The Holy Light Elf glared fiercely at Chu Chen, then reluctantly flew towards the location of the Wind and Fire Grass while holding its small round shield.

Seeing this, Chu Chen shook his head helplessly. He had only made a suggestion; the decision was not his to make.

However, with important matters at hand, he didn't dwell on it and quickly proceeded with caution alongside Zhang Yuyan.

Suddenly, a sharp screech echoed from the woods, followed by a series of buzzing sounds.

Chu Chen and Zhang Yuyan exchanged a glance, immediately jumped onto the backs of their Guardian Beasts, and charged towards the Wind and Fire Grass.

A few moments later, a figure zoomed overhead, followed closely by a swarm of dark insects.

Seeing this, the two urged their Guardian Beasts to advance at full speed.

The Wind Burst Mad Lion moved with incredible speed, leaving Nirvana far behind with just a few leaps.

Zhang Yuyan hesitated for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "Get up! Nirvana is too slow."

Chu Chen was taken aback by the sudden request.

"This doesn't seem appropriate," Chu Chen awkwardly declined.

Zhang Yuyan blushed and said, "Get up quickly! The more time we waste, the greater the danger for the Holy Light Elf."

Hearing this, Chu Chen wasted no time. He quickly absorbed Nirvana into his Soul Sea and jumped onto the back of the Wind Burst Mad Lion.

The back of the Wind Burst Mad Lion was broad, so the two were quite distant from each other, with no physical contact.

Chu Chen stroked the smooth fur of the Wind Burst Mad Lion, admiring its diet.

The Wind Burst Mad Lion, following its master's command, immediately accelerated to its utmost speed.

About a minute later, the Wind Burst Mad Lion suddenly came to a halt. Sitting at the back, Chu Chen was caught off guard by the abrupt stop, and combined with the slickness of its fur, he slid forward.

The next moment, he sensed a refreshing fragrance at his nose and felt something incredibly soft in his hands, instinctively grabbing it.

A high-pitched scream followed.

He quickly looked up to find Zhang Yuyan tightly in his embrace, his hand seemingly in an inappropriate place.

The scream came from Zhang Yuyan, and before Chu Chen could let go, she suddenly exerted force with her arms, flipping him to the ground.

Chu Chen landed solidly on the ground, letting out a wail while rubbing his backside.

At this moment, Zhang Yuyan, blushing and hugging her shoulders, glared at Chu Chen in anger.

Before Chu Chen could explain, a sharp howl shattered the awkward silence.

Only then did the two regain their senses.

Chu Chen immediately summoned Lei Yao and Nirvana, surveying the surroundings.

Ten meters away stood a massive Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetle, surrounded by over thirty mature Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetles.

Chu Chen dared not be careless and promptly examined the information of these Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetles.

The giant Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetle was the Insect King of the entire swarm, its Realm reaching the Sixth Rank Commander Level, with a height of three meters and a length of an astonishing six meters, making it a behemoth among the swarm.

The remaining thirty or so Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetles were at the Peak of War General Level.

At this moment, Chu Chen, putting aside any explanations, asked in a low voice, "Yu Yan, where is the Wind and Fire Grass?"

Zhang Yuyan hesitated for a moment before replying grumpily, "It's under that giant tree behind them."

Chu Chen frowned at her words, realizing the situation was worse than he had imagined. He had initially thought of seizing the opportunity to snatch the Wind and Fire Grass, but it seemed he would now have to fight for it.

Time was of the essence, and Chu Chen quickly devised a battle plan.

"Lei Yao, unleash your full power and make sure to kill this Insect King. Nirvana, you hold off the Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetles to create an opening for the Wind Burst Mad Lion to attack."

As Chu Chen's words ended, Lei Yao let out an excited roar, using three trump cards simultaneously.

In an instant, Lei Yao's aura surged to the Seventh Rank Commander Level.

The Insect King, witnessing this, showed disbelief in its gaze and screeched as more than thirty Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetles rushed towards Lei Yao.

The Insect King's strategy was simple: use the swarm to exhaust Lei Yao, knowing full well that boosting power in such a short time could not be sustained for long.

At this moment, Nirvana approached with its short legs, quickly covered by a silver layer over its yellowish Insect Armor, followed by a covering of Rock Armor.

Seeing this, the swarm spewed scorching flames at Nirvana.

Nirvana dared not take the attacks head-on, dodging swiftly to the right.

With so many attacks, it was impossible to avoid them all, with nearly ten strikes landing on its body.

The thick Rock Armor immediately showed several cracks.

Before the swarm could attack again, a loud lion's roar came from beside Nirvana.

A lion was gathering a giant fireball about ten feet in diameter.

The fireball, in hues of blue and red, contained a potent concentration of Wind and Fire elements.

This skill was the Wind Flame Bullet of the Wind Burst Mad Lion.

Under the control of the Wind Burst Mad Lion, the giant fireball plunged straight into the swarm.

With a loud explosion, the swarm was instantly engulfed in flames.

However, Chu Chen's expression showed no relaxation, knowing the defense of these Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetles was formidable, and such an attack was insufficient to annihilate them all.

At this moment, Lei Yao suddenly let out a low growl, charging at the Insect King with a powerful stride.

The Insect King, with its subordinates entangled, could only activate its Wind Armor and face Lei Yao head-on.

Lei Yao, noticing this, became more vigilant, acknowledging the opponent's caution in activating defense skills from the start.

Lei Yao became serious, with streaks of lightning entwining its body, intertwining and crossing, forming a set of Thunder Armor in a blink of an eye.

The flames dissipated, revealing the scattered swarm, with nearly ten Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetles instantly killed and the rest wounded.

Nirvana immediately charged towards the nearest Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetle.

Before the beetle could rise, huge pincers were already at its neck.

With the closure of the pincers, a Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetle was killed.

The Wind Burst Mad Lion was also not unharmed, as the Wind Flame Bullet consumed a significant amount of Star Power, depleting 40% with just one blow.

It took a deep breath before plunging into the swarm.

Lei Yao, now before the Insect King, raised its lightning-imbued fist and aimed for the opponent's head.

Shockingly, the Insect King neither dodged nor evaded, swinging its slender antennae like a steel whip at Lei Yao.

With a dull thud, Lei Yao's fist landed squarely on the Insect King's head.

Yet the blow was absorbed by the Wind Armor, leaving the opponent unmoved, as if the punch had not landed.

Such was the terrifying defense of the opponent.

The Insect King's attack also landed, with its slender antennae whipping Lei Yao's head like a steel whip.

With a loud "thud", even Lei Yao's massive build couldn't resist retreating a few steps, and a crack appeared on its Thunder Armor.
