Chen Gu, having narrowly escaped one disaster, found himself in no less danger. As he landed on the ground, he was immediately swarmed by a throng of Ghost Claw Beetles, their numbers rapidly increasing. Gradually, Chen Gu was surrounded by the insects. Out of his line of sight, some larger creatures were stealthily approaching under the cover of the swarm.
These insects were the size of giant beetles but had the form of Ghost Claw Beetles. They were Large Ghost Claw Beetles, products of a second evolutionary adjustment, and part of the Insect Race's primary assault forces. Usually concealed within the swarm, they would suddenly break out to penetrate human defenses.
In a typical ground battle, just one or two of these Large Ghost Claw Beetles could cause massive trouble for a human defensive line. Now, more than a dozen of them were hiding within the swarm!
Surrounded, Chen Gu saw the insects gathering around him grow more numerous, threatening to "submerge" him.
