Chapter 524: Devouring the World by Insects

"The Imperial Seal! Its sight is as rare as the cold northern lights!"

With the appearance of the gray-robed man, control of Liuhe City swiftly shifted to him.

Mr. Shi led a massive legion of zombies, pouring forth like a tide across the mountains and valleys, their figures slumped with a resentment-filled aura. The surroundings outside Liuhe City turned deathly silent.

On the city walls, a tremor spread as the terrifying zombie legion approached—a force dreaded above all by the legions of Zhongshan. Massacre the city? Some could face life and death, but not the lifeless, biting zombies that now encroached.

Facing death, being killed and done with it was one thing, but to be transformed into these zombies—creatures that bite on sight—sent chills through countless hearts.

Even from a distance, the oppressive aura of death was palpable. Soldiers on the city walls quivered with fear.

"Mr. Chong, what... what do we do?" The former city lord gazed at the gray-robed man in terror.

Mr. Chong, the ace envoy summoned by the imperial seal, replied coldly, "Why panic?" A chilling air swept towards the city lord.

"Y-yes!" The city lord trembled in fear.

Mr. Chong gazed coldly at the sea of zombies before him, his demeanor not that of fear but of excitement.

"You three stay, everyone else, leave!" Mr. Chong commanded.

"Yes!" The city lord immediately complied.

With a wave of his hand, all the soldiers retreated from the city walls, leaving only the city lord and his two guards. Confused, the three men watched as Mr. Chong suddenly appeared before them.

"Bang~~~ Bang~~~~"

With a single blow from Mr. Chong, both guards were instantly killed.

"Mr. Chong, what is this?" The city lord exclaimed in shock.

"I need bodies!" Mr. Chong replied curtly.

Upon hearing this, the city lord was astonished. He stepped aside, no longer daring to speak. Just needing bodies, Mr. Chong had killed two men—this Mr. Chong was too terrifying.

Mr. Chong casually extended his hand, and the city lord noticed several black insects suddenly flying out from Mr. Chong's sleeve.

These... insects? Insects hidden in Mr. Chong's sleeve?

As the city lord watched in amazement, the dozen black insects suddenly rushed towards the two corpses on the ground. Clearly visible, the insects bit holes in the corpses' faces and burrowed into their skin. Burrowing into the bodies?

Witnessing this scene, the city lord was stunned. What kind of insects were these?

Moments later, as the zombie legion drew nearer, the city lord grew more and more panicked.

After a stick of incense burned down, the city lord was horrified to see the bodies on the ground seemingly come to life, their skin rapidly bulging and moving.

"Come out!" Mr. Chong commanded.

"Bang~~~ Bang~~~~"

The skins of the two corpses burst open suddenly. Inside, all flesh and blood had vanished, leaving behind only eerie white bones. Internally, the bones were filled with countless black insects. What had entered as just a dozen insects now numbered tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands.

The city lord staggered back in terror.

The city lord staggered back in fear, step by step.

"These dozen or so insects... after eating the flesh of the corpses, they multiplied into so many? What are these insects? Too terrifying, too terrifying!"

In an instant, the skin on the corpses vanished, leaving behind just piles of white bones.

The city lord stared at the endless black insects, their shock greater than that of the countless zombies in the distance. It was too terrifying.

"What in the world are these?"

A chill ran down the city lord's entire body.

With a wave of his hand, Mr. Chong sent millions of black insects rushing towards the distant zombie army.

Endless bodies, endless insects.

The two forces clashed.

The zombie legion versus the insect legion!

A battle of infinite terror unfolded.

The densely packed insects dispersed, becoming inconspicuous at first glance. Only the city lord knew that these seemingly inconspicuous insects, upon encountering zombies, would continue to divide and multiply endlessly.

Mr. Shi stood in the rear, accompanied by sharp scouts who continuously relayed frontline intelligence back to Zhongshan.

Below Liuhe City, Mr. Shi gazed towards the distant city, not seeing the scattered small insects.

Until, until the army was only five li away from Liuhe City, a mutation occurred.

At the very front, the foremost row of zombies suddenly turned completely black, as if their bodies had transformed into flowing black liquid. It wasn't black liquid, but insects—countless insects covered the zombies from head to toe.

The horrifying insects devoured all the flesh and blood from the zombies. Suddenly exploding apart, they surged towards more zombies.

The foremost zombies instantly turned into piles of white bones, collapsing to the ground.

"Huh?" A scout suddenly exclaimed in astonishment.

Mr. Shi's expression also tightened.

With a beckoning gesture, dozens of insects from afar immediately responded.

One of the insects crawled onto a scout.

"Ah!" The scout yelled angrily.

The insect had actually bitten through his skin. With a surge of true energy, the scout shook the insect to death.

"Corpse-eating insects?" Mr. Shi exclaimed in surprise.

"Hahahaha!"

On the city tower, Mr. Chong burst into hearty laughter.

Because on the battlefield, the front-line zombies had all turned into skeletons, completely consumed. Meanwhile, the terrifying insects multiplied increasingly, filling the sky with a dense, black mass.

"Mr. Shi, I need to report the situation to His Majesty. Is there anything you want me to convey?" The scout quickly asked.

The scout also recognized the threat. These insects seemed like natural enemies of the zombies—devouring and relentlessly multiplying. It was too terrifying, too terrifying. At this rate, the front-line zombies had already been devoured, and it was only a matter of time before the rear zombies met the same fate. With the insects multiplying rapidly, what disaster would ensue if they were to attack our army? It was too terrifying, even more terrifying than the zombie legion.

Liuhe City! A few days ago, a gray-clothed man suddenly appeared. He wore a cloak with his face hidden beneath its veil, making it impossible to discern his features.

However, upon his arrival, the gray-clothed man presented a golden token.

The Lord of Liuhe City immediately stood respectfully.

"A Royal Decree Token, as chilling as seeing the aurora!"

Instantly, the gray-clothed man took control of Liuhe City.

Mr. Shi arrived with a massive legion of zombies, rolling in like a tide across the mountains, their figures drooping with a curse-laden air. Outside Liuhe City, an eerie silence fell.

The city tower trembled as the terrifying legion of zombies approached, the most feared force among Zhongshan's armies. Some could face life and death, but not the relentless undead, not these zombies that bit on sight. Fear gripped countless hearts.

From afar, the deathly aura soared into the sky. Soldiers on the city tower trembled in fear.

"Mr. Shi, what... what should we do?" The former city lord gazed fearfully at the gray-clothed man.

Mr. Shi, the ace envoy summoned by the chilling aurora, spoke coldly. A chill swept towards the city lord.

"Don't panic!" Mr. Shi's tone was icy. He directed a chilling gaze at the city lord.

"Yes!" The city lord responded immediately, filled with dread.

Mr. Shi looked coldly upon the countless zombies, a smile devoid of fear but filled with anticipation.

"You three stay, everyone else, leave!" Mr. Shi ordered.

"Yes!" The city lord immediately complied.

With a wave of his hand, all the soldiers left the city tower. Only the city lord and his two guards remained.

The three were puzzled, but Mr. Shi suddenly appeared before them.

"Bang~~~ Bang~~~"

With one hand each, Mr. Shi swiftly struck down the two guards.

"Mr. Shi, what... what is this?" The city lord exclaimed in shock.

"I need bodies!" Mr. Shi replied curtly.

Upon hearing Mr. Shi's words, the city lord was taken aback. He stepped aside immediately, too terrified to speak further. Mr. Shi casually extended his hand, and from his sleeve emerged a dozen black insects.

Insects? Insects hidden in Mr. Shi's sleeves?

As the city lord watched in astonishment, the dozen black insects suddenly rushed towards the bodies on the ground. The insects bit through the flesh of the corpses, burrowing inside.

Watching this scene unfold, the city lord was astounded. What kind of insects were these?

After a short while, the bodies on the ground seemed to stir. Their skin swelled rapidly, the insects inside multiplying exponentially.

The city lord recoiled in horror.

Meanwhile, Mr. Shi waved his hand, and millions of black insects surged towards the distant zombie army.

Endless bodies, endless insects.

The clash of the two armies began.

The legion of zombies versus the legion of insects!

A terrifying battle unfolded.

The densely packed insects dispersed, becoming inconspicuous, yet only the city lord knew that these inconspicuous insects, upon encountering zombies, would continue to divide and multiply endlessly.

Mr. Shi stood behind, his scouts transmitting frontline intelligence back to Zhongshan.

Below Liuhe City, Mr. Shi observed the distant city without spotting the scattered insects.

Until, until the army was only five li away from Liuhe City, a mutation occurred.

At the forefront, the first row of zombies suddenly turned completely black, their bodies transforming into a flowing black liquid. Not black liquid, but insects—countless insects covered the zombies completely.

The horrifying insects devoured all the flesh and blood from the zombies, then burst apart, rushing towards more zombies.

The zombies at the forefront instantly turned into piles of white bones, collapsing to the ground.

"Huh?" A scout suddenly exclaimed.

Mr. Shi's expression tightened.

With a beckoning gesture, dozens of insects from afar immediately responded.

One insect crawled onto a scout.

"Ah!" The scout yelled in anger.

The insect had bitten through his skin. With a surge of true energy, the scout crushed the insect.

"Corpse-eating insects?" Mr. Shi exclaimed in surprise.

"Hahahaha!"

On the city tower, Mr. Shi burst into laughter.

Because on the battlefield, the front-line zombies had all turned into skeletons, completely consumed. Meanwhile, the terrifying insects multiplied increasingly, filling the sky with a dense, black mass.

"Mr. Shi, I need to report to His Majesty. Do you have any messages?" The scout quickly asked.

The scout also recognized the threat. These insects seemed like natural enemies of the zombies—devouring and relentlessly multiplying. It was too terrifying, even more so than the zombie legion.

"Tell His Majesty that I will surely take Liuhe City. I cannot eliminate the swarm of insects in a short time, but inform him that these insects are called 'Corpse-eating Insects.' His Majesty should understand," Mr. Shi said.

"Yes!" The scout recorded with a memory crystal while responding.

With two insects and the memory crystal in hand, the scout swiftly flew back.

Under Mr. Shi's control, the endless zombies continued to march forward, seemingly fearless of life and death. Of course, these zombies were already dead.

No one knew Mr. Shi's plan.

More and more zombies were devoured, and more and more insects emerged.

Terrifyingly, a battle between zombies and insects unfolded outside Liuhe City.

The battle commenced, witnessed by countless soldiers surrounding Liuhe City.

"Roar~~~"

The endless soldiers roared with excitement. The zombie legion had finally been restrained, finally meeting their match. The opposing army was halted, doomed, hahaha.

Who wouldn't be excited? Countless insects devouring everything!

The city lord watched with excitement as the sky filled with a dark mass of insects. His initial fear had vanished, replaced by excitement because these endless insects were part of his own army, fighting alongside them.

The zombies continued to disappear, more and more transforming into white bones. Victory! Victory!

The city lord cheered, the battle relentless. The zombies kept advancing, Mr. Shi squinted his eyes, his brow furrowing. What was happening? What was Mr. Shi planning in the distance?

Countless insects rushed towards Mr. Shi.

Mr. Shi grasped a bell specially used to control zombies, accompanied by a group of fearful scouts. It was terrifying. Why hadn't Mr. Shi left yet? With a flick of his hand, Mr. Shi's body was surrounded by a layer of glass.

Countless insects swarmed the glass, unable to enter.

The scouts breathed a sigh of relief.

In the distance, Mr. Shi watched coldly.

Four hours passed.

In those four hours, all the zombies fell, all transforming into white bones. Had the zombie legion been defeated? Completely defeated?

"Mr. Shi, your power!" The city lord immediately complimented.

Indeed, the zombie legion, which had terrified others, was so vulnerable before Mr. Shi. Mr. Shi was too powerful.

"Well, I'm going to Zhongshan Camp. I leave the cleanup here to you!" Mr. Shi said.

"Mr. Shi, rest assured, I'll handle it!" The city lord patted his chest, assuring.

Mr. Shi nodded.

Then, Mr. Shi's body turned pitch black, followed by his clothes. Finally, his body suddenly transformed into countless insects, flying out and merging into the sky full of insects, covering the sky and obscuring the sun.

The city lord stared in disbelief at the departing insects. Could Mr. Shi transform into insects? What... what was this?

Mr. Shi merged into the swarm of insects.

Mr. Shi didn't use a zombie attack for this reason, so there was no attack. Which was Mr. Shi?

Mr. Shi didn't pursue Mr. furiously fought back.
