"What?"
The words of the demonic insect stunned Austin; even the Eight Stone Saints were surprised.
"Huh? Hey, you disgusting creature! Why do you have a grudge against Austin? What has he ever done to you?
| don't think you two even ever crossed path.
Why did you attack him?"
Seeing that Austin was being troubled, Rhys spoke up for his friend.
Austin also wanted to know the answer. As far as he recalled, this was the first the was seeing this insect.
Why had the latter found fault with him without reason?
"Well, you seem eager to know, so | shall oblige.
| sensed that this human carries something of great value with him; something that is incomparably important to our race.
| need to take him back withand search him thoroughly.
Don't worry. As long as you allowto finish my task, my friends and | shall not hurt him. In fact, we can make whatever promises
you want us to make."
The leader of the demonic insects was straightforward in stating his intentions.
Clearly, he was determined to take Austin away.
A fit of laughter burst out among Austin's side after hearing this story.
"You know what? | know now why you were so eager, you jerks! You saw something that Austin have and now want to rob him of it!
How shameless of you, disgusting bugs! Who cares how important the thing is for you? He found it first, fair and square!
And now, you want to get it through robbery! Shameless creatures! And you speak as if it was the most justified thing ever!
Dream on, dumbo! As long as we are here, there's no way we're gonna let you have anything!"
Asa roared out in between the laugh.
"You're right. | hate robbers and their impudent conducts as well. Get out of here, you sickening bugs! Get out of here right now, or
we're going to crush you!"
Rhys also shouted angrily at the top of his voice. He could not subdue the wrath inside him now.
The rest of the spirits of holy stone laughed and sneered as well.
Looking at the response of the Eight Stone Saints, Austin felt a warm feeling inside his heart.
He could clearly feel that all of them were good and upright people willing to help him without expecting something in return.
"So that's what you have decided! Very well!
It looks like you Stone Saints aren't going to dothis favor.
Listen tovery clearly! If you refuse this offer, you will regret it very soon."
The leading demonic insect gritted his teeth with a ruthless look in his eyes.
"And listen, you human boy. I'll give you one last chance. Cwithof your own free will.
Maybe | will spare your life if you are obedient.
Otherwise, you are going to die miserably!"
The demonic insect looked at Austin with a menacing and malicious look.
"Are you insane?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWho the hell do you think you are? Why should I go back with you?"
Austin's words sounded as cold as ice. The commanding tone of the demonic insect had enraged him quite a bit and now, he had
no intention of treating them nicely anymore.
"How dare you!
All right, you stubborn human. If that's what you want, so be it!
Just wait and see.
You will regret your decision very soon!"
The leading demonic insect cast a ferocious glance at Austin, turned around, and left.
The rest of the demonic insects also flapped their wings and retreated behind their leader. Their vast number filled the sky all of a
sudden, like a huge wall had just appeared and was now floating in the air. They hummed and disappeared into the distance
rapidly.
"Why didn't we kill them all, Asa? Those insects are so disgusting.
We are strong enough to deal with every single one of them. Why didn't you give the order?"
Wesley turned towards their leader and asked.
"It would not have been difficult for us to deal with that group of insects. You're right!
However, if we directly attacked them, we would have driven an irreparable wedge between us and their race.
Those bugs are a huge race. There are countless of their creatures.
Besides, it is said that there is a suprbug in their clan. This ancestor bug lives in seclusion all year round. No one knows how
long he or she has lived, and his or her strength is unfathomable.
Therefore, it's better that we incur no hostility from them."
Asa declared in a measure tone.
"Good thinking, Asa..."
The rest of the spirits of holy stone also nodded their heads in agreement.
"One thing is clear though, Austin. You can't stay in the Ancient Forbidden Land anymore. You must leave as soon as possible.
Those gold-devouring devil bugs are too many in number, and a large number of those are highly powerful.
Besides, the devil insect race is united.
You will be no match for them,"
Asa advised Austin in a serious manner.
"What is this devil insect race?"
Austin asked curiously.
"It is the ngiven to the united force of insects and similar creatures.
This is an ancient land, and the devil insect race has occupied a dominant position for a very long tnow. It is a very strong
force,"
Rhys explained.
"Okay..."
Austin understood why the spirits were worried.
The leader of the demonic insect had mentioned that there was something he carried which was very important to their race.
'What could it be?"
Austin was confused.
'Could it be..." A light bulb glowed all of a sudden.
‘The divine silkworm?"
The most likely answer was that the cocoon of the divine silkworm was the only thing he carried that had any connection to the
insects.
Austin had gotten it in the Fallen Immortal World. Since then, he had kept it with him at all times.
He had once planned to hatch it.
However, various special natural resources and treasures were needed for that purpose. High in number, and in rarity, Those
natural resources and treasures were hard to obtain.
Therefore, even though, he had carried it around all the time, he hadn't been able to hatch it yet.
Austin also recalled a legend from the Immortal End World. It said that the divine silkworm was the king of all insects, and could
command every single kind of insect in the universe.
This included the devil insect race.
‘That's it. That must be it!
The demonic bug must have been talking about the divine silkworm!"
Austin was sure now.
Apparently, the gold-devouring devil bug must have felt the aura of the cocoon on Austin, which had made him want to take Austin
to their lair and question him.
"All right, sirs. If that is your advice, | will leave the Ancient Forbidden Land for the tbeing.
However, those bugs are too aggressive and unreasonable. | swear | will kick their asses heavily and teach them a lesson some
day!"
Austin declared with a glint of coldness in his eyes.
"Ha-ha, Austin. You know | have a feeling that you will do that one day.
You are so young, but have managed to find such powerful strength. | think you have a bright future ahead of you and will become
a great master someday.
And when you are strong enough to fight those disgusting insects, the eight of us will assist you and fight on your side.
Damn it! | have been tolerating them for a long tnow!"
Rhys burst into a fit of hearty laugh.
He had fought with Austin for more than ten days and the duo had now established a profound relationship with each other. They
were close friends now.
"lI don't deserve your compliments, sir.
But | am grateful! | have to go now. Please do take care of yourselves."
Austin turned around and was now ready to leave.
He knew that the demonic insects would not let him go so easily and would chere again to find a way to fight him.
If he stayed here, he would only bring trouble for the Eight Stone Saints, so he should leave as quickly as possible.
"Austin, wait!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAsa suddenly called out.
"Yes?"
Austin was stunned at this.
With a wave of his hand, a purple bag appeared in the air and floated towards Austin.
"This is the holy pollen of the devil insect race. It is the powdered form of the essence of hundreds of thousands of rare flowers and
herbs from this world. It is extremely precious.
This is our gift for you,"
Asa told him with an honest expression.
"This is too precious, sir!"
Austin turned it down in a hurry. It would have been embarrassing to accept it.
"To tell you the truth, we stole this holy powder from the sacred place of the gold-devouring devil bug,"
Asa whispered to him in a low voice, winking at Austin with a knowing smile.
"l get it!"
With a weird look on his face, and a slight chuckle, Austin finally understood why the gold-devouring devil bugs chere without
any sign and began fighting with the stone spirits.
The Eight Stone Saints really had stolen something from them!
"Austin, take it. Don't refuse our offer."
Rhys also tried to persuade Austin.
"All right, | will take it."
Austin was a straightforward man. He didn't refuse anymore. He couldn't. It was not in his nature.
As soon as he touched the bag with his hand, a comfortable feeling suddenly arose in his heart. The fantastic feeling coursed his
body in an instant.
The holy pollen must have been magical indeed!
At that moment, Austin sensed a feeble stir on his body.
And several other stirs followed.
Austin suddenly felt another strange thing.
It was the divine silkworm had been sleeping in its cocoon all the time. To his surprise, however, it was moving now. It seemed that
the divine silkworm had wakened.
The cocoon was stirring slightly!
