Chapter 299: Using the Same Move Again

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A scarlet insect fog surged out of the ground like a well blowout and almost instantly occupied Wang Xiao’s entire vision.

At this moment, Wang Xiao finally understood why Lang Lina would tirelessly release the insect fog over and over again.

This was because that was only a cover. His true goal was to create a diversion and use a large amount of insect fog as cover to secretly send another group of flying insects to infiltrate the vicinity of Wang Xiao and the others.

If not for Wang Xiao reacting at the last moment, he would probably have already fallen for it. However, even though he had seen through Lang Lina’s scheme, he still fell into a passive state.

As he pondered, Wang Xiao had already landed on the ground again. Everything he could see was filled with the scarlet insect fog. He did not know what the situation was on Zhou Xiruo’s side, but he thought that it should be similar to his.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao immediately felt a little troubled because he could not see Zhou Xiruo’s exact location. If he rashly used a fire-element attack to clear the insect fog, it would most likely affect Zhou Xiruo.

In this moment of hesitation, dozens of flying insects had already landed on Wang Xiao’s body. Immediately after, there was a strong biting feeling!

Actually, it was not painful to be bitten by this kind of flying insect. In fact, it was a little comfortable. However, this feeling appeared too suddenly. Wang Xiao was caught off guard and was shocked. He immediately subconsciously exclaimed.

The exclamation was still echoing in the air when a cold light suddenly flashed in the depths of the insect fog!

“Oh no!”

Wang Xiao’s expression changed and he hurriedly burrowed into the ground. Then, he felt something flash past from above. If not for his fast reaction and the fact that he happened to see a cold light shining, he would definitely have been hit by it now!

A lingering fear surged in his heart. At the same time, Wang Xiao also had a further understanding of the Lang brothers’ tricks.

According to the current situation, Lang Lina’s insect fog should be able to block their vision. Just like the black cloth in the magician’s hand, it could hide all their small actions while concealing their opponents.

From the looks of it, the strength of the Lang brothers should not be so high. After all, true experts disdained these mysterious methods. n(-o.(V).e(-l(-b.)1//n

Just as he thought of this, Wang Xiao suddenly felt a gust of evil wind. He almost subconsciously turned his body. Immediately after, a cold light flashed past him and a burning pain immediately came from his shoulder!

The pain this time was tens of thousands of times stronger than the bite of the flying insects. However, Wang Xiao still endured it and did not make a sound. After quickly shifting his position, he looked down and realized that a palm-sized piece of skin had been cut off from his shoulder. Fortunately, his muscles were not injured.

Wang Xiao took out a [Healing Potion] and drank it. He frowned in confusion. He clearly did not say anything just now. How did the other party know his location?

Moreover, that attack just now was very precise. If not for Wang Xiao’s sharp senses sensing the danger, he would have probably been split into two!

“Could it be...

Looking at the few little bugs that landed on his body, Wang Xiao suddenly had an idea.

This insect fog was Lang Lina’s soldiers. By using the connection between the soldiers and the lord, he might also be able to locate them!

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao’s expression instantly turned ugly. He was not worried about himself, but about Zhou Xiruo’s current situation.

“Zhou Xiruo!”

Wang Xiao shouted. At the same time, he slid half a step to the side and changed his position. Almost at the same time, a cold light flashed past his previous position.

There was no time to be afraid. Wang Xiao had to find Zhou Xiruo as soon as possible and meet her. However, after shouting a few times, he still did not hear any reply from Zhou Xiruo. Wang Xiao’s heart also sank.

The range of the [Challenge Arena] was only so large. It was impossible for Zhou Xiruo not to hear it. Until now, there was still no response. There was a high chance that something had happened!

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao immediately opened the interface to check the [vassal contract]. He heaved a sigh of relief when he discovered that there was nothing unusual. However, he had to think of a way to deal with this insect fog as soon as possible. Otherwise, something would happen sooner or later!

After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiao changed his position again and shouted, “Xiruo! Lie on the ground and don’t move!”

As he spoke, Wang Xiao slipped and fell to the ground. Then, the Blazing Golden Crow let out a cry and the Burning Death Wind that burned everything descended again!

Flames flashed, and more than half of the insect fog that covered the sky was instantly burned. Although Wang Xiao deliberately made the Blazing Golden Crow increase the angle of its attack, the heat wave of the flames still roasted the ground like a red-hot iron plate!

Wang Xiao raised his head against the heat wave and immediately saw Zhou Xiruo lying five to six meters away. There was a ferocious wound on her right shoulder, and almost half of her shirt was already dyed red with blood!

However, at this moment, Zhou Xiruo was still awake, so Wang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. Then, with a thought, he summoned the [Gold Armor Black Turtle] from the territory.

A huge Gold Armor Black Turtle appeared out of thin air and instantly blocked Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo under its body.

Although its [Absolute Defense] could not be shared with the two lords, this mountain-like huge body was already the best defense for the two of them.

After making the arrangements, Wang Xiao crawled to Zhou Xiruo’s side and took out a [Healing Potion] to feed her. “How is it? Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. It’s just a superficial wound.”

Zhou Xiruo smiled sweetly with a relaxed expression. However, because she had lost too much blood, her lips had already begun to turn pale.

Wang Xiao’s heart ached when he saw this. He said with a serious expression, “Go and take care of the injured. The defense field of the [Protection Ring] is enough to protect the two of you.. ”

“No need, I’m really fine!”

Zhou Xiruo shook her head and tried her best to sit up from the ground. “I feel much better after drinking the [Healing Potion]. I can still fight... Moreover, I seem to have discovered their weakness just now!”

Wang Xiao originally wanted to force Zhou Xiruo to take refuge, but when he heard that she had discovered the Lang brothers’ weakness, he immediately revealed a surprised expression. “What wealmess?”

“I can’t tell you right now.”

Zhou Xiruo shook her head. Perhaps it was the effect of the [Healing Potion], but some color returned to her pale face. “When you pushed me away just now,

I saw some... some...”

At this point, Zhou Xiruo suddenly paused, as if she did not know how to describe it. After a few seconds, she continued, “I saw ‘something’. I need to confirm it again.”

When Wang Xiao heard this, he suddenly revealed a strange expression.

His intuition told him that Zhou Xiruo was only lying and wanted to stay.

However, after a short moment of thought, Wang Xiao still nodded. “Alright, I’ll cooperate with you.”

With a soft bang, the huge body of the [Gold Armor Black Turtle] shattered into light.

Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo stood up and immediately saw the Lang brothers still standing side by side in the distance. It was as if their disappearance just now was only an illusion for Wang Xiao..
