The Personal Bodyguard of the Female CEO-Chapter 1731 - 1729: The Terrifying Golden Beetle

Especially the Dragon Group Warrior who had taken a fall with the wasps was stung all over, and his gaze towards An Yu was filled with resentment.

However, Wang Dadong had now gained a rough understanding of An Yu’s strength.

An Yu was not a Psychic; she cultivated Inner Strength, specifically Ice System Inner Strength.

Being able to condense such a large ice ball indicated that An Yu’s strength should be at least above the Superhuman Realm, possibly at Superhuman Realm Intermediate or the level of a High-level Strong Person.

Similar to Hao Wentao’s rank.

No wonder King Kong was so afraid of her.

It must be said, Wang Dadong’s tactic greatly reduced the time spent in searching.

Although most of the wasps and ants were crawling randomly after being released into the mine, after half a day, the group discovered that ants from one mine quickly crawled out upon being released.

To confirm, Wang Dadong personally carried a wasp nest inside.

He possessed the Vajra Invincible Body and also the Sacred Body, so he naturally didn’t fear being stung by wasps.

A bizarre scene unfolded; the wasps originally clinging to the nest promptly detached and flew swiftly towards the cave entrance after just ten meters inside.

"It should be this mine!" Everyone gathered at the entrance of this mine.

A group of thirteen, they immediately set out into the mine.

Success or failure hinges on this action.

Wang Dadong led the way, followed by Long Qiuyu and Piao Xue, then King Kong and other ordinary Dragon Group Warriors, with the God of Fire and An Yu at the rear.

Having advanced several dozen meters, nothing appeared amiss.

The mine wasn’t dark; scattered across the walls were spots of shimmering green that emitted a gentle glow, resembling fluorescents and were quite pleasing to the eye.

A female Dragon Group Warrior couldn’t resist touching the pale green walls with her finger.

"Ah!"

The female Dragon Group Warrior cried out.

"Zi Yan, what happened?" Piao Xue’s expression changed as she asked worriedly; she was a member of Momentary Splendor.

"It’s bad, she’s poisoned!" Wang Dadong immediately moved to the side of the Dragon Group Warrior codenamed Zi Yan, holding her hand as Inner Strength surged into her.

"Trouble, the toxin is extraordinarily potent; even I can’t easily eliminate it, only inhibit its spread!" Wang Dadong spoke gravely.

This wasn’t an ordinary poison but rather Gu poison; Wang Dadong couldn’t expel it from Zi Yan’s body using solely Inner Strength and could only confine it to her palm.

"What should we do?" Everyone’s expressions changed; they hadn’t expected the toxin to be so fierce.

"To survive, we have to sever the hand." The Flame Sword appeared in the God of Fire’s hand, ready to cut off Zi Yan’s hand. Even Wang Dadong couldn’t eliminate the toxin; this was the only solution. After all, Wang Dadong couldn’t endlessly input Spirit Qi.

"Don’t cut off my hand!" Zi Yan cried out in terror.

For a Dragon Group Warrior, hands were invaluable, losing them was like losing a life.

Wang Dadong turned to An Yu, "Miss An, could you freeze her hand? It might halt the toxin’s spread."

An Yu extended her palm, a chilling Inner Force Flow surged from it, and Zi Yan’s hand was quickly frozen into an ice block.

Zi Yan’s hand was frozen, the toxin finally stopped spreading.

The group finally exhaled in relief, at least Zi Yan’s hand was temporarily saved.

Encountering such an incident upon just entering the mine underscored the peril of this mission.

But from the day Dragon Group Warriors joined the Organization, they had already disregarded life and death.

"Stay close behind me and don’t touch anything." Wang Dadong instructed sternly.

He needn’t have said more; no one dared to touch anything inside the cave again, knowing Zi Yan’s hand might still need severing unless the toxin could be purged.

The mine was very twisted; after around two miles, their eyes suddenly widened.

"Is this really a gold mine?" Several swallowed nervously.

Before them lay a spacious cavern, entirely aglow with golden light, as if forged from pure gold.

"It’s not gold, it’s bugs!" Wang Dadong urgently stopped those wanting to enter the golden cave.

Examining closely, they realized that the golden walls were formed by layers of gold-colored insects, causing chills to run down their spines.

The creatures were small, densely packed together, resembling gold from a distance.

Golden Beetles looked somewhat like a Beetle, their backs covered with a gold shell, resembling golden Beetles, each with a dagger-like appendage on its head.

"They seem to be sleeping, let’s be careful not to wake them." Wang Dadong whispered.

Entire cave walls consisted of insects, a sight unsettling enough that awakening them would have dire consequences.

Fortunately, the ground wasn’t completely covered in bugs, so careful stepping was possible.

The group quietly proceeded further into the mine, everyone holding their breath, even their heartbeats slowed.

"Achoo!"

Suddenly, a Dragon Group Warrior sneezed.

Not from a cold but due to the faint mustiness inside that carried mild toxins, insignificant to Captain Level Dragon Group Warriors but troublesome for the ordinary ones.

Everyone froze instantly, not daring to move.

"I— I’m sorry!" the warrior apologized quickly.

Wang Dadong gestured for silence, indicating not to make any sound.

Waking these bugs would cause problems, but fortunately, they seemed insensitive to sound and hadn’t awoken, allowing everyone to exhale slightly in relief.

At this moment, the warrior’s backpack knife fell, piercing into the bug pile on the ground.

Clang!

The knife collided with the bugs, producing a metallic ringing.

The bugs rapidly swarmed the knife.

Crunch, crunch.

The unsettling sound of chewing echoed; within less than a minute, the sharp and sturdy knife was gnawed clean!

Everyone gasped in shock. What manner of strange bugs could bite through a Fine Steel knife? If they bit a person, it would be akin to chewing on lettuce.

Covered in goosebumps, they watched as the bugs fell quiet again after devouring the knife.

Another cautious breath exhaled, beads of cold sweat formed on several foreheads.

"Ah!"

Just as they thought danger had passed, a Dragon Group Warrior suddenly screamed.

It turned out a golden bug had crawled onto his foot, biting down.

Despite their poor hearing, the golden bugs weren’t completely deaf, and the scream instantly roused all surrounding insects. The bugs on the walls began to wriggle, flowing akin to a golden river, incredibly beautiful, yet eerily unsettling.
