and ended up with nothing definitive, then it would only show that w.a.n.g Chen was not very useful.

So he endured on.

He could only wait for time to pa.s.s and hope that Qin Feng would return soon. It was not just him, those around him were also thinking the same thing.

“Why isn’t Mr. Qin back yet?”

It had only been twelve hours and Qin Feng had become a pillar for these people to rely on. Without him, they would not have been able to hold out here, neither would they have had the confidence to escape.

“Beast general! There’s another beast general!” w.a.n.g Chen quietly sounded out, with a trace of fear in his voice.

In the darkness, they could see the silhouette of a beast general knife-edge mantis.

Previously in the hotel lobby, a beast general knife-edge mantis had appeared as well. It moved at a neck-breaking speed, the dizzying strikes of its sickle-like claws harvested up to three lives.

With the existence of something like this, there was nothing that could be done to deal with it.

The beast generals were not as patient as the insectoids, and they would not be deterred by the beast repellent powder. Rather, they would begin their rampage toward the mall and start killing everything in sight.

As for right now, five beast generals were spread out in all four directions of the mall.

One would not dare imagine what sort of scene would ensue if they were to break through!

Only this time, a burst of flame suddenly came from down the streets.

Dark red flames rose up into the night sky, but the burst of flame did not fill the air with light. The dark flames swallowed the disturbed uproar that was the swarm of insectoids on the streets.

The flames ignited everything around them, but there was no smoke cover, nor was there a wave of heat that would warm its surroundings. Everything would have been in a calm quiet if it were not for the pained screeching of the burning insectoids.

Qin Feng walked through the flames. This fire was made by him, naturally he would not be harmed.

Carpet h.e.l.lfire was not a be-all end-all ability, it would not be enough to kill off some of the stronger beast soldiers with strong vitality!

Skree!

That only made the insectoids angry!

“Nice. I don’t need to go looking for you!”

Qin Feng watched as a knife-edged mantis flashed its wings and flew toward him. Its wings were thin like a cicada’s, but it stretched itself outward and pressed forward. The way it handled its sickle-like claws indicated that it was quite skillful with them.

“Die!”

No matter how skilled it was, facing Qin Feng meant the end.

The Burning Sword Glare erupted outward as Qin Feng and the knife-edged mantis moved past one another.

It was not until Qin Feng had moved ten meters away that the huge knife-edged mantis collapsed onto the ground and got consumed by h.e.l.lfire.

Knife-edge mantis beast general! Slain!

It was just a momentary face-off and Qin Feng had killed the knife-edged mantis within seconds. He did not stop moving, continuing his advance, not even stopping to look at the mantis.

The dark umbra stallion once more entered the darkness, Qin Feng’s position changed and another street was engulfed in flames.
