For a while, they weren’t sure how to explain themselves and stood there timidly, uncertain of what to do.
Zi shook his head helplessly, sighing internally.
Fortunately, he didn’t make a big mistake.
If his power were stronger, this wouldn’t have happened.
He walked hastily over to An Qi, who was maintaining a defensive stance with her arms extended forward, and quickly grabbed one of her hands to gauge her condition.
When Zi touched her hand, the confusion in An Qi’s eyes gradually faded and the look of innocence reappeared.
She threw her arms around Zi’s in a somewhat fearful manner, asking, “Brother Zi.
What happened just now?
What’s wrong with me?”
Zi gently patted her head and replied in a caring manner, “It’s alright now, it’s all over.
You just saved everyone.
Otherwise, I’m afraid many of us would have been injured.”
“Everyone’s okay, right?” Ye Yinzhu questioned as he climbed up from the ground.
Or more accurately, he was rising up from Sura and Haiyang’s bodies.
Under the intense impact, his Moon God’s Protection shattered instantly.
Luckily, his strength was remarkable.
bining this with the fact that An Qi had successfully resisted the majority of the shockwave, he escaped injury.
The bodies of Sura and Haiyang felt very soft as they collapsed onto him.
He was initially worried that they were injured, but when he stood up and saw them getting up from the ground, a smile appeared on his face.
Sura and Haiyang were unharmed, as when they were knocked down by Ye Yinzhu they didn’t fall directly onto the hard cave floor.
Beneath them, the two large insects that Ye Yinzhu had thankfully managed to save with spare Zither strings were squashed.
The two meter long bugs acted as an ideal cushion, though they were grimacing in disfort, squirming and grunting discontentedly.
Yue Ming was also lucky.
When the shockwave appeared, Ma Liang and Chang Hao happened to be in front of her.
Although the three of them fell simultaneously, they were in the deepest part of the cave and thus bore the smallest brunt of the shockwave.
While aching all over, they weren’t significantly hurt.
However, two porcupines that were already 70% roasted rolled onto the ground, gathering dust.
By now, everyone was covered in dust and ashes from the burnt firewood, looking like a mess.
Only the Crimson Spirit curled up was in a bit better condition.
Since entering the Northernmost Wilderness, this had been their most pathetic day in the past five days.
The two large bugs seemed unperturbed by their recent actions.
Not too far from them were the two dust-coated porcupines.
With a slow squirm, they reached their meals.
They opened their mouths in perfect synchrony and began eating without any concerns about cleanliness.
“Ah-ha, so these two little creatures are here.
I’ll kill you two.” Dis noticed the bugs crawling out from under Ye Yinzhu and his panions and leaped over in a flash, his body filled with a golden glow.
He was furious and humiliated by the bugs’ actions.
He naturally wouldn’t vent his rage on Zi, but couldn’t restrain himself upon spotting the initiators of their predicament.
“Dis, stop.” Ye Yinzhu shouted, pulling the bugs that were chewing on the porcupine towards him with Green Silk.
“Zither…, Don’t stop me.
These two bugs almost killed everyone.
We even lost our dinner.
I need to finish them.”
Blocking the two bugs, Ye Yinzhu gave a bitter smile, “Aren’t you afraid they’ll retaliate?
Besides, this cave could collapse at any moment.
Do you want all of us to be buried alive?” Considering Dis’s strength, if he gave that golden kick, the cave would most likely collapse.
Dis paused and reluctantly withdrew his golden glow.
Chirping, the two large bugs each made a sound.
Ye Yinzhu felt his legs being rubbed by something soft.
Looking down, he amusingly found the two bugs rubbing against his calves.
In their pale golden eyes, there was nothing but an attempt to please.
Haiyang said, “They seem to mean no harm, right?” She crouched down and cautiously touched the bug clinging to Ye Yinzhu’s left leg.
The bug’s body was as soft as cotton, warm and smooth to touch, very fortable.
It also seemed to be soothed by Haiyang’s touch, appearing to enjoy it and even closed its small eyes.
Zi, holding An Qi, walked over to them.
His clothes were severely damaged and his purple hair was full of dust, as was his face.
Seeing him in such a sorry state, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but laugh, “Zi, are you alright?”
Surprisingly, Zi was also laughing, evidently even happier than Ye Yinzhu, “I’m perfectly fine, more than fine.
Yinzhu, I don’t know if it’s your luck or mine.
Before we even reached Frosty Forest, we encountered one of the targets of our trip.”
“What?” Ye Yinzhu stared in surprise at the two bugs at his feet.
He instantly remembered what Zi had once told him about the other three Ancient Divine Beasts the Beastmen were seeking.
Searching for those divine beasts was the purpose of their journey.
There was no way the two bugs could be War Behemoth or Mountain Giants, they could only be the Gold Armor Forbidden Insect.
However, wasn’t the Gold Armor Forbidden Insect supposed to be covered in golden armor?
Zi evidently didn’t want the others who came with Yin Zhu to find out about the origin of these two bugs.
She said to Yin Zhu, “They were probably attracted by the sound of your zither.
They seem to like you a lot.
Let’s take them with us for now and leave this place.
We can talk more about it later.”
With the same innate contract between them, they could easily understand each other’s thoughts.
Yin Zhu understood Zi’s intentions and nodded.
She picked up the two large bugs in her arms, one in each hand.
They were quite heavy, each one weighing over a hundred kilograms despite only being a meter long with a diameter of about thirty centimeters.
However, this weight was nothing to Yin Zhu.
After quickly dusting off their bodies, the group embarrassedly left the cracked stone cave to find another place for shelter.
The Northernmost Wilderness was cold, especially during the night.
Zi had mentioned before that it was not realistic to travel at night in the Northernmost Wilderness because the nighttime temperature was double that of the day.
They hadn’t felt it too much in the cave, but the moment they stepped out, they were immediately hit by a biting cold.
Some of the mages couldn’t handle it already.
Sura pressed his right hand to his chest and released his silver coin.
After being absorbed by the reverse scale, Little Silver Coin had grown to about three meters long, progressing from the young to the growth stage.
Though its growth rate has slowed down, pared to ordinary silver dragons, its growth rate was astonishing.
This was the advantage of signing a contract resulting in a drastic improvement in the growth of magical beasts.
Seeing a silver dragon appear all of a sudden, Dis and Perkins instantly went on alert.
However, once they noticed it was Sura’s contracted demonic beast, they relaxed slightly.
Little Silver Coin couldn’t fly yet, its chubby body hopping around next to Sura.
Under Sura’s mand, a ring of red light appeared around everyone.
It was the low ranked fire element magic, Resist Flame.
However, its purpose was not for defense but for warmth.
With Resist Flame functioning, the cold was reduced somewhat, and everyone felt much more fortable.
Yin Zhu walked beside Zi with the two Golden Behemoths in the front and back.
After they left the cave, they discovered not only the inside of the cave had cracked, but the entire mountain had also suffered extensive damage.
Therefore, they had to find another place.
If they could not find a suitable mound to make a cave, they would have to camp out in the open with tents.
However, that would make it quite hard to withstand the cold of the Northernmost Wilderness.
“Zi, did you say they were Gold Armor Forbidden Insects?” Yin Zhu asked Zi through sound transmission.
Zi nodded and replied through sound transmission as well, “Yes.
What else apart from Gold Armor Forbidden Insects could send such a strong attack without any attribute?
The blow just now, while not as powerful as a forbidden curse, nearly buried all of us in the cave due to two unattributed elemental bullets.
If I’m not wrong, these two bugs you are holding are the Gold Armor Forbidden Insects in their youth state.
At present, they seem to be able to emit only one elemental bullet, and the power is not too great either.
All these are thanks to your zither music!
Finding them means this trip to Frosty Forest has been worth it, even without any other gains.”
Yin Zhu responded,”No wonder you were so happy.
But I feel they might be a bit too dangerous.
If there are a few more incidents like this, who knows what might happen.”
Zi responded, “That won’t happen.
As they are in a juvenile stage, their intelligence is limited.
They can’t even speak human language.
They will attack only when threatened.
At this stage, the Gold Armor Forbidden Insects should be the easiest to approach.
They clearly like your zither music and based on their dependence on you, there won’t be any problems in the future.
I guess they must have realized that your zither music helps in their growth.
After we find a place to rest later, you can try municating with them.”
Yin Zhu asked, “Ancient divine beasts have slow growth rates, right?
Since they’re only in the juvenile stage, when will they be able to help you?”
Zi gave a small smile and said, “I’ve waited so long, what’s a little more time?
We are already extremely lucky; we can’t get greedy.
Perhaps, these two Gold Armor Forbidden Insects are the last two in the entire Northernmost Wilderness.
Besides, with your zither music, who can tell how their growth rate would be.
As your Zither Magic improves, it will bee even more effective with magical beasts.
Let them follow you for now.
Once they possess enough strength, you can bring them to help me.
It’s a pity you formed a contract with me; otherwise, considering their dependence on you, you could have made one of them your contracted beast.”
Yin Zhu slightly smiled, said, “Didn’t you just say we shouldn’t be too hopeful?
I already have you, the leader of the four sacred beasts, the Amethyst Behemoth as my best friend, what more can I ask for?”
They looked at each other and couldn’t help but laugh.
