Chapter 441 - Chapter 441: Chapter 433 This Kid is Not Simple_1 (2/2)

Those Golden Armored Centipedes also made their way to the feet of Elder Wu Shanle.

Being bitten by them would definitely result in severe poisoning.

Centipedes are one of the five poisons, and even an ordinary centipede is extremely toxic, let alone these Golden Armored Centipedes that have been cultivated and evolved over a long time.

After the Golden Armored Centipedes reached Elder Wu Shanle, he acted as if he didn’t see them, still focusing on fighting Qin Niu.

At that moment, a Golden Armored Centipede suddenly launched an attack.

It swiftly climbed up Elder Wu Shanle’s leg.

Wu Shanle might look short, but he wore tall battle boots. These were also the kind of boots most people preferred to wear.

Only the farmers who tilled the fields and the woodcutters who went up the mountains would wear straw sandals or short shoes.

Who among those with a bit of status did not wear tall boots?

Even some farmers would wear a pair of tall boots to others’ weddings, birthday feasts, or for important occasions like the New Year when visiting relatives.

Of course, for the average farmer, tall boots were quite expensive, and they definitely could not afford to wear them on a daily basis.

A pair of tall boots could last someone a lifetime.

Those from poorer families might even pass their tall boots to their sons when they grow old.

It could only be said that the lives of the poor were incomprehensible to the rich.

The wealthy might change their tall boots several times a year, whether it’s because new styles came out, or they felt the old ones had become slightly worn, or they’d been worn too many times to important occasions, those could all be reasons to change boots.

The Golden Armored Centipede, more than half a foot long, was incredibly agile. After it climbed onto Elder Wu Shanle’s boot, it quickly started to burrow into Wu Shanle’s boot.

Strangely enough, after the Golden Armored Centipede burrowed inside, there was no further movement.

Elder Wu Shanle went on as if nothing happened, seemingly unaffected.

Master He Shan’s face slightly changed.

“Wu Shanle, what is hiding in your boots? My Golden Armored Centipedes may not be very powerful, but to be able to kill one instantly, it’s not something ordinary that could do this,” he said.

Master He Shan’s cultivation was at the peak of the Innate Realm, just a little shy of the Spirit Qi Realm.

Yet, that slight difference made him lack any confidence in front of a strong practitioner of the Spirit Qi Realm.

The gap of a whole realm could make the combat power between two people vastly different.

Now, in the insect battle, Master He Shan was also falling behind, which was worrying.

“Fool, how could I possibly tell you!” Elder Wu Shanle cursed, his eyes, a murky yellow like those of a toad, shifting back to Qin Niu.

Qin Niu couldn’t help but feel there was something eerie about the old man’s smile, though he couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was.

Large swarms of poisonous midges had reached him, but they were nothing more than food for delivery. No matter how many came, they would just end up as food for the termites.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Niu’s termites had annihilated the majority of the hundred thousand or so poisonous midges.

The rest flapped their wings and fled, not daring to come closer.

Even if they did not dare approach Qin Niu any longer, as long as they were within about twenty or thirty meters, they still could not escape the mental attacks of the termites.

The mental attack range of the Grade Two Puppet Ants and Ghost Ants was about ten meters.

Now, the powerful Puppet Ants had reached Grade Six, like Fourth. The weaker ones were basically Grade Three or Four.

Their effective attack range was generally over twenty meters.

Some of the more powerful ones could even attack targets more than fifty meters away.

The poisonous midges that escaped to beyond twenty meters thought they were safe this time. However, midges continued to be hit by mental attacks and then fell to the ground, struggling in pain.
