Chapter 361: 354: The Lingering Effect of the Soul-devouring Poison_1



All the previous calculations would have been in vain.

Moreover, knowing the secret of the Ancient Banyan Tree Maze, he would certainly come to investigate once he recovered from his injuries. By then, he could directly seize this natural treasure.

Qin Niu was able to navigate the maze with the guidance of a Termite.

The elder would naturally have other methods to solve the maze.

After much deliberation, he was still undecided.

Should he go out and fight to the death with this elder? He was weighing the risks and chances of victory.

Based on his experience fighting with Elder Jiu Yin, if he went out now, he estimated that he wouldn’t even have a ten percent chance of winning.

The gap between the Innate Realm and the Spirit Qi Realm was an entire major realm apart, with no grounds for comparison.

As Qin Niu hesitated, the elder was stung multiple times by the Dark Poison Ants. The poison seemed to be taking effect within his body.

He staggered as he walked.

Bang!

The elder collapsed to the ground, convulsing, foaming at the mouth, eyes rolling back – it looked like he had been directly taken down by the Termite’s poison.

Instead of going out to kill, Qin Niu held his breath and remained still, not daring to make a move.

He didn’t even dare to make a sound.

Because he was well aware that the Dark Poison Ant’s poison was mainly a mix of coagulants and neurotoxins.

The symptoms after being poisoned didn’t look like this.

Usually, one would feel a constriction in the neck, clutch at it, then collapse on the ground with difficulty breathing, bleeding from all orifices.

Without an antidote, death would follow quickly.

The elder spat foam and his eyes rolled back, body convulsing – it was clearly an imitation of the symptoms of being bitten by other common poisonous insects.

He had only one reason for doing this; he wanted to lure Qin Niu out to kill him.

As soon as Qin Niu showed himself, the elder would immediately counter-attack.

“Master, I can take a group of Poisonous Ants to attack him. As long as I bite him once, I can definitely harm him,” Fourth offered, sensing his master’s anxiety and fear, and volunteered to lead a group of Termites to finish off the elder.

“No. You are one of my most important pets, irreplaceable. Even if you could succeed in injuring him, you’d be instantly killed by his energy armor,” Qin Niu disagreed with Fourth’s offer to fight.

He had deep feelings for the Ant Queen and Fourth. They were Qin Niu’s pets as well as his companions, his foundation when facing various dangers and competitions.

“As long as I bite him and immediately run away, he shouldn’t be able to kill me,” Fourth eagerly wanted to help alleviate his master’s worries.

At this moment, the elder lay on the ground, tongue out, lips askew, white foam continuously spilling out.

I truly admire this elder’s acting skills.

To feign death so convincingly, it’s hard to find a second one like him.

“Fourth, since you want to try, I’ll give you a chance. Remember, the opponent is a Spirit Qi Realm expert, terrifying enough to kill me with ease. If there’s no chance to succeed, you must decisively give up, understand?” Qin Niu instructed Fourth.

At present, there really wasn’t a better way to kill this extremely powerful elder.

Fourth’s poison was completely different from the Dark Poison Ant’s.

His poison could erode the soul, only moderately effective against ordinary people but even more terrifying for the strong.

“Understood!”

With his master’s permission, Fourth felt extremely excited.

Perhaps, it loved taking risks deep in its bones.

If it could help Qin Niu defeat this powerful elder now, it would achieve a great feat.

Perhaps in its simple thought process, being able to help Qin Niu was something very honorable and worthwhile.

“If you can’t succeed, fall to the ground and pretend to be dead to save yourself. You now possess a simple Morphing Ability which, when necessary, can greatly increase your chances of survival.

After success, fall to the ground just the same, then morph to dodge the elder’s killing move,” Qin Niu strategized.

He taught it some life-saving techniques.

After biting someone, if Fourth desperately crawled towards the distance, no matter how fast it crawled, it could never outrun someone from the Spirit Qi Realm.

In the end, it would definitely be caught up to and then killed.

The only chance of survival lay in stirring up confusion; after falling to the ground, it would take advantage of the night and the cover of leaves and branches to hide underground.

Qin Niu noticed the old man lying on the ground looking close to death, his twitching movements considerably weaker.

He really was an old fox.

If it had been a slightly more impulsive young person, they would have taken the bait ages ago.

“Like playing dead? Then taste the biting of termites.”

Qin Niu released two regular termites and directed them towards the old man to attack.

They both stung the old man with their poisonous stingers, then quickly fled.

The old man had no reaction.

He probably knew that Qin Niu had intentionally released the two termites to probe, so he had to keep up the act until the very end.

Otherwise, all his efforts would be in vain.

Qin Niu sneered, and this time directly released nearly three hundred poisonous ants, scattering them towards the old man.

Fourth was also mixed in among them by Qin Niu’s arrangement.

They quickly reached the old man’s location.

“Attack!”

The simultaneous attack of several hundred termites was terrifying.

But the old man himself was a formidable Insect Master, seemingly possessing strong immunity to such ant poison attacks.

Otherwise, he certainly wouldn’t dare allow them to sting his body with their poisons.

Now, both sides were trying to outsmart the other.

The old man hoped to trick Qin Niu into believing his act by playing dead as realistically as possible.

Then, when Qin Niu approached to check the old man’s body and loot any valuables, the old man would suddenly strike, capturing Qin Niu or even killing him on the spot.

Qin Niu’s plan was simpler, just to go along with the old man’s ruse and let Fourth test the effect of the Soul Eroding Poison.

So far, the only person Fourth had killed was Xie Laizi.

This time the target was a practitioner from the Spirit Qi Realm; whether it would succeed was still uncertain.

And it was inherently a great risk.

Possibly facing death at any moment.

Watching the termites climb onto the old man one after another, Qin Niu’s heart was in his throat.

“Attack!”

Fourth, now a Grade Six, had an extremely powerful biting ability, possessing an Advanced Armor Break capability.

It bit through the old man’s skin in one bite.

It quickly injected its venom and then fell off the old man’s body to the ground.

The other poison ants followed suit.

Their purpose in doing so was to cover for Fourth’s safe withdrawal.

The old man still lay motionless on the ground.

Even after being bitten by Fourth, this remained the case.

“Fourth, make a quick getaway.”

Actually, Fourth didn’t need Qin Niu’s reminder; it had already burrowed under the fallen leaves and vanished.

Time slowly passed, and the old man showed no signs of life.

There was no bleeding from his seven orifices, no movement at all.

Qin Niu muttered to himself, wondering if the old man could really be dead.

If the old man wasn’t faking but had truly died, and Qin Niu was still being so cautious, even he would find it funny.
