Universe Infinite Canteen

Chapter 239 Power of Money

Ma Lu had already rolled up his sleeves, ready to intervene. However, seeing Boggy and another person helping Aes out of the dust storm, he stopped in his tracks.

On the other side, the successful rescue of their companion greatly boosted the morale of the Hunters participating in the exam.

Especially when it was found that Aes's vital signs were relatively stable except for a broken leg, the fear of the Iron-Eating Scarab in everyone else's hearts lessened considerably. Experience new stories on empire

Dian Lu, at that moment, was also very excited. He felt as if he could already see the hope of taking down the Iron-Eating Scarab and was planning to double down and saw off another front limb.

But just then, a sudden change occurred!

The giant golden insect suddenly unfurled a pair of narrow wings on its back, and as it fluttered its wings, it immediately blew the nearby Hunters into disarray.

Dian Lu, seeing the sandstorm coming, subconsciously closed his eyes. And when he opened them again, he saw the Iron-Eating Scarab had already flown past him.

Dian Lu had no time to give the order to scatter and avoid before he was struck by a hind leg.

It felt as though he had been hit head-on by a desert motorbike. His ribs were instantly broken in several places, and he was sent flying, landing more than ten steps away, unable to get back up.

The Iron-Eating Scarab, now in flight mode, officially began its hunt.

Its speed was more than twice as fast as when it was on the ground, and all six of its legs could be used as weapons. In fact, it didn't even need weapons, as simply charging headlong was enough.

The fate of any Hunter who was merely grazed by it was almost the same as Dian Lu's. And because it stayed in the air, there was no place for the cumbersome Heat Cutting Saw.

Wherever the Iron-Eating Scarab passed, there was chaos, instantly turning the Hunters participating in the exam into a field of sorrow and cries.

Only some of the Wind-type Psychic Power Users were still putting up a last-ditch resistance. They attempted to use their powers to attack the Iron-Eating Scarab's rear wings.

Compared to its shell, that area was obviously much thinner. However, even when struck by wind blades, they only produced the sound of gold and iron clashing.

The name Iron-Eating Scarab was not in vain, as this golden giant beetle, although it also preys on other wild animals and humans, most relishes iron ore, consuming it as easily as cracking sunflower seeds.

And most of the iron they consumed was used to strengthen themselves, making every part of them exceptionally hard. They were one of the beasts with the strongest defense in this desert.

Now not only the Hunters participating in the exam felt pressured, but also the members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group who had come along began to feel the strain.

The rate of casualties had already far exceeded control. It was clear the exam could no longer continue. Immediate intervention was necessary, or they would soon face casualties.

Boggy had already taken out Fury Wings, a new version modified and enhanced by Kolete. Compared to the original, it was lighter and easier to control.

In comparison, the maximum limit of King's Fist was just over a hundred times, Toriyama Akira was indeed modest.

As Ma Lu and the Iron-Eating Scarab got closer and closer, the people of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Especially those who had joined recently, they had always been curious about the mysterious Deputy Leader Ma Lu and his even more mysterious Meat Pigeon Ability.

As Ma Lu was about to approach the Iron-Eating Scarab, worry appeared on some people's faces.

No matter what, it was too bizarre for one person to face a wild beast of the Death Forbidden Zone alone.

Even the legendary Hunter Li from the days of the Giant Curtain couldn't do such a thing.

There's ultimately a limit to human strength.

This is why Hunters join Hunting Groups and guilds, and moreover, Ma Lu was not carrying any weapons or equipment that could be used against the tough shell of the Iron-Eating Scarab.

Approaching it with bare hands, he looked like nothing more than a delivery man serving a meal to the opponent.

The Iron-Eating Scarab apparently thought so too; it was ready to land and feed, but seeing Ma Lu dare to come closer, it immediately flew at him again.

Planning to add another dish for itself.

The distance between them quickly closed.

The Iron-Eating Scarab swung one of its front legs, hoping to sweep Ma Lu away with a single kick, just like those Hunters who came to take the exam.

Yet, Ma Lu, upon seeing this, remained calm and unhurried; he just stopped in his tracks and then clenched his right fist and pulled it back to his waist.

Both man and insect struck at the same time!

Their fist and leg met unadorned in the air with a resounding collision!

The world seemed to halt for an instant!!!

Following that, the Iron-Eating Scarab burst apart from the point of contact with Ma Lu, segment by segment.

First, its front leg, then its antennae, head, thorax shield, extending all the way to its elytra and hind wings, all burst into a mist of blood.

In the end, only one hind leg was left unscathed, falling lonely from the sky.
