Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points-Chapter 267 - 260 Mirror Frog Insect_1

Chapter 267: Chapter 260 Mirror Frog Insect_1

Insect Masters’ charm lies precisely in this: a single person can become an

army.

If it hadn’t been for Qin Niu setting fire to those few ships, causing the mist to dissipate, who would have thought that there was actually only one enemy here?

If I’m not mistaken, the enemy stationed here is Nie Kun alone.

“What a clever tactic!”

Master He Shan swung his sword repeatedly, slashing at an afterimage.

The afterimage, however, swiftly fled to a distant place.

It wasn’t large; it looked like an eye-shaped frog, adept at leaping, its speed almost on par with the fabled Grade Seven Taiyin Yaoyao.

In the blink of an eye, the eye-shaped insect had vanished without a trace.

What kind of monster was this?

This time, Qin Niu truly opened his eyes.

He had seen all sorts of strange insects.

“Damn it, to be toyed with by a Mirror Frog Insect, next time I encounter it, I must kill it,” raged Master He Shan, cursing the fleeing shadow.

Qin Niu listened and chuckled to himself, wondering what loss Master He Shan had suffered, appearing so infuriated and embarrassed.

At this moment, Master He Shan was sweating profusely, his helmet had fallen off, looking quite disheveled.

“Qin Niu, are these your boats?”

Master He Shan immediately spotted Qin Niu standing by the riverbank.

“They are! But there are only a few boats here, we might have been deceived. The enemy is cunning; they may have stopped the boats somewhere else.”

Qin Niu looked at the burning ships and said.

“Let’s go upriver and take a look.”

Master He Shan quickly made a decision.

Qin Niu followed, and the other guards looked at him with respect.

Even the dullest understood that Qin Niu had just driven off the enemy, saving them all.

“Master He, was that Mirror Frog Insect actually an insect?”

“It’s a very rare type of insect, if it can even be accurately classified as such.

They are kind of insect but not really.”

“Is it very powerful then?”

“Its greatest skill is to create some very realistic and frightening illusions. The stronger you are, the stronger the enemy it conjures. Even in broad daylight, one can easily fall for its trick. If one cannot see through the falsehood that its created enemies are mere illusions, they’ll end up fighting endlessly against these phantom foes. When exhausted to the point of collapse, the Mirror Frog Insect will consume their brain juices.

They specialize in sucking the brain juices of animals.

Especially those of humans and simians, which possess high intelligence, are their favorites.”

As Master He Shan rode the lion, he spoke of the Mirror Frog Insect’s tactics.

“Do the illusions it creates have any lethality?”

“They have no lethality on their own. However, once you attack, that illusion gains lethality. It’s like always fighting against yourself. Each attack you deliver becomes the actual attack power of the illusion.”

“In that case, to deal with this thing, one simply needs not to strike.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Niu clicked his tongue in wonder.

There are countless creatures in the world, and strange ones continue to emerge incessantly.

There’s a saying that goes well: what exists is justified.

The existence of these Mirror Frog Insects indicates they certainly have survival capabilities.

“Heh, you make it sound so simple. When faced with an enemy attack, it s impossible to remain indifferent. The Mirror Frog Insect precisely capitalizes on the animal’s instinctual fear, which is why it has garnered such immense notoriety.”

Master He Shan shook his head with a wry smile.

Faced with a sudden enemy attack, I believe no one would just stand there

hands tied.

The first reaction is to strike back.

“As soon as an attack is launched, the illusionary monsters created by the Mirror Frog Insect immediately gain energy, thus obtaining real lethality.

“Then how can we break its spell?”

Qin Niu, not understanding, asked.

He was very interested in that strange insect, and given the chance, he wanted to capture it.

But it was useless to capture one that had already recognized another as its master.

“The only way to break the spell is to find its real body and attack that directly. Apart from running fast, the Mirror Frog Insect’s real body has no other abilities. Any Grade Two insect could easily kill it. For an Innate Realm powerhouse like you and me, it’s even more needless to say, a single finger could poke it to death.”

That was easier said than done.

Once they were confused by the illusions it created, everyone would definitely be caught up in tense combat, with no chance to pay attention to it.

And the Mirror Frog Insect surely wasn’t stupid enough to reveal itself and let people discover it.

They ran upstream for about a kilometer and discovered nothing. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

“Damnit, we’ve made the wrong judgement again!”

Master He Shan, infuriated, tugged at his beard.

Just now, the enemy had fled upstream, and almost everyone subconsciously believed that the enemy ships were upstream.

But they had fallen into the enemy’s trap again.

Members of the Nine Insect Gang were not only ruthless but also full of cunning tricks.

When dealing with these enemies, one must be extremely vigilant.

Otherwise, one could easily fall for the enemy’s deceit.

The group made their way downstream along the same path they had come from.

To transport a large army across the river, at least a hundred ships would be needed.

If it was a surprise attack, to shorten the time crossing the river, they might even use several hundred ships.

It was most likely that so many ships would be docked by the riverside.

The chance they had gone back to the opposite bank was very slim.

And dragging the ships ashore was even more unlikely.

If the enemy ships were not upstream, it meant they were very likely downstream.

As they proceeded downstream along the river, after less than three kilometers, they encountered a thick river fog ahead, obscuring their view.

“Not this trick again, so annoying!”

Master He Shan, upon seeing the dense river fog, realized their visibility was limited to only three or four meters, and that was with the illumination from torches. Without the torches, in the pitch-black night, they would likely struggle to see even two meters ahead.

Having had a recent bitter experience, each of them felt apprehensive when they now faced the heavy fog, showing fear on their faces.

Becoming an Insect Master was no easy feat.

These individuals held prestigious positions and lived without want, and now facing the threat of death, they would certainly cling to life.

“Last time it was also dense fog, and I set those boats on fire, which quickly dispersed the fog. This river fog is very likely created by the enemy on purpose,” said Qin Niu.

Their enemy was playing a bluff; in reality, there was only one person.

But with the fog as a cover, making it difficult to distinguish the true situation, it would be easy to assume there were many enemies hidden within.

“There is an insect called the Fog Concealing Insect! They live in water or deep mountains, and they love to create fog to hide themselves. These river mists were likely created by them.”

Although afraid, Master He Shan, being the commander, still showed some resolve.

He resolutely led the way into the fog.

Their mission was to burn the enemy ships and cut off the enemy’s escape routes. Then they would wait for Vice City Lord Bai to lead the grand army to eliminate the enemy.

The Insect Masters had two tasks: one was to deal with the enemy s Insect Masters.

The second task was to burn the ships and destroy the paths.

Qin Niu, skilled and daring, followed right behind Master He Shan, charging ahead.

Having learned the hard way last time, after entering the fog it was very easy to lose one’s way and end up going in circles. This time, before he even entered the fog, he had Fourth identify the direction.
