The Zhu Yan Demon Insects agilely wove through the arrow rain, sometimes dodging sideways, sometimes rapidly ascending or descending, skillfully avoiding wave after wave of attacks.
At the same time, they continuously launched counterattacks, using their sharp claws and poisonous stingers to attack the giant birds and the Ironblood Bugmen on them.
While dodging an attack, a Zhu Yan Demon Insect discovered a weakness in a giant bird.
It seized the opportunity, accelerated fiercely, and charged towards that giant bird.
The giant bird's owner screamed in terror, trying to control the giant bird to dodge, but it was too late.
The Zhu Yan Demon Insect used its sharp claws to grab the giant bird's wing, tearing it with a "crack," and a large gash appeared on the giant bird's wing, with feathers falling everywhere.
The giant bird let out a painful wail, lost its balance, and plunged towards the ground, with the Ironblood Bugmen on it falling as well.
Before they could even land, other Zhu Yan Demon Insects swarmed up, killing them one by one with their poisonous stingers.
On the ground, a frantic slaughter ensued.
The Four Fiends Insect Soldiers engaged in close combat with the Ironblood Bugmen, their arthropod weapons clashing with the Ironblood Bugmen's weapons, emitting "clanging" sounds.
Each attack carried immense power, sending sparks flying. A Four Fiends Insect Soldier, during the battle, discovered a weakness in an Ironblood Bugman. It leaped high, its arthropod limbs like sharp blades, fiercely stabbing towards the Ironblood Bugman's neck.
The Ironblood Bugman's eyes widened in terror, trying to dodge, but it was too late.
With a "thud," the arthropod limb pierced the Ironblood Bugman's neck, and green blood gushed out like a fountain, instantly ending the Ironblood Bugman's life.
Just as the battle entered its white-hot stage, a powerful energy fluctuation once again came from the spatial passage.
Everyone looked over and saw a figure radiating a terrifying Aura slowly appear; it was the Lizardman King Chronos.
At this moment, Chronos was even more enormous, over five meters tall, radiating a powerful Aura similar to the fusion of the Holy Master and the Eight Qi Little Dragon in Jackie Chan Adventures, as if the spatial passage could barely support his arrival.
He wore a set of armor made of special Materials, inscribed with mysterious runes that shimmered with faint light, seemingly containing powerful energy, which not only enhanced his defense
It also boosted his combat power.
Chronos held a dazzling crystal, the evolution origin point, in his hand. His gaze was firm and resolute as he strode to a relatively open area and placed the evolution origin point into the ground beneath him.
Instantly, a mysterious light spread out with the evolution origin point as its center.
This light rippled outwards like water, and wherever it reached, the air seemed to distort, emitting a "buzzing" sound.
Far away in Hope City's insectoid nest, Zhou Qi saw a continuous stream of notifications on the light screen, indicating large amounts of Evolution Points being gained, precisely from each killed Ironblood Bugman.
These Evolution Points surged endlessly, continuously rising, filling Zhou Qi's heart with anticipation and excitement.
As soon as Chronos had properly placed the evolution origin point, he let out an earth-shattering roar.
This roar contained endless majesty and power, as if it could shatter the very sky of this Iron-Blooded World.
He charged directly towards the dense mass of Ironblood Bugmen ahead, like a valiant and fearless primeval beast.
Each step made the ground tremble, and the surrounding air seemed to be oppressed by his Aura, emitting a "buzzing" sound.
He tightly gripped a weapon crafted from special Ore, its blade gleaming with a cold light, as if thirsting for blood.
During the charge, Chronos unleashed his "Lizard King Body" talent.
A layer of golden light shimmered around his body, like armor, tightly protecting him and instantly boosting his defensive power to the extreme.
As the golden light flowed, it seemed to form an invisible shield, deflecting any attacks that struck it.
At the same time, his body began to grow even larger, muscles bulging, filled with explosive power. His arms became thicker and stronger, and the claws on his hands became sharper, gleaming with a cold light, as if they could easily tear apart any enemy.
A larger Ironblood Bugman with ten tails, seeing this, defiantly charged forward, wielding a spear-like weapon whose tip gleamed with a cold light, and thrust it towards Chronos.
Chronos snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
He did not dodge or evade, directly meeting the Ironblood Bugman's spear with both hands.
With a loud "clang," they collided, sending out a dazzling shower of sparks.
The powerful impact numbed the Ironblood Bugman's arm, and the spear nearly slipped from his grasp.
Chronos seized the opportunity, flung the Ironblood Bugman's spear aside, and then fiercely kicked the Ironblood Bugman, sending him flying like a cannonball with a "bang." He crashed heavily into a distant insectoid nest, creating a huge gaping hole in it. Fragments of the insectoid nest fell, raising a cloud of dust.
As expected of one with a life strength of at least 60 points.
The other Insectoid Kin were greatly emboldened by Chronos's bravery.
The ten-stage Four Fiends Insect Soldiers' black Evil Qi burned even more fiercely. They unleashed their "Evil Energy Burst" talent, instantly igniting their own Evil Qi to boost all their attributes.
A layer of black flames surrounded their bodies, burning more intensely, as if to devour everything around them.
Their eyes also turned blood-red, revealing endless killing intent, as they moved freely through the Ironblood Bugman crowd like ghosts, each attack accurately hitting the Ironblood Bugmen's vital points.
During the battle, a Four Fiends Insect Soldier skillfully dodged an Ironblood Bugman's attack, then, seizing the moment the opponent exposed a weakness, leaped high, its arthropod limbs, wreathed in black flames, fiercely stabbing into the Ironblood Bugman's chest.
With a "thud," the arthropod limb pierced the Ironblood Bugman's body, and black flames spread through the wound, instantly incinerating the Ironblood Bugman's internal organs. It collapsed to the ground before it could even let out a scream.
The ten-stage Zhu Yan Demon Insects unleashed their "Thunderwing Storm" talent in the air. Lightning flashed on their wings, and this lightning power continuously replenished their bodies, making their attacks even more potent.
They swooped down from the sky, attacking the Ironblood Bugmen's eyes, heads, and other vital points with their scythe-like forelegs and spears.
One after another, Ironblood Bugmen fell under the Zhu Yan Demon Insects' attacks, their green blood spilling onto the ground, forming strange pools of blood.
