"Does that insect race have sentience?" Lu Ye asked while observing the battlefield.
At this time, there were still Divine Senses constantly attacking his Divine Sea, but under the suppression of the Soul Suppressing Tower, their efforts were futile.
"That's the Insect Queen!" A look of discomfort flashed across Thought Moon Immortal's face. Although the Insect Queen's spiritual attack was aimed at Lu Ye, she was too close to Lu Ye, so it was inevitable that she would be affected. "We can end this battle if we take care of it, but its regenerative abilities are too terrifying. Normal injuries are useless against it."
After such a long battle, how could the Ninth Order Masters not cause any damage to the Insect Queen? However, no matter how serious the injuries were, the Insect Queen could recover in a very short time, so at this moment, no one knew how to win and could only drag things out.
They could also see that the root of the Insect Queen's rapid recovery was its enormous and pure vitality. Could it be that as long as the opponent's vitality was consumed to a certain extent, the Insect Queen would lose its ability to recover?
This idea was worth verifying, so even if the situation was extremely bad, the Ninth Order Masters still persevered and fought with the Insect Queen.
At their level of cultivation, they had encountered countless crises in their lives, so it was impossible for them to lose their fighting spirit because of a little setback.
The situation was still uncertain, and life and death were still undetermined, so no one dared to say that they would definitely lose.
Speaking of which, their encounter this time was completely unexpected. Back then, they had followed the passage all the way here, and everything had been fine. They had not encountered a single insectoid along the way, but after arriving here, the situation had become strange.
In this huge space, only the Insect Queen was waiting for them.
Then, a battle broke out. The Insect Queen seemed to be all alone, but in fact, it could hatch a large number of guards at any time. Coupled with its extremely powerful Spiritual Energy, it caused the most elite team in the Nine Regions to suffer a loss in a single exchange.
Almost everyone was dizzy from the impact of its Spiritual Energy, and it was at that time that casualties appeared. Although they were all Ninth Order Masters, there was a certain gap in strength between them. Some people with stronger Souls could resist the Insect Queen's Soul attack, while others with weaker Souls could not.
Fortunately, there were only a few casualties, and the remaining Ninth-Order masters all had extremely solid foundations, so after a hasty counterattack, a fierce battle began.
"Insect Queen …" Lu Ye muttered thoughtfully. This was the first time he had heard of such a title. Throughout his journey, he had participated in several operations to remove insect nests, but none of those nests had ever contained an Insect Queen.
Perhaps it was because the hive was not big enough?
This insectoid hive was located at the center of the insectoid race's secret realm. It was also the largest insectoid hive, which was why the insectoid queen was here.
Of course, whether it was the Insect Queen that created the hive or the hive that gave birth to the Insect Queen, there was no way to tell. It was like the question of whether the chicken laid the egg or the egg laid the chicken. There was no conclusion.
"There are no life nuclei here?" Lu Ye asked.
The Thought Moon Immortal shook her head. "No, all of the vitality is concentrated in the Insect Queen's body."
Lu Ye had already noticed this, because the vitality of the Insect Queen was truly astonishing. At this moment, there were more than a dozen Ninth-Order masters surrounding the Insect Queen and fighting it. Occasionally, their attacks would break through its defences and leave light or heavy injuries on its body, but no matter how serious the injuries were, they would recover in the blink of an eye under the effect of the Insect Queen's immense vitality.
The speed of recovery was even faster than the growth of the meat walls.
"We also thought of retreating temporarily to avoid the brunt of the attack, but this place has been completely sealed off. There is no way to escape."
The thick meat walls surrounded the entire space, and the speed of destruction could not keep up with the growth of the meat walls, so it was impossible to open up a path. It could be said that the moment the Ninth-Order masters entered this place, there was no way out.
The entrance where Lu Ye had entered had long been filled by the meat walls. "You shouldn't have come in," The Thought Moon Immortal sighed.
With so many Ninth-Order masters gathered here, there was nothing they could do about the Insect Queen. Lu Ye had barged in alone, so it was really a disaster.
Fortunately, Lu Ye was strong enough, so even if his cultivation was lower, he would not become a burden. This was also why Lu Ye dared to barge in.
At this moment, he was considering a problem.
Since the Insect Queen could quickly hatch so many powerful Insect Race guards, why did it lead him to this battlefield? It could have easily dispatched the Insect Race guards to deal with him in the passage.
If that was the case, he might not be able to stop it alone.
The Insect Queen did not choose to do so, not because it did not want to, but because it could not …
In other words, although these Insect Race guards that could quickly hatch were powerful, there was a huge drawback to them. It was very likely that they could not easily leave this place. It was precisely because of the special environment here that the Insect Race guards were able to hatch with such powerful combat power, so the Insect Queen could only lead him in.
Just like how it had allowed the Ninth-Order masters to enter this place, this was its home field, and it could display its full strength. As Lu Ye and Nian Yue Xian ran together, the number of Insect Race guards chasing after them increased. There were also newly hatched Insect Race guards joining the chase on both sides, and there were even more that appeared in front of them to intercept them.
Even though Lu Ye and Nian Yue Xian were both strong, they were still in a dangerous situation, and the scene was very lively.
It was not only the Insect Race guards that were gathering towards him, but also the Ninth-Order cultivators.
After such a long battle, the cultivators also discovered a problem, and that was that the number of Insect Race guards that the Insect Queen could hatch was limited.
At the very most, there were no more than eight hundred.
Before Lu Ye came in, each of them had to deal with several Insect Race guards at the same time. While they were killing, new Insect Race guards would quickly hatch, and there was no end to it.
So, although they could protect themselves, it was very difficult for them to help others.
The situation had been like this for a long time.
But since Lu Ye came in, the stalemate had changed, and the number of Insect Race guards that the Ninth-Order cultivators had to face had decreased …
This was because most of the newly hatched Insect Race guards had joined in the pursuit of Lu Ye.
All of them had cultivated for many years, so they were naturally aware of this change.
Long Bo shouted, "Boy, what did you do before? Why is the Insect Queen taking care of you like this?"
This was also what made the others curious.
The Insect Queen was so focused on Lu Ye, as if she wanted to kill him as soon as possible. This undoubtedly showed that Lu Ye was a huge threat to her, otherwise, the Insect Queen would not have responded in such a way.
This was very inconceivable. One had to know that the Insect Queen did not even care about Ninth-Order cultivators, treating them all the same, so why would a Fourth-Order be treated so differently?
But this seemed to be a matter of course; after all, Lu Yi Ye was a person who had been blessed by the Heavens and could do things that ordinary people could not.
Everyone quickly realized one thing. If they wanted to break this stalemate, they might have to rely on Lu Ye. This was also the reason why so many Ninth-Order cultivators had gathered around him.
"Picking the soft persimmon to pinch?" Lu Ye replied casually.
Long Bo curled his lips, obviously not believing it, but this was not the time to explore Lu Ye's secrets. He shouted, "No matter what methods you have, hurry up and use them. If you're late, everyone will die!"
Lu Ye no longer hesitated and threw himself down, shouting, "I ask all the Seniors to protect me!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The sound of air being torn apart rang out as the streaks of light swiftly changed directions, surrounding Lu Ye like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon as they descended towards the ground.
Stepping on the elastic meat wall, Lu Ye immediately urged the power of his Talent Tree and sent invisible roots into the meat wall, causing his heart to skip a beat.
The Insect Queen could control the meat wall, and in the corridor before, Lu Ye had no way to easily touch it, so if the Insect Queen controlled the meat wall to avoid him now, he would be helpless.
At that time, Lu Ye would have no choice but to lead this group of Ninth-Order cultivators back to the passage they had come from.
However, to Lu Ye's delight, as he exerted the power of his Talent Tree, the meat wall under his feet showed no signs of disappearing. Instead, the Talent Tree's devouring ability was rapidly absorbing a huge amount of pure vitality.
Lu Ye didn't know why the Insect Queen didn't control the meat wall to avoid him, but there had to be a reason, perhaps it was related to the Insect Race guards.
If his previous guess was correct, these Insect Race guards, who could rapidly hatch, needed the special environment of this place to maintain their combat strength, so they couldn't leave.
This place was the core of the entire Insect Race hive and was completely surrounded by the meat wall. If a hole appeared in the meat wall, it would inevitably break something and affect the strength of the Insect Race guards.
Once the Insect Race guards lost their function, the Insect Queen would only die faster. The attacks of more than two hundred Ninth-Order cultivators were no joke, and no matter how abnormal its restorative ability was, it would eventually run out of vitality.
So, even if it knew that Lu Ye had the ability to devour its vitality, the Insect Queen didn't control the meat wall to avoid Lu Ye's method.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, the Insect Queen's sentience wasn't low.
Or perhaps it was because the meat wall here was easy for even the Insect Queen to control. Lu Ye didn't bother to investigate the reason, and the situation was developing in his favour.
Following his actions, the Insect Queen suddenly let out a sharp and ear-piercing howl, and on both sides of its body, more than a dozen long and thin claws waved about madly.
This howl obviously contained an extremely large amount of pure Spiritual Energy, and it swept out in all directions. In an instant, many cultivators around Lu Ye let out muffled groans, and some of their faces turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lu Ye's Divine Sea was even more turbulent.
Around the Insect Queen, there were more than a dozen people fighting it, constantly causing damage and consuming its vitality. At this moment, they were also caught off guard and were forced to temporarily retreat.
