Chapter 411 -411-Entering the Insect Nest
Faced with the current situation, Caelan reflected on his approach.
The main reason was that the combat power and evolutionary ability of these bizarre creatures had far exceeded his expectations.
Although the Holy Undead clearly held quite a few advantages, if the battlefront could not advance, then none of it mattered. After all, behind these bizarre creatures, there was a constant stream of fresh reinforcements.
Do not forget, the Beta Sector was their territory!
In contrast, although the Holy Undead summoned by Caelan were indeed stronger in terms of individual combat power, they were ultimately born from Caelan’s summoning. If Caelan’s strength was exhausted, these Holy Undead would naturally disappear as well.
With one side rising while the other declined, Caelan knew he had to find a way to break the deadlock.
Just then, in a region farther away, a massive number of bizarre creatures gathered once again.
In particular, that enormous Insect Lord was staring in Caelan’s direction with the countless eyes across its body.
It seemed to have sensed that these Holy Undead were all Caelan’s summons. Because of that, when it looked at Caelan, there was even a hint of mockery in its gaze.
Caelan also sensed the Insect Lord’s gaze and met its eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Caelan understood what the other party seemed to be trying to express.
It was saying that Caelan was actually nothing special.
That his strength was not all that impressive.
At that moment, Avril beside him reminded him once again.
"Hey, you need to be even more careful! These bizarre creatures aren’t as simple as they look on the surface."
"Especially that Insect Lord in the back. It knows how to use tactics."
Avril’s warning was not baseless.
According to the information they had obtained, these bizarre creatures had once truly possessed the possibility of annihilating the Allied Host of All Races.
However, they had not done so.
Instead, they had deliberately chosen a drawn-out war of attrition, because that allowed them to evolve even more times.
All of this was enough to prove that these bizarre creatures were actually very intelligent. They possessed a certain degree of wisdom.
Faced with Avril’s warning, Caelan remained quite calm.
He merely nodded lightly, his expression peaceful and without the slightest ripple.
"Don’t worry. To me, this is just an appetizer."
Facing the mountain range formed from a sea of corpses in the distance, the Holy Undead might not be able to solve the problem on their own.
But what if he provided the Holy Undead with a little enhancement?
For example, adding the feeling of a [Bladestorm] onto the battlefield seemed like a pretty good idea.
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Avril and said in a flat tone, "Avril, have you ever seen [Bladestorm]?"
Avril: "???"
The next moment, Caelan drew the longsword from his back with one hand and swung it fiercely.
At the same time, at the very front line of the battlefield between the two sides, a violent [Bladestorm] erupted in the blink of an eye.
Countless sword blades swept forward like a storm scattering clouds, rapidly spreading toward the mountain range of corpses.
In just a few short breaths, the piled-up corpses were sliced by countless blades into tiny specks of dust.
Several breaths later, the battlefield had been completely cleared.
After losing the barrier they had used for cover, the bizarre creatures instinctively retreated.
After all, they knew very well just how terrifying the Holy Undead’s combat power was.
On the other side, the Holy Undead seemed to have been suppressed for far too long.
Seeing that the obstacle blocking their path had been cleared away, they immediately grew excited one by one. Waving the weapons in their hands, they charged toward the bizarre creatures and began slaughtering their way forward.
Caelan waved his hand and pointed toward the distant Insect Lord, loudly issuing his command.
"Go and kill every last one of these damned bizarre creatures! Don’t leave a single one alive!"
For a moment, the Holy Undead erupted with surging battle intent once again, and the entire situation on the battlefield underwent an earth-shaking change in an instant.
Against these bizarre creatures, the army of Holy Undead and the [Bladestorm] advanced almost unhindered, encountering no meaningful resistance at all.
Before long, they had slaughtered their way through the entire defensive line of the bizarre creatures.
Meanwhile, Caelan’s level also rose steadily, reaching Level 400 in one go.
At the same time, his level had reached its current limit, and he received a notification stating that he needed to complete a Star Ascension Quest.
A delighted smile appeared on Caelan’s face.
He had never expected to reach the level cap again so quickly, and his heart was filled with soaring ambition.
"Little skeletons, kill with me!"
Countless blades, meteors, and large numbers of little suns exploded across the surrounding battlefield.
Combined with the Holy Skeletons devouring the enemy like a swarm of locusts passing through, the army formed by the bizarre creatures had already collapsed into complete disorder.
Nothing unexpected happened on the battlefield after that.
The army of bizarre creatures was utterly routed, while Caelan personally took the lead and charged straight toward the Insect Lord.
However, what Caelan had not expected was that by the time he rushed over, the Insect Lord had already burrowed underground.
Without the slightest hesitation, Caelan turned and prepared to head underground as well.
But just as he turned around, Avril, who had followed him over, gently pressed a hand onto his shoulder.
"Hey, human, you’d better think this through carefully. This is the insects’ lair. Aren’t you afraid of being ambushed inside?"
"Though, seriously speaking, according to our research and judgment, the Celestial Realm core is very likely hidden here."
Caelan nodded.
After hearing Avril say this, he knew that he had to explore this insect lair.
Thus, he turned around and entered the Insect Nest without the slightest hesitation.
Avril hesitated for a moment on the other side before following behind him.
After all, her duty as a guide had not yet been completed.
However, after the two of them entered the Insect Nest, they were stunned by the vast and empty scene before them.
This Insect Nest was even larger than they had imagined.
Everywhere they looked, there were interconnecting tunnels stretching in all directions.
Each of these passageways was more than three meters wide, more than enough for Caelan and Avril to easily venture deeper inside.
What surprised them, however, was that at this very moment, there was not a single bizarre creature anywhere inside the entire Insect Nest.
Clearly, this was not normal.
Avril and Caelan exchanged a glance.
Both of them saw concern in each other’s eyes.
However, since they had already come this far, neither of them had any intention of retreating.
Avril could only give Caelan a look that told him to be careful.
Caelan nodded.
Then he ordered the Holy Undead to guard the entrance, while he and Avril entered the depths of the nest.
The nest covered an enormous area, so vast that it even exceeded Caelan’s detection range.
Just then, Avril suddenly took out a metallic sphere from her storage space.
"Wait a moment. Let me see if I can locate the Celestial Realm core."
