It was a several-meter-long earth spirit worm, its slender body covered with fine, angular scales, and a pair of triangular eyes that coldly stared at the humans above the pit.
In particular, he stared coldly at Lin Yu.
Judging from its enormous size, which far surpasses that of other earth spirit insects, and the dangerous aura it exudes, it is not difficult to determine its level.
"A King-level monster!" everyone exclaimed.
Chu Lingyan activated the detection equipment immediately, and the detection results undoubtedly confirmed this.
【Class/Race: Earth Spirit Insect King, Level: LV: 20.】
Strength: 140. Defense: 200. Agility: 140. Spirit: 440. Health: 2000.
Mana: 2000/2000.
Passive skill: Resilience, which reduces the duration of various control effects on the user, up to 100%.
Overall command. Can command all earth spirit insects and issue orders to them.
Active skill: Telekinesis. Allows the user to control objects and energy within a 10-meter radius using their mind.
Whether in terms of attributes or skills, the Insect King is significantly improved compared to the ordinary Earth Spirit Insect.
"Be careful!" Chu Lingyan warned.
Her intuition told her that this insect king, who possessed telekinesis with a range of 10 meters and could command earth spirit insects, would be very difficult to deal with.
As she expected, things turned out as she predicted.
But then the Insect King let out a hiss, and countless earth spirit insects crawled out of the pit and gathered towards it, densely packed, like a tidal wave.
Then a large blue halo, about 10 meters in diameter, appeared, and the earth spirit insects were controlled by it to fly up.
It flew up 10 meters.
That wasn't the end of it. The Insect King let out another hiss, and a batch of the Earth Spirit Insects that had been lifted up opened up a halo, lifting another batch up by 5 meters.
This is still not over.
One group that was lifted up then lifted another group up.
Just like stacking people!
After repeating this process several times, the earth spirit insects were lifted dozens of meters high, approaching the people outside the pit.
They could see the earth spirit insects at the top getting closer and closer to them.
15 meters, 10 meters...
Realizing the danger, everyone shouted, "Retreat!" As Lin Yu roared, they retreated while continuing to throw stones at the creatures.
Because of the mind control aura, no one launched a real attack right away, as that would be a pure waste of mana.
I want to do what I did before: first use stones to deplete the Earth Spirit Insects' mana, and then launch a real attack on them.
"Bang bang bang!"
However, with another hiss from the Insect King below, the Earth Spirit Insects seemed to receive a command and began to ignore the stones, letting them fall on them.
Clearly, the Insect King possesses superior intelligence and knows which attacks can be ignored.
With the Earth Spirit Insect's defenses, it would naturally remain unharmed even if a stone were thrown at it.
Everyone was furious and cursed the insect king for being cunning.
With things having come to this point, there was no other way for them but to attack the Earth Spirit Worm; the only option was to fight it out with real weapons.
In an instant, lightning pierced the sky and ice spikes flew as Qingxue and Chu Lingyan unleashed their magic.
Lin Yu wielded the Shattering Star Sword, unleashing a flurry of sword strikes.
Gao Yang used the Demon Gun that Lin Yu lent him, fired a burst of bullets in a cool manner, and then ran out of bullets.
Wang Xiaoran used the crossbow that Chu Lingyan had lent him and fired a series of shots before running out of bolts.
Fortunately, the group's attack successfully depleted the mana of several earth spirit insects.
Without the support of mana, several earth spirit insects were unable to open the light circle.
However, just when everyone thought they could kill them, something unexpected happened.
As the Insect King's hissing sounded again, several Earth Spirit Insects behind it, whose mana was still intact, rushed forward, creating a circle of light to block the damage and act as cover for them.
In this way, the earth spirit insects that had exhausted their mana were able to survive, and they also decisively retreated and withdrew from the battlefield.
He couldn't help but glare at everyone with hatred.
Wait, once their mana is restored, they'll be heroes again.
Everyone was stunned.
Unexpectedly, under the control of the Insect King, in just a few breaths, the originally loosely organized Earth Spirit Insects became so cooperative, like a precisely operating machine.
It is also like a valiant army with tactics.
Immediately, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
How are they supposed to fight?
Qingxue and Chu Lingyan looked at their remaining mana points, which were only a little over 1,000, and felt powerless.
With so much mana, it would be difficult to even deal with a single Earth Spirit Worm. Moreover, the Earth Spirit Worm now has teammates to help it, so even if it runs out of mana, it still won't be able to kill it.
Everyone quickened their pace of retreat, as if they were fleeing in panic.
Only Lin Yu remained calm.
His steps were steady, his gaze falling on the few earth spirit insects that were rapidly approaching, then on the few that were quickly retreating, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes for a moment:
"Don't be so arrogant, you'd all die!"
The blue stone sword was drawn, "Clang clang clang clang clang!"
One sword, two swords, three swords...
The sound of swords whistling incessantly rose and fell, like a somber melody.
In one breath, Lin Yu unleashed 20 sword wheels. The 20 sword wheels spun wildly, carrying terrifying power, and pushed towards the earth spirit worm like a bulldozer.
The earth spirit insects naturally realized the great danger and immediately opened up a light circle, using their minds to deflect the sword wheel's slash.
Unfortunately, there were too many sword wheels, and they were too powerful. Even with all their mental control, the earth spirit insects couldn't keep up.
Sixteen sword wheels were controlled and deflected by them, but there were still four left that were truly out of control.
Then, "Puff puff puff puff!"
Four sword wheels rolled over, the sharp sword energy combined with true damage was completely beyond what the earth spirit insects could withstand, and in an instant, several earth spirit insects perished.
