Chapter 239: Rat Dies for Food

The square-jawed hunter reacted promptly. He leaped forward as soon as he sensed danger and narrowly avoided the attack of the golden foreleg.

But before he could get up after landing, his body sank again. Then the sand around him began to fall, forming a pit, and at the bottom of the pit was a huge mouth!

The square-jawed hunter was terrified. Just when he thought he was going to be bitten off by the mouth, a metal rope as thick as a finger wrapped around his ankle.

The owner of the rope pulled hard and pulled him out of the mouth at the critical moment.

The remaining hunters were not idle either. After they came to their senses, all kinds of attacks had already fallen into the sand pit together, which lasted for half a minute.

After half a minute, the attacks gradually stopped, but the iron-eating scarab in the pit had disappeared.

"Where did it go?" Everyone looked at Ace again.

"Uh... give me some time."

Only 10 of the 14 jumping mice that Ace released before came back, and the other 4 were either dead or scared away.

And the remaining jumping mice were also on strike. Ace had given each of them 3 pieces of dried meat, but they were still unwilling to go underground to look for the scary big bug.

Seeing more and more people looking over here, their eyes seemed to be asking him why he hadn't started yet, Ace couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

He took out all the dried meat on his body and said to the jumping mice, "I only have so much left. If you still think it's not enough, let's go our separate ways. If you can't help me, I won't support you anymore."

It's not known whether the dried meat he added moved the jumping mice, or the sentence at the end that if you don't do it, there are many other mice that will do it that made the jumping mice feel threatened.

In short, they finally overcame their fear again, started to move, and went underground one after another.

Ace couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the next moment his feet suddenly felt empty, and one of his legs had sunk into the yellow sand.

Then Ace saw two jumping mice desperately trying to get out from under the sand, but they only popped their heads out and disappeared again.

Having just seen what happened to the square-faced hunter, how could Ace not know what happened!

He quickly moved his legs and tried desperately to run to the pit, but the pit formed faster than he expected.

Fortunately, there were still many people waiting for him to find the location of the iron-eating scarab, and they had been paying attention to the movements here. Seeing this, the female hunter who had saved the square-faced hunter before also made a move again, manipulating her metal chain to come to Ace.

Wrapped around one of Ace's arms, trying to pull him out of the pit.

Just when Ace thought he was saved, two forelimbs stretched out from under the sand pit again, clamping one of his legs.

Ace couldn't help but scream, the iron-eating scarab was so powerful that it broke his leg bone with this clamp.

On the other side, the female hunter who controlled the metal chain exerted a little force, and Ace was pulled and screamed.

She could only loosen the metal chain, but the metal chain did not retract after leaving Ace's arm, but wrapped around one of the forelimbs of the iron-eating scarab again.

The female hunter wanted to use this method to prevent the iron-eating scarab from stuffing Ace into its mouth. But she obviously underestimated the power of the big golden bug, and was instead dragged by the latter and slid down the sand pit together.

A male hunter with only nine fingers beside her also rushed over at this time, and pulled the metal chain with her, and at the same time, a set of sand armor condensed on the nine-fingered hunter's body.

The weight of the sand armor was amazing, weighing a full two hundred kilograms. After the nine-fingered male hunter put on the armor, his feet sank into the sand, but he still couldn't stop the metal chain from being dragged into the pit.

Others also took action. Some released fireballs that exploded on the head of the iron-eating scarab. Some condensed the sand near the sand pit into spikes and stabbed the abdomen of the golden bug. Some simply summoned a tornado...

However, these attacks on the iron-eating scarab were just painless, and not even a wound was left.

It seemed that it found that the humans above had no good way to deal with it, and then the iron-eating scarab simply crawled out of the sand pit.

It was nearly nine meters long, light golden in color, with a pair of front legs, a pair of middle legs and a pair of hind legs. Almost all parts were covered with shells, making it difficult for the enemy to find a place to attack.

Seeing that their own attacks could not break through the defense, despair began to spread among the hunters.

Such a terrifying opponent was not something they could defeat at all. Participating in such an assessment might be a mistake from the beginning. Some people have already thought so.

But some people still did not give up the resistance. The hunter in charge was named Dianlu. After finding that such a chaotic attack had no effect, Dianlu immediately found the hunter who summoned the tornado.

He asked the latter to continue to create a tornado around the iron-eating scarab. At the same time, he found eight hunters with excellent melee ability, opened the equipment box provided by the Shuangyanghua Hunting Group, and took out the hot cutting saw from it.

This is the only weapon that can cause damage to the iron-eating scarab.

At the same time, Dianlu was still loudly encouraging others.

"This iron-eating scarab is less than ten meters long, and it is only light gold. It has not yet completed its transformation into an adult. As long as we cooperate properly, we still have a chance to defeat it. Even if we want to retreat, we must save our companions first."

The hunters he selected were not newcomers. They had all been in other hunting groups before. They had rich combat experience and strong ability to withstand pressure. Even in the face of the current situation, they still remained calm.

Hearing this, they all nodded, "No problem, we will all obey the command."

After that, Norimoku divided the 8 people into four teams in pairs, and assigned the 3 thermal cutting saws to 3 of the teams. The remaining team remained mobile as a backup and moved closer to the iron-eating scarab.

The sand and dust kicked up by the tornado provided them with cover, allowing them to quickly approach the big bug, and then attacked it from three directions.

Two of the three teams just feinted to attract the iron-eating scarab's attention, while the remaining team took the opportunity to jump on its back and use a thermal cutting saw to cut off the iron-eating scarab's forelimbs.

At the last moment when Ace was about to be put into the mouth, they finally sawed through the thick carapace on the outside of the forelimbs and cut off its joints.

Ace's body fell from the air.

The prey that had been brought to its mouth just slipped away, making the iron-eating scarab extremely angry. It swung its other forelimb to stab the unconscious Ace on the ground.

However, a metal chain appeared from nowhere and dragged the person away one step ahead.
