Bai Yunpeng immediately asked, "How long until the fleet arrives?"
"At least three and a half hours," Bai Xianya replied instantly—she had been closely monitoring the situation with the reinforcement fleet.
Bai Yunpeng gritted his teeth and said, "The Blazing Mammoth Bugs move slowly. It will take them more than an hour to reach the battlefield. If only they can hold on… there's still a chance."
But no sooner had Bai Yunpeng's words fallen than another twist occurred on the screen.
Countless fierce mosquito bugs flew back from all directions. Hundreds, thousands of them together lifted a Blazing Mammoth Bug and flew towards the battlefield!
The Central Operations Room fell instantly silent!
On the cave battleground, the fight continued fiercely.
Insects fell en masse, and the defensive line formed by the giant-carapaced bugs had been breached in several places. On the human side, they also suffered casualties from time to time due to explosive pods and spikes.
Fortunately, they still had sufficient reserves at the moment. As soon as one warrior fell, another immediately took their place.
Andrew burst into laughter, shouting as he kept firing, "Damn bugs, come on, come on, I'll kill you all!"
Chen Gu remained very calm. The insects that had appeared so far were not difficult to deal with, but the Insect Race's lineage was vast; there would be more than these creatures.
Suddenly, a huge buzzing noise came from the fierce battlefield above, and several black spots appeared in the sky.
As they drew closer, Andrew stared in shock, "Blazing Mammoth Bugs!"
"Quick, quick, quick... prepare the personal missiles!"
Jin Yongyuan shook his head in despair, "Personal missiles can't kill Blazing Mammoth Bugs..." Orıginal content can be found at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩
Andrew roared, "If one missile doesn't kill, then two! If two don't work, then three! I refuse to believe we can't breach their shells!"
Jin Yongyuan didn't speak further. He waved his hand, and the warriors moved all the personal missiles they had—a total of thirty-seven.
Andrew looked outside. There were at least fifty Blazing Mammoth Bugs, and his face turned deathly pale.
The fierce mosquito bugs, beyond the range of the personal missiles, settled the Blazing Mammoth Bugs in the distance on the battlefield.
Andrew had been holding a personal missile, planning a sneak aerial attack to make the Blazing Mammoth Bugs fall to their deaths. That plan was now ruined. He slumped, lowering the missile and cursing viciously.
Chen Gu narrowed his eyes. He quietly set his energy assault rifle to the side, exited Griffin Wester's memory, and switched to Derek Kun Shen.
"This is an opportunity!" Chen Gu suddenly said.
Andrew laughed heartily, hugging Chen Gu tightly and loudly saying, "Right you are!"
Then, he whispered in Chen Gu's ear, "I know you won't give up, wanting to stabilize morale..."
Chen Gu shook his head, interrupting him, "This may well be an opportunity."
He drew the Riverwash Sword from his backpack, went to a firing port, glanced outside with his body angled, and then cross-referenced the view with the electronic eye's display.
Fifty Blazing Mammoth Bugs had already rushed to the back of the swarm. The massive swarm was squeaking wildly, opening up several passages to let the enormous Blazing Mammoth Bugs pass through.
The bugs were jostling each other, and the slower Spine Sprayers and Claw Fiends were even trampled to death by the Blazing Mammoth Bugs.
In the cave, Chen Gu silently closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He knew the task he was about to undertake was extremely dangerous, even surpassing the previous battles in the Star Sea!
Suddenly, Andrew felt an odd ripple near him, pushing him back again and again. Then, with his eyes wide and his mouth agape, he watched as faint blue energy ripples emanated from around Chen Gu and then, with a quick inward pull, vanished along with Chen Gu in the blink of an eye!
"Professionals are really magical..." he muttered, but then he slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Where the hell did this guy go?!"
There were other warriors beside Andrew, who didn't know the secrets of professionals. They looked in amazement at the spot where Chen Gu had disappeared. Andrew turned around and pursed his lips, saying, "Don't ask too many questions. The masters are different from us."
In the midst of the vast swarm, circles of oval-shaped energy fluctuations suddenly appeared in midair. Directly below, a Claw Fiend felt very uncomfortable, howled, and looked up to see something falling from the sky, smashing its head right into its body.
Chen Gu had landed in the dense sea of insects!
He cursed his bad luck internally. He attempted to use Quantum Teleportation to transport himself directly onto a Blazing Mammoth Bug, but given the rapid pace at which the Blazing Mammoth Bugs were moving, his landing point was still inaccurate. Looking up, he saw a Blazing Mammoth Bug about a dozen meters in front of him.
The surrounding bugs were stunned for a moment and then rushed over without hesitation.
Chen Gu shifted to the memories of Milna Katerina and swung the Riverwash Sword with all his might, activating the Nuclear Combat Technique.
A stream of nuclear flame surged from the Riverwash Sword, sending the bugs around it screaming in agony.
With a push from his feet, the ground beneath him cratered, and he sprang into the air. A distance of a dozen meters was instantaneous for a Second Energy Level professional.
But this time, Chen Gu was facing the Alien Insect Race. His pride in his physical prowess was not so impressive in the face of these huge bugs.
The moment he leaped into the air, swarms of Claw Fiends reacted. Their bodies sprang up, matching Chen Gu's speed and lunging towards Chen Gu from all directions.
Huge scythe-like claws surrounded Chen Gu, leaving no room to escape. As soon as he fell, Chen Gu would become a heap of mangled corpses, then the fodder for the Claw Fiends below.
This scene was transmitted back to the Central Operations Room, where Bai Xianya couldn't help but cry out in shock. Chen Jixian's anxiety caused his eyelids to suddenly shoot up. Even Aviloya couldn't help but clench her fists secretly.
However, in the next moment, Chen Gu's Riverwash Sword erupted with six massive crimson sword flames, shooting out dozens of meters, spinning and intertwining to carve and scorch all the Claw Fiends that had come at him!
The carcasses of insects rained down. Meanwhile, Chen Gu, using the Nuclear Combat Technique, defied biological laws. He accelerated in midair and lunged towards the Blazing Mammoth Bug for a second time.
But the Claw Fiends below continued to rush up fearlessly, obstructing Chen Gu layer by layer.
As Chen Gu continued to slay Claw Fiends in midair, he suddenly sensed an intense throb through his Mind Belief ability.
He dropped sharply, crashing onto the ground and crushing several Claw Fiends to death.
From a distance, Spine Sprayers were already shooting a barrage of spines. If Chen Gu had still been in the air, entangled by the Claw Fiends, he would have been an easy target.
But now, those densely packed spines, indiscriminate of friend or foe, turned a group of Claw Fiends into pincushions!
