Chapter 801: Chapter 805: The Third Test 38
But the Black Mountain Monster didn’t come to ask him any questions, instead, he spoke with a surprising astonishment.
"Oh my— you’ve actually moved forward so much. It seems I should summon my companions to come out and play with you."
Upon hearing this, the lead Beast Soldier’s heart sank with a sense of foreboding.
As the sandy ground trembled slightly, a multitude of familiar Insect Beasts that everyone recognized emerged from the dust.
Nobody knew what was going on, but one by one, they seemed to have taken a growth enhancer, having at least doubled in size since before.
If originally rolling them up, they were only the size of Su Tang’s fist, now they were at least as big as her foot when rolled up.
Note, that’s when they were rolled up.
Creatures like Snakes and Centipedes, being both thin and long, stretched out to at least 1 meter long!
Looking at these enlarged Insect Beasts swarming densely out of the dust, pair after pair of their red eyes seemed to have already considered them as meals on the plate.
The lead Beast Soldier’s calves began to tremble at once.
If it weren’t for the rule forbidding movement, he would have wished to slap himself hard at this moment.
Watching the Insect Beasts drawing closer, the lead Beast Soldier was nearly wetting himself!
He shouted loudly, "I want to ask a question, I want to ask a question!!"
The Black Mountain Monster spoke somewhat indolently.
"Hmm— the competitor running at the front, do you have any questions for me? Only about matters concerning the test, though."
The lead Beast Soldier had long forgotten what question he initially wanted to ask.
All he wanted now was for those Insect Beasts to be as far from him as possible.
He recalled the Beastman who had been gnawed on by the Insect Beasts until not even scraps were left.
The lead Beast Soldier’s voice became piercingly shrill, almost breaking in pitch.
"How can I make them not touch me and stay far away from me? Quick! Hurry, hurry!"
The lead Beast Soldier screeched nearly madly, while the Insect Beasts, undisturbed, continued their orderly approach towards him.
The distance was closing in.
Only then did the Black Mountain Monster speak leisurely.
"My little buddies are so cute, how could you be afraid of them? Well... since you asked, I’ll tell you— my companions like Holy Fruit Shells but detest Holy Water."
The Insect Beasts drew even closer to the lead Beast Soldier.
The lead Beast Soldier felt he was nearly driven insane, "Holy Water?! What the hell is Holy Water?!"
However much he howled, the Black Mountain Monster simply ignored him.
By the time the Insect Beasts had climbed onto his foot, the itchy, numbing sensation of their touch made the lead Beast Soldier’s fur stand on end.
"Ah!! Get off, get off all of you!"
He howled in desperation, only to watch helplessly as his body was overrun with all sorts of Insect Beasts.
He activated his abnormal abilities, hardening his entire skin, so that the Insect Beasts couldn’t bite through.
But this was not a viable long-term solution, for his abnormal abilities wouldn’t last long.
"Are you ready? I’m going to start counting now—"
When the Black Mountain Monster began to speak these words, it meant they could move again.
The lead Beast Soldier hastily shook all the Insect Beasts off his body with great force.
Perhaps the movement was a bit too violent, causing some water to spill from the water flask hung at his waist.
The lead Beast Soldier keenly noticed that where the water fell, the Insect Beasts were very wary and avoided it.
Suddenly.
An epiphany struck!
Holy Water, water.
The lead Beast Soldier’s eyes brimmed with tears of joy; it turned out the Holy Water was the water from the white pearls they had collected.
