Chapter 251 - The Insect Controlling Arts Show Its Power
A piercing scream shattered the tranquil stillness of the untouched forest.
“Ah! Bugs, bugs!”
“Run for it! The place is swarming with venomous insects!”
......
One high-pitched scream after another filled the air!
“They're crawling inside my clothes!”
The middle-aged leader bellowed.
“Move out, now!”
With that command, he bolted, leading the way.
But it was too late. A multitude of poisonous insects had already burrowed into their garments!
The insects hadn't even started biting, and panic had set in.
The special insect repellent they carried was utterly ineffective!
Once they had put some distance between themselves and the danger, he thought he was safe.
He tossed his gun aside and frantically doused himself with the repellent, as if his life depended on it.
But to no avail. The bugs seemed immune to the repellent, frenzied and unstoppable.
“Damn it, the repellent's not working!”
“Big brother, go, go now!”
No sooner had they finished speaking than their bodies were suddenly swarmed by a mass of black bugs!
“Second, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh!”
The eldest brother bellowed in rapid succession upon witnessing the scene.
In that moment, he watched his brothers, who had stood by his side through countless battles and roamed the Jianghu for years, fall before him, while he stood there, utterly helpless.
His eyes were wide with rage, and he seethed with fury at his own impotence.
“Ah—!”
He let out a heart-wrenching howl to the heavens, then drew his pistol and fired shot after shot into the sky until the magazine was spent.
In that instant, overcome with despair, he collapsed to his knees.
A short distance away, Jiang Hao was moved by the display of brotherhood.
Initially, Jiang Hao had intended to eliminate five of them, sparing only the leader in hopes of extracting some information.
But after witnessing their bond, Jiang Hao resolved to stay his hand, contemplating whether he could turn them into allies.
If not, there would still be time to decide their fate, as their lives were firmly in his grasp.
“If I decree death, you shall die; if I decree life, you shall live!”
Jiang Hao harbored this conviction.
With that thought, Jiang Hao let his disguise fall away and stepped forward. Gazing down at the kneeling boss, he asked,
“Do you wish for them to live?”
Jiang Hao's abrupt voice jolted the leader back to reality.
