Li Yao reminded that it wasn't that the Worm Tribe was so powerful that they defied the natural order or stood at the top of the food chain.
It was that the Worm Tribe had many individuals with special abilities. Some insects were incredibly fragile, like parasites that are weak before infesting a host, and could be killed easily without any weapons, with a simple pinch.
But once they successfully enter a creature's body, removing them is as difficult as reaching the heavens.
Moreover, the Worm Tribe possessed some extremely nasty traits, such as fearlessness in the face of death. Within the Worm Tribe, as long as a higher-ranking member issued an order, even if they knew they were heading into a deadly trap, there would be no fear or retreat. In their minds, there were only orders to follow and instincts.
Creatures that do not fear death become terrifying, unlike ordinary monsters, both in mentality and method.
