Chapter 203 Found The Nest
At this moment, David was not idle either. He repeatedly found the nests of the ferocious spirit-armored beetle, only to discover that each one was a decoy. Seeing his teammates becoming increasingly anxious and exhausted, he couldn\'t help but speed up his search.
On the other hand, after Fatso\'s attempt to ambush the ferocious spirit-armored beetle failed, he stopped confronting it head-on and instead engaged in hit-and-run tactics. He continuously struck the beetle\'s limbs with his large cleaver, creating a "clang" sound with each strike. Eventually, Fatso\'s strength was nearly depleted, and he was panting as he crouched on the ground.
"This beast is really tough!" Looking at his cleaver with a dulled edge, Fatso couldn\'t help but laugh bitterly. He then looked towards David in the woods, pinning his hopes on him.
Enraged by the continuous attacks from Fatso, the ferocious spirit-armored beetle suddenly became furious. It flapped its wings again, creating a whirlwind that instantly destroyed all nearby fitness equipment. Then, it leaped toward Fatso.
"What the heck! Why is it coming after me?" Fatso yelled in panic and quickly got up from the ground, starting to run. Despite his weight of several hundred pounds, he ran like the wind.
The other members of the Ember Squad saw this and immediately gathered Sophie and Sally in the middle. Charles then took out the gene fruits David had given him earlier and divided them into several pieces for everyone to eat.
"Quickly restore your stamina!" They all nodded and ate the gene fruits, which slightly replenished their stamina. Meanwhile, poor Fatso was still being relentlessly pursued by the ferocious spirit-armored beetle. Seeing his companions eating gene fruits while he was fleeing, he couldn\'t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
"Damn! I\'m being chased by the ferocious spirit-armored beetle , and you guys are having fruit!" While he complained, the ferocious spirit-armored beetle let out a strange cry and accelerated its chase, making Fatso exert all his strength to run.
On the other side, after David had repeatedly destroyed dozens of fake ferocious spirit-armored beetle nests, he arrived at the northern part of the woods. This area had not been explored by their team yet. Pushing aside some vines, he was shocked by the scene before him. There were hundreds of nests of various sizes spread out in this area. Each nest was about a meter apart, and the densely packed mounds of soil gave people goosebumps.
Seeing these nests, David knew that he wouldn\'t have time to probe each one individually. Thus, he stood still and directly activated his spatial abilities. As someone with spatial attributes, he could resonate with the void within a ten-kilometer radius, even causing the surrounding void to vibrate intensely in an instant.
David calmed down and silently felt the spatial order of this area. Then, he clenched his fist and fiercely struck the void in front of him.
"Boom!" With a loud roar, David\'s fist struck the void, instantly creating a continuously spreading shockwave. The shockwave was so powerful that it caused the entire nearby void to tremble. Under the impact of the shockwave, those nests suddenly exploded like timed bombs. Flying rocks and soil covered the entire forest in the blink of an eye.
David looked intently, trying to find the true nest of the ferocious spirit-armored beetle. After a moment, the debris settled, leaving the area in ruins, with even the trees broken in half by David\'s spatial shockwave.
Suddenly! About a hundred meters away from David, there was a nest covered in weeds that remained completely unaffected by the shockwave.
David\'s expression instantly turned serious, realizing that this nest was likely the real lair of the ferocious spirit-armored beetle. Without any hesitation, he flew towards it immediately.
And at that moment, the ferocious spirit-armored beetle, which had been chasing Fatso, suddenly seemed to sense some danger. It quickly turned around and fixed its gaze on David\'s direction. In the next second, it let out an angry roar, and its golden shell emitted waves of golden light as its wings accelerated, leaving Fatso and flying towards David.
This gave Fatso a moment to catch his breath. At the same time, he understood that David must have found the ferocious spirit-armored beetle\'s true nest, triggering its protective instinct towards the mother. The other adult beetles around them also immediately followed the ferocious spirit-armored beetle and left, bringing instant silence to the battlefield.
The team members removed the cloth strips covering their seven apertures and nervously watched David\'s figure. At this moment, David flew towards the nest at high speed, and the ferocious spirit-armored beetle followed closely behind him. Its wings flapped loudly, and the thunderous sound exploded in David\'s ears. However, because of the solidification, he managed to resist much of the sound disturbance.
In the next second, the ferocious spirit-armored beetle let out two angry cries and opened its mouth with long, sharp teeth, aiming to bite David\'s back. David\'s eyes flashed with cold light! He sidestepped and flipped, raising the spatial blade in his hand for a move called "Shadow Moon Void Slash!" Instantly, a light shadow flashed through the space, and the spatial blade tore through the void like a water dragon, slashing towards the ferocious spirit-armored beetle.
Perhaps it didn\'t expect this human to launch a sudden attack, but just as the spatial blade was about to touch it, it released even more larvae from beneath its golden shell. These larvae quickly spread and covered its shell, forming a thick protective layer.
The spatial blade struck its shell, and the powerful force caused ripples to spread throughout the space. David\'s strike directly killed all the larvae on the ferocious spirit-armored beetle\'s shell. It even left a deep ripple on the shell.
The ferocious spirit-armored beetle stepped back in pain, its two eyes radiating an intense and furious glare. David knew that this creature was definitely trying to protect the mother inside its nest; otherwise, it wouldn\'t have launched a surprise attack on him right away.
However, now that he had found its true nest, David didn\'t rush. Instead, he landed on the ground and calmly looked at the ferocious spirit-armored beetle in front of him. The creature emitted a truly terrifying aura.
But after David\'s powerful strike just now, its momentum seemed to have been suddenly defeated. It wandered around in place, not daring to attack again. At the same time, it kept glancing at the nest behind David, showing signs of great anxiety.
At this moment, the other members of the team and Fatso also ran over. Seeing the wound on the ferocious spirit-armored beetle\'s shell, Fatso couldn\'t help but laugh, "Hahaha, it was chasing after me just now. Now it knows how powerful my brother is!"
David glanced at Fatso with a look of disdain on his face.
