Chapter 130 – Damaged Sacred Beetle Ovary
Wei Xiao Bei stretched out his hand, grasped the great spear, and jumped down the sand dune. He dodged past the rocks that were stuck in the sand and sent out his spear towards the large eggs.
The large egg exceeded three meters in diameter. It was impossible for Wei Xiao Bei to miss it.
In an instant, the spear head pierced the egg.
Something Wei Xiao Bei did not expect, happened. The egg shell appeared very soft, but his sharp and flexible great spear was only able to insert an inch. Wei Xiao Bei was unable to break the shell in one go, and there was even a rebounding force which had sent his great spear bouncing out.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Wei Xiao Bei pulled back and thrusted again. In a few moments, he had made 7 thrusts on the egg shell, but the great spear was still not able to pierce through the shell at all.
When Wei Xiao Bei pulled back his great spear, the depressions on the large egg quickly recovered back to its original state.
Wei Xiao Bei stuck the great spear on the sand and frowned at the large egg.
This situation was something he had never imagined. If it was a normal insect egg, it would have been very weak and the insect’s success in laying was calculated by numbers. Many insects would lay eggs everywhere and not lay it in a single place. And then, when the insect came out of the egg, they would make the place their home and multiply.
However, the Radiant Sacred Beetle’s egg was different. After being sent flying this far, it did not break at all. Even his spear was unable to pierce through its shell. The shell was like an enhanced rubber board.
Wei Xiao Bei pondered for a while and then retreated 20 meters, stopping only when he reached the top of a sand dune. He spat out the muddy Qi residing in his body and with a light shout, he leapt down and increased his speed.
Iron Mountain Lean!
When he was about five meters from the egg, Wei Xiao Bei increased his speed again and focused all the power of his body into his left arm. He then striked the egg with this immense power.
Bang!
His elbow collided with the large egg, causing a large impact on the egg, until Wei Xiao Bei’s entire body had sunk into the egg.
However, in the next instant, the egg once again had a rebound effect and sent him flying backwards.
If Wei Xiao Bei was not agile enough, he would have probably hit a large rock. When he was sent flying, he quickly grabbed onto the great spear and used the resistive force of the sand to stop himself from flying away.
With such a strong rebound force, Wei Xiao Bei would not have been able to get away from receiving heavy injuries if he had hit a large rock.
However, when he stopped his body, he had also spit out a mouthful of blood.
When he spat it out, he felt slightly more comfortable and looked at the large egg.
Although the large egg had shot him backwards, it had still received 40 percent of the impact, rebounding 60 percent of it.
Looking at it, the egg was unable to defend against the strong force. As a result, the egg vibrated, making the large Sacred Beetle inside restless and start to gnaw itself out of the egg.
Everything had a weakness.
This was an ancient truth.
Wei Xiao Bei could not deal with the flexibility of the egg shell, but because the large Sacred Beetle tore it open, a small hole had appeared on the egg shell and quickly expanded.
A soft bodied large Sacred Beetle climbed out form the egg.
Compared to a matured large Sacred Beetle, this large Sacred Beetle was without a doubt, weaker.
Without the brilliance of the golden radiance, it was not able to quickly harden its shell, and Wei Xiao Bei immediately pierced it.
Puchi!
The spearhead did not meet any obstructions at all as it pierced through the beetle. In fact, if Wei Xiao Bei had not pulled back his spear quick enough and kick the beetle away, the beetle would have probably bit him.
Even though its shell was weak, the large Sacred Beetle was still a 3-Star Creature. Its vitality was something the Wei Xiao Bei could not compare to.
Wei Xiao Bei had already took the time to look at his battlelog.
The large Sacred Beetle’s true name was not called large Sacred Beetle, but just Sacred Beetle.
Moreover, it was a normal 3-Star Creature!
The three meter long great spear pierce was not enough to make it go down. On the contrary, this had only aroused the Sacred Beetle’s fury, causing it to pounce towards him.
If the Sacred Beetle had been under the Radiant Sacred Beetle’s golden radiance, it would have been able to harden its shell. Once its shell was completely hardened, Wei Xiao Bei would have no way of harming it at all.
No matter how strong Wei Xiao Bei was, he couldn’t even compare to the six limbed, four winged snake.
However, it was different now.
Without the golden radiance, the Sacred Beetle had not yet fully matured. Adding the fact of its premature incubation, it had lacked two legs and its wings had not yet formed.
Moreover, with its shell softer, it could not block Wei Xiao Bei’s great spear at all.

With these two factors, the Sacred Beetle’s power was at rock bottom.
After almost being bitten by the Sacred Beetle, Wei Xiao Bei changed tactics. Everytime he attacked he would strike it from behind.
The Sacred Beetle’s turning speed was slow. Moreover, since it was lacking a few legs and wings, its charging speed was also slow.
Wei Xiao Bei moved like he was dancing as he continuously thrust the great spear towards the Sacred Beetle. Every time the Sacred Beetle was pierced, a bowl-sized injury would be left.
Gradually, the Sacred Beetle’s shell was hardening to the point that Wei Xiao Bei’s great spear started bouncing back.
However, it was already too late. Even if the Sacred Beetle was able to stop its injuries from increasing, the holes already on its body were leaking out fluids, further weakening the Sacred Beetle.
In the end, Wei Xiao Bei thrust his spear three times to cut off its head. In the end, it could not stand still anymore and dropped to the ground. Its four limbs could only twitch as it lost its earlier ferocity.
After following a careful and consistent method, Wei Xiao Bei continued to thrust his great spear until the evolution points in his status panel changed.
Afterwards, Wei Xiao Bei did not rest at all. He pulled out the White Mist Knife and dissected the beetle. Everytime he cut out an organ, he would take a look at his status panel to see if the organ had any uses.
After busying himself for a while, Wei Xiao Bei put his knife away and rested on the sand.
The Sacred Beetle’s death had given Wei Xiao Bei generous rewards.
Just the evolution points alone had given 480 points.
Among the monsters that Wei Xiao Bei had defeated, this was the one that gave him the most rewards.
Other than that, he gained 2 items on hand, Damaged Sacred Beetle Ovary and Sacred Beetle Jaw.
Moreover, perhaps because his White Mist Knife had been stained with the strong monster’s blood, a change had occurred.
White Mist Knife (sharp, slight corrosive property, currently evolving)
After paying attention to the words in his status panel, a brief description appeared. To evolve the White Mist Knife, it needed to be stained with more strong monster blood.
As for the other items, they came from the Sacred Beetle, but their uses were different.
If the Damaged Sacred Beetle Ovary was in perfect condition, it would have been able to create 1000 eggs and turn into 1000 Sacred Beetle Descendants.
However, after being damaged by the great spear, it only had one use.
Feed, increases obedience.
After inspecting it some more and finding that there was no other description, he temporarily placed it inside his backpack.
The Sacred Beetle Ovary seemed to have orb-like things inside. There were no blood stains on it, or any smell, so he did not have to worry about it ruining the backpack.
As for the Sacred Beetle Jaw, there was only one side. It was very hard to the point that the White Mist Knife was only able to leave a small scratch on it. The other side was not fully developed. As a result, it was not as soft as to be destroyed in one of Wei Xiao Bei’s attacks.
As for the description of the Sacred Beetle Jaw, it was much more simple: Material.
In other words, it was used as material to create other objects.
Wei Xiao Bei looked at it. It was around one meter long and was shaped like a bent knife. He made a note to search for a way to later on turn it into a knife.
Wei Xiao Bei could not just put the jaw inside his backpack. As a result, he used a strip of cloth to make a scabbard and bound it to his back.
These two items however, should not have been everything that it could offer. As a normal 3-Star Creature, the benefits he could gain should not be only this. However, because the beetle was not yet mature, and because Wei Xiao Bei had heavily damaged it, this had made it hard for him to obtain any more benefits from it.
After finishing his tasks, Wei Xiao Bei looked at the distant fire dragon and shook his head.
I would probably not be able to come back to this desert for a long time.
With the fire dragon there, a small amount of carelessness would mean death!
After inspecting everything once again, Wei Xiao Bei moved away from the fire dragon.
Although the fire dragon’s movements had changed the landscape, Wei Xiao Bei was still able to remember the direction, so he did not worry about getting lost.
The way back, however, was not smooth sailing.
He did not know if this was caused by the fire dragon’s movement, but on his way back, he did not see a single Giant Black Scorpion at all. He only saw countless stones and boulders.
Ssss!
After walking for a while, Wei Xiao Bei suddenly felt a sharp pain on the soles of his feet. When he raised it up, he saw that a Sacred Beetle Descendant was biting his soles. Even after it being in the air, It did not release its hold at all.
Wei Xiao Bei frowned and released electricity. A blue spark flowed through his blood and shocked the Sacred Beetle Descendant hanging onto his foot.
The Sacred Beetle Descendant’s tight grip suddenly loosened, and after falling down, Wei Xiao Bei stepped on it to its death.
How great would it be if I had an intact pair of shoes.
As Wei Xiao Bei thought this, he waited until the injury healed before continuing onward.
