Battle Against the Time-Space Bugs

Hua Qiang sidestepped, then saw clearly that it was a bug the size of a calf.

The bug had a ghostly face, eight legs, and a gray abdomen patterned with rings. Its entire body was clad in hard armor. Two pairs of wings grew from its back, thin as cicada wings, yet their span stretched several zhang.

It was actually a Level Five flying Void Beast—a Time-Space Bug!
