Lin Baici extinguished the torch because they were already trapped in the swarm of insects. If he lit it up, the flames would spread everywhere.
Sasha! Sasha!
There were too many scarabs; the noise they made while crawling merged into a wave—especially unsettling.
Everyone ran while swatting with their hands, trying to drive away the insects, but it was futile.
Even Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao had no effective way to dispel the insects. Kill one group, and more would surge forward.
The bugs on the ground were already more than half a foot thick, burying everyone's ankles.
Someone, unable to stand steady under the assault of the insect tide, fell down, and before they could get up, was swarmed and covered by bugs.
That person, as if wrapped in a coat made of insects, struggled for about ten seconds before falling to the ground, motionless.
"Ah!"
Cai Wenqi's scream pierced the air.
She was afraid of cockroaches, let alone these scarabs.
