Nobody had expected the Golden-clawed Bug's sudden appearance.
Although Lin Huang and the rest had known from the beginning that other investigators would definitely rush over, nobody had expected them to arrive so soon.
The moment the Golden-clawed Bug appeared, Lin Huang and the rest knew that things were not looking good.
As expected, the Golden-clawed Bug attacked the Boa Worm as soon as it stepped out of the dimensional gateway, slicing it into several pieces right away.
Although Lin Huang and the rest had not been injured by the attack, the Golden-clawed Bug's attack had successfully awakened the Ghoul Spider above their heads.
Therefore, something worse than the worst-case scenario they had expected happened.
The worst-case scenario they had anticipated was that the Ghoul Spider would sense something amiss and break free from the illusion before they could escape.
However, now, not only were they facing a furious Ghoul Spider that had broken free from the illusion, but there was also a Golden-clawed Bug glaring at them from the side.
Both bug beasts were ninth-rank heavenly god-level supreme powerhouses.
Even a ninth-rank heavenly god-level Protoss would have a headache if they were to encounter such a situation.
However, the highest combat strength among Lin Huang and the rest was only ninth-rank true god-level. Compared to the two bug beasts, they were an entire rank lower.
"Wait for an opportunity to escape later. Every single one of you that makes it out alive counts!" Saber9 said this to Lin Huang and the rest through voice transmission, then was the first to emerge from the Boa Worm's carcass.
He lifted his head to look at the Ghoul Spider with bloodshot eyes above his head.
Countless golden saber gleams began to consolidate rapidly in front of him.
Virtuoso did not escape. Instead, they stood still near Saber9 and began to perform hand seals quickly with both hands.
As he performed the hand seals, he said to Lin Huang and the rest through voice transmission, "The few of you came in person. If you die, you'll really die. The two of us will buy you some time. Run if you can! "
As soon as he finished speaking, he finished performing the hand seals. His body began to split rapidly, turning into countless identical silhouettes that charged toward the Golden-clawed Bug on the other side.
Meanwhile, on this side, countless golden gleams poured out of Saber9's body like torrential rain, enveloping the Ghoul Spider overhead.
When Lin Huang saw that Tu Tong and Lan Ling were still hesitating about whether they should help, he grabbed their wrists and dragged them toward the exit.
"The two of them won't be able to stall for much time. If you go up now, not only will you not increase your chances of winning, you'll only add to the chaos! The two of them will only be able to escape if you escape first! "He sent a voice transmission to the two of them. Only then did Tu Tong and Lan Ling stop resisting. But the two of them didn't notice that the main body of Lin Huang's words had always been the two of them, not himself.
As the three of them fled, the Ghoul Spider above their heads was completely engulfed by the golden gleam. Meanwhile, the Golden-clawed Bug on the other side was completely surrounded by tens of thousands of Virtuosos.
Lin Huang grabbed the two of them and arrived at the exit in an instant.
When they reached the exit, he paused. He did not charge out. Instead, he exerted force with both hands and pushed Tu Tong and Lan Ling out.
At that moment, the completely unharmed Ghoul Spider broke through Saber9's countless sword gleams. Meanwhile, the Golden-clawed Bug on the other side tore through the countless Virtuosos clones' encirclement.
The two of them unleashed all their techniques, but they were unable to stop the two bug beasts for even a breath's time.
At that moment, countless blood-red gleams shot out of Lin Huang's sleeves like electric arcs, attacking the two ninth-rank heavenly god-level bug beasts.
Although their Divine Telekinesis would still weaken rapidly without coming into contact with the Maze's walls, they could still be used within a short distance of tens of meters.
Lin Huang's attack had compounded the flying daggers with eight levels of sequence power and Sword Dao heavenly rule.
Even the two bug beasts sensed the danger. They immediately turned their attention to the blood-red arcs that were attacking them.
In the midst of their shock, Virtuosos and Saber9 sensed a thread wrapped around their waists. Almost at the same time, Lin Huang's voice transmission rang in their ears, "It's time to retreat!"
Only then did the two of them realize that these were Lin Huang's telekinetic threads. As soon as they gave up on the idea of breaking free, the two of them felt a massive force pulling them, and their bodies immediately flew toward the exit.
As they retreated, the two of them saw the blood-red arcs turn into two gigantic spheres, completely enveloping the two ninth-rank bug beasts.
After pulling the two of them to his side, Lin Huang pulled them through the exit without looking back.
The exit of the Demonic Bug Maze was completely barren.
Tu Tong and Lan Ling were waiting anxiously when they saw the three of them escaping together.
"Let's go!" Lin Huang did not stop. He merely growled and continued to flee into the distance.
In the Maze, after Lin Huang left, the telekinetic flying daggers fell to the ground one after another.
When the two bug beasts reappeared, there were obvious traces of blood on their bodies. However, they were only superficial wounds, and they quickly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The two bug beasts glanced in the direction of the exit but did not give chase. Instead, they chose to report this to their superiors immediately.
Lin Huang and the rest fled for some distance. When they realized that the Bug Tribe was not pursuing them, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Both of you owe me a set of top-notch god relic telekinetic weapons," Lin Huang said to Saber9 and Virtuosos in all seriousness.
The two of them were speechless.
However, both of them knew that Lin Huang's attack earlier had indeed left the telekinetic flying daggers in the Demonic Bug Maze.
"When we get out of the Abyss, we'll give you a set each, alright?" Virtuosos said irritably.
"Sure." Lin Huang agreed right away, but then he seemed to think of something. "Or you can exchange it for other materials of equal value."
He was doing this to avoid a shortage of hard-to-obtain rare materials when his imperial monsters advanced.
"No problem," Saber9 agreed right away.
Next to him, Virtuosos rolled their eyes at Lin Huang.
However, both of them knew very well that if Lin Huang had not exchanged a set of telekinetic flying daggers for the two of them, they might have died in the Demonic Bug Maze by now.
Tu Tong and Lan Ling could not understand what the three of them were talking about, but they dared not ask. All they could do was run after them.
"Those bugs didn't come after us right away. Does that mean we've successfully escaped?" Lin Huang asked Virtuosos.
"Sort of." Virtuosos nodded. "The Abyss is so big. If they didn't come after us right away, it'll be difficult for them to catch up with us again."
"It's normal that they didn't come after us. They can't be sure if we have any companions left in the Maze, so they'll definitely do a thorough search as soon as possible. This is to prevent the Bug Queen or the Queen Mother from being assassinated. As for us, we've been chased out of the Maze, so we're no longer a threat. Naturally, going after us isn't as important as checking the Maze's interior. "Saber9 was very clear about the Demonic Bug Maze's internal workings.
"The Bug Tribe powerhouses guarding the entrance must have received orders in advance that there's no need to go after the intruders once they escape the Maze. Otherwise, based on that Ghoul Spider's personality, there's a high chance that it would come after us, "Virtuosos added.
"The Demonic Bug Maze's crisis is considered over." Virtuosos continued, "What we need to find out as soon as possible is where exactly we are now."
