CHAPTER 260: CHAPTER 261: SEEMING FAMILIAR, YOU CAN’T ESCAPE ONCE YOU’VE MESSED WITH ME!

With the continuous rumbling in my ears, an extremely large deep pit suddenly appeared on the ground!

And in the pit, a giant monster suddenly appeared, recklessly stretching its two enormous, jet-black, and sharp horns upwards!

It had a hard, glossy shell that could reflect sunlight, and beneath its giant compound eyes was a vertically growing giant mouth, split into five parts, emitting a tearing roar as it opened towards the sky, revealing countless teeth inside!

"Is this... a beetle magnified hundreds of times?" Lin Yue looked at this gigantic creature and couldn’t help but say.

Although it was almost completely different from the beetles on Earth in some ways, its general shape made it seem like an enormous insect.

What on earth does this thing eat to grow so big?

At the moment, its pair of compound eyes were continuously staring at him and Bai in the air, even ignoring the two Tentacle Monsters.

Lin Yue discovered that after the appearance of the Giant Beetle, the Tentacle Monsters seemed to be fleeing hastily, looking quite frightened.

But the next second, the Giant Beetle suddenly turned its head towards that direction and spat out a blob of green matter, and immediately, the two Tentacle Monsters let out screams!

Smoke billowed from their bodies, and the green matter seemed to be the digestive liquid of the Giant Beetle!

Lin Yue seemed to understand why these two Tentacle Monsters suddenly appeared here.

They weren’t after him at all; they were hiding from the Giant Beetle!

"Bai! Fly higher!" Lin Yue knew that once it subdued those two prey, it might be even more interested in them in the sky.

This monster is definitely not something to mess with!

Lin Yue didn’t need to try to know that neither a sniper rifle nor a crossbow arrow could likely leave a mark on its incredibly hard shell, and despite its glossy surface, flames could not ignite on it.

After all, its shell was too smooth and bright.

However...

Lin Yue pondered whether its mouth might be a weak point.

Or maybe pouring gasoline on its shell and setting it on fire to roast it might also be a good idea?

In this Secret Realm, whenever monsters appeared, Lin Yue’s first reaction was how to eliminate them.

He also had a notion of wanting to eradicate all the monsters in this Secret Realm on Earth.

Here is the home of Earthlings, not the Otherworld.

And this place is more suitable for human survival, with water resources and various foods far more easily obtained than in the Otherworld.

Whizz!!

Suddenly, the Giant Beetle, as if launching a cannonball, instantly shot a blob of green digestive liquid at their position in the sky!

Bai reacted immediately, folding its wings and plummeting downward, then extending its wings again just tens of meters above the ground, not only dodging that lethal attack but also giving Lin Yue an opportunity to approach the monster at close range!

Lin Yue already had a fiercely burning torch in his hand and threw it directly at the giant mouth with a diameter of several meters!

However, the fierce airflow blew the torch from its almost perfect aim to one side, finally hitting the Giant Beetle’s shell and falling to the ground.

Bai flew back into the high sky, and Lin Yue saw that there wasn’t even a hint of burning on the Giant Beetle’s shell.

This is somewhat similar to that Poison Celestial Dragon...

The Poison Celestial Dragon’s shell could also withstand flame burns, but throwing a torch into its mouth could still kill it.

But the problem was how to throw the torch in.

"Bai, it seems we can’t just go back like this," Lin Yue glanced back at the direction of the Ancient Secret Realm Gate on the beach.

Although this monster may not necessarily make it through the Ancient Gate to the Otherworld, leaving it here doesn’t seem like a good idea either.

With such a raging creature blocking the way here, it might not be too easy if we want to come back tomorrow.

Unless it loses interest in them, the situation would become very difficult to handle eventually.

Bai flapped its wings and flew east according to Lin Yue’s instructions, and soon, Lin Yue found that the giant beetle had also climbed onto the ground, but instead of being able to spread wings as Lin Yue imagined, it slowly moved forward using its eight jointed limbs.

Not so fast...

Lin Yue finally had Bai land on a rooftop to wait, as it seemed this behemoth wasn’t adapted to walking on the streets; it was slow and appeared to be somewhat uncoordinated.

Lin Yue looked carefully at its jointed legs through the sighting scope and found that they were covered with countless sharp spines.

And between these spines, there were dozens of semicircular exoskeletons extending outward.

Looking at the giant horns on its head, Lin Yue understood. This thing was something that lived underground... Wait, underground?

Lin Yue vaguely remembered seeing this insect somewhere before.

On the Lizardmen’s mural?

Unfortunately, without a way to open the system panel in the Secret Realm, he couldn’t confirm it now.

The Giant Beetle passed the two Tentacle Monsters sealed by its venom and suddenly opened its huge mouth, using its limb legs to devour them.

On the rooftop, Lin Yue set up the crossbow carriage and aimed it between the Giant Beetle’s mouth and the Tentacle Monsters!

He lit the Crossbow Carriage Burning Arrow and immediately fired it!

BOOM!!

A rumble resounded, and at the same time, a fireball set one Tentacle Monster on fire, while the other was affected as well, burning in a roaring blaze!

And the Giant Beetle, unable to dodge in time, had its ugly mouth catch fire, spreading deeper inside.

"Got it!" Lin Yue mounted Bai’s back and had Bai fly into the sky again, but he found that the Giant Beetle had used its two enormous horns to pry open the ground, and with resounding roars, a large amount of soil and rocks flew out, and the Giant Beetle dug diagonally into the soil!

A wisp of thick smoke rose, and after the Giant Beetle extended its head from the ground again, Lin Yue could see that the flames had already disappeared!

Damn, it can cut off the oxygen to extinguish flames?

Whizz!

As if seeking revenge, the Giant Beetle once again shot digestive liquid towards the sky, but the clever Bai, having understood its attack patterns, easily dodged this which could be considered the Giant Beetle’s biggest killer move!

Lin Yue knew that fighting hard wouldn’t bring good results; this thing had to be outwitted.

When firepower fails, beyond escape, one considers using their wits to see if they can take the opponent down.

Especially after the crossbow carriage burning arrow had inflicted some damage, Lin Yue had some ideas about this matter.

Now that you’ve shown your health bar, can I not take you down?

"Bai, fly east, shake it off and then fly low among the buildings, we’ll go back to the shelter first, drop off some things, then bring some stuff out!"

"Gawoo!"

...

At this moment.

The few people who were nearly crawling on the floor, observed the entire battle through the shattered floor-to-ceiling windows.

But they couldn’t move a step.

If that giant beetle discovered them...

Would Lin Yue come back?

At this moment, these few people were deeply praying in their hearts, hoping that the Lin Yue riding the white dragon could return!
