In just a moment, under the Divine Might of many powerful dependents, the Ironblood Bugmen inside the insect nest were completely eliminated.
The remaining 20 Mingling Devils were like 20 unshakable fortresses, firmly guarding the spatial passage.
Their eyes were like torches, constantly vigilant for any movement within the passage; as soon as an Ironblood Bugman stepped out, they would be met with a storm of blows.
As an Ironblood Bugman barely showed half its body from the passage, the quickest Mingling Devil immediately struck, its thick arm like an iron rod, smashing towards the Ironblood Bugman's arm with a whooshing sound.
With a 'crack,' the Ironblood Bugman's arm was snapped, letting out a painful howl.
Before it could react, another Mingling Devil kicked precisely at its leg, and with another crisp sound, the Ironblood Bugman's leg also broke.
This unlucky Ironblood Bugman was beaten until it lost its ability to resist before it could even get a foothold in this world, and was tossed aside like a broken sack.
The Four Fiends Insect Soldiers quickly came forward, bound it with tough spider silk, and then dragged it away for imprisonment.
On the other side, the Spiked Horned Tyrant Bugs were also incredibly busy.
With their strong and powerful mandibles, they picked up one Ironblood Bugman corpse after another, walking with neat and heavy steps towards the cave where the tai sui meat Clone was placed.
With every step, the ground trembled slightly.
The tai sui meat Clone was quietly lying in the center of the cave, like a giant ball of flesh waiting to be fed; the mucus on its surface shimmered with an eerie light under the faint glow, as if anticipating the arrival of a feast.
The Spiked Horned Tyrant Bugs placed the corpses one by one beside it, and the tai sui meat Clone, as if smelling delicious prey, began to wriggle slightly, extending some tiny tentacles to slowly envelop the corpses.
Upon contact, the corpses began to dissolve at a visible speed, green liquid continuously seeped out and was quickly absorbed by the tai sui meat Clone, and its body slowly grew larger; with each corpse absorbed, the star patterns on its body shimmered more brightly.
Zhou Qi stood in front of the spatial passage, his eyes filled with curiosity and exploration.
What kind of world was on the other end of this mysterious passage?
He couldn't suppress the desire in his heart and decided to send a Zhu Yan Demon Insect to investigate.
He selected a robust Zhu Yan Demon Insect and conveyed the command to it through a mental link; upon receiving the order, the Zhu Yan Demon Insect flapped its wings and walked towards the passage without hesitation.
The moment the Zhu Yan Demon Insect stepped into the passage, Zhou Qi quickly switched his perspective to it.
In an instant, he felt dizzy, and the surrounding scenery rapidly changed like a distorted painting; as the perspective stabilized, the Zhu Yan Demon Insect also stepped into the world belonging to the Ironblood Bugmen.
What appeared before his eyes was a stunning and peculiar world.
Giant insect nests stood like mountains on the ground, their surfaces uneven with complex and mysterious patterns, resembling ancient characters or unique natural decorations.
Around these insect nests were buildings similar to palaces, with strange and bizarre architectural styles.
The walls of the buildings were made of a substance resembling black crystal, shimmering with a cold light under the sunlight, and the reflected light intertwined to form peculiar light and shadow effects.
The tops of the palaces were sharp and conical, covered with sharp thorns, appearing both majestic and aggressive.
Countless Ironblood Bugmen were bustling through this world, like a vast civilized city.
They were either conversing in small groups or transporting various items, all in an orderly manner.
Below, teams of Ironblood Bugmen were lining up in neat formations, as if preparing to enter the spatial passage.
Their carapaces shimmered with a metallic luster, reflecting a cold light in the sunlight; these Ironblood Bugmen held strange tools and weapons in their hands, which Zhou Qi couldn't understand, but he could feel the powerful Qi contained within them.
The appearance of the Zhu Yan Demon Insect instantly broke the tranquility here.
The Ironblood Bugmen immediately discovered this uninvited guest; their eyes gleamed with vigilance and hostility, and they began to clamor at the Zhu Yan Demon Insect, emitting sharp and urgent sounds, as if issuing a warning or conveying some information to each other.
Before the Zhu Yan Demon Insect could react, giant monsters soared into the sky from the distant insect nest.
These monsters resembled giant birds, with a wingspan of nearly 20 meters; the feathers on their wings were like sharp blades, gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
Each giant bird carried several Ironblood Bugmen on its back, who held strange bow-like long-range weapons, their designs peculiar and covered with mysterious runes, exuding a dangerous aura.
With a sharp cry, the Ironblood Bugmen launched their attack.
A rain of steel-needle-like arrows instantly enveloped the Zhu Yan Demon Insect; these arrows were extremely fast, creating a sharp whistling sound.
Amidst the overwhelming arrow rain, the Zhu Yan Demon Insect's situation was precarious.
It desperately activated its Combat Instinct, relying on its High-Speed Movement ability to frantically dodge among the dense arrows.
However, despite its quick reactions, it was still difficult to completely avoid all attacks; several arrows pierced deeply into its tough insect armor, and the powerful impact caused its body to shake violently, green blood gushing from the wounds, shimmering with an eerie light in the sunlight.
Every arrow had the power comparable to an anti-material sniper rifle, easily tearing through the Zhu Yan Demon Insect's outer insect armor, and the piercing pain made it let out a series of shrill cries.
But the Zhu Yan Demon Insect did not give up resistance; it waved its scythe-like forelegs, trying to block some arrows, while exerting all its strength to fly towards the sky, wanting to escape this dangerous situation.
Zhou Qi saw all of this clearly through the dependent's perspective, feeling extremely anxious.
He wanted to recall the Zhu Yan Demon Insect, but he was worried that cutting the connection at this moment would put the Zhu Yan Demon Insect in a desperate situation; as he hesitated, the Zhu Yan Demon Insect's injuries became more severe, its body already covered with arrow wounds, blood continuously flowing, and its movements gradually slowed down.
Suddenly, a giant Nine-Tailed Ironblood Insect Man charged out from the insect nest; its body was more than twice as large as an ordinary Ironblood Bugman, its carapace was thicker and shimmered with a dark luster, and it held a giant battle-axe in its hand, its blade also covered with mysterious runes, exuding a chilling aura.
It roared as it charged towards the Zhu Yan Demon Insect, its battle-axe arcing through the air, bringing with it a strong wind pressure, and fiercely chopped down towards the Zhu Yan Demon Insect.
