Anyway, with the strength of his insect pets now, Qin Niu figured that aside from the Gang Leader, there probably wouldn’t be a second person in the Nine Insects Gang daring to target him.

“You’ve trained the ‘Ascending Cloud Ladder’ to this level; truly not an easy feat. However, you still can’t escape death,”

the Nine Insects Gang Leader’s voice carried a trace of solemnity.

The face hidden under the black hood must also be filled with severity.

It seemed she was about to use the third move of the Falling Moon Sword Technique.

Or perhaps continue using the second move because it was very practical. Even the Black Tiger Gang Leader couldn’t stop it despite his full effort.

When Gongsun Jin landed back on the ground, his face was pale, and without a word, he quickly fled into the distance.

But he had only escaped a few steps when he was stopped by the Golden Silkworms.

These Golden Silkworms seemed to appear out of thin air, materializing in front of Gongsun Jin.

They looked like very ordinary little insects, but Gongsun Jin was extremely wary of them.

Keep in mind, Gongsun Jin himself was a Spirit Qi Realm powerhouse; not to mention ordinary insects, even Grade Seven insects he could easily kill.

“Brother Qin Niu, help me deal with these insects!”

Gongsun Jin was too bashful to cry for help, so instead, he elegantly asked Qin Niu for assistance against the insects.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Do these fireflies have any special characteristics?”

Qin Niu dared not rashly reach out to save him.

In helping others, one must first ensure they have the strength to do so.

“They are one of the witch’s two great insect pets, known as the Ghost Messengers. Once touched by the ghost flame on their bodies, one would immediately suffer the agony of a soul burning.”

Gongsun Jin mentioned the fireflies with great fear.

Physical attacks are at most painful to the flesh and are visible to the eye.

But Mental Attacks, soul corrosion, and soul-burning offensive methods are truly indefensible.

“Did these fireflies just appear out of nowhere, can they turn invisible?”

Qin Niu was neither arrogant nor reckless.

The Nine Insects Gang Leader was a master insect-tamer, and even the already revealed Tyrant Demon Spider was terrifying, reaching the rank of an insect demon. Could those fireflies, as one of her two great insect pets, be any weaker?

“In the darkness of the night, these fireflies might be able to turn invisible. Now in broad daylight, they shouldn’t be able to. I’m also puzzled as to why they suddenly emerged from the air,”

said Gongsun Jin, constantly moving his judge’s pen to prevent the Golden Silkworms from getting close.

But his attacks were not very effective.

Because he didn’t dare to touch the fireflies at all.

Even with a weapon, he dared not make contact with those insects.

“Can’t these fireflies be killed?”

Qin Niu caught the hint and inquired further.

“I’ve only heard that they will self-destruct. If hit by a weapon, they will immediately self-destruct. Even if smeared with a bit of the Soul Devouring Nether Flame on their bodies, it will ignite the soul. You can use insects to deal with them, but you must never get close to these fireflies. Not even a protective air armor can necessarily block the Soul Devouring Nether Flame on them,”

cautioned Gongsun Jin.

Just a firefly, yet so terrifying. No wonder Gongsun Jin, a mighty Spirit Qi Realm powerhouse, immediately retreated in fear upon detecting those fireflies, not daring to have any contact with them.

Qin Niu observed the fireflies carefully, each one plump with a full abdomen, looking rather chubby.

At the end of their abdomens, a faint ghostly light continuously twinkled.

At first glance, it didn’t seem much different from the glow emitted by ordinary fireflies.

“Let’s send a Green Ring Worker Bee to test,”

said Qin Niu. Among his flying insect pets, which were abundant and easy to breed, there were only two types.

One was the honeybee, and the other was the Shadow Fire Bee.

If talking about the cheapest, it was the honeybee.

The reproduction of the Shadow Fire Bees wasn’t as easy as imagined. Furthermore, to make them fight, Qin Niu could not directly command them but had to do so through the Queen Bee.

The Green Ring Worker Bee’s flying speed was quite fast, while the fireflies’ speed was slower; it should be easy to catch up with one of the fireflies.

However, this Green Ring Worker Bee most likely wouldn’t come back alive.

The Green Ring Worker Bee flew out of Qin Niu’s Insect Bag and quickly flew towards a firefly.

At that moment, the Nine Insects Gang Leader had already initiated the second move again.

Still four Sword Qi strikes, three of which were once again blocked by the Black Tiger Gang Leader and his pet tiger, leaving the remaining one slashing towards Gongsun Jin.

At this moment, Gongsun Jin was clearly much more passive.

He could not escape.

Behind him were all fireflies, any one of which could kill him, a strong Spirit Qi Realm expert.

In front was the Sword Qi cut by the Nine Insects Gang Leader.

He was preparing to repeat his old trick, trying once more to use the “Climbing The Clouds Ladder” to rush into the sky to dodge this dreadful Sword Qi.

But there were fireflies appearing above his head too, scaring him from daring to evade upward anymore.

Otherwise, if he bumped into them, that would be a tragedy.

With no other choice, Gongsun Jin had to wave his Judge’s Pen to block the attacking Sword Qi with all his might.

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of explosions sounded, Gongsun Jin’s robes were completely tattered, looking like a beggar’s outfit, with streaks of blood on his face and blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

He was also staggering, extremely disheveled.

He had caught that Sword Qi strike, but he had sustained serious injuries.

“Brother Qin Niu, hurry up!”

Gongsun Jin’s voice was sharp, already carrying a hint of crying.

Of course, at his level, crying like a woman was out of the question.

But facing the threat of death, his heart was undoubtedly in a panic.

“I can only do my best; please don’t place all your hopes on me.”

Qin Niu did not dare to make such a guarantee.

The Green Ring Worker Bees he sent out had already flown behind a firefly, directly attacking it.

Half a foot away from the firefly, his Green Ring Worker Bee silently tumbled from the air to the ground.

Before it even hit the ground, the Green Ring Worker Bee was dead.

“Such a powerful firefly! Could these fireflies also have Mental Attacks?”

Qin Niu’s Termite had both Ghost Ants and Puppet Ants.

One kind could perform Spirit Control and the other kind could perform Mental Attacks.

So, Qin Niu’s first thought was whether these fireflies also possessed such attack methods.

His Green Ring Worker Bee did not even come into contact with the opponent and was directly killed; what else could it be besides a Mental Attack?

“Fourth, take the ant swarm and attack one of the fireflies to test it.”

Qin Niu approached one of the fireflies, allowing the Termite to launch a Mental Attack.

Surprisingly, Fourth easily succeeded.

The firefly immediately obediently flew towards Qin Niu.

This indicated that Mental Attacks were effective against them.

Once it flew close, Qin Niu carefully observed this firefly and could see black patterns on its body, forming two strange runes.

To be precise, there were at least three strange runes on it.

Because there seemed to be patterns on its head as well, but since its head was so small, Qin Niu did not dare to get closer to observe.

From two meters away, he could only see some blurry patterns.

“Go!”

Qin Niu sent another Green Ring Worker Bee towards the controlled firefly.

Only to see the Green Ring Worker Bee flying to about half a foot from it, the same scenario played out, silently falling from the sky.

Keep in mind, this firefly was already under the control of Fourth.

It definitely couldn’t have launched an attack against Qin Niu’s Green Ring Worker Bee on its own, yet the second Green Ring Worker Bee was still killed. This indicated that the fireflies possessed a natural automatic defense mechanism.

Because this time it was much closer, Qin Niu saw more clearly that before the Green Ring Worker Bee fell, its head had emitted a faint ghostly light.

Could it be that the death of the Green Ring Worker Bee was not due to a Mental Attack, but it was hit by the firefly’s Soul Devouring Nether Flame?

That was very likely the case.

It approached within half a foot of the firefly, its faint spirit ignited, which was the true cause of its sudden death.
