Chapter 278: The Golden Beetle
Those who were able to enter the Lost City were many of the elites of the major forces, including many geniuses and monsters. Once they decided to go find the Star Iron, everyone started on their way immediately without a second thought.
Just walking in the void is not an easy task. Because there is no ground under your feet to draw strength from, you can only rely on your own strength to walk forward step by step.
At this time, you can best see the level of a person's strength.
For example, the person walking in front of the team is Prince Jade, followed by the Iron Blood Marquis and the Little Tiger Marquis. These three are the strongest in the team.
Xia Jun observed for a while and discovered the difference in strength among the three. Among them, Prince Jade was the strongest. Whether walking or running, he was as fast as on the flat ground. There was no difference between them.
The Iron Blood Marquis and the Little Tiger Marquis were more than ten steps behind Prince Jade, with relaxed expressions on their faces. Xia Jun did not rule out that these two people had deliberately retained their strength in order not to steal Prince Jade's limelight.
After all, the levels among the five prisons are very strict, and few people dare to cross them. Of course, if someone is strong, they don't have to worry about these things.
For example, Xia Jun, although his superficial identity is that he is a concubine of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion and has no status at all, he showed his strength and defeated the masters of the same level with one move. This won the recognition of the others.
No one takes his identity seriously anymore.
But in the secret, Xia Jun could still feel some prying eyes, intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about his true strength. Xia Jun did not expose it, but followed closely behind the Iron Blood Marquis and the Little Tiger Marquis, about ten steps behind.
The distance is barely maintained in the third echelon.
Behind him, closely following, were Princess Shuiyue, Princess Lanfeng and a group of nobles and grandsons.
Such a distance does not make him appear too strong, which would endanger Prince Jade's position as a leader, nor is he too weak, making others think that he is a drag, the distance can be said to be just right.
Prince Yu and others in front also nodded secretly, and gradually let go of the last worry about Xia Jun. The group of people did not speak, but followed the marks on the map and headed towards the place where the Star Iron was.
During this period, Xia Jun also passed through several void whirlpools. Upon closer inspection, Xia Jun was shocked to discover that these void whirlpools were actually huge insect nests.
Countless iron beetles were moving in and out.
The appearance of these iron beetles is also very special. They are similar to crabs on Earth. However, these crabs have been enlarged hundreds or thousands of times in size.
Each iron beetle is like a hill. From a distance, it looks like a large iron pot turned upside down. Whenever there is danger, these iron beetles shrink into the iron pot, and their entire bodies will become one piece.
The huge iron lump is extremely difficult to deal with.
Even if it is an ordinary silver-level iron beetle, under full defense, it is difficult for a weaker half-step gold-level warrior to easily break through its defense.
And the Iron Scarabs are just the weakest type of Zerg in the Lost City, the cannon fodder among cannon fodders. There are many more and stronger Zerg species hidden in this infinite void.
"Okay, we're here, that's the void, where my ancestors once discovered the Star Iron!" After walking for a while, suddenly, a white-faced young man following behind spoke, with a somewhat excited tone.
After everyone heard this, they all let out a long breath. Xia Jun also raised his head and saw a nest appearing in the void in the distance.
This nest is like a small planet, round in shape, with a dark surface, covered with a dense group of iron beetles, crawling around on it, which makes people's scalp numb.
Especially Princess Shuiyue and Princess Lanfeng, as the only two women in the team, had a look of horror on their beautiful faces.
"Look, that seems to be the Star Iron!" The one who spoke was Wan Nianhou, who was considered the weakest among the people, but he also had a secret gift, clairvoyance, which could see things very far away. Nimbus vision, Xia Jun
The eye of insight is slightly inferior.
After his reminder, Xia Jun also saw inside the insect nest, a huge iron block shining with the luster of stars, just floating in the void. Several golden iron beetles were lying on it with a comfortable look on their faces. After one gulp, it was like
He bit off an iron lump the size of his fist and it made a crunching sound.
The color of those iron beetles is also different from the others. The shells on their backs are golden. Prince Jade and others changed their expressions at the first sight, "No, those are golden beetles. They belong to the leader monster. Each one is quite different."
To a half-step gold-level warrior!"
"Golden beetles!" Many people exclaimed, looking at the four golden beetles lying comfortably on the star iron, with regretful looks on their faces.
Xia Jun frowned slightly. The golden beetle is not just a simple leader monster. Their strength is also terrifying. If a golden beetle appears in purgatory, even three ordinary half-step gold-level warriors may not be able to defeat it.
Pass.
To deal with this kind of monster, you cannot win with more people, because the defense of the golden beetle is ten times that of the iron beetle, almost the highest defense monster below the gold level!
"What should I do? I finally found the Star Iron, but it turned out that the place was occupied by four golden beetles!" Princess Shuiyue looked at the piece of Star Iron in the distance with a look of reluctance.
Not only him, but the rest of the people were looking there intently.
After all, it is star iron, a material that can be used to create holy weapons! Such things are legendary items and are rare to find!
Why are holy weapons so precious? It’s because the materials used to create holy weapons are too rare. Many gold-level warriors may spend their entire lives unable to collect them all.
Although Xia Jun has a sacred weapon on his body, it belongs to the Shan Clan. It was built by the Shan Clan with all their efforts and painstaking efforts. Sooner or later, it will be returned.
Before that, Xia Jun's best choice was to collect enough materials to recreate a sacred weapon. At this moment, a piece of star iron the size of a hill was placed in front of him, and Xia Jun naturally didn't want to miss it.
"Prince Jade, how are you doing?" Xia Jun glanced at the Star Iron in the distance and asked in a deep voice.
"Oh, Fang Yuan, what do you think?" Prince Jade heard the implication of Xia Jun's words, with a hint of surprise in his tone.
Xia Jun nodded sternly, "Holy weapon materials are hard to come by. Now that I have encountered them, I will naturally not give up!"
"Well said, I can't bear to give up such a thing. Look, Fangyuan, there are four golden beetles there. Prince Jade, Little Tiger Marquis and I can deal with one of them, but there is still one left. Do you have confidence?
Are you going to deal with it?" Tie Xuehou also looked at Xia Jun expectantly.
In his opinion, the most powerful person here, besides them, is Xia Jun. If Xia Jun can also deal with one, then seizing the Star Iron...
"Leave it to me!"
Xia Jun didn't hesitate at all. A golden beetle might be difficult in the eyes of others, but he didn't take it too seriously. However, he turned his eyes and pointed at the insect nest and said: "But those iron beetles are not like that."
Very easy to deal with!”
