In the Snail Monster's lair, Bug Clan Family and Snail Monster corpses were everywhere, their blood dyeing the ground a strange color.
The pungent smell of blood permeated the air, making one nauseous, but the Bug Clan Family were in high spirits, completely fearless of death; they gathered together to form an overwhelming insect swarm, their attacks becoming even more ferocious.
One by one, the Snail Monsters were either bitten to death and dismembered by the Six-Order Four Fiend Insect Soldiers, or impaled by the spear-like poisonous stingers and sliced apart by the double scythes of the Six-Stage Zhu Yan Devil Insects, with the Bug Clan Family gradually gaining the upper hand.
The Snail Monsters' resistance grew weaker and weaker, their defenses breached one by one by the Bug Clan Family.
The largest of the Snail Monsters was kited by the Six-Stage Zhu Yan Devil Insects, constantly being impaled by their spear-like stingers as if throwing javelins, while the high-frequency vibrations from the rapidly swinging double scythes cut open its thick carapace and skin, bleeding it out step by step.
Their massive bodies were covered in wounds, with numerous wrist-sized blood holes and torn, exposed skin that peeled back in sheets.
The toxins made their brains dizzy, and they soon collapsed to the ground.
Some Snail Monsters began to show fear and tried to escape, but how could the Bug Clan Family easily let them go? They pursued their advantage, eliminating the fleeing Snail Monsters one by one.
Ultimately, this great battle did not last long before it concluded.
This Snail Monster clan was completely annihilated in the Geocentric World, with only a dozen or so remaining Snail Monsters serving as captives.
On the other side, Zhou Qi's mental screen was constantly refreshing with notifications, thousands of them, with each Snail Monster providing over one hundred thousand Evolution Points, truly a bountiful harvest.
One by one, the Six-Tier Spiked Horned Tyrant Insects transformed into workers and began to clean up the battlefield.
Zhou Qi saw this scene through the perspective of his family members and finally exhaled slowly, realizing he had underestimated the strength of his family members.
Uka tallied the battle losses of the family members; this battle eliminated over 2,000 Snail Monsters and captured 18.
As for the Bug Clan Family, they lost about 300 Six-Order Four Fiend Insect Soldiers and nearly 100 Six-Tier Spiked Horned Tyrant Insects, while the Six-Stage Zhu Yan Devil Insects suffered no losses due to their powerful mobility.
This battle was a great victory; these Snail Monsters were basically all low-level life forms with a minimum life strength of 13 points or more, and there were even many Intermediate life forms, yet they were wiped out with such a low casualty ratio.
Through the family members' perspective, Zhou Qi looked at the mountain of Snail Monster corpses, filled with regret; it would be too wasteful to leave these corpses here.
Several thoughts quickly flashed through his mind: should he take these corpses back for the tai sui meat to devour, accelerating the tai sui meat's growth, or risk bringing the tai sui meat to the Geocentric World?
However, bringing the tai sui meat to this perilous place was too risky; if an accident occurred, the losses would be severe.
After much thought, Zhou Qi suddenly remembered that the Five-Tier Tai Sui Meat possessed the ability to split and reproduce.
If he could have it split off a Clone here, it could both use these corpses to grow and provide a continuous supply of reserve military rations for the vast number of family members, killing two birds with one stone.
With this thought, Zhou Qi no longer hesitated and immediately returned to the Five-Tier Tai Sui Meat in the rock cave through the Evolution Space.
Zhou Qi stood before the Five-Tier Tai Sui Meat, his eyes filled with anticipation, and he softly said, "Exhibit your split reproduction talent."
As if understanding his words, the Five-Tier Tai Sui Meat trembled slightly, and the star patterns on its surface flickered more frequently.
Soon, a tai sui meat Clone the size of a millstone slowly separated from the original body; this Clone looked soft and squishy, with a bit of mucus on its surface, emitting a strange glow under the faint light.
Zhou Qi carefully used his Mental Power to transfer it to an open space in the Underground Base, just in time to transport the Five-Order Bat Serpent Beast to the Geocentric World as well.
When Zhou Qi first stepped onto this strange land, he found Uka directing the family members to busily construct in the Snail Monster's lair.
Uka used his rich experience to direct the Six-Tier Spiked Horned Tyrant Insects to transport huge stones and build stronger defensive fortifications;
the Six-Order Four Fiend Insect Soldiers patrolled vigilantly around, not missing any slight disturbance;
and some family members were clearing the remaining bloodstains and debris on the battlefield, organizing the interior of the lair in an orderly fashion.
They were continuously expanding the area of the lair, extending all the way to the passage leading to the surface at the back, clearly preparing to use this as a stable base, gradually extending deeper into the Geocentric World.
Zhou Qi found a relatively spacious lair built by the Snail Monsters and placed the tai sui meat Clone within it.
Then, he issued a command to the Six-Tier Spiked Horned Tyrant Insects: "Move all the Snail Monster corpses here."
Upon receiving the order, the Six-Tier Spiked Horned Tyrant Insects immediately took action.
They bit the Snail Monster corpses with their strong mandibles and, with neat and powerful steps, transported the corpses to the tai sui meat Clone again and again.
When the first Snail Monster corpse was placed on the tai sui meat Clone, something miraculous happened.
The tai sui meat Clone, as if alive, slowly wriggled and enveloped the corpse; upon contact, the corpse began to dissolve at a visible speed.
Green liquid seeped from the Snail Monster's corpse and was rapidly absorbed by the tai sui meat Clone, whose body slowly grew a size larger, and its surface glow became brighter.
Zhou Qi watched all of this intently, his heart filled with anticipation.
As more and more corpses were transported over, the tai sui meat Clone's absorption speed also became faster and faster, and its size continuously expanded. Originally the size of a millstone, it was now as large as a small car and still growing.
Just then, Zhou Qi, through the family members' perspective, noticed a group of mysterious creatures approaching from a distance.
From their appearance, these creatures were humanoid but not quite human, astonishingly tall, over three meters in height.
Their bodies were covered in a layer of black, wrinkled hard skin, which shimmered with an eerie glow under the faint light.
Their facial features somewhat resembled humans, but they had three blood-red eyes, like burning flames, revealing endless ferocity and brutality.
Their mouths were filled with sharp fangs, each as long as a dagger, and as they approached, they occasionally let out low roars, sounds that seemed to come from the depths of Hell, sending chills down one's spine and filling one with dread.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Zhou Qi felt that these people were somewhat similar to the strange snakes he first saw in the Underground Base, only they had grown limbs.
