Inside the Bug Nest, the passages were intricate and complex, permeated by a pungent, putrid smell. The walls glowed with an eerie light, seemingly hiding some unknown danger.

The Mingling Devils advanced cautiously, observing their surroundings with vigilance at every step.

Their eyes gleamed with a profound light, missing not a single anomaly.

Suddenly, an Eight-tailed Ironblood Bugman, hidden in the shadows, lunged out. Its speed was extreme, like a black shadow, instantly appearing before a Sixth-Order Spiritmorph Demon.

This Ironblood Bugman's claws were incredibly sharp, gleaming with a cold light, and aimed directly at the Sixth-Order Spiritmorph Demon's throat.

The Sixth-Order Spiritmorph Demon reacted quickly, sidestepping to avoid the fatal blow, then fiercely stabbed the Ironblood Bugman's abdomen with the blade on its arm.

The Ironblood Bugman cried out in pain, letting out a roar, but it did not retreat; instead, it attacked even more furiously.

Seeing this, an Eighth-Order Mingling Devil immediately joined the fight. Its strength far surpassed that of the Sixth-Order Spiritmorph Demon, and within a few rounds, it had slain the Ironblood Bugman.

The Mingling Devils continued to delve deeper, constantly killing the Ironblood Bugmen that appeared around them.

As they gradually penetrated to the bottom of the Bug Nest, the surrounding aura became increasingly strange, and the temperature plummeted, sending shivers down one's spine.

Finally, they arrived at the bottom of the Bug Nest, where there was an enormous circular ring-shaped hole, like a black hole, emitting an endless mysterious aura.

From within it, Ironblood Bugmen were continuously emerging; this was, in fact, an interdimensional passage.

Zhou Qi felt his scalp tingle as he watched through his subordinate's perspective. He had originally thought this was just a powerful tribe from the Geocentric World, but he had never expected it to be a race from another dimension.

If this passage were allowed to continue existing, the endless stream of Ironblood Bugmen would bring utter disaster to their side. Zhou Qi's mind was momentarily caught in a dilemma.

On one hand, this spatial passage continuously releasing Ironblood Bugmen would pose a significant threat to his side.

On the other hand, Zhou Qi was also very curious about the other end of the spatial passage, and the Ironblood Bugmen could also bring him a considerable income of Evolution Points.

After much deliberation, Zhou Qi had a few Mingling Devils guard the area for now, while he himself kept a close eye on the spatial passage through his subordinate's perspective.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Zhou Qi observed with full concentration, missing no detail.

He discovered that these Ironblood Bugmen, who had just emerged from the spatial passage, were visibly trembling, their steps unsteady, like people recovering from a severe illness, needing a good while to regain their mobility.

Zhou Qi's eyes lit up, and an idea formed in his mind.

He immediately issued an order to the Mingling Devils through his mental link: "You must guard this spatial passage to the death! Don't let a single Ironblood Bugman out! As soon as new Ironblood Bugmen appear, take advantage of their weakness and deal with them immediately!"

After confirming that the danger inside the Bug Nest was controllable, he quickly contacted You Long, asking her to bring a team of Parasites for support.

"Eliminate all the Ironblood Bugmen outside and inside. When they transmit through the spatial passage and are weak, we can easily deal with them."

You Long received the order and did not dare to delay in the slightest.

She carefully selected from the Parasite team, choosing the Yi Serpent Person warriors with rich combat experience and stronger abilities.

Although these Parasites had lost their self-awareness, under the control of the Mind Control Demon Bug, they were absolutely obedient to commands, and their combat effectiveness was not diminished in the least.

Before departing, You Long carefully checked everyone's equipment, ensuring their weapons were sharp and their armor sturdy.

Then, she led the Parasites swiftly towards the Bug Nest.

Along the way, they were cautious, trying to avoid scattered Ironblood Bugmen, but a group of Ironblood Bugmen still discovered their tracks and surrounded them, brandishing their claws.

You Long's eyes instantly sharpened, her long spear clutched tightly. The Parasites also moved quickly, forming a tight defensive formation, their weapons gleaming with cold light as they vigilantly watched their surroundings.

The Ironblood Bugmen let out roars and launched their attack first.

A larger Ironblood Bugman lunged at You Long, its claws incredibly sharp, gleaming with a cold light, aiming directly at You Long's throat.

You Long showed no fear, sidestepping to easily avoid the fatal blow.

Immediately after, she used her body's momentum to thrust her long spear fiercely into the Ironblood Bugman's abdomen.

With a "thud," the long spear successfully pierced through, and green blood gushed out, splattering onto You Long's face and body.

The Ironblood Bugman cried out in pain, letting out a tormented roar, but it did not retreat; instead, it waved its claws even more frantically, attempting to attack again.

The other Parasites also engaged in fierce combat with the Ironblood Bugmen.

They cooperated tacitly, supporting each other. When one Parasite inadvertently exposed an opening while fending off an Ironblood Bugman's attack, a companion nearby immediately swung their blade at the Ironblood Bugman, saving it.

The Parasites utilized the gaps in the Ironblood Bugmen's attacks to find opportunities to counterattack. Their weapons constantly stabbed at the Ironblood Bugmen's vital points, each attack carrying immense power.

Although the Ironblood Bugmen were numerous, the Parasites, led by You Long, did not fall into disarray.

Relying on their tenacious will and excellent combat skills, they gradually gained the upper hand. After a bitter struggle, You Long and the Parasites finally successfully repelled this group of Ironblood Bugmen.

Looking at the Ironblood Bugman corpses scattered across the ground, You Long did not linger for a moment, leading her team onward towards the Bug Nest.

At this moment, the Mingling Devils inside the Bug Nest were facing immense pressure.

Although they had successfully held the passage, the continuous surge of Ironblood Bugmen was gradually overwhelming them.

A Sixth-Order Spiritmorph Demon was accidentally scratched by an Ironblood Bugman's claw during the battle, leaving a deep wound on its arm. Green blood flowed out, and its movements slightly slowed, almost getting hit again by another Ironblood Bugman.

Just at this critical moment, You Long arrived with the Parasites.

Their arrival instantly changed the tide of the battle. The Parasites attacked the Ironblood Bugmen from the flank, disrupting the Ironblood Bugmen's offensive rhythm.

You Long, moreover, moved as if in an uninhabited land. Her long spear danced among the Ironblood Bugmen, each attack carrying immense power, accurately stabbing at the Ironblood Bugmen's vital points.

The Ironblood Bugmen were caught off guard by this sudden attack, and their formation fell into disarray for a time.

Zhou Qi watched this scene from outside the battlefield through his subordinate's perspective, feeling very satisfied.

He kept a close eye on the situation inside the Bug Nest, noticing that although Ironblood Bugmen were continuously pouring out of the passage, their numbers seemed to be gradually decreasing. He speculated that the other side might have detected the situation here and started controlling the number of individuals being transmitted.
