"Gah~~~Gah~~~" "Chirp~~~"
Upon receiving Ye Chen's command, all the phoenixes moved in unison, no longer scattering as before to control the spread of the insect swarm, but gradually gathering in one place, preparing to charge in together with Zhulong.
Without the suppression of the phoenixes, the insect swarms in other directions spread rapidly. The starships alone were powerless to resist, and the battle lines quickly spread in all directions. The lords in the distance fought and retreated, and soon gave up nearly half of the star field area.
Of course, except for the direction Ye Chen was in...
A large number of phoenixes and fire crows gathered in front, and any insectoid creatures that approached were instantly burned to ashes. The three-legged golden crows' flames were enough to protect everyone without the phoenixes even having to lift a finger.
It could just be a shelter. Next, Ye Chen's territory began to retreat. The insectoids had surrounded them, while the phoenixes were ready to go. With a cry from the three-legged golden crow, a huge flock of birds began to rush towards the direction of the space passage.
Endless flames burned in the starry sky, and the three-legged golden crow emitted a scorching light. All the insectoids that approached spontaneously combusted in an instant, but then even more insectoids surrounded them.
The other phoenixes followed closely behind the three-legged golden crow, constantly spewing flames in all directions to create a vacuum area, within which the Candle Dragon flickered.
"I hope it will succeed!" Ye Chen prayed as he watched the firelight gradually disappear into the interstellar space. At this moment, it seemed that all he could do was pray.
A few minutes later, two Raphael's demigods arrived, but they could only stand on the perimeter with the other members of their clan to hold off the surrounding insectoids. It was no longer possible for them to rush in and support Zhulong and the others.
The sudden dire situation plunged everyone's hearts into despair. Ye Chen and Raphael were even considering whether to continue seeking help from Hua Xiyu. The mere appearance of one insect queen had already left everyone feeling helpless. If they were allowed to continue spreading, the situation would be beyond the capabilities of a group of mid-level lords.
"Wait a little longer! Wait a little longer!" Ye Chen thought to himself, not even paying attention to the battle situation around him, his eyes fixed on the direction deep in the starry sky.
At this moment, under the protection of the three-legged golden crows and phoenixes, the Zhulong was rapidly approaching the insect queen. With the three-legged golden crows in front, none of the insect race could get close to her alive. The entire procession was like a giant fireball, advancing continuously.
It seems that the power of the three-legged golden crows and phoenixes has alarmed the insect queen, as a low noise resounded in the starry sky. This was a low-frequency vibration caused by the flapping of the insectoid wings, which could cause great mental damage to intelligent beings, and even ghost-like creatures would be affected by it.
Unfortunately, they were facing a group of birds, and each of them was a king among birds.
"Chirp~~~" As the phoenix's cry rang out, the chirping of the surrounding insects immediately subsided. Many insects even trembled because of this. This was the bloodline suppression and fear from their natural enemies. Although it was not enough to make them helpless and wait for death, it could still have a great impact. Otherwise, they would not have been able to rush in so easily.
Besides the low-frequency noise, more powerful guardian insects rushed out, but none of them could withstand the true heat of the three-legged golden crow's sun; it was just a matter of whether they burned for one second or ten seconds.
However, with the appearance of these guardian insects, the Three-Legged Golden Crow and his companions were indeed greatly hindered in their advance. Although burning them for ten seconds would kill the group of guardian insects, the surrounding defensive line shrank drastically.
Moreover, many insects were hiding behind the group of guardian insects to avoid direct exposure, and had already approached within tens of meters. This made the phoenixes hesitate about whether to continue rushing forward at the previous speed, because judging from the current situation, continuing to rush forward at that speed would likely result in them crashing directly into these insects.
"Don't slow down, charge straight ahead!" The voice of the Candle Dragon rang in the ears of the phoenixes. Upon hearing this, the three-legged golden crow burst forth with blazing flames and charged forward fearlessly to the front.
As the number of insects increased and the team accelerated, the Three-Legged Golden Crow got closer and closer to the insects in front of it. Some insects that had not yet burned out even hit it and quickly turned to ashes.
"Roar~~~" Zhulong roared, and a faint shield appeared in front of the three-legged golden crow, protecting it from the insects coming towards it.
As the group ventured deeper into the territory, the number of guardian insects increased, and their strength grew. Eventually, some living guardian insects even rushed up to the three-legged golden crow.
This is a fifth-tier guardian insect with extremely strong defense. Its sturdy armor can withstand the burning of the sun's true flames for a long time, which is why it was able to rush up to the three-legged golden crow.
Even so, the three-legged golden crow, protected by its shield, did not slow down at all. It charged forward and, with its extremely fast speed, smashed the half-burnt guardian insect in two. The mangled corpses were scattered in the starry sky and quickly burned to ashes.
These insectoid corpses are extremely afraid of fire. Even if they are not ignited, the high temperature will quickly evaporate the moisture in their bodies, causing them to lose all vitality.
Therefore, the three-legged golden crows and phoenixes were not afraid of not being able to burn them to death, but were worried about being blocked from killing the insect queen.
Fortunately, these guardian insects could not stop the phoenixes from advancing. Although their vision was blocked, they could clearly sense, and even “see”, the location of the insect queen in their spiritual sense. Her huge body was no weaker than the starry sky.
This time, however, Zhulong had no reason to hesitate. From the moment he found the Insect Mother, he began to accumulate power.
Immediately, all the Zerg around, including the Zerg Queen, felt a sudden darkness before their eyes. Then, a white light flashed through the darkness, and before they could react, a large number of Zerg had been torn apart.
Moreover, a penetrating wound began to rot on the insect queen's body, and a large amount of dark green, highly corrosive bodily fluid oozed from the wound.
"Hiss~~~" A deep and terrifying cry echoed in the starry sky. The insect queen's body suddenly began to twist wildly, but such twisting only made the wounds wider.
"Roar~~~" However, before it could continue to struggle, with a dragon's roar, another white light flashed in the darkness, and a brand new wound appeared on the insect queen's body, which quickly expanded.
The massive insectoid body rapidly split into several pieces under the two attacks, and the queen's aura quickly weakened, causing the entire insectoid race in the starry sky to pause in shock...
