He looked at Xu Wuyi and pushed up his glasses. "That energy spike underground just now... Did you use Water Drop?"
"Yes." Xu Wuyi didn't hide it. "Its penetration is excellent. It can precisely destroy the core without triggering a chain reaction."
Lu Wenquan recorded the data on his tablet. "I'll send the combat data back to the research institute. Also, I just detected an abnormal surge in the Energy Fluctuations of two other nests. They may have sensed the battle here."
Tie Zhan frowned. "They can communicate with each other?"
"It's likely some kind of biological network." Lu Wenquan pulled up the Star Domain map. "The Alien Insect Nests exchange information. When one is destroyed, the others will raise their alert level. The cleanup ahead might get more difficult."
Xu Wuyi gazed northwest, the desolate horizon reflected in his dark gold pupils.
"Then we'll speed up," he said. "We'll clear out as many as we can before they're fully on alert."
