Chapter 2620: Total Annihilation or Rise

The sky was covered in dark clouds, and faint rumbling thunder could be heard. Compared to this wrath of nature, the razed mountain area below had turned into a purgatory.

Mountains could no longer be seen near the hive. The creep, which affected three kilometers, was laid on the ground, like several layers of light green spider webs spread on the earth.

A total of 43,200 Demon Beasts were distributed around the hive, forming a ring defense with a diameter of 2,000 meters to defend against the Tiger Bee clansmen rushing from all directions.

On the front line, a Demon Beast was facing the siege of three Tiger Bee clansmen, its blood splattering as it was slashed by the Tiger Bee clansmen's armored blades. If one compared individual combat power, the Demon Beast was weaker than the Tiger Bee clansman. The former was a fifth-stage elite Zerg, while the latter was a seventh-stage combat creature. Comparing them in all aspects, the gap in combat power was not small.

The Demon Beast's claws grabbed the head of a Tiger Bee clansman tightly, and its nearly three-meter-long whip tail hooked, the spike at the end sinking into the neck of the Tiger Bee clansman. However, it only sank in less than five centimeters before being stuck by the Tiger Bee clansman's tough body, not to mention that the Tiger Bee clansman also had outer armor.

Psh, psh...

The three Tiger Bee clansmen slashed wildly with their nearly one-meter-long armored blades, slashing a Demon Beast to pieces. For a Demon Beast, there was no concept of serious injury; as long as it didn't completely lose its mobility, the battle wasn't over.

After the Tiger Bee clansmen rushing from the surroundings completed their first round of charges, a large number of Demon Beasts forming the ring defense fell. At this rate, it might not be long before the Zerg defense line was broken.

Armored limbs flew everywhere, and shattered flesh splattered. The battlefield was like a huge meat grinder, continuously grinding up both sides of the war.

Bio-missiles struck, a total of 1,800 bio-missiles, forming a ring-shaped explosion zone on the battlefield. Acidic liquid splattered, and after coming into contact with the air, it began to burn. Everything attached to this acidic liquid would burn continuously.

The Tiger Bee clansmen in the acid flames wailed endlessly. Taking this opportunity, the Demon Beasts pounced forward, their long tails aiming straight for positions without armored defense, such as eye sockets and mouths.

Although the Leviathans were fifth-stage Zerg, their attack power was very strong. After a round of volleys, the Demon Beast defense line, which had been retreating steadily, barely stabilized.

But the good times didn't last long. As soon as the surrounding acid flames went out, the Tiger Bee clansmen began to compress the Demon Beasts' defense line again.

Among the many Tiger Bee clansmen, Ice Lord was covered in Zerg blood. Near him were two other Qiyuezhe. These were temporary teammates Ice Lord had pulled in. These two had paid a great price before finally being introduced by Ice Lord and triggering the war-type hidden mission.

"Ice Lord, are these Zerg? A hidden faction?"

"You can gain Tiger Bee faction reputation after killing them. Of course, it's a hidden faction. Could it be someone's summoned creature? Haha."

Ice Lord wiped the Zerg blood off his face, showing his "humor" in his words. He had killed four Demon Beasts and gained 623 points of Tiger Bee faction reputation. As long as the reputation reached 5,000 points, the reputation shop would open.

By then, he wouldn't have to look at Bee Queen Carol's face. Thinking of this, Ice Lord's mood turned from cloudy to sunny. However, there was one thing he couldn't figure out: why did the Zerg faction dare to attack the Tiger Bee faction?

"Don't care what faction this is, just follow the Tiger Bee clan and kill, that's it. Isn't faction reputation fragrant?"

A man with very long arms and a physique close to an ape spoke. He had paid a great price to get the information from Ice Lord to trigger the war-type hidden mission.

"Right, just kill, that's it."

Ice Lord roared and rushed forward with a short-handled axe.

The defense line formed by the Demon Beasts seemed to be retreating steadily, but in reality, from the start of the war until now, they had only retreated a dozen meters.

The Tiger Bee clansmen were stronger than the Demon Beasts in both individual combat power and quantity, especially in quantity. The Tiger Bee clansmen rushing in this wave were at least 1.1 million, completely sealing off the surrounding area and setting a posture to slaughter the Zerg.

Many Demon Beasts died, but the hive was mass-producing troops at a speed of 1,950 Demon Beasts every 2 minutes. Not only that, the hive also consumed nearly 450,000 points of biological energy to start building a second incubation tissue and cultivation sac.

Under normal circumstances, the production speed of 1,950 Demon Beasts every 2 minutes was enough, but not right now. The cultivation speed had to be doubled to reach 3,900 Demon Beasts every 2 minutes.

The fifth-stage hive was 120 meters tall and could carry at most three "incubation tissues" and "cultivation sacs," but the total consumption of 900,000 points of biological energy was too high.

570,000 points of biological energy could upgrade the hive's rank. Under normal circumstances, choosing multiple cultivation was a very losing decision, but now it was different. It was necessary to ensure the overall number of Demon Beasts and ensure that the enemy was not killing them faster than the hive could cultivate them.

With a snap, dark green blood splattered on the side of the hive. The second "incubation tissue" and "cultivation sac" entered the adult stage and could cultivate Demon Beasts.

Six temporary exits opened at the bottom of the hive, and one Demon Beast after another, whose body fluids hadn't dried yet, rushed out from these exits.

This war was no longer a question of whether the Tiger Bee clansmen could break through the Zerg defense line, but whether their speed of killing Demon Beasts was faster than the hive's cultivation speed.

When the war first started, the number of Demon Beast deaths was about 1,000 to 1,200 per minute. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the Demon Beasts were all killed. By then, Su Xiao would have to deal with the Tiger Bee clansmen rushing from the surroundings alone until he died in battle.

In the core area of the hive, in the Queen's warm room, Su Xiao sat on a wide chair built of biological tissues. Beside him was Zhila, who was naked and half-submerged in the inner wall of the hive.

"After the number of Demon Beasts exceeds 80,000, start cultivating the third 'incubation tissue' and 'cultivation sac'."

Su Xiao threw a soul crystal (small) into his mouth and chewed slowly.

"Hmm~"

Zhila released a mental wave, and all the Demon Beasts on the surrounding battlefield became violent.

The war had started. Su Xiao certainly wouldn't show himself easily, including Amu and Baja. As for Bubu Wang, he didn't need to worry about being exposed.

On the chaotic battlefield, Bee Queen Carol, standing on the back of a giant beast, frowned tightly. From just now, the Tiger Bee clansmen's advance had slowed down. The enemy seemed endless; as soon as one was killed, two would fill the gap, and after killing two, four more would fill the gap.

"In at most one shadow time, I want to see that ugly building shattered (one shadow time is approximately equal to 1 hour and 09 minutes)."

Bee Queen Carol pointed to the distant hive. Actually, she didn't have the qualification to say that. Although the hive couldn't be called beautiful, it was much more pleasing to the eye than the hive.

"As you command, Queen."

An exceptionally strong Tiger Bee clansman roared. After this roar, gold light appeared in the pupils of all Tiger Bee clansmen, and their combat power increased by a notch.

The Tiger Bee clansmen roared, and the armored blades on their arms began to slash out afterimages.

The fierce battle began. The Tiger Bee clansmen were worthy of being a combat tribe. Large numbers of Demon Beasts fell. The fifth-stage Demon Beasts had a not-small gap in comprehensive combat power compared to the Tiger Bee clansmen and could only barely support themselves by the speed of mass production.

The Tiger Bee clansmen began to advance. After compressing the battle circle by another 100 meters, the advance speed slowed down. The number of Demon Beasts was even greater.

A trace of ominous feeling emerged in Bee Queen Carol's heart. After the war started, clearly her side had an overwhelming advantage, but from the start of the war until now, nearly an hour had passed. She roughly estimated that the enemy's death toll was around 70,000. Even so, the number of enemies was increasing the more she killed, and it seemed they were about to break through 100,000.

Bee Queen Carol hadn't discovered that the hive in front had grown a bit taller unknowingly. The third incubation tissue and cultivation sac had entered the adult stage. At this time, the hive could cultivate 5,850 Demon Beasts every 2 minutes. ===== CHAPTER 2621 =====
