Meanwhile, on the other side...

A group of Star Alliance members were caught in a dilemma, looking at the large number of corrupted Zerg and the numerous Glowstones among them.

"Damn it, Jiang Wang is really something else! No wonder I couldn't find any fluorite!"

"Stop saying so much, and don't let your emotions get the better of you."

As one of the Star Alliance members was sighing, Kaeya spoke up to remind him.

Although he wasn't a high-level Platinum, he earned the respect of other Star Alliance members through his steady planning and rational thinking.

"Then what do you suggest we do? Should we take a gamble?"

"No, there are so many mutated insectoids. Even if we charge in, we'll only die."

"and..."

"Look where you are."

"Did you see that figure? That's probably no pushover. Even if we charge in, how much soul power will we have left to fight that guy?"

Kaeya pointed to Horace, who had been standing at the entrance of the insect hive.

"And look here again."

Then Kaeya pointed again to several inconspicuous mounds of earth in the outer area...

"Judging from the demonic energy escaping from it, this should be the ashes burned by the deep invasion of demonic energy that could not withstand its power."

“I guess we’re not the first people to discover this fluorite.”

“But look, there are no signs of fighting around the fluorite, or even around the guy guarding the entrance to the hive.”

"This shows that no one can cross such a swarm of insects to reach the insect nest full of fluorite, and those gray creatures exuding demonic energy are the evidence."

"Furthermore, I suspect that due to the large number of mutated insectoids here, the demonic energy is exceptionally dense, so I suggest that we leave this place as soon as possible."

Kaiya explained clearly and logically.

"Is there really no other way?!"

The people around were getting anxious.

"Calm down! I don't want you to turn into a demon while I'm around!"

The Star Alliance member next to Kaeya suddenly turned around and shouted, then looked at Kaeya, expecting him to come up with a good solution.

"No, unless the Zerg leave on their own, but that's highly unlikely..."

When Kaiya said these words, everyone around him sighed.

It's no wonder they were on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Jiang Wang really went too far.

The Zerg are efficient and numerous when it comes to scavenging glowstone; they won't let any glowstone, no matter how small, escape their grasp.

The Zerg's invasion leaves nothing but desolation; this is no joke.

This means that if you see Zerg, it means there are no more glowstones around.

This left those who hadn't prepared fluorite in advance completely bewildered and plunged into deep despair.

There is no energy in other dimensions.

There's no fluorite either.

Attacking the Zerg would be a dead end.

Therefore, many people, even hunters, have turned into demons under such extreme and vicious circumstances.

"Sigh, let's go and try our luck somewhere else."

As he spoke, Kaiya was the first to stand up.

There was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

They were running low on fluorite, and if things continued like this, they would be in danger...

Thinking of this, Kaiya sighed inwardly.

If the third phase hadn't come, he might have been able to trade some fluorite for Jiang Wang based on their few encounters.

But at this moment, Jiang Wang has most likely also become a demon seed.

I can't very well talk about our meager friendship with Jiang Wang, who has become a demon seed, can I?

"Wait! Look!"

Just as Kaiya turned to leave, the person next to him suddenly whispered.

His voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Kaiya frowned and turned around. He was extremely annoyed by these people's frequent emotional outbursts!

Because in the third stage, the more intense the fluctuations, the easier it is for one's mind to lose control and be invaded by demonic energy.

He even regretted bringing these people together.

"Could you...?"

Just as he was about to emphasize it again.

The next second.

Kaiya's eyes widened instantly.

He understood why the people around him were excited, and he was even a little excited himself.

Because the Zerg, which had been motionless and silent, suddenly began to move slowly!

Moreover, it wasn't just a large number of Zerg; even the one that had been guarding the entrance to the Zerg hive started to move.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Jiang Wang, panting heavily, finally burned away all the vast demonic energy.

The price he paid was that he was almost completely exhausted.

Almost all the energy in his body was used to transform into holy light.

Thanks to his innate talent, Jiang Wang was able to barely absorb the surrounding energy to stay upright.

It should be noted that since Jiang Wang obtained [Absolute Balance], he has been directly crushed in battles, and has also been knocked unconscious by powerful beings like the War Demon.

But I never said I fought to the point of exhaustion...

If other people's spiritual power and mental energy reserves are like two unequal ponds.

So Jiang Wang is two identical, enormous lakes...

Even so...

"Backlash?!"

As the holy light around Jiang Wang gradually dissipated and shrank, Aunt Li Xue instantly appeared behind Jiang Wang and asked softly.

Just as Jiang Wang was fighting against the demonic energy, she had already roughly guessed what was going on.

The Zerg have always communicated through some kind of link, but with a large number of Zerg stranded outside, a sudden re-establishment of the link will inevitably provoke a backlash from some of the corrupted Zerg...

Therefore, Aunt Li Xue didn't dare to speak, but was prepared to inject holy light into Jiang Wang at any time.

At this moment, Jiang Wang sensed Aunt Li Xue's approach and stopped insisting.

Aunt Li Xue caught Jiang Wang, who was about to fall, in her arms.

"The Zerg have already..."

Jiang Wang didn't have time to feel the softness behind him.

He frowned, and said with some agitation...

Seeing Jiang Wang's expression, Aunt Li Xue instantly understood that the insectoids had probably already transformed into demonic beings...

"Sigh... It's alright, you're alright, Anna and the others are alright, isn't that enough..."

Aunt Li Xue didn't know how to comfort Jiang Wang, after all, she knew that Jiang Wang had stored a lot of fluorite and other resources in the insect hive.

Even the demon's body, and the corpses of Catherine and the others, were there...

But Jiang Wang's next reaction surprised him...

Upon seeing her conflicted expression as she tried to comfort her, Jiang Wang slowly smiled.

In that instant...

She thought Jiang Wang was going crazy because he couldn't handle such a huge loss.

"No! I mean! The Zerg have already autonomously completed their demonic transformation!"

Aunt Li Xue was stunned by Jiang Wang's bright, sparkling eyes...

Yeah, the Zerg have become corrupted, why are you, the Overmind, so happy?

Do you think these Zerg would listen to you?

etc!

Listen to you?!

Aunt Li Xue's eyes widened slowly, and even her small mouth gradually opened...

"You...you mean the Zerg have become corrupted, but they still obey your commands?!"
