Ever since the cultivators from two different domains broke into the core of the insectoid nest, the insectoids had never stopped hissing. As Lu Ye brandished his long saber, an insectoid guard was killed almost every few breaths.
In Yu Yaorao's view, his actions were in line with the world's definition of a weapon cultivator, which was to not care about anything in a battle and just be reckless.
But in fact, Lu Ye's fighting style was not so much reckless as it was extremely aggressive. This was a habit he had developed since he was weak.
When facing an enemy, especially in the case of similar cultivation, the first thing to do was to suppress the opponent with momentum. If it was difficult to suppress the opponent with momentum, how could one kill?
What's more, although his actions seemed reckless, in fact, he would never let himself be in danger.
There were many guards in the core of this insectoid nest, which was probably related to the experience of the past generations. It should be known that he and Yu Yaorao were not the only ones who had come to the Fairy Tree World.
Every hundred years, the avatar of the Reincarnation Tree would enter a cycle of reincarnation. Geniuses from various realms would gather here. Many times, geniuses from different realms would be sent to different tree realms by the Reincarnation Tree to participate in such tests.
Almost every time, the Fairy Tree World would not fail, because the insectoids had never stopped plotting against the Fairy Race!
In other words, even if Lu Ye and Yu Yaorao helped the fairies solve the problem of the tree world, it would not be long before a new batch of insectoids came back and built a new insectoid nest here to continue their invasion of the Fairy Tree World.
The fairies had long been accustomed to such a life. For them, as long as they hid well in their own territory, the insectoids without much intelligence would never be able to find them, let alone capture them.
As for what would happen to the other places in the Fairy Tree World, they did not care at all.
After all, the insectoid nests here had been destroyed countless times in history …
In order to deal with the destruction once a hundred years, the new insectoid nest would naturally hatch more insectoid guards!
In theory, even if two monsters from different domains joined forces, it would still take a lot of effort to solve the insectoid nest here. This was also the standard of a test.
However, the Reincarnation Tree had clearly seriously underestimated Lu Ye's strength. Even if it was a Starry Sky treasure that had existed for countless years and had seen all kinds of monstrous characters, it was still not a human in the end. It lacked a clear understanding of the limits and eruptions of the human race.
With such an insect nest, not to mention Yu Yaorao's cooperation, even if Lu Ye came by himself, he would be able to flatten it.
When killing enemies, he would never allow himself to be surrounded by insectoid guards. Even though he had the ability to do things on his own, he would not end well if he was surrounded by insectoid guards.
His strategy was to quickly kill a guard with two or three slashes, and then quickly move to another location.
If he did not have the fairy's blessing, he would not have been able to cut the Gordian knot so quickly just by relying on the Sharpness Spiritual Tattoo. If he wanted to kill such an insectoid guard, he would have to target its weak points or slash a few more times.
In such an intense battle, even if an enemy slashed one more time, it would change the situation.
The green Zhu Yan gave him the ability to quickly finish off the enemy.
He could not help but wonder if Huang Tongtong and Lu Yingying were really unlucky to be chosen, or did Golden Sparkly do it on purpose?
One Zhu Yan leaned towards the physical body, while the other leaned towards the weapon. It was obviously tailor-made for him and Yu Yaorao.
However, it had to be said that although the fairy was timid, she was still very conscientious. Lu Yingying's screams never stopped, but she was always able to add a new Zhu Yan to Lu Ye's Mountain Pan Dao at the most appropriate time.
The number of insectoid guards slowly decreased, and the situation began to become clear.
Yu Yaorao sighed with emotion. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied that the weapon cultivator did not cooperate with her, but overall, the result was not bad. Moreover, the weapon cultivator accounted for the majority of the kills. This was something that could not be helped. She was a magic cultivator, so it was not so straightforward to kill the enemy, especially when the cultivation level of both sides was about the same.
At this point in the battle, there was basically no suspense. The remaining insectoid guards were less than 30% of the initial number. With the strength of the two of them, it would not take long to kill them all.
This was the advantage of cooperating with a weapon cultivator. They could often simplify complicated things. Although they were a bit reckless when doing things, they were relatively efficient.
That being said, if Yu Yaorao had the chance to choose, she would still not be willing to cooperate with Lu Ye. There were too many uncontrollable aspects.
Although the matter of a magic cultivator was more troublesome, it was better to be safe.
Since the two of them broke into the core of the insectoid nest, it had been less than an hour. When the last insectoid guard was killed, the intense fluctuations of spiritual power suddenly calmed down.
At the same time, Lu Yingying's screams also calmed down.
The little fairy had been grabbing Lu Ye's hair and collar. At this moment, she looked as if she was drunk. She was dizzy, swaying, and almost fell off Lu Ye's shoulder.
Her two eyes were watery, and there were clear tear stains at the corners of her eyes. She was holding her mouth …
This battle that had lasted less than an hour was definitely the most exciting thing she had experienced in her life. She was afraid that she would have nightmares for dozens of years.
Yu Yaorao flew down from midair. She was different from Lu Ye who was bursting with Qi and Blood and holding her blade. She had a calm expression on her face. The battle just now didn't affect her too much, except for the consumption of her Spiritual Power.
Huang Tongtong, who was with her, also did not suffer any torture. Her expression was normal. She looked at Lu Yingying, who seemed to be scared out of her wits, and gave her a sympathetic look.
She was only glad that she was assigned to the female cultivator's side. If she was assigned to the male cultivator's side, then the one who would be unlucky would be her!
At the center of the insectoid nest, there was a huge meatball. As usual, it stored a huge amount of vitality, and even condensed vitality nuclei.
This was also the source of energy for the insectoids to hatch new members.
As long as this meatball was destroyed, and the place was burned clean, the insectoid nest could be considered to be uprooted.
Lu Ye looked up at Yu Yaorao, and Yu Yaorao nodded slightly.
Lu Ye raised his blade and chopped down. As if cutting a water bag, the meatball wall broke, but the vitality that should have flowed out did not leave any trace. Instead, it collapsed toward the center, and there was no trace of vitality nuclei.
This made Lu Ye and Yu Yaorao somewhat puzzled.
Both of them had dealt with the insectoids before, and they had also gone deep into many insectoid nests. What they saw in front of them seemed to be somewhat different from what they had experienced before.
In the blink of an eye, a rotating vortex appeared in front of them, and a strange aura vaguely came from the opposite side.
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. "A door?"
Yu Yaorao, however, reacted. "It should be the door to the insectoid tree world!"
Lu Ye pondered for a moment, and roughly understood what was going on.
The Reincarnation Tree had many tree worlds. Every race that came to seek refuge with it would be arranged into a tree world. Logically speaking, the Fairy Tree World only had the fairy race.
However, the reason why the insectoids of the insectoid tree world could invade was because they had used some method to open up two tree worlds.
This was the reason why the insectoid disaster in the Fairy Tree World continued. As long as this passage to the insectoid tree world still existed, the problem could not be solved fundamentally. This time, they could be considered to have uprooted the insectoid nest, but after they left, there would be other insectoids coming from the opposite side to build a new insectoid nest.
Lu Ye did not understand how to open up a passage between the tree worlds, but he was puzzled about one thing. "Insectoids without intelligence can also do this to this extent?"
Yu Yaorao said, "Low-level insectoids naturally don't have this ability, but the insectoid race's characteristic is to plunder and invade. Among the insectoids, there are also existences with extremely high intelligence, just like the difference between demon beasts and demon beasts. Ordinary demon beasts do not have high intelligence, but once they open up and become demon beasts, they are no different from humans."
Lu Ye could not help but think of the insectoid queen in the Nine Regions' insectoid race's big secret realm. That guy definitely had intelligence, but when the cultivators of the Nine Regions besieged it, it never showed it, only when it was about to die did it shout out some inexplicable words.
Now it seemed that the insectoids he came into contact with were indeed some low-level existences, which had nothing to do with the level of strength, because their intelligence was not high. However, among the insectoids, there were some that had opened up their intelligence, and that was the real insectoid race.
The passage in front of him must be related to the real insectoid race.
If they wanted to plunder the fairies, they naturally had to find a way to open up the passage between the two tree worlds. It could even be said that the insectoid race's plundering of rare species was not only limited to the Fairy Tree World, perhaps there were more tree worlds that had been invaded!
Looking at the revolving portal passage, Lu Ye's expression was inexplicable.
Yu Yaorao was slightly surprised. "Junior Brother Lu, you can't be thinking of …"
Lu Ye looked up at her and did not hide his thoughts. "Senior Sister Yu, what do you think?"
Yu Yaorao said, "Our test is only the Fairy Tree World, and we have already completed more than half of it. All that's left is to clean up the scattered insectoids in the Fairy Tree World, and the test will be considered complete."
She did not say much, but her meaning was already clear.
Lu Ye nodded slightly. "That makes sense!"
There was a high probability that the other side was the insectoid tree world, and there were bound to be more insectoids inside. Rashly rushing in like this was obviously not a wise move, and it was very likely that they would fall into a sea of insectoids.
This was also where Yu Yaorao's concern lay. A test was a test, and under the premise that it was within her ability, she was willing to accept such a test, but if she wanted to take the risk, she would have to think about it carefully.
When the two of them were talking, the two fairies did not express much. Lu Yingying had yet to come back to her senses, while Huang Tongtong was indifferent, as if she had long been accustomed to the monsters who came to help making such a choice.
What was certain was that Lu Ye and Yu Yaorao were not the only ones who had faced this choice. There must have been many other monstrous geniuses from various domains who had stood here and faced the same choice. However, since the Fairy Tree World had been constantly being invaded by the Insect Race, it went without saying what their choice was.
