Chapter 270: Chapter 623 Achievements Fulfilled, Retire from the Scene 1
Other pets generally give absolute obedience to the commands of a prime pet. It’s somewhat akin to having a spokesperson.
The Insect Masters of the Nine Insect Gang, each had recognized a large number of insects as pets. For convenience, they might focus on cultivating one pet as their prime pet.
The Binding Fairy Spider that was killed was incredibly formidable, and it must have been extremely important in the eyes of its master.
Countless efforts and innumerable resources had been spent on raising it.
Imagine, such an important pet being destroyed in an instant by someone.
Moreover, the master was injured in the process.
With such a serious loss, it’s frightening to think how anyone could not go mad.
That person going after Qin Niu in a frenzy was actually out of desperation. As soon as he reached Qin Niu, he was sliced in half by a swing of the knife. When facing enemies of the Innate Realm level, if the opponent doesn’t have a weapon or shield that can contend with the Ink Blade, it’s basically one-hit kills in front of Qin Niu.
After slaying this person with one stroke, Qin Niu didn’t forget his old trade.
He quickly looted the corpse’s belongings.
These people were not ordinary soldiers, but rather persons with some status in the Nine Insect Gang.
To be a disciple of an elder, at least, had to be at the level of an executor.
One after another, the Ground Armor insects, along with the Grinding Disk Scorpion, all launched attacks at Qin Niu.
When the scorpion, as large as a grinding disk, swiftly crawled behind Qin Niu, trying to launch a sneak attack, Qin Niu swung his knife and struck.
Hiss!
Again, cut into two halves.
The Ink Blade, combined with his Slash Martial Skill, was just too powerful.
Nearly any god you encounter, slay; any buddha, execute.
Whether it be human or insect, all were killed instantly.
“Damnable, damnable!”
A shrill howl echoed in the fog. Screaming at the top of the lungs, the person must be at the peak of grief and anger.
However, they were too intimidated by Qin Niu’s fearsome combat ability to dare to come over and face certain death.
They could only scream from a distance.
After looting the belongings, Qin Niu didn’t forget to pack the corpses of the
Binding Fairy Spider and Grinding Disk Scorpion into his basket.
The basket, which was already quite full, became even more packed.
That was after he had bought a larger backpack; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to fit so many items.
His gains had been tremendous along the way.
He had collected quite a number of high-level insect corpses.
He planned to save them to feed the Ant Queen and the Green Demon Bee when he got back.
It looked like much now, but when it came to actually raising them, this amount was not much at all.
The Ground Armor insects on the ground posed almost no threat to Qin Niu.
As they were just about to attack Qin Niu, they were taken down by the termites.
At this point, Master He Shan quickly turned the tide from danger to safety.
The enemy’s lavish lineup was dismantled in a moment, no longer grandiose. “These Grade Six Steel-winged Green-headed Bees are quite nice; taking them back as feed for my insects should be great.”
Qin Niu looked up at those still attacking Master He Shan.
Hearing Qin Niu’s muttering, the owner hiding in the dark tightened instantly.
When he saw Qin Niu walking toward those poison bees, without a second thought, he immediately summoned the bees to flee.
Against a demon like Qin Niu, if you’re slow to escape, you’re dead.
“Qin Niu, well done. If it weren’t for your help just now, this old life of mine would have been gone.”
Master He Shan was now capable of handling the enemy’s insects with ease.
The Ground Armor insects on the ground were fighting with Master He Shan’s Golden Armored Centipede, and they were no match for the centipede.
Though they were both predators, the ability of the Ground Armor insects was far too inferior to that of the Golden Armored Centipede.
“Don’t mention it, I’ll go burn their ships first,”
Qin Niu immediately dashed rapidly toward the enemy ships moored nearby.
A gigantic centipede appeared in front of him.
It was over five meters long, its body thicker than a human waist, its hard shell and venomous fangs were clearly visible.
Even the segments on its antennae were distinctly discernable.
“Hmph, such a petty trick, is it annoying?”
Qin Niu did not attack the huge centipede but simply charged past it.
Just as he had expected, the terrifying giant centipede was nothing but an illusion created by the Mirror Frog Insect.
Along the way, no enemy dared to confront him.
As for those insects, ordinary ones were useless against him. Any formidable insect daring to approach him would most likely be cut down with a single slash.
Eventually, he reached the warships moored by the riverbank, and with a firebrand, he set them ablaze.
These warships, made of wood, quickly caught fire with the help of the strong night breeze.
The fire used the wind’s power, the wind fueled the flames.
In just a moment, a fierce fire raged by the riverbank, and the mist over the river started to gradually dissipate.
The disciples of Elder Jiu Yin must have sensed something was amiss as they began to flee hastily.
In the light of the fire, one could see two warships swiftly rowing towards the opposite bank.
If these people didn’t flee, they were sure to meet a dead end.
As the river fog cleared, the sky gradually began to brighten.
Dawn was approaching; it was almost daybreak.
Only a ground littered with insect corpses remained.
They told the story of the fierce battle from the night before.
Qin Niu had already prepared his life-saving Invisibility Talisman, ready to use it.
Now, however, he silently put it away.
It was good to save it for the next time.
Such life-saving trump cards should be used only when absolutely necessary. “We’ve successfully completed our mission, but I wonder how Deputy City Lord Bai is doing?”
Master He Shan, looking at the hundreds of enemy ships that were completely destroyed, couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.
“Qin Niu, your contributions to today’s battle were immense. I will make sure to report this truthfully.”
“Since the battle here is over, I should depart as well. As for the military recognition, you can decide on that.”
Qin Niu bid farewell to Master He Shan.
Having killed two of Elder Jiu Yin’s disciples and severing the arm of his senior disciple, it would be wise to leave this place as soon as possible.
After fighting the enemy for so long, Qin Niu had come to understand just how powerful the Insect Masters were.
If it weren’t for this Ink Blade, he doubted he would have been able to leave alive.
Not to mention single-handedly turning the tide of battle and winning the final insect war.
After bidding farewell to Master He Shan, Qin Niu, carrying his basket on his back, used the Misty Rain Elusive Step to quickly move forward.
He didn’t take the warhorse with him.
If he had wanted it, Master He Shan would have surely agreed.
But such ordinary mounts held no value in Qin Niu’s eyes. Taking it back would mean having to take care of it, which would be a bother.
There was no need for that.
With such a plentiful haul from the journey, what he wanted to do most now was to rush back to Shuangfeng Village and plant the Ice Lotus.
If too much time was delayed, this exotic plant could easily perish.
Even with his Everlasting Spring Technique, he might not be able to revive it. When he first uprooted the Ice Lotus, it continuously released an immense amount of cold air. But now, the cold air it released was weak, indicating that it was on the verge of dying.
He also needed to take back the insects he had captured, along with various insect corpses, and feed them to the Ant Queen as soon as possible.
Furthermore, having been away from home for so long, he was really starting to feel homesick.
He missed Miss Wang from next door, the soft and delicate Tang Caixian, the maidservant Xiao Qing… and he was even more worried about any mishap befalling the Ant Queen..
