Chapter 268 - The ocean of bugs

“Holy crap!” Taisi huddled up on the back of the black tiger, with his face turned completely blue, tightly holding his own knees with his arms.

Feng Xing looked nowhere better than Taisi, randomly, he couldn’t help but rub his own body hard with his hands, trying to wipe those cold sweat that was gushing out of his palms. It also seemed like as if his palms were extremely dirty and he was so eager to wipe them clean.

Shaosi and Man Man were looking similar; their faces were turned slightly pale while staring right at those bugs. The two girls tightly leaned against each other and were slightly shivering their bodies.

Only Yu Mu, had a few drops of drools flowing out from the corners of his mouth while his eyes were slightly shining. He was greedily staring at those bugs outside of the water shield, while murmuring in a low yet quite creepy voice to the others, “Wow, so chubby, this scorpion is so chubby, why I want to eat it so much, oh I am now dying to taste it! Looking so delicious!”

Ji Hao felt his scalp going numb and that all of his hair were standing straight up. Even with his experiences and spiritual power, he too was frightened by those bugs outside of the water shield, so much that even his body couldn’t move smoothly.

In the Southern Wasteland, almost every clan had a few Maguspriests who particularly studied bugs manipulating magic, and all kinds of poisonous bugs fostering skills. These Maguspriests were all master at killing people with poisonous bugs. Ji Hao had seen ocean-like groups of bugs before, during a fight between the Gold Crow Clan and other clans.

But the poisonous bug magic used by Ginger was violent, evil, disgusting and fierce, to a certain unbelievable point.

All these different sized and multicoloured bugs gathered together, were lying upon each other’s bodies, squeezing each other, wrapping their legs altogether, and their wings overlapping. Those worms, without legs and wings, tightly coiled around each other without a single gap between them, not even a hair could be inserted in between this horrible ocean of bugs.

The area with a radius of over ten miles, which was surrounded by mountains and only two valleys lying across it, was filled with a three-hundred zhang thick layer of bug.

Thick and solid, not even water would be able to flow inside.

The water shield had given Ji Hao and his friends some space. Outside the water shield was a deadly world of bugs; all kinds of mad poisonous bugs crowded together, rubbing each other and letting out crazily horrible noises. At the first glance, your eyesight would be immediately filled with all kinds of squirming bugs, and broken bodies parts of bugs, wings, legs, bellies, internal organs, and disgusting, stinky liquid that had been squeezed out of these bugs.

The jaws of these bugs remained open while they were screaming and squirming madly. All of these bugs had poisonous glands in either their jaws or tails, out of which venoms of various vivid colours were ceaselessly spurting out, while emitting a hell-like stinking smell. All kinds of rotting and stinking smells were mixed together, giving a scent that was beyond description.

If it had been for the protection of the water shield, the venom would pour into their bodies. Ji Hao thought that even though his body was more solid than the body of ordinary Senior Magi, he too would corrode within the span of few breathes if he was affected by those venoms.

Luckily, they had the water shield, and even more fortunately, Man Man’s father had given her such a powerful treasure, otherwise none of them even dared to imagine what the outcome could be.

The army led by those Yu Clan’s young man weren’t as lucky as Ji Hao’s squat. Those egg bugs, which didn’t have any sign of life, suddenly flew out from underground, and countless bugs hatched within a single second, piling up layer upon layer, directly burying them.

The slave warriors, who were poorly dressed with only leather armours, or in some cases only flax clothes, only let out a few howls before their bodies had been torn apart by those bugs. Countless bugs drilled into their skins and madly devoured their flesh, blood, internal organs and bones.

The sticky venom spread on their bodies, rapidly corrupting their bones and weapons. Within only a few seconds, all the slave warriors and slaves had been devoured by those bugs, without leaving even a hair.
