14	140	We came upon a Golden beetle though none had ever been seen in that place and I wanted to go to the beetle and I put down my head and approached it but the girl seized my antennae and dragged me away, thus saving my life".	6
23	52	But still, as the Mul-Torch burned lower and I yet encountered no sign of the Golden beetle, my thoughts turned ever and again to the still form of Vika lying in the cavern of the Golden beetle.	6
24	54	How horrible I thought it would be to be trapped in these tunnels, waiting for the beetle, able to avoid it perhaps for hours, perhaps days, but not daring to sleep or to stop, not knowing if one were going down a blind passage, if the beetle were suddenly to confront one...	6
25	2	They had now entered my skin and to my horror I felt a pull against my tissues and knew that the creature was now sucking through those foul tubes, but I was a man, a mammal, and not a Priest-King, and my body fluids were locked within the circulatory system of another form of being, and I thrust ag...	6
27	5	I was less pleased to have left the translator with the disk but it seemed the better thing to do, for one would not have taken a translator into the tunnels of the Golden beetle and if it were found missing from the disk it might occasion speculation not that I had returned from the t...	6
30	72	The exudate which forms on the mane hairs of the Golden beetle, which had overcome me in the close confines of the tunnel, apparently has a most intense and, to a human mind, almost incomprehensibly compelling effect on the unusually sensitive antennae of Priest-Kings, luring them help...	6
31	213	Then to my amazement when the beetle neared Sarm the Priest-King sank down on his supporting appendages, almost as if he were on his knees, and suddenly plunged his face and antennae into the midst of the waving mane hair of the Golden beetle.	6
32	158	I could now see the antennae of both Misk and Kusk turning towards the beetle, and I could see the beetle stop, and the mane hairs begin to lift.	6
32	180	With a cry of joy I rushed upon the beetle and Vika and Al-Ka and Ba-Ta and their women joined me and together, kicking and pushing, avoiding the tubular jaws, hurling rocks, we forced away the globe of the Golden beetle.	6
10	2	What in the passageways I had taken to be the scent of Priest-Kings had actually been the residue of odor-signals which Priest-Kings, like certain social insects of our world, use in communicating with one another.	6
10	106	Now I may still look forward someday to the Pleasures of the Golden beetle".	6
13	113	"It scavenges on the kills of the Golden beetle," said the first slave.	6
13	114	"What does the Golden beetle kill?" I asked.	6
14	142	"The pain was excruciating," said Misk, "and I could not but follow her in spite of the fact that I wanted to go to the Golden beetle.	6
14	143	In an Ahn of course I no longer wanted to go to the beetle and I knew then she had saved my life.	6
14	151	"Is it not possible," I asked, "that Sarm wished you to die by the Golden beetle?" "Of course," said Misk.	6
14	158	The Second, Third and Fourth Born, in the long ages, have, one by one, succumbed to the Pleasures of the Golden beetle.	6
15	69	"How long," I asked, "does a Priest-King live?" "Long ago," said Misk, "Priest-Kings discovered the secrets of cell replacement without pattern deterioration, and accordingly, unless we meet with injury or accident, we will live until we are found by the Golden beetle".	6
15	76	"One by one we succumb to the Pleasures of the Golden beetle.	6
15	127	"Once," said Misk, "we rejoiced and lived, but now though we remain young in body we are old in mind, and one wonders more often, from time to time, on the Pleasures of the Golden beetle".	6
20	166	"He means," said Mul-Al-Ka, "that she has been sent to the tunnels of the Golden beetle".	6
20	182	"No," said Mul-Al-Ka, "we are simply to tell you that Vika of Treve awaits you in the tunnels of the Golden beetle".	6
20	183	"That is the weak part of Sarm's plan," said Mul-Ba-Ta, "for you would never go to the tunnels of the Golden beetle to seek a female Mul".	6
20	185	"You will not go to the tunnels of the Golden beetle," said Mul-Ba-Ta, "because it is death to do so".	6
22	1	To the Tunnels of the Golden beetle I slung the translator on its chain over my shoulder and went to the bars near the door.	6
22	86	"Yes," said Mul-Al-Ka, "find yourself some secret place and stay, and perhaps someday Sarm will succumb to the Pleasures of the Golden beetle and you can emerge in safety".	6
22	102	"What was sad," said Misk, "was that I might not have been able to give Gur to the Mother, and that thought troubled me grievously for the days in which I retained Gur, but now thanks to you I will be able to give Gur to the Mother and I will stand forever in your debt until I am slain by Sarm or su...	6
22	121	"We will come with you, Tarl Cabot," said Mul-Al-Ka, "to fight the Golden beetle".	6
22	123	"The girl Vika of Treve lies in the tunnels of the Golden beetle," I said.	6
22	156	"You are foolish," he said, "to go to the tunnels of the Golden beetle".	6
22	168	"Where are the tunnels of the Golden beetle?" I asked.	6
22	171	"Is it as difficult to slay a Golden beetle as a Priest-King?" I asked.	6
22	173	"We have never slain a Golden beetle, nor have we studied them".	6
23	2	Deep in the unlit tunnels of the Golden beetle, those unadorned, tortuous passages through the solid rock, I came upon her body.	6
23	4	She wore only brief rags, the remains of her once long and beautiful garment, torn and stained by what must have been her terrified flight through these dark, rocky tunnels, running, stumbling, screaming, futilely trying to escape the pursuing jaws of the implacable Golden beetle.	6
23	9	I wondered if the removal of the collar meant that Vika had been freed before being closed within the tunnels of the Golden beetle.	6
23	10	I recalled vaguely that Misk had once said to me that in deference to the Golden beetle it was given only free women.	6
23	11	The cavern in which she lay reeked of the spoor of the Golden beetle, which I had not yet encountered.	6
23	17	She was unmoving and her eyes seemed fixed on me with all the horror of the last moment in which the jaws of the Golden beetle must have closed upon her.	6
23	27	I saw her now as only a girl, surely too innocent for this, who had met the Golden beetle and had in consequence died one of the most horrible of deaths.	6
23	28	She was of the human kind and whatever might have been her faults, she could not have deserved this grotesque, macabre fate, the jaws and cavern of the Golden beetle.	6
23	41	There was nothing I could do for her now, save perhaps hunt for the Golden beetle.	6
23	43	I might move it from the filth of the Golden beetle's den but it, until the creature itself was slain, would never be safe from its despoiling jaws.	6
23	47	I continued to search the stony passages of the tunnels of the Golden beetle but I saw no sign of the creature.	6
23	51	As I wandered through these passages my sorrow for Vika of Treve struggled with my hatred for the Golden beetle until I forced myself to clear my head of emotion and concentrate on the task at hand.	6
23	53	It had been weeks since I had last seen her and I supposed it would have been at least days since she had been closed in the tunnels of the Golden beetle.	6
23	54	How was it that she had been captured only so recently by the creature? And if it were true that she had been captured only recently how would she have managed to live in the caverns for those days? Perhaps she might have found a sump of water but what would there have been to eat, I wondered? Perha...	6
23	55	And how was it, I asked myself, that the Golden beetle had not already feasted on the delicate flesh of the proud beauty of Treve? And I wondered on the five strange protuberances that nested so grotesquely in her lovely body.	6
23	58	Time and time again I stumbled against outcroppings of rock and bruised my shoulders and thighs but never once did I diminish my speed in my headlong race back to the cavern of the Golden beetle.	6
23	60	I burst into the cavern of the Golden beetle and held the torch high.	6
24	1	The Golden beetle At that instant I heard a slight noise and looked up to see peering at me from the darkness of one of the tunnels leading from the cavern, two flaming, luminous eyes.	6
24	2	The Golden beetle was not nearly as tall as a Priest-King, but it was probably considerably heavier.	6
24	26	It seemed to me that it would be very difficult to injure the Golden beetle, particularly when its head was withdrawn beneath the shell of its enclosing wings.	6
24	28	It would most certainly limit its vision but I did not suppose that the Golden beetle, any more than a Priest-King, much depended on this sense.	6
24	34	As I touched the girl the beetle took another step forward.	6
24	37	Now the beetle began to poke its head out from beneath the shelter of those domed, golden wings and its short antennae, tufted with golden fluff, thrust out and began to explore the chamber.	6
24	41	Walking backwards, Vika on my shoulder, the Mul-Torch in my hand, I slowly retreated from the cavern of the Golden beetle.	6
24	43	I had no notion of the speed of the creature but at this point I turned and began to jog away down the passage, back toward the entrance to the tunnels of the Golden beetle.	6
24	47	Now, scrambling after me in the tunnel, I could hear the approach of the Golden beetle.	6
24	50	Apparently my conjecture as to the mobility of the Golden beetle had been correct and the speed of its pursuit had quickly slackened.	6
24	53	I wondered at the nature of the beetle's pursuit of his prey.	6
24	55	No, I supposed the beetle did not need speed in its tunnels.	6
24	58	And yet it seemed strange to me to think of the beetle as pursuing its prey in these tunnels for hours, perhaps days.	6
24	64	There did not seem to be much air in the tunnels of the Golden beetle.	6
24	66	There was an odor in the tunnels of the Golden beetle, perhaps of its spoor or various exudates.	6
24	71	The beetle was far behind.	6
25	1	The Vivarium My hands seized the narrow, hollow, pincerlike jaws of the Golden beetle and tried to force them from my body, but those relentless, hollow, chitinous hooks closed ever more tightly.	6
25	4	The beetle wavered, its entire shell of golden, fused wings trembling, and it seemed as if those fused wings shook as though to separate and fly but they could not, and it pulled its head back under the shelter of the wings.	6
25	10	I did not wish to resheath my sword, for it was coated with the body fluids of the Golden beetle.	6
25	13	I thought for a moment I might clean it on the golden strands of the beetle's strange mane but I discovered these were wet with foul, glutinous exudate, the source of that unpleasant, narcotic odor which still permeated the passageway.	6
25	20	But now it was important to get her from the tunnels, to find her a place of refuge and safety where I hoped she might recover from the venom of the Golden beetle.	6
25	24	What approached was not another Golden beetle, though I supposed there might have been several in those tunnels, but another inhabitant of those dismal passages, the whitish, long, slow, blind Slime Worm.	6
25	25	Its tiny mouth on the underside of its body touched the stone flooring here and there like the poking finger of a blind man and the long, whitish, rubbery body gathered itself and pushed forward and gathered itself and pushed forward again until it lay but a yard from my sandal, almost under the she...	6
25	27	"No," I said, "the Golden beetle has not made a kill in this place".	6
25	28	The tiny red mouth seemed to continue to peer at me for perhaps a moment or two more and then it slowly turned away from me to the carcass of the Golden beetle.	6
25	39	* * * * Although it was slow work I had little difficulty in finding my way back to where I had entered the tunnels of the Golden beetle.	6
25	43	When I came to the portal where I had entered I found it closed as I had known it would be and there was, as I knew, no handle or obvious device for opening the door on this side, for no one returned, supposedly, from the tunnels of the Golden beetle.	6
25	44	The portals were opened occasionally to allow the beetle its run of the Nest but I had no idea when this might occur again.	6
25	50	It had been Sarm's intention apparently that I should enter the tunnels of the Golden beetle and die there and so I thought it expedient to allow him to believe I had done so.	6
25	51	I knew the tunnels of the Golden beetle, like those of the Nest itself, were ventilated and I hoped to be able to use one of the shafts to leave the tunnels undetected.	6
25	52	If this were not possible I would explore the tunnels seeking some other exit, and if worse came to worst, I was sure that Vika and I, now that I knew the dangers and strengths and weaknesses of the Golden beetle, might manage to survive indefinitely in the tunnels, however despicably,...	6
25	136	"You brought me," she said, "from the tunnels of the Golden beetle".	6
27	4	The transportation disk which had originally taken me to the chamber where I had found Misk I had taken to the entrance to the tunnels of the Golden beetle and I thought it well that it should stay there, as if witnessing my entrance and my supposed failure to return.	6
27	228	"What of the Golden beetle?" asked Sarm.	6
27	324	"I said nothing to him but I considered what he had said, and I thought on this matter, and at last—in league with the Second Born, who has since succumbed to the Pleasures of the Golden beetle, I set aside a female egg to be concealed from Sarm beyond the Nest".	6
30	76	It was not more than a day later before one of Sarm's own scouts laid aside his weapon and, as the Priest-Kings say, succumbed to the Pleasures of the Golden beetle.	6
30	77	Now the beetles roamed at random throughout the Nest, more of a threat to Sarm's own forces than Misk's, for now none of Misk's Priest-Kings ventured abroad without a human to protect it should it encounter a Golden beetle.	6
30	81	The Golden beetles, free within the Nest, forced Sarm, in sheer regard for survival, to turn to humans for help, for humans, particularly in the well-ventilated areas of the Nest, are relatively impervious to the narcotic odor of the beetle's mane, an odor which is appare...	6
31	196	Behind me, inching its way up the narrow walkway, clinging with its six small legs, slowly lifting its heavy domelike golden body a step at a time, came the Golden beetle I had seen below.	6
31	218	Sarm's antennae lay immersed in the golden hair of the beetle; his grasping appendages with their sensory hairs caressed the golden hair; even did he take some of the hairs in his mouth and with his tongue try to lick the exudate from them.	6
31	221	I could not shut out from my ears the grim sound of the sucking jaws of the beetle.	6
31	223	I wondered if the hairs of the Golden beetle, heavy with the droplets of that narcotic exudate, offered adequate recompense to a Priest-King for the ascetic millennia in which he might have pursued the mysteries of science, if they provided an acceptable culmination to one of those lon...	6
31	229	Then in the last spasmodic throb of death Sarm's body broke free of the jaws of the Golden beetle and reared up once more to its glorious perhaps twenty feet of golden height.	6
31	232	The swollen, lethargic beetle turned slowly to face me.	6
32	157	"You must not yield to the Golden beetle!" I cried.	6
32	160	I drew my sword, but gently Misk seized my wrist, not permitting me to rush upon the beetle and slay it.	6
32	162	The beetle drew closer, and I could see the mane hairs waving now like the fronds of some marine plant caught in the currents of its underwater world.	6
32	163	"You must resist the Golden beetle," I said to Misk.	6
32	165	Kusk took a step toward the beetle.	6
32	166	"You must resist the Golden beetle to the end!" I cried.	6
32	172	"You do not understand, my children," said Kusk, "what the Golden beetle means to a Priest-King".	6
32	173	"I think I understand," I cried, "but you must resist!" "Would you have us die working at a hopeless task," asked Misk, "die like fools deprived of the final Pleasures of the Golden beetle?" "Yes!" I cried.	6
32	178	He surveyed the humans gathered about him, the heavy golden hemisphere of the approaching beetle.	6
35	42	I would always remember Sarm, huge and golden, in the last agonizing minute when he had pulled free of the Golden beetle and had stood upright and splendid in the crumbling, perishing Nest that he was determined must be destroyed.	6
35	123	"Howsoever I spoke," said Misk, "words cannot diminish men or Priest-Kings—for who cares what we are—if we can act, decide, sense beauty, seek right, and have hopes for our people?" I swallowed hard, for I knew I had hopes for my race, and I sensed how Misk must have them for his, only...	6
