At this moment, near the border of the Snow Country.
A red and a green humanoid Insect Race stood silently at the front of the line, breathing the cold air of the Snow Country.
Even though this land was covered in ice and snow all year round, compared to their barren, desolate homeland...
The conditions here were significantly better!
"Indeed... the air of this world is much fresher."
The red humanoid Insect Race displayed an almost intoxicated expression.
Its shell-like arms slowly spread out, as if wanting to embrace this frigid and pure world.
However, the green Insect Race beside it did not rush to savor the moment. It pondered a bit, and cautiously spoke:
"This location we found this time... is quite peculiar."
"Why would the Demon Race, always opposed to us, voluntarily reveal the coordinates of this world to us?"
Upon hearing its companion's concern, the red Insect Race's expression also turned serious.
This matter indeed carried an unusual air.
Although the Insect Race and Demon Race were not mortal enemies like other races and the Demon Race, they still had their share of conflicts.
The Demon Race has no reason to help them find a new world to devour...
"Let all Insect Race members be cautious, avoid falling into a trap by the Demon Race."
"Even though our Insect Race fears no challenge, but..."
"We cannot afford senseless sacrifices either."
"However, the reason the leaders sent us here is twofold: First, to explore the reality of this world..."
"Second, to uncover the true intentions of the Demon Race."
"But—"
Its tone shifted, eyes turning icy:
"Since the Demon Race voluntarily offered up the coordinates, no matter what they're plotting... we Insect Race must take this world first!"
The green Insect Race nodded heavily.
The number of Insect Race members was so vast it's hard to estimate, and the energy required to sustain the entire race was astronomical.
For survival, they had no choice but to continuously invade and devour world after world.
Soon, the two Insect Race members reached an agreement.
They raised their arms and waved silently—
The swarm of insects behind them began to surge, steadily advancing towards the center of the Snow Country.
However, at that moment, a soldier bug, slightly larger than the other Insect Race members, quickly arrived in front of the two humanoid Insect Races.
Its antennae on its forehead trembled at high frequencies, transmitting information.
Only Insect Race members of Totem Level could transform into humanoid forms, while the rest maintained their insect forms, communicating through their antennae.
Upon receiving the intel from the Half-step Totem Level soldier bug, the expressions of the two humanoid Insect Races changed dramatically.
In a flash, they appeared at the forefront of the Insect Race army.
Looking in the direction indicated by the soldier bug, they discovered a cave half-covered in ice and snow, where a giant, entirely white bear was asleep...
Its body exuded a rich Life Energy, which instinctively excited them.
The Snow Country, located at the extreme northern border of an Alternate Space, was rarely approached by other races not only due to the harsh environment but also because it was home to one of the four Fierce Beasts, the "Cold Snake."
Unlike the solitary Nine Nether Centipede King, the Cold Snake ruled the entire Snow Country, commanding numerous powerful Fierce Beasts.
And this white bear was one of the Cold Snake's capable subordinates.
At this moment, the giant bear was still in deep sleep, unaware of the looming danger—
It did not know it had been firmly targeted by a group of ravenous Insect Races, eager to feast.
Staring at the abundant Life Energy emanating from the white bear, the two Totem Level Insect Races almost drooled.
Their homeland had long been devoured to nothingness, everything barren.
Unlike the Demon Race, which valued blood as food, the Insect Race feasted on any existence imbued with Life Energy.
In the barren land of the Snow Country, even a proper plant was hard to find.
Thus, upon seeing the sleeping giant bear, greed flashed instantly in their eyes.
In the next moment, the two humanoid Insect Races could no longer restrain themselves and pounced towards the cave—
Their ferocious mandibles bit fiercely into the body of the white bear.
The sudden intense pain instantly woke the giant bear. It opened its eyes to see two bizarre creatures it had never seen before, launching an attack on it.
As the overlord of this area, being treated as prey was intolerable.
"ROAR—!!!"
The white bear let out an ear-splitting roar of rage, its massive body reared up, swinging its claws at the two Insect Races.
However, the two Insect Races, both possessing Totem Level strength, were against merely a Half-step Totem Level white bear.
Even without deliberate defense, the natural toughness of their carapaces negated any harm from the bear's bites, instead shattering its fangs with the recoil force.
At that moment, the white bear finally realized it was no match for these strange creatures.
Without hesitation, it turned to flee.
But the two ravenous Insect Races had no intention of letting their prey escape.
They caught up with the bear almost instantly, their sharp mandibles locking tightly onto its throat.
In its final moments, knowing escape was impossible, the white bear gathered all its remaining Power within...
Sending out a signal of extreme danger towards the depths of the Snowfield.
Throughout the domain of the Snow Country, long occupied jointly by the Cold Snake and the Snow Woman's forces.
Both sides had divided territories, maintaining a delicate balance of non-interference—
The Snow Woman and Cold Snake mutually respected boundaries, coexisting peacefully.
And at that moment, the white bear's critical danger signal, sent at the cost of its life, swiftly traversed the desolate, cold Snowfield, reaching faraway lands.
Meanwhile, deep within a profound ice cave, a blue giant serpent several hundred meters long, covered entirely with thick ice armor, slowly raised its massive head.
"The white bear... is dead?"
Its snake-shaped vertical pupils contracted sharply, revealing a hint of shock.
The white bear's strength ranked among the top under its command, not even managing to flee, only managing a warning of being attacked?
"Could it be... the Snow Woman's Guardian intervened?"
Among the entire Snow Domain, capable of killing a white bear so swiftly, the first thing that came to mind was the mysterious Guardian under the Snow Woman's command.
However...
The two forces had peacefully coexisted for many years, the Snow Woman had no reason to suddenly act against them.
The Cold Snake's eyes flickered with deep caution.
It wasn't reckless and foolish like the Nine Nether Centipede King.
"ROAR—!!!"
A serpeant's roar pierced through the ice layer, its sound wave carrying a chilling cold, instantly spreading across the entire Snow Domain.
Every Fierce Beast that heard this assembly signal, regardless of their current location.
They immediately turned their direction, rapidly converging towards the Cold Snake's ice cave location...
