A fat man was pushed to the ground. When he got up, a steel beetle was lying on his back. Its sharp teeth pierced through his back effortlessly and protruded from his front.
Under Fatty's unwilling gaze, he pulled out his teeth. Then, blood spurted from his chest into the air and he fell to the ground, twitching.
A bodyguard in black grabbed a wooden plank and smashed it at the flying iron beetle. However, the iron beetle's two front teeth moved left and right, and the wooden plank broke into a few pieces. Then, under the frightened eyes of the bodyguard in black, it bit off its neck. Its round head fell to the ground with a thud, and blood from the main artery on its neck actually sprayed two meters high. The scene was like a rain of blood.
The people on the first floor of the bar screamed and ran towards the stairs, thinking that they would be saved as long as they left the first floor.
There were calls for help, but they realized in despair that there was no signal.
There was even a woman who sat in a corner and began to chant the Great Compassion Mantra. The result was obvious. The iron beetles would never give in to motionless prey.
Even if Lu Chen saw this, he would not be able to save her.
After all, if he hadn't attracted a small portion of the iron beetles, more people would have died.
His right hand was holding the Green Destiny Sword to attack, while his left hand was holding a sharp tube from his backpack to defend.
The iron beetles were powerful, but in front of the Green Destiny Sword, they were as fragile as paper.
The equipment manufacturing system was not idle either. As long as an iron beetle died in Lu Chen's hands, it would prompt him whether to collect iron elements and iron beetle shells. Of course, Lu Chen chose to collect them.
Therefore, a strange phenomenon would occur around Lu Chen.
As long as the Green Destiny Sword hit a complete iron beetle, it would immediately turn into a pile of rotten meat without even falling to the ground. The shell on its back would have long disappeared.
Although Big Teeth's damage value was very high, it was not made of processed materials, so it could only be useless.
The iron beetle was the same as the fire beetle, they were the lowest level of F-grade creatures. These brainless bugs were almost irrational when they encountered food.
Of course, if it encountered a creature that was higher than its level, the iron beetle would flee in panic.
However, Lu Chen was only an F-class now, so the number of iron beetles around Lu Chen was increasing. On the one hand, there were not many people left in the hall on the first floor. They had already run to the second floor.
On the other hand, the iron beetles in the direction of the door shouted,
Squeak, squeak, squeak…
Lu Chen looked at the door in the middle of the battle. There were still a lot of iron armored worms there, but none of them moved.
It was as if he was protecting something.
The screams on the second floor gradually increased, although most of the iron beetles on the first floor surrounded Lu Chen.
However, there were still a small number of people who chased upstairs. Obviously, those people looked easier to kill than Lu Chen.
Lu Chen's eyes were filled with a trace of seriousness,'I'm afraid this won't do. These iron beetles actually know how to split up and use most of the iron beetles to entangle me. Although I will kill some of them, my lethality alone is limited in a short period of time.'
The other part went to chase after the others who had almost no ability to fight back.
When the others were all dead, without their attraction, all the iron beetles would probably pounce on him.
At that time, he would probably be exhausted. How could these brainless iron beetles be so smart?
There was only one possibility!
There were probably mutated iron beetles near the door, or else they wouldn't have made that kind of command.
The iron beetles wouldn't know to split into two groups, and the iron beetles near the door wouldn't be unmoved either. There were so many people in the bar, and it was a lot of delicious food. The iron beetles near the door were unmoved, so there must be something binding them.
However, even with the command of the Mutated Iron Beetle, this plan would still fail because Lu Chen, this uncertain factor, should be dealt with immediately.
Lu Chen did not bother with the iron beetles on the first level. He knew that if he did not think of a way to break out of this situation, he might be exhausted to death by these beetles today.
With that thought in mind, Lu Chen held onto Qing Styx with his right hand and swept it towards the Iron Beetle in front of him. However, he was forced to retreat.
He had changed countless sharp tubes in his left hand. The new tubes in his hand pierced the abdomen of a steel beetle from a very tricky angle, but they did not penetrate the body of the iron beetle.
Because the shell on the back of the iron beetle was too hard.
The iron beetle that was stabbed was not dead yet. It twisted and turned on the sharp tube.
However, Lu Chen was not here to watch its performance.
Lu Chen, who was retreating, used his left hand to swing the Iron Beetle up and down like a hammer.
Because the iron beetles were larger, they did not cause fatal damage after hitting some of them.
Just like that, Lu Chen retreated to the entrance of the stairwell. The sharp tube on his left hand had long been bent. As for the iron beetle at the tip, it had long been dead.
The collision with his companion had long turned him into a pile of rotten meat.
Lu Chen, who had thrown down the sharp pipe, took out a new sharp pipe from his backpack and retreated upstairs. At this time, the corridor was already covered in blood and broken limbs.
However, none of the iron beetles stayed, because the fresh flesh upstairs was more attractive.
The iron beetles on the first floor chased after Lu Chen closely. The corridor was not wide. With the cooperation of the Green Destiny Sword and the sharp tube, Lu Chen retreated up with ease.
The fierce battle just now had consumed a lot of stamina, and he had killed at least 40 iron beetles.
The noise from upstairs reached Lu Chen's ears. Clearly, someone had already begun to escape to the third floor.
There were red brick walls on both sides of the corridor, and there was a wooden door painted red.
At this moment, the iron beetles were wreaking havoc inside the wooden door, and their screams never stopped.
The number of people who had rushed up from the first floor hall, including those from the second floor itself, had already exceeded a hundred.
The corridor from the second floor to the third floor was already occupied by the crowd.
The first floor of Houhai Bar was the main hall, a place for people to dance. The second floor was filled with elegant tables, many of which had already fallen to the ground.
Some of the bolder men had already grabbed stools to defend and attack.
As for the third floor, it was filled with larger private rooms.
Hearing the screams and cries for help from downstairs, the people on the third floor only took a glance at the crowded crowd at the entrance of the corridor and went back to block the door of the private room with the sofa and coffee table.
A fellow cultivator would die, but not a poor one!
As Lu Chen retreated to the second floor, an even greater fear struck. Nearly a hundred Iron Beetles followed Lu Chen and scattered out from the first floor.
The already chaotic second floor became even more chaotic.
The men who had used stools and wine bottles to defend themselves all rushed to the stairwell. Some of them were even dragged into the swarm of insects and were torn apart while screaming.
Some of the people who fell down never had the chance to stand up again.
Seeing this, Lu Chen's eyes turned cold. These bastards actually used the lives of their companions in exchange for time to escape.
Because the scattered iron beetles did not focus on attacking Lu Chen, the pressure on Lu Chen was instantly reduced by a lot.
Therefore, he forced the surrounding iron beetles back and jumped to the entrance of the stairwell.
He stabbed the sharp tube in his left hand into the thigh of one of the men. This man was one of the people who threw his companion into the swarm. The man whose thigh was pierced howled in pain.
Lu Chen ignored him. Instead, he imitated the man's previous actions. With a swing of his left hand, the man who was pierced by the sharp tube was sent flying. In the air, he even knocked away a few iron beetles.
It was easy to imagine the fate of the man who flew towards the swarm of insects.
Lu Chen did not continue to throw people into the swarm.
Instead, he shouted at the crowd,"If you don't want to die, move the tables around to block the corridor. Otherwise, I can't save you!"”
On the second floor, other than the stairway, there were still people hiding everywhere else. At this moment, they had all become the targets of the iron beetles. Some of them were hiding under the table and praying, but the result was, of course, death.
The people at the entrance of the corridor were stunned when they saw Lu Chen covered in blood. However, someone quickly reacted and took advantage of Lu Chen's defense. A few brave ones started moving the tables.
One had to know that this man had charged all the way up from the first floor without losing his life. If she did not listen to him, once he died, she would probably not be able to escape death either.
Lu Chen was in a very difficult situation. If it was only him, then these bugs would not be able to tear through his defense.
However, in order to protect the people moving the table behind him, Lu Chen had no choice but to free his hands to kill the bugs that were attacking him.
As a result, he was hit by the iron beetles. Fortunately, he had the F-grade fire armor on him. Otherwise, the fangs of the iron beetles would have pierced through his body.
But even so, the cracks on the F-class fire armor increased.
Although the fangs of the Iron Beetle were unable to penetrate Lu Chen's body under the protection of the F-class Fire Armor, it did not mean that the F-class Fire Armor could completely defend against the fangs.
There were already a few small holes on Lu Chen's hands and legs. Even his thighs were cut open by sharp teeth, and his flesh was exposed.
As the battle continued, the people on the second floor were all bitten to death by the iron beetles.
Therefore, more and more iron beetles gathered at the entrance of the stairwell.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Chen shouted,"Retreat!"
It was precisely because Lu Chen lasted for ten minutes that the crowd at the entrance of the corridor safely retreated to the third floor.
With the help of a few brave people, eight tables were piled up at the entrance of the corridor.
These tables were all wrapped in solid wood and iron sheets. One of the bold people was the young man who had pleaded for Wang Qiang downstairs, Dong Sheng.
He was also the first to rush out to move the table. Previously, when Lu Chen said to move the table, Dong Sheng knew what Lu Chen wanted to do.
Under his command, the tables were stacked up to the ceiling, leaving a small passage the width of a person on one side.
The table was placed vertically, blocking the ceiling with its two sides. The table was facing outwards, forming a building that looked like four iron doors.
After Dong Sheng and the others retreated, Lu Chen forced the swarm of insects around him to retreat and rushed towards the man-made passage.
In an instant, Lu Chen retreated behind the table wall. Instead of defending himself, he kicked the table. He used the weight of the table to form an impact.
The bugs that were chasing after them were smashed flat, and the chaotic corridor was blocked by eight tables.
At this moment, Lu Chen let out a long sigh. He glanced at Dong Sheng who was standing on the third floor and said indifferently,"Well done, but if I were you now, I would definitely choose to commit suicide without hesitation.”
The iron table blocked the corridor. It would take some time for the iron beetles to come up.
Dong Sheng did not understand what Lu Chen meant and asked awkwardly,"Didn't those monsters block it?”
Lu Chen, who was leaning against the wall to recover his strength, closed his eyes and said,"Do you think those iron-skinned wood can stop them? Also, there were windows in the private room. Those idiots who blocked the door might have lived a few more minutes if they did not do so.”
Dong Sheng was a smart person. If his IQ was not high enough, he would not have cooperated with Lu Chen just now.
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Dong Sheng understood. Although the corridor was blocked by the table, those monsters could have broken the window and rushed in from the outside.
Moreover, the sharp teeth of those monsters could even pierce through bones. How could they not even pierce through a few millimeters of iron?
Thinking of this, Dong Sheng finally understood what Lu Chen meant. If I were you right now, I would definitely choose to commit suicide without hesitation.
That's right, being stabbed to death by those bugs would be better off killing themselves first. The crowd thought that they were saved and cheered.
Dong Sheng looked at Lu Chen, who had his eyes closed, unwillingly. This young man definitely had a way. Otherwise, he would not have blocked so many monsters in order to save people.
Dong Sheng's judgment was very accurate. Lu Chen did have a way, but once he did that, his identity would be exposed, and trouble would keep coming.
