Warning! The evil god's minions are invading the eerie dungeon.

Rumble rumble rumble—!

Along with the gradually clearing roar, wisps of air spread outward from the atrium.

Giant insects slowly rose from outside the fence.

At first glance, these insects don't seem much smaller than an armed helicopter.

They are roughly oval in shape, with an abdominal sac, and their bodies are covered with a dark red shell. Their heads have two huge, black, hemispherical compound eyes, and their six legs are as thick and slender as cement blocks, with barbs that are suitable for grasping and climbing.

If you don't want to hear this tedious description, Qi Xie has a more convenient and intuitive way of describing it.

A cockroach the size of two or three of your bedrooms.

"I*?!"

Qi Xie and Chen Mu simultaneously shouted out the quintessence of Chinese culture in perfect pronunciation.

At this moment, the giant cockroach's dark red shell had opened, revealing several pairs of wings that left afterimages as they flapped.

The enormous wind noise, like that of a helicopter, is the work of these wings.

"It can be specialized to this extent?!"

Chen Mu couldn't help but swear again:

"Wow, it can really transform into anything! How about a Power Rangers character?!"

Click—!

The carapace on the abdomen of the gigantic cockroach suddenly opened outwards, revealing a huge space inside.

Inside was a group of...

Well, how should I put it?

The humanoid muscular cockroach is over two meters tall on average. It is covered in a body of sharp, powerful black scales and has three pairs of bulging muscular arms on its sides. The ends of the arms have evolved into armored longswords. The whole thing is full of violence and bloodlust.

Clearly, these are the truly elite, single-unit combat-oriented specialized species, equivalent to soldier ants, while the gigantic cockroach is essentially a transport helicopter…

Qi Xie glanced at the neatly arranged black scale armor and gave Chen Mu a thumbs up:

"The Armor Heroes have come to see you, go give them a hug."

Chen Mu: ...

But before Chen Mu could utter any more curses, Qi Xie had already made his move.

He simply spread his hands apart, grasped the stainless steel railing in front of him, and gently squeezed it flat with a slight force, then tore off a section with a sharp twist.

He then turned halfway around, gripped the long stainless steel tube with its two ends flattened with one hand, took a step forward, swung his arm, and threw the tube out in a standard javelin-throwing motion.

when--!

The long tube blurred into a blur, piercing the head of a giant cockroach and disappearing halfway into it.

The insect, which was equivalent to a helicopter, let out a piercing scream, then shook uncontrollably twice before swirling and crashing down.

The black-armored cockroach soldiers still inside its abdominal sac didn't have time to jump out and crashed along with it.

Qi Xie heard a strange roar from the Black Armored Cockroach soldier who had crashed before he could escape.

As he shot down the giant cockroach, the other Black Armored Cockroach soldiers, seeing their comrade crash, quickly jumped from the giant cockroach's abdominal sac to the fifth floor and charged towards the two.

"At the very least, it's rated R..."

Qi Xie's black contact lenses flashed red as he observed the approaching threat:

"There are also elites of the Dangerous level mixed in, but they don't have much energy and can only be considered incomplete Dangerous level monsters. However, their numbers can still make up two or three Dangerous level monsters..."

Faced with such a large and high-quality enemy, even Qi Xie had to take it seriously, after all, this was quite a feast.

"If you're about to die, hold your breath and disappear underground. I'll come back and get you."

Qi Xie watched as the black-armored cockroach soldiers rushed towards him, excitedly licked his lips, and revealed a somewhat neurotic smile. Without even glancing at Chen Mu, he left a sentence and strode forward.

Upon seeing this, the black-armored cockroach soldier at the forefront immediately raised its two blade-shaped forelimbs and slashed diagonally down at Qi Xie's shoulders.

These black-armored cockroach soldiers were all enormous, with the shortest being about 2.5 meters tall. At this moment, they raised their blade-shaped forelimbs that gleamed with a cold light, casting shadows that seemed to blot out the sky and were extremely oppressive.

But when Qi Xie rushed in front of him, this sense of oppression vanished without a trace, just like a tiger king strolling on the road hearing the horn of a hundred-ton king.

Qi Xie lowered his body slightly, then in the next instant, he kicked off the ground and leaped high into the air, his coat trailing behind him like the wings of a soaring eagle.

boom--!

As he dodged the two forward-leaning forelimbs of the Black Armored Cockroach Soldier, he bent his knees, his forward momentum undiminished, and brought his knees together to smash into the face of the Black Armored Cockroach Soldier at the front.

The black-armored cockroach soldier seemed to have been blasted right in the face by a giant cannon. Its head snapped back violently, and the scales on its face and its upper jaw, which was five times the size of a pair of pincers, shattered and caved in.

Bang bang bang—!!

The black-armored cockroach soldier, instantly killed, knocked down several of its comrades behind it, disrupting the charging formation.

Qi Xie had already turned around and swung his hand at another black-armored cockroach soldier beside him.

His movements combine power and grace, like the "sleeve flick" motion in Tai Chi or dance, or perhaps like simply wanting to swing his arm and slap the other person.

But streaks of black light shot out from his sleeves, solidified into a sword in his hand, and became the most lethal part of the 'dance,' cleaving the black-armored cockroach soldier in two.

The figure, moving with ghostly speed, continued its advance through the swarm of black-armored cockroach soldiers.

Clang! Clang! Clang—!

The longsword was used as a heavy weapon, and in high-speed strikes, it produced distorted arcs of light, as well as sounds and sparks like metal being struck.

Each of his sword strikes could cut through scales and solid muscles, smashing straight into bones, and the scales and bones of the Black Armored Cockroach Soldiers were practically made of steel.

No more than twenty people in this entire instance would dare to engage in direct melee combat with these black-armored cockroach soldiers.

Qi Xie charged straight into the encirclement of these heavy beetles, but the scene looked more like he was the one surrounding them.

On the other side, Chen Mu was using his strange enhanced abilities and the potion to flee in panic, leading several menacing black-armored cockroach soldiers in a marathon.

He did manage to kill the Black Armored Roach Soldiers, but a steady stream of them kept joining the ranks, joining faster than he could kill them.

"Damn it! Just because I'm an easy target doesn't mean they'll pick on me!?"

Chen Mu let out a sorrowful and indignant protest.

But soon he realized something was wrong.

Even with a continuous stream of Black Armored Cockroach soldiers joining the battle on Chen Mu's side, the pressure on Qi Xie's side did not lessen in the slightest.

Those giant cockroach transport planes are still continuously delivering troops! The cockroach soldiers in front of us, already in a frightening number, are just the vanguard!

They need to find a way to suppress these black-armored cockroach soldiers and take out those giant cockroaches first!

The bad thing is...

He had almost used up all the explosives he carried, and "Random Guy" didn't seem to have any large-area AOE skills to suppress so many Black Armored Roach Soldiers.

What should we do now?
