After the frenzy, Meng Xiang felt that his body and spirit had reached their limits. He panted and limped to Yuan Zhi, sat down and asked, "Xiao Zhi, do you have any water?"
Yuan Zhi shook her head. Meng Xiang put Moye down in disappointment, untied the nuclear bomb box from Yuan Zhi's back, assembled the nuclear gun and nuclear bomb, and snorted as he looked outside the cave: "What will happen to us if Ding Jie completes the task?"
"My consciousness immediately became blurred, just like in a dream. Soon, we will be able to return to the main divine space." Yuan Zhi groaned, straightened her thin waist, looked at the nuclear gun in Meng Xiang's hand and asked, "Now we really have no way to escape. If Ding Jie cannot complete the task in time, what are you going to do?"
"Humph!" Meng Xiang shook the nuclear gun in his hand, gritted his teeth, and said with an unyielding look: "If that bastard Ding Jie can't complete the task in time, when the air is exhausted, I will try to dig a small hole in the cave so that we can breathe fresh air."
"Pfft!" Yuan Zhi couldn't help laughing. She took a deep breath and said, "From your expression just now, I thought you were going to take Moye out and fight the stink bugs."
"Fight for life? There are tens of thousands of bugs outside. If I go out, I won't fight for life, I will die. Am I so stupid? But if I have to, I will let them taste the power of my nuclear bomb." Meng Xiang's throat moved, and he swallowed his saliva and said, "I'm really thirsty. Why don't you put some beer or other drinks in the space bag?"
Yuan Zhi lowered her head, looking a little embarrassed: "I originally had a few bottles of orange juice, but I shared them with Ding Jie and the others in the quarantine area. Maybe there is beer in Nice..."
Meng Xiang simply lay on the ground, propped his head up with his hands, and muttered to himself as he stared at the top of the cave, "It seems my bad luck is not over yet. I hope Ding Jie can finish his task quickly, otherwise we will die of thirst even if we don't starve to death."
Yuan Zhi turned her head and glanced at Meng Xiang, and said softly: "If there is a chance to escape, just run away by yourself first. You will never be able to escape with me."
"Let's see what happens. Although I'm not a gentleman, I'm definitely not a villain."
"No, you must take care of your own life first. In the world of reincarnation, only the fittest survive. The morality of the real world is a stumbling block to survival in the world of reincarnation. If he hadn't saved me at that time, he might not have died..." Yuan Zhi said, thinking about something.
Meng Xiang thought: "That guy might not just have saved this little girl. It seems that Yuan Zhi is hiding something, but it has nothing to do with me."
They were extremely tired, and after chatting for a while, they both lay down on the ground and fell asleep.
Meng Xiang slept for nearly two hours. He dreamed that he was hiding in his big bed at home. The QQ on the bedside was making a "beep beep" sound. Suddenly, he felt his cheek being gently touched. He opened his eyes and saw Yuan Zhi gently touching his face with her left hand. Seeing that he woke up, Yuan Zhi leaned over and whispered, "There is a powerful monster in the cave. I hope it hasn't found us, but we have to prepare for the worst."
Meng Xiang got up and picked up Mo Xie and asked, "How did you know?"
"With your keen sense, if you really unlock your potential, you can also sense the approach of danger. This sense of danger is the same as the murderous aura often mentioned in martial arts novels." Yuan Zhi stared at the rocks blocking the cave, and sweat dripped to the ground like pearls from a broken string. It was not because of the heat in the cave, but because of the cold sweat of fear.
Meng Xiang looked at Yuan Zhi's expression and couldn't help but feel his heart beating rapidly. The "boom boom" sound was faintly visible in this dead silent sealed wormhole.
"Boom!" The rocks blocking the cave suddenly exploded, and a ball of golden light rushed out from the dark wormhole. With a sharp "buzzing" sound, a golden beetle stared at them.
Yuan Zhi was stunned. Meng Xiang couldn't help but curse loudly: "Damn it, how unlucky it is, why is it the golden beetle again, damn it, heaven, God, are you kidding me? I'm just a newcomer, why do I always encounter golden beetles."
Behind the rocks that were knocked away, the originally dark cave was illuminated by the ball of light thrown by Yuan Zhi. Unknown insects that looked similar to golden beetles but had shiny black bodies were wriggling their antennae on their foreheads and staring at the cave hungrily. They flapped their wings from time to time, causing a slight breeze to rise in the originally silent cave.
Yuan Zhi was stunned, as if she had figured something out, and said to herself: "I just find it strange that this wormhole is much smaller than other wormholes. It turns out that this wormhole is the nest of the golden beetle."
Thinking of the power of the golden beetle, Meng Xiang felt chilled. Now that he knew that there were so many unformed golden beetles living in this cave, his original hope of survival turned into despair. He held Moye and asked in a trembling voice: "Xiaozhi, what should we do now?"
"Wait to die." These two words came out of Yuan Zhi's little mouth.
"But I don't want to die. No, I don't want to die so miserably." Meng Xiang murmured. He raised the nuclear gun and handed it to Yuan Zhi's chest, letting Yuan Zhi hold the nuclear gun with her only left forearm that could barely move. "If I die in battle, I hope you can launch the nuclear bomb before I die. I have already removed the safety switch, all you have to do is pull the trigger." He stared at the golden beetle that was slightly spreading its wings in the distance, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely: "Come on, let's fight one-on-one. How dare you low-level creatures challenge humans?"
Meng Xiang held the back of Moye's knife against his body, and approached the golden beetle step by step. He could have lifted Moye and ran over to chop it, but now it seemed that every step closer he took, he lost a point of life. If possible, he hoped that the road between him and the golden beetle would never end.
Although his steps were slow, the golden beetle seemed impatient. It flapped its wings, making a sharp sound, and a ball of golden light hit Meng Xiang.
Just as Meng Xiang reacted, his body rolled backwards uncontrollably and only stopped when it hit the rocks at the entrance of the cave. At this time, Meng Xiang's clothes were torn and his body had been rubbed into a bloody mess by the ground. Fortunately, the golden beetle only hit the back of Moye's knife, otherwise, with his flesh and blood body, his intestines would have been pierced and his stomach would have been ripped apart.
Meng Xiang felt a burning pain all over his body, his abdominal organs seemed to be tumbling and breaking, and his whole body was falling apart. He saw the golden beetle's hind legs rubbing against the ground, ready to strike the final blow at any time.
Yuan Zhiyi was on the cave wall not far from the cave entrance. She held the nuclear gun tightly, with her left hand ready to pull the trigger at any time. As long as the nuclear bomb was launched, it was unknown whether the golden beetle could survive, but she and Meng Xiang would definitely be burned to ashes by the nuclear bomb.
As death approached, Meng Xiang once again felt that unknown power slowly surging out and filling his body. This time it was stronger than the last time. In an instant, he felt extremely excited, and the pain gradually disappeared. The movements of the golden beetle in front of him seemed to slow down, and every subtle movement of the unformed golden beetle behind him seemed to be in his sight and known like the back of his hand.
He felt that this unknown force had reached a critical point, like a locked door, and this force was colliding and trying to break out.
The golden beetle made a buzzing sound, and Meng Xiang felt a powerful aura approaching. Before he could think, his body instinctively dodged to the left.
"Boom!" The rocks around Meng Xiang exploded, and a beam of light shot in from the cave entrance. As sand and stones flew, the rustling sound of insects outside poured in. What came into view was tens of thousands of stink bugs outside the cave, staring at him from outside the cave and in the distance, ready to make a move.
The golden beetle broke through the cave entrance and flew out. It was not in a hurry to fly back into the cave to chase and kill Meng Xiang. Instead, it turned around and made a "buzzing" sound like a general facing his soldiers. Thousands of bedbugs immediately stopped, as if accepting the golden beetle's instructions.
Meng Xiang's previous words, "Although I am not a gentleman, I am definitely not a villain," sounded very solemn, but his actions were exactly like those of a "villain." While the golden beetle was showing off outside the cave, he quickly ran to Yuan Zhi, snatched the nuclear gun with one hand and aimed it outside the cave, naturally saying to himself, "How dare a mere low-level animal fight with a human? If the nuclear bomb can't deal with you, I'll accept my fate."
