I've Activated The Hidden Path of Beast Evolution-Chapter 179 - This Won’t Do

179 This Won’t Do

“Big White is still being used as a mount by Master!”

Rose also appeared. Little Nine looked at the Firmament Dragon King and smiled. Big White was the name she gave the Firmament King. Because the Firmament King was white-gold all over and was very beautiful, she named him Big White.

When the Firmament King heard Little Nine’s words, it howled unhappily. Then, it wanted to throw her off and shake its body.

Ye Fan smiled helplessly, then patted the fox girl’s head.

!!

“That’s all for small talk. Prepare for battle!”

“Understood!” Little Nine blinked. Then, she looked enthusiastically at the Giant Stone Worms that were charging over.

In the next second, countless flames ignited behind her. The flames condensed into a huge dragon with sharp claws and teeth that pounced at the insects.

This was a Fox Fire Dragon! The huge dragon formed by the hot flames pounced at the insects. The instantaneous high temperature made the insects howl in pain. Then, their hard armor was burned and shattered by the flames. Immediately after, their flesh was burned by the flames.

When the flames disappeared, there were no more living giant insects on the ground. More than 20 insect monsters were all dead.

Ye Fan looked at the system interface and shook his head.

Although they were all Rank-5 and she had killed more than 20 at once, her growth was not even 5%. This was not good! Please visit f𝒓𝑒e𝓌e𝚋𝘯૦𝘷e𝗹. c૦𝒎

“I still have to walk deeper.”

Ye Fan immediately made up his mind. The Firmament King flew again towards the depths of the plain.

Along the way, there were many insect monsters on the plain, but they were basically small-scale. There were only dozens of them at once.

Although there were very few of them, Little Nine could destroy them at full speed with one skill. At this speed, it would probably take a lot of time on the way. Therefore, the best solution now was to find a place with more insects to slowly kill monsters.

“These insects probably have a fixed location. If I can find this nest, my efficiency in killing monsters will be much higher.” Ye Fan’s gaze flashed, thinking of this, he immediately picked a place on the plain.

Not long after, he had already chosen the target location: Steel Beetle, high-level Rank-5.

Before coming here, he had specially checked a lot of information on the Internet and done a lot of homework. He found that this Steel Beetle was a very common Rank-5 insect monster on the plains, and there were quite a lot of them.

The evolution form of this insect was the Mystic Iron Worm, which was an intermediate Rank-6. It had nests in many places on the plains. If he could find the nests, the efficiency of killing monsters would greatly increase.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan immediately chose this group of Steel Beetles to kill, but he still deliberately let one escape.

He and Little Nine rode on the back of the Firmament Dragon King and flew in the air, following the Steel Beetle from afar.

“Could it be that Master intends to follow this worm to find the nest?” Little Nine asked in confusion.

Ye Fan nodded. Little Nine was right. Insects that went out to search for food usually wouldn’t be too far away from the nest. They would immediately go back for treatment if they were attacked. Thus, he specially let go of this Steel Beetle and planned to follow it to the nest.

The subsequent development was as Ye Fan had imagined. This Steel Beetle arrived at a basin and entered a huge pitch-black cave.

Clearly, this cave should be the Steel Beetle’s nest. But what shocked Ye Fan was that an extremely intense battle was happening in this basin.

On one side was the Steel Beetles. There were a lot of them, so densely packed that it was as if a carpet had been laid on the basin. However, they all had sharp claws and teeth, and their limbs were the same. It gave people goosebumps.

On the other side were six Beast Tamers and pets. Four of them were men and two were women. They seemed to be in their late twenties.

Ye Fan looked carefully for a while and found that these six people were all quite strong. They were all Rank-6.

There were about 15 Rank-6 pets around them. Among them, there were more than 20 Rank-5 pets. Unfortunately, they had encountered hundreds of Rank-5 monsters.

Although the rank difference was very obvious, in front of such a huge number, their individual strength did not have the advantage. Therefore, there was no doubt that the six of them were at a disadvantage.

Ye Fan had only watched for about two minutes when the Beast Tamers had already lost their Rank 4 to 5 pets.

A Rank-6 pet was accidentally brought into the swarm. In the next moment, countless Steel Beetles pounced on it as if they had seen food.

The Rank-6 pet only struggled for a few seconds before falling to the ground. The six Beast Tamers turned pale and despair appeared in their eyes.

“There are too many insects. If this continues, we won’t be able to kill them all.”

“If we continue fighting, I’m afraid we’ll attract more insects. We have to break out.”

“How can we break out of the encirclement in this situation? I’m afraid even defense will be quite difficult.”

“I told you not to be too greedy. Now, we can’t leave!”

“Didn’t you join the operation just now? Why are you saying this now?”

“That’s because the minority obeys the majority.”

“You!!”

“Alright, stop arguing.”

At this moment, a voice broke the argument.

“Now is not the time to shirk responsibility. If you have the strength, why don’t you think of a way to resolve our current predicament!”

His companions suddenly paused, then were very depressed. One of them looked desperate.

“What else can we do? If we don’t rush out, we’ll die.”

The others did not speak, but their expression was the same.

They were surrounded by Steel Beetles. Because they had snatched the eggs, in their anger, these insects entered a berserk state. They were not afraid of death or pain. Even if they died in battle, they had no intention of retreating. It was as if they were determined to tear them all apart.

If they had known that taking away the eggs would make the insects go crazy, they would not have dared to take this risk. However, it was useless to regret now.

Looking into the distance, there were still Steel Beetles in the cave 200 meters away. They crawled out one after another and joined the attack.

Therefore, no matter how many they killed, there were only more insects. If this continued, their pets wouldn’t be able to last long before they were swallowed by the insects. The only thing waiting for them was death.

Looking at the Steel Beetles with sharp teeth, the six Beast Tamers were all afraid. Two of the female Beast Tamers even turned pale in despair.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly noticed the Firmament King in the sky.

“Look, what’s that?”

“Isn’t that just a monster? Why are you still in the mood to watch that at a time like this?”

...

“That’s not a monster. It seems to be a pure-blooded dragon pet with a person riding on it.”
