“Noise”

The Night Winter Clan leader continually unleashed Ice Attacks, instantly clearing the surrounding insect horde before striding up to the dead Flying Dragon Insect and taking from its corpse the World Will Crystal.

Upon obtaining the Crystal, the Commander felt the energy within and couldn’t help but flash a hint of greed in his eyes.

However, the greed soon faded, and he strode back to stand before Armand.

“Master, this is the World Will Crystal guarded by the Corpse Beast.”

With both hands, he offered up the World Will Crystal, his tone exceedingly respectful. In the hierarchy of the Night Winter Clan, he could not possibly covet such a resource.

“The third one.”

Armand clasped the World Will Crystal in his palm, then began to draw from its power continuously.

He spoke with a tone of dissatisfaction, having searched for so long, the World Will Crystal he found was only the third. The progress was too slow.

“Master, we lack manpower, and the Fragment Continent suppresses spirit and Spiritual Energy, preventing us from exploring on a large scale.”

The Night Winter Clan was not a weak race in the Great Blood Sea, but they did not reproduce as quickly as the Zerg or the Lizardmen, especially after the sudden discovery of the Zerg, Armand grew even more anxious.

“Summon our clan members to follow the traces of those insects and find the Corpse Beasts.”

The Fourth-Order Commander looked sharply at Armand, hesitant. “But, Master, if we rashly wage war on the Zerg, won’t we more easily make enemies?”

Armand’s cold gaze swept over, causing the Night Winter Clan Commander to shudder.

“And which race can coexist peacefully with the Abyssal Insect Race?”

Armand said coldly, “Other monarchs will arrive one after another, but what we need to do now is gather more World Will Crystals at any cost.”

“Yes, we understand.”

The Fourth-Order Commander nodded quickly and then immediately set about summoning the dispersed Night Winter Clan teams to shift their target.

It’s not easy to find a single Corpse Beast, but a gathering of Zerg is much easier to locate.

“If only I had Sixth-Order strength…”

Armand murmured to himself, his words full of frustration. If he had the power of a Sixth Order, then everything on this Fragment Continent would be his.

Whether it was the World Will Crystals or the world relics, they would all belong to him.

But at present, he was only a Fifth-order Great Demon in strength, merely a monarch in his clan, and above the monarchs were the Night Winter Kings who ruled larger areas of the sea and held more sway in the Night Winter Clan.

Faced with the Undead Race, the Lizardmen Clan, and the suddenly appeared Abyssal Insect Race, and considering the fluctuating Fragment Continent, more Fifth-Order beings would converge in this area.

Without the help of others, they would gain nothing.

Before more people fought for resources, he needed to obtain more World Will Crystals to lay the foundation for his breakthrough to the Sixth Order.

…

“Night Winter Clan?”

In the underground nest of the Fragment Continent, the moment the Void Shield Carapace Insect was killed, it had already sent out a signal, informing the Queen of Insect Tans about what had happened.

Having his goods stolen, Su Han naturally felt displeased, but he had anticipated this, knowing that he was not the only one searching for Corpse Beasts and snatching World Will Crystals.

There were the Undead Race and the Night Winter Clan, and later, possibly even more Alien Races.

An encounter was inevitable, and since he had already taken the initiative by expanding the Zerg in the most challenging mountain ranges to search, he was at an advantage.

“Those who dare to steal from me will pay the price.”

Su Han was not the sort to suffer losses silently; although he had thought of using these Alien Races to find world relics, now that the conflict had erupted, there was no need to hold back.

With a single thought, the Insectoid Titan Queen immediately set off, carrying him on her back, sending out mental fluctuations. The majority of the Zerg that had been scouring the Black Mountain range received the signal.

In unison, they changed direction, heading towards the Rubble Plain, leaving only a part of the Zerg to continue searching in the area.

Su Han and the Queen of Insect Tans concealed themselves within the Zerg horde; the Eye of the Insect was quietly deployed, not only concealing his own form but also hiding the Queen of Insect Tans along with him.

“`

The swarm continuously set off, entering the Rubble Plain, Su Han, with the help of the Insectoid Titan Queen’s power, flew ahead of them to the vicinity of this plain.

Rugged with stones, the plain was full of ravines; Su Han and the Insectoid Titan Queen quietly released their psychic perception, with nearly undetectable fluctuations, to scout the situation on the plain.

Although their psychic abilities were suppressed, they could still explore within a certain range.

“Hmm? Does the Night Winter Clan intend to lay an ambush behind the mantis stalking the cicada?”

However, upon scouting, Su Han suddenly discovered something interesting: The Night Winter Clan was assembling towards the mountain ranges and the plains, with legions or tribes ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of people, all wandering in these two areas.

They did not seem to be searching for Corpse Beasts, but more like they were looking for traces of the insect swarm.

Su Han knew well now that his own swarm had been made a big target; after all, such a large number of insects would certainly be faster at finding things than other races.

A smile curled upon Su Han’s lips, and he instantly had an idea, directly conveying the next command to the swarm: Hide underground.

The Tunnel Giant Worm received the order and immediately began to burrow deeper into the soil, with a large number of insects following the command to drill underground at this time.

The Night Winter Clan forces, originally about to meet the swarm, were now grasping at straws on the plain, with only a few traces to be found and not a single insect in sight.

“Armand, all those insects have disappeared.”

The troops had mostly assembled; Edas had also gathered more than a hundred thousand of his tribespeople, but now they were met with nothing.

“Those greedy creatures wouldn’t miss out on the Will Crystals, unless they’ve discovered something even more precious.”

“What?!”

Edas wore a puzzled look: “You think the Abyssal Insect Race has found a World Relic? They have just appeared.”

“They might have arrived here sooner than us; the swarm’s control over space is stronger than that of ordinary races.”

Armand’s gaze sharpened: “King Xiluwita will be here soon, right?”

With a grave face, Edas said: “Thirty thousand tribespeople are already creating a node at the landing point to bridge the space portal, even from afar, King Xiluwita’s Great Demon Space is enough to descend here, it should take about three more days.”

“In other words, we have only three days left.”

Armand kept calm, his eyes flashing with reluctance; both knew well that once a Night Winter King arrived, the World Relic would undoubtedly be beyond their reach, and even for the Will Crystals, they would have to give up a large portion.

Edas’s gaze flickered: “What are you planning?”

“The Abyssal Insect Race wouldn’t disappear for no reason; since they are not visible here, they must have a bigger scheme. Find them, at all costs, make the tribe dig three feet into the ground.”

“Fine.”

As the two conspired, the Night Winter Clan began dispersing teams throughout the plain and near the mountains, attempting to find traces of the insect swarm.

Su Han and the Insectoid Titan Queen, hidden above the plain, were keenly aware of their movements.

He did not disappoint the Night Winter Clan; the ambush had begun.

With the Tunnel Giant Worm leading the charge, a small squad of over three thousand Night Winter Clanspeople had just reached a nearby rocky beach when they found loose soil, already guessing that the insect swarm might be hiding underground.

However, before they could investigate more carefully, a rumbling noise sounded, and the Tunnel Giant Worm burst forth from the ground, its massive body crushing a large number of Night Winter warriors.

Death and slaughter ensued.

“It’s the insect swarm, report quickly!”

Shouts mingled with icy attacks as combat erupted.

But before the Night Winter Clan could steady themselves, the ground collapsed, and a vast swarm of insects emerged, unleashing a fierce and swift attack on them.

After less than ten minutes of struggle, the three thousand Night Winter clanspeople were slaughtered, their corpses, along with those of the insects, buried underground by the upheaval of the Tunnel Giant Worm and then continuously devoured and dragged back to the hive by worker insects.

One squad, two squads, three, four…

At the same time, Su Han instructed the swarm to attack the Night Winter Clan, slaughtering their people, casting fear instantaneously across the entire plain.

A torrent of fear, madness, and despair slowly spread as he quietly absorbed these energies, biding his time, observing the movements of the two Fifth-order Night Winter monarchs.

It was a hunt.
