Chapter 439: Chapter 431 The Terrifying Buffalo Midges_1
Any discerning person could see that the Nine Insects Gang Leader used a beauty trap, but was the Shennong Sect Leader really that foolish?
Qin Niu felt that there must be some unknown mystery here.
It’s undeniable, the fact that the Nine Insects Gang Leader could make the Shennong Sect Leaderpliantly cooperate with just a sworn sister was indeed a clever tactic.
Qin Niu gazed at the beauty on a red date horse, wielding a longsword. Her figure was graceful and her face was delicate, she did have some charm.
To say she was especially stunning, a beauty that could cause the downfall of a country, would be a far stretch.
At least by Qin Niu’s standards, she was just alright, not as enchanting as Tang Caixian, and even lessparable to Wang Wanyan.
He really didn’t know what Pan Jianjun saw in her.
Logically, with Pan Jianjun’s status and cultivation level, what kind of beauty couldn’t he find?
He could even take a new bride every night without any trouble.
“These Shennong Sect warriors are a bit lousy! If it weren’t for the support of the Nine Insects Gang’s warriors, they would probably have been directly routed.”<div>
Qin Niu scanned the battlefield and held the Shennong Sect’s military strength in slight contempt.
He wondered if it was because they rarely fought,ckingbat experience, or because the Shennong Sect’s people were too ustomed to a rich andfortable life. When they went into battle, they inherentlycked the blood and courage necessary.
As a result, they appeared loose and disarrayed, each either timid and greedy for life, or indecisive, not showing enough bravery or ruthlessness.
On the battlefield, often a misjudgment could cost a life.
Those Shennong Sect warriors, when shing with the enemy and clearly needing to make a decisive move, they hesitated, and thus squandered opportunities. In the end, they were in by the ck Tiger Gang’s warriors.
When it was time to charge into battle, they only shouted but didn’t charge.
Just now, Qin Niu saw a Shennong Sect warrior shing with a ck Tiger Gang warrior, and the Shennong warrior lost his left arm to his opponent’s de. If he had been calm and ruthless enough, he could have taken off the ck Tiger Gang Warrior’s head with one stroke.
But after the Shennong Sect warrior’s arm was cut off, he retreated in panic and ran away.
In the end, he was shot in the back by an arrow from the ck Tiger Gang warrior and fell to the ground.
It must be said, it was truly pathetic.
On the battlefield, the more one fears death, the faster deathes.
“Master He Shan, I think there’s no need for us to bother with the Shennong Sect anymore. After the ck Knights’ sweep, they’ve be like scattered sand, unable to form a proper battle formation for a charge. I estimate it won’t be long before they are defeated one by one, ending in eitherplete annihtion or massive rout.”
Even with limited battlefield experience, Qin Niu could see that the Shennong Sect’s army could no longer make any significant waves.
Master He Shan had far more experience in war and saw things even more clearly.
“Master Qin has an insightful eye, a natural talent for leadership. It truly is a pity that you haven’t chosen to enlist in the military. You should consider bing an officer, I believe you would certainly achieve great things,” said Master He Shan.
His words were not mere pleasantries, but sincere sentiments.
Qin Niu had saved his life, and the two shared a good rtionship. He genuinely hoped Qin Niu would have even better prospects.
“Bing an officer? Forget it. I’m naturally used to being free and unrestrained; I can’t stand those constraints. Being amander requires responsibility in every aspect, I couldn’t even have a femalepanion by my side, dealing daily with military affairs or fighting on the battlefield, that’s not the life I want,” Qin Niu shook his head.
Had he desired to be an official, he needn’t have waited until now.<div>
He still liked living in Shuangfeng Vige, leading the peaceful life of andlord with his wives and concubines.
Raising insects, cultivating medicinal herbs, and then meditating and cultivating—it was far morefortable than the constant scheming of officialdom.
“Everyone has their own way of living, and I can understand that you, Master Qin, lived a carefree youth. Anyway, you’re still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities if you want to enlist as a general in the future,” Master He Shan no longer insisted.
“The Insect Master camp can’t hold on anymore; let’s go and support them!”<div>
“That’s exactly what I wanted.”
Qin Niu watched the Insect Masters of the Nine Insect Gangmand the insect swarm on the battlefield with impunity, causing Chairman Li and others to retreat in defeat. He had been itching to join in.
So many high-grade insects; they were all treasures.
After killing them, they could be used to feed the Ant Queen and the Green Demon Bee; maybe they would help them increase their strength even more.
The Green Demon Bee was by now a Grade Eight demonic bee, with strength so formidable it was astonishing, capable ofbating Spirit Qi Realm warriors. If it were to advance another level and reach Level Nine, then it was likely that a single Green Demon Bee could crush most of the Spirit Qi Realm warriors.
The two immediately went into battle.
“Master He Shan, you old fool,st time you escaped disaster, but today shall be your memorial day!”
A very short old man came flying in, controlling his insects in battle.
This old man had already killed many of the ck Tiger Gang; his insects were a swarm of dark red mosquitoes. There were two types, one somewhat resembling buffalo midges, only muchrger in size. The smallest were the size of half an egg, and thergest were as big as a child’s fist.
They flew at an incredibly fast speed, dodging nimbly in the air.
When they attacked people, they flew in circles, waiting for an opportunity. As soon as they found one, they wouldnd on the exposed skin of the ck Tiger Gang warriors and bite fiercely.
Clearly, their mouthparts were much more powerful than ordinary buffalo midges’. As soon as theynded on an enemy, they could prate the skin instantly, then precisely draw blood. The bitten warriors initially did not react at all,pletely unaware of the bite.
By the time they noticed, the insects had already sucked arge amount of blood, their bellies swollen.<div>
Following that, the bitten warriors would scratch the bite area like mad. Some even threw away their weapons in their desperation to scratch, screaming in agony.
From their reactions, it was clear that the bite of these buffalo midges was unbearably itchy.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have discarded their weapons and continued to scratch until their flesh was torn and blood flowed freely.
Furthermore, wounds bitten by these buffalo midges would not stop bleeding at all.
Qin Niu saw several warriors scratch open their skin at the bite, causing the wounds to erge and bleed even more profusely. Eventually, a warrior would copse to the ground due to unstoppable blood loss.
They likely died of excessive blood loss.
A tiny buffalo midge could be so terrifying; it was no wonder the Insect Masters were feared like tigers.
The very short old man, in addition to the buffalo midges, had another type of mosquito that wasn’t much different from themon poison mosquitoes in the mountains. They were just slightlyrger, about the size of a housefly.
One more thing, this species of poison mosquito was incredibly numerous, swarming densely, with at least several hundred thousand of them.
Although the buffalo midges were frightening, there were fewer of them, probably only around one or two hundred.
And because the buffalo midges wererge, they were easy to spot.
Their defensive abilities seemed to be very poor; Qin Niu saw with his own eyes a Mortal Realm warrior of the ck Tiger Gang smack one dead with a single p.
However, even though the buffalo midge was killed, it had already sessfully bitten the warrior and sucked a fair amount of blood.<div>
When it was killed, all the blood in its belly sttered out, covering the left side of the warrior’s face with blood.
