Chapter 248: Mistakes
Bubtny was running frantically forward as a flock of angry birds chased after him.
The cries of these birds were very sharp, and Su Xiao's head started to hurt a lot as this huge horde started shouting in unison.
Although Bubtney was sometimes stupid, he ran very fast. If these birds didn't know how to fly, there was no way they would be able to catch up to him on equal terms.
After ten minutes of active pursuit, the birds fell behind them and stopped chasing, and Su Xiao told Bubtney to stop.
They were standing in front of a pool full of water, and the water was crystal clear.
Although this water looked very clear, Su Xiao didn't dare to touch it. He's already learned his lesson.
Even the birds in this place wanted to kill him, not to mention such an obvious trap.
After putting the emperor down, Su Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.
— He slapped the emperor's cheek, but he didn't react.
— Bubtney, wake him up.
Bubtny happily ran up to the emperor and bit him on the leg, after which he quickly began to shake his head from side to side.
— Ah-ah-ah! Bubtney let go of his leg when he heard the terrified cry.
— U-e-e-e...
Spitting out his dinner, the emperor glared at Bubtni. "You.".. but the emperor immediately shut up as soon as he saw Su Xiao with a smile on his face.
— Do you have anything to say?
— No, not really.
— Which direction do we need to go in now? "Su Xiao could only rely on the emperor's feelings, otherwise, he probably would have died in this place.
— Well... the emperor pointed to the left. — What's that sound?" The emperor muttered in incomprehension and looked around.
When Su Xiao heard a strange sound that was similar to the sound of overflowing water, he immediately looked at the pool carefully.
Looking at it, Su Xiao was horrified to suddenly realize that it wasn't a pool of water, but a pool of transparent creatures that looked very much like bugs.
Countless transparent creatures began to crawl out of the pool...
Su Xiao immediately jumped on Bubtny's back with the emperor and ordered his loyal dog to charge forward.
He had no idea how to deal with such creatures — there were too many of them.
The beetles quickly got out of the pool and followed the three guests like a stream of water.
Su Xiao turned and looked in the direction of these creatures, and his eyes immediately twitched.
A transparent giant snake that was a dozen meters thick and hundreds of meters long, made up of these bugs, was moving behind them...
As soon as the snake touched the grass, it immediately turned black and smoke began to emanate from it.
The snake was moving rapidly forward. It didn't matter if a tree or a rock got in her way — she just tore down everything in her path.
There was no trace of the huge trees left in just a couple of seconds of direct contact with the snake's body.
Whether it was trees or rocks, everything turned into nothing.
Although it looked like everything in the world was being eaten away by this snake, in reality, countless bugs simply ate everything in their path in a matter of moments.
Su Xiao took out an eye and told him to check out this creature.
[Compare the intelligence of both sides... comparison completed, Hunter's intelligence is 12 times greater than the target being scanned.]
[A horde of insects.

Skill 4: Secondary Immortality (Passive). Each individual creature can separate. Until all 170,000 creatures are destroyed at once, just one remaining creature can restore the entire population in 30 days..]
After seeing the creature's skills, Su Xiao knew that he couldn't destroy something like this.
Even if Esdeath showed up, she wouldn't be able to completely destroy all of these creatures at once.
The best way to deal with this" something " is to get as far away from it as possible.
After a while, these insects lost interest in Su Xiao's group and went back to their pool.
But Su Xiao didn't dare stop. It's best if they get as far away from this pool as possible.
Su Xiao wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible. The first two encounters had already shown that there were creatures here that were clearly too much for him.
But right now, he could only rely on the emperor's instructions.
Su Xiao took out the compass he had purchased earlier in Paradise, but its needle was spinning faster than the most sophisticated fan.
Moving forward for ten minutes, Su Xiao found himself in front of a large stone tablet with words engraved on it, but he couldn't make them out.
— Who will come... not... from the royal family... The emperor tried to read the words, but only managed to read a couple of them in the end.
— And then?
— I do not know such words. I learned this language when I was very young. Many years have passed since then, and I don't remember much anymore, " the emperor said with a shrug.
Su Xiao jumped down from Bubtny's back. "Mumble, tear it apart," Su Xiao said, and smiled coldly.
The Emperor's lie was too obvious.
Bubtney rushed over to the emperor and looked at his neck with great interest.
— Wait, I saved your life, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!!! - the emperor immediately gave a back door.
Su Xiao calmly took out a cigarette and lit it.
— In the first place, you didn't save me because you wanted to, but to save your own life. Second, if I hadn't taken you, the Minister and Esdes would have killed you. Third, you're my prisoner now, but when we get out of here, I'll let you go. If you don't remember the language, I'll ask Bubtney to help you with this problem.
Bubtney began circling the emperor. It looked like he was thinking about which part of the emperor to eat first.
— I got it, I got it!..
— So what does it say?
— All right, give me a minute, " the emperor said, and began to read carefully.
— This place is called "Birumak Testing Ground", this place was once the testing ground of the empire's alchemists. Many alchemists worked here and created alchemical creatures and items. Only royalty and alchemists could come here. We are currently in the outer layer of the polygon, and you can get to the center by moving east... the emperor said and fell silent.
— And?
— There is an exit from this place, an emergency exit, and it leads to the suburbs of the capital. We need to move east after we pass through the center of the polygon.
Su Xiao felt relieved. He was afraid that they were trapped and wouldn't be able to get out of this place.
If this was true, Su Xiao would rather go back and die in battle than die in this place of old age.
The good news was that there was a special exit leading directly to the suburbs of the capital from this place.
The bad news was that... if there were already such dangerous creatures in the outer layer, what would be waiting for them in the center?
