Dawn.
The once raging insects were now sluggish. With the appearance of the first ray of sunlight, the whole of Xingyuan County quieted down as all the insects fell into a deep slumber.
"Huff, huff!"
Seeing this, Du Gang plopped down onto the ground, huffing and puffing for breath.
From dusk till dawn, he had not rested for a moment, relentlessly leading the Gold Beetles in circles all the while.
In the beginning, when there weren't many insects, it seemed rather pleasant. But when the insects became a surging mass, he began to feel uneasy and had to resort to his Fatal Strike to kill the ones blocking his path.
As the night drew to a close, physically, Du Gang still felt fine, capable of pushing on for another three days and nights. Yet, mentally, he was quite drained, so tired that he felt like getting a good sleep right about now.
But as his eyes lighted up on the 235 points of Source Energy he had acquired, a brilliant smile broke out on his face.
