The horrific death toll made everyone's hair stand on end.
But it wasn't over yet, with the captain's third shriek.
The thieves were the first to throw flash bombs, the endless bright light temporarily blinded countless people,—not surprisingly, even those far away tried to see the thieves clearly, especially since the smoke from the smoke bombs had just cleared below.
Screams erupted immediately; the thieves had put away their heavy crossbows and now light crossbows appeared, shooting out in sequence.
However, this time they weren't targeting the enemy below but the mutated bees.
These bees were enormous, a mutation created by the Starfire Splitting Worm Nest using ancient bees to conserve energy units.
Li Yao felt these bees weren't of much strategic value compared to his other troops, so he hadn't paid them any attention, allowing the Splitting Worm Nest to develop on its own.
