The Holy Light Elf circled the trees from above, and half of the Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetles were knocked unconscious.

The flying ability of the Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetles was rather weak; they struggled to maintain a constant altitude and would occasionally bump into things.

The Holy Light Elf was also not at ease. Although it had flying abilities, it was not a flying-type Guardian Beast, and high-speed flight greatly exhausted its stamina.

Zhang Yuyan, seeing the situation, ordered it to return immediately.

Upon receiving the order, the Holy Light Elf hurriedly flapped its wings and flew towards the two without hesitation.

The swarm seemed to lose patience and stopped pursuing them after the Holy Light Elf left their territory, quietly returning to the forest.

The Holy Light Elf landed on Zhang Yuyan's shoulder, panting heavily.

Zhang Yuyan, feeling a bit distressed, rubbed its head, then retrieved some food and water from the Spatial Ring and passed them in front of the Holy Light Elf.

The Holy Light Elf rested for a moment, and its breathing finally steadied.

After drinking some water, it communicated with Zhang Yuyan for a while.

A moment later, Zhang Yuyan said solemnly, "The situation is worse than we thought."

Chu Chen asked quickly, "What's the situation inside?"

Zhang Yuyan replied gravely, "After being startled by us, the Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetles specifically arranged for a swarm to guard the Wind and Fire Grass."

Chu Chen, upon hearing this, showed a look of surprise; it seems a King Beast has emerged in this swarm.

To command such a large swarm, the King Beast's strength must be formidable, and with its leadership, the swarm's strength would increase considerably.

Thinking about this, Chu Chen's expression grew darker.

Zhang Yuyan, noticing this, said in a low voice, "Maybe we should give up. A single Wind and Fire Grass is not that valuable; it's not worth the risk."

Chu Chen considered for a moment before replying solemnly, "Your purpose in coming here is for training. Now the opportunity is right in front of us, and there's the Wind and Fire Grass as spoils of war. There's no reason to give up."

Zhang Yuyan, touched by this, looked seriously at Chu Chen and said, "Then let's fight."

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Actually, the situation isn't as severe as you think. I just noticed that this forest is quite large, and the Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetles are likely scattered widely."

"You mean we can defeat them one by one without facing the entire swarm?"

Chu Chen nodded with a smile, "Exactly. Earlier, many of those swarms even crashed into trees. Although their defense is strong, falling from a height of a hundred meters would likely cause them some minor injuries."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuyan couldn't help but show a hint of joy, and her previous seriousness dissipated.

"Let's go." Chu Chen led the two beasts into the forest first.

Zhang Yuyan quickly followed.

The two humans and four beasts walked directly into the forest, and as soon as they entered, they discovered a white larva gnawing on the tree bark.

This white larva was a young Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetle, about half a meter long, with the thickness of a baby's arm.

They hadn't entered the Growth Stage yet and were only at the Servant Level, with limited attack methods, capable only of Tearing Bite and spraying flames.

Chu Chen had no intention of letting it go, and Lei Yao raised a right fist to smash the larva into a paste.

After gaining some Slaughter Value, the two continued forward.

A few moments later, Chu Chen encountered several more larvae.

Without needing Chu Chen's command, Lei Yao and Nirvana immediately acted, exterminating them all.

Seeing the dead larvae, Chu Chen couldn't help but express curiosity as there were no adult insects nearby. Do these Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetles not protect their young?

After moving forward for a while, Chu Chen's guess was finally confirmed.

All along he saw only larvae, and there were a lot of them.

It seems the reproduction rate of Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetles is too fast. If all the larvae grow up, this forest might just be eaten bare.

As for expanding the territory, it's almost inconceivable given the horrifying numbers of the Insect Race living here. If they were to engage in battle, it's uncertain who would seize whose territory.

Upon confirming his speculation, the two quickened their pace significantly.

Before long, they finally saw the Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetles in the Growth Stage.

At this moment, their appearance was already very similar to adult beetles, fully covered with hard, thick Insect Armor, typically reaching the War General Level, and their combat methods had increased.

However, such strength wasn't enough to trouble the two.

Looking at the dead Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetles, Zhang Yuyan whispered, "I didn't expect it to be so easy. We should have just charged in directly."

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "It's not that easy."

Chu Chen shared all his conjectures.

Upon hearing Chu Chen's insights, Zhang Yuyan frowned slightly.

"You mean the adults are deeper in?"

"Yes, but they probably aren't all gathered together. We should kill more later to avoid being surrounded."

After exchanging a few words, they continued the journey.

About half an hour later, they finally reached the depths of the forest, along the way killing two to three hundred Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetles in the Growth Stage.

Chu Chen was quite excited, having gained nearly three thousand more Slaughter Value.

Now, his Slaughter Value had accumulated to over thirty-three thousand, a historical high.

On the other hand, Zhang Yuyan frowned deeply as she looked ahead.

"Let's rest a bit first; another big fight is unavoidable later." Chu Chen said seriously.

Zhang Yuyan responded with a simple "Hm."

After a brief rest, they set off again.

A hundred meters ahead, Chu Chen finally saw an adult insect.

A Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetle, a meter high and two meters long, was lying on a tree, sleeping.

Its body was covered with thick Insect Armor, sparsely dotted with white spots, with a pair of antennae over a meter in length. The end of its Insect Legs was densely hooked, allowing it to firmly fix itself on the tree. Its mouthparts were a pair of jet-black Jaw Scissors.

However, its Jaw Scissors were very different from Nirvana's.

The surface of the Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetle's Jaw Scissors was extremely smooth and they were short and thick.

The surface of Nirvana's Jaw Scissors was also smooth, but inside were many serrated, flat blades, and the Jaw Scissors were long and large.

In terms of attack power, Nirvana's Jaw Scissors were deadlier, but the Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetle's Jaw Scissors were stronger.

Chu Chen, without making much comparison, directly summoned the Slaughter Atlas to examine the Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetle's information.

Star Beast Name: Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetle

Life Level: Mature Stage

Star Beast Quality: Elite Level Upper Grade

Star Beast Talent: Thick Armor

Star Beast Level: Ninth Rank War General Level

Power Talent: D-level

Defense Talent: D+ Level

Agility Talent: E-level

Physical Talent: E-level

Soul Power Talent: E-level

Star Power Talent: D-level

Star Beast Attribute: Wind Element, Fire Element

Star Beast Skills: Jaw Scissors (Ordinary Level, Minor Achievement Realm), Flame Breath (Elite Level, Minor Achievement Realm), Wind Armor (Elite Level, Minor Achievement Realm)

The attributes of the Wind-Fire Rhinoceros Beetle were definitely considered above average for the same realm.

Although these attributes were far from comparable to Lei Yao and the other beasts, their numbers easily compensated for this gap.
