Zhou Qi immediately became alert; his eyes instantly sharpened like an eagle's, and he conveyed a warning command to Uka through their mental connection: "Uka, an unknown creature is approaching! Prepare for defense immediately!"

Upon receiving the command, Uka did not hesitate. Years of combat experience allowed it to react swiftly.

It loudly shouted, directing the Six-Order Four Fiend Insect Soldiers and Six-Tier Spiked Horned Tyrant Insect to set up a defensive formation around the nest.

The Six-Order Four Fiend Insect Soldiers moved quickly, arranging themselves closely together, with black Evil Qi emanating from their bodies, forming an invisible barrier.

The segmented weapons in their hands gleamed with a chilling light, as if ready to tear apart any enemy daring to approach at any moment.

The Six-Stage Zhu Yan Devil Insects were not to be outdone; they circled in the air, their long spears held tightly in their hands.

Zhou Qi's heart stirred, and he immediately connected to Moga Luo's perspective to understand what these creatures were.

Moga Luo's voice carried a hint of tension as she said through the mental connection: "Master, these creatures are called Yi Serpent Persons. They are a powerful race in the Geocentric World, on par with the Lizardmen, and they are extremely aggressive, always showing no mercy to other life forms."

Zhou Qi pondered for a moment, knowing that he might have been targeted by these monsters. According to the usual routine, they would probably go gather their kin.

The more Zhou Qi thought about it, the more anxious he became. He absolutely could not let them go back and bring a large force, otherwise, there would be endless troubles.

He immediately decided to go all out, directly ordering the Six-Stage Zhu Yan Devil Insects to quickly rush over and capture them.

Under Zhou Qi's command, the Six-Stage Zhu Yan Devil Insects lunged towards the Yi Serpent Persons like black lightning.

Their massive wings flapped, emitting a "buzzing" sound, stirring up a strong current of Qi that sent shivers down one's spine.

On the other side, among the group of one hundred Yi Serpent Persons, the leader was surprisingly a female Yi Serpent Person.

She was very tall, wearing form-fitting leather armor that outlined her perfect figure, exuding an unusual sense of allure.

Beside her, a Yi Serpent Person asked her with a puzzled expression: "Leader, why did you let those insects go?"

The female Yi Serpent Person rolled her eyes in a human-like manner and retorted impatiently: "Are you out of your mind? Can't you see the situation? With just us, who knows who's letting whom go! Didn't you see that there are many of those insects, and their strength is not weak?"

The reprimanded Yi Serpent Person meekly dared not utter another sound.

The female Yi Serpent Person Leader also fell silent, but she couldn't help but feel a little upset. No wonder her tribe was invaded and occupied by other Yi Serpent Persons; it was evident from the tribesmen who asked such questions beside her.

The numerous Yi Serpent Persons had not gone far when they saw countless small black dots flying in the sky. Slowly, these small black dots grew closer, turning out to be one of the strange insects they had just encountered.

The Yi Serpent Person Leader saw the Zhu Yan Demon Insect pursuing them from afar, and her eyes instantly narrowed. A hint of solemnity flashed across her originally calm face.

She unconsciously tightened her grip on the long spear in her hand; the spear shaft trembled slightly, indicating her inner tension, but more so, her determination for this battle.

She abruptly turned her head and shouted loudly: "Don't panic! Stand in defensive formation, prepare to face the enemy!" Her voice was firm and powerful, echoing through the surrounding stone forest.

The Yi Serpent Persons moved swiftly, forming a tight circle in a well-trained manner, their shields interlocking, cooperating seamlessly with each other.

These shields were crafted from an unknown black metal, their surfaces shimmering with a chilling luster, and strange runes were carved on their faces, faintly emitting mysterious power fluctuations.

Tension was evident in the Yi Serpent Persons' eyes; their pupils slightly constricted as they stared intently at the approaching Zhu Yan Demon Insect, but more than that, there was a firm resolve for battle—a determination to fight to protect their tribe and defend their dignity.

In the blink of an eye, the Six-Stage Zhu Yan Devil Insects arrived at the Yi Serpent Persons' position.

One Zhu Yan Demon Insect launched the first attack, diving down like a black lightning bolt, its speed so fast that people barely had time to react.

Its scythe-like forelegs gleamed with a cold light, and in the faint illumination, they resembled two sharp blades of death, stabbing directly towards a Yi Serpent Person.

That Yi Serpent Person reacted extremely quickly. He roared, forcefully used both arms, and thrust his shield forward.

"Clang!" A loud crash, the deafening sound of metal colliding, the immense impact seemed to shake the very air, and sparks flew like fireworks.

This force made the Yi Serpent Person retreat several steps; his feet scraped two deep marks on the ground, and a noticeable dent appeared on his shield, showing how immense the power of that strike was.

But he gritted his teeth, stubbornly holding his ground in the defensive line with unyielding determination in his eyes.

This Zhu Yan Demon Insect missed its strike but showed no intention of retreating.

Utilizing the powerful flapping force of its wings, it swiftly adjusted its posture in the air, drawing a graceful arc before charging towards the Yi Serpent Person again.

This time, it changed its target, aiming its sharp scythe-like forelegs at the Yi Serpent Person's legs.

The Yi Serpent Person sensed the Zhu Yan Demon Insect's intention and tried to stab it with his long spear to stop its attack.

But the Zhu Yan Demon Insect was extremely fast, flexibly twisting its body, cleverly avoiding the spear's thrust.

Immediately after, its scythe-like forelegs fiercely scraped against the Yi Serpent Person's calf; the hard scales rubbed against the Yi Serpent Person's leg armor, emitting a harsh sound.

The Yi Serpent Person cried out in pain; the sharp pain from his leg caused his body to suddenly sway, almost losing his balance and falling to the ground.

He endured the pain, supporting his body with his long spear to keep himself from falling, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, dripping onto the ground and instantly evaporating.

Other Zhu Yan Demon Insects also launched fierce attacks. One by one, the Zhu Yan Demon Insects flew high, then swooped down at extreme speed, using their sharp venomous stingers to pierce through the gaps in the Yi Serpent Persons' shields.

Those venomous stingers gleamed with a deadly light in the sunlight; as soon as they found a slight opportunity, they would stab down without hesitation, and once the stinger pierced the Yi Serpent Person's body, the venom would quickly spread.

The Yi Serpent Persons struck by the venomous stingers had their skin instantly turn black, as if enveloped by a layer of dark shadow. They groaned in pain, their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Still other Zhu Yan Demon Insects, relying on their High-Speed Movement ability, rapidly shuttled around the Yi Serpent Persons' defensive line.

Their wings fanned powerful currents of Qi, and this current was like a strong wind, making it difficult for the Yi Serpent Persons to even open their eyes, disrupting their vision and movement.

Under the influence of this current of Qi, the Yi Serpent Persons had to slightly turn their bodies to reduce the wind's impact on themselves, and this momentary distraction gave the Zhu Yan Demon Insects more opportunities to attack.

As more and more Six-Stage Zhu Yan Devil Insects covered the sky and rushed in, the great battle quickly unfolded...
