Chapter 355 Insidious Means
Chapter 355 Insidious Means
(From MC's Perspective)
I checked my spoils after finding the safe spot. Apart from that first fellow, the rest of the special trainee warriors didn't have much in their storage ring. Which left me with disappointment.
"Sigh."
Anyway, at least I'm able to learn the latest news from their mouth. I feel it's time to make a decision about it. I can't let go of such an opportunity. In particular, the Hansen campus nowadays has become stingy when it comes to resources.
If I had enough money in my own hands, I could go around auction houses to buy resources. I knew Mr. Jonathan was taking care of me secretly. So there is no way to do things passively. Now, It's a golden opportunity to make money.
A small smile rose on my lips as I made my decision.
Then immediately, I began to look out for bandit groups through my perception. I also marked my previous routes on maps.
If I go back to the location where I found the small wooden house, there is a good opportunity to come across another team.
Time flies in the blink of an eye.
One hour later,
I stroll towards the small wooden house after searching other areas. Suddenly, a few red dots appeared in my perception.
Seeing that, my eyes lit up with surprise. I never thought that I would encounter a bandit team this soon. But the trick here is that none of them were weak. The leader is a mid-trainee warrior, and the other four members are initial-trainee warriors.
It's a strong team. My expression turned solemn. I quickly need to formalise a strategy to counter them. My brain springs into action. I need to make at least two of the bandits immobile before fighting them head on.
Then I quickly thought of a solution. It's a very dangerous option, but I think it's needed now. In my looted collection, there were some sealed herbs that I had collected from other bandit groups.
I don't know the exact name of the herb. But I heard some information from bandits.These specific sealed herbs are the favourite food of insect bugs. If the seal is removed, it will soon attract nearby bugs from the surrounding regions.
I gulped my saliva.
I knew my thoughts were quite insidious. But those bandits were way more cunning than me. I had never seen anyone fighting righteously before. These bandits always use insidious means to kill the warriors.
Like luring opponents to poisonous traps or attracting insects from nearby areas.
So I'm just going to give them a taste of their own medicine.
After making up my mind, I take out the sealed herbs from the storage ring. These bandits are conversing with each other. Once they step inside the wooden house, I will immediately use it.
? Time flies,
The bandit leader seems to be tired after talking for about 15 minutes. He quickly entered the room, followed by four other warriors.
"Phew!" I breathed in relief. I almost thought these bandits would spend the entire day talking.
My pupils constrict as I stare at the slidy red box in my hands.I almost forgot about one important thing. I need to make sure not to touch the herb with my bare hands.
Otherwise, it won't be easy to erase the herb scent. Then my eyes fixed on the wooden house. After making sure no one was at the entrance, I swiftly rushed towards the entrance without making a noise.
I also looked at the window to see whether anyone was peeping from inside. Seeing that no one was standing near the window, I swiftly moved. After walking past the entrance gate, I walked up to the door.
But I need to use wooden stairs before reaching the door knob.
Having no other choice, I put the red wooden box on the wooden step slowly. After taking a long breath, I removed the cover swiftly before walking away from the place.
Within minutes, I arrived at the previous spot. My heartbeat rate increased slightly. Fortunately, these bandits were chatting inside. If any of them showed some caution, then it wouldn't be possible to reach the wooden house.
Then I sniffed my palms carefully to see whether there was any scent on them or not.
Time flies in the blink of an eye.
15 minutes later,
I have been using my perception to look out for my surroundings. But so far, there is no sign of insect bugs. I feel that it will be a matter of time before the scent is sniffed by some bugs.
BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ.
Immediately, red clouds appeared in my mind. Yes, it's red clouds, no doubt. It must be a swarm of bugs coming from the north direction. When I patiently waited for insect bugs to come here,
BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ.
"What the f**k?" My heart skips a beat. Suddenly, a new wave of red clouds coming from the east appeared in my mind. Seeing that, I immediately gulped my saliva.
Is this some kind of joke or what? This herb is too OP. It quickly attracted two groups of insect bugs. Now I thought about my own safety for a moment. I realise that, again, I'm relying on Mr. Jonathan's help to save my life.
I felt a little disappointed in myself.
Next time, I should not bring out this deadly herb openly. Instead, I should set up a trap and wait for the bandits.
When the sound became louder, "Creak," one of the bandits, walked out of the house to check the surroundings.
At this time, two separate groups of insects had already arrived above the small wooden house. These insects seem to find the location of the herb.
But the poor guy was standing near the stairs.
Next, I would never forget his reaction in my life. That bandit warrior was horrified by the sight of an army of insect bugs. His expression becomes pale with fright.
Soon, I saw another silhouette walking out of the house. When he spotted the insect bugs, his expression was nothing different from his usual. But unlike the first bandit, he quickly tries to flee.
When he walks down from the staircase, He accidentally stepped on the herb.
Seeing that, my heart skips a beat. This is not at all in my script.
"Hiss": This guy is dead now.
As I expected the two groups of insect bugs begin to act.
BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ.
Hearing that buzzing sound is getting louder. I knew the bugs were completely enraged. Fortunately, these bugs were just regular poisonous bugs. It will take time for their venom to act on the enemy.
If it were a certain deadly kind (carnivore), they would be reduced to bones within a minute.
The fleeing bandit was quickly swallowed up by the army of bugs. The second wave of the bugs quickly dashed to the other warriors.
I got goosebumps all over my body. I knew what it would be like in the aftermath of this. It's impossible to escape from a swarm of bugs.
On top of that, getting stung by all of the deadly bugs. Then the venom will quickly spread all over the bandit's body. It will be a matter of time before he loses his life.
While all this was going on, I heard no sound from the other three warriors, including the bandit leader.
I muttered, "Good guy."
The other three bandits must have noticed the situation. So they didn't walk out of the house, in order not to expose themselves.
But I smiled. All I wanted was to remove at least two warriors from the group. so that I can take care of the other three.
Suddenly, there is a new development.
One part of an army of bugs quickly flew inside the house.
"AAHHHHHHH," someone screamed out loud from the house.
It looks like these insect bugs will take care of everything. I just need to collect their heads in the end. A small smile rose on my face. This method seems deadly and vicious, but it's extremely effective in the end.
I continued to watch the horrific scene in front of me. A peculiar scene caught my attention. None of the insect bugs went forward towards the herbs.
Don't tell me these insect groups will fight against each other in the end? A hint of doubt rose in my heart. But it will help me further to understand these insect bugs.
Those two bandits became completely immobile. After taking care of them, the entire group flew towards the house. My heartbeats rise further.
10 minutes later,
Two clouds of insects flew out of the house and quickly came over to swarm the small herbs. I don't know what happened to the leader. His head value is more important than others. There is no sound of screaming either.
Then I patiently waited for these insect bugs to move away from the spot.
Surprisingly, these bugs didn't fight against each other. After consuming the entire herb, two groups immediately flew away in different directions.
I breathed in relief. I almost thought these things would find me. Fortunately, I didn't let the scent attach to me.
