Looking at the tide of insects suddenly frozen outside the city, Hou Changfeng's expression was uncertain.
Although he didn't know what had happened, he was certain it was nothing good.
It was very likely that the Hell-level BOSS, hidden behind the scenes, was brewing an even more terrifying conspiracy.
"Everyone, don't stop!"
He roared, his voice echoing like thunder above the city wall.
"Keep attacking with all your might!"
"Yes!"
The professionals on the city wall responded in unison, once again unleashing a barrage of skills onto the motionless black sea.
However, what happened next beca even more bizarre.
Facing the overwhelming torrent of magic, the beetles showed no reaction.
They just floated there, dumbfounded, allowing the violent skills to blast their companions into pieces, yet they neither dodged nor retaliated.
"What... what exactly is going on?"
Li Gang frowned, the scene before him was unprecedented and beyond his comprehension.
"Sothing's not right."
"These insects, why do they feel as if they've suddenly been controlled by soone?"
Hou Changfeng subconsciously retorted, "Don't be silly, this is a swarm of nearly a million insects. Who has the ability to control all of them?"
However, no sooner had he spoken than another anomaly occurred!
The black insect swarm covering the energy barrier finally moved.
But they didn't continue attacking the barrier.
Instead, they abruptly changed direction, as if receiving so silent command, and charged madly towards the true army of mutated beasts outside the city!
Buzz—!
The dense black insect swarm, like a receding black sky, instantly detached from the energy barrier.
They converged into terrifying torrents, emitting a chilling, dense buzzing sound, and slamd fiercely into the flank of the mutated beast army!
"Roar?"
A massive Ironclad Rhinoceros hadn't even reacted before it was instantly engulfed by a black wave.
Countless beetles clung to its hard carapace, their sharp mouthparts gnawing frantically.
"Crunch! Crunch!"
Amidst the grating sounds of cracking, the thick carapace, strong enough to withstand cannon fire, was actually gnawed into countless tiny holes.
Imdiately after, more beetles burrowed into its body through the holes.
The Ironclad Rhinoceros let out an agonizing shriek, its massive body crashing to the ground, twitching violently.
In just a few breaths, its twitching stopped.
When the insect swarm receded, only a bloody, skeletal fra remained.
This scene utterly stunned everyone on the city wall.
"Holy crap? Infighting?"
"Why are these insects suddenly attacking other mutated beasts?"
"Can soone explain to what in the world is going on?"
However, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, but no one could explain such a spectacle.
Li Gang approached Hou Changfeng, his face showing an expression of having seen sothing truly rare.
"Governor, you are well-versed. What do you say is going on now?"
"Why did the insect army down there suddenly turn traitor?"
Hou Changfeng didn't answer the question.
Instead, he let out a loud and long burp.
An indescribable stench spewed from his mouth, nearly knocking Li Gang unconscious.
Only after he finished burping did Hou Changfeng's complexion improve considerably.
He gave Li Gang an annoyed look.
"You ask , who am I supposed to ask?"
"In any case, sothing abnormal is always a sign of trouble. Everyone, perk up, stay vigilant, and observe carefully!"
Li Gang covered his nose and silently kept his distance.
Then he nodded in deep agreent.
In a corner of the city wall, Caesar smiled faintly.
His athyst-like compound eyes reflected the chaotic battlefield outside the city, calm and unruffled.
Is this the effect of the 【Insect Emperor】?
It's simply... too exhilarating.
As long as they entered his Perception range, all the insects on this battlefield would beco his most loyal servants.
With just a thought, he could easily turn a million-strong army.
Not just this million-strong insect swarm.
Even the Hell-level BOSS, still hiding deep underground and thinking it controlled the whole situation, had long since beco his slave.

A series of System notifications flooded Zhou Huai's mind.
Caesar's Rank soared like a rocket!
Such a terrifying insect swarm was also a devastating disaster for the ordinary mutated beasts.
They simply couldn't comprehend why their "allies" who were fighting alongside them a second ago would turn their blades on them the next.
A Disaster-level BOSS, a berserk giant bear over ten ters tall, was swinging its massive paws, frantically swatting at the surging insect swarm.
Each swing took the lives of thousands of beetles.
But its attacks seed so pale and powerless against the endless tide of insects.
More beetles fearlessly surged forward.
They sward over the giant bear's massive body, burrowed into its thick fur, gnawed at its flesh, and tore at its eyeballs.
The berserk giant bear let out a painful roar, its massive body thrashing wildly on the ground, trying to crush these annoying little things.
But it was all in vain.
Its struggles grew weaker and weaker, and finally, its massive body crashed to the ground, completely silent.
The black tide receded from its corpse, leaving only a mangled, skeletal remains.
Overwhelming!
It wasn't until hundreds of mutated beasts were brutally slaughtered in the sa manner that the outer mutated beast army belatedly realized what was happening.
The insect race was truly backstabbing their allies!
First ca shock, then endless rage!
Mutated beasts let out earth-shattering roars, their crimson eyes fixed on the black beetles, howling as they launched a counterattack!
However, the counterattack was utterly aningless.
This was an elite insect swarm cultivated by a Hell-level BOSS!
How could these ordinary mutated beasts possibly resist it?
The overwhelming insect swarm, like the scythe of the grim reaper, fearlessly charged into the mutated beast army, comncing a rciless slaughter!
Wherever they went, flesh and blood flew, and wails filled the fields.
Not even the corpses of the mutated beasts were left, as they were gnawed clean!
And in the corner of the city wall, two dazzling white lights once again appeared on Caesar's body.
【System Notification: Congratulations, Host! Clone ‘Caesar’ has reached Rank LV5!】
The Rank five Caesar quickly learned a new skill.
Zhou Huai clicked to check it.
