The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1251

Jonathan grabbed Stellario by the collar and cursed furiously, “Like h*ll I do!”

Around him, several black bugs had already begun to flap their wings, flying in his direction.

Jonathan felt a piercing pain in his shoulder, followed by a wave of overwhelming dizziness.

“Run!”

Life force, being the primal aura of Pryncyp, had a powerful inhibiting effect on all types of toxins.

As the life force within him circulated, Jonathan regained clarity.

He slashed his sword beside Merilyn, instantly bisecting two black bugs.

Stellario and Merilyn didn’t have Seboxia’s support. Even with Jonathan right beside them, judging by Seboxia’s temperament, he would never expend his life force to save the two since Stellario and Merilyn were useless to him.

Only inevitable death awaited Stellario and Merilyn if they got hurt.

Watching the rapidly growing swarm of bugs, Merilyn and Stellario reacted entirely differently.

Merilyn chose to flee while Stellario hesitated for a moment before scattering a packet of medicinal powder. Then, he ran through the pungent powder and charged toward the swarm of bugs.

“Stellario, are you out of your mind?” Jonathan shouted at Stellario.

“You guys go first. I must lay my hands on the queen of the black bugs!”

Stellario moved with breakneck speed at that instant, reaching the middle of the swarm in just a few moments.

Initially, Jonathan wanted to persuade Stellario, but at the thought of the Mallory family members’ obsession with bugs, he could only turn around and leave.

“Are we leaving just like this?” Merilyn asked Jonathan with slight reluctance.

Jonathan stepped on a large stone, and with a leap, he had traveled tens of meters away.

“He chose that path, so whether he lives or dies, he has to bear it himself.” Jonathan turned to look at the distant swarm of bugs as he spoke before looking up at the light signal that had reappeared atop them.

“Don’t worry. Stellario was the one who captured the queen bug from Mount Boisvista, and the Mallory family has been researching bugs for generations, so he won’t die. What we should worry about now is not Stellario but how we are going to survive.” Jonathan didn’t utter those words for the sole purpose of comforting Merilyn. Instead, that was the actual circumstances they were facing.

While dealing with the silver proboscis monkeys earlier, Jonathan couldn’t withstand the backlash of the bronze handbell and had to withdraw the protection, causing the formation to target their auras again.

Jonathan grabbed Stellario by the collar and cursed furiously, “Like h*ll I do!”

Those native cultivators who wanted to become a Yannopolis envoy would definitely flock over again in no time after noticing the trio’s light signals.

Stellario was now considered the safest among the three of them.

After all, no one would dare to approach the swarm of bugs.

Jonathan frowned as he gazed ahead.

According to the position where those light signals fell before, he should have met Hayden by now.

Even if he had miscalculated the distance, Jonathan believed Hayden would certainly stir a commotion to reveal his whereabouts.

After all, that was the only way he could have the highest chance of survival.

However, there wasn’t any news from Hayden’s side, and that could only mean he was being hunted down or had already died since there were just too many indigenous cultivators in the arena.

Some of the native cultivators wanted to kill Jonathan and his party to secure the nine spots, while there were those who tried to avoid the crowd by opting to hunt down the remaining six targets.

Jonathan couldn’t be more familiar with Hayden’s strength.
