He could withstand an attack from a single mantis, but he was facing thousands of leader-level mantises.

The terrifying vibrations came from all directions, resonated, and merged into powerful collision forces, which then acted directly on the shield.

"Click, click..."

In just a short while, countless cracks appeared on the entire shield from all directions.

It was clear that the shield was no longer effective.

"Oh no!"

Upon seeing this, Bingyi panicked and looked at Prince Ye.

At this moment, Prince Ye was clearly entering a critical stage; his eyes were tightly closed and his forehead was covered in sweat.

It must be engaged in a battle of wills with the Mantis King. If something goes wrong at this moment, failing to tame the beast is a minor matter; the real problem would be suffering a backlash that could damage its very foundation.

How are you?

Bingyi struggled to maintain the barrier, looking at Prince Ye and asking questions.

"This mantis king's will is too strong; it will probably take some more time."

Wang Ziye did not open his eyes, clearly lacking the energy to be distracted. After responding with one sentence, he fell silent.

"What am I going to do? I'm about to reach my limit!"

Looking at the shield that was almost completely shattered, Bingyi gritted her teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood from the tip of her tongue.

"Pfft..."

The blood was spat onto the barrier, and the crimson light flickered, finally managing to stick the shield together.

"Bang bang bang..."

Seeing this, the swarms of leader-level mantises clinging to the water shield became even more agitated, and their attacks became increasingly fierce.

They were on the verge of successfully rescuing their king; how could they let it all fall apart at this crucial moment?

Sure enough, this forced support was not a long-term solution, and the shield that had just healed was cracked again in the next moment.

"Splash..."

This time, the shield finally couldn't hold on any longer, and the entire shield cracked!

"Buzzing..."

As soon as the shield shattered, the mantises' eyes turned bloodshot, their scythes were raised high, and they charged towards Prince Ye like madmen.

They ignored Bingyi's existence; their only target was Prince Ye.

Midnight!

Seeing this, Bingyi's eyes widened, and he wanted to rush forward to help, but the dense swarm of mantises blocked his way, preventing him from rushing over immediately.

He could only watch helplessly as Prince Ye was gradually surrounded by those mantises.

Although Bingyi continued to swing her weapon and push away the surrounding mantises, her heart was filled with grief and indignation.

Now, Prince Ye will likely be seriously injured, if not killed.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

However, the bloody scene he had imagined did not occur. With a strange cry from the Mantis King, everything around him seemed to freeze, and all the movements of the black mantises were instantly stiffened.

"Prince Ye!"

Bingyi was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. She pushed aside the mantises and squeezed towards Wang Ziye. The mantises did not move and just stayed quietly in place.

Although Bingyi was filled with confusion, she was too preoccupied with Prince Ye's safety to think about it and just wanted to find him as soon as possible.

"Good boy, good boy."

Upon arriving at the border, he saw Prince Ye sitting unharmed, gently stroking the Mantis King's head.

"This is…"

Upon seeing this, Bingyi's eyes lit up with joy.
