Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1142: Chapter 1052: Raising My Younger Brother in the Future 29

The sound was unclear at first, but another sensation was far more distinct than the cries for help.

It was the vibration of the ground from the rush of many animals, growing stronger, indicating that the animals causing the tremors were getting closer.

Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie quickly gathered up the Giant-mouthed Beast carcass from the ground, tightened their grips on their blades, and prepared to face the coming battle.

Soon, they spotted two small figures rapidly fleeing in the distance. Behind them was a group of massive creatures radiating a dazzling golden light—they were a herd of mutated Golden Beetle Beasts.

This type of Golden Beetle Beast originated from a mutated ladybug, but the exact species it mutated from is unknown.

The word ”beast” was added because an adult Golden Beetle Beast stands about three meters tall, with a body entirely covered in a hard golden shell, and weighing around a ton.

Such a heavy body naturally couldn’t fly, so these Golden Beetle Beasts completely abandoned their ability to fly, evolving instead to chase prey on the ground.

Golden Beetle Beasts are omnivorous mutant beasts, eating both plants and meat, but they prefer meat. This means they will eat meat whenever available, never opting for plants.

Those two people somehow provoked the Golden Beetle Beasts, now being chased by what looked like forty to fifty of them.

Upon seeing the Golden Beetle Beasts, Shuangshuang’s face turned grim. These beasts are certainly high-risk mutants and are very rare outside the safe zone.

The Golden Beetle Beasts have formidable attack power, and their golden shells are incredibly tough, even the energy guns can’t pierce them. The regular battle blades Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie had were certainly not capable of breaching their defenses.

Facing the Golden Beetle Beasts, only superpower users can fight and slay them. It was impossible for Martial Artists to engage in direct combat and defeat them.

However, evading the Golden Beetle Beasts was no longer an option. These beasts have a habit of chasing anything perceived as prey during a hunt, relentlessly pursuing all living creatures detected.

Unless they identify a target they believe they cannot defeat, they will not give up the chase.

Golden Beetle Beasts sense prey using the antennae on their heads, which have a large and highly sensitive detection range.

Shuangshuang was sure that she and Fan Meijie’s current location was definitely within the sensing range of these Golden Beetle Beasts.

This meant that Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie had no choice but to engage in a head-on battle, as evasion was impossible.

Since avoiding them was not an option, they had to fight. Shuangshuang decisively put away her blade and drew her energy gun, which she had always kept for self-defense.

Seeing Shuangshuang take out her energy gun, Fan Meijie hurriedly followed suit, putting down her blade and drawing her energy gun as well.

Although the Golden Beetle Beast’s shell is impervious to blades and guns, even to energy guns, it still has a weak spot—its eyes.

The eyes of the Golden Beetle Beast lead directly to its heart. If the eye is hit, it could destroy the heart and kill the beast.

But this is no easy task, as the Golden Beetle Beast’s eye is only the size of a fist, making it challenging to aim for.

Furthermore, the attacking Golden Beetle Beast keeps moving rapidly and won’t stay still. Despite having low intelligence, it knows to dodge shots from an energy gun when it senses danger.

Shuangshuang instructed Fan Meijie to hold the line and distract the attacking Golden Beetle Beasts, while she took charge of close-range combat to kill them.

Fan Meijie gritted her teeth; she knew Shuangshuang’s decision would put her in great danger. Fan Meijie wanted to take Shuangshuang’s place.

But after opening her mouth several times, Fan Meijie remained silent. It wasn’t fear of death but self-awareness—she knew she couldn’t do it.

If Shuangshuang took on the task, they had at least a 20% to 30% chance of survival. If Fan Meijie did it, they would surely die.

Ultimately, Fan Meijie silently accepted Shuangshuang’s suggestion, determined that if they truly faced life and death, she would not abandon her friend and escape alone. She would stay with Shuangshuang through thick and thin, in life and death.

Before the battle began, Shuangshuang instructed the mobile safe fortress to seal its doors and immediately return to the safe zone with Chang’an inside.

Shuangshuang calculated that no matter if she could successfully hold back these Golden Beetle Beasts, Chang’an would have enough time to return safely to the zone.

As for allowing Fan Meijie to escape as well, Shuangshuang had never considered it. Fan Meijie was not only her best friend but her comrade-in-arms, sworn allies who understood each other deeply.

In past lives, the two had joined the military together, trained together, fought alongside each other, ultimately becoming teammates in the same squad. On numerous life-and-death missions, they formed a tacit partnership, inseparable in life and death.

Shuangshuang knew Fan Meijie well; she was not one to abandon friends in the face of danger and flee alone. To suggest Fan Meijie escape alone would be an insult to her character.

Shuangshuang had extraordinary combat talent and experience. While Fan Meijie didn’t match Shuangshuang’s combat ability, her judgment in battle was exceptional. Together, they might hold a fighting chance.

As the mobile safe fortress took Chang’an away, the two figures fleeing with the Golden Beetle Beasts had reached Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie’s location.

It was a young couple, seemingly lovers, who still held hands and pulled each other while escaping.

The two were so frantic in their escape that they hadn’t noticed there were other people ahead. It was too late to change direction when they saw Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie standing there, guns raised.

This young couple had good character; upon seeing Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie, they yelled for them to run and quickly changed their route, trying to lead the Golden Beetle Beasts away, not wanting to drag Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie into it.

The actions of the young couple eased the frustration Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie felt from being unwittingly implicated.

But the young couple’s attempt to avoid implicating them was futile. Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie were already within the Golden Beetle Beasts’ detection range, who would not abandon detected prey.

The young couple changed their route, and the Golden Beetle Beasts chasing them naturally split into two groups. One continued pursuing the couple, while the other turned towards Shuangshuang and Fan Meijie.

From a distance, Fan Meijie’s palms were unconsciously sweaty. Facing these terrifying creatures careening towards them, a palpable fear seized her, making her heart pound fiercely!
