Clyde explored the underground world while lurking in the shadows. Following the insect n monsters, he attempted to find their lair. Marquis Charles who had occupied the Needham Plains was unaware of the over 400,000 humanoid monsters forcibly occupying the world under his feet. Because all the adventurers and rcenaries he had hired had never returned, the human army above the ground was unclear about occupied the underground world.

Clyde quickly penetrated deep into the insect n monster’s territory. The sll of blood pervaded this place since the attack thods of the insectn monsters were a lot bloodier compared to their opponents, the underground ratn. If Clyde had to choose a side to cooperate with, then he would have chosen the underground ratn without the slightest hesitation. At least, the underground ratn looked a lot more palatable and didn’t cause severe discomfort.

In the area controlled by the insectn monsters, Clyde saw many human rcenaries and adventurers trapped here. Even from far away, he could hear their screams. By the ti he arrived with the insectn monsters, the battle had almost finished. The human rcenary group was rather low-leveled, and their equipnt was not particularly good. Although they fought bravely, they were still unable to resist the swarming attacks of the insectn monsters. These insect-type monsters must have learned from so ghost and undead-type monsters. In their horde, their attack patterns closely mirrored their peers’ battle tactics.

Generally, a rcenary group would have over ten people. Comparatively speaking, adventurers didn’t have any minimum number of party mbers, even two people could form a team, and there were several solo teams. This rcenary group in dire straits had over a hundred people. However, the humanoid monsters that surrounded them had over ten tis their numbers. Thousands of insectn monsters blocked and besieged this rcenary group in the passage. If an ordinary adventurer team had been in their places, because of the differences in numbers, they might not have persisted this long and already been wiped out.

Low-leveled rcenary groups and adventurer teams couldn’t afford magicians and other expensive magic professions. They also couldn’t afford knights, this kind of high-level martial profession. Therefore, they could only passively resist these insectn monsters. The insectn monsters also couldn’t use magic, but they had inherited a common skill of insect race monsters and could spray venom from far away. That green venom was incomparably poisonous for humans. Even the armor the rcenaries wore was directly dissolved because of the venom’s terrifying corrosive nature. Unless they were a human with a high-level martial profession that cultivated body-protecting battle qi or a mage using a magic shield, basically no one would resist this venom.

With the dark underground environnt, the range of the rcenary group’s archers was greatly limited. The accuracy of their arrows was greatly affected by the visual conditions. Many were unable to pierce through the thick carapaces of the insectn monsters. Looking at the scene, Clyde saw several places where their line of defense had been broken. Many rcenaries didn’t actually die to the insectn monsters but rather their deadly venom comparable to concentrated sulphuric acid. The simple armor of these rcenaries was unable to resist even a small splash of venom.

The insectn monsters sward to finish the siege against the rcenary group. The scouts of this rcenary group had long been killed by the insectn monsters before the siege. The remaining rcenaries had inferior agility compared to scouts, so they could not break out of this encirclent. Even if Clyde had wanted to save them, it was too late. Most had already been killed. There were dismbered corpses everywhere. So insectn monsters were already biting and chewing the corpses. The strange gnawing sounds resounding in this dark underground passage could easily make other people very uncomfortable.

Now, only a few female archers of that low-leveled rcenary group were left, but the insectn monsters subdued them before they had the ti to commit suicide. As the few females in the rcenary group, they had received special preferential treatnt by their fellow rcenaries. As a result, they had survived until the end. However, insectn monsters had intelligence. Clyde suspected that those insectn monsters had intentionally spared them for other wicked purposes. Otherwise, it was hard to explain why their sprayed venom hadn’t hit them. The male archers standing beside them were not so lucky and had already lted into unrecognizable corpses.

The insectn monsters surrounded those few female archers. Although their close combat skill was not bad, the brute force of these insectn monsters exceeded male human warriors. In addition, their carapaces were very thick. When the female archers drew their daggers to fight, before they even had ti to swing their weapons, the insectn monsters lashed out using the cockroach antennae on their heads like whips.

The instant their daggers fell, the insectn monsters charged and pressed the female archers to the ground. Afterward, the insectn monsters tore their leather armor to shreds, revealing their fair skin. In a short mont, they were entirely stripped naked and turned into white lambs. Along with their leather armor, even their undergarnts were torn into shreds. The white lambs scread in fear. Because their skin had been exposed, they felt unprecedented fear, thinking these insectn monsters would directly chew them alive. Stripping them was just a ans to make things convenient to eat later.

However, the wicked aims of these insectn monsters were not to eat them. With their usual style and ans, they wouldn’t deliberately strip their prey naked. It was fine to eat after directly killing them. The insectn monsters gently strangled their preys’ fragile necks, and those few white lambs lost consciousness. Then, the insectn monsters carried those white lambs on their shoulders like hunters returning with prey to take them away.

The entire hunting process was quick. After strangling their prey until they fainted, the insectn monsters dragged them away. Looking at their proficient hunting thods, they had definitely done this many tis. The caught white lambs didn’t even have the chance to commit suicide. Compared to insectn monsters, underground ratn were a lot more decent. Generally, underground ratn didn’t do anything besides looting goods.

When Clyde saw this scene, he had originally planned to make a move, but he laid down his hands after so hesitation. These insectn monsters were too proficient and seed to have done this many tis. Therefore, he temporarily changed his plans and turned to follow those insectn monsters carrying the white lambs. He wanted to see what these insectn monsters would do.

Insectn’s reproduction thods differed from those of Human Race. Although underground ratn possessed cri tools similar to the Human Race, they were a group of dedicated bandits. They only robbed the things of the Human Race; they didn’t have any interest in human won. Even if the other party looked very beautiful, they were all the sa in the eyes of the underground ratn. Only worldly possessions stirred their interests. Their ideal cri tools were wasted in regards to any captives.

Insectn monsters were different. They basically lacked a tool of cri. It was simply a waste of resources for them to take these won. Although those few female rcenaries couldn’t be considered beauties, they were still at least average, if not better due to their fitness. It would be a pity if they were taken away and killed by these insectn monsters. Thus, Clyde continued to follow those insectn monsters while lurking in the shadows.

The deeper Clyde went into the territory of the insectn monsters, the stronger the discomfort he felt. There were bloody taboo scenes everywhere that challenged his psychological endurance limits. All along the way, many corpses and skeletons greeted his path. If average adventurers and rcenaries had been in his place, they would have already retreated in sore straits, unable to bear the impact of these scenes.

Although Clyde was an Evil God, a Great Old One, he had been a human before crossing to this world. He had retained the morales of humans. In the battlefields he had seen before, although there had been horrible fields littered with corpses, he had not seen grotesquely mutilated corpses. Here was simply too cruel. (Editor note: This is what drives him over the edge?!?) Clyde could only do his best to focus on those female prisoners carried by the insectn monsters. At least, their white figures were much easier on the eyes.

After following these insectn monsters for a while, Clyde felt that the matter was not as simple as he had imagined. The overall layout of the passages was orderly. The further down the path, the more refined the underground structures were. Even before reaching their destination, Clyde noticed that the insectn monsters’ exquisite underground constructions had already surpassed those of the Human Race of Xingsi Continent. The technological level represented here could be compared with that of Gno Race and Dwarf Race, these two specialist races.

This was quite abnormal. Although the insectn monsters were humanoid and had a certain level of intelligence, due to their backgrounds as insect-type monsters, the upper limit of their intelligence was fixed and not very high. Their intelligence was comparable to their ancient opponents, the underground ratn who had fought against them for supremacy of the underground world below the Needham Plains for several hundred years. According to common sense, it was impossible for them to build such superb underground architectural complexes. The more reasonable explanation was that an existence with higher intelligence had guided them.

Clyde subconsciously used his dark-detection magic to identify powerful, dark-attributed monsters in the area. This detection magic didn’t take long to make a major discovery. According to the magical reaction, three extrely powerful dark existences stood at the end of the passage.One was the leader of the insectn monsters with an energy signature matching those insectn monsters he had seen previously. Only the amount of energy here far exceeded any insectn he had seen.

However, the power levels of the other two existences were above the insectn monster leader. Their attributes were also completely different from insectn monsters. Clyde suspected that these two existences had allowed these insectn monsters to build such exquisite construction works. However, these two existences didn’t pose any threat to Clyde. Although their energy reaction was stronger than that of an Ancient Demon King, it had not reached the level that could give Clyde misgivings. Thinking this, Clyde relaxed and calmly followed those insectn monsters to observe the underground city of the insectn monsters.
