Qi Xiaomei and the others finally caught up to the hive, but this was also the beginning of a large number of casualties!
When humans saw hope, this race would never lack courage!
Lou Xiaoyi's Gatling Gun was extremely effective at opening up a passage, but if he was asked to complete an area of defense and attack the hive, it would be beyond his ability.
After all, he could only use 50% to 60% of his strength, which was much stronger than the other people in the fruit platter who could only use less than 40%. However, there was still a limit.
Most of the strongest reptiles were gathered around the hive, and these 20,000 people were far from being elites. The most they could do was to stall the hive, but they could not destroy it!
The focus of the battle shifted from White Stone Mountain to the hive. The key was whether Qi Xiaomei and the other 20,000 people could hold on until the main human army arrived. In other words, how much pressure could Lou Xiaoyi take off for them?
Around the hive, the frenzied reptiles were desperately defending it. Qi Xiaomei and the other 20,000 people could only stall the hive and ensure that they were not destroyed. As for attacking the hive, they did not have the ability to do so at the moment. 20,000 people were already a lot, but considering the fact that most of them were in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and there were only a few intermediate and advanced Physical Cultivators, it was difficult for such a small number to do anything on a battlefield with millions of people.
Lou Xiaoyi's difficulty was that he could not only attack in front of him. During a sudden attack, he could maximize his attack power in a certain direction, but now that they were in the vast Barren Plateau, he had to protect the 20,000 people in a circle!
There was no way for it to fan out, and it could only sweep in circles, just like the old radars in his previous life. Perhaps some of the stronger insects could not be swept away, but due to the speed of the radars, there would be countless insects that would rush forward to fill up the gaps. This meant that the 20,000 players had to hold on by themselves!
The casualties increased rapidly. In less than two hours, the 20,000 people had become 10,000 people. The 70,000 ordinary soldiers who had been abandoned did not suffer as many casualties! To them, being abandoned was not a bad thing.
The situation was very clear, and the goal was very clear. At this point, there was no other way except to fill the hive with human and insect heads!
Lou Xiaoyi had also considered whether he should give up on protecting these people and focus on attacking the hive. However, after a few attempts with the flying swords, he immediately gave up. There was something strange about the hive! It would only be effective if the Nutman destroyed it himself.
The development of the situation was not optimistic. He estimated that these people would be annihilated before the arrival of the main force, even if they were protected by his flying sword!
As the saying goes, the fire will burn brighter when the crowd gathers firewood! Just as Lou Xiaoyi was about to run out of tricks, another Heavenly Deity, a cultivator with a large fruit platter, stepped forward. He was the Heavenly Deity invited by the two supervising teams. After floating with great difficulty, he finally approached the insectoid nest battlefield!
In terms of offense, the Sword Vein orthodoxies were no weaker than others. However, in terms of defense, the Law Vein orthodoxies were no match for anyone else! Although his abilities were greatly reduced, this cultivator from the Strawberry Realm still cleverly displayed the diversity of his spells.
He used a large swamp in one direction, and then a quicksand trap in another direction. Then, he began to use his wood-type vines! In terms of lethality, these methods could not be compared to the flying swords. However, in terms of delaying the attacks of the insects, they were several times better than the flying swords. In this special environment and background, they were extremely useful.
At the very least, the insectoid nest was now difficult to move!
This was a battle of wills. If the insects could fight without fear of death, so could the humans! The twenty thousand supervising teams did not expect such a dramatic change in their roles on the battlefield. They went from being a side division to being the core of the human race's fate!
Four hours later, the main force of reinforcements arrived. Only two thousand people were left out of the twenty thousand. However, they had completed their mission!
Hundreds of thousands of humans swarmed forward. Almost all of the human cultivators were gathered here. They did not understand the insectoid nest, but they could at least destroy it with brute force! The battle was still intense, but it was nearing its end.
To Lou Xiaoyi, who had been paying attention to the insectoid nest, the result was beyond his expectations. After the insectoid nest was destroyed, there was no so-called queen insectoid inside. There was nothing inside, it was empty!
However, he could feel a familiar oddness. It was the trace of a spatial passage after it collapsed. In other words, this insectoid nest was actually a moving spatial passage disguised as an insectoid nest.
The fluctuations of spatial passages had their own characteristics. It was related to the origin, distance, and method of construction. The reason why he felt it was familiar was because he had a similar feeling at the exit of the zombie passage in the King Zombie Realm.
The universe was in chaos. Someone, or some force, was fishing in troubled waters!
This spatial passage should be the culprit behind the destruction of the insects. It usually hid underground to accumulate power. When the earth moved, it would either actively or passively come out to wreak havoc!
There were still many questions that were unclear. For example, were these insects defective products like the zombies in the King Zombie Realm? Void Zerg could fly, but they could not. Were they defective products, or was it just because of the special environment of the Nut Realm?
Were they forced to appear when the earth moved? Were they forced to the surface because the insects could not withstand the earth's movements? Or was there a plan?
Why did the insectoid nest, which existed as a spatial passage, come to the surface this time? Was it passive? Or was it the planned time to act?
Who was commanding them? Was it a big insect with intelligence? Or was it some other creature? Where was it or he hiding? Had it already escaped through the spatial passage? Or had it mixed in with the sea of insects and sneaked underground?
If he could not enter the Nut Realm, he would not know anything. However, he did not care. If he had suspicions, he would have a direction. If he really went in, he might not be able to find the truth even with his skills.
After the insectoid nest was destroyed, the insects might have also felt the danger. They instinctively knew that their escape route was cut off. Without support, some began to burrow underground, gradually forming a trend. The large insectoid swarm seemed invincible, but after losing their backbone, they no longer had the madness of the past. They also knew that this was the human world. At the very least, this was the case on the surface.
For the Nut Realm, in the next few hundred years or even longer, eliminating insects would become the most important task for humans. Going underground was a long way to go! This was their responsibility!
But at least they did not have the once every three hundred years problem hanging over their heads. This was the meaning of battle! There was no true sense of isolation from the world, nor was there a paradise. Even in the Nut Realm that was completely sealed off, there were still invasions from other races!
What made Lou Xiaoyi vigilant was that this spatial teleportation ability was very terrifying, and he still could not crack it!
If one day someone used this teleportation ability in a place that was important to him, what would he do?
This was the reason why he began to delve into the path of space! Cultivation always forced you to improve!
