However, these two soul-devouring bugs were extremely powerful, almost matching the combat strength of Qingyun-ranked individuals, and their size was merely that of a palm. Hence, most of the violent attacks from these Western experts missed their target.

This group of Westerners were all highly skilled, but the soul-devouring bugs were formidable and moved incredibly fast, making it difficult for these Western powerhouses to capture them even for a moment.

"Croc No.!"

Among the group of Westerners, there was one figure mixed in. When Ye Chen recognized his face, a surge of murderous intent arose in his heart.

There was a time when Croc No. was a thorn in Ye Chen's side, a constant irritant he wanted to remove at any opportunity!

However, Croc No. belonged to the Messiah Organization, and since the Messiah Organization was plotting for the unusual opportunities within the cave, these people were all lying low.

Ye Chen had not expected to encounter Croc No. inside the cave, which caused his murderous intent to boil over!

Since he had run into him, he might as well kill him!

Ye Chen had killed Croc No.'s son, and Croc No. had once used Liu Shihua to threaten Ye Chen. Their hatred was deep and irreconcilable!

"So it's these Westerners who are hunting the soul-devouring bugs!" Fang Ruolan said in a focused tone. "Moreover, there's a Drop Master among these people!"

Fang Ruolan was puzzled. Even though the soul-devouring bugs were terrifying and rare, they were useless to ordinary Martial Artists!

Why would these Westerners exert so much effort to capture the soul-devouring bugs?

However, the presence of a Drop Master among these people made Fang Ruolan realize the reason.

"Oh?" Ye Chen was surprised.

Both the Drop Master and the Gu Master were very mysterious characters, one practicing dropping heads and the other controlling Gu insects, but they both followed similar odd paths involving strange bugs and Gu items.

"This group of Westerners actually consists of more than ten people, and their aura is all strong, almost all possessing the cultivation of peak Grandmasters!" Fang Ruolan said with a tense expression, feeling threatened by this group.

"It's natural for these people to be powerful. The cave has been open for twenty days now, and those who have survived until now are the elite among the Grandmasters!" Ye Chen said. "However, these Westerners, fearing the heroes of the East might attack them, are all grouped together hunting monsters and searching for treasures, which makes things a bit troublesome!"

This was a group of more than ten peak Grandmasters, all robust in vitality. Among them were a few who were not weaker than Qingyun-ranked individuals, and Croc No. seemed to have obtained some precious treasure. It was a long sword which, when swung fiercely, could slash out sword energies powerful enough that even the soul-devouring bugs dared not confront it directly.

"Let's keep our movements hidden and quietly follow these Westerners. Once they wear down the two soul-devouring bugs, I'll suddenly make a move to capture both!" Ye Chen said.

The two soul-devouring bugs were ferociously fighting back against the dozen or so Western powerhouses. If Ye Chen were to rashly rush forward, it wouldn't only scare away the bugs but also provoke a group attack from Croc No. and his people!

Therefore, rather than acting rashly, Ye Chen preferred to wait for the right moment to make his move and snatch the soul-devouring bugs!

"Hmm!" Fang Ruolan looked at Ye Chen with some excitement.

Soul-devouring bugs were extremely rare. Fang Ruolan had thought there was only one such bug in the cave, but unexpectedly, there were two!

If Ye Chen could capture both soul-devouring bugs, then if Fang Ruolan offered them to her Grandmaster, he would certainly agree to her request!

"Hiss! Hiss!"

Under the relentless onslaught of the Western champions, the soul-devouring bugs fought back valiantly, living up to their reputation of being creatures capable of devouring deities.

"These soul-devouring bugs are merely fighting like cornered beasts. They will soon be exhausted. Let's increase our attack output and thoroughly defeat these two bugs!" the Drop Master shouted loudly amid the crowd.

"Haha, needless to say, the Messiah himself has ordered us to aid you in hunting down this Immortal Devouring Insect, and we will certainly do our utmost to help you!" someone laughed loudly.

"Thank you, thank you!" the Gu Master said.

"This Immortal Devouring Insect is indeed fiercely incomparable, managing to endure for so long under our siege, this is truly unbelievable!"

"Indeed, a small bug as big as a palm, yet fiercer than a peak Grandmaster, this really is the first strange insect in the world!"

"Ying La, brother, having gained these two Immortal Devouring Insects, you will definitely see a surge in strength. Just don't forget to support us when the time comes!"

"Exactly, Ying La, once you rise high, don't ignore us!"

"Haha!"

These Western powerhouses all knew each other well and might even all belong to the Messiah Organization. They showed off their most powerful stance through jovial and violent outputs to aid the Gu Master Ying La in hunting the Immortal Devouring Insects.

"My friends, don't forget the promise you gave me, after capturing this Immortal Devouring Insect, let's go together and kill that Easterner!"

Right then, the Croc No., swinging its war blade, roared at the Western powerhouses nearby.

"Haha, Croc No., rest assured, since we have promised you, we will naturally help you kill that Easterner!" someone laughed.

"I heard that Easterner killed your son and even sunk your Croc No., with such a huge vendetta, how can we not help you avenge it?" another person spoke up.

"Thanks to everyone for taking action out of righteousness, I truly appreciate it, brothers!" Croc No. said.

All present were masters from the Messiah Organization; Croc No. was well-acquainted with them and wanted to ally with them to kill Ye Chen!

"Thank us for what? We all belong to the Messiah, and we are brothers who have gone through life and death together. How could we not help you with your troubles!"

"Croc No., you've now advanced to a peak Grandmaster and even obtained a significant blade. Isn't killing that Easterner as easy as slicing a watermelon?"

Croc No.'s roar was met with the Western powerhouses' responses; Croc No. clearly had good popularity within the Messiah Organization.

"That Ye Chen killed my son Tank and destroyed my lifetime's work. I must kill this Eastern youngster!"

Croc No. continuously swung his blade, furiously venting his anger at the two Immortal Devouring Insects, which drew bouts of laughter and taunting from the Western powerhouses.

Though the Immortal Devouring Insects resisted fiercely, their ferocity was fading. After all, being hunted down by over a dozen Western powerhouses was too much even for those ranked near the top of the Qingyun List to handle.

These two Immortal Devouring Insects only had the strength of those at the bottom of the Qingyun List, after being continuously attacked by these numerous powerful individuals, their small bodies' hidden stamina was nearly exhausted.

"Brothers, these two Immortal Devouring Insects are running out of strength. Let's all put in one last effort, then I will take advantage of their weakened state and capture them completely!" the Gu Master Ying La roared.

Ying La's words carried an excitement he could barely conceal. Owning these two Immortal Devouring Insects meant he almost had the qualifications to challenge a Land God. This miraculous fortune was about to be his, fueling his joy and continuous excitement.

"Boom!"

"Die, little bugs!"

"Gaga!"

A group of Westerners went all-out, each unleashing their most violent attacks to aid the Gu Master Ying La in hunting the Immortal Devouring Insects.
