Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 846 - 847: Fire-Armored Devouring Divine Insect (Third Update!)

Indeed, those who chased after Pangu before were no easy foes. Among them were even Domain Marshal Realm experts, but all fell without exception in the Ancient God Ruins. The sole escapee died at the gates of Qingyang Prefecture.

The danger of the Ancient God Ruins could be clearly seen!

If one were to rush in recklessly in search of treasure, chances are they would lose their lives before finding the treasure!

"So, captain, you want those guys to go in first and test the waters, right?"

Sun Wukong smirked evilly. Blue Spirit didn’t say a word, tacitly agreeing. Who wouldn’t have a bit of cunning to become a mercenary captain?

Sun Wukong didn’t say much more, leisurely following Blue Spirit and the others to the pale blue barrier. They saw that the others had already joined forces to create a gap just wide enough for one person to pass through.

"These guys aren’t entirely useless, but the noise made while opening the gap in the barrier is so loud that if there are any ferocious monsters in these Ancient God Ruins, they’ll probably be drawn by the sound."

Sun Wukong thought to himself, activated his Void-Breaking Moon Eyes, and peered inside the barrier. Leading into the Ancient God Ruins were several parallel paths, but on each path laid numerous skeletons, their flesh entirely devoured with not a trace remaining.

One could only imagine that there must be ferocious carnivorous monsters lurking within these Ancient God Ruins!

Gang Daimu took a step forward, ready to squeeze through the barrier gap, but Sun Wukong stopped him. Blue Spirit and the others were puzzled as they looked at Sun Wukong.

"Is something wrong?"

Sun Wukong shook his head and pointed at the skeletons inside the barrier. "Those skeletons don’t seem ancient. In such a short time, only bones remain. Do you think there aren’t any living creatures in these Ancient God Ruins?"

Blue Spirit and the others felt a chill in their hearts. True!

"Brother Wukong, do you mean those monsters from before are also in these Ancient God Ruins?"

Zuo Xiaomiao blinked at Sun Wukong with a cute expression.

"Yes, they must be. And they should be even scarier!"

Sun Wukong felt a bit uneasy being stared at by Zuo Xiaomiao. Was this girl’s eye twitching malfunctioning, why keep blinking like that?

"Hmph!"

Seeing Sun Wukong turn his head away, Zuo Xiaomiao snorted discontentedly, throwing a seductive glance at a blind man, utterly in vain!

"So we just wait here? Those guys are already inside..."

Before Gang Daimu could finish, a scream suddenly echoed from within the Ancient God Ruins, drawing Sun Wukong and the others’ gaze.

Before their very eyes, the giant stone statues flanking the path turned into living creatures, each biting down on the unsuspecting intruders. The protective auras of those experts were like paper, instantly shredded, and their bodies torn to pieces.

Moreover, palm-sized fiery red insects surged from the ditches on either side of the path, swarming over the corpses and in an instant, leaving nothing but clean white bones.

Gasp~!

Blue Spirit and the others gasped. Gang Daimu’s mouth opened wide in fear. Luckily, Sun Wukong had stopped him earlier, or he would have been among those bones!

"Fire-Armored Devouring Divine Insects! Those are definitely Fire-Armored Devouring Divine Insects! There must be a mother insect in these Ancient God Ruins!"

Zhao Jun’s gaze remained fixed on the fiery red insects, and suddenly, he bellowed. At his words, Blue Spirit and the rest, excluding Sun Wukong, turned pale, their eyes full of fear.

"What are Fire-Armored Devouring Divine Insects?"

Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow in confusion. Having not been in the Yuan Realm for long, he hadn’t heard of many things, including these Fire-Armored Devouring Divine Insects.

They were just a bunch of insects, so why be so terrified?

At Sun Wukong’s question, Zhao Jun and the others looked at him as if he were a monster. Zuo Xiaomiao gulped and smacked her lips. "Brother Wukong, you’re not from the Yuan Realm, are you?"

"Why do you ask?"

Sun Wukong’s eyebrows twitched. Had he been found out?

"If you were from the Yuan Realm, how could you not know about Fire-Armored Devouring Divine Insects? They were the culprits of a great catastrophe in the Yuan Realm during ancient times, almost wiping out the entire realm due to their overpopulation!"

"Those insects are that powerful?"

Sun Wukong was amazed. Honestly, he hadn’t felt that the Fire-Armored Devouring Divine Insects were that strong.

"I, old Sun, ascended to the Yuan Realm from a small world called the Three Realms. I haven’t been here long."

Sun Wukong candidly admitted, seeing no reason to hide the truth since he had been found out.

"No wonder, Brother Wukong."

Zuo Xiaomiao realized. "Brother Wukong, those Fire-Armored Devouring Divine Insects are said to be able to devour even ancient gods. They always appear in swarms, numbering from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands or even millions, and killing until you’re exhausted!"

"Oh, so it’s just their numbers. No problem, just burn them with a big fire."

Sun Wukong wasn’t being foolish; he was testing Zuo Xiaomiao, trying to see if the Fire- Armored Devouring Divine Insects had any weaknesses.

"They can’t be burned!"

As expected, Zuo Xiaomiao shook her hand, "Fire-Armored Devouring Divine Insects are most resistant to fire. Their fire armor on their backs can absorb the power of fire, and most other attacks are blocked by the fire armor. Their defensive power is extremely strong. Encountering them, it’s best to turn around and run. If you’re slow, you’ll die!"

"Can they really absorb any kind of fire?"

Sun Wukong pondered. If what Zuo Xiaomiao said was true, these Fire-Armored Devouring Divine Insects could even absorb Chaos Fire, making them very troublesome. Killing that many insects would indeed be exhausting!

"So what now? Should we give up and go back?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Not a single person who had entered the barrier earlier had escaped. They either fell to the now living stone monsters or were devoured by the Fire- Armored Devouring Divine Insects down to their bones. The Ancient God Ruins seemed like a life-devouring maw, and rashly venturing in would surely mean death.

Sun Wukong furrowed his brows. Having traveled this far, he didn’t want to fail before reaching his goal, not to mention, he still hadn’t found any trace of Pangu!

Even if Pangu had fallen and become a pile of bones like those experts, Sun Wukong wanted to find and give him a proper burial, honoring their acquaintance!

Moreover, Sun Wukong had a strong feeling that Pangu hadn’t died and was somewhere within these Ancient God Ruins!
