The fleet charged forward, breaking through enemy lines. At dawn, they crushed another Insect Swarm. Nearly a thousand Flying Ships formed up, bathing in the golden morning light of the rising sun, and surged mightily toward the Insect Nest.
Lü Zhong stood at the prow, gazing into the far distance.
The closer they got to the Insect Nest, the thinner the mist became. He could now see into the extreme distance, where a sea of insects floated. Tens of thousands of Skeleton Insects hovered there, undulating in the air, truly resembling a vast, turbulent ocean.

Then, the light suddenly intensified. Countless beams of light shone from within the swarm—it was the giant Skeleton Insects mixed into the sea of insects, launching the first attack on the fleet.
The cultivators retaliated.
