Chapter 438 - 220: Alien Insect Nest 2

Chapter 438: Chapter 220: Alien Insect Nest 2

And the Blood-winged Insect was a type of Level 4 Alien Insect.

Pei Ze’s expression remained unchanged; he simply stared fixedly ahead.

Without needing his command, Tower Spirit No. 2 had already directed the Spell Towers to switch targets, aiming them at a Blood-winged Insect from afar.

With a low hum, a hundred golden beams converged like blazing meteors, firing at a single Blood-winged Insect.

Facing the incoming golden light, the Blood-winged Insect shrieked. The flapping of its blood-red wings suddenly accelerated, and a thick bloody mist gushed from all over its body, enveloping it completely to form a sphere of crimson fog.

The next second, the golden beams struck the sphere of blood-red fog, but were bizarrely deflected.

Most of the shots missed, with only a few landing on the ground, blasting away some unlucky Alien Insects.

"Target detected with a spell-like ability resembling an Energy Deflection Field. Increasing energy output for the next attack."

The mechanical, icy voice of Tower Spirit No. 2 echoed in Pei Ze’s mind.

At the same time, on the first floor of the Wizard Tower, the tranquil Element Pool suddenly began to boil. The numerous golden patterns extending from it blazed brightly as rich elemental energy was frantically transmitted throughout the Wizard Tower via the Crystal Trace.

High in the sky, the Rune Array surrounding the Wizard Tower expanded in size out of thin air, its light growing ever more dazzling.

HUM!

Another hundred golden beams shot out!

This time, however, the golden beams were more than twice as thick as before. When they struck the sphere of blood-red fog, it boiled violently and vaporized at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly revealing the Blood-winged Insect’s body.

"SKREEE!"

Following a mournful cry that was cut short, the Blood-winged Insect was quickly engulfed by the golden light, vaporizing and disappearing in an instant.

Watching this scene unfold, Cameron, Rashim, and Gonzalo all drew in a sharp, cold breath in unison.

A moment ago, when they saw the golden light being deflected by the Blood-winged Insect, they had been a little worried.

Now, it seemed their worries were completely unfounded.

"It can kill a Level 4 Alien Insect in one shot... Is this a Wizard Tower from the Star Realm Alliance?" Rashim muttered.

Gonzalo couldn’t help but swallow, his gaze toward the Wizard Tower filled with awe.

Seeing is believing.

No matter how many times they had heard about the terror and power of a Wizard Tower, it was nothing compared to the shock of witnessing it firsthand.

And just as they were reeling in shock, the Wizard Tower made its next move.

With a flash of blue and white light, ten tall, burly golems, their bodies covered in lightning patterns, abruptly appeared in the sky.

After a brief pause, the ten golems charged toward the ground in unison, landing like meteors in the dense insect swarm.

BOOM!

Blazing lightning erupted, and countless electric serpents rampaged outward, turning a vast number of Alien Insects to charcoal.

With the Thunder God Golems joining the battle, the intensity of the war instantly rose to another level.

The combat capability of a Thunder God Golem was equivalent to half a Level 4 Element Wizard, making it a completely overwhelming force against ordinary Alien Insects.

Even the Golden Light Insects couldn’t withstand a casual bolt of lightning from them.

The only things on the battlefield capable of stopping them, the Blood-winged Insects, were busy dealing with the focused fire from the Spell Towers.

On the battlefield, the Thunder God Golems had become weapons of slaughter, efficiently reaping the lives of one group of Alien Insects after another.

In a short time, just ten Thunder God Golems held back an Alien Insect Army of over one hundred thousand.

Rashim and Gonzalo watched, utterly amazed.

"SKREEE!"

Another short, mournful cry.

High in the sky, the last Blood-winged Insect was annihilated by the Spell Towers’ focused fire.

After eliminating the primary threats, Tower Spirit No. 2 began to sweep through the ordinary Alien Insects.

The scales of victory quickly tipped in favor of the Magical Creatures.

"WOOOO!"

Suddenly, a long, desolate howl echoed from the distance.

The moment the sound rang out, the insect swarm on the battlefield froze in unison. Then, without hesitation, they abandoned their enemies and turned to leave. They ignored the attacks landing on them, retreating like a tide in a neat and orderly fashion.

The Magical Creatures were stunned for a moment, then began to cheer.

They had won!

The Alien Insects were retreating!

But then they were stunned into silence again, watching as the Wizard Tower in the sky decisively pursued the retreating swarm.

"Pei Ze?"

On the Stargazing Platform, Tining looked at Pei Ze in confusion.

He smiled faintly. "The Alien Insects operate as a hive society. One Alien Insect Nest represents an entire Alien Insect Race."

"And even the lowest-level Alien Insect Nest can easily hatch a million Alien Insects."

"But as you just saw, there were no more than two hundred thousand Alien Insects on the battlefield, at most."

"There are two possible reasons for this. Either this Alien Insect Race suffered heavy casualties in a previous war and hasn’t recovered, or the Alien Insect Nest itself has been severely damaged."

"Either way, this is the perfect opportunity to take out the Alien Insect Nest."

Understanding dawned on Tining’s face, and she said eagerly, "Then I’ll help too."

Pei Ze smiled and nodded, feeling quite pleased.

’An Alien Insect Nest is an extremely valuable treasure.’

’Many Wizards who specialize in biological modification would want the corpse of an Alien Insect Nest as research material.’

’If I could get my hands on the corpse of an Alien Insect Nest, even a low-level one, selling it for three to four hundred thousand Magic Crystal Stones would be no problem at all.’

’That’s enough money for me to create forty or fifty more Thunder God Golems.’

Pei Ze could almost see a huge pile of Magic Crystal Stones waving at him, and the smile on his face deepened.

At this moment, upon discovering that the Wizard Tower was in relentless pursuit and even seemed to be approaching the Alien Insect Nest, the Alien Insects reacted as if their hornet’s nest had been poked. They immediately stopped their retreat and frantically swarmed toward the Wizard Tower, trying to stop it.

Unfortunately, under the combined annihilation from the Spell Towers and the Thunder God Golems, their efforts were futile—they were simply throwing their lives away.

The Wizard Tower plowed through the swarm like a war chariot, approaching the Alien Insects’ position with slow but steady speed.

Soon, countless densely packed, pyramid-shaped ’sand mounds’ appeared in their field of view.

Pei Ze’s gaze swept past the ’sand mounds’. ’These are just decoy nests for the Alien Insect Nest, meant to confuse the enemy and hide the true body.’

’Unfortunately, in the face of the Eye of Omniscience, all attempts at concealment are futile.’

With a single sweep of his gaze, Pei Ze quickly located the main body of the Alien Insect Nest.

The next moment, a hundred golden beams thundered toward the Nest’s location.

"SKREEE!"

A Blood-winged Insect suddenly leaped out, positioning itself in front of the golden beams and blocking all of them at the cost of its own vaporization.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

More Blood-winged Insects appeared one after another—more than ten of them—and charged toward the Wizard Tower, heedless of their own lives.

Now that its main body had been discovered, the Alien Insect Nest was clearly panicking, immediately deploying all its available forces.

At the same time, the surrounding Alien Insects grew even more frenzied, scrambling over one another to rush the Wizard Tower.

"Warning: Element Pool energy at 3.27%. Engaging reserve power."

"Reserve power engaged."

"At the current combat intensity, remaining energy is projected to be depleted in twenty-three minutes and fifty-four seconds."

The voice of Tower Spirit No. 1 rang out.

Pei Ze shook his head.

’The Wizard Tower might have seemed impressive before, easily repelling the Alien Insect Army, but the price was a massive consumption of energy.’

’And now, under the Alien Insects’ suicidal, cost-be-damned attacks, although the Maze Locking Protective Energy Field wasn’t in danger of being breached, its energy consumption was skyrocketing.’

Pei Ze knew he couldn’t drag this out any longer. He made a swift decision, cast the Teleportation Technique, and appeared outside the Wizard Tower with Tining.

"Let’s move!"

Pei Ze’s body instantly became translucent, lightning surging within him as he shot toward the Alien Insect Nest like a bolt of electricity.

Tining was a step behind, following closely.

Four Blood-winged Insects charged over, attempting to intercept Pei Ze.

Tining let out a sharp cry. The antlers on her head flashed with light that fell upon two of the Blood-winged Insects. A series of CRACKs was heard as the two insects’ bodies rapidly petrified, forcing them to stop and use their blood mist to counter the effect.

At the same time, a black mist shot out silently from Pei Ze’s body, transforming mid-air into a jet-black crow that engulfed one Blood-winged Insect with a thick aura of death.

In the blink of an eye, only a single, lone Blood-winged Insect remained in front of Pei Ze.

Pei Ze’s expression was indifferent. Countless bolts of blazing lightning instantly erupted from his body, pouring toward the Blood-winged Insect like an endless stream.

His elementalization progress was now close to 30%, and since he had always advanced and broken through with perfect standards, his power far surpassed that of other Wizards at the same level.

In terms of pure combat power, he definitely ranked in the upper-middle tier among Level 4s. Dealing with a mere Blood-winged Insect couldn’t be simpler.

In less than a minute, the Blood-winged Insect blocking his path was reduced to charcoal, falling to the ground with wisps of green smoke.

Pei Ze didn’t spare it a glance, his eyes fixed directly on the ’sand mound’ not far away, a slight smile playing on his lips.

BOOM!

A bolt of lightning, so dazzling it was blinding, struck down with immense force!
