First Round Match had only a thousand participants, while Second Round saw over two thousand. By the time Third Round arrived, the battlefield was filled with ten thousand contenders!
It was evident that the great being overseeing this event wanted to witness the performance of the participants in such large-scale battles, rather than merely assessing individual strength.
This was quite understandable, as all flora and fauna in this world were undergoing Evolution to become stronger. Ultimately, only a select few could ascend to the pinnacle of power; the vast majority still relied on large-scale military operations. The Disaster Beasts would only be used as a last resort and not summoned lightly unless in dire circumstances.
As for why they didn’t deploy Disaster Beasts, unleashing flames or bombarding the area with disaster-level abilities for a thorough cleansing, the reason was simple: the Disaster Beasts in this world were ultimately limited.
Most importantly, only one-tenth of the total Disaster Beasts could be deployed normally; the rest were either flawed or needed to remain dormant for most of the time!
Thus, the True God Cult could use this to intimidate the Harrison Empire, ensuring that at least two Disaster Beasts remained stationed in their capital, leaving them too fearful to leave!
Setting that aside, let’s return to the battlefield of Third Round.
As the saying goes, when numbers exceed ten thousand, they blanket the land.
What if ten thousand monsters—or even a hundred thousand—appeared on the battlefield?
At this moment, it had transformed into a brutal war zone, with hundreds of thousands from the Monster Army clashing against ten thousand Insect Beasts in a massive military confrontation.
This was not like the earlier encounter where Xiar single-handedly crushed tens of thousands of the Barbarian Legion. No, this was a Monster Legion that was several times more ferocious and powerful. The formidable monsters within could easily slaughter all of the Barbarians Chieftains!
However, the Insect Beasts were by no means weak. In fact, these Insect Beasts had become embodiments of individual participants, utilizing their superior physical prowess to engage in close combat with various monsters.
Especially since both sides possessed abilities like Sonic Wave, flames, and Venom, which allowed for ranged area attacks that made the battlefield dazzling. Explosions and flashes lit up like fireworks amidst this bloody war.
On such a vast battlefield, even top-tier Insect Beasts felt insignificant. Once targeted by a swarm of monsters, there would be no escape from their fate.
Thus, it was necessary for the participants to naturally form teams, prioritizing survival through the initial brutal battles before considering anything else.
This time, Vaxinger did not refuse Yura's invitation. The two officially formed an alliance, joined by Tracy and two other formidable Insect Beasts, creating a powerful combat team that ruthlessly massacred various monsters on the battlefield.
The vast majority of monsters were weaker than the First Level Insect Beasts, with only a few being comparable to Second-Grade Insect Beasts. However, these Insect Beasts were controlled by humans, perfectly showcasing their formidable physical prowess rather than being mindless creatures that simply charged forward.
Human teams formed on this battlefield, creating temporary combat alliances to fight against the Monster Army, which vastly outnumbered them.
"According to the official explanation on the Magic Web, there are various resources on the battlefield. As long as we collect enough resources, we can enhance the strength of our Insect Beasts. I wonder where we can gather these resources?" a brown dragon-like insect communicated with the others using the Magic Web.
"There is indeed such information. It seems we need to collect something called Essence of Flesh and Crystal Bugs. We’ll have to find them ourselves; they should be somewhere on this battlefield," Tracy replied.
Currently, their communication relied solely on the Magic Web, similar to making phone calls on Aqua Star, costing 1 Source Point per minute, so they naturally preferred not to use it unless necessary.
"I used my Secondary privileges to purchase some information related to Insect Beasts. After studying it, I discovered that the level of Insect Beasts is not fixed; they can continuously evolve through certain special items. They can evolve from First Level to Secondary and even to Third Rank. The most important item is the Crystal Bug, which is produced in a mysterious forbidden area within Twilight Forest. It should be scattered across this battlefield, waiting for us to collect," Yura explained.
"The Crystal Bug resembles a colorful gemstone and has an irregular polyhedral shape with a faint glow. If we look closely, we should be able to find it. Once we find a Crystal Bug and consume it, along with a large amount of Essence of Flesh, we might be able to directly upgrade our Insect Beasts!"
Yura shared nearly all of her information without reservation, immediately earning the favor of the others.
It was evident that among ten thousand people there would be various talents; information would surely circulate on the Forum later. It was better to disclose it now and slightly enhance team cohesion.
"Great! Our primary goal now shifts from hunting monsters to searching for Crystal Bugs as much as possible. After all, this event lasts for three days; once someone uses this opportunity to advance to Third Rank, others will definitely struggle to compete!" said the last newcomer in their group, a golden Scarab.
Except for Tracy, all five were top performers from the previous two rounds of competition. Now that they had joined forces, they could gather enough resources to enhance their Insect Beasts' strength!
Strength was fundamental; as long as they had sufficient power, they could dominate the battlefield instead of being forced into alliances for survival!
After slaying dozens of monsters, Tracy spotted a glowing crystal on the ground and swooped down to pick it up with her mouth.
"Based on the information I received, it should be fine for Tracy as the first discoverer to consume the first Crystal Bug, right?" Yura spoke in the team information channel.
Others nodded in agreement, reaching a consensus that if no one had consumed it yet, whoever found the Crystal Bug first would be entitled to use it. Once consumed, the second Crystal Bug must be given to someone who hadn't used one; otherwise, they would face a joint attack from the other four!
Gulp!
The fist-sized octagonal crystal was swallowed whole by Tracy, and its originally green surface instantly revealed a layer of red patterns.
Screech!
She suddenly let out a piercing scream and lunged at a struggling monster corpse on the ground, her sharp pincers tearing it apart as she devoured it voraciously!
"Tracy, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Yura shot down a Moth Monster that tried to ambush her and flew over to ask what had happened.
However, it seemed that after consuming the Crystal Bug, she had instantly lost her human rationality, driven solely by the instincts of an Insect Beast to hunt!
Moments later, the green Cricket covered in red patterns finally recovered from its frenzied feeding. After a brief silence, it responded with a trembling voice:
"After consuming that Crystal Bug, the Insect Beast suddenly became uncontrollable. I could sense its overwhelming hunger, so intense that it almost wanted to attack you all. Thankfully, I managed to control it! Only after devouring the monster's flesh did this insatiable hunger begin to subside. Moreover, the flesh transformed directly into energy within my body to support its drastic changes. Although I haven't leveled up yet, my strength and speed have already increased by thirty percent!"
"That's disgusting! Eating raw flesh like that!!!"
