Chapter 439: Chapter 221: You Are Too Weak

As the core of the Alien Insect Race, the Alien Insect Nest possessed an incredibly powerful incubation ability and the power to exert Spirit control over a massive area.

It could remotely control all the Alien Insects under its command. For the more powerful ones, their range of Spirit control could even cover an entire plane.

To a certain extent, the Alien Insect Nest, like races such as the Mind Flayers, followed a Spirit-based path.

And these types of creatures often shared a common weakness: their physical defenses were extremely weak.

Facing the scorching lightning descending from the sky, the Nest, having lost the protection of the Alien Insects, could only futilely spit out some slime and let out a piercing, desperate shriek.

The next moment, with a loud BOOM, a violent explosion completely engulfed it!

At that instant, all the Alien Insects on the battlefield paused in unison. Immediately after, they began scurrying around like headless chickens, shrieking incessantly, their previously orderly offensive completely gone.

The demise of the Alien Insect Nest caused the entire swarm to break down, like a human who had lost their self-awareness.

The Magical Creatures and Tower Spirit 2 seized the opportunity to intensify their assault, easily shattering the Alien Insects’ formation.

With the war having reached this stage, the outcome was already perfectly clear. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

All that remained was a one-sided slaughter.

Without so much as a glance at the battlefield, Pei Ze gave a casual wave of his hand. A fierce wind instantly swept away the nearby smoke and dust, revealing the carcass of the Alien Insect Nest.

Out of ’concern’ for a high-value treasure, he had deliberately controlled his power in that last strike, managing to kill the Alien Insect Nest precisely without causing too much damage to its carcass.

Thus, aside from being somewhat charred, the Alien Insect Nest’s carcass was basically undamaged.

Only the Insect Core, located deep within the Nest, had already shattered into dust.

Pei Ze took out an empty dimensional bag, put the Alien Insect Nest inside, and only then turned to look elsewhere.

Tining had already finished off one Blood-winged Insect. The other was covered in wounds; its death was only a matter of time.

Also a fourth-level being, the Half Deer Maiden’s power was far greater than that of a creature like the Blood-winged Insect, which ranked at the very bottom of the fourth level.

Back then, she had held out for a long time while besieged by three Fourth-level Powerhouses—Owlwood, the Flame-toothed Giant Elephant, and the Rainbow Tree Rope Demon. Dealing with two Blood-winged Insects now was all too easy for her.

Wuyu also had the upper hand.

Under the corrosion of the Power of Death, its opponent was already a spent force.

Pei Ze watched for a few moments but had no intention of helping. Instead, he turned and began to clear the remaining Alien Insects from the battlefield.

With him taking action, the rate at which the swarm was annihilated accelerated significantly.

Although the Alien Insects, now free from the Nest’s control, remained fearless and showed no intention of fleeing, they had fallen into disarray and were completely unable to organize an effective counterattack.

Before long, the swarm on the battlefield was completely wiped out.

Pei Ze gave Tower Spirit 1 the order to clean up the battlefield, then went to stand before Cameron.

"Lord Pei Ze!"

Cameron bowed, his face filled with reverence.

"Gather your people. Prepare to migrate."

After leaving this sentence, Pei Ze flew off decisively toward the mountain forest.

He could sense Leiot’s presence in that direction.

Cameron only straightened up after Pei Ze had flown far into the distance, and he began to gather his companions to return to their home.

While Pei Ze and Cameron were talking, Rashim and Gonzalo stood quietly to the side. They didn’t dare to interrupt, terrified of angering this formidable powerhouse who could single-handedly crush the Alien Insect Race.

Only after Pei Ze had left could they no longer contain their curiosity.

"Cameron, what is all this? Do you know that Lord Wizard?"

"And what’s this about migrating?"

Cameron shot them a look and snorted coldly. "It’s none of your business."

He remembered with perfect clarity how Rashim and Gonzalo had been about to abandon them and flee. Still furious, he had no desire to engage with the two of them.

Besides, the matter of leaving the plane couldn’t be discussed casually. Otherwise, there was no telling what schemes those two might cook up.

’Although with Lord Pei Ze around, it’s not like they could cause any real trouble anyway.’

Shut down by Cameron, Rashim and Gonzalo seethed with resentment but didn’t dare let it show.

That powerful Wizard clearly had a deep connection to the fey race; they wouldn’t dare offend him.

Once Cameron was a good distance away, the two huddled together, whispering.

"Cameron is obviously hiding something."

"You heard the Wizard. Cameron and his people are preparing to migrate. Chances are, they’re planning to follow that Wizard off this plane!"

Gonzalo’s eyes flickered with uncertainty.

Any other time, he would have dismissed the idea of the fey race leaving the plane.

After all, the fey race relied entirely on Leiot for support. As powerful as the Golden Oak Tree was, it didn’t have the ability to lead tens of thousands of fey away from the plane.

But things were different now.

Wizards were notorious throughout the Multiverse as frequent plane-travelers. What’s more, a Wizard Tower was hovering high in the sky right now, leaving it no room for doubt.

At this thought, Gonzalo’s mind began to race.

It had all but given up hope, but now a new chance for survival had appeared.

That Wizard was, without a doubt, the last hope for its people’s survival.

He looked over at Rashim, who was floating silently in place, and figured it was probably thinking the same thing.

...

When Pei Ze saw Leiot again, he was slightly taken aback by its appearance.

Its once-lush golden canopy had thinned considerably, and its color was noticeably duller.

Moreover, the surface of its enormous trunk was covered with a dense network of cracks.

"You’re injured," Pei Ze said, frowning.

"It’s nothing serious." Leiot’s deep, resonant voice held a trace of relief. "Now that you’re here, I can rest easy."
