Even though the appearance was gleaned from Blood Night’s memories, if they were so mixed in, capturing him in the army array was uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This retreat directly exposed him, and the insect swarm immediately locked onto him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insect swarm’s offensive abruptly shifted, targeting the fleeing skeleton man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized his brainless operation; his escape had exposed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the distance between him and the insect swarm was already short, fleeing within the army array couldn’t match the flying insect swarm’s speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So turning back to engage with the help of reinforcement was perhaps the best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having realized this, he halted, calling upon nearby undead giants for support while he wielded his magic wand, summoning his powerful undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not an ineffectual contractor; as one of Chaotic Paradise’s most potent contractors, his combat power was nothing to scoff at!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breathing briefly, several formidable undead emitting strong Tier Six aura emerged from the summoning array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a vast Bone Dragon spreading tattered wings, a bloated abomination wielding an iron hook, even zombies covered in golden talismans and mummies wrapped in bandages...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The style showcased a national fusion, yet their prowess was nearing Seventh Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the insect swarm, which exerted pressure even in the dark night, having powerful undead offered no sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he initially stated, even with strong undead, stirring waves in such a level structured array was difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he and his undead prepared for a desperate confrontation against the advancing insect swarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each undead, including himself, readied for an attack, but the insect swarm suddenly split before them, moving towards either side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like being forcibly interrupted by a deadly call from his boss when about to reach a climax, extremely frustrating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly realized he hadn’t escaped danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scattering insect swarm wasn’t abandoning him but obstructing the beasts and contractors coming to rescue him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insect swarm, unbeknownst, faded from sight, resumed raining fire, isolating him from the surrounding army array, seemingly to draw him out of its protection...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, not seemingly, that was it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insect swarm intended to capture him alive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he couldn’t fathom why the insect swarm acted so, there was no time for deep thought now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemies’ strategy of gaining something by destroying it, and protecting to destroy it sometimes fails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one had to admit that most times, this strategy can get the best decision swiftly without loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not understanding why the insect swarm wanted to capture him, preventing them is the best response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there’s reason he didn’t think he’d be treated well if captured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Task failure, surviving by luck would still result in execution by Paradise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No longer waiting idle, the skeleton man moved immediately, using the undead as vanguards to break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton man quickly discovered, even if he acted repeatedly and truly killed dozens of insect clan members, the insect swarm’s desire to harm him remained low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only persistently hindering him from leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strengthened his belief they wanted to capture him alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he decided to exploit the swarm’s reluctance to kill him, breaching with his physical body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though if the insect swarm changed its mind or struck him mistakenly, a fragile mage like him would perish instantly, worse than mere dynasty soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since death seemed inevitable, why not make a gamble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the motto Paradise Contractors had lived by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using his body as a shield, coupled with his undead recklessly counter-attacking the airborne swarm, indeed impeded the swarm, hesitant to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sacrificing several undead, he painfully broke out of the insect swarm’s vortex, seeing his allies outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The airborne swarm seemed aware, ceasing to concern him, even at risk of killing him, pressuring him to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his actions corner the insect swarm into desperation, the skeleton man was immediately buoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly activated his equipment skills, speeding up, concentrating on dodging attacks from the aerial swarm while rushing towards those coming to rescue him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, the ground suddenly mutated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short distance ahead, between him and his rescuing comrades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ground suddenly, without warning, opened a chasm-like abyss, directly devouring towards him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Burrowing Worm, hidden beneath, giving the dynasty side the swarm’s \"first blood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early buried underground, proving itself with strength, though surrendered its first blood, remained a loyal ally!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton man’s speed boosted by equipment, at this moment, didn’t accelerate towards hope but towards the abyss, making him seem to voluntarily dive into the Burrowing Worm’s maw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by the Burrowing Worm sinking below ground again, the conflict’s core indeed vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet both sides, fired with anger, refused to quit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, the disappearance of the rescue target freed their movements, intensifying the battle further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This battlefield turned into a meat grinder for powerful forces!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Original Insect Swarm Alloy: Independently developed by the insect swarm, although discarded for various reasons, still a very potent alloy material, deemed the most comprehensive magic metal, performs well against most energies with excellent magic-conducting properties, and today, some laboratories still install it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Note: Unknown energy tester, crafted from original insect metal, retro style, network design, a gentle test automatically searches the similar items network, now
