Bunong was a bit conflicted about whether to call Li Yifei back. But as he hesitated, the battle had already begun. The opponent unleashed the Sacred Beetle, having no intention of using it to plant a worm in Li Yifei. The Sacred Beetle's formidable attack capability made it disdain the use of poison; instead, it directly charged at the opponent.
Tianbao had once witnessed the Sacred Beetle directly attacking a wild boar. The boar, with its thick skin, couldn't withstand the fierce onslaught of the Sacred Beetle. Ultimately, it was struck on the back of the head and died convulsively. The Sacred Beetle then used its pincers to pry open the boar's skull and feasted inside.
Therefore, in Tianbao's mind, he imagined the Sacred Beetle cracking open Li Yifei's skull to consume his brain.
The Sacred Beetle lay quietly on Tianbao's hand, occasionally flapping its wings. There were still three holes visible on the beetle's shell, inflicted by the three steel needles Li Yifei had shot out.
