Chapter 477 - Chapter 477: Chapter 469: Creating a Noose for Ones Own Neck_1 (2/2)

To other Insect Masters, a demon bug was a treasure, but in his eyes, it was nothing of particular significance.

Seizing the timidity of the Mirage Insect, Qin Niu intentionally frightened it.

“First find me and then we’ll talk!”

It seemed the Mirage Insect was hastening to refine the Dark Night Gu, as the light in the area was becoming dimmer and dimmer.

At this moment, Qin Niu noticed the Ancient Banyan Tree also had some reaction to the growing darkness. Its branches started to descend bit by bit, and that chill energy began to trickle down.

Though it was clearly daytime, the Ancient Banyan Tree had activated its night-time cleansing mechanism due to the special ability of the Dark Night Gu.

Qin Niu couldn’t help but gain a deeper understanding of the Dark Night Gu’s capability.

“Evil deeds will meet their due end, keep going!”

Qin Niu simply collected all of his insects, leaving only Fourth and Green Ox to guard by his side.

The frigid energy descending from the Ancient Banyan Tree was terrifying. Just a bit more exposure and the Mirage Insect would understand what it meant to weave one’s own trap.

As time trickled by, because Qin Niu was a ‘friend’ of sorts to the Ancient Banyan Tree, although the frigid energy descending would attack him too, the energy falling upon his head was much less.

“Damn it… I think I smell the scent of death! That detestable scent of death, what in the world is going on?”

The Mirage Insect could no longer bear it.

Panic was evident in its voice.

Qin Niu’s face was indifferent; he discovered that Green Ox was able to resist some of the Ancient Banyan Tree’s frigid energy. For such a long time, Green Ox didn’t lie down; it only trembled.

One could see a faint divine light on its body, protecting it from within.

This Green Ox had very special abilities.

Even though its level wasn’t high, it had already shown its extraordinariness in many aspects.

After this Water and Land Dharma Assembly, Qin Niu was determined to find a way to help Green Ox level up even more.

If it could reach level ten, probably just with Green Ox alone, he could contend with an ordinary Immortal Master.

With no escape, now that the branches of the Ancient Banyan Tree were continually lowering, more and more frigid energy fell, and the Mirage Insect’s fragile spirit could no longer hold up.

All that remained was the panic and the fear of death.

“Master, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please stop attacking, I will make a soul contract with you!”

The Mirage Insect revealed its true form, inching toward Qin Niu.

One could see that a totem had appeared on its back—a very special black insect pattern.

It must be the shape of the Dark Night Gu.

This confirmed that the Mirage Insect had indeed refined the Dark Night Gu.

But it was very cunning; although it had refined the Dark Night Gu, it deliberately formed a Light Cocoon, in order to deceive Qin Niu. Making Qin Niu believe it had not finished refining the Dark Night Gu.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, ‘for every wise man there is one still wiser.’ In the end, Qin Niu had it firmly within his grasp.

“Now you know you were wrong? What were you doing earlier?”

Unmoved, Qin Niu was deliberate in grinding down its pride and arrogance.

The true form of Mirage Insect wasn’t very powerful, and with more and more frigid energy falling upon it, its predicament became even more dangerous. The sensation of being ‘digested’ by the Ancient Banyan Tree was mortifyingly terrifying to it.

“I was wrong, I won’t dare to have these cunning thoughts again. Now that I have two avatars, and given that I am a demon insect, after making a soul contract with you, I can do many tasks for you. As soon as my first avatar regains its strength, whether it’s your human Immortal Masters or demonic beasts, I will be able to handle them all.”

To save its life, the Mirage Insect could only desperately showcase its value.

It couldn’t be sure if Qin Niu was just scaring it or if he actually intended to kill it.

Begging for mercy was the only thing it could do.
