"Kevin, what exactly are those things?"

"What's going on?"

"I can't run anymore, wait for me!"

The three of them fled as if they were running for their lives, while the vicious-looking sacred scarabs chased after them.

The fattest of the three ran out of stamina and panted heavily after just a few steps.

He grabbed Kevin's sleeve and wanted to rest.

However, when Kevin turned around, he saw the swarm of sacred scarabs surging towards them like a bluish-black tidal wave. If they were to be caught up, they would be eaten alive with no bones left.

"F*ck! Let go!"

At that moment, Kevin steeled his heart and pushed away from the fatty's hand. Then, he kicked him to the ground.

The skinny man saw this and shouted, "Buddy!"

"Why did you stop running? Do you want to die with him?"

The skinny man was stunned by Kevin's ruthlessness, but Kevin did not even give him an explanation. He ran forward without looking back at the fatty at all.

When the skinny man turned around, he saw that the fatty had already been caught up by the tide of beetles.

"Help! Please! Hel…"

The fatty let out a blood-curdling scream before he was engulfed by the swarm of bugs.

In the blink of an eye, he stopped moving.

"Sh*t!"

The skinny man shuddered at the sight.

Without another word, he turned and ran.

The fatty had been the one who slowed them down. Now that he was gone, they could move much faster.

The two of them ran along the passage toward the entrance and only stopped after about five minutes.

At this moment, the sacred scarabs were far behind them.

Kevin leaned against the wall as he panted. As for the skinny man, he looked like he was about to collapse.

Sitting on the ground, he hugged Kevin's thigh and shouted, "Kevin, Fatty is dead. He's dead!"

Slap!

"Shut up! I f*cking saw it. Be quiet, else you'll attract the bugs!"

Kevin slapped the skinny guy hard to shut him up.

Even Kevin himself didn't know what to do now. Where did those bugs come from?!

"Calm down. There's no time to panic!"

"Yes, Fatty is dead. He can only blame himself for not being able to run fast!"

After calming down, Kevin recalled what had happened.

He analyzed the situation and said, "Those bugs are definitely poisonous, but I've never seen them before!"

"Then what should we do now? Are we still going to take the burial items?" The skinny man seemed unwilling to give up. He felt that it was a pity to leave like this.

Upon hearing that, Kevin glared at him and said, "You are still thinking about getting rich even at this moment? Are you so eager to die just for money?"

"If you're not afraid of death, then go back. I don't want to die with you! I'm going back the way we came!"

Kevin was not like what he said. He was not willing to risk his life to get rich.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran toward the entrance of the tomb.

The skinny man quivered in fright. He looked behind him reluctantly and hurriedly chased after Kevin.

Right at that moment, a familiar noise sounded from behind them.

Ta-ta-tat!

When they heard it, their hearts turned cold.

Those bugs were still chasing them!

Having realized that, the two of them immediately quickened their pace, but they heard the same noise ahead of them.

"Sh*t! We are surrounded!"

Upon realizing this, Kevin and the skinny man were seized by terror.

This time, they could neither back down nor move forward, completely trapped in the passageway.

"Kevin! What should we do!?"

"Quick! Think of a way!"

"We're doomed. We're going to die with Fatty."

"Damn it. I wouldn't have come if I'd known earlier. It's all your fault for dragging me along, the two of you!"

The skinny man collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

Suddenly, Kevin thought of something amidst the panic.

Fire!

Yes, all bugs are afraid of fire!

"Stop dozing off. Hurry up and pour the gasoline on the ground."

"Quick!"

As he spoke, Kevin quickly took out the fuel for the torch. He unscrewed the bottle cap and splashed the gasoline on the ground.

Ta-ta-tat!

At that moment, the keyboard typing sound could be heard again. It seemed to be right beside their ears.

The black bug tide surged over again, and it came from both sides.

The sight sent a chill up Kevin's spine to the top of his head.

Then, he called out to the skinny man to hurry up.

They poured the gasoline on the ground and lit it up with a torch, creating two walls of fire around them.

The sacred scarabs approached them ferociously, but they stopped in their tracks before the fire.

"Phew!"

Upon seeing this, Kevin heaved a sigh of relief.

You bugs want me dead? Ha! Try harder!

"Oh my god! Kevin, look!"

The skinny man pointed at the sacred scarabs on the wall.

"They can climb walls!"

Kevin looked over and, when he saw what the skinny man was pointing at, the hair on his back stood up.

Countless sacred scarabs avoided the fire and climbed over from the tunnel walls.

Dozens of beetles flicked their claws and pounced toward the two men.

"Come here!"

Kevin grabbed the skinny guy with one hand and lifted him in front of himself.

Dozens of sacred scarabs flew toward the skinny man and started biting him.

The man did not even have the chance to scream before his body turned green and he fell to the ground.

A dark green liquid flowed out from his mouth and nose.

"F*ck!"

"One dead man is better than two!"

Kevin was already scared out of his wits as he looked at the bugs that kept climbing up the walls.

He retreated subconsciously.

But in the next second, he realized something was off.

There were bugs behind him too!

"F*ck!"

"Don't come over! Don't come over!"

Kevin saw that the sacred scarabs behind him had crossed the fire. He let out a cry of despair as the bugs crawled up his legs.

...

A few minutes later.

The sacred scarabs that covered the entire passageway suddenly pushed to the sides like a tide.

Vincent strolled out from the depths of the grave.

"Well done!"

"You may leave."

Looking at the two tomb raiders who died miserably, Vincent was very satisfied.

It was not that Vincent was ruthless. After all, he was the gravekeeper of the pyramid, and it was his job to kill grave robbers.

However, these tomb raiders were clearly just an appetizer.

Other than the blond man who was an experienced tomb raider, the other two were ordinary workers.

Killing them wasn't a big deal. In the future, there would definitely be even more powerful tomb raiders coming into the pyramid.

Therefore, he had to increase his strength as soon as possible.

"System, I have completed my mission, right?" Vincent asked.

"Detected that the Host has killed the tomb raiders. The reward will be issued now."

Ding!

"Congratulations, you have completed the mission. The Level 2 Merchant Shop has been unlocked and you are rewarded with 10,000 merit points!"
