Han Ruoxi quickly gathered her Electric Energy and unleashed a powerful current, striking the foremost insects and temporarily halting their pursuit.
"Got 'em! That should stop any more from chasing us for now!" Han Ruoxi said, catching her breath as she looked back.

"No!" Li Chang'an shook his head firmly. "This is just a small part of their forces. There are definitely more behind them. We can't risk it!"
Shen Qiuyue chimed in, "Our mission wasn't to annihilate the enemy. There's no need to risk our lives."

Li Chang'an ignored him and turned to the rest of the team. "Let's go. Back to base to report our findings."
The team retreated quickly. The Insect Race didn't give chase, and they finally made it out of the danger zone.
