The swarm ran rampant. Amid the densely packed Bug Tide, a tall scarlet figure charged like a wolf and crashed about like a boar, the Dragon Spine Blade swinging again and again, cleaving out one enormous blood-red saber light after another. The Insect Race around him was constantly cleared away, only for still more to flood in and fill the gaps, over and over without end.
The Insect Race feared no death. Many of them, even on the verge of dying, would still bite with all their strength, or activate their own unique abilities. Those abilities came in every strange variety: spiderlike insects spat silk, while antlike insects sprayed highly corrosive mucus.
In an instant, the scene boiled over. Dense, ceaseless sounds rang out from the Dragon Seat, and after only a brief exchange, the scarlet Artificer Armor had already become mottled with every color.
Inside the Dragon Seat, Lu Ye spread out his Divine Sense, searching the vast swarm for the auras of Divine Sea Realm insects. The moment he sensed one, he charged over and killed without hesitation.
Though the swarm was enormous, the ones that truly posed a massive threat to the pass's defensive line were still these Divine Sea Realm insects. His strength alone was ultimately a single tree unable to support the collapsing sky; even clad in the Dragon Seat, it was impossible for him to slaughter every last insect. So he had to cut down as much of the swarm's high-end combat strength as possible. Only then could he lessen the pressure on the pass.
Especially the dozen or so Canine Insects he had encountered on his way here. If he could not take the opportunity to deal with them, then no matter how many insects he killed, it would be of no help.
