Chapter 267 - Chapter 267: Chapter 260 Mirror Frog Insect_1 (2/2)

The first reaction is to strike back.

“As soon as an attack is launched, the illusionary monsters created by the Mirror Frog Insect immediately gain energy, thus obtaining real lethality.

“Then how can we break its spell?”

Qin Niu, not understanding, asked.

He was very interested in that strange insect, and given the chance, he wanted to capture it.

But it was useless to capture one that had already recognized another as its master.

“The only way to break the spell is to find its real body and attack that directly. Apart from running fast, the Mirror Frog Insect’s real body has no other abilities. Any Grade Two insect could easily kill it. For an Innate Realm powerhouse like you and me, it’s even more needless to say, a single finger could poke it to death.”

That was easier said than done.

Once they were confused by the illusions it created, everyone would definitely be caught up in tense combat, with no chance to pay attention to it.

And the Mirror Frog Insect surely wasn’t stupid enough to reveal itself and let people discover it.

They ran upstream for about a kilometer and discovered nothing.

“Damnit, we’ve made the wrong judgement again!”

Master He Shan, infuriated, tugged at his beard.

Just now, the enemy had fled upstream, and almost everyone subconsciously believed that the enemy ships were upstream.

But they had fallen into the enemy’s trap again.

Members of the Nine Insect Gang were not only ruthless but also full of cunning tricks.

When dealing with these enemies, one must be extremely vigilant.

Otherwise, one could easily fall for the enemy’s deceit.

The group made their way downstream along the same path they had come from.

To transport a large army across the river, at least a hundred ships would be needed.

If it was a surprise attack, to shorten the time crossing the river, they might even use several hundred ships.

It was most likely that so many ships would be docked by the riverside.

The chance they had gone back to the opposite bank was very slim.

And dragging the ships ashore was even more unlikely.

If the enemy ships were not upstream, it meant they were very likely downstream.

As they proceeded downstream along the river, after less than three kilometers, they encountered a thick river fog ahead, obscuring their view.

“Not this trick again, so annoying!”

Master He Shan, upon seeing the dense river fog, realized their visibility was limited to only three or four meters, and that was with the illumination from torches. Without the torches, in the pitch-black night, they would likely struggle to see even two meters ahead.

Having had a recent bitter experience, each of them felt apprehensive when they now faced the heavy fog, showing fear on their faces.

Becoming an Insect Master was no easy feat.

These individuals held prestigious positions and lived without want, and now facing the threat of death, they would certainly cling to life.

“Last time it was also dense fog, and I set those boats on fire, which quickly dispersed the fog. This river fog is very likely created by the enemy on purpose,” said Qin Niu.

Their enemy was playing a bluff; in reality, there was only one person.

But with the fog as a cover, making it difficult to distinguish the true situation, it would be easy to assume there were many enemies hidden within.

“There is an insect called the Fog Concealing Insect! They live in water or deep mountains, and they love to create fog to hide themselves. These river mists were likely created by them.”

Although afraid, Master He Shan, being the commander, still showed some resolve.

He resolutely led the way into the fog.

Their mission was to burn the enemy ships and cut off the enemy’s escape routes. Then they would wait for Vice City Lord Bai to lead the grand army to eliminate the enemy.

The Insect Masters had two tasks: one was to deal with the enemy s Insect Masters.

The second task was to burn the ships and destroy the paths.

Qin Niu, skilled and daring, followed right behind Master He Shan, charging ahead.

Having learned the hard way last time, after entering the fog it was very easy to lose one’s way and end up going in circles. This time, before he even entered the fog, he had Fourth identify the direction.
