Chapter 270 - Chapter 270: Chapter 623 Achievements Fulfilled, Retire from the Scene 1 (2/2)

“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..
