Chapter 2625: Blocking the Door Plan

Healer Cocoa Bean slipped away, not mentioning the remuneration in soul coins at all. Her decision was very wise, because the hive had already cultivated a Demon Flame Dragon.

The Demon Flame Dragon flying in the high sky was pitch black. Under the rough dragon skin, there were magma patterns like blood vessels, and the area below the neck was completely magma-colored.

After the Demon Flame Dragon spread its wings, the wingspan reached about 38 meters. In those vertical pupils, it seemed as if purgatory fire was burning. Burning, thick smoke, tough skin, a body that was difficult to hurt—this was the first impression the Demon Flame Dragon gave people.

"Roar!"

The Demon Flame Dragon roared in the high sky. After flying for a while and adapting to this feeling, it dived down and sprayed dragon flames toward the Tiger Bee clansmen below.

Whoosh!

The sound of flames burning spread far away. Large swarms of Tiger Bee clansmen wailed and turned into liquid like molten iron, falling onto the creep below, gradually being absorbed by the creep.

The Demon Flame Dragon was the strongest troop type of the seventh-stage hive. The transcendent flames it sprayed were very special. This was caused by evolution. If it burned the enemy to ashes, it would violate the Zerg's way of war. If that were the case, the Zerg wouldn't have awakened the genetic memory of the "Demon Flame Dragon."

Dragon flames from above, seventh-stage Demon Beasts below, Leviathans' bio-missiles continuing endlessly—by this time, the seventh-stage hive showed its powerful side.

Psh, psh!

Mucus splattered, the bodies of five Worker Scorpions shattered, and their flesh and blood turned into a huge biological spore sac. The creep spread rapidly toward the surroundings along the lower edge of the biological spore sac.

On the back of a giant beast over ten meters tall, Taimesha looked at the battlefield in front. She raised her hand and turned her gaze to a golden mark on her palm. This was a strange secret technique from the ancient elves. This secret technique required soul energy. Whether it was the enemy's or a friend's, as long as the soul energy filled it, this golden mark could be activated. At this time, the golden brand could already be activated.

Golden brilliance appeared in Taimesha's hand, finally gathering into a dazzling golden light ball. She gripped her hand, and the golden energy was transmitted along the arm armor.

Thud—

A golden shockwave spread with Taimesha as the center. A trace of pain appeared on her face. This severe pain, which was enough to make a seventh-stage Qiyuezhe collapse, Taimesha just frowned.

The golden shockwave swept across the bodies of all Tiger Bee clansmen. Abnormal bulges appeared on their carapaces, as if there was endless power surging in their bodies.

Roars spread one after another. The Tiger Bee clansmen, who had been killed and retreated steadily by the Demon Beasts, actually turned their fatigue around and held off the Demon Beasts' fierce attacks.

The war continued. Taimesha knew very clearly that if the hive wasn't razed today, the Tiger Bee clan would have no chance.

The fierce battle began. The Tiger Bee clansmen were worthy of being a combat tribe. Large swarms 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.

Bee Queen Carol felt a trace of ominous feeling in her heart. After the war started, clearly her side had an overwhelming advantage, but from the start of the war until now, nearly ten hours 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.

The Tiger Bee clansmen's various means were all used. A full hundred Flame Princes appeared on the surrounding battlefield. The first thing they burned was the creep on the ground, which was very wise.

Under the Tiger Bee clan's almost overwhelming attack, 430,000 fifth-stage Demon Beasts and 30,000 sixth-stage Demon Beasts were being slaughtered in large numbers.

The diameter of the defense line was compressed from 3 kilometers to 1.2 kilometers. The war had only started for 10 minutes, and the death toll of Demon Beasts reached over 300,000. If it weren't for the sixth-stage Demon Beasts among them, the death toll would have been even higher.

Whether the Tiger Bee Lord, Taimesha, was present was two completely different concepts. The previous siege belonged to a strategic error. At that time, Taimesha was still in a semi-sleep state, and the Tiger Bee clan was managed by Bee Queen Carol.

After the battle circle was compressed to one kilometer, the area of the creep also shrank. The burning speed of over a hundred Flame Princes was much faster than the regeneration speed of the creep. The Tiger Bee clan was on the verge of victory.

Snap, snap, snap...

The sound of armored claws stepping on the hive ground was particularly obvious. A Demon Beast with a pitch-black carapace and a whip tail over four meters long walked out of the hive. Its whip tail swayed, and the tail blade at the tip made a metallic crisp sound after cutting through the air.

Compared to other ordinary Demon Beasts, this Demon Beast's size was slightly larger, but not too much. Its original size was several times larger than it was now, but when it was bred, its body was condensed a lot.

This Demon Beast seemed to be looking around. It leaped on the heads of other Demon Beasts and soon reached the front line.

Psh!

A Demon Beast had its upper body cut off. The Tiger Bee clansman raised its armored blade and let out a roar.

With a swoosh, the special Demon Beast appeared behind this Tiger Bee clansman. The Tiger Bee clansman's pupils tightened rapidly, and it immediately raised its palm-wide armored blade, turning around while slashing backward.

Swish—

A black residual light flashed and disappeared in the air. The Demon Beast's slender tail swept past, the tail blade at the tip bringing blood, and that Tiger Bee clansman's headless corpse stood in place.

The Tiger Bee clansman's head flew toward the Demon Beast. Its armored tail swept, casually smashing the head to pieces. The flying armor fragments hit other Tiger Bee clansmen, some sinking into their outer armor, some flying out of sight.

This Demon Beast shifted its gaze and saw Ice Lord, who was slashing fifth-stage Demon Beasts. Its hind legs arched, and with a bang, it rushed out.

Ice Lord, who was killing happily, suddenly felt a sense of crisis. His right arm crossed in front of him, and an ice arm shield with a diameter of one meter appeared.

Clang, clang, clang...

Sparks splattered, and the tail blade and sharp claws attacked the Holy Spirit-grade shield one after another. Ice Lord was as steady as Mount Tai, but just a few seconds later, his mentality almost exploded. The Demon Beast he was dealing with at this time was completely different from other Demon Beasts.

"Fortunately, there is only one."

Ice Lord retreated a few steps and looked at the shield on his forearm. Faint cracks could be seen on it. This was caused by bearing a large amount of real damage. The upper limit of durability was permanently reduced by 6 points, or rather, it was the permanent damage caused by demonic power to this shield.

As soon as Ice Lord's "Fortunately, there is only one" came out, two seventh-stage Demon Beasts leaped near him. As a Tank, Ice Lord really wanted to turn around and flee at this moment.

Psh, psh—

Two more seventh-stage Demon Beasts leaped onto the creep near Ice Lord. Ice Lord's face became solemn. If there were five, he could block them; he was a Tank.

But the next moment, Ice Lord turned around and fled, even using a one-time item to increase his own speed. The reason was that hundreds of seventh-stage Demon Beasts were rushing from the front. If Ice Lord didn't flee, these Demon Beasts would slaughter him along the way.

One hour later, in a stone house at the Dia Tribe's main gathering place, the fire in the brazier flickered, and several figures sat in various parts of the stone house.

"You mean Kuku Lin, White Night, summoned hundreds of thousands of Zerg and repelled the Tiger Bee faction's frontal assault? Now Taimesha is discussing an alliance with the Holy Witch, preparing to deal with the threat from the Zerg?"

Naji Jia, sitting in the darkness, spoke, and the others remained silent.

"I feel..."

Mu Xiao, beside the brazier, had just started to speak when she was interrupted by Plague Insect.

"Mu Xiao, don't speak for now, I beg you."

Plague Insect had clearly witnessed Mu Xiao's reverse-prediction ability; the medicinal smell on his body at this moment proved it.

After everyone was silent for a few minutes, Plague Insect asked, "Naji Jia, what do we do next?"

Plague Insect's expression was relaxed, as if he were not worried about the threat from the Zerg.

"The plan continues; we need to use 'that thing'."

Naji Jia sighed and waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave. Soon, only Naji Jia and Plague Insect remained in the stone house.

"Naji Jia, what is the 'that thing' you just mentioned? Your hidden trump card? We are different from other Qiyuezhe; we cannot leave this world until we finish that matter."

Plague Insect's cheeks were trembling; he had been acting just now.

"What trump card in the Seventh Tier can deal with hundreds of thousands of Zerg? 'That thing' doesn't exist; I was just stabilizing them. You go out first and let me think quietly."

Naji Jia raised his hand to rub his forehead; he had a bit of a headache. Originally, he thought he was about to engage in a battle of wits with an old schemer from Reincarnation Paradise, thousands of miles apart, yet every move was fatal.

Now it seemed there was no such luck; the opponent was a 'Summoner', a 'Summoner' with hundreds of thousands of Zerg.

In reality, Naji Jia did not need to worry about Su Xiao dealing with him for the time being. Su Xiao was preparing to occupy the trial area first; as for the Void Tree's restrictions, they were easy to solve.

Demon Beasts would first block the entrance to the trial area, with over 4,000 entering each time, plus 3 Demon Flame Dragons. Once the Demon Beasts in the trial area suffered casualties, they would be replenished immediately. As long as the Zerg were not kept in the trial area for a long time, there would likely be no punishment; after all, the Zerg were classified as special summons.

As for the Death Forest at the entrance of the trial area, Su Xiao would use low-tier Zerg to charge through; he did not believe the power of death there was infinite.
