Chapter 113: Chapter 29: The Fall of the Mad Lion

"Split Breeding, truly formidable..."

As Bai Sheng, who had been granted access, could also view the panel.

[Split (Gold): Gain a Nutrition Value upper limit of 350 (Life Value upper limit) points, use 350 points of Nutrition Value or 300 points of Magic Power Value to split once, clone oneself using self as the template, the clone inherits all attributes of the original]

"Then, release 600 and go reinforce the garrison! Eliminate them quickly!"

The Swarm Network faithfully transmitted this command into the Erosion Worms’ group consciousness, and the latter divided up the Insect Swarm going for reinforcement in less than a second.

Erosion Worms scattered in the corners of the settlement, still feasting on corpses, felt the call of the group consciousness. Those closest to the garrison immediately took flight, showing no reluctance to leave their meals.

Sensing the movement of the Erosion Worms, Bai Sheng switched to the perspective of Fei Wen stationed at the garrison.

Led by two Sphinxes, the pride of lions behind them occasionally unleashed Lightning, Wind Blades, and Ice Spears, consuming the numbers of the needle erosion insects from a distance.

Loosely standing in front of the lion pride were Transcendents wielding Blade Knives, fending off the melee attacks of the Insect Swarm, their skin constantly corroded and then healed—these were likely the Butchers.

The other low-level Transcendents left were only a few lucky ones, hiding among the lion pride, countering with bows and crossbow bolts.

It was only during the occasional bright flashes brought by Lightning that Bai Sheng noticed that not all lions looked like the entirely red ones encountered last time.

Instead, they were a mix of appearances: some completely white with a tinge of light blue, others the classic red, and still others deep blue, clearly not of the same species.

Or rather, not cultivated from the same Extraordinary Relic.

However, judging solely by the frequency of their spellcasting, they didn’t seem too strong, probably all at the level of 3rd Level Transcendents.

It was unclear what their corresponding Transcendent professions were.

The surrounding Erosion Worms rushed over as fast as they could, but they did not immediately start attacking. Instead, they gathered on one side, waiting for their comrades to arrive.

After the last Erosion Worm arrived, the rhythm of the entire Insect Swarm changed again.

The needle erosion insects, which previously relied on their speed advantage, suddenly dispersed, and larger Erosion Worms glowing faintly emerged from the dense wall of insects!

Seeing this, the lion pride quickly released a wave of spells in an attempt to block these intruders, identical to the insects they had faced.

But the legs of the Erosion Worms were covered in Space Blades, some even combining with the "Finger Blades" of the "Gardeners," intercepting the spells one by one.

Only the Lightning hit the Erosion Worms, but these relatively weak electric shocks couldn’t cause much damage to the Erosion Worms, which had flame resistance—only numbing their entire body.

Soon, however, the neighboring Erosion Worms would grab them, sparing them the fate of falling to the ground and being trampled to death.

And the Erosion Worms that had breached the barrage of spellfire relied on their sharp limbs to paint the lion pride in sprays of blood.

After the addition of the Space Element, their limbs and wings became extremely sharp, capable of effortlessly slicing through bone.

Just one charge left only two Beastified 4th Level Transcendents standing on the ground.

With the battlefield situation decided here, Bai Sheng turned his attention to the Beast Ring in the center of the settlement.

The battle there had also begun, and this time, the 5th Level Transcendent did not hide but transformed into a Dragon Man and rushed out at the start of the fight.

Along with him were two even more massive lions.

One’s body swelled, standing upright with limbs thickening like those of a Black Bear.

Another flashed white in the eyes, paws striking the ground, causing the surrounding rocks and debris to levitate and smash into the needle erosion insects in the air.

The former was obviously a 4th Level Transcendent, just like the two Beastmen who fought stubbornly earlier, and the latter’s attack strength was also lower than that of the Bright Lion encountered last time.

Although there was a restraining factor last time, but this time this lion was not limited, and most likely it was just strength at the level of a 4th Level Transcendent.

Nonetheless, to be safe, Bai Sheng had Fei Wen comb through every corner of the surrounding buildings to avoid hiding something big like the Dragon Man last time.

Upon checking, indeed a few lions hidden in the buildings were found.

But looking at the numbers, it was unlikely that there was a 5th Level Transcendent, and even if there was one, with preparation in advance, there was no need for fear.

Moreover, according to previous experience, as long as the Dragon Man was killed early, those Transcendent creatures would lose control.

Seeing this, Bai Sheng no longer hesitated, gathering the Erosion Worms, which had split once again to reach a count of two thousand, together. After issuing a command to attack through the Swarm Network, he turned his head towards Bai Fa.

The latter immediately understood, lifting the scales, and a familiar rule unfolded once again.

"No transformations allowed here!"

Experienced from once before, the needle erosion insects initiated their attack the moment the Dragon Man underwent Mutation. The Erosion Worms, half a second behind, also charged forward.

Three Erosion Worms that had undergone the ritual and successfully transitioned professions had their tail needles attached with Space Element and Finger Blades, becoming incomparably sharp and aiming straight for the Dragon Man’s face.

The previous battle had proven that even for Dragon Men, a fatal injury would still result in severe harm, and piercing their heads would kill them just the same!

But just as the Erosion Worms’ tail needles were about to make contact with the Dragon Man, they stopped eerily in mid-air.

No matter how their wings trembled, the Erosion Worms could not move the slightest bit.

Observing from the perspective of Fei Wen, Bai Sheng quickly realized what was happening.

It was the Sphinx that had appeared along with the Dragon Man and controlled debris as an attack, a force far more familiar to Bai Sheng than even the Insect Swarm!

This was Telekinesis!

The Swarm Consciousness quickly grasped the essence of this force and began to lever Telekinesis to wrestle against the Sphinx’s power.

Although the Insect Swarm’s mastery of Telekinesis was more oriented toward Spiritual damage, the powerful Telekinesis stacked by tens of thousands of insects easily overpowered the Sphinx’s strength and even rebounded upon the Sphinx itself.

The Dragon Man had just recovered from the reversal of his transformation and was once again scoured by Telekinesis, blood seeping from his mouth and nose; his eyes turned bloodshot, glaring furiously at the swarm above in the sky.

At this moment, he no longer concealed himself; lions hiding in the surroundings broke cover and rushed toward the battlefield.

But for those that had already been discovered, the Insect Swarm was well prepared.

After they charged, groups of Erosion Worms numbering in hundreds found each of them, disregarding casualties, they leapt onto the lions and injected their tail needles and Poison Injection into the lions’ bodies.

Witnessing this scene, the Dragon Man, who had reverted to human form, felt a chill in his heart.

He could feel that his lion troops had been decimated, and even the lions that had reached level 4 Transcendent were struggling to save themselves, let alone come to his aid.

And those insects...

This endless swarm covering the sky...

Fury ignited in his heart. He swung his claws and shredded an approaching insect, then let out a roar that even he could not hear clearly.

Had he been ambushed by Zhuchen or even attacked by the Sun Church Court, he would not have been so infuriated.

But this sky full of Extraordinary Insect Swarm, he knew, there could only be one person capable of this!

Could it be that he finally couldn’t restrain himself, wanting to seize the Federation’s voice...

Even at the cost of annihilating the Mad Lion...

To think that in the end, he would perish at the hands of his own.

The Dragon Man lamented in his heart, but even having "guessed" the identity of the attacker, he still did not lose his will to fight.

Sending out the final orders to the remaining beasts through his Extraordinary Ability, the Dragon Man’s eyes reddened, his body gained a bit of strength, and he swung his invisible claws towards the sky.

But neither the Insect Swarm nor Bai Sheng was interested in the Dragon Man’s psychological journey.

One or two needle corrosion insects rushing up were only delivering themselves to death, but once their numbers reached a certain threshold, the Dragon Man’s claws could no longer stop them all.

His legs, back, and even head were covered by the swarm. The Poison Liquid infiltrated the Dragon Man’s body through the insects’ limbs and tail needles.

The human form covered by the swarm struggled for over ten seconds but eventually collapsed powerlessly, its head pierced with several bloody holes.

White and red flowed out along the blood holes.

This battle lasted a total of half an hour until Fei Wen confirmed that there were no other living creatures left in the settlement, marking the end.

From this point on, the Mad Lion Tribe was completely eradicated from Emilia.

And as a price...

During the recent battle, to protect the Erosion Worms and ensure their reproduction, nearly five thousand needle erosion insects were dead or injured.

For them, as more powerful individuals, the Erosion Worms deserved more; only then could they bring greater benefits to the Queen.

Even now, they would have no complaints if they, if the needle corrosion insect swarm, became the fodder for the reproduction of the Erosion Worms.

And as for Bai Sheng, who had been commanding from the start, feeling the Insect Swarm’s tremendous force, she even dared to declare boldly.

As long as there were no level 6 Transcendents, she was confident she could push through the entire Emilia within three days!

...

Levis: Hailing from the Barbarian Bear Tribe, this "Great Hero" of Emilia, with his own formidable strength and the Hundred Beasts Army, although unwilling to admit it, he was indeed the strongest among us. However, it seems like he has vanished from everyone’s sight for quite some time, even our spies have not been able to locate his whereabouts...
