Protect Our Clan Leader

The warfront.

Within the camp of the Barbarian Gu Clan, the most luxurious and imposing tent was naturally the Central Military Tent. However, besides the Central Military Tent, there was another special tent that was extraordinarily large.

The guard around that tent was extremely strict, and even the tent was adorned with mysterious runes that flickered with a faint light, clearly indicating the presence of a Formation.

At the entrance of the tent.

Members of the Barbarian Gu Clan were constantly carrying various Fierce Beast corpses, felled trees, and fodder into the tent.

Inside the tent, a massive pitch-black insect was continuously opening and closing its enormous mouth as it quickly devoured the various nutrients being brought to it.

It appeared extremely ugly, resembling a jet-black, plump, fleshy worm, exuding an uncomfortable, dangerous aura and energy fluctuations from its entire body.

As it chewed the food with large bites, its enormous and plump tail was slightly wriggling and twitching, rapidly producing egg after egg.

The eggs quickly hatched, and one larva after another emerged from them.

It was as if there were invisible hands manipulating them from behind; as soon as they landed, they instinctively began devouring the eggshells. After consuming the shells, their bodies instantly became sturdier, more hideous, and fierce, their movements swifter.

They began to organize themselves and march out in disciplined lines, assembling on the frontline and then joining the battle under the leadership of advanced warrior insects.

These newly born insect warriors still remained low-level, but they had the combat power of the Early Stage Vital Energy Refining Realm of the human race, roughly equivalent to a Level One spiritual insect.

Even in the face of overwhelming numbers, even Level Three, Four, or even Five Fierce Beasts couldn’t withstand the impact of the insect horde, ultimately falling and becoming nourishment for the growing swarm.

The most remarkable thing was the rapid growth rate of these insects. As long as there was abundant nutrition, they could quickly evolve into Level Two, Level Three, or even higher-level insects.

One Fierce Beast after another fell to the siege of the swarm, which was meticulously distributing the spoils, rapidly feasting on the corpses of the Fierce Beasts and their companions.

A significant portion of the materials was transported back to the “nest” to supply the Insect Tribe Queen for producing more offspring, while another portion was digested on the spot to improve the swarm’s strength.

The longer the battle waged, the stronger the swarm grew.

In the sky above the battlefield, Wang Luo Jing, clad in a black Gu Master robe, walked barefoot through the air, her robe billowing fiercely in the wind.

On her smooth, jade-like ankle, a silver chain held an Insect Bell that chimed crisply as her Mysterious Energy swelled.

In her right hand, she held a worm flute shaped like jade, and as she played, the melodious sound spread across the battlefield.

On the ground, the insect swarm surged forward like ocean tides, launching a ferocious attack. At the forefront of the horde, several advanced warrior insects at Level Ten led the charge with a fierce, suicidal demeanor.

Encircled at the center of the insect tide was the White Jade Rhinoceros King and its trusted aides.

They were deeply trapped in the encirclement, unable to break free no matter what, forced into a desperate last stand.

As the battle continued, numerous insects perished, yet more surged forth.

Gradually, the White Jade Rhinoceros King found itself with fewer and fewer subordinates, its massive white jade rhinoceros body covered in insects, appearing increasingly dire.

Unbeknownst to them, the grim battle raged on for over two hours.

No one knew how many insects had been killed, nor how many times they approached complete destruction, but the White Jade Rhinoceros King finally exhausted its last breath and collapsed with a thunderous crash.

The power group of the White Jade Rhinoceros King, which had occupied the area for thousands of years, was thereby declared annihilated.

The insects began systematically cleaning the battlefield, and before long, some of the most valuable items were brought before Wang Luo Jing, with large heaps of loot piling up like a mountain.

This is the insect tribe—cold and terrifying.

The Void Queen that Wang Luo Jing had tamed was hatched from a Void Queen egg.

The origin of this queen egg was rather straightforward. It was one of the spoils obtained after Immortal Emperor Muyun led an exploration of the Southern Brilliance Sect’s Little Heavenly Abode and eliminated a Void insect group hiding outside a secluded spot there.

This item held little utility for the Line of the Immortal Emperor. Wang Shouzhe spent some resources to trade it from Yun Tiange’s hands and assigned it to her, deducting Luo Jing’s Contribution Points.

Wang Luo Jing didn’t disappoint her fourth brother’s expectations. After spending some time studying it, she successfully hatched the Void Queen and tamed it into her spiritual insect.

Because of the Void Queen’s characteristic, controlling the queen was akin to commanding an entire army single-handedly.

Consequently, Wang Luo Jing’s combat power skyrocketed.

With ample resource supply, this queen had already grown to Level Eleven, and through warfare and natural selection, the strongest offspring she produced had reached Level Nine and Ten.

The growth rate astounded even Wang Luo Jing.

However, this was also a characteristic of the insect tribe. These Void creatures were a typical predatory species—if provided with endless resources, they would rapidly strengthen, growing at a terrifying, exponential rate.

Yet, if resources became scarce and insufficient, the insects would fall into internal strife. With a stroke of bad luck, an entire tribe might be wiped out. However, if fortune favored them, all energy would be consumed by the queen, who would seal its vitality and fall dormant, ready to awaken when nearing a resource-rich area.
