Kuang Shao's mouth twitched violently twice, and he snapped:

"This is a third-tier calamity, for fuck's sake! Not only is it two whole tiers above us, it's a monster swarm made entirely of bugs!"
"With our shitty iron swords and stone spears, we can't even find its health bar! What the hell are we supposed to fight it with?"

Like an awakened behemoth from the Abyss, the pale cloud thrust several massive tentacles made of
