Chapter 644: Nature’s Gift
The initial panic had finally settled.
Qin Sang murmured, "As expected, Crimson Fire Gilded Gold holds immense allure for them. Good thing I had planned ahead and left myself a way out."
He was not one to act rashly. Spreading out the larvae of the Blood-Winged Ghost-Headed Wasps over a wide area had been a precaution precisely for situations like this. In case a terrifying spiritual insect was drawn in, he could detonate the larvae as a fallback.
Compared to chasing off an intruder, the Crimson Fire Gilded Gold was undoubtedly far more important.
Spiritual insects did not possess high intelligence. They could only make simple decisions like this.
Every species of spiritual insect had its own temperament. At the time, Qin Sang had been uncertain just how powerful the lure of Crimson Fire Gilded Gold truly was. After all, it only had value when a spiritual insect was on the verge of its next metamorphosis.
Now, it seemed he had underestimated its attraction.
This incident proved that the method was effective. However, what kind of creature it would eventually draw in was no longer something he could control.
Inwardly, Qin Sang cursed those who had discovered the Twilight Stink Bug. He couldn’t tell whether they had provided false information or whether there had been more than one bug in the cavern—an entire nest, perhaps.
Previously, the eldest Twilight Stink Bug never appeared. It must have been the lure of the Crimson Fire Gilded Gold that roused it.
The one now pursuing him was truly terrifying. It had easily discovered the hidden location of the flying yaksha and had displayed terrifying strength far beyond what Qin Sang had expected. It was likely at the late stage of the third metamorphosis.
Its attacks left no trace and seemed capable of bypassing spell defenses. Only when a blow landed could its presence be sensed.
