Chapter 267: Chapter 260 Mirror Frog Insect_1
Insect Masters’ charm lies precisely in this: a single person can become an
army.
If it hadn’t been for Qin Niu setting fire to those few ships, causing the mist to dissipate, who would have thought that there was actually only one enemy here?
If I’m not mistaken, the enemy stationed here is Nie Kun alone.
“What a clever tactic!”
Master He Shan swung his sword repeatedly, slashing at an afterimage.
The afterimage, however, swiftly fled to a distant place.
It wasn’t large; it looked like an eye-shaped frog, adept at leaping, its speed almost on par with the fabled Grade Seven Taiyin Yaoyao.
In the blink of an eye, the eye-shaped insect had vanished without a trace.
What kind of monster was this?
This time, Qin Niu truly opened his eyes.
He had seen all sorts of strange insects.
“Damn it, to be toyed with by a Mirror Frog Insect, next time I encounter it, I must kill it,” raged Master He Shan, cursing the fleeing shadow.
Qin Niu listened and chuckled to himself, wondering what loss Master He Shan had suffered, appearing so infuriated and embarrassed.
At this moment, Master He Shan was sweating profusely, his helmet had fallen off, looking quite disheveled.
“Qin Niu, are these your boats?”
Master He Shan immediately spotted Qin Niu standing by the riverbank.
“They are! But there are only a few boats here, we might have been deceived. The enemy is cunning; they may have stopped the boats somewhere else.”
Qin Niu looked at the burning ships and said.
“Let’s go upriver and take a look.”
Master He Shan quickly made a decision.
Qin Niu followed, and the other guards looked at him with respect.
Even the dullest understood that Qin Niu had just driven off the enemy, saving them all.
“Master He, was that Mirror Frog Insect actually an insect?”
“It’s a very rare type of insect, if it can even be accurately classified as such.
They are kind of insect but not really.”
“Is it very powerful then?”
“Its greatest skill is to create some very realistic and frightening illusions. The stronger you are, the stronger the enemy it conjures. Even in broad daylight, one can easily fall for its trick. If one cannot see through the falsehood that its created enemies are mere illusions, they’ll end up fighting endlessly against these phantom foes. When exhausted to the point of collapse, the Mirror Frog Insect will consume their brain juices.
They specialize in sucking the brain juices of animals.
Especially those of humans and simians, which possess high intelligence, are their favorites.”
As Master He Shan rode the lion, he spoke of the Mirror Frog Insect’s tactics.
“Do the illusions it creates have any lethality?”
“They have no lethality on their own. However, once you attack, that illusion gains lethality. It’s like always fighting against yourself. Each attack you deliver becomes the actual attack power of the illusion.”
“In that case, to deal with this thing, one simply needs not to strike.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Niu clicked his tongue in wonder.
There are countless creatures in the world, and strange ones continue to emerge incessantly.
There’s a saying that goes well: what exists is justified.
The existence of these Mirror Frog Insects indicates they certainly have survival capabilities.
“Heh, you make it sound so simple. When faced with an enemy attack, it s impossible to remain indifferent. The Mirror Frog Insect precisely capitalizes on the animal’s instinctual fear, which is why it has garnered such immense notoriety.”
Master He Shan shook his head with a wry smile.
Faced with a sudden enemy attack, I believe no one would just stand there
hands tied.
