Chu Chen made a decision in his heart, and without hesitation, after sprinkling the Deodorizing Powder, he and the two beasts carefully moved forward.

Soon they arrived near the cave, Chu Chen stared at the cave, his heart racing, his eyes filled with vigilance.

At this moment, Lei Yao suddenly stopped, slightly raised its head, looked around the rocky walls, and let out a low whimper.

When Chu Chen heard the sound, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly looked up and found the rock walls were covered with dense beetles, numbering around a thousand.

At this time, these beetles also noticed Chu Chen. They stared intently at him and the two beasts, eyes filled with desire.

Seeing this, Chu Chen dared not linger and hurriedly called the two beasts to retreat.

For the food delivered to their doorsteps, those beetles naturally wouldn't let them leave easily.

Thousands of beetles flapped their wings and flew towards them.

In the blink of an eye, they blocked their retreat.

Seeing this, Chu Chen looked extremely distressed. Now the canyon walls on both sides were blocked by beetles. Facing such a terrifying number of beetles, trying to force their way through seemed unreal.

The only chance of survival now was the cave beside them.

As for what was in the cave, whether it was dangerous, none of this was within his scope of consideration.

Chu Chen gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Charge in."

The two beasts, hearing this, did not hesitate and dashed straight into the cave.

The cave was very spacious, with a height of ten zhang, surrounded by milky-white waterfall-shaped stalactites, appearing quite spectacular.

However, Chu Chen was in no mood to admire this natural scenery, as that group of beetles had already caught up.

Chu Chen took out several Fluorescent Stones from his Space Belt and, with a burst of force from his arm, threw them into the depths of the cave.

These Fluorescent Stones were purchased by Chu Chen recently in Celestial Star City, bought with a mindset of being prepared for anything. Unexpectedly, they came in handy now.

The Fluorescent Stones illuminated the depths of the cave, revealing it to be quite deep, though no Star Beasts were found within.

The two beasts kept running, under Chu Chen's command they continued to charge forward.

As one Fluorescent Stone after another was thrown out, after a few minutes the cave suddenly became narrow, and forks appeared ahead.

Without any hesitation, Chu Chen raised his hand and pointed to the narrowest fork, saying, "Over there."

After entering the fork, the space became narrow again.

After running for a few more minutes, another fork appeared.

This repeated several times, with the fork becoming extremely narrow, barely accommodating two beasts side by side, with a height of no more than two zhang.

Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly halted the two beasts, thinking continuing inside might lead to even narrower spaces, and by then the two beasts would have no room to fight back. Besides, the terrain here was perfect for a counterattack.

The narrow space could only accommodate three or four beetles at a time, and with the strength of the two beasts, dealing with them was a piece of cake.

A few breaths later, a rustling crawling sound was heard as the beetle swarm caught up.

Only now did Chu Chen clearly see what the beetles looked like. Goodness, these weren't beetles at all, but a swarm of cockroaches.

They looked quite similar to cockroaches, but they were magnified dozens of times, standing about one meter tall and reaching two meters in length, with a layer of earth-colored Insect Armor growing on their backs, which is why Chu Chen mistook them for some type of beetle.

Chu Chen, driven by curiosity, began to check their information.

Star Beast Name: Earth Rock Cockroach

Looking at the information on the Earth Rock Cockroaches, Chu Chen's mouth slightly curved upwards. The opponent was simply a bunch of Battle Five Trash, and their large numbers were perfect for farming Slaughter Value, allowing the two beasts to thoroughly master their strength.

However, what tempted Chu Chen the most was the Earth Rock Cockroach's talent, Endless Life, which seemed tailor-made for Nirvana.

If this talent were bestowed upon Nirvana, its Limb Regeneration frequency would increase, and its combat power ceiling would also be raised.

This swarm of Earth Rock Cockroaches was practically delivering benefits, instantly dispelling Chu Chen's troubles.

By now, the two beasts had already begun fighting the Earth Rock Cockroaches.

The Earth Rock Cockroaches lost their numerical advantage and were no match for the two beasts at all.

Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately backed off, watching the Slaughter Value in the Slaughter Atlas steadily rise, which pleased him greatly, like having a bank account continuously receiving funds.

After a comprehensive upgrade in strength, the combat power of the two beasts was off the charts. As they fought, they even began to push outward.

The narrow passage was soon filled with Earth Rock Cockroach corpses.

Lei Yao and Nirvana piled these bodies in front of themselves, blocking all the Earth Rock Cockroach attacks with them.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen burst into laughter. The two beasts' combat experience was abundant. This kind of fight doesn't even need his direct command. All he needed to do was the logistics work.

As for the logistics work, it was pretty simple.

Chu Chen took out a few Elixir Pills from his Space Belt and, during the intervals when the two beasts blocked attacks with Earth Rock Cockroach corpses, shouted, "Take the pills."

Watching the two beasts fighting valiantly, he felt embarrassed to be too relaxed and began to collect spoils of war.

Materials usable from insect Star Beasts were few and held little value. With limited space, he only collected the Star Cores.

As time passed, the number of Earth Rock Cockroaches had decreased by 30%, but these creatures showed no intention of retreating, their desire to attack growing increasingly intense.

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but frown. Did these creatures have no brains? They didn't look like it, either.

Then, at his moment of confusion, he occasionally noticed a few Earth Rock Cockroaches gnawing on their companions' corpses.

Their expressions showed they were thoroughly enjoying the meal, without the slightest psychological burden.

Only then did Chu Chen understand why this group acted so abnormally. They were just too hungry.

Understanding the reason, Chu Chen's mind suddenly became active.

He quietly approached the two beasts, then whispered, "Throw the Earth Rock Cockroach corpses towards the insect swarm."

The two beasts were extremely puzzled upon hearing this, but their actions did not stop for a second.

Lei Yao picked up an Earth Rock Cockroach corpse and vigorously threw it towards the insect swarm.

The insect swarm, seeing the hurled corpse, immediately pounced on it, biting into it hungrily.

Now the two beasts felt a sudden reduction in pressure, and casually killed a nearby Earth Rock Cockroach, tossing its corpse into the swarm.

At this moment, the swarm was busy scrambling for food and no longer attacked them.

This also allowed the two beasts to have a brief rest.
