Chapter 427 - Chapter 427: Chapter 419 Battle with the Mirage Insect_1 (2/2)

In the valley, the Mirage Insect, like a roused behemoth, caused Qin Niu to sense that more than ten Poisonous Ants were instantly killed by it.

Its attacks didn’t seem to discriminate; whether it was Qin Niu’s Termite or those hidden-winged insects, anything discovered by it fell within its range of attack.

“Retreat!”

Qin Niu decisively commanded the Termites and Black Spider Gu to retreat from the valley.

The Mirage Insect was too powerful, and the Termites had no resistance against it, dying upon almost any contact.

The dark aura it conjured began to rampage within the valley, with a gigantic insect body wildly devouring any creatures it could attack within the dark mist. Its ferocity made Qin Niu even suspect that whether man or beast, anything entering the valley would be killed and consumed by it.

This insect was too terrifying.

In a very short amount of time, at least over five hundred of Qin Niu’s Poisonous Ants that he had sent into the valley were killed.

The Mirage Insect had a wide range of attack and moved extremely fast. The Termites could only crawl on the ground and couldn’t escape its pursuit.

“Black Spider Gu, escape quickly and stop absorbing the poisonous miasma. There will be other opportunities in the future,” Qin Niu urgently ordered the Black Spider Gu to retreat as he realized the danger and discovered that the Mirage Insect was also taking the opportunity to rapidly consume the poisonous miasma in the valley.

There was no room for negotiation.

He understood the Black Spider Gu’s desire to advance in rank. Faced with the temptation that was right within grasp, not just an insect, even adults with higher intelligence would find it hard to resist.

The death of a batch of Poisonous Ants was indeed painful for Qin Niu, but with the breeding machine that was the Ant Queen, he could quickly breed more Poisonous Ants.

If the Black Spider Gu died, there would be no way to cultivate another one.

This loss was something Qin Niu couldn’t afford.

The Black Spider Gu also sensed the danger and, upon receiving Qin Niu’s command, fled towards his location as fast as it could.

“You guys, attack the Mirage Insect and draw its attention,” Qin Niu made a ruthless decision at this critical juncture.

To sacrifice a part of the Poisonous Ants, using them as cannon fodder, was to buy time for the Black Spider Gu to escape.

It wasn’t because he was cruel, but because the laws of survival in this world were just so.

The Black Spider Gu was more valuable, more precious, so he could only sacrifice the mass-producible Poisonous Ants.

But he discovered it was of no use.

No one knew where the Mirage Insect’s body was actually hidden.

Even if the Termites attacked the dark aura and the gigantic insect body conjured by the Mirage Insect with all their might, it could basically be considered futile.

Other than rapidly increasing the death toll of the Poisonous Ants, it served no purpose.

It couldn’t block that dark aura at all.

“No good, the Mirage Insect seems to have set its sights on the Black Spider Gu,” Qin Niu noticed that the terrifying dark aura was chasing in the direction of the Black Spider Gu’s escape.

Its speed was extremely frightening, and no insect could withstand it.

Within the Valley of Wronged Spirits, the Mirage Insect was like a godly presence.

Its progress was unaffected by any insect.

On its path, be it Termites or Camouflaged Bugs, just being touched by the dark aura meant they were immediately drawn in and then instantly killed.

“Green Ox, attack that dark aura!” Qin Niu was very decisive at this critical moment.

He had to save the Black Spider Gu with all his might and help it safely escape from the Valley of Wronged Spirits.

The Dragon’s Roar Skill of the Green Ox could break through evil barriers, illusions, and demonic sounds; it was considered the bane of the Mirage Insect.

With it taking action, it should be able to stop the Mirage Insect from wreaking havoc.

“Ao—” The Green Ox slightly lifted its neck, emitting a deep and resonant chant.

Unlike the tiger’s roar, its chant was low in pitch and highly penetrating, with an inherent divine quality.
