The second victor was an extraterrestrial mechanical species, actually slightly smaller than the native mechanical species' Combat Rooster, but not by much.

As the Combat Rooster devoured its prey, a red glow continuously flowed back and forth across its body, and as it fed, its body visibly began to grow.

In just a few dozen minutes, an extraterrestrial mechanical creature over ten meters long had been entirely consumed! The Combat Rooster's body had grown to twenty meters, about the size of a Blazing Mammoth Bug.

Clearly, they could hunt and kill each other to plunder that red glow, using it to fortify themselves.

The Combat Rooster was extremely gratified. The power it had lost due to severe wounds was fully recovered, and now it was even stronger than before.

It let out a roar to the sky, its mind becoming more active once again. Its mechanical eyes rattled as they turned, beginning to assess the comparative strength between them, wondering whether it could rebel and escape.

But Chen Gu shook his head slightly at it, "Foolish!"

The Combat Rooster immediately felt this judgment forcibly crammed into its brain, deeply engraved there.

Rebelling against its master was the ultimate folly!

The Combat Rooster humbled itself, making a mewing growl as it brought its huge head close to Chen Gu, requesting him to mount its back.

Gong Shuxu watched this scene with secret envy. Say what you will, but the abilities of these detestable "Brain Domain Hackers" can sometimes be really useful.

Chen Gu showed an expression of disgust. Only after several persistent pleas from the Combat Rooster did he reluctantly mount its back.

Then he gestured to the others, "Come on up."

The twenty-meter-long metal behemoth had no trouble carrying a few people on its back.

Although the Combat Rooster was reluctant, it dared not defy its master and dejectedly allowed the others to also climb aboard.

Chen Gu then urged it on, and the Combat Rooster dashed toward the direction of the third victor.

`「...」`

There was a narrow fissure in the open ground, hundreds of meters deep, with an entrance to an underground cavern. But now, that entrance was blocked by a large swarm of bugs.

Above the fissure, various bugs were also packed tightly together.

A group of native mechanical species was guarding a victor, effectively sealed within this fissure.

However, the Crawling Troop Nest Beetle, responsible for transmitting orders, had received no new commands for some time. It was intently working on modifying and tuning some powerful Blazing Mammoth Bugs, Giant Ghost Claw Bugs, and Piercing Arrow Bugs.

Its body had swollen to over a hundred meters, but it was only able to work on four giant bugs at a time.

It had already spent several hours, but there were fewer than twenty newly modified bugs surrounding the Troop Nest Beetle.

The native mechanical species were also very powerful and numerous. Those of their kind previously chased away by the Combat Rooster had all finally gathered around this third victor.

The Troop Nest Beetle continued to faithfully execute the Empress's orders. It had to modify over two hundred new bugs before they could begin the final hunt for the victor.

But at that moment, on the endless rock plain, a mechanical behemoth was already charging over. The Combat Rooster, its body ablaze with excitement, shone with both red and blue gleams, roaring as it charged into the swarm of bugs.

Chen Gu had intended to use the previous tactic of venturing alone, using his "Quantum Wizard" power to bring out the third victor.

But Gong Shuxu refused. He argued that the Empress had likely made preparations, and besides, his own strength had mostly recovered.

Thus, they decided to charge. The Combat Rooster's strength had greatly increased, and it was eager to display its power before its master. However, it quickly realized this wasn't much of a charge, nor an opportunity to showcase its might; from start to finish, it was a one-sided slaughter.

The old man on its back somehow managed to make the surrounding bugs not attack at all!

What the Combat Rooster needed to do was to use its claws and sharp teeth to carve a path through the dense swarm, then rush to the side of the third victor.

This third victor had originally been almost equal in strength to it, but after devouring another victor, the Combat Rooster's strength had far surpassed its opponent.

It charged almost unhindered to the third victor, who had no time to resist before being bitten, and then it turned around and charged back out!

Only then did the Troop Nest Beetle complete the transformation of one hundred and eight large bugs. Upon discovering the third victor had been abducted, it immediately sought instructions from the Empress. The Empress exploded in anger, hissing and screaming for the swarm to pursue.

This time, even Chen Gu couldn't help but admire. A high-level "Psychological Spy" was simply a game-breaking BUG in team battles. When they charged, even the Troop Nest Beetle was affected by Gong Shuxu's skill, mistaking them for allies.

It wasn't until the victor was taken away that it realized what had happened.

The Insect Race was incredibly fast, but the already enhanced Combat Rooster was even faster. As the Combat Rooster pulled further away, the only members of the Insect Race that could keep pace were the Rift Rush and the Void Devouring Insects in the sky.

At this moment, the Empress also realized that her previous command had delayed their opportunity. She immediately corrected the error, urging the other two swarms to quickly finish their battles.

The Empress reasoned that since this professional was already entangled by the insect swarm, they couldn't possibly appear at the other two locations.

On the other two battlefields, the insect swarm immediately launched a furious attack. However, the remaining extraterrestrial mechanical species were very strong. One group, aided by the Empress's earlier orders that had slowed the swarm's assault, had already broken out of the encirclement. The swarm was now desperately chasing them.

Chen Gu also knew time was pressing. He patted the wildly dashing Combat Rooster, "Eat it!"

Delighted, the Combat Rooster continued running while quickly gulping down the third victor, whom it had once fought alongside.

Another surge of red light began to flow inside the Combat Rooster, and the speed of its frenzied run actually became faster and faster, absorbing the benefits quicker than before.

The pursuing Dread Mosquitoes and Void Devouring Insects tried to keep up, but found their prey only grew faster and pulled further ahead.

With their limited intelligence, they couldn't understand how something running on the ground could possibly be faster than them flying in the air.

Eventually, the Dread Mosquitoes and the Void Devouring Insects lost track of them.

`「...」`

This extraterrestrial mechanical species victor was especially powerful, and it had the largest following of its kind.

They numbered about one-third of the surrounding Insect Race swarm.

The victor remained calm from beginning to end, coolly using its roars to direct its subordinates, resisting wave after wave of the Insect Race's assaults.

The Insect Race always fought without regard for casualties, typically relying on a colossal nest behind them to send a constant stream of reinforcements.

But this time was different; they had no support. The number of insects in combat plummeted rapidly. By the time the Empress's new orders arrived to press the attack, the swarm discovered its numbers were already roughly equal to those of the extraterrestrial mechanical species.

At that moment, the victor roared furiously, and the counterattack began! It led the charge, being the first to break out. With such a powerful leader, the Insect Race was instantly torn open, and the breach kept widening.
