Chapter 821: Scary as A Ghos (1/2)

While Fang Yingying talked to the young man in low voices, Nie Tian and the girls arrived at the Silver Beetle nest on Yin Yanan’s air-transportation spiritual tool.

Since the two of them had intentionally lowered their voices, and Nie Tian didn’t pay close attention to them, he didn’t hear the content of their conversation.

He and the girls had confidence in their strength, and thus weren’t very worried by the Heavenly Witchcraft Sect’s scheme.

The Silver Beetles hadn’t followed the Heavenly Witchcraft Sect disciples to the other nests as they had withdrawn, but were still flying around that mountain peak.

However, as Nie Tian and the girls attempted to approach that mountain peak, their action seemed to enrage the Silver Beetles.

Countless Silver Beetles instantly swarmed towards them.

As they approached Nie Tian, they seemed to catch a whiff of something delicious, and grew even more violent and mad.

Almost all of the Silver Beetles targeted Nie Tian. As they did, their shiny silver bodies that were the size of fists clashed with each other, giving rise to metallic clanks and sending out silver sparks.

Upon seeing this, both Yin Yanan and Mu Biqiong grew confused.

They were standing side by side with Nie Tian, but the Silver Beetles had clearly ignored them, as if they had nothing but Nie Tian in their small, beady eyes.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Like numerous small but hard stones, Silver Beetles kept slamming into Yin Yanan’s air-transportation spiritual tool.

The air-transportation spiritual tool wobbled briefly before falling out of the air.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

As Nie Tian let out a cold harrumph and channeled flame power from within his vortex of flame power, a crimson aura rose from his skin, forming a fiery ward around him.

He jumped off the air-transportation spiritual tool before it crashed, and landed steadily at the foot of the Silver Beetle nest.

At the same time, he summoned his Flame Star, whose fiery blade light swept back and forth like a flame dragon trying to devour heaven and earth.

A large number of Silver Beetles were slashed by the Flame Star’s blade light and fell from the sky like rain.

However, after they fell to the ground, their small silver bodies wiggled about and soon flew back up again.

A surprised expression appeared on Nie Tian’s face, as he hadn’t at all expected that the Silver Beetles’ shells were actually so solid that the Flame Star failed to cut them open.

After putting her air-transportation spiritual tool back in her ring of holding, Yin Yanan gasped at the scene of countless Silver Beetles attacking Nie Tian.

She and Mu Biqiong were indeed completely ignored by the Silver Beetles.

They had landed in a place that was just about ten meters from Nie Tian, yet not a single one of the swarming Silver Beetles flew to attack them.

Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Silver Beetles engulfed Nie Tian like a sea, blocking him from view.

“Why are the Silver Beetles attacking him so madly?” Mu Biqiong asked with a confused look in her deep eyes.

Yin Yanan was puzzled by the same question.

She gently placed her hand on the Frost Blood Python’s head and sent a wisp of soul awareness through her hand.

In the next moment, she sensed the Frost Blood Python’s strong yearning for Nie Tian’s flesh.

Since the Frost Blood Python had entered the eighth grade, a soul connection had already formed between it and Yin Yanan, eliminating all obstacles to their communication.

The Frost Blood Python told her that Nie Tian’s aura had an irresistible appeal to it.

If Yin Yanan hadn’t stopped it, and if it hadn’t witnessed Nie Tian’s formidable might before, it would have long since given in to its yearning and attempted to swallow Nie Tian.

Silver Beetles were an ancient species from the Desolate Antiquity Era. Even though their intelligence wasn’t so developed, they could tell that Nie Tian’s flesh and blood would be of great help to them.

PUFF! PUFF!

The wave upon wave of Silver Beetles finally burst the defensive ward Nie Tian had formed with flame power.

The Silver Beetles let out sharp excited screeches as they pounced on Nie Tian and planted their teeth into his flesh.

BANG!

In the blink of an eye, close to a hundred Silver Beetles clung on to Nie Tian with their sharp teeth.

A numbing toxin was instantly injected into Nie Tian’s flesh through the Silver Beetle’s teeth.

While experiencing severe pain, Nie Tian also felt that the toxin was even slowing his circulation of flesh aura.

After seeing what was happening to Nie Tian, the Frost Blood Python, which was coiled by Yin Yanan’s feet, seemed to be stirred as well. Its eyes shone with blood-colored light as it unconsciously inched towards Nie Tian.

“Don’t even think about it!” Yin Yanan berated sternly.

She had noticed the look of desire in the Frost Blood Python’s eyes, and thus stopped it in time.

Gnawed by the Silver Beetles, Nie Tian grinned sinisterly. “You lot must have a death wish!”

Life Drain was then activated.

Like bands of red silk, streaks of blood-colored light instantly shot out of him.

Like intangible needles, they pierced and pinned all of the Silver Beetle that dared to bite into his skin.

Afterwards, fine cyan, crystalline strings that were branded with his bloodline power flew out of the blood-colored light, drilling into the Silver Beetles.
