The Insect Master Chieftain had never imagined that his prized Zerg would perish so inexplicably.
Even more so, the Black Plague, after infecting thousands of Zerg, inflicted a surge of damage, causing her health to plummet.
The Blood Lord, facing the stunned Insect Master Chieftain, unleashed a barrage of bullets, showering her with bloody mist.
Seeing her abilities inflict no damage on Gu Chen or his summoned beasts, the Insect Master Chieftain roared, a powerful wave of energy emanating from her body.
Immediately, a gigantic Zerg phantom appeared behind her.
"Swish!"
The Insect Master Chieftain's body suddenly grew in size, its form transforming into a massive Zerg over three meters tall in a flash.
[Complete Zerg Transformation]
This wasn't a half-human, half-Zerg transformation like the Insect Master Chieftain, but rather a complete transformation of human form into Zerg form.
After her complete insect transformation, the Insect Master Chieftain sprouted a hard carapace, significantly increasing her attack and defense, granting her a significant melee bonus.
For a moment, her combat power surged, as if she had truly transformed into a giant insect from the abyss. A ferocious aura surged from her body, and she charged fearlessly at the Bloodline Overlord.
However, she forgot that despite her explosive combat power after complete insect transformation, the debuff of [Extreme Exhaustion] not only did not increase her overall stats, but instead significantly decreased them.
Furthermore, the damage she took was increased by 100%.
Facing the charging giant insect, the Bloodline Overlord raised his rifle and fired, his bullets raining down like a torrential rain, shattering the hard carapace to pieces. Its
razor-sharp limbs were rendered brittle by the Bloodline Overlord's assault, and the giant insect's legs and feet were broken one after another, its carapace shattering into pieces, spraying green blood everywhere.
"Like—"
the giant insect screamed in pain. It hadn't even touched the edge of the Blood Lord's clothes, but it was already seriously injured and crippled.
The Insect Master clan leader roared in pain, "Impossible! How could this happen?"
In a single encounter, her proud ultimate skill was shattered by the Blood Lord. At this moment, she had no intention of fighting anymore. She quickly turned back and ran in the direction she came from.
Want to run away when you can't win?
How could it be so easy?
The Blood Lord flashed, and in a flash, he rushed forward.
The Insect Master elder felt a strong wind behind her. Before she could even look back, she saw a figure appear in front of her, blocking her escape.
The Insect Master elder roared in disbelief, "Human, the Insect Master clan is the nemesis of the Ghost-Faced King Spider. If you kill us, the Ghost-Faced King Spider will summon an insect plague to destroy everything here, even you."
A sneer crossed Gu Chen's face. "Are you threatening me?"
"No, spare me. I'm willing to help you kill the Ghost-Faced King Spider."
"You?"
Gu Chen sneered, giving the Blood Clan Overlord a look. The
Overlord understood and immediately activated [Crimson Feast]. A blood-red storm swept out, followed by additional damage, unsurprisingly depleting the Insect Master clan leader's health bar.
[Kill Insect Master Clan Leader - Elite LV.20, +11290 EXP]
[Loot: Insect Master Skill Book LV.20 [Rare]] With
the clan leader dead, the remaining Insect Masters were completely scattered, fleeing for their lives in the various caves.
How could Gu Chen miss this opportunity? It wasn't the Insect Masters who were escaping, but rather the experience points!
With a single thought, dozens of Nightmare minions transformed into dark shadows, enveloping the Insect Benders. The Nightmare Lord flashed by, calling out names to the fleeing Insect Benders one by one.
The two Bloodline Overlords' mirror images seized this opportunity to activate their [Bloodline Heritage].
The fallen corpses, bathed in a shower of blood-colored energy, rose to their feet and launched a frenzied attack on the surviving Insect Benders.
The Bloodline Overlord wasn't idle either. After dispatching the clan leader, it penetrated deep into the Insect Bender territory, unleashing a brutal slaughter on those dressed in white or gray.
Gu Chen's orders were to spare no one; no Insect Bender could escape this catastrophe.
[Kill a Level 18 Insect Bender Warrior, +1026 Experience]
[Kill a Level 19 Insect Bender Mage, +1326 Experience]
[Kill a Level 19 Gray Insect Bender, +1302 Experience]
Soon, the Insect Bender clan was completely annihilated.
These arrogant Insect Controllers, who viewed humans as lowly ants, perished here, bearing their nobility and pride.
Gu Chen felt no pity for them.
According to the dungeon's plot, if the players failed to slay the Ghost-Faced King Spider, the final insect plague would destroy everything here.
At that point, the Insect Controller clan would also be annihilated for their arrogance.
Death is inevitable, so why not die a worthy death? And nothing could be more perfect than becoming Gu Chen's experience.

"Finally, I've reached Tier 2," Gu Chen exclaimed.
Since entering this dungeon, leveling up has taken noticeably longer.
Not only have I slain scores of Sharp Blade Venomous Spiders along the way, but now I've wiped out the Insect Masters as well, finally reaching a level.
After this dungeon exit, I'll have to enter the Tier 2 Abyss.
But before that, Gu Chen plans to upgrade his summoned beasts.
He hasn't used the first-generation bloodline he obtained at level 17 yet. His last entry into the Hell-level Boneyard brought him to level 19, granting him two more first-generation bloodlines.
Gu Chen was secretly hoping. This time, even if it was his turn, it would be the King Bloodline's turn, right?
Activate the talent.
[You have obtained: Dark Bloodline - First Generation]
Another first generation?
Gu Chen's face was filled with frustration. Is the King Bloodline really that rare?
Never mind, I'd better use it first. There's nothing wrong with the first generation bloodline. At least it can upgrade the Nightmare Lord and Dark Hunter Dragon Turtle.
With this thought in mind, Gu Chen directly gave all four first generation bloodlines to the Nightmare Lord.
