Meanwhile, the nearby Insect-men continued to command the beetles, using the power of the Earth Element to construct one-meter-tall, honeycomb-shaped balls of earth.
The sated centipedes then burrowed into the earthen spheres to rest.
After finishing these tasks, the Insect-men took out massive, coarse red leaves, each two meters long and several dozen centimeters wide. They arranged them along the newly built earthen walls, creating a dome over the crude Insect Nest to shield it from the elements.
As they worked on the Insect Nest, they chattered away to the several academy members observing them, holding nothing back as they explained a series of crucial construction techniques.
The exchange personnel selected by the academy listened intently to the Insect-men, furiously scribbling notes on their papers.
Han Ning, Dean Wu, and a few others sat atop several beetles, watching the scene unfold below. They all nodded in satisfaction.
