“There will inevitably be side effects when teleporting so many people at once. Hold onto me firmly. Another 20 to 30 times and we’ll be able to escape,” Quan Jue said calmly.
The three of them had already vomited out everything in their stomachs from that one teleportation. If they had to endure another 20 to 30 teleportations, they would probably die of nausea before they could get out!
“I… I can’t take it. Let’s think of something else!” Beitang Lie exclaimed. He then saw the bugs swarming over again. He hurriedly picked up Huo Chen and Pei Yao and used his astonishing jumping power to leap more than 10 meters away.
However, jumping with the two of them was extremely tiring. Nevertheless, Beitang Lie took a deep breath and leaped again.
Without any effort, Quan Jue teleported with Chi Jiao in his arms and appeared in front of them again.
Meanwhile, as Beitang Lie was dragging the other two and preparing to leap again, a high-pitched sound suddenly rang out from the swarm of insects. The bugs linked their bodies to one another and a long tentacle-like appendage shot out towards Beitang Lie’s back.
“Get lost!” Sparks flashed across Pei Yao’s eyes. She raised her hand and waved, causing a fiery barrier to appear. The scorching flames burned all the bugs forming the tentacle to death.
“Your superpower is fire?” Beitang Lie looked at her in surprise, as if he had just discovered a new world.
There were many kinds of supernatural powers. Apart from the mental and space-time types, those who could control the natural elements like metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were also very rare and powerful!
Pei Yao nodded. “Although my superpower is fire, I can only use it for a short period of time. If I have to use it on a large scale, the duration will be even shorter.”
It was normal for the control of the natural elements to consume more energy.
“How much energy does it require?” Huo Chen asked curiously.
“If I ignite a flame, I can only hold off those bugs for two minutes at the most. And that will exhaust all my strength,” Pei Yao said helplessly.
Hearing this, Beitang Lie immediately gave up on the idea of asking her to exterminate the bugs. He continued to run with the two of them.
At this moment, Huo Chen suddenly heard a hissing sound above his head.
“Wait a minute, there seems to be something over our heads,” Huo Chen said with uncertainty.
Just as he finished speaking, Quan Jue, who had been dashing forward, suddenly stopped.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the mountain wall above Quan Jue’s head suddenly shattered. Immediately after, a long, three-meter-wide scorpion suddenly appeared in front of everyone, blocking their path.
“Oh my god, what is this?” Pei Yao was stunned by the sight before her.
“We’re trapped both front and back. It won’t be easy for us to escape now,” Huo Chen said with a serious expression.
“Miss Pei, you just said that you can last for two minutes against the insect swarm, right?” Quan Jue suddenly asked as he looked at the huge scorpion baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
“Yes… but I’ll be completely exhausted afterward,” Pei Yao replied.
“I’ll finish off this poisonous scorpion in two minutes. When the time comes, I’ll carry you and Jiaojiao along with me. Mr. Beitang will bring Officer Huo along with him.” With that, Quan Jue gently placed the unconscious Chi Jiao at the side.
“You can kill such a huge scorpion in two minutes? Quan Jue, are you kidding me?” Beitang Lie had just finished speaking when the huge scorpion stared at Quan Jue.
Waving its huge pincers, the scorpion charged at him.
