Chen Mu pinched an oval-shaped emerald insect and examined it.
The insect was the size of a fingernail and entirely a lustrous green, looking as if it were carved from jade.

The previous encounter with the antlered black sheep, which he could knock down with a single punch each, had led him to believe that exotic beasts were of little concern.
But the strange beetles had taught Chen Mu a lesson.
"They might have some bizarre abilities."
