[Kill the Insect Master Elder - Elite LV.19, +8212 XP]
[Obtained: Insect Master Vestments LV.19 [Rare]]
[Obtained: Insect Master Boots LV.19 [Rare]]
Just like in the Boneyard, elite aliens are divided into strong and weak categories, and this Insect Master Elder undoubtedly falls into the weaker category.
However, as an elite, killing him still yields considerable XP.
The two rare items dropped are clothing and boots, but they are class-specific and can only be worn by Insect Masters.
Insect Masters are a rare class, so these two items would surely fetch a considerable price on the professional trading platform.
In the Insect Master territory, the sight of the Elder being slain in battle caused a significant drop in the morale of the Insect Masters on the battlefield.
Especially the gray-clad Insect Masters who had accompanied the Elder, seeing the situation was dire, took flight.
What a joke! Even the Elder was killed, and they were still fighting!
The Insect Benders were routed and fled deep into the territory.
The Blood Clan Overlord led over thirty Blood Clan descendants in pursuit.
The Nightmare Lord also withdrew from the Deep Dream, consuming nearly half of his Spirit and summoning over thirty Nightmare Servants. The Nightmare
Servants transformed into dark shadows and flew out, entangling some of the fleeing Insect Benders before being slain one by one by the Nightmare Lord.
Gu Chen led his summoned beasts into the territory, slaying every Insect Bender in his path.

While the experience gained was slow, it was steadily increasing.
Reaching the deepest point, they arrived beneath a rock sculpture of an Insect.
The sculpture was approximately three meters tall, about the size of a heavy truck.
As Gu Chen and his companions approached, a woman in a black windbreaker slowly emerged from the sculpture.
The woman possessed a captivating appearance and a voluptuous figure. Beneath her open windbreaker, she wore a fishnet-like lining, revealing her voluptuous features without a trace of restraint.
"Human, didn't you come seeking my help? How dare you attack my noble Insect Benders?"
a cold yet arrogant voice echoed through the empty crypt.
[Alien: Insect Bender Chief - Elite]
[Level: LV.20]
[HP: 155200]
[Attributes: Strength 338, Agility 263, Constitution 342, Spirit 265]
[Skill I: Insect Swarm]
[Skill II: Insect Bender Enhancement]
[Skill III: Complete Insect Transformation]
This level 20 elite alien, the strongest of the Insect Benders, was an unstoppable calamity for ordinary professionals.
However, for Gu Chen, it was no more formidable than the beast corpse aberration he had previously slain.
The Insect Bender's primary skill was to summon alien insects for attack.
However, for the vampires, the insect attacks were no more than scratching.
For the Nightmare Overlord, it's even worse than scraping.
Gu Chen couldn't help but frown at the Insect Master's tone.
Her voice was filled with undisguised pride.
It was as if in her eyes, humans were no more than ants on the ground.
"Noble?" Gu Chen said coldly. "Then die here with your nobility."
Hearing the murderous intent in Gu Chen's tone, the Insect Master's chieftain was furious. With a cold shout, countless alien insects flew out from her palms, transforming into streaks of black light and pouring into the bodies of the surrounding Insect Masters.
[Insect Master Enhancement]
As the black light burst forth, all the Insect Masters seemed to enter a frenzy, radiating a powerful aura. Their bodies rapidly expanded, transforming into half-human, half-insect forms.
Their levels remained unchanged, but their four-dimensional attributes skyrocketed by 45%, becoming even more powerful.
Immediately afterwards, the Insect Master's chieftain let out a sharp, piercing roar.
[Insect Tide]
The entire cavern vibrated noticeably, and the ground and walls cracked under the immense force.
Dense swarms of black insects crawled out of the cracks, emitting shrill, crackling cries as they swarmed towards Gu Chen and his companions.
"Retreat!"
Gu Chen acted decisively, leading the group in a swift retreat.
The insects' numbers were terrifying. Lin Yuan and his companions were ordinary professionals; if they were surrounded by the swarm, they would be devoured in a matter of seconds.
The Blood Lord seized the opportunity to activate his mirror ring.
Its form blurred, and two stern figures in dark red robes appeared beside it.
The two mirror images kicked off, appearing before Gu Chen and his companions. Bullets whizzed out, shattering the incoming insects into pieces and shielding their retreat.
The Blood Lord's true form rushed towards the Insect Master Chief, engaging in a fierce battle.
Simultaneously, the Nightmare Lord unleashed his deepest dreams without hesitation. Countless insects crawled out of the burrows, only to be crushed to dust by the dream energy.

Countless experience messages scrolled across his vision, a dizzying display.
Gu Chen didn't even bother to read them. Killing a Zerg only gave 5 experience points. If he was counting on that level-up, it would take forever.
With a thought, his skill ignited, and a towering golem appeared in the cave.
"Roar!"
Immediately, a vast expanse of black light erupted from its rock-like form, inflicting two debuffs on the Insect Masters. Unleashing the skills
[Exhaustion] and
[Black Plague]
weakened all the other races, including the Insect Master leader. The Insect Masters, whose power had just skyrocketed due to [Insect Master Enhancement], were suddenly reduced to frailty.
[Black Plague] also began to spread widely.
After the last bloodline awakening, [Black Plague] had been further strengthened. The more infected a target was, the more health points the infected target lost per second.
The Insect Control Clan Leader summoned a swarm of alien insects, which not only did not cause much damage to Gu Chen and the others, but instead pushed the damage of the [Black Death Plague] to its peak
.
While [Deep Dream] only damages targets within a fixed area, [Black Death]'s damage increases exponentially as the number of infected increases.
This is a genocidal plague, devastating to any colony.
Within a few breaths, the Zerg perished en masse, leaving a thick layer of corpses on the ground. They were then crushed to dust by the clash between the Bloodline descendants and the Insect Masters.
Seeing this, the Nightmare Lord simply withdrew his ability.
He hadn't anticipated the debuff, [Black Death], to unleash such horrific damage in such a situation.
Neither had Gu Chen anticipated this.
He had summoned the Corpse Golems only to suppress the Insect Masters, even targeting [Black Death] only for them.
It was only then that the disease spread to the Zerg, rapidly spreading throughout the swarm, decimating countless Zerg.
It was a complete surprise.
Upon witnessing this, the Insect Master leader's icy eyes narrowed, his face a look of unspeakable shock.
Impossible! What kind of skill is this?
How can a human being kill thousands of Zerg in just a few breaths?
How can such terrifying combat power exist in humans?
