"Black bugs!
"The sacred scarab?"
The old chief trembled.
The sacred scarab was their village's secret, and these outsiders knew of it?
Sacred scarabs fed on anything with venom or poison, and even scorpions and centipedes avoided them.
Sometimes, when the villagers were bitten by venomous insects, the sacred scarab would be able to get rid of the poison.
These sacred scarabs had saved the lives of many villagers.
The prospect of the modern world learning of such scarabs...
"I don't care what you call them, I just want some bugs to bring back.
"You guys must have a way to call them over, right?"
Lucas smiled.
"There is indeed a way, but we can only rely on the flute in the hands of our saintess.
"She's currently out. We can't help you at the moment," the old chief replied.
"Out?"
"It's fine. She'll be back soon.
"Santos, kill one person every minute until their saintess returns."
