"Do you mean the Celestial Calamity God has been keeping an eye on those several bodies?"

"Not just watching, but issuing orders, and occasionally descending with divine presence, even if it's just a wisp of consciousness, it's extremely powerful," Shen Jun said.

"The Celestial Calamity Envoy personally heading to the Great Battlefield of Dragons and Giants should be under the advice of the Celestial Calamity God?"

Shen Jun looked around and whispered, "The Demon Worship Sect is spreading the rumor that the Celestial Calamity Envoy had a revelation to enter the Great Battlefield to find a special item. Cultivating White Lake there is just incidental. His Majesty the Celestial Calamity God's goal is finding that item."

"I see... Wait a minute, if the Celestial Calamity God is going to search, does that mean he may arrive early?"

"He probably won't descend with too much power, just a wisp of consciousness. Besides, the Great Battlefield can't withstand too strong a power."

"Will we also go at that time?"

"I don't want to go; that's a battlefield of Dragons and Giants, we'd be no different from cannon fodder."

"This time, it seems we're also considered cannon fodder..."

"No, this time even the Innate Ones will benefit, it's far easier than the Great Battlefield. In the Great Battlefield, even Fierce Beasts and giant insects get involved."

"There's been enough death on the youth battlefield; no Fierce Beasts or giant insects have gone. If these two races are added, wouldn't it turn into chaos?"

"So let's not go to our deaths."

"What is His Majesty the Celestial Calamity God looking for?"

"Who knows, the big shots of Ten Realms are all speculating. If the Great Battlefield didn't open just a corner each time, limiting power, those Demigod Martial Saints would have stormed in already."

Outside the city.

Zhou Leng, Cyan Flame, Vigorous Root, and three other Tree-men, six Innate Ones in total, moved swiftly forward.

The Tree-men's speed was slightly slower, but being Innate Ones, their coiled roots writhed rapidly, achieving running speeds of over 20 meters per second.

Slow speed, strong endurance.

Vigorous Root briefly explained the operation while running.

"This time the Giant Insect Race is making big moves."

"Not only contacting Demons, but also involving Sea Sirens and the Demon Worship Sect, the most challenging part is the action of the Celestial Calamity Envoy."

"Unexpectedly, the Demons also want to plunder the Tree-men's resources."

"Tree-men are individually strong, have strong Life Force, but are too stubborn and conservative. Not like you humans, flexible and dynamic, especially Dragon Country, first in organizational ability in Ten Realms."

"Although your Dragon Country's organizational ability is being undermined internally by Demons and the Demon Worship Sect through various means, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse. As long as the Ten Realms War continues, there won't be issues for your Dragon Country. But when the Ten Realms War ends, the volcano left by Demons and the Demon Worship Sect will inevitably erupt."

"We Tree-men are currently very pessimistic. Because Demons found you humans are a tough nut to crack, they consider Tree-men a breakthrough point."

"Some of the Tree-man Elders' minds have already decayed, just as arrogant and ignorant as the Wild Elf Empire back then."

"They still believe that as long as there's the Tree of Life, they can control everything, not fearing giant insects, it's laughable."

"Therefore, we young Tree-men have no choice but to take action."

"Our strength is limited, cannot kill too strong giant insects; power is limited, cannot influence the big picture, can only gain advantage bit by bit through small guerrilla warfare, much like how the Giant Insect Race devoured the Elf Empire back in the day."

Zhou Leng said, "Theoretically, your guerrilla warfare can only be fought in the forest, right?"

"Indeed, our running speed is slow, besides relying on the forest, there's no other way."

"Take it slowly, there's always a way."

Zhou Leng looked up ahead.

On the earth, clearly visible were pits, stumps, and overturned grasslands.

Vigorous Root looked at the ravaged land, sighed, "The giant insects also don't dare fight us in the forest, so whenever they move on a large scale, devour all trees, leave no grass, not giving us the slightest chance."

"Let's study the battle with the giant insects as we walk..."

As they walked, Vigorous Root suddenly waved a branch, "Wait."

Zhou Leng and Cyan Flame looked at Vigorous Root.

Vigorous Root said, "We received news from underground roots, a small group of giant insects is right in front of us, having just chased a few of our Tree-men brothers. There are about seven Innate Ones, over twenty Qi Blood Realm, several heavily injured, similar strength to us. Let's fight first, even if we can't win, as long as we hold on, reinforcements will arrive swiftly."

"Let's go." Zhou Leng and Cyan Flame were fearless.

The team quickly moved towards the location of the giant insect group.

Vigorous Root said, "The most powerful on the other side is a Blood Shocking Innate, giant horned insect, whole body shell hard and smooth, looks like a large rhinoceros beetle, a bit bigger than a typical elephant... also there's a giant green caterpillar... a giant locust... Overall, none are particularly powerful. The giant locust can fly, has strong jumping ability but average speed..."

Zhou Leng quickly examined the information on his demonized watch, checking data and weaknesses of these giant insects.

The giant green caterpillar is similar to a hairy caterpillar, sprays poison, emits poisonous darts, forehead is very fragile.

Giant locust can fly, has a terrifying jaw strength, wings sharp as blades, jumping legs strong, just damage the two thick hind legs, and it can't fight any longer.

Giant horned insect can fly short distances, has a hard, smooth shell, the horn on its head is strong for collisions, has no weak point.

"Hmm?" Zhou Leng looked again at the giant horned insect.

"Is the giant horned insect really without a weak point?" Zhou Leng asked.

Vigorous Root said, "The giant horned insect is a balanced type giant insect, no big weaknesses, no big advantages either. We Tree-men's method to deal with them is to hard kill."

Zhou Leng said, "I've never fought giant insects before, how about this, Cyan Flame, use the Demon Spirit Technique to trap several heads, then we clear the other giant insects one by one. Leave the last giant horned insect to me."

"You really want to fight the giant horned insect alone?" Everyone looked at Zhou Leng.

"I just want to try, if it doesn't work, then you help out."

Cyan Flame said, "The power of giant insects is second only to Fierce Beasts, their defense capability is first in Ten Realms, are you sure?"

"Only by trying can we know if it's possible," Zhou Leng said.

"You martial artists..." Cyan Flame shook his head, Demon Spirit Masters seldom take such risks.

The team discussed tactics while running.

Before long, they entered the primitive forest.

The trees were lush, and the ground was covered with thick layers of fallen leaves and humus.

The trees were extremely tall, often forty to fifty meters, somewhat resembling the trees in the world of Fierce Beasts.

Vigorous Root whispered, "This place is not suitable for Alien Race because the Giant Insects have a strong sense of perception. Once approached, they can quickly discover the alien. We Tree-men are one with nature, and our breath is almost identical to the trees, so the Giant Insects cannot detect us, but it will be difficult for you. Oh, the Demon Spirit Master can."

Cyan Flame chuckled.

Two Demon Spirit Balls floated on his shoulders, the left was a Flame Ball, and the right was an Ice Frost Ball.

The Ice Frost Demon Spirit Ball transformed into the shape of a silver fish, emanating strands of icy breath that surrounded Cyan Flame.

"Now, my breath won't leak out."

Everyone turned to Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng took out a demonized spray and sprayed it on himself.

Vigorous Root said, "The effect is not great, but it's better than nothing. If they spot you, don't panic."

"Getting closer, lighten your steps," Vigorous Root whispered.

The roots of the four Tree-men moved, making only slight noise as they touched the leaves.

Cyan Flame used Demon Spirit Technique, flew off the ground.

Zhou Leng employed Lightweight Skill, slowed down, making very little sound as he stepped.

Soon, Vigorous Root signaled to further slow down.

Zhou Leng and the others looked ahead.

In front, a large tree had collapsed, and the ground was in disarray.

A group of Giant Insects lay on the ground, dividing a Tree-man corpse.

Crunch, crunch...

The sound of dense chewing came.

The team stopped.

The Tree-men glanced strangely at Zhou Leng, so close, yet the Giant Insects hadn't detected Zhou Leng's breath, unsure of what method he used.

Vigorous Root ordered, the six people charged forward according to the previously discussed tactics.

All the Giant Insects suddenly lifted their heads, looking over.

With pitch-black shells, the giant horned insects resembled large pythons, giant green insects, giant locusts the size of small cars...

The swarm roared and came forward.

Cyan Flame gently raised his hand, the Ice Demon Spirit exhaled forward, a giant ice wall pierced through the insect swarm, creating a lot of frost on the left side, freezing the enemies.

Cyan Flame continuously cast spells, creating illusions, affecting the Giant Insects on the left side.

Zhou Leng and five others charged straight for the right side of the ice wall.

Ignoring the Qi Blood Realm Giant Insects, heading directly for the four Innate Giant Insects.

In the blink of an eye, spanning a hundred meters.

Zhou Leng first followed behind the Tree-men, carefully observing.

Suddenly, two giant locusts simultaneously kicked their legs, vibrating their wings.

Buzz...

A strange sound arose, the two giant locusts charged at two Tree-men at terrifying speeds approaching subsonic.

The Tree-men couldn't evade, their head branches and trunk's roots simultaneously extended, like a swarm of snakes, binding the giant locusts, and flew backward, with leaves and wood chips flying everywhere.

Vigorous Root was hit by a giant locust against a tree, the tree collapsed with a crash, and tree and insect entwined fell together.

Giant locusts frantically bit and scrambled, while Vigorous Root either slapped or entangled, both sides were evenly matched momentarily.

Zhou Leng rushed forward, True Qi surged in his hands, arms expanded, grasping a giant locust's hind leg.

He suddenly twisted his hands, binding force poured into the insect's leg, penetrating the joint.

Then, both hands pulled outward forcefully.

Pop...

A thick locust hind leg was pulled out, two to three meters long, resembling a large folding knife, covered in sharp spikes. Zhou Leng's hands weren't injured holding the leg, but his skin was pierced by these spikes.

At the severed end, the translucent muscle twitched like skinned frog legs, full of high-quality protein, more than king crab leg meat, which was stored into the Magic Spirit Bag.

The giant locust screamed miserably.

Zhou Leng didn't give it a chance, moved to the other side, grabbed another leg, twisted and pulled, breaking the leg.

"Excellent!" Vigorous Root had long witnessed Zhou Leng's ferocity, didn't expect him to remain fierce after advancing to Innate.

That was the leg of an Innate Giant Insect, even ordinary knives and axes couldn't leave a mark on it.

With one giant locust's strength weakened, Zhou Leng went straight to the next spider-binding locust Tree-man, using the same method, broke the locust legs, and stored them into the Magic Spirit Bag.

Turning his head to look, the other two Tree-men were each entangled with one giant green insect and one giant hairy insect, while also having small Innate Realm insects on them.

But those small insects were like toothless children, unable even to gnaw through the bark of the Innate Tree-men.

Giant green insects and giant hairy insects were similar, except the latter had more and longer poisonous hairs.
