Chapter 503

It was the first time Ren saw a living scarab.

Their appearance is similar to the "scarabs" in the previous life, but they have been magnified countless times. Even the smallest scarab has a body length of more than one meter. It has six legs on its abdomen and hard burrs on the legs. The front pair of long legs are extremely thick , like a pair of sharp giant pincers, used to dig up sand or tear apart enemies.

The scarab's carapace is like gold, shining golden in the sun, very dazzling.

Their abdomens are also covered by a hard cuticle, which is very defensive, and it is difficult for ordinary superhumans to penetrate.

Hundreds of scarabs are hiding under the desert. If someone breaks into the ruins and falls into the swarm, with their ferocious mouthparts and strength, they will be torn to pieces in an instant.

The sun crystal has a huge attraction to the scarabs. All the scarabs pounce on the crystal, huddling together densely, fighting each other, and even biting each other, without noticing the enemies not far away at all. But they were too densely packed, and their bodies were about the same size, so no mid-level scarabs could be found.

Dejiko felt a little difficult. With his strength, he could easily destroy all the scarabs, but he was unwilling to do so.

In order to master the power of the Holy Light, the Scorching Sunwalker does not want to kill them.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Renn flashing to his side, thinking that Renn was going to do something, he quickly said, "My lord, don't kill them all."

"Won't."

Ren shook his head, he didn't do this kind of thing.

Most of the scarabs are elementary level, and there are only a few middle level. If they are all killed, where will they go to find scarab demon souls above the middle level?

Reassured, Dejko considered what to do.

The two mid-level scarab demon souls that were hunted and killed before actually met by accident, broke away from the scarab group, and killed them easily. With so many scarabs in front of them, with their terrifying bite power, even a legendary transcendent who fell into the swarm would be gnawed clean.

He won't die, but if he makes a move, he will inevitably be accidentally injured.

Soon, a strong high-level scarab grabbed the sun crystal, repelled the opponents around it, and was about to dive into the sand with its forelegs waving.

"Don't let it get away!"

Dejiko yelled, the sun crystal is also one of the precious specialties of Atas, and it is not easy to find. It must be used to activate the teleportation array, and there are not many left in his hand.

As soon as the words fell, a thick bolt of lightning erupted beside him.

Crack!

In the not so loud thunder, the thick electric arc spanned a distance of nearly two hundred meters, and precisely hit the scarab, producing a paralyzing effect. The sun crystal in its mouth fell, and the swarm started a new life. A round of scrambling, completely ignoring the distant enemies.

Dejiko breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Ren has not forgotten not to make too much noise, so as not to attract sandworms.

"My lord..."

"It's okay, just leave it to me." Ren nodded slightly.

The eye of the soul has already scanned and locked on the mid-level scarabs in the swarm. There are three in total. There are also two high-level scarabs, which are stronger and have more elements, but the spear-wing knights cannot be integrated, and it is meaningless to kill them.

He measured the distance with his eyes, opened the phone interface and glanced at the element icons of "Electric Claw Technique".

The five-ring electric claw technique can catch targets as far as about 100 meters away, but it can't reach the swarm of insects, and it will startle them and attract a siege if it gets closer.

"It happens to have power, and it can be upgraded by one ring."

Ren put his soul power into the electric claw technique, and the progress bar under the icon moved rapidly, consuming more than 30 bars of power, and the progress bar was full in a few seconds, and the spell rose to the sixth ring.

Then, he reached out to the swarm.

A giant claw made of lightning flew out instantly, at an extremely fast speed, and fell into the swarm of insects in the blink of an eye, grabbed a scarab that didn't look much different, paralyzed it, and dragged it back.

When the scarab flew upside down, Dejko had already identified it.

—————

It is slightly larger than the other scarabs by half a circle, and its color is darker. It is a mid-level scarab, but the difference is not obvious, and I don't know how Ren found it among the hundreds of swarms. , and it can be pulled back precisely with just a quick grasp, which is really amazing.

In mid-air, a barrier of holy light emerged from the scarab's carapace, and its six legs stretched out their teeth and claws, trying to break free.

However, the six-ring spell is not so easy to break free, and the paralysis effect also prevents it from exerting its full power.

In the blink of an eye.

The scarab landed in front of the two of them, and Dejko took off the one-handed hammer and smashed it on.

boom!

The power of the legendary high-level sunwalker cannot be resisted by the mid-level scarab. Even if Dejiko didn't use all his strength, the one-handed hammer, which was comparable to a two-handed hammer, still easily smashed through the Holy Light barrier and the hard carapace, and his body was flattened and deformed, and he died instantly.

Ren took out a soul stone and pasted it on the body.

The soul stone turned golden, and there was a beetle-like demon soul inside.

"First."

Ren put away the soul stone, without stopping, raised his hand and flew out with another electric claw technique, and grabbed the second scarab, which was also an intermediate level.

Dejiko swung his hammer again to kill, and Rennes ingested the demon soul.

The two cooperated with each other tacitly, and in less than half a minute, they harvested the demon souls of three mid-level scarabs. The fourth electric claw technique flew out, and what was caught back was not the scarab, but the sun crystal. The swarm that had lost the crystal circled around a few times like chickens without a head, then dispersed in a herd, and burrowed under the sand again.

Ryan caught the Sun Crystal and handed it to Dejico.

"Are there only three?" the tauren couldn't help asking.

"Well, no more." Ren nodded, "Your Excellency, you can search for other scarab nests in the ruins."

Dejiko was a little dazed, and didn't understand how Ren knew the number of mid-level scarabs, but seeing that he was so sure, he didn't question it, and continued to search around the ruins.

Within minutes he found another scarab nest.

The two repeated their old tricks, using the sun crystal as bait to attract the swarms to divert their attention, and then at a safe distance, one was responsible for grabbing the target, and the other was responsible for killing the demon soul, relaxed and happy.

The Ultramarines and Sunwalkers watched from a distance, and had no chance to make a move.

In just over half an hour, Ren and Dejiko searched the ruins and obtained nine demon souls of mid-level scarabs.

"Go to the next ruin." Ren said with satisfaction.

The team started again.

Dejiko rode on the Kodo beast and said in a low voice: "My lord, based on my experience, not every ruin has so many scarabs, and some ruins don't even have it, but are occupied by other monsters."

Wren understood what he meant, "So we might be going to more ruins?"

"Yes." Djiko replied: "The ruins I know are about twenty, and it may take half of them to get the fifty demon souls needed by the lord, and you have to go around a long way... "

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Ren said he didn't care before he finished speaking.

Dejiko thought "but I'm in a hurry", opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything.

Ren saw his thoughts and pretended not to know. Raistlin was still making the teleportation array. This time, it was different from before. It was a plane teleportation array, which was more complicated and time-consuming. It would take at least half a month to complete, and he had to delay the time a little longer.

Three days later.

A group of people walked forward in the desert, and the four hooves of the Kodo beast stepped on the yellow sand, making a dull sound.

On the horizon, the never-setting sun radiated heat, roasting the tauren's mouths and tongues dry. After staying in the desert for several days, even after resting a few times, their stamina and physical strength are extremely good, but their bodies are still inevitably exhausted, and their spirits seem a little sluggish.

Ren built a pergola with his hands and looked at the sand dunes in front of him. The ruins of a kingdom of God loomed in the desert several miles away.

This is the fifth ruin found.

The three ruins found in the past few days, as Dejiko said, the harvest was not as good as expected. At present, there are only twenty-three demon souls of mid-level scarabs.

But besides the devil soul, he has other gains.

On the way to find the ruins, the team was attacked three times, the first time by desert trolls, and the last two times by mantis people. Especially yesterday, a tribe of mantis people not far away came out in full force. More than 300 mantis people, like huge insects whose body size was enlarged by an unknown number of times, waved their blade-like forelimbs and besieged from all directions like a tide. .

However, the Ultramarines deal them a devastating blow with their bolters.

Explosive bombs penetrated the bodies of several mantis people and exploded, and the enemies fell in pieces. None of the mantis people could rush within 100 meters, including the leader of the legendary mantis people, who was also shot in the head.

The fight lasted only three minutes before it was over.

The mantis people fled in a hurry, leaving countless stumps in the desert, and none of them escaped in the end.

After confirming that the gods believed by the Mantid people were not powerful, and that they couldn't cross the planes to lower their avatars, Ren immediately devoured their souls unceremoniously, causing the soul power pool to skyrocket to one-third!

He looked at the number 348 displayed in the soul pool, so much power can improve many elements.

"Keep it for now, save some soul power and go back to distribute it."

Moments later, the ruins arrived.

The Ultramarines and Sunwalker stopped in the distance consciously, and Ren and Dejiko jumped off the Kodo beasts and approached the ruins on foot.

Dejiko walked a small half circle around the ruins, with a look of surprise on his face.

"What's wrong?" Ren asked.

"The power of the Holy Light in this ruin fluctuates extremely strongly, much stronger than the previous ones. The scarab must have a lot of mathematics. Lord Lord, please look there..." Dejiko pointed to three or four places in the ruins, " There are so many air holes, which means that the scarab's nest is underneath, and they are almost connected together."

"That just saves time." Ren said happily.

Dejiko was also very happy, took out the sun crystal and injected the power of the holy light, and said, "Let's start." After speaking, he threw the crystal far away and fell on a piece of sand.

With the crystal as the center, the yellow sand within a radius of 100 meters boiled, and countless scarabs drilled out of the ground.

Ren is familiar with this scene.

But he soon noticed that something was wrong. In an area not far from the crystal, the desert first churned for a few seconds, and then suddenly collapsed. The area of ​​the collapse was very large, as if a hole appeared out of thin air underneath, and then countless yellow sand was lifted up and flew into the sky.

A huge body crawled out of the yellow sand all over the sky.

"Such a big scarab!"

Dejiko's pupils shrank and he screamed.

This is indeed a scarab, but its body is dozens of times larger than other scarabs. Its chubby body is covered by a golden carapace. It is more than ten meters long from head to tail, and its pair of forelegs alone is more than four meters long. Long, like two huge sharp blades.

The eyes of the soul showed that this was a legendary scarab!

There are more than 20 elements in its soul, more than half of which are spells and abilities of the Holy Light system. "Strength" has reached level ten, and there are also "hard carapace" at level five, "toughness" at level eight, and the transcendent element "Child of Light" Wait, it belongs to the top strength in the legendary elementary level.

The legendary scarab headed straight for the glowing sun crystal with a nimble speed that didn't match its huge body.

The other scarabs avoided it one after another, not daring to compete with it.

Ren and Dejiko were still hesitating whether to do it, but the sun crystal was bitten into its mouth, chewed into pieces, and swallowed.

Then, it turned its head to look at the two of them, and let out a sharp hiss.

"It can spot us."

Before Dejiko finished speaking, he saw the legendary scarab opened its hard shell on its back, stretched out a pair of translucent pale gold elytra, vibrated at a frequency invisible to the naked eye, and flew straight towards him.

At the same time, the sandy ground of the entire ruin was churning.

Countless scarabs drilled out of the sand. They seemed to be able to understand the sound waves emitted by the legendary scarabs, and accurately detected the enemies outside the ruins. They fluttered their wings and flew up one after another, gathering in the sky to form a terrifying cloud of insects, overwhelming the sky. Come.

The sound of buzzing and flapping wings mixed with the sound of biting mouthparts is creepy.

"Fuck!"

Ren blurted out a foul word, and subconsciously opened any door to avoid it for the time being, but when he saw the team not far away, he suddenly changed his mind.

The Ultramarines and the Tauren are ready to fight without any fear, but the Kodo beasts under the seat cannot escape the engulfment of the swarm, and I am afraid that there will be only skeletons left in a few minutes. Without the Kodos and the food and water they carried, my group couldn't support much, so we had to leave Atas early.

"Chief, we contain the swarm."

"Others, don't come over, step back immediately, and the Ultramarines will shoot from a distance." Ren quickly gave the order and shouted loudly.

Dejko also reacted.

He raised the large square shield and hammer, let out a roar, blessed himself with a layer of Holy Light Blessing, stomped on the sand with both hooves, bent down his tall body, and charged towards the legendary scarab with horns.

The tauren charged extremely fast, but Ren was faster than him.

With a thought, he flew up, arousing a bloody rage that caused his body to swell twice. At the same time, he held a warhammer in his hand, and with a bang, he turned into a golden lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it landed on the head of the legendary sandworm. He held up the warhammer and smashed it down heavily!

Boom!

A thunderbolt from the blue exploded, and the war hammer smashed through the holy light barrier of the legendary scarab like a bubble. Its hard-as-steel shell was like paper paste. It was smashed through and sunken by the hammer, and its brain burst instantly. , the huge body fell down and fell into the sand.

Countless lightning bolts erupted from the hammer, sweeping across the space within a hundred meters without leaving any dead ends. All the scarabs struck by the lightning instantly turned into ashes, clearing a large area of ​​the sky.

On the ground, Dejiko charged and bumped into the corpse of the legendary scarab, looked up, and was stunned.
