#1064 - Chapter 1064 Giant Golden Armor Lice
The disappearance of Softfoot Shrimp caused the first serious crisis for the boy's tribe.
To resolve this crisis, he had the men abandon their plans to build a castle and instead take up arms to explore the surrounding world.
At dawn, the boy, armed with a spear tipped with bronze spikes, led his people on a foraging expedition.
They walked south along the riverbank, carefully searching every inch of the shore and every bush.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp ~"
"Chirp, chirp, chirp ~"
A very faint chirping sound came from within a large, broad-leaved plant.
However, this sound caught his attention.
He raised his hand, signaling the others to be careful and not make any noise.
Then, crouching low, he moved slowly towards the broad-leaved plant.
"Crack ~"
Although he was being very careful, he still made a noise when he stepped on the soft ground.
The thing in the broad-leaved plant seemed to be startled and immediately fell silent.
The boy tightened his grip on the spear and continued to approach. At the same time, he moved to the side to find a better vantage point.
Soon, he saw what was inside through a gap in the leaves.
Instantly, his pupils widened.
Inside lay a human corpse.
The corpse was badly decayed and covered with golden bugs the size of ten centimeters.
The scene was too disgusting, and he didn't want to provoke it. So, he retreated step by step, preparing to leave.
"Rustle, rustle ~"
The bugs inside seemed to sense his fear and began to stir restlessly.
The boy waved his hand back, signaling the others to retreat as well.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle ~"
The bugs inside became even more restless.
"Run!"
The boy sensed the imminent danger, shouted, and turned to run.
"Whoosh ~"
An enormous bug leaped up, jumping dozens of meters high.
"Bang ~"
It jumped in one step in front of the crowd, blocking their path.
This bug was about the same height as a person, but its width and length were incomparable. It had a golden shell, which looked incredibly hard. Its shape resembled a louse, so let's call it the Giant Golden Louse.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak ~"
The Giant Golden Louse opened its bloody maw and let out a piercing shriek.
At the same time, it opened the wings on its shell and flapped them at a high frequency.
This should be a pre-battle intimidation tactic to create psychological deterrence against the enemy.
The people were terrified, gripping the spears in their hands tightly, their legs trembling uncontrollably.
The boy knew that he couldn't back down at this time. If he did, they would be defeated. So, he shouted loudly:
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
This was to boost morale and drive away fear.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The tribesmen were infected and shouted in unison.
The scene of hundreds of people shouting at the same time was quite spectacular.
The Giant Golden Louse saw this scene and immediately retracted its wings, while the antennae on its head drooped slightly.
It seemed that the shouting had scared it.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The boy pressed his advantage and shouted again.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
After the shouting, the tribesmen had lost much of their fear. Shouting again completely ignited their fighting spirit.
"Kill!"
The boy, his veins bulging, shouted and charged straight up.
The sharp spear thrust directly towards the Giant Golden Louse's chest.
"Kill!"
The tribesmen followed suit in a swarm.
"Swoosh ~"
The Giant Golden Louse didn't dare to fight head-on and leaped up.
People looked up at the sky, and the Golden Louse quickly fell again.
"Ah!"
In panic, everyone fled in all directions.
"Swoosh ~"
Seeing that these people were vulnerable, the Golden Louse began to act rampantly.
It vanished from its spot in a flash and immediately caught up with a person.
"Clang ~"
Its claws pierced through his abdomen, and blood gurgled out.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak ~"
It cried out excitedly and pulled out its claws.
"Swoosh ~"
Another flash.
"Clang ~"
Another person was pierced.
This was simply a one-sided massacre, and the fragile humans had no chance of fighting back.
"Ya!"
The boy was furious.
Seeing his tribesmen die before his eyes, his anger erupted.
He gripped his spear and rushed over quickly. When he was at the right distance, he threw it with all his might, and the spear was launched.
The Golden Beetle disdained it, flapping its wings to block it.
"Clang ~"
"Squeak ~"
The thin membrane wings inside its golden shell were pierced in one blow, and the bronze spikes of the spear plunged directly into the flesh.
It cried out in pain, trying to shake off the spear.
However, the spear had pierced through its wings, and it could not shake it off for a moment.
"Attack!"
The boy shouted, and the surrounding tribesmen threw their spears together.
"Clang, clang, clang ~"
Spears rained down on the Golden Beetle.
