The Spiritual Qi also belongs to the realm of spiritual abilities, which was awakened by Huang through a unique method.

Zhang Xuezhou estimated that Turkalando's ability was a special kind of ability related to seduction, charm, and gentleness. Some beautiful women or leaders had similar abilities, only to varying degrees.

Using this ability to kill an opponent is extremely difficult, but if it's just used to buy time, Turcalandor undoubtedly has some ability.

In the struggle, Turkalando managed to subdue four alien insects that were trying to escape, while Zhang Xuezhou swiftly killed another one.

Combining the Zerg huddled together in a defensive formation with the Zerg controlled by Ren Anran, they nearly annihilated each other in a small-scale battle.

The conflict started very quickly and ended just as quickly; the skirmish lasted only two minutes.

Looking at the enormous insect corpses lying haphazardly on the ground, still showing signs of nervous activity, everyone felt a chill run down their spines and their faces flushed.

While everyone was still figuring out how to storm the giant moth's lair, the alien insects had already launched a mindless attack and ran right into them.

With the underlings all wiped out, dealing with the giant moth will undoubtedly be much less troublesome. At least everyone will no longer need to face a barrage of attacks, but will only need to focus on preventing the giant moth from attacking.

The cave was filled with countless insect corpses, which Zhang Xuezhou swiftly cut into to extract the demon cores.

Normally, they would need to capture live animals for research and to prove the success of clearing the Gobala Cave corridor, but there are too many strange creatures hiding in this cave, and the group's abilities are not sufficient to hunt live animals.

After all the fighting, Zhang Xuezhou took out the demon core, which was the best possible solution.

"Damn it, that giant moth must have come out. Let's get out of here in a narrow, winding area!"

As Zhang Xuezhou tossed the fourth demon core he had picked, a sharp, echoing sound came from a distant cave, causing his expression to change drastically, and he even forgot about the insect corpses.

Upon hearing Zhang Xuezhou's voice, everyone quickly scattered and fled.

Inside the cave, countless cacophony of sharp, piercing sounds echoed back and forth, like countless blacksmiths hammering iron blocks, converging into a torrent of ear-piercing noise.

It didn't take much imagination for anyone to understand that getting close to the giant moth would likely cause instantaneous hearing loss from the sonic waves, and could even rupture eardrums.

Thin, oxygen-deficient, and toxic air, a dark environment, cave-like terrain, and the ability to generate sound waves—this is indeed the domain of these creatures.

"What's the point of building such high walls inside a cave? Is our chief just making things difficult for us?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

The sounds of arguing drifted from afar. Just as Turkalando turned to look and try to hear more clearly, Zhang Xuezhou grabbed her right hand and pulled her away.

The thought of eavesdropping vanished from her mind in an instant, and she ran and jumped with even more speed, surpassing Ren Anran who was several steps ahead.

"Lustful sights can arouse desire!"

Ren Anran silently complained about Turkalando in her heart.

If Zhang Xuezhou hadn't forcibly pulled Turkalando away, Ren Anran would have also wondered why human voices could be heard coming from deep within the cave.

"After a demon refines its tongue, it will gain the ability to mimic speech, just like a parrot. It can learn some languages in a short period of time, and even become fluent in a language!"

The questions that Turcalando and Ren Anran had were not difficult to answer.

Zhang Xuezhou was perfectly aware that there were no living people within a range of three or four hundred meters behind him, let alone two people discussing repairing the wall.

This ability could either be a collective hallucination or a result of their encounter with a powerful demon who learned human language while secretly lurking in the shadows.

"You took one extra box, which adds 40,000 to my account... Ugh~"

These learned words drifted through the cave, interspersed with screams.

Without guidance or mentorship from experienced Demon Race, novice demons often find themselves in this situation: even if they learn to speak, they won't understand its meaning and will be unable to use it effectively.

As Zhang Manqian threw a flare, Zhang Xuezhou glanced back and saw a huge black shadow flying behind a boulder in the cave passage.

The intense light from the flare's instantaneous ignition clearly attracted the giant creature.

Zhang Xuezhou saw green venom fly out, and then a thin tube nearly five meters long wrapped around the flare.

"What a pity about the thin air here!"

Although flares are used for illumination, the light is generated by intense combustion, which involves internal reactions at temperatures of thousands of degrees Celsius.

This type of ammunition is not lethal, but if a normal person reaches out and grabs a burning flare, Zhang Xuezhou guarantees that their hand will be instantly roasted into a pig's trotter; even a heat-resistant Sequence Holder would find it difficult to withstand.

Zhang Manqian's flare not only illuminated the giant moth's tracks, but also caused this naive creature to suffer a great loss.

A piercing scream echoed around them, accompanied by the howling sound of giant moths flapping their wings.

Countless poisonous phosphorus powders were sprayed down from the opponent's wings, creating a dust storm in the cave.

"Oops!"

Zhang Xuezhou was just lamenting that the thin air inside the cave would make it difficult for the flares to burn for a long enough time.

But then he had a bad feeling, realizing that the air in the cave wasn't thin enough and the flares had been burning for too long.

"Hide!"

He only managed to utter one word before the explosion came from behind.

When dust reaches a certain concentration in a confined space and encounters a heat source such as an open flame, the flame will instantly spread to the space where the dust exists. The reaction speed is extremely fast, and at the same time, a large amount of heat is released, forming high temperature and high pressure. The continuously generated pressure will produce shock waves, so once an explosion occurs, it will produce a very strong explosive force...

The simple principle had only briefly passed through Zhang Xuezhou's mind when the sound of an explosion rang out behind him.

There were passages at the front and back of the cave, but the scales and powder generated by the giant moth's flapping wings were so numerous that they reached an explosive level.

Ignited by the flames of the flare, a muffled explosion rang out in a mere instant.

A violent shockwave swept past, carrying countless pebbles. Just as Zhang Xuezhou pulled Turkalando down to crouch, he felt himself being hit by some pebbles.

Before he could even feel the pain in his body, he felt his feet slipping and the cave becoming increasingly shaky.

A dull thud followed, and stones rained down in the area. Even the huge, strange rock they had temporarily used for shelter creaked and tilted to the side.

This terrified Zhang Xuezhou, who felt that they were in for a bad time and might be wiped out.
