Chapter 259: Chapter 252 Blood Repository Mosquito and Phantom Jumping Spider_i

“Talking about it is simple, it’s about using multiple bugs to form an army formation. Just like how our human armies deploy troops and formations on the battlefield. However, utilizing insect formations is much more enigmatic and unpredictable. To give the simplest example, a combination of ground-crawling poisonous bugs and flying insects can create a basic insect formation. The ground bugs take the lead in attacking, while the flying insects are responsible for distracting the enemy’s attention.”

Master He Shan gave a general introduction to the insect formation.

Qin Niu had firsthand experience in his fight with Old Master Huang, witnessing the power of combining two or more different kinds of bugs in an attack.

So this was the insect formation.

“Master He, what do we do now?”

A guard asked for instructions.

They clustered around He Shan, each one on high alert.

“Where is the scout team?”

“Here at your command!”

A scout team of more than ten members stepped forward.

“Reconnaissance!”

Master He Shan stared ahead and uttered two chilling words.

The thirteen members of the scout team rapidly assumed a fan formation as they moved forward, releasing their respective bugs to scout the situation ahead.

Some released ground-crawling spiders, mole crickets, scorpions, and weevils, while others released flying moths and fireflies. Qin Niu even spotted a steel-winged wild bee.

But now these insects had been tamed and cultivated by the insect masters.

Since it was night, many insects were unable to see in the dark.

Moths were one of the few flying insects that possessed night vision.

These insect masters, chosen for the scout team, were all skilled.

Having them conduct nighttime reconnaissance would prove very effective.

However, after they sent out their insects, they disappeared without a trace, without any response.

And they did not return.

Shortly after, a member of the scout team began to shudder violently and let out a muffled groan.

One by one, several people turned pale and frequently let out pained noises.

This indicated that the bugs they had sent out had probably encountered misfortune.

“Master He, the situation ahead is unclear, our bugs sent to scout the enemy have all been harmed.”

“You all rest first.”

Master He Shan’s face was composed, and he didn’t get angry due to the failure of his subordinates’ reconnaissance.

After a while, he extended his right hand, palm facing up, at chest level.

Qin Niu was puzzled when he saw Master He Shan take off a bamboo tube from his waist with his left hand and open the lid.

“Buddy, you’ve worked hard, get inside!”

He said to his palm.

Qin Niu, squinting in the light of the torches, finally noticed several tiny black dots on the palm of Master He Shan’s right hand.

They were fleas.

He hadn’t expected that the most inconspicuous little bugs would be the key to Master He Shan discovering the enemy’s situation.

The size of fleas was even smaller than a sesame seed, hard to see in daylight, let alone at night.

This made Qin Niu realize that every insect has its unique abilities and uses.

“We’ll go around from that side.”

Master He Shan had already spurred his majestic lion steed and was quickly heading towards a small path to the left.

There were many roads to Luoshui Town.

There’s no need to stick to the main road.

Qin Niu followed closely behind Master He Shan, experiencing his first real battle.

An invisible sense of danger loomed over the entire battlefield at all times.

This made him both nervous and a little excited.

Perhaps every man is a beast, facing the test of blood and fire, what ignites is the frenzy of war.

The real cowards who shrink back are very few.

“Be careful! There’s an ambush here too!”

Master He Shan alerted everyone.
