Chapter 268: Chapter 261: Luxurious Enemy Formation i

Even in the black of night, Fourth’s ability to discern direction had not diminished.

He was like a compass one carried with oneself.

A group of people entered the river fog, proceeding along the riverbank.

Splash!

The river suddenly exploded as a giant snake surged out of the water.

It lunged directly at Qin Niu and Master He Shan, striking with an overwhelming fury as water kept dripping from its body.

The threat of death compelled everyone to instinctively draw their weapons, ready to confront the massive serpent.

“It seems fake!”

Qin Niu said.

“No one attack.”

Having suffered greatly from the Mirror Frog Insect’s illusions before, Master He Shan immediately shouted loudly for his personal troops not to attack.

He rode his stout lion at the forefront, shielding the others.

A string of Golden Armored Centipedes had been released by him.

Splash!

The giant snake instantly dissipated.

Indeed, it was fake, an illusion created by the Mirror Frog Insect. If Qin Niu hadn’t seen through it, everyone would surely have combined their forces to attack the serpent that had ambushed them.

The consequences of that would have been unimaginable.

The combined attack energy of so many people would have instantly made the illusion terrifyingly powerful.

Master He Shan released a large number of Golden Armored Centipedes, allowing them to spread out and press forward steadily.

This tactic was quite effective.

The Mirror Frog Insect was particularly afraid of such swarm attacks because its illusions could not simultaneously confuse all the insects.

Thus, the likelihood of exposing its true form greatly increased.

It was easily killed.

It specialized in creating illusions to terrify others, but in reality, it was also afraid of death, even more cowardly than the average insect.

As the group advanced, they could faintly make out by the light of the fires the shadows of moored boats not far off by the riverside.

“Burn those boats, and we will have won. Warriors, give it all you’ve got.”

Master He Shan became excited upon seeing the enemy boats.

But behind him came strange noises as a scorpion larger than a grinding disk quickly emerged from the river fog.

Its long scorpion tail arched high and bent forward above its back.

One could clearly see the joints on the tail, as well as the venomous Poison Stinger at its end.

It was closing in on two personal soldiers at the rear of the group.

“Since when are scorpions this huge? It must be another illusion by that wretched Mirror Frog Insect. Brothers, don’t be fooled, watch me break it.”

The last of the personal soldiers, having been frustrated for so long, was eager to have his moment of glory.

Facing the rapidly approaching giant scorpion, he made no move to defend but instead spit at it.

“Come on, come at me, kill me!”

Spurt!

The giant scorpion reached the soldier, its tail stabbing out swiftly and viciously.

The Poison Stinger pierced the soldier’s armor, boring straight through it.

Its stinger was actually capable of penetrating armor.

Too strong.

“Ah… it’s real, damn it!”

Fear and regret quickly spread across the face of the soldier.

Then, his lips turned black at an alarming speed, and black blood oozed from his mouth where his heart had been pierced by the stinger.

He convulsed and fell to the ground shortly after.

The giant scorpion easily dispatched a Grade One Acquired Realm expert and swiftly moved to attack the other personal soldier.

“You bastard, I’ll kill you!”

The remaining soldier, enraged by his comrade’s death, charged ahead.

He swung his cleaving sword fiercely at the giant scorpion.
