Chapter 266: Chapter 259: Breaking the Maze_1

Faced with such a strange situation, Qin Niu decided to wait for the right opportunity to make a move.

Sure enough, Master He Shan’s voice rang out once again.

“Qin Niu, be very careful with the few Taiyin Yaoyao you have captured. They can easily escape in this kind of environment.”

This time, Qin Niu didn’t hold back.

He immediately employed the Misty Rain Elusive Step and dashed toward the source of the voice, unleashing a strike with his sword.

The dazzling Blade Qi tore through the mist ahead.

The slash actually had a ripping effect. Although it was not possible to rupture space at present, tearing through the mist in front was quite easy.

The thick mist that blocked the view was instantly torn open, creating a fissure about thirty to forty feet long and three to four meters wide.

With the light of the Blade Qi, Qin Niu caught a glimpse of a white insect that vanished in a flash.

It was very fast.

With a bend of its body, it shot out.

This made him think of the insects Old Master Huang used to control the Red­eyed Golden Toad. Could it be the same kind that responds to sound?

“Fourth, can you lock onto that insect just now?”

Qin Niu communicated with Fourth through spiritual thoughts.

“Yes! It’s right behind.”

Fourth’s sensing ability was extremely powerful. Even before it became a War Demon Ant, it could lead Qin Niu out of the maze inside the Ancient Banyan Tree.

Now that it had evolved into a Grade Four War Demon Ant, its strength was even more formidable, and its sensing ability had also grown stronger.

“Do you have the ability to control it?”

“Can’t control it.”

Fourth’s reply was concise.

“Is it because its level is too high?”

“Don’t know. I tried to control it with spiritual power, but it had no effect, as if there was nothing there.”

After Fourth’s intelligence had increased, it could communicate normally with Qin Niu.

The biggest benefit was that he could pose more complex questions to it.

“Wart Toad, can you deal with that white insect?”

Qin Niu then asked the Grade Seven Red-eyed Golden Toad.

Among all his pets, the Red-eyed Golden Toad had the highest level.

“If it comes near us, we should be able to catch it. Can’t handle it right now.”

The Red-eyed Golden Toad was not omnipotent. When faced with such special enemies, it also felt somewhat helpless.

“You can’t lock onto the insect’s position?”

Qin Niu was somewhat persistent.

The white insect should still be nearby, perhaps it was the storied insect that responds to calls.

If he could just kill or capture it, it would mean breaking one of Nie Kun’s methods of attack.

“Can’t lock onto it.”

The Red-eyed Golden Toad did not possess Fourth’s special abilities.

In terms of perception, it simply couldn’t compare to the War Demon Ant. It was even less capable than an ordinary Termite.

Each pet had its own strengths and weaknesses; none was perfect in every aspect.

“Fourth, where is that white insect now?”

” It’s constantly moving, right now ahead of us.”

“Left or right?” Qin Niu pressed.

“Master, I don’t know what left and right are.”

“This side is left, this side is right.” Qin Niu then took the patience to teach Fourth.

“It’s ahead on the right. It moved again, it’s now behind you, on the left.”

Fourth’s learning ability was decent.

It quickly learned to distinguish left from right.

“Is it far from us?”

“Slightly far.”

“Then wait for it to come near me and pinpoint its exact location.”

Qin Niu gripped the Ink Blade tightly, ready to strike at any moment.

He chose not to stay put, but quickly moved forward.

The enemy’s goal was to defend the ships from being destroyed.

The ships were moored on the riverbank, unable to move. As long as he got closer to the ships, the enemy would expose themselves.

As expected, after Qin Niu had rushed forward about forty to fifty meters, Master He Shan’s voice sounded in his ears once again.

“Qin Niu, hurry and set the enemy ships on fire.”

“Hurry up, we’re trapped.”

Master He Shan’s voice kept coming.

“Master, it’s in the front on the left, very close.”

Fourth reported to Qin Niu.
