109: Invasion from another world?

Why are these Scythe Beetles so aggressive? The moment they saw Qin Shilei, they looked as if they had seen their father's killer, as if they wanted to devour him whole.

Qin Shilei sidestepped the foreleg that was thrusting towards him, then swung his right hand, aiming at the Scythe Beetle's right chest and abdomen.

Clang!

A shower of sparks appeared, as if striking metal.

He hadn't expected the Scythe Beetle's carapace to be so hard.

The Scythe Beetle, missing its attack, immediately turned its body and rushed over again, its speed increasing slightly.

The Yuan Qi in Qin Shilei’s Dantian was channeled into the Blood Soul Sword by his will.

Nourished by Yuan Qi, Blood Soul became even more vibrant, and a silvery electric snake occasionally flashed within its crimson glow.

He thrust his sword into the joint of the opponent's raised foreleg.

With a clang, the opponent's left foreleg was severed by Qin Shilei's sword.

“Hiss!”

The injured Scythe Beetle let out a sharp hiss.

At the same time, an arc-shaped energy blade formed from its remaining foreleg and rapidly struck Qin Shilei.

Qin Shilei flashed, dodging the energy blade, then transformed into an afterimage, circling the Scythe Beetle and continuously slashing with his sword.

In a short while, he had dismembered all six of the Scythe Beetle's legs.

His final strike was aimed at the creature's neck, severing its head.

He had thought this Scythe Beetle would be much stronger, but it was nothing special after all.

Aside from its hard carapace, it was much weaker than a Tyrant.

Its overall strength was only around Black Iron Eight or Nine Star.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from behind him again.

“Master, be careful.”

Xiao Qiang descended from the sky, his claws striking downwards, piercing deeply into the body of a Scythe Beetle that had just crawled out of the cave.

Then he flew back into the sky and threw it high up.

Thud!

The Scythe Beetle was thrown to its death, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Qin Shilei poked his head into the cave again, but found no third Scythe Beetle appearing.

Where did this cave lead?

Could the Scythe Beetles have emerged from a secret realm?

Qin Shilei's heart felt as if a kitten was constantly scratching at it.

After some thought, he decided to explore this suddenly appearing cave.

First, he took out a very long rope and tied it to a large tree not far away.

Then he took out a headlamp and fastened it to his forehead, then clipped on a rappelling buckle, and slid down the rope into the cave.

After sliding dozens of meters, he suddenly discovered a pair of blue-glowing eyes floating upwards.

Thunderbolt Thrust!

Qin Shilei instantly killed the opponent using a skill from Thunderous Nine Heavens.

Bang, bang, bang!

The Scythe Beetle's corpse continuously slammed against the walls of the cave, falling into the depths.

The sound became fainter and fainter, then suddenly ceased.

Qin Shilei continued to slide down.

During this time, he killed two more Scythe Beetles.

After sliding down another hundred meters, he finally saw what was at the deepest part of the cave.

At the bottom of the cave was a flat surface, like a water curtain, emitting a faint blue light.

Just then, another Scythe Beetle emerged from the water curtain.

A cold light flashed, and Qin Shilei severed the opponent's head with a single sword stroke.

The headless Scythe Beetle's body sank into the water curtain, disappearing without a trace.

Qin Shilei inserted Blood Soul into the water curtain, as if inserting it into a very viscous liquid.

He inserted the entire sword body of Blood Soul, waited for a moment, then pulled it out again.

Blood Soul showed no change at all.

Qin Shilei thought for a moment, then extended his left index finger.

“Warning! Warning! Warning!”

“The opposing world is extremely dangerous. It is not recommended for the host to enter now!”

The sudden voice in his mind startled Qin Shilei so much that he almost let go of the rope and fell.

Qin Shilei carefully distinguished the sound and realized it was from the Universal Entry Refresh System.

The Entry System actually issued a warning?

Could the Entry System communicate?

“Are you there? Come out and chat.” Qin Shilei silently called out a few times in his mind.

Unfortunately, there was no response.

Never mind, if it can't communicate, it can't communicate.

Qin Shilei turned to analyze the system's warning sound.

Opposing world?

Could this be a Space Rift?

Are those Scythe Beetles creatures from an Other World?

Was the light pillar that appeared earlier an anomaly formed when the Space Rift appeared?

Numerous thoughts flashed through Qin Shilei's mind.

Since the Entry System said it was extremely dangerous and advised against entering now, then he wouldn't enter for the time being.

Should he just leave this passage here indefinitely?

What if powerful creatures from the Other World crawled out of the rift?

Or perhaps the extremely powerful creatures couldn't cross over yet, and only the Scythe Beetles could.

If Scythe Beetles were as numerous as zombies, it would probably be a big problem too.

Qin Shilei thought for a moment, then dug a much larger circle around the cave opening above the spatial passage.

With a wave of his hand, a dump truck was perfectly wedged into the area above the Space Rift, completely blocking it.

Presumably, the Scythe Beetles that had just crossed the Space Rift wouldn't easily deal with a dump truck with thick iron plates.

Once the opponents couldn't easily emerge from the ground, they might turn back to their own world.

To be safe, Qin Shilei set up three more trucks above to block the cave entrance.

Just as Qin Shilei was about to climb out of the cave, Xiao Qiang's high-pitched warning cry suddenly came from above.

Qin Shilei used both his hands and feet, rapidly climbing towards the exit.

The eagle's cry coming from above the cave entrance grew more and more urgent.

From the urgent cries, it was clear that Xiao Qiang was urging his master to climb up quickly.

But the cave was almost vertical, and Qin Shilei couldn't climb fast at all.

And the cave was too deep; when he climbed to about ten meters from the entrance, a massive head appeared above the cave entrance.

Qin Shilei, using the headlamp on his forehead, was astonished to discover that it was actually the head of a Tyrant.

Before he could figure out why a Tyrant had suddenly appeared in this valley, he suddenly felt the rope in his hand loosen, and his body involuntarily fell into the depths of the cave.

Cloud Soaring Steps!

Qin Shilei immediately stepped with his left foot on his right, then his right foot on his left, flying upwards rapidly.

The Yuan Qi in his Dantian was also continuously channeled into the Blood Soul in his hand, preparing to unleash a powerful strike to force back the Tyrant and break out of the cave.

Suddenly, he felt a shadow overhead, and a massive figure descended from the sky.

It was Xiao Qiang diving down, preparing to force the Tyrant away, allowing his master to safely emerge from the bottom of the cave.

Xiao Qiang's figure swept across the opening of the cave, and the Tyrant was indeed forced away, making the cave opening clear and unobstructed.

Qin Shilei leaped out, only to find more than ten blood-stained feathers slowly floating down.

Xiao Qiang had been injured in order to force back the Tyrant.

Before Qin Shilei could check Xiao Qiang's injuries, the scene before him made his heart pound, his hairs stand on end, and his rain-soaked body felt chilling, as if he had suddenly entered a minus thirty-degree ice storage.

Thousands of Mutated Zombies packed the small valley, all staring at him fiercely with their blood-red eyes.

Enveloped by them in the center was a figure wearing a cloak.

Zombie King?

The photograph of the Zombie King given by the military instantly flashed in Qin Shilei's mind.

When did the Zombie King bring its subordinates to this valley?

Now was not the time to investigate why the Zombie King and its subordinates had come here.

The Tyrant's fist, as big as a wok, was already smashing down on his head.
