Chapter 261 - Chapter 261: Chapter 254 Bloodsucking Locusts 1 (2/2)

Those tiny mosquitoes are truly formidable.

“Just now, a female Insect Master died.”

Qin Niu knew he couldn’t keep this a secret.

There was no need to hide it.

“This, this… She died so quickly!”

Master He Shan’s eyes revealed a look of horror, and when he looked at Qin Niu, there was a significant change.

“While the other disciples of Elder Jiu Yin have not yet reacted, let us hurry to Luoshui Town!”

He did not ask how Qin Niu had managed to take out his opponent.

Master He Shan led his people quickly towards Luoshui Town.

They were not far from the town now.

With no obstacles in their way, everyone made very good progress and arrived at the town in less than the time it takes to eat a meal.

Now, Luoshui Town had become a town of the dead.

Everyone had been killed.

In the darkness of night, the entire town was eerily quiet.

“Let’s go and burn the enemy’s boats first.”

Master He Shan was also a ruthless person.

This was to cut off the enemy’s retreat.

The enemy forces had likely already crossed the Tianshui River and attacked the heartland of the Black Tiger Gang.

It all depended on whether Deputy City Lord Bai was effective.

“Strange, why isn’t there a single enemy?”

“Idiot, the enemy has likely gone to raid other villages and towns by now. Along this road are many major towns with large populations; if they really fall into their hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

“My wife and children are at home; they absolutely cannot fall into the hands of those devils from the Nine Insect Gang.”

The Insect Masters discussed among themselves, many filled with worry.

“Qin Niu, where did the enemy cross the river?”

“Right ahead! If we walk along the river for two or three miles upstream, we will be able to see it.”

Qin Niu led the way ahead.

Master He Shan, concerned about his safety, followed closely beside, staying highly vigilant and ready to react to any enemy at any moment.

“It’s strange that Elder Jiu Yin only sent disciples to guard the roads leading into Luoshui Town; this doesn’t seem like that old fellow’s style. You four, go downstream along the Tianshui River and look for the enemy’s tracks. If you discover the enemy’s moored ships, come back and report immediately.

Remember, do not act rashly.

Elder Jiu Yin is cunning and full of tricks; he won’t let us destroy his boats across the river that easily. You are not his match, and upon discovering the enemy ships, return immediately to report quietly.”

Master He Shan instructed the four guards he had sent out.

Qin Niu led the way ahead.

After traveling more than two miles upstream, they faintly made out large shadows on the river surface.

They could vaguely make out the shape of a large number of boats moored on the river.

“The time has come for us to make a name for ourselves; let’s burn those boats and leave the enemy with no escape.”

Master He Shan’s spirits lifted, and he promptly led everyone forward.

The enemy would definitely have left soldiers to guard it, but in Master He Shan’s eyes, ordinary soldiers were nothing significant.

They could be wiped out easily.

“Be careful!”

In the darkness, row upon row of Bloodsucking Locusts were perched on trees and grass by the river.

The moment Qin Niu and Master He Shan got close, the locusts immediately arched their bodies, leaping towards them.

The stretching ability of these locusts was extremely strong.

When contracted, they were only a little over an inch long, about as thick as a finger.

But when they stretched out their bodies, they could actually reach a length of seven to eight inches.

Keep in mind, an inch is approximately 3.3 centimeters, so seven or eight inches is equivalent to more than twenty centimeters in length.

The three Bloodsucking Locusts leaping towards Qin Niu were still in the air when they simultaneously shuddered and fell to the ground.

Fourth had already led the ant horde to protect their master at the earliest opportunity.

The Red-eyed Golden Toad, having missed out on the corpse of the Grade Six Phantom Jumping Spider and likely starving by now, seized the opportunity. Its long tongue shot out like lightning, pulling a Bloodsucking Locust straight into its mouth.

Such a small Bloodsucking Locust was nothing more than a little snack for it.
