"What is this? An evil mother worm?" Everyone felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing the enormous writhing creature emerge from the spatial passage.
It was a giant worm, its plump body wriggling in the starry sky. From a distance, it looked like a white, plump silkworm, but when compared with other creatures around it, one would find that the size of this silkworm was comparable to a giant beast in the starry sky.
Not only that, its enormous mouthparts not only looked incredibly ferocious, but also constantly dripped with mucus. Any living creature that touched them was instantly eroded into water, and then transported back by other insects as food.
Yes, the appearance of the Queen Insect could not possibly be limited to just one queen insect; it was accompanied by swarms of insects, a race even more terrifying than the creatures of darkness. Even without falling into darkness, they were enough to make all planes tremble with fear.
Like the machine race, the Zerg are inherently enemies of all intelligent civilizations across planes, beings that, like darkness, must be completely eradicated. Moreover, this queen Zerg has fallen into darkness, making her an even more terrifying existence capable of devouring the entire starry sky.
"No wonder, no wonder those dark creatures that came out before all had insect-like characteristics. The space behind this passage is now full of insects!" Many people exclaimed in surprise. At first, no one paid attention, but now that they saw the appearance of the insect queen, they immediately realized that this space was no longer just a place with dark creatures, but a place with an endless swarm of insects.
Compared to the creatures of darkness, the Zerg are far more terrifying.
Although dark creatures are constantly being born in the darkness, the rate is relatively controllable. Moreover, as the concentration of dark energy decreases, the speed and probability of the birth of dark creatures will change accordingly. Therefore, when clearing out dark creatures, the regeneration situation is generally not considered.
However, the Zerg are different. As long as there is a mother Zerg, the Zerg will be born continuously, and as long as there is enough food, the rate of birth will be very fast.
The few lords' kin who had just been corroded by the slime had already been devoured by the insect queen. Just these few people had brought the insect queen an army of hundreds in just a few seconds. The speed of digestion and hatching was simply astonishing.
Moreover, unlike simple dark creatures, dark creatures are born at level 0 or even level 1. Even in places with abundant dark energy, it takes them a considerable amount of time to grow up quickly.
However, the Zerg are different. They may only be at level 0 or even level 1 when they are born, but as long as the mother Zerg is strong enough and can provide them with enough food, they can grow to level 3, 4 or even 5 in just one or two days. This growth rate is even faster than the self-modification speed of the Machine Race, and their numbers are also much larger.
"Fire Crow! Three-Legged Golden Crow! Phoenix! All of you, move out! We must not let these insects break out! Candle Dragon! Take care of the insect queen as soon as possible! Insects generally have a weakness to fire!" Ye Chen shouted loudly on the Immortal-Piercing Platform.
The appearance of the Zerg and even the Zerg Queen had clearly disrupted his plans. If these Zerg were allowed to break out, the destruction would be catastrophic, and the surrounding low-level lords would have no ability to resist them.
Therefore, he immediately dispatched his strongest forces, all of which were birds that could counter the Zerg. Not only that, three hundred starships set sail and began to provide fire coverage on the perimeter, determined not to release a single Zerg. At the same time, he informed Raphael of the situation.
Upon hearing Ye Chen's message, Raphael was also dumbfounded. What the hell? He dug right into the enemy's lair with a single shovel? And it was swarming with crazy insects?
Raphael immediately dispatched two demigods to provide support, and even left only one demigod on his own side. The sudden increase in pressure weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.
"Chirp~~~" "Caw~~~Caw~~~"
Fire crows and phoenixes danced in the starry sky, the raging fire crows spewing fire everywhere, each breath burning countless insects to ashes.
Even with tens of millions of fire crows and hundreds of powerful phoenixes, it was still a drop in the ocean against the endless sea of insects.
As the queen insect continues to reproduce, the number of insects that burst out is no longer in the tens or hundreds of millions, but in the billions or tens of billions.
Faced with the overwhelming swarm of insects, even the Three-Legged Golden Crow had no good solution. There were simply too many of them, and the insects were not large, with gaps in their bodies, so the True Flame of the Sun could not spread out as it had before, and could only burn the area not far from its own.
But there were just too many insects, layer upon layer, that even the blazing sun of the three-legged golden crow couldn't penetrate. He could only watch as the fiery insects charged towards him...
The battle lines are gradually retreating. If they stayed in place, even the Three-Legged Golden Crow would probably get trapped. However, this result has given the insectoids more room to survive, allowing more insects to reproduce.
"This won't do. We must find a way to deal with the Queen Insect!" Ye Chen looked up at the starry sky with a grim face. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but densely packed insectoids.
Even Zhulong couldn't go deep inside. He could traverse space, but there was no place for him to land. As for rushing in, unless he abandoned this body, even with his seventh-level physique, he couldn't withstand it.
A single insect is nothing, it can't even gnaw through his scales, but thousands upon thousands of insects are a different story. They will gnaw on anything and get into everything... eventually, just like when Ye Chen killed the Starry Sky Beast, they will devour the Candle Dragon's body completely.
Upon hearing the message relayed by Zhulong, Ye Chen experienced for the first time in his life the qualitative change caused by quantitative change. A group of insects below the fourth rank had actually shaken the existence of a demigod and threatened the life of a god.
"This can't go on! The only way to deal with the Zerg is to kill the Queen. Otherwise, if this continues, the entire starry sky and even the entire plane will be devoured by these swarms of insects!" someone shouted from afar. They were fighting the Zerg on their territory. Although it was easy to kill them, there were just too many of them. If they weren't careful, they would be overwhelmed by the overwhelming number of insects.
"Zhulong! Charge in at top speed! Three-legged Golden Crows and Phoenixes, cover him!" Ye Chen shouted. Although the risk was extremely high, there was no other way at this point. He didn't even dare to wait for Raphael's demigod to come to his aid. He had to take advantage of the fact that there weren't many insects yet and kill the insect queen in the starry sky as soon as possible.
