The earthquake became more and more frequent until one day, even the people on White Stone Mountain could feel the shaking. They could hear the dull sound of plates colliding with each other from afar. Flames and smoke rose continuously from afar. On the west side of White Stone Mountain, a large white fog covered half the sky. That was where the lava flowed into the river after the eruption of the volcano. It was as if the end of the world had arrived!
Fortunately, they were still experienced and knew that this was not the end of the world. Although the weather was terrifying, if the humans could survive these ten days, they would have another three hundred years of good days to live!
The first Earth Crawler appeared in the sight of the humans on White Stone Mountain. It was immediately killed by human cultivators, which attracted countless cheers. It was as if victory was right in front of them!
This was a kind of self-consolation and encouragement. Soon, the humans would not be able to cheer anymore.
After the first Earth Crawler appeared, there was a second one, a third one, and then a small group. Countless small groups of human cultivators tried their best to kill the Earth Crawlers. At the beginning, it was easy, but later on, they needed to concentrate their strength. After a day, they could only attack and defend against the Earth Crawlers. When a large number of Earth Crawlers began to gather here, the small groups of human cultivators began to retreat to White Stone Mountain. This represented the official beginning of the Earth Crawler Tide.
However, it had only lasted for a day. There was still a long way to go before the end of the ten days of the earthquake!
The entire White Stone Mountain entered the strictest state of alert! The higher-ups in the central area and the central area also stood at the forefront of the resistance. They were qualified to protect their relatively weak families, but they had to stand up. This was a kind of exchange!
Other than leaving a few mobile forces to block the hole, the remaining cultivators, regardless of their realm, all stood at the foot of White Stone Mountain. The stronger ones stood at the front, while the weaker ones stood at the back. In this sense, their cultivation was not in vain. They knew what they had to do. They knew that as a whole, if White Stone Mountain was breached in any direction, it would be the end of the human race!
Their strength could not be left behind! Humans could still support each other if they gathered together. Once White Stone Mountain was breached, everyone would run away. In front of the sea of Earth Crawlers, there would be no chance at all!
This was also what the Gods had repeatedly asked them to do!
Gathering together, giving each other warmth, and helping each other, with the help of the Gods in the third space above, was the only way to protect the hope of the human race.
None of them were stupid, and they all understood. Therefore, no one dared to shrink back. Only one group of people was forgotten, the 100,000 ordinary mortals outside of Whitestone Mountain!
The huge Whitestone Mountain could, of course, hold a mere hundred thousand people. However, it could only hold people, not people's hearts!
What right did a community that didn't contribute anything have to be sacrificed for them? This wasn't just one person's disdain, but the majority of people's disdain!
Therefore, stopping outside Whitestone Mountain was the only place they could stay. As a protruding part of the human race, it would naturally attract the attacks of the crawlers! The cultivators of Whitestone Mountain could make use of this to achieve some tactical goals. In any case, their deaths were worth it.
However, the crawling insect tide this time was different from the previous three!
When the overwhelming wave of reptiles rolled in, they did not attack immediately. Instead, they gathered at the periphery, as if waiting for something!
The higher-ups of the human race on Whitestone Mountain felt uneasy. If the crawling insect tide was as undisciplined as before, it would be a good thing for the human race. However, if they were organized, had tactics, and had endless numbers …
The thing they were most worried about still happened. Amidst the shrieks of the crawlers, a round ball several hundred feet tall was rolled over by the crawlers. Even if the Nut Man had never heard of or seen such a thing before, it didn't mean that he didn't know what it was!
It was an insect nest!
This thing was laughable in the eyes of the cultivators from outer space. How could a honeycomb several hundred feet in diameter be called a nest? It was nothing in the void. However, considering that this thing only existed on the ground, and considering the Nut Man's strength, this insect nest was somewhat terrifying.
The worst thing was that they had no experience with this!
If there was an insect nest, there would definitely be an insect queen! Then, after this earthquake, would the crawlers still disappear? That was the question! The Gods could only help them in these ten days. If they couldn't deal with the insect nest during this time, would there still be humans in this world when they could invite the Gods again in three hundred years?
Uneasiness spread!
The insect nest stopped a hundred miles away, at the edge of Whitestone Plain. Then, the crawlers began their frenzied attack!
There was no need to think about it anymore. They had to deal with Zerg's attack first!
Strictly speaking, the crawlers weren't much stronger than humans in terms of individual strength. There weren't many powerful crawlers, but their strength lay in the fact that they were boundless and didn't fear death. In their simple minds, there was no concept of death at all!
A human Practitioner could easily kill several crawlers that were as strong as him, but then what? He would be covered by the swarm, piled up, and after the crawlers crawled over him, not even a single bone would be left.
Fortunately, they couldn't fly, otherwise Whitestone Mountain wouldn't even last a day!
The battle reached its climax as soon as it started. The Nut Man had no choice but to summon the Gods at once. Gradually, the number increased from two, three, and finally seven, eight! This included the most respected God of the Hunt.
The Gods appeared in the sky above Whitestone Mountain. They were clearly visible, but their bodies seemed to be encased in a huge air bubble! Some of them swooped down and used all kinds of ice cones, wind blades, water arrows, rolling stones, and wood thorns to form a spell storm. Some used large-scale forbidden spells to kill the crawlers in their path.
This was the consensus of the Gods. Since there were still a few days left, it was obviously not appropriate to keep using forbidden spells. On the contrary, the simplest basic attacks were the most sustainable, because the opponent wouldn't disappear just because you used a forbidden spell. They still had countless companions charging forward. This wasn't a battlefield where one could only use one attack. It was a battle of endurance, willpower, and endurance!
It was precisely because of this reason that it was impossible to wipe out all the crawlers with basic spells. There would always be a small number of strong, powerful, or lucky ones that would continue to charge through the storm. They would be dealt with by the Nut Man. This was the cooperation between humans. It was too wasteful to let the Gods kill the crawlers individually. The Gods' spells were more suitable for dealing with enemies in a large area.
The crawlers' attacks were scattered in several directions around Whitestone Mountain. Each God was responsible for a part of the mountain, barely maintaining a balance!
There were still more than twenty Gods that could be summoned, but considering the duration of time, it was obviously unwise to summon all of them now. If they couldn't eliminate the crawlers, how could they survive the last period of the earthquake?
The battle was extremely fierce from the beginning. From this point alone, the humans' performance wasn't bad!
