Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Soon countless arrows were shot again, but the number had become less. A large number of arrows had been consumed before, and the supply was almost insufficient. The insect beasts rushed to the front again. When the front-row soldiers were about to collapse, the cavalry charged again and reversed the situation, but in the end only less than a few hundred cavalry returned safely.

Everyone knew that this was the final moment, and soon the insects and beasts began to charge again. At the same time, countless flying insects and beasts were flying over from the distant sky.

Zhang Chen rushed directly to the front 20 meters, took advantage of the gap between the two sides, performed the earth trap technique, hid himself in it, and at the same time drilled out from 50 meters away. A transparent silk thread was laid out by Zhang Chen. Following the same method, Zhang Chen used the double-feather flying needles to lay a 45-meter-long and half-meter-high tripwire.

Soon the insect beasts rushed to the front, not noticing anything was wrong, and ran quickly past the silk threads. However, they fell down with a look of pain on their faces less than ten meters away, and their bodies fell to the ground and broke into two.

The soldiers in the front row were shocked when they saw this scene. Knowing that it was Zhang Chen's trick, they all showed joy on their faces. Soon, the corpses of insects and beasts piled up more and more.

But the situation on the entire battlefield was still very unfavorable to them. The insect beasts in other places had already come into contact with the front-line soldiers, and the flying insect beasts in the sky were about to arrive. It was only a matter of time before they were defeated.

Just when the flying insect beasts were about to reach the sky where the two sides were fighting, dozens of sword lights rushed out from a distance at high speed and began to strangle the flying insect beasts in the air. Pieces of insect corpses and the stones they brought with them to attack the army kept falling down and all smashed into the insect swarm, causing the attacking insect swarm to pause and its attack was affected.

Zhang Chen looked excited, as this meant support from the sect had arrived. Turning around, he discovered that ten huge spirit ships had also arrived from behind, each carrying dozens of disciples.

After all the disciples got off the boat, they all rushed to the front and joined the battle. Various spells were cast, and the battle line that was on the verge of collapse immediately began to stabilize. However, the continuous attacks of the swarms of insects also made this stability continue to waver.

The people flying in the sky with swords to fight the enemies seemed to be aware of this situation. After blocking the flying insect beasts for a while, they united together and rushed into the depths of the insect swarm, attacking the insect queen directly.

Soon Zhang Chen saw turmoil within the Zerg swarm. A part of the Zerg formation on the front line was in disarray. They were not as fearless as before, and their attack intensity also declined.

The human army also took advantage of the situation to reorganize their formation and replenish their weapons. The personnel in the rear also moved to the front to fill in the positions. Finally, they managed to block the Zerg's attack. The battle between the two sides on the battlefield entered a stalemate.

In the middle of the insect swarm, dozens of disciples in the foundation-building stage are constantly searching for the insect mother. They have killed three insect mothers, but this is not enough. They observed the situation on the battlefield and found that the two sides are temporarily in a weak balance. It was all thanks to them that they killed the insect mothers and caused chaos to the insect swarm. Otherwise, the human army would have collapsed.

Soon they found the location of the Insect Mother and immediately attacked in groups. The giant insect beasts protecting the Insect Mother were simply unable to stop them. Only the Insect Mother's mental attack could cause them a lot of trouble, but they were all prepared, cooperated with each other, and protected each other, so they managed to escape without any danger.

But even so, the situation of the battle cannot be reversed, because the characteristics of many insect queens are not very obvious. The insect queen is not a single type of insect beast, but all insect beasts have the potential to become insect queens. Therefore, there are many insect queens similar to ordinary insect beasts, mixed in with countless insect beasts. In addition, the light is dim at night, and it is difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye. This is the biggest trouble.

So when they could no longer find the Zerg Queen, they flew on their swords to block the flying Zerg beasts. At the same time, when the front row could not hold on, they went to support. Both sides were engaged in a bitter battle, with many lives being lost all the time. The battle lasted until dawn, when the Zerg began to retreat.

Seeing the Zerg retreat, all the living people breathed a sigh of relief. Having survived a disaster, everyone's tense nerves relaxed at this moment. Many soldiers simply lay down on the ground, looking at the sunlight and began to come back to their senses.

The next step was to clean up the battlefield, count casualties, and replenish consumption. The human race suffered over 100,000 casualties in this night's battle, and the Zerg dragged away most of the bodies when they retreated. Although the exact number is unknown, it was definitely several times the human race's casualties.

Those disciples who had the foundation-building cultivation level and were able to fly with swords began to investigate, and soon learned that the swarm of insects had completely retreated, and there was no swarm of insects in the Wuyun City ahead. After carefully investigating and analyzing the pros and cons, they sent everyone to Wuyun City for defense.

Zhang Chen and his fellow disciples took the lead and entered Wuyun City first. The generals then led the remaining soldiers in to set up defenses. Only by using Wuyun City could they block the subsequent insect swarm attacks.

Soon Zhang Chen and his companions arrived at Wuyun City. The city was already in ruins, with traces of crawling insects everywhere. Many houses had been knocked down. They continued to go deeper and came to the city wall where there was a gap between the two mountains. At this time, all the secret doors under the city wall were open, and it was obvious that the insects had retreated through this place.

Zhang Chen walked towards both sides of the mountain and saw many large black holes. These were the passages left by the swarm of insects that broke through the two mountains. Looking at the large holes, Zhang Chen and his companions did not dare to go in rashly, fearing that there might be an ambush of insects inside.

Afterwards, the disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage arranged for the disciples in the Qi Condensation Stage to guard each cave entrance and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive and set up defenses.

In order to motivate everyone's morale, Zhang Sihu, the leader of the rescue team, set up rewards. If ten low-level insect beasts were killed, one low-grade spirit stone would be given. If it was a queen insect guarding an insect beast, one would get a hundred spirit stones in exchange for the insect beast's head.

When Zhang Chen and several fellow disciples were on their way to the passage they were assigned to guard, they heard people next to them talking about killing the Insect Mother and getting a reward of 20,000 lower-grade spirit stones. However, they found the Insect Mother's location and reported it. In the end, the Insect Mother was killed, and the person who reported the location was also rewarded with 2,000 lower-grade spirit stones.

Zhang Chen looked at the eager-looking fellow disciples around him and shook his head. They were already extremely lucky to be able to detect the location of the Insect Mother. If they were in the Qi Condensation stage, they would forget about killing the Insect Mother. Even a single Foundation Establishment disciple would be in danger of death, let alone them. Zhang Chen remembered Liu Liankun, who was killed in the last sneak attack on the desperate Insect Mother.

At this time, Zhang Chen and seven of his fellow disciples arrived at the passage they were defending. It was noon, the sun was scorching, and everyone was a little bored.

"It's useless for us to stay here. The insect swarm hides during the day and comes out at night. They will definitely not come out now. Why don't we go in and investigate together? Then we can take the opportunity to kill some insect beasts and earn some spirit stones. If we find the trace of the insect queen, it will be an unexpected gain."

At this time, a man in a purple robe looked at the cave entrance and gave suggestions to everyone.

Zhang Chen looked at the purple-robed man with a full beard and couldn't tell his age. Zhang Chen felt the spiritual pressure he exuded.

"Eighth level of Qi Condensation, if you don't hide your cultivation like me."

Zhang Chen now used the Qi Condensing Technique to control the spiritual pressure he exuded to the sixth level of Qi Condensation. The rest of his fellow disciples were basically at the sixth or seventh level.

Everyone looked at each other and were eager to try. The spiritual energy had been restored and there was no point in waiting, so they might as well go in and check it out. Zhang Chen saw that they all had this intention and didn't want to spoil their fun, so he had to go in at the end.
