The hill-like hive gradually shrunk and turned into a silver ball with countless lotus-like holes. Black beetles were constantly being summoned into it. When these black beetles came out, they had already been assimilated by the Star Swallowing Art. Their natural genetic restrictions were removed, and they became demonic insects of the same level as the king beetles.
Whether it was ordinary ants or bees, or demonic insects like the black beetles, every egg that was born had genetic restrictions, so most of the eggs could not hatch into high-level existences.
However, for Xu Liao, who had already turned them into combat beasts, this restriction was meaningless. Only by removing the genetic restrictions could he unleash the combat power of the black beetles.
The black beetles under Xu Liao's control kept increasing in strength. He did not even go to the second hive. Instead, he divided the black beetles under his control into twelve groups. Eleven of them attacked the remaining hives, and the last group, under his command, went to deal with the swarm of insects that trapped the imperial army.
Although he could give orders to the Black Beetles once he controlled the hive, it would take time to control the rest of the hives. Xu Liao did not wish for the empire's army, which was under his control, to lose more soldiers because of the delay.
Although there were more than two hundred Moon Wolves and warriors wearing Moon Wolf combat suits protecting them with the Moon Shift Art, it was inevitable that there would be casualties in the imperial army.
Every time a black beetle jumped into the Moonlight Rainbow, the White Dragon Warrior, Kane, and the others had no choice but to kill it. However, there were still many that escaped and pounced on the ordinary warriors. They viciously bit open their combat suits, and even drilled into their bodies to wreak havoc.
At this time, Kane showed the extraordinariness of the Sun Ripple Art. Only he could force out the black beetles that had drilled into the bodies of the ordinary warriors, and activate the Life Ripple Art that he had been deliberately suppressing to save them.
If it were not for Kane's shocking strength, the death rate of the ordinary warriors would be at least three times higher.
Even so, before Xu Liao returned, more than ten people in the imperial army had been bitten to death by the black beetles. The only consolation was that with the protection of the Moonlight Rainbow and the hard fighting of their comrades, they would not be torn to pieces and devoured like when they encountered the giant rat swarm.
With a shout from Xu Liao, new black beetles joined the battle. With the new black beetles as bait, the attacks of the imperial army weakened.
Half an hour later, the second hive was converted. Not only did another batch of black beetles betray the imperial army, a new batch of black beetles came to support them, and the situation was finally reversed.
After the third and fourth hive were assimilated, the crisis of the black beetles was finally over. The remaining black beetles no longer cared about the will controlling them, and flew away.
Around Xu Liao, there were four silver hives spinning. They circled around him like satellites, following a mysterious trajectory. Xu Liao Xu Hao's movements.
Kane was more familiar with Xu Liao, so he asked boldly, "Did you subdue those black beetles?"
Xu Liao chuckled and said, "I once had a hive combat beast. You also know that this thing was made using the black beetles as a blueprint, so subduing them wasn't too difficult."
Kane and Xu Liao both came from the 21st century, so of course they knew about combat beasts. Although the Longevity Sect's hive combat beasts were not sold to the outside world, it was not like no one knew about them.
Although Kane did not like combat beasts from the east, he knew that the hives of the Longevity Sect were very difficult to deal with. However, he did not expect Xu Liao to be able to subdue the black beetles.
He shrugged and said, "How many hives have you subdued?"
Xu Liao made a posture of listening quietly. After a while, he laughed and said, "Twelve!"
As soon as Xu Liao's voice fell, eight spheres soared into the air and landed beside him. They merged with the original four spheres, turning into twelve miniature satellites that revolved around his body.
Black beetles constantly flew toward Xu Liao. As soon as they got within a certain range, they would suddenly shrink, turning into dust, and drill into the twelve silver spheres.
In just ten minutes, all the black beetles had disappeared, and not a single one could be seen.
In Xu Liao's senses, although there were still a few that had escaped, they were no longer important to him. Xu Liao waved his arm, and the twelve silver spheres slowly gathered in front of him. He made an inviting gesture and said to the Light Lion, "These are combat beasts that I've created at the last minute. One of the same type of combat beast is enough. Numbers won't increase its combat value. You can choose one. After all, this place is too dangerous. This will give you more means of survival."
Although Kane did not like combat beasts that leaned towards evil like the hives, he also knew that this was not the time to be 'mysophobic'. Thus, he thanked Xu Liao and took a silver sphere.
Xu Liao did not give any hives to the others. Although the hives were not particularly powerful combat beasts, ordinary people would not be able to control them.
Xu Liao gently flicked one of the hives that was close to him. Then, he sensed that the mysterious will gradually recede, and the hive once again fell into silence.
Xu Liao still had the Moon Wolf guard the surroundings. The team that was originally about to rest, and after experiencing a life-and-death battle, they were even more tired. Many of the warriors sat down and fell asleep in all sorts of messy positions.
Even the female White Dragon Warriors were exhausted. One by one, they huddled together and fell into a deep sleep. Only Kane was in a better state. He looked at the warriors who had even forgotten to be vigilant and could not help but laugh bitterly. However, he did not say anything.
Based on the intensity of the two consecutive battles, a normal army would have collapsed long ago. Any one of them would have been enough to wipe out the entire army. The fact that these soldiers were still alive was already a great victory. It was too much to hope that they would continue to follow the rules of the army.
Xu Liao also sat down. Although he was not that tired, the battle this time had been very thrilling. If it was not for the will that had urged the black beetles to attack, and if it had been any other monster, he was not sure that he would have been able to survive.
Although the Moon Wolf's Calamity was known as a disaster, there had to be enough of them. A pack of only three hundred Moon Wolves was not enough to become a Moon Wolf's Calamity.
Xu Liao also did not know what the mysterious will would attack next. If it was not for his good luck in subduing a pack of Moon Wolves, he might not have survived the attack of the giant rats. If it was not for his previous experience in controlling the black beetles, he might not have been able to survive this wave of attack.
Xu Liao let out a breath and thought to himself, 'This is a competition of who has the strongest foundation. If I had not stepped into the Daemon General Realm and had countless tricks up my sleeves, I would not have been able to last long here. If the situation gets worse, I might not be able to protect this team. '
