Just like that, going back and forth for half an hour, eight huge mantis-like beetles with wings and four limbs that were like scythes had joined the Beetle Herder’s side.

If Negris knew the Beetle Herder was using the Instant Death Halo to accelerate the growth of these beetles, he would have had Ange remove the halo long ago.

This halo, which was almost lethal to beetles, could actually be used to accelerate growth. It was as if the so-called ‘Instant Death’ Halo could actually be used to grow crops.

Looking at one of the mantis beetle’s scythe-like limbs, the Beetle Herder took out a metal plate and sawed off a small piece of it.

“Hahaha!” The Beetle Herder laughed heartily, threw away the metal plate with the emblem of ‘Supreme Chaos’, and excitedly murmured, “It can even cut through a thick metal plate. No matter how thick the can, it can’t resist this. If I can pass on this feature, my bug army will be an unstoppable wave of death!”

After a pause, the Beetle Herder, with shining eyes, murmured, “However, nothing compares to Life Acceleration. Who is using it? If I could get this power, even Hermorthos would have to surrender to me!”

These beetle herders were supposed to be devotees of Hermorthos, but now some of them were having such blasphemous thoughts. How dare they!?

Such outrageous thoughts were almost like Little Zombie demanding to plow Ange’s field, and not being slapped down right then and there would mean they were in a good mood.

However, the Beetle Herder was not slapped down, and instead, the ‘scent’ around him suddenly intensified.

To others, this ‘scent’ might refer to the smell, soul fluctuations, magic waves, and else. But to the Beetle Herder, this ‘scent’ was a sudden, intense release of pheromones, getting all the bugs around him riled up, including the eight mantis beetles.

“I must get the one who can use Life Acceleration. Go on, I’ll clear the way for you.” With that, the Beetle Herder started digging through the blocked steps.

Digging through the bodies of the bugs was exhausting and would be sped up by the halo. He could not bear to let the newly cultivated mantis beetles waste their lives on such a task.

However, as he was digging, the Beetle Herder suddenly felt an empty space in front of him and saw Little Zombie with a couple of hoes. Both were digging, about to break through from below.

Caught by surprise, the Beetle Herder rolled back and shouted at Little Zombie, “Attack!”

The eight mantis beetles lunged forward.

But before they could move, Little Zombie scrambled and ran upwards while howling.

As the eight mantis beetles rushed out of the stone gate following Little Zombie, they were met with rows of explosive fireballs that had already filled up the dark cave, like a galaxy of torches.

A fierce flash of fire, and when the Beetle Herder caught up, he only saw the silhouettes of the eight mantis beetles being engulfed by the flames.

The Beetle Herder froze, at a loss, realizing that he might have underestimated the enemies who seemed capable of much more than just Life Acceleration.

Having reduced the eight mantis beetles to ashes, Ange’s gaze turned to the Beetle Herder. A row of explosive fireballs appeared again in front of him.

Without a moment’s hesitation, the Beetle Herder sunk to his knees: “Don’t kill me. Whatever you want, I’ll agree. Whoever you’re looking for, I’ll lead the way. If you want bugs, I’ll breed them. If it’s about robbing, I’ll do it. If it’s about killing, I’ll do it. Just don’t kill me!”

Negris was stunned by the Beetle Herder’s desperate plea: “You spoke so smoothly, you must have practiced, right?”
