Chapter 266: 259: Breaking the Maze_1



Sure enough, Master He Shan’s voice rang out once again.

“Qin Niu, be very careful with the few Taiyin Yaoyao you have captured. They can easily escape in this kind of environment.”

This time, Qin Niu didn’t hold back.

He immediately employed the Misty Rain Elusive Step and dashed toward the source of the voice, unleashing a strike with his sword.

The dazzling Blade Qi tore through the mist ahead.

The slash actually had a ripping effect. Although it was not possible to rupture space at present, tearing through the mist in front was quite easy.

The thick mist that blocked the view was instantly torn open, creating a fissure about thirty to forty feet long and three to four meters wide.

With the light of the Blade Qi, Qin Niu caught a glimpse of a white insect that vanished in a flash.

It was very fast.

With a bend of its body, it shot out.

This made him think of the insects Old Master Huang used to control the Red­eyed Golden Toad. Could it be the same kind that responds to sound?

“Fourth, can you lock onto that insect just now?”

Qin Niu communicated with Fourth through spiritual thoughts.

“Yes! It’s right behind.”

Fourth’s sensing ability was extremely powerful. Even before it became a War Demon Ant, it could lead Qin Niu out of the maze inside the Ancient Banyan Tree.

Now that it had evolved into a Grade Four War Demon Ant, its strength was even more formidable, and its sensing ability had also grown stronger.

“Do you have the ability to control it?”

“Can’t control it.”

Fourth’s reply was concise.

“Is it because its level is too high?”

“Don’t know. I tried to control it with spiritual power, but it had no effect, as if there was nothing there.”

After Fourth’s intelligence had increased, it could communicate normally with Qin Niu.

The biggest benefit was that he could pose more complex questions to it.

“Wart Toad, can you deal with that white insect?”

Qin Niu then asked the Grade Seven Red-eyed Golden Toad.

Among all his pets, the Red-eyed Golden Toad had the highest level.

“If it comes near us, we should be able to catch it. Can’t handle it right now.”

The Red-eyed Golden Toad was not omnipotent. When faced with such special enemies, it also felt somewhat helpless.

“You can’t lock onto the insect’s position?”

Qin Niu was somewhat persistent.

The white insect should still be nearby, perhaps it was the storied insect that responds to calls.

If he could just kill or capture it, it would mean breaking one of Nie Kun’s methods of attack.

“Can’t lock onto it.”

The Red-eyed Golden Toad did not possess Fourth’s special abilities.

In terms of perception, it simply couldn’t compare to the War Demon Ant. It was even less capable than an ordinary Termite.

Each pet had its own strengths and weaknesses; none was perfect in every aspect.

“Fourth, where is that white insect now?”

” It’s constantly moving, right now ahead of us.”

“Left or right?” Qin Niu pressed.

“Master, I don’t know what left and right are.”

“This side is left, this side is right.” Qin Niu then took the patience to teach Fourth.

“It’s ahead on the right. It moved again, it’s now behind you, on the left.”

Fourth’s learning ability was decent.

It quickly learned to distinguish left from right.

“Is it far from us?”

“Slightly far.”

“Then wait for it to come near me and pinpoint its exact location.”

Qin Niu gripped the Ink Blade tightly, ready to strike at any moment.

He chose not to stay put, but quickly moved forward.

The enemy’s goal was to defend the ships from being destroyed.

The ships were moored on the riverbank, unable to move. As long as he got closer to the ships, the enemy would expose themselves.

As expected, after Qin Niu had rushed forward about forty to fifty meters, Master He Shan’s voice sounded in his ears once again.

“Qin Niu, hurry and set the enemy ships on fire.”

“Hurry up, we’re trapped.”

Master He Shan’s voice kept coming.

“Master, it’s in the front on the left, very close.”

Fourth reported to Qin Niu.

Whoosh!

A blade slashed out swiftly.

Compared to last time, Qin Niu had gained some experience.

This time, he specifically sought out that white worm.

After cleaving through the fog, a streak of white emerged, and Qin Niu switched to a sweeping strike.

He nearly sealed off the escape route of the worm.

He didn’t understand those overly sophisticated blade techniques and had only mastered two of the simplest blade skills.

One was a chopping strike, and the other was a sweeping strike.

Pfft!

“Ow…”

A cry of agony rang out, a man’s voice.

It sounded like that of a middle-aged man.

Qin Niu’s sweeping strike failed to hit the white worm but instead cut a man.

More precisely, it severed a man’s arm.

A bloody arm lay on the ground.

The man had gotten in the way to save the white worm and ended up being cut.

The severed arm still trembled non-stop as it lay on the ground.

Blood gushed from the cut wound.

“Fourth, lock onto the enemy’s position and keep reporting back to me,”

Qin Niu was always ruthless when dealing with enemies.

Strike when they’re down and take their lives.

The man who just had an arm chopped off could possibly be Nie Kun, the greatest disciple of Master Jiu Yin.

But the man’s strength seemed very weak!

How could he have had an arm so easily severed?

“I can’t sense it anymore,”

Fourth’s perceptive range was limited; the enemy had vanished so quickly, what method could they have used?

From that brief clash, Qin Niu was certain that the man was at best in the initial stage of the Innate Realm.

How could someone of that level disappear in an instant?

He likely used some special life-saving item.

For example, the Invisibility Talisman that Bei Bing, the mute girl, had given to Qin Niu, which, when used, could make him vanish immediately.

Now that the enemy had run away, the first step was to burn the enemy’s ships.

He hurried forward at an extremely fast pace, but due to the heavy fog, he could see no one else.

However, he could hear the sounds of combat.

After running forward for a while, Qin Niu noticed something was off.

Because he saw that severed arm again.

It indicated that he might have entered one of the enemy’s mazes. He had run in a circle and ended up back at the starting point.

He was trapped by the enemy.

“Fourth, do you have a way to discern the direction?”

When it came to breaking mazes, Fourth was the most skilled.

“Yes.”

This time, Fourth answered with extreme confidence.

“Where is the direction we came from?”

“It’s to the front on the left-hand side.”

“I’m now moving toward the back, you guide the way. I’ll just watch your antennae,”

Qin Niu asked Fourth to guide him.

There was no other way as he couldn’t find his way out in the fog.

Under normal circumstances, the ships would be just two to three hundred meters ahead by the riverside. But now, these two to three hundred meters had become an insurmountable gap.

If he couldn’t break the maze, he would still be wandering in circles until dawn.

With Fourth guiding him, Qin Niu didn’t get lost again, and in a short time, he arrived at the riverbank beside the ships.

No one attacked him again on this path.

Only some bloodsucking leeches would occasionally jump out to meet their death.

Qin Niu could vaguely see several ships moored at the riverbank, but the area behind them was empty.

“It’s impossible that there are only these few ships, it seems I’ve been deceived.”

But having found the enemy ships, he was certainly not going to be polite.

He set them on fire with a toss of his torch.

Suddenly, flames soared to the sky, and the fog gradually dissipated.

Master He Shan and the surviving personal guards gradually appeared, each one of them looking extremely bedraggled.

They were either fighting each other or, like Qin Niu, had been trapped there going around in circles.
