Chapter 1227: Chapter 1227: The Horn! (Third Update)

1227 Horn!

The wooden box gently opened.

In Ye Qiu’s line of sight, a finger-length object appeared.

Ye Qiu’s gaze fell upon it, and he was surprised to find that it was a horn, slender and sharp.

A top-level expert, even in death, held on to this treasure, and it turned out to be a horn.

Even Ye Qiu was a bit confused. No matter how he looked at it, it didn’t seem like something important.

Could this horn help him return to Earth?

Obviously not possible.

Ye Qiu felt a slight disappointment, but he was mentally prepared. Since there was no method to return to Earth here, he would have to search elsewhere.

Just as Ye Qiu was putting the wooden box into the Qiankun Bag, suddenly, the ground shook.

Debris kept falling down, and Ye Qiu quickly retreated.

He couldn’t stay here any longer, so Ye Qiu immediately rushed to the exit, and within just a few breaths, he found himself back at the temple on the ground.

However, the trembling continued and did not stop.

Ye Qiu exited the temple and found the distance shrouded in black mist, as if something was writhing within.

Mysteriously, Ye Qiu sensed a hint of crisis, right in the obscured distance.

Suddenly, the black mist charged directly towards the temple.

Ye Qiu was shocked and quickly retreated.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Countless black insects crawled out, and only then did Ye Qiu see clearly: this was not black mist at all, but the bodies of insects.

They were swarming densely towards Ye Qiu. There was no doubt that if they surrounded him, it would end poorly.

Everywhere these black insects passed, black smoke sizzled, as if something had scorched them.

These creatures must not get close.

Ye Qiu immediately took action, conjuring an ice wall using the Rule Power of Ice, but the moment the ice wall appeared, it was devoured by these black beetles.

The quick collapse of the ice wall startled Ye Qiu, as he hadn’t imagined these insects to be even more terrifying than expected.

If they couldn’t be stopped, then they had to be killed.

With that thought, Ye Qiu brought forth the Rule Power of Fire, transforming it into a gigantic fire dragon that charged straight through the beetles.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

To enhance the flames, Ye Qiu also used the Rule Power of Wind to fan them.

However, the massive fire dragon had scarcely killed a few beetles before these dark creatures all took flight, engulfing the fire dragon.

“They can devour fire too?” Ye Qiu was shocked, these black insects were so overbearing, seemingly able to devour anything.

If bitten by them, even a King Yan level being couldn’t withstand it.

With three Rule Powers proving useless, Ye Qiu had no choice but to use King Yan’s Fury to see if he could eliminate more.

When King Yan’s Fury was unleashed, the black beetles suddenly congregated and formed a human shape, standing upright, then stretched an arm as countless insects wrapped around King Yan’s Fury.

King Yan’s Fury disappeared soundlessly.

Several techniques in a row were useless against these alien insects, Ye Qiu was anxious, these insects were far more troublesome than he had imagined.

Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered, after several attacks, his power was reduced to only a layer, and now it seemed he could only choose to blacken.

Blackening here shouldn’t cause harm, even if faced with backlash, since he was on this desolate planet where he wouldn’t cause more slaughter with his form.

Unless absolutely necessary, Ye Qiu didn’t want to blacken, especially after battling the three ancient tribes, he felt that continuing to blacken might make it impossible to revert to his original self.

To remain perpetually in a blackened form, would be consumed with slaughter and bloodlust.

But for now, it seemed he had no choice.

“Blacken…”

Ye Qiu was about to blacken when his thought was abruptly cut off.

Ye Qiu paused, suddenly noticing that although these black insects were terrifyingly powerful, they seemed to avoid the temple walls and the remaining wood, choosing to bypass them instead. This made Ye Qiu suddenly consider a possibility.

Could it be that everything in this temple could make the black insects retreat?

Ye Qiu quickly retreated into the temple, and sure enough, many insects dared not advance, as if something terrifying lurked here.

Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed he could escape this crisis.

However, Ye Qiu had a question in his heart. Why had these black insects come? Logically, there should be no life on the moon.

On second thought, even the temple had appeared on the moon, so mysterious insects weren’t too surprising.

Anyway, these insects didn’t dare to venture deep into the temple, they could only linger outside, glaring at him fiercely.

Ye Qiu didn’t feel completely at ease, as he felt their arrival had been somewhat coincidental.

Did they come because of me, or because of it?

Ye Qiu took out the horn from the wooden box, scrutinizing it over and over.

Not long after, Ye Qiu rose and approached the position the black insects dared not near.

Seeing Ye Qiu approach, these insects all opened their mouths, wanting to devour him completely.

Ye Qiu targeted one insect and stabbed it with the horn in his hand.

With a tearing sound.

The insect pierced emitted white smoke and vanished instantly.

As expected!

Ye Qiu looked at the horn in his hand and confirmed that it was indeed a treasure, it must not be an ordinary horn.

The black insects were surprisingly afraid of it, perishing at a touch.

Ye Qiu waved the horn again, scaring off the black insects, making them swiftly retreat, as if facing a natural enemy.

“I didn’t expect it to be a treasure for killing these creatures.” Ye Qiu touched the horn, finding it increasingly special.

He touched the sharpest part of the horn, the tip, and suddenly, his finger cut open.

“So sharp.” Ye Qiu was startled, his finger barely touched it and was cut, illustrating just how sharp the horn was.

The defensive power of Ye Qiu’s skin, though not invincible, wouldn’t usually damage so easily, yet it broke effortlessly before this mysterious horn.

Too incredible.

This must be the horn of a powerful being.

Through Ye Qiu’s experiment, he was certain and assured that the horn was extraordinary.

Next, Ye Qiu, holding the mysterious horn, began exterminating the black beetles. Initially ferocious and uncountable, the black insects no longer showed a trace of arrogance before Ye Qiu, retreating swiftly with his approach.

Ye Qiu merely used the strength of his physical body, with a swing of the horn in his hand, taking out dozens or even a hundred black beetles at once.

These insects were complete destroyers, and Ye Qiu sought to annihilate them entirely, without leaving any to avoid sudden attacks.

Ye Qiu’s slaughter against the black beetles was relentless, while the number of black insects rapidly dwindled.

Just as Ye Qiu was enjoying the battle, a light footstep made him halt his actions.

There was someone!

Ye Qiu’s heart jumped into his throat!
