The beam of darkness encapsulated the blade mantis, trapping it within a pocket of dead air. Under the effects of the h.e.l.l stone, the dark ray exerted a greater amount of pressure than ever seen before.

The body of the blade mantis general shrunk at an alarming rate, drying up like a parched tree as the death of its cells accelerated. Its abdomen, which was once jade-green had now turned into a sickly shade of yellow.

“Hiss!” The blade mantis struggled to keep on its feet swaying side-to-side like a bobo doll.

“Fire beam!”

Qin Feng once again let loose a ray of fire.

The beast general widened its beady eyes, turning around in an attempt to escape its fiery death.

However, its body had been weakened significantly after enduring Qin Feng’s previous attacks, no longer possessing the agility it once had.

Pop!

The fire beam exploded right around the enemy’s abdomen, blasting deep-green bodily fluids into every corner of the room, including the ceiling.

Within the ma.s.s of fluids, there appeared to be tiny orbs of light which were likely the cells of the general which had all experienced a rapid aging process.

After successfully dealing with the beast general, the other creatures, being intimidated by the grand show of force had no choice but to fall back, else they would face the same fate as their leader. However, as the number of bugs was overwhelming while the floors.p.a.ce remained limited, the crowd inched forward slowly in terror!

“h.e.l.lfire!”

Qin Feng unleashed his consciousness with explosive power. The flames literally spread like wildfire, burning with unrivalled intensity, turning the entire floor of the hotel into a sea of fire.

With nowhere to go, these bugs became trapped in an oven, awaiting their fate of being engulfed by Qin Feng’s fire.

It was only after a full three minute, when none of the bugs outside the building dared to enter did Qin Feng start to gradually turn down the flames.

He had killed over a hundred of these creepy crawlies in one go.

Apart from piles of gray-ash littering the charred floorboards, there were also tiny beads the size of a human thumbnail. It seemed that these were the energy cores of the freshly-slain insectoids.

Of course, there were only a handful of these beads laying around as most insectoids were pretty weak; only a fraction of them possessed energy cores, unlike the undead corpses that possessed individual cores.

“Retrieve!”

Making use of his consciousness, Qin Feng collected all the energy cores which came flying into his palm.

From killing more than a hundred of these guys, Qin Feng merely harvested a grand total of thirteen energy cores, including one from that beast general he took down.

Alongside the cores, Qin Feng tucked away the blade mantis general’s slicers into the spatial rune equipment.

As he was doing so, a menacing figure appeared in the shattered door frame linked to the safe pa.s.sage outside.

“Cough cough!”

The man clenched tightly onto his belly, looking at Qin Feng with an expression that was a mixture of relief and fear.

“Mr. Qin, thanks for saving our lives!”

This man was one of the guys Qin Feng lobbed a round or two back at in retaliation.

Qin Feng raised his brow and replied, “You guys are making too much noise! You’ll only serve as the dinner bell for these bugs!”

The man smiled bitterly and apologised, “I’m sorry but my energy equipment’s run out of juice!”

The energy blaster he was holding was indeed silent, as opposed to the usual humming it produced. While its effect was deadly, it guzzled too much energy and was extremely costly to operate, hence the majority of gunners stuck to using traditional lead bullets and explosive rounds on the battlefield.

While there was a saying that gunners were typically money bags, failing to budget properly could burn a ma.s.sive hole in their pockets, meaning a comeback was near impossible after being drained of money and resources.

“Hmm!”

Qin Feng nodded in understanding.

The great hall on the first floor was too wide of a place to defend, with gla.s.s doors surrounding the entire vicinity. While one could reasonably hold off G-tier ultra beasts, the same could not be said for F-tier ones. From what Qin Feng observed, these people had at most poured insect-repelling powder around the place. Facing a large number of insectoids as was the case moments ago, their defensive measure was obviously insufficient.

After dealing with this threat, Qin Feng turned and left, paying little attention to these people whom he had just saved.

“Mr Qin!”

Seeing that Qin Feng was about to leave, the man called out urgently with a hint of desperation in his voice.

And yet, Qin Feng’s feet did not stop!

The man started explaining in a hurry, “Mr Qin, we stumbled onto something interesting on the second floor and I just thought that you may want to check it out! After all, this is also a safe haven for you to fall back to. Uh, right! Strength in numbers! Perhaps it would be best for us to cooperate!”
