"Since the entrance is a dry well, we can collapse it after we enter and block the exit." Someone suggested.
"It's too dangerous. If we don't do it well, we'll all be buried inside." Someone was worried.
"Should we lure them away?"
"There's a way, but these Monster Beasts are guarding the hive. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to lure them away. Even if we can lure some of them away, we won't be able to lure all of them away."
"We have to give it a try."
"Who's going to do it?"
The group of people looked at each other, but no one spoke. It wasn't that it was dangerous to be in charge of luring the Monster Beasts away. Although there were many Monster Beasts here, there were more of them than in Two World City. Everyone had fought their way out of Two World City, so they naturally wouldn't be afraid of being chased by the Monster Beasts here.
However, if they were responsible for luring the Monster Beasts away, they wouldn't be able to participate in the destruction of the hive.
For the cultivators of the Nine States, this was a great opportunity to gain merit. If they could really destroy the hive here and solve the crisis of the entire Realm of Beasts, they would definitely gain a lot of merit points.
After a moment, the group of people looked at Lu Ye. Their meaning was obvious.
Lu Ye naturally knew what they were thinking. He looked at the Great Elder and said, "Great Elder, you guys are responsible for luring the Monster Beasts away as much as possible!"
The Great Elder said, "Yes, but this old man wants to follow Young Master."
There were six people left on the Thousand Beast Sect's side. Excluding the Great Elder, there were five people left.
Although it was better to lure the Monster Beasts away with more people,
There wasn't much difference between five people and six people.
On top of that, Great Elder was a Cloud River Ninth Order cultivator, so if he could follow Lu Ye,
He could also provide him with a certain degree of protection.
Lu Ye immediately said, "No problem."
The old woman said, "Young Master, be careful."
As she said this, she led the few Thousand Beast Sect cultivators downwards. Soon, there was a violent fluctuation of spirit energy from below.
There was also a rumbling sound.
Everyone looked over and saw a few Thousand Beast Sect cultivators turning into streaks of light, flitting across the sky above the Black Tortoise Sect ruins, constantly attacking.
Soon …
Behind these people were a large group of Demonic Beasts.
These people weren't in a hurry to escape. Instead, they circled above the Black Tortoise Sect a few times before leading the group of Monster Beasts into the distance.
The Monster Beasts gathered at the Black Tortoise Sect, instantly,
The situation wasn't too optimistic.
But it was within expectations.
At this point, it was no longer realistic to divide their forces.
There were still many Demonic Beasts in the hive. If they split up to lure away the Demonic Beasts on the ground, there would only be a few people left in the hive. It would be difficult for them to do anything.
"Fellow Daoist Ye.
You lead the way! "Zhou Hai said.
Lu Ye remained silent.
He turned into a stream of light and plunged downwards. Everyone followed closely behind.
The fluctuation of spiritual power quickly attracted the attention of the monster beasts.
A large number of bird-type demonic beasts took the initiative to welcome them.
The people behind Lu Ye acted in unison. Their spells and weapons wrapped in the aura of death and blasted into the herd of beasts.
He blasted a path through the horde of beasts.
As he descended, a dried well appeared before his eyes.
Lu Ye's figure was the first to enter.
Then came the Great Elder, who had been protecting him all this while.
Then it was Little Cat Shen and Lan Ziyi, followed by Xia Qianqian and the helpers she had gathered.
The two body cultivators were at the very back.
As they descended, the two body cultivators at the rear of the formation continuously attacked.
They bombarded the walls of the well.
When everyone landed on the ground.
What followed was a large number of falling rocks.
The dried well wasn't too deep, only about ten meters deep. The moment Lu Ye landed at the bottom of the well, Hu Po jumped down from his shoulder and rushed to the side. Lu Ye hurriedly followed.
Yi Yi had previously explored the passage leading underground, and she had secretly guided them.
Hu Po wouldn't get lost.
The rumbling sounds behind them didn't stop. The walls of the well had completely collapsed.
The entrance that everyone had come in had been blocked, so they no longer had to worry about being chased.
However, their actions seemed to have alarmed the Monster Beasts underground. The roars of the Monster Beasts kept coming from all directions.
They echoed the roars of the beasts on the ground.
There wasn't only one underground passage, but it was winding and branching from time to time.
If it weren't for Yi Yi's secret guidance, even if everyone entered this place, it would have taken a lot of effort to find the insect nest.
From time to time, Monster Beasts would pounce out from the forks. Their scarlet eyes were particularly conspicuous in the darkness.
Lu Ye had the Great Elder guarding him. With his Cloud River Ninth Order cultivation, few Monster Beasts could get within ten meters of Lu Ye. Anyone who dared to stick their head out would be killed by the Great Elder with a single punch.
To be honest, with such a loyal Cloud River Ninth Order cultivator guarding him, Lu Ye felt a sense of security.
Their journey down was extremely smooth.
The Great Elder wasn't the only Cloud River Ninth Order cultivator in the group. There were also Xia Qian Qian, Pang Dahai, and Zhou Hai. Zhou Hai, in particular, was a sword cultivator. His Sword Controlling Technique was extremely good. Often, with just a flash of his sword, a Monster Beast would be killed. Even with Lu Ye's eyesight and cultivation, he couldn't see how Zhou Hai attacked.
After all, the difference in cultivation was too great, especially when sword cultivators were famous for their killing techniques.
After descending a thousand meters, the path ahead suddenly opened up and a huge chamber appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
They had arrived at the insect nest!
It was similar to the insect nest that Lu Ye had seen in the Spirit Stream Battlefield. This place should be an underground cave. At this moment, it was completely surrounded by a layer of meat. There were many bulging meat sacs on this meat wall. These meat sacs squirmed from time to time, as if there were living creatures hiding inside, ready to burst out at any time.
Stepping on this meat wall, everyone felt as if they were standing in the stomach of a living creature. The air was filled with a pungent smell.
In the darkness, pairs of scarlet eyes opened, densely packed together, like fireflies.
Inside this insect nest, a large number of Monster Beasts had gathered to guard it.
After a brief stalemate, the roars of the beasts suddenly rang out. Accompanied by the roars, the Monster Beasts guarding this place launched an attack on Lu Ye and the other uninvited guests.
The overwhelming sword light illuminated the entire insect nest, as well as the light of violent spells and Imperial Equipment.
Although this was the first time they had worked together, the tacit understanding between Cloud River Realm cultivators was not something that Spirit Stream Realm cultivators could compare to. The two Body Cultivators immediately stood in front of the group, their blood boiling. They each summoned a Spirit Artifact shield to resist the frenzied attacks of the Monster Beasts.
The Weapon Cultivators were at the back, while the Magic Cultivators were even further back. In an instant, a fierce battle broke out.
One Monster Beast after another was beheaded, and the smell of blood began to fill the air. The frenzied attacks of the Monster Beasts caused the Spirit Artifact shields of the two Body Cultivators to flicker wildly, and their line of defense was broken.
After the most difficult early stage, as the number of Monster Beasts decreased, the pressure on the group gradually decreased, until they completely stabilized their formation.
Although there were people in the group who were injured from time to time, overall, their lives were not in danger.
Hope was right in front of them, and everyone fought even harder.
After half an hour, all the Monster Beasts in the insect nest had been killed. The place where the group stood was littered with Monster Beast corpses, piled up into mountains.
"Something's wrong!" Xia Qian Qian suddenly said.
"I also feel that something's wrong!" Pang Dahai panted heavily, tossing a Source Spirit Pill into his mouth as he spoke.
Although Zhou Hai did not say a word, the sword lights floating beside him that had not been extinguished showed that he was constantly on guard.
Even the Great Elder stayed by Lu Ye's side, not leaving his side at all, his face tense.
The few Cloud River Realm Ninth Order cultivators also noticed the abnormality.
Everything was going too smoothly.
Since the group went underground, killed their way into the insect nest, and killed all the Monster Beasts here, there had been some twists and turns, but overall, everything had gone too smoothly.
The excessive smoothness made them feel uneasy, as if there was something that they hadn't noticed.
"The escape route is cut off!" Lu Ye said.
Everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to find that the entrance they had come from had disappeared, completely covered by the omnipresent meat wall.
No one had noticed when the escape route had been cut off. Everyone had been so focused on killing the enemies that they had not noticed the entrance behind them.
At this moment, the insect nest could be said to be completely sealed off.
A sword beam flashed beside Zhou Hai as a flying sword slashed towards the entrance. However, this sharp sword beam only managed to break through the surface of the meat wall, leaving a gap. It did not manage to completely cut through it. When the sword beam faded away, the meat wall rapidly squirmed and recovered in the blink of an eye.
Everyone's expression turned solemn when they saw this. This insect nest was different from all the other insect nests they had seen before.
The insect race they had encountered in the Realm of Ten Thousand Beasts this time was something they had never seen before.
If the meat wall of this insect nest had such strong regenerative and defensive power, how could they destroy it?
"I have another question." Pang Dahai walked to a spot and stepped on a meat sack. "If the Zergs in this world's Zerg Tide are as small as cicadas, then what's in this meat sack?"
In other insectoid nests, the flesh sacs were used to incubate large insectoids. However, the insectoid nests in this world did not require such large flesh sacs to incubate insectoids.
Moreover, these meat sacks had been squirming since just now, as if something alive was about to break out of them.
Zhou Hai raised his sword and walked towards the center of the insect nest, "No matter what it is, let's destroy the core of this insect nest first!"
Every insectoid hive had its own core, and the core was located in a huge flesh sac. There was a life core formed by the insectoid hive absorbing all kinds of energy. If this core was destroyed, the insectoid hive would lose its ability to hatch insectoids.
This insect nest naturally had a core, but everyone had been obstructed by the demon beasts earlier and had not been able to get close.
Zhou Hai stepped in front of the meat sack in the center and wiped his sword with his finger. The sword immediately lit up with a dazzling light.
Spiritual energy surged around him, and the sword in his hand turned into a shocking sword light as he slashed towards the core.
Zhou Hai's sword strike, which he had poured all his strength into, did not succeed. This was because at the moment when the longsword was about to fall, a beast claw suddenly reached out from the core flesh sac and grabbed Zhou Hai's sword. The beast claw was as hard as fine iron. When the longsword struck it, there was a clanging sound and sparks flew in all directions.
Zhou Hai's eyes narrowed.
Everyone who was watching this scene was shocked by this turn of events. No one had expected there to be something alive in the meat sack.
