"Austin! More people are coming!"
A sharp cry of terror broke out from Shepard.
"Something's strange up ahead. Let's go and have a look."
"It looks like a secret space!"
Several shouts from various people were heard one after another.
"Why are they here now?"
Austin frowned darkly.
"Austin! Hurry! Take the chaotic world tree first! Everything else is secondary!"
Peterson and Hare urged Austin at the same time.
"Got it."
Austin agreed easily. He knew how precious the chaotic world tree was. Everyone from the Sea of Chaos was fighting for it.
In the blink of an eye, he was already halfway to the chaotic world tree's direction.
At that moment, before Austin could reach the tree, something unexpected greeted him.
Buzz!
A deafening sound echoed out around them.
White dots appeared around them. Upon closer inspection, each dot had wings and they flew towards Austin in a flash.
"These are devouring bugs!"
Austin froze in complete shock.
Shrill cries burst out of the thick cloud of countless devouring bugs before they charged as one towards him.
One or two devouring bugs wouldn't have bothered him at all.
Under the threat of so many devouring bugs, Austin didn't doubt that even divine gods would retreat with their tails between their legs.
Even at his best, he was no match for so many devouring bugs.
If he was just a second too late in escaping, he might lose his life where he was standing.
Without any hesitation, Austin turned around and instantly rushed out of the special space.
A large group of young people were surrounding Shepard outside.
Right when Austin entered that space, Shepard was right on his heels but a large group of young cultivators suddenly arrived and surrounded him.
Much to his surprise, Austin rushed out of the space before the fight even began.
"Austin!"
Shepard called out when he met Austin's eyes.
No matter how many enemies he faced, Shepard knew that Austin would save him.
"Leave now if you still want to live!"
In the blink of an eye, Austin displayed the Omnipotent Lightness and the Distance-shortening Technique as he stepped forward and left with Shepard in his grasp.
"You don't have to be scared of them with the level of your strength."
Shepard was nothing but confused as Austin grabbed him to leave in a panic.
"Cowards!"
"He escaped from us in a flash! That guy's bodily movement skill is really impressive!"
Laughter burst out of the group of young cultivators when they saw Austin and Shepard run away.
Their laughter tapered off to a stop in the next moment.
Buzz! Buzz!
A huge white cloud of an overwhelming number of white bugs suddenly appeared and rushed before the group of young people.
Deafening screams continuously rang out from them.
"Run!"
"No! Help! Please!"
In just a flash, many young people miserably died within the cloud of insects.
Anyone who could still stand on their feet hurriedly ran as fast as they could.
It finally hit them why Austin and Shepard escaped like a bat out of hell. Austin discovered the terrible bugs.
Tens of thousands of corpses littered the content and Austin finally understood why so many Divine Realm warriors died here in this new world despite being so powerful.
Most of them must have died in the claws and bites of those devouring bugs.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
After a few heart-stopping moments, Austin finally exited the world with Shepard.
"Fortunately, we managed to escape, or we'd be in big trouble.
It's a pity that I didn't get the chaotic world tree even though I already found it,"
Austin sighed heavily.
"What pity? With so many devouring bugs protecting the chaotic world tree, it's impossible to get it at all.
Moreover, this isn't the first time that the chaotic world tree has been found.
No one can get their hands on it even until now.
This just means it's not a walk in the park to get it,"
Peterson easily assured him.
