As the elite Blade Venomous Spiders retreated, the battle was clearly drawing to a close.
The Dark Hunter Dragon Turtle existed solely for combat. Once in combat mode, it would intensify, becoming unmatched.
"Dark Hunter Dragon Turtle? What kind of summoned beast is this? It's so terrifying!" Lin Yuan gasped in shock.
"Generally speaking, training summoned beasts gets increasingly difficult as their levels increase. I don't understand why this is my fourth summoned beast, and it's still so terrifying!" Xu Xia's eyes widened, almost questioning her life.
"If Master Gu Chen can remain this powerful, I can't imagine how terrifying he'll be once he's a one-man army!" Lin Qingqing sighed in astonishment.
For ordinary summoners, due to limited resources, the quality of their summoned beasts decreases as their numbers increase.
However, based on current conditions, each of Gu Chen's summoned beasts is increasingly powerful.
This completely defies common perception.
While the Dark Hunter Dragon Turtle pursued the elite Blade Venomous Spiders, the Bloodline Overlord, along with his bloodline descendants and the Nightmare Overlord, was outside the lair, killing ordinary Venomous Spiders that had been summoned.
While the number of ordinary Venomous Spiders was overwhelming, the two hundred descendants transformed by the Bloodline Overlord were no less formidable. Add to that the Nightmare Overlord, who had acquired [Shadow Killing Arc].
For the summoned beast team, these ordinary aliens were a piece of cake.
More and more Blade Venomous Spiders perished in their lair. Seeing no escape, the Blade Venomous Spider Elite let out a fierce roar and madly attacked the Dark Hunter Dragon Turtle.
The Dark Hunter Dragon Turtle was no match for it. In its eyes, this elite alien was a spent force, powerless.
It unleashed another ability, crushing the ground with its feet and launching itself forward like a cannonball, unstoppable.
Boom!
The Blade Venomous Spider Elite, already low on health, was now blasted to death by the Dark Hunter Dragon Turtle's attack, its remaining health shattering to zero.
Even its shattered body was reduced to a blur of fragments under the ferocious onslaught.

Killing elite aliens still yields considerable experience. As for the two rare items, one for the Assassin class and the other for the Warrior class,
they could fetch millions on the professional trading platform, a significant profit.
One elite alien provides nearly 10,000 EXP, and killing ordinary aliens on the periphery also yields over 80,000 EXP—a decent profit.
Gu Chen was eagerly anticipating the next spider's nest.
Just then, a buzzing sound suddenly echoed in the surrounding darkness.
Immediately afterwards, a dense swarm of Sharp Blade Venomous Spiders swarmed out, even more numerous than before.
"Again? How come so soon?" Xu Xia exclaimed in surprise.
According to the strategy guide, after the death of the elite Blade Venom Spider, a small-scale insect swarm would erupt from this spider's lair.
He hadn't expected it to arrive so soon.
"Just in time," Gu Chen said with a smile.
A single Blade Venom Spider might offer little experience, but if a swarm of insects arrived, it would be a bonanza!
Catch it! He
had to catch it!
He couldn't wait any longer.
"Bloodline descendants, charge!"
Gu Chen commanded, and dozens of Bloodline descendants charged forward, launching a self-destruct attack directly at the oncoming insect swarm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One explosion dealt 5,000 damage, ten explosions 50,000, and it was all area-of-effect damage.
The dim cavern was illuminated ablaze with bloody flames, and each Blade Venom Spider was completely devoured by the blast.
In a matter of seconds, fifteen Bloodline descendants self-destructed, killing over forty Blade Venom Spiders.
The two mirror images of the Blood Lord seized the opportunity to activate their skills, transforming fifteen of the scattered razor-bladed venomous spiders to replenish the losses suffered by the Blood Lords.
The transformation skill wasn't restricted to target type; it previously transformed animal carcasses, and now it could also transform venomous spiders—any corpse would do.
The transformed Blood Lords' venomous spiders were essentially identical to the razor -bladed venomous spiders, except for the rich blood-colored energy swirling around them, making them easily recognizable.
Gu Chen didn't care what form the Blood Lords took; whether human or insectoid, the self-destruction dealt the same damage.
Thus, a large number of the transformed Blood Lords' venomous spiders surged outward, self-destructing towards the incoming venomous spiders.
If the venomous spider elite hadn't died yet, the sight would surely have driven it mad.
It couldn't have imagined that a dead venomous spider could unleash such terrifying damage in Gu Chen's hands.
All the aliens slain by the Blood Lords were counted as the fruits of the Blood Lords' slaughter.
After all, Bloodline Descendant is the Bloodline Overlord's skill. Killing a Bloodline Descendant is effectively killing the Bloodline Overlord through his skill.
Thus, for every Sharp Blade Venomous Spider killed by a Bloodline Descendant, the Bloodline Overlord's health increases by 10 points.
As the self-destruction continues, the Bloodline Overlord's health rises steadily.
Within Gu Chen's sight, the experience bar scrolls continuously.

The explosions echoed relentlessly in the cave. With the exception of Xu Xia, who was completely covered in armor, the other four people instinctively covered their ears.
"The Sharp Blade Venomous Spiders seem to be decreasing."
It wasn't long before Xu Xia noticed that the number of Sharp Blade Venomous Spiders was dwindling at a noticeable rate.
This meant that this wave of insects had reached its end.
"It looks like we've successfully destroyed the first spider nest," Lin Yuan said excitedly.
"Then let's head to the second spider's nest," Gu Chen said.
After eliminating the last Sharp Blade Venomous Spider, Gu Chen rested for a moment.
Xu Xia then continued navigating, and everyone began to head towards their next destination.
The two mirror images of the Blood Lord had vanished; the maximum duration of a mirror image was fifteen minutes.
Before the deadline, Gu Chen had converted all of the health points of the two mirror images into Blood Lord Venomous Spiders to replenish the team.
By now, the Blood Lord's transformed descendants had all exploded, and all 200 Blood Lord descendants had become Blood Lord Venomous Spiders.
Two hundred vampire spiders followed the navigation to open a path. After killing several groups of alien insects in the cave, everyone finally arrived near their destination.
"This is the second spider cave." Xu Xia pointed to the front.
After walking into a cave entrance that was only one person high, everyone came to a cave that was approximately oval in shape.
Looking up, the surrounding stone walls were covered with spider eggs that were larger than a human head. There were groups and patches of them that could not be counted with the naked eye.
"Spider eggs? There must be tens of thousands of them!"
Xu Xia, Lin Yuan and others turned pale and felt their scalps tingling for a moment.
