For example, some insectoids that looked like spiders could spit out spider silk which was extremely sticky. Once a cultivator came into contact with it, it would be very hard to get rid of it. Some porcupine-like insectoids could shoot out sharp spikes from their backs which were extremely powerful.
To a certain extent, the Insect Clan and the Demon Beasts had some similarities. Both of them had many surprising similarities, but all of the Insect Clan had one obvious characteristic, which was that their bodies were covered with a kind of solid shell. This was something that most Demon Beasts did not have.
Therefore, even though the insectoids had low intelligence, they could still pose a threat to cultivators if they were not careful.
Under the attacks of the cultivator army and the insectoids, the insectoids suffered heavy casualties. Compared to the cultivator army's various attacking methods, the insectoids' methods were much weaker. How could they gain any advantage in such an attack? After a round of attacks, countless insectoids were killed. Other than a few True Lake Stage cultivators who were not careful enough and were injured, the rest were unharmed.
As if they realized that if this continued, they would be completely wiped out. The insectoids guarding the periphery of the insectoid nest could no longer hold back and charged forward against the cultivators' attacks.
Most of the insectoids were killed along the way. The few that managed to charge to the front could not do much. The cultivators at the front of the army were not to be trifled with. From the left, middle, and right, 20 cultivators of the Divine Sea Stage attacked together. Using all sorts of methods, the insectoid corpses piled up into mountains.
The Thought Moon Immortal's flying sword whizzed back and forth. At times, it would turn into a sword dragon. At other times, it would condense into a slash. Even those insectoids at the level of giant insectoids could not withstand her flying swords.
The three armies continued to advance, neither too fast nor too slow, steadily clearing out the Insect Race in sight. This battle only lasted for less than an hour before it came to an end.
Naturally, the cultivators had achieved a complete victory.
As far as the eye could see, there were insectoid corpses everywhere. Even the insectoid nest on the ground had become tattered.
Although the insectoids on the ground had been cleared out, under the detection of spiritual will,
They could still clearly sense that there were many insectoids hidden deep underground.
These insectoids were obviously hiding inside the insectoid nest.
An insectoid nest was not just the part on the surface. That was only a small part of the nest. The true magnificence of the insectoid nest was the part hidden underground. The part that could not be seen was the main body of the insectoid nest.
During the battle just now, many of the insectoids had retreated into their hives and disappeared without a trace. Right now, it was clear that they were hiding inside.
Now that the visible enemies had been dealt with, they naturally had to deal with the invisible ones as well. Only then would they be able to do their best.
Many Divine Sea Realm cultivators gathered around the Thought Moon Immortal. She made some simple arrangements and went deep into the worm's nest. Twenty Spiritual Ocean Stage cultivators rushed in one after another, followed by groups of True Lake Stage cultivators.
As soon as he entered the nest, a dark and cold aura assaulted his senses. There was also an extremely unpleasant smell.
Lu Ye had experience entering the depths of an insectoid nest before. Whether it was the Spirit Stream Battlefield or the Realm of Beasts, they were both considered to have entered the depths of an insectoid nest. However, the insectoid nests they had encountered on those two occasions were on a completely different level compared to this one.
Using his Divine Telekinesis, he could sense that the tunnels inside the hive extended in all directions and had many forks. Many insectoids were hiding in these forks, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Even if it was the spiritual will of the Spirit Sea Realm
There was no way to clearly explore the path underground. Coupled with the limitations of the terrain, there was only one way to exterminate the Zergs underground.
Let's split up.
As the paths diverged, in less than half a cup of tea's time, Lu Ye was all alone.
As he moved forward, he searched for and killed insectoids. Lu Ye had no idea how deep he had gone.
However, with his Divine Sense, he could sense the auras of human cultivators nearby. From time to time, battles would break out and spiritual energy would surge.
A carpet search like this would undoubtedly consume a lot of time, but in order to ensure that not too many fish escaped the net, this was the only way. At the very least, they had to destroy the insectoid nest, or it would continue to hatch new insectoids.
Half an hour later, while Lu Ye was still searching, a Divine Sense suddenly appeared from a certain direction.
Someone found the core of the hive.
Lu Ye immediately changed his direction and rushed towards the source of the Divine Sense, passing through countless forks along the way.
During the journey, violent spiritual energy fluctuations came from that direction. Clearly, the Divine Sea Realm cultivators were fighting with the insectoids. By the time Lu Ye finally arrived, the battle was already about to end.
This was a huge chamber. The walls and ground were covered with fleshy walls. Entering this place was like entering the stomach of some creature. On the fleshy walls, there were sarcoma-like things of various sizes. Inside those sarcomas were incubating insectoids.
The core of the insectoid hive was guarded by insectoid guards all year round. These guards were usually the strongest existences in the entire insectoid swarm, and every single one of them was at the level of a large insectoid. They were born to guard the core, and they would not leave even if they died.
There seemed to be a lot of them, but with the cooperation of many Divine Sea Realm cultivators, they were still killed until rivers of blood flowed.
Thought Moon Immortal had arrived long ago. Her flying sword swept back and forth, sweeping everything in its path. Lu Ye hurriedly joined the battle.
In a short while, all the insectoid guards were killed. Among the Divine Sea Realm cultivators who rushed here, several were injured. Fortunately, their injuries were not serious.
The main reason was that this kind of environment was a bit cramped for Divine Sea Realm cultivators, making it difficult for them to display their skills.
At the center of the chamber stood a huge sarcomas. This was the core of the entire hive. There were life nuclei inside, which were also the energy source for the insectoids' incubation.
Thought Moon Immortal stepped forward and cut open the sarcomas, taking out all the life nuclei. This could be considered as cutting off the energy source of the hive. Even if they left it alone, it would not be able to incubate any more insectoids.
Of course, it would be best to destroy the entire chamber. Only then would it be considered as cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots.
This task fell on Lu Ye and another Divine Sea Realm cultivator. Both of them had Fire Attribute spiritual energy, so they were the most suitable for this kind of job. After a while, when everyone left the chamber, Lu Ye and the cultivator used their own methods. Raging flames burned, and a pungent smell quickly spread. Thought Moon Immortal's Divine Sense fluctuated as she sent out a message. All the cultivators still underground retreated along the original path. Then, they regrouped and continued to advance.
The advance of the Nine States' cultivator army did not encounter too many twists and turns. The Ninth Order Divine Sea Realm cultivators worked together to deal with the giant insects they encountered in advance. The insectoid hives they encountered were also uprooted.
The trend of the war was that the Human Race was showing a crushing advantage. This was undoubtedly what everyone wanted, and it was also reasonable.
With the massive size of the Nine States' cultivators, no less than eighty percent of their elites had rushed into the Insect Race's Great Mystic Realm. If they could not easily deal with the problem, it would be troublesome.
The speed of their advance was getting faster and faster.
The main reason was that as they advanced, the army line surrounding the entire Insect Race's Great Mystic Realm became shorter and shorter, and the cultivators' strength became more and more concentrated. With more people, killing the enemy naturally became more convenient. Half a month later, since the start of the third stage of the counterattack on the Insect Race's Great Mystic Realm, teams of varying numbers had arrived at the center of the Insect Race's Great Mystic Realm.
At this point, everyone stopped.
More teams gathered and stopped at the same time.
Another day later, the Nine States' army had formed an encirclement around the center of the Insect Race's Great Mystic Realm. At this point, the nine cultivator armies had officially joined forces.
This also meant that they had carried out a carpet cleansing of the entire Insect Race's Great Mystic Realm. In the past half a month, the number of insects killed was uncountable. Even dozens of giant insects were killed.
Over a hundred insectoid nests were uprooted.
At this point in the war, victory was in sight, but it was not over yet. That was because there was still a giant insectoid hive standing at the center of the Insect Race's Great Mystic Realm. It was much larger than the insectoid hives everyone had seen along the way. If the insectoid hives they had seen before were thatched huts, then this insectoid hive was a magnificent palace. There was no comparison between the two.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that an insectoid hive could give off a magnificent feeling.
But that was the case.
Although the size of the insectoid hive did not mean that the Insect Race was strong, everyone realized that there were probably many giant insectoids hidden under this hive. This was the last checkpoint in their counterattack on the Insect Race's Great Mystic Realm. As long as they removed this insectoid hive, it would mean a complete victory for the Nine States' army. Since they had come this far, they naturally had to do it perfectly. The area outside the insectoid hive was empty, and not a single insect could be seen. The leaders of the Nine Great Mystic Realms had gathered to discuss their next countermeasures. They needed to consider how to remove this insectoid hive more effectively and how to reduce their casualties as much as possible.
On the Force Prefecture's front line, Lu Ye and Team D9 gathered together. They looked at the giant insectoid hive together and were amazed.
Li Baxian said, "With such a big insectoid hive, there should be a lot of insects inside."
"Who knows? We'll only be able to see it if we kill our way in." Lu Ye shook his head. It was strange. When he encountered the insectoid hives earlier, he could more or less sense some hidden auras of the Insect Race with his spiritual will.
However, in front of this last insectoid hive, his spiritual will sensed that it was empty. There were no traces of living beings, as if there were no insects underground.
Of course, it could also be that the Insect Race was hiding too deeply.
'With this insectoid hive removed, this counterattack can be considered a perfect end. What's your plan next, Junior Brother?'
"Work hard on cultivation," Lu Ye replied casually. However, he had a vague feeling that the day he returned to the Blood Refinement Realm was not too far away. Although there were no clear signs and there was no call from heaven, it was a kind of intuition.
Therefore, he still had a lot to do. He had to think carefully about whether he should use the tokens given by the old seniors to rope in more experts. However, before that, he had to figure out one thing. How many people could he bring back to the Blood Refinement Realm this time?
