Chapter 326

The members of the Elite Legion had obviously worked together frequently and were very familiar with each other. They surrounded Gu Ding, blocking off all of his escape routes, and launched an attack.

Tagore's combat effectiveness was not much stronger than the members of the Elite Legion when he did not transform. However, Biggie was going through a calamity. Once he transformed, his body would change drastically. When that happened, his attacks would easily affect Biggie's calamity range and cause a superimposed effect on Biggie's calamity.

Under such circumstances, Gu Ding was not at ease letting Biggie out of his sight. Therefore, it was not convenient for him to activate his territory to fight. He could only settle for the next best thing, using flames.

The green destructive flame spewed out again. This time, he did not hold back and swept all sixteen people around him into it.

The green color spread out, and for a moment, there was a lot of screaming. The God Bodies of the sixteen Elite Legion members quickly disintegrated under the flames. Nearly a third of their God Bodies were completely obliterated in less than half a minute. They urged the God Source in their bodies to recover quickly, but their God Source was also being consumed at a terrifying rate.

On Biggie's side, Gu Ding's destructive flame formed a circle outside the range of the calamity, making it difficult for the Elite Legion members to move forward. Six Elite Legion members tried to force their way through, but they were also infected by the flames. At first, only their arms disintegrated, but within a few seconds, the flames had spread to their shoulders. One of them thought he was smart and cut off his arm, but he found that the flames went straight through the severed arm and wrapped around the other parts of his body.

Everyone present was stunned when they saw this because Gu Ding had only waved his hand from the beginning to the end. On the other hand, Gu Ding had suppressed a group of Army elites with combat effectiveness comparable to a Lower Rank Deity.

Everyone also noticed that although the green flame was different from the black flame that Gu Ding had used before, it seemed to be an area-of-effect ability.

"This ability is completely out of this world. It destroyed the bodies of the Elite Legion members in less than half a minute. I'm afraid even a five-star elite bug beast wouldn't last more than three minutes. If Gu Ding used this ability to hunt bug beasts, the first place in the merit points would undoubtedly be his. " An Interstellar Pirate could not help but sigh. They had entered the desert with combat effectiveness above six-star. They were not weak, so naturally, they had good eyesight.

"Gu Ding, we've acted rashly this time. As long as you're willing to let them go, we'll leave this place immediately. The Elite Army won't bother any of your crew anymore." A man who looked slightly more mature stood out from the elite army. He looked to be about 25 or 26 years old and seemed to have some status in this team. "Besides, you won't get anything out of killing our people …"

The young man hesitated for a moment. 'You'll only be hunted down by the Federal Government's Headquarters' was on the tip of his tongue. This was because it was not a smart move to provoke Gu Ding at a time like this.

"How could there be no benefits?" Gu Ding narrowed his eyes slightly. He controlled the fire energy to slow down the rate of erosion. "Kill them, and their tokens will drop. All their merit points will belong to me."

"If you want merit points, I can have them transfer them to you." The young man hesitated for a moment but chose to back down. The other members glared at Gu Ding, obviously unhappy with his extortion.

Gu Ding weighed the pros and cons. The Federal Government's Headquarters was too powerful. If the news of him killing the elite army members got out, it would be hard to say if he would be able to smoothly enter the Cosmic Sea from the Great Border River. After all, the Federal Government had a Higher Deity guarding the Great Border River.

Moreover, if he did not want the news to get out, not only would he have to kill the twenty-two people who attacked him and Biggie, but he would also have to kill the remaining thirty-eight Army Elites. He would even have to kill the Interstellar Pirates and Interstellar Hunters here to be safe. However, Gu Ding was not sure if these people had some special means of communication to inform others of what happened here.

Just as Gu Ding was thinking about these problems, a bolt of lightning suddenly exploded from the clouds in the sky. A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm struck down vertically toward where Biggie was sitting.

Gu Ding immediately clenched his hand, and the green flames that wrapped around the twenty-two people automatically dissipated. He focused all his attention on Biggie, who was in the midst of going through his calamity. He did not plan to continue tangling with the Elite Army.

In reality, the Elite Army's cultivation level was that of a five-star Lower Deity. Killing a special type bug beast would only earn them five points. Gu Ding did a quick calculation. The six teams here combined would probably not even earn a tenth of his points. In fact, there was not much need to go after them.

After Gu Ding's flames dissipated, the other members of the Elite Army quickly left the place with the wounded. One reason was that they were afraid of provoking Gu Ding, the devil. Another was that once the bug tide broke out, this place would be the bug beasts' first destination. Staying here would be courting death.

The other Interstellar Pirates and Interstellar Hunters also chose to leave quickly. They were not too interested in watching Biggie's calamity. Moreover, there were no rare treasures here, so there was no need to stay any longer. Most importantly, they had learned about the hive from Gu Ding and the Elite Army. This place was too close to the hive, and it was indeed not safe.

Only Leon reminded Gu Ding before he left, "I say, lil bro Gu Ding, once the bug tide breaks out, Biggie won't be able to survive. You and the cat still have a chance to escape successfully …"

"We'll be fine, and Biggie will be fine too." Gu Ding obviously had no intention of leaving. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and waited for Biggie to complete his calamity.

Seeing that Gu Ding had made up his mind, Leon did not try to dissuade him anymore. With a flick of his sleeves, he rose into the air and quickly left the area.

At that moment, Biggie finally opened his eyes. He raised his sword in a seemingly casual manner, and a translucent sword gleam shot up into the sky along with the sword. When it collided with the bolt of lightning, both of them were instantly annihilated. Gu Ding also noticed that Biggie's sword had not been unsheathed. "After two days of fighting, Biggie seems to have become stronger again."

"The bug beasts in the hive have begun to wake up …" Neptune was talking about something else. "Although the first wave of the calamity attack wasn't very strong, the Bug Tribe is more sensitive to the power of thunder and lightning. The moment the shock wave reached there, the bug beasts reacted. "

"Neptune, let Lili and the others hide in the square first." Compared to himself, Gu Ding was more worried about Lilliath and the others. After all, he had the ability to kill groups of fire, and even elite bug beasts could be easily killed.

On the other side, Lilliath and the others who received Neptune's hint were a little speechless.

"Bug tide? What did Gu Ding and the others do? "Lilliath said angrily. She was having fun playing with the bugs. It turned out that although these bugs were physically strong, most of them had extremely weak spirit. They were dozens of times weaker than humans of the same cultivation level. This allowed Lilliath, whose spirit was comparable to a 2-star Lower Rank deity, to easily use her illusion on the 2-star bugs and make them kill each other.

"Let's go back to the square. If there really is a bug tide, staying here with our strength would be courting death." Dockett was more willing to listen to Gu Ding and Neptune's suggestion. "As you can see, 2-star bugs are already so difficult to deal with, let alone the stronger 3-star and 4-star ones. If there is a bug tide, there will be hundreds of thousands of bug beasts. There will also be a large number of 5-star Soldier Level, and even special and elite beasts. Even if there is only one, it will be difficult for us to deal with. "

"Yeah, Lili, let's go back to the square and wait for Gu Ding's news!" Elsa also felt that Gu Ding would not do something without a goal.

Robert, on the other hand, immediately made a move and slaughtered all the bug beasts in front of him. "Let's go back, don't waste any more time."

The four of them ran all the way back to the square.

On Gu Ding's side, the calamity had already struck the third time.

At this point, Biggie's long sword was finally unsheathed, and the sword beam briefly but brilliantly collided with the lightning again. Under the intense impact, another shockwave of energy spread out in all directions.

Neptune, on the other hand, was constantly paying attention to the changes in the hive. "These bug beasts have finally woken up …"

As he spoke, he projected an image of the hive.

In the hive, bug beasts slowly opened their eyes under the impact of the energy shock. Although they were still in a half-asleep state, it was obvious that they had regained consciousness. This did not bode well for Gu Ding and the others.

Sure enough, after the fourth wave of the calamity shock, the bug beasts were stimulated again and became completely alert. There were even a few that went straight out of the cave and quickly gathered in Gu Ding's direction.

After that, the fifth and sixth waves of the calamity arrived, but Biggie still passed through them easily. However, at this moment, the hive was in a mess. All the bug beasts had woken up, and some had even entered a strange state of excitement. After gathering, they flew toward Gu Ding's location. There were more than six hundred and thirty thousand bug beasts in total.

Seeing the bug beasts coming out of the cave, Gu Ding frowned slightly. "How long will it take for them to get here?"

"Based on their current low flying speed, they will arrive in twelve minutes at most." Neptune gave a more accurate answer.

"Twelve minutes …" Gu Ding knew that it was impossible for Biggie to complete the calamity in that time. He still had three more waves of the calamity.

"Barroom!" The seventh wave of the calamity finally arrived.

Biggie looked up into the sky and pressed one hand on the 2-star God Item. Once again, he pulled out his sword, stomped his feet on the ground, and swung his sword!

"Boom!" The translucent sword energy collided with the lightning again, creating a strong wave of energy. It was like a stone thrown into a small river, creating ripples that stacked on top of each other.

Sensing the energy wave, the huge number of bug beasts increased their flying speed.

On Gu Ding's side, the first batch of bug beasts flew out of the cave. This was the vanguard of the bug beasts. There were twenty-three of them, and all of them were 5-star elite bug beasts …
