The two human locusts weren’t that strong, and their cultivation had been diminished a little when they crossed the border. Such was the power of the force field.
If it were stronger, the consequences would not be as simple as diminished cultivation, but like the giant bird before, it would have its life diminished. The final ending, however, was the same.
Alex’s Xavion Sword cut out a wheel of light. With a single sword, the two human locusts were decapitated.
Poof… Poof… Poof…
What had caught Alex off guard was the moment the two human locusts were chopped apart by the Xavion Sword, the blood inside their bodies spurted out like an erupting volcano.
The blood, which was fishy and smelly, wasn’t red but green. Once the green blood met the air, green smoke came out. The strange poison was incomparable.
Fortunately, the Requiem Clock hanging over Alex’s head had not been taken off. The golden holy energy was like a shadow, and the highly toxic blood hit the golden shield and corroded it, causing the Requiem Clock to wail.
Clinton, the tool spirit, was probably shivering.
Shhhhh…
The poisonous falcons all hissed viciously at the death of the falcon, and the sounds converged, emitting a noise so unpleasant to the ear, their eardrums were about to be ripped apart.
Claudia screamed, and blood oozed out of her ears. She covered her ears and was unable to hold the embroidery needle with the red thread.
Two sounds could be heard, however. The golden beetles, whose mouths were pierced by the embroidery needles, had broken free. They didn’t rush to chase Claudia but returned to the two human locusts before scrambling to eat the corpses and blood.
Alex instantly teleported away.
“Auntie Claudia, are you all right?” Alex looked at her and asked.
“What are you shouting at me for?” Claudia‘s eyes widened. Looking less than thirty, she had a well maintained appearance that made her look elegant and refined. After being called an auntie by a man as old as Alex, she felt a little strange all of a sudden.
Alex, however, frowned and looked at the blood by her ears, thinking that her eardrums must’ve burst. Nonetheless, now wasn’t the time for that. Instead, it was the best time to kill the beetles.
“Great Ice Bound Spell! ”
Despite getting her life back, Claudia still felt awkward. “I am your aunt. Even if you save me, it is perfectly natural. How can you make me return it?” she growled with gritted teeth.
Alex nodded again, “Don‘t worry, I won’t force you.”
“…”
The golden beetles and the human locusts were highly poisonous, and there was no valuable loot, prompting the pair to return to rendezvous with Xerxes and the rest immediately.
However, after running for a reasonable distance, they couldn’t be found.
“Strange. This place is empty, and there are no other signs of battle. Where did they go?”
Logically, they should have been waiting not far away. Alex said, “Could they have found Principal Lawlor’s traces and went after them?”
Claudia asked, “On the way here, did the road fork out or something?”
