Volume 2 Chapter 21 Make a dirty move

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

If Mao Laosan were to carefully observe Yan Qiyue’s gaze then he would discover that it had turned incomparably fierce and cold. At present, Shao Qing was giving Mao Laoshan a lit candle. Others didn’t know, but Shao Qing knew clearly. Even though Yan Qiyue was very docile in front of her, his methods of doing things are extremely sinister. He always holds grudges as well. Now that he has offended Yan Qiyue so many times, if he didn’t suffer terribly then Shao Qing will change her last name.

After returning, Shao Qing intentionally told them: “Within the forest, there are a lot of flying bugs like mosquitoes. If it bites a person, it will easily swell up and could even lead to death in the more serious cases. Since we do not have any tents, everyone will have to be extra careful at night.”

Although Mao Laosan didn’t think much of those mosquitoes or flies, knowing that Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue had stayed in the forest for so long and felt the need to say this meant there must be some basis. So he hastily informed his subordinates. Whether or not they listened was another problem.

But would those people listen? Who would believe that a bite from a mosquito could kill someone?

Yet, Shao Qing wanted them to not believe her. During the night time, they left a few people to be on the watch. Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue being special cases, naturally did not need night vigil and slept all the way until daybreak.

The next morning, they were roused awake by a sharp scream. Shao Qing lazily awoke and rubbed her eyes then turned towards the direction of the scream.

It was a young male who currently had a face utterly pale as if he just saw a ghost. At his feet was a person who was lying completely still.

Mao Laosan was kneeling to the side, his expression heavy as he investigated the situation. Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue also walked over. That person lying on the ground appeared as if he was sleeping, but he had already stopped breathing. On his face was a massive swelling that continuously pussed out blood. It seemed like he was bitten by a mosquito but no one had believed it could be a life-threatening injury.

Mao Laosan’s face got more and more unsightly. Taking off the clothes of the person on the ground, he turned it over several times but couldn’t find any other wounds. He had no choice but to admit that the most likely reason was that he got bitten to death by a mosquito.

However, there were so many people around that were also bitten by the mosquitoes. They were all okay, why is it him specifically that died?

Mao Laosan’s face was as black as the bottom of a wok as he sighed: “Bury him.”

Everyone had pale faces as they carried the person to the side and prepared to dig out a place for burial. Mao Laosan stood up and looked towards Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue: “Almost every single of my brothers were bitten, how is it that you two are completely fine?”

Shao Qing had a cold gaze: “Leader Mao, are you suspecting that we did something?”

Not batting an eyelid, Mao Laosan said: “Something bad just happened, I have lost a brother. I just want to investigate what happened.”

Shao Qing coldly laughed: “The forest has mosquitoes and furthermore I had warned you about them. If your people didn’t guard against it properly, why is it our problem?”

“The only reason I’m asking is because you two have stayed in the forest for quite some time and should be more familiar with everything than me. If you were to do something, it would be simple for you guys. But, of course, I am not saying you guys did anything. Just giving an example.” Mao Laosan put on a fake smile. “Now look, the two of you probably didn’t do any tricks. However, the two of you must have some tricks to make the small bugs not approach you guys!”

Yan Qiyue also smiled insincerely: “What a coincidence. So if we don’t get bitten then we have pulled some fancy trick or have some method to resist the bugs. Leader Mao is saying it with such certainty, but how is it that I don’t know anything about it?”

Mao Laosan became gloomy: “If you two don’t want to say it, it’s fine. I won’t force you. I just wasn’t willing to have another brother of mine die for no reason.”

Shao Qing indifferently spoke: “Previously we had encountered a spider that was completely white and was bitten by it. This spider was the predator of many of the insects in the forest. Our blood must have some lingering smell of that spider, so the bugs didn’t come and bite me.”

“So this is the case.” Mao Laosan was a bit disappointed. But, he didn’t know she was just making up some BS story. When did she ever encounter a white spider? Even if she did see one, what kind of spider could get close enough to bite her?

Losing a brother not long after entering the forest, Mao Laosan’s team had an immediate drop in morale. Making a speech, Mao Laosan tried to encourage them before they all went on the road again.

Walking at the very front to ‘guide’ them, Yan Qiyue winked at Shao Qing, his expression showing a tinge of mischief. How could a bite from a mosquito cause someone to die… maybe if there were more than a hundred attacking one person all at once. The person who had made the dirty move behind their back was Yan Qiyue. If someone were to dissect the person who had just died they would discover his internal intestines were completely shattered.

Yan Qiyue had used air to crush his internals while he was still alive.

However Mao Laosan wasn’t suspicious of this at all, so he didn’t ‘penetrate deeply’ into his investigation.

As they continued forward, Shao Qing had already made her move. Dodder seeds have smoothly been planted in several bodies. Now she just had to slowly depose of Mao Laosan’s helpers. She’ll get rid of him last.

It’s not that she is cruel and absolutely insisted on disposing of all his helpers then killing him during his most panic-stricken moment. It’s just that if she didn’t do it this way, then Yan Qiyue and her would definitely get injured.

Of course, Shao Qing was certainly the aforementioned since he was itching to torture him over and over again.

The second person to die came soon after. Because they encountered danger on the second day, Shao Qing concocted the story of a spider. As a result, they actually did encounter a spider that was the size of a fist with its body completely white. The only difference was that its claws was covered in black fur while the web it spat out had remains of bones attached.

Although it was only a portion of it, it was certainly a leg bone. Having humans as its food showed how ruthless this spider was.

Even more dreadful was that when it encountered an enemy, the large spider would in a flash release a pile of scarlet spiders. These scarlet spiders were the same bright colour as blood. From one glance you can tell that they were extremely poisonous.

It was one of Mao Laosan’s subordinates who had discovered it. Going behind a tree to empty his bladder, just as he undid his waistband, his eyes suddenly fell upon a white spider. Before he could even react, the spider had already spat a face full of web on him. Then with a pang of pain on his neck, he couldn’t crawl back up anymore.

Seeing how he still had not returned after a long time, Mao Laosan decided to send some people out to search for him. This was when they saw that person with a dense pack of more than a hundred spiders crawling all over his body. In just a short moment, they had completely devoured him clean, leaving behind only bones.

Frightened by this sight, he turned around to try to run. A pack of spiders began giving chase with their speed alarmingly fast causing the person to scream for his mom while he ran.

Knowing something was wrong when he heard the scream, each and every one of them began to release their powers and ready their weapons, raising their guards.

Seeing the massive pack of white spiders follow behind the man, one youth holding a gun tried firing at them shooting one in the stomach. With a bang, that spider sprayed out green blood. Lying on the ground not moving before he could even celebrate, a group of small red spiders came crawling out of the dead spider’s stomach.

The small red spiders were even faster than the white ones. In a blink of an eye, one of them had already caught up to the running man and bit his ankle. Than man let out a shrill shriek and fell to the ground twitching. The remaining spiders swarmed him and once again sucked another person dry.

Mao Laosan felt a nip of cold air reaching his bone marrows as he bellowed: “Make sure you don’t let those creatures approach you! Fire elemental users advance first!”

One fire elemental user released a firewall first which indeed was effective against this white spider. In fact, it was very effective. As soon as the white spider made contact with the firewall, they were immediately burnt alive causing it to release numerous tiny red spiders. These small spiders were not the tiniest afraid of the firewall. Once released, it ran into the fire wall. “Ka cha ka cha” and in just a second the firewall was unexpectedly eaten up.

The current scene was now very clear. Those white spiders weren’t scary at all. What was terrifying were those tiny red spiders. Yet because of the fire wall, quite a few white spiders have died and released countless small red spiders.

Mao Laosan felt his legs lose strength. He quickly asked Shao Qing: “Haven’t you guys seen these spiders before. What is their weak point?”

For a split second, Shao Qing was stunned. This was because everything she had said before was fabricated. She had actually never seen this kind of spider before!
