The Elite Hebo Insect's heart sank, but it didn't panic.
It took a deep breath and quietly transmitted information to the He Bo Insects beside it, using a special frequency to tell them not to act rashly and to wait for the best opportunity.
It knew that now it could only fight with its back against the wall and absolutely could not give up easily. Its eyes were fixed on the Mud Swamp Frogmen outside, observing their every move, searching for an opportunity to counterattack.
Suddenly, while searching, a Mud Swamp Frogman accidentally touched a spider silk trap that the He Bo Insects had set up beforehand.
This strand of spider silk was extremely tough, secreted by the He Bo Insects with special glands, and instantly wrapped around its ankle. It struggled hard, but found that the more it struggled, the tighter it became.
"There's an ambush!" it shouted loudly.
Hearing the shout, the other Mud Swamp Frogmen immediately became alert, gripping their weapons tightly and moving towards the source of the sound.
Their eyes were filled with vigilance and anger, their footsteps moving with Fast Movement, splashing up sheets of water.
Seeing that the opportunity was not to be missed, the Elite Hebo Insect rushed out fiercely, waving its large and sharp pincers, which cut through the water, bringing up a silver light.
It continuously spat out spider silk from its mouth, rushing towards the Mud Swamp Frogmen like a black lightning bolt.
The other He Bo Insects also followed suit, and for a while, water splashed in the lake, and the atmosphere of battle permeated the air.
The He Bo Insects' attack was very fierce, their pincers swinging with great power, each pincer attack carrying powerful force, and spider silk also shot towards the Mud Swamp Frogmen like raindrops, catching the Mud Swamp Frogmen troop somewhat off guard.
Although the Mud Swamp Frogmen were numerous, the He Bo Insects, relying on their agile movements and strong attack capabilities, made it difficult for the Mud Swamp Frogmen troop to easily succeed for a while.
The Elite Hebo Insect seized the opportunity, clamped onto a Mud Swamp Frogman's weapon with its pincers, and swung it forcefully, throwing it flying.
The Mud Swamp Frogman, having lost its weapon, immediately panicked, its eyes filled with fear and helplessness.
The Elite Hebo Insect took the opportunity to attack again, spider silk shooting towards him like raindrops, wrapping him tightly.
The Mud Swamp Frogman struggled desperately but could not break free from the tough spider silk, only able to twist its body continuously in the water, letting out desperate cries.
However, the Mud Swamp Frogmen troop quickly adjusted their tactics.
They cooperated with each other, with some responsible for attracting the He Bo Insects' attention, deliberately shouting loudly and waving their weapons in front, making an attacking stance;
Another part of the group outflanked from the side, attempting to deliver a fatal blow to the He Bo Insects from behind. Under their close cooperation, the He Bo Insects gradually fell into a disadvantage.
A He Bo Insect was accidentally hit by a Mud Swamp Frogman's fishbone weapon. The injured one's movements became sluggish, and a crack appeared on its carapace, with green blood slowly flowing out.
Soon, several Mud Swamp Frogmen surrounded it and launched a siege. Under the enemy's attack, this He Bo Insect gradually lost its ability to resist.
The Elite Hebo Insect was extremely anxious in its heart. It knew that this wouldn't work and that it had to break through as soon as possible.
Just then, it saw a weak point in the encirclement, where there were relatively fewer Mud Swamp Frogmen, and the defense was also slightly lax.
So it sent a signal to its companions, transmitting the order to break through with a unique frequency fluctuation. After receiving the signal, the He Bo Insects put all their strength into launching a final charge towards the weak point.
They used their pincers to tear open the Mud Swamp Frogmen's defense line, each swing of the pincers carrying a desperate resolve, and spider silk continuously shot at the enemy, blocking their pursuit.
Finally, the He Bo Insects broke through the Mud Swamp Frogmen's encirclement.
They fled desperately in the water, while the Mud Swamp Frogmen troop pursued closely behind.
The Emerald-Eyed Toad even displayed its powerful speed, leading the chase after the He Bo Insects. Its huge body swam through the water, creating waves, and wherever it went, the water flow was stirred up.
The Elite Hebo Insect knew that if it kept running like this, it would eventually be caught. It had to find a way to get rid of the enemy.
Suddenly, it discovered an area ahead filled with strange water plants. These water plants were intertwined, forming a natural maze.
The water plants grew extremely lush, crisscrossing each other, as if every single one was blocking their advance.
Its heart stirred, and it led the He Bo Insects plunging into it.
The Mud Swamp Frogmen troop chased here and hesitated as they looked at the complex water plant maze before them.
But the Company Commander gritted his teeth and still ordered the troop to chase in. He didn't want these foreign insects to escape easily.
After entering the water plant maze, the Mud Swamp Frogmen troop quickly lost their way.
The water plants here were not only dense but also strange in shape, some like huge fans, others like winding long snakes, making people dizzy.
The Emerald-Eyed Toad's sense of smell was also greatly interfered with here, unable to accurately track the He Bo Insects' scent.
It kept turning its head in the water, trying to find traces of the He Bo Insects, but found nothing.
Meanwhile, the He Bo Insects, relying on their familiarity with their own abilities, skillfully weaved through the maze.
They used the water plants as cover, launching sneak attacks from time to time, making the Mud Swamp Frogmen troop unable to defend against them.
While searching for the He Bo Insects, a Mud Swamp Frogman was suddenly entangled by a strand of spider silk hidden in the water plants.
It struggled desperately, but the more it struggled, the tighter it became, its body twisting continuously in the water, letting out heart-wrenching sounds from its mouth.
In the water plant maze, the Mud Swamp Frogmen heard the desperate cries for help from their companions and instantly turned red-eyed, surging wildly from all directions towards the source of the sound like maddened beasts.
They were used to being tyrannical in this giant underground lake on a daily basis. At this moment, they were blinded by anger and fear, completely losing their composure, only knowing how to wave the weapons made of fishbone in their hands, throwing themselves at the He Bo Insects recklessly.
These fishbone weapons, after long-term grinding, gleamed with a cold luster, every texture condensing the imprint of their arduous lives.
But at this moment, they were being used as tools for venting, every swing carrying a fierce force, wishing to immediately tear the He Bo Insects in front of them into ten thousand pieces.
Facing the Mud Swamp Frogmen who surged like a tide, the dozen or so Ninth-Order Hebo Bugs resisted with all their might, but unfortunately, the enemy was too numerous, and the situation gradually became extremely unfavorable for them.
A He Bo Insect was swinging its pincers to block the attacks of several Mud Swamp Frogmen when suddenly, a fishbone spear fiercely stabbed its pincer. With a 'crack', the hard pincer was actually broken, and green blood scattered in the water like a fountain.
