Just as Chen Gu fled, the ovary-like organ on the Space Wolf Insect's back ejected a thick blast from its acid energy cannon!
Struck by Chen Gu's blade, the Space Wolf Insect, in sheer agony, fired an acid energy cannon at him without hesitation!
But Chen Gu was standing on its back, so the shot missed him and landed squarely on the creature's own neck.
Instantly, half of the Space Wolf Insect's neck was obliterated by its own acid energy cannon!
Already grievously wounded and now struck in a vital area, the Space Wolf Insect stopped moving. Soon, it became a corpse drifting in the Star Sea...
Dou Zhanqiong had killed two Sky-Snatching Arachnid Insects amidst the fight but was being rather miserably chased by a Space Wolf Insect. He turned his head only to see that far off in the starry sky, Chen Gu had killed a Space Wolf Insect!
Even if it was wounded, it was still a Space Wolf Insect, and the entire process seemed utterly effortless. In summary: the Space Wolf Insect, unwilling to be ridden by Chen Gu, got so enraged that it finished itself off!
It truly embodied the principle: "The Insect Race will never be slaves!"
Dou Zhanqiong also had achievements in killing Space Wolf Insects, but those were all flukes. The Star Armor's advantage over Space Wolf Insects lay in its agility; by coordinating, Mechas could hunt the massive Space Wolf Insects. However, when facing one alone, a Mecha could only gain a slight advantage and then retreat, making a kill very difficult.
He couldn't help but mutter, "This guy... he's really something."
Chen Gu cursed the Space Wolf Insect's corpse for its stupidity and proceeded to look for his next target.
This time, Chen Gu got even closer to a Giant Bubble Flyer. A wounded Space Wolf Insect was about to fly back to it—that was his target!
Chen Gu chased after it. As if sensing a threat from his close proximity, the Giant Bubble Flyer's cavity doors opened again, releasing dozens of Sky-Snatching Arachnid Insects.
The Sky-Snatching Arachnid Insects were on a mission; they charged aggressively toward Chen Gu. But Chen Gu did not evade them and continued to chase the Space Wolf Insect through their ranks!
In a very short time, the swarm of Sky-Snatching Arachnid Insects and the Space Wolf Insect crossed paths, and Chen Gu crashed headlong into the arachnid swarm!
Dou Zhanqiong shook his head. "Why do you have to be so reckless..." he muttered. He just charged out of one insect swarm only to plunge straight into another!
But Dou Zhanqiong soon saw that within the Sky-Snatching Arachnid Insect swarm, the glow of the flame chainsaw would flash, or a triple-barrel rotating energy cannon would fire. With each instance, a Sky-Snatching Arachnid Insect became a corpse.
Chen Gu's "Radiation Field" had a range of only fifty meters, which was perfect for dealing with the smaller Sky-Snatching Arachnid Insects. Up close, Chen Gu could narrowly dodge their lunges and clearly identify the weakest parts of their bodies, striking them dead in a single blow!
This skirmish didn't last long. After Chen Gu had killed more than a dozen Sky-Snatching Arachnid Insects in succession, he burst out of the swarm and continued his pursuit of the Space Wolf Insect.
Behind him, the remaining Sky-Snatching Arachnid Insects, having lost more than half their kin, cluelessly continued the chase.
This was the terrifying aspect of the Insect Race. If it were two human armies clashing and Chen Gu had killed half the enemy warriors in a single charge, ninety-nine percent of armies in the world would collapse on the spot. They would have absolutely no courage left to continue the pursuit.
Chen Gu accelerated and, using a technique from the "Ancient Martial Arts Nine Forms," leaped onto this Space Wolf Insect's back. However, he didn't strike immediately; there was still some distance between the Space Wolf Insect and the Giant Bubble Flyer.
The Space Wolf Insect twisted its body violently, trying everything to throw Chen Gu off.
It dared not use its acid energy cannon because of the precedent set by its recently killed kin.
But Chen Gu leaped deftly on its back, dodging the Space Wolf Insect's huge and sharp legs, all the while calculating the time.
The pursuing Sky-Snatching Arachnid Insects gradually caught up. Chen Gu couldn't afford to be disturbed by them, so he activated his triple-barrel rotating energy cannon in a chaotic barrage. Its efficiency was greatly reduced compared to before, and while he failed to kill a single Sky-Snatching Arachnid Insect, he effectively halted their approach.

Then, looking at the Giant Bubble Flyer close at hand, Chen Gu unhesitatingly sliced a colossal wound into the Space Wolf Insect's back. At the same time, something was released from his Star Armor, falling into the wound.
Chen Gu revved up his engines and turned to flee.
The doubly wounded Space Wolf Insect desperately rushed back into the Giant Bubble Flyer, while Chen Gu cranked his engine power to maximum, fleeing for his life!
The Sky-Snatching Arachnid Insects chasing him couldn't comprehend why their prey, which had valiantly charged at them moments ago, was now only intent on escaping. Nevertheless, they pursued without hesitation. Chen Gu was overjoyed. He had a group of meat shields behind him now!
What he had thrown into the Space Wolf Insect's wound was the piece of remains bought from Wu Minzhe, also known as "Steam Locomotive."
These were the remains of a super life-form, which Chen Gu used to trigger a "Biological Nuclear Explosion." Honestly, even Chen Gu himself didn't know how powerful it would be.
After his ascension to the Second Energy Level, his control over the "Biological Nuclear Explosion" had greatly increased, allowing him to delay the blast for some time. This was Chen Gu's first time using this delayed function, however, and he had no idea exactly how long he could delay it.
Therefore, after planting the bomb, Chen Gu fled for dear life.
At the same time, Chen Gu issued a command to all Mecha pilots over the communication channel: "Retreat! All units, full retreat!"
Ordinary Mecha pilots were confused. Who is this guy? What right does he have to order us around?
Dou Zhanqiong and his two comrades knew Chen Gu had succeeded. Although Dou Zhanqiong still harbored some doubts, he issued the order as their company commander, "All units, retreat!"
All the Mecha pilots immediately abandoned the fight and flew towards the mothership.
Just as Chen Gu reached the designated "rendezvous" point with the mixed swarm of Space Wolf Insects and Sky-Snatching Arachnid Insects he had encountered earlier, the super life-form's remains he had thrown into the Space Wolf Insect's wound exploded...
In this era, when people thought of "grand fireworks," their first reaction was no longer the nuclear bombs of Chen Gu's original time. The era depicted in certain countries' films, where monsters and aliens were invariably dealt with by throwing nuclear bombs, was truly gone forever. Besides, aliens aren't like the simplistic foes from those old movies.
The first thing that came to mind for people of this era when thinking of grand fireworks was the Antimatter Bomb.
But this didn't mean that the power of a nuclear blast couldn't meet the standards of "grand fireworks"—for instance, the "Biological Nuclear Explosion" Chen Gu created this time using the remains of a super life-form!
The Giant Bubble Flyer itself was already immensely large, even surpassing humanity's current highest-grade motherships. If this were the era of mother planets, a single Giant Bubble Flyer would far exceed the size of a certain island country. In the Star Sea, it could rival a small asteroid.
The moment the "Biological Nuclear Explosion" occurred, the colossal creature's body suddenly shook, as if it had eaten something bad and was struck by a sudden, sharp pang of pain.
Then, intense light burst forth from within the Giant Bubble Flyer. Initially, it was just a few beams percolating through the weaker parts of its massive body. This was followed by a massive eruption of light from within, completely illuminating the Giant Bubble Flyer and rendering it translucent!
