Everything was too late; he could only do his best to escape with his life.
He chose to fly upwards, because maybe once he flew out of the Great Dark Forest, this army of ancient hornets wouldn't chase him anymore.
The idea was good, but things didn't go as planned; angering ancient hornets meant only death unless you jumped into water.
Thus, he was quickly caught up by a few Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak ancient hornet spirit beasts leading the charge.
Helpless, he had to stop and fight them.
The ancient hornets at the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak weren't weak; although he could exert the strength of the True Master First Realm Early Stage, killing them wasn't as easy as he thought.
That's because the ancient hornets were small, fast, and agile, easily dodging his attacks.
After a chaotic slash and hack, he was out of breath, utterly exhausted.
