Chapter 482 - 300: The Gu Insect Protects Its Master
"Senior Sister—!"
Seeing one of the Seven Fairy Sisters suffer a Poisonous Bite and on the verge of death, Zou Feng’s eyes nearly burst from their sockets. With a savage roar, he spun around and seized the red ant monster.
Then, filled with "grief and fury," he viciously tore the ant monster limb from limb.
He had instantly avenged his senior sister, and as a bonus, absorbed the poison from the assassin ant’s body.
In truth, casualties had been occurring intermittently throughout the battle.
Therefore, the fall of another Inner Sect Disciple no longer attracted much attention.
Even those who did look over would only see Zou Feng as a man of great passion, one who would disregard his own safety in an attempt to save a fellow disciple.
Furthermore, after his fellow disciple’s tragic death, he had seemingly lost all reason in his frenzied quest for revenge.
This display made the many disciples—who already felt a sense of goodwill toward Zou Feng for continuously neutralizing their poisons—respect him all the more.
They had no suspicion whatsoever that he was the true culprit behind the female disciple’s sudden demise.
With his scheme successful, Zou Feng naturally repeated the process, continuing to bring disaster upon the other Fairies.
’Rather than wait for these prominent sisters to make a move and then counter-attacking in self-defense, it’s far better to strike first and completely eliminate the hidden threats within the team.’
After the fourth Fairy was tricked and killed, the remaining three prominent sisters from the Tianxiang Association finally realized something was wrong.
’How is it that every time Zou Feng goes to help one of our sisters, she ends up dying even faster?!’
"Zou Feng, you..."
"Senior Sister, watch out!"
"Ah—!"
Before the woman could finish exposing Zou Feng, she was distracted, allowing a nearby ant monster to seize the opportunity.
In a mere moment, her body was completely covered by a dense swarm of ant monsters.
Even with her Spiritual Qi protecting her body, she couldn’t withstand such a high-intensity, concentrated assault. And with Zou Feng not neutralizing her poison, her screams quickly faded until they were inaudible, then stopped abruptly.
"You villain! You’re the one who harmed our sisters!"
"That’s right, it’s Zou Feng! He’s deliberately setting up his fellow disciples!"
The last two prominent sisters of the Tianxiang Association roared in unison.
But it was a pity. The surrounding disciples just looked at the pair of them as if they were madwomen.
How malicious and idiotic did you have to be to try and pin the blame on a teammate who was so obviously doing his best at such a critical time?
In truth, most of the disciples already loathed the Immortal Association, so they wouldn’t even begin to consider that Zou Feng might actually be scheming behind the scenes.
However, with the two remaining women making such a scene, Zou Feng could no longer go over and "repay their malice with virtue" by offering his support.
If he got close to continue the act, anyone would see that he was, in fact, orchestrating the deaths of these Tianxiang Association members.
’But it’s not a big deal,’ Zou Feng thought. ’There are only two left anyway. I’ll just torment them with the side effects and make it impossible for them to focus on fighting.’
Putting his thoughts into action, Zou Feng began to use Visualization for all sorts of inappropriate things while dodging the assassin ants.
He hadn’t done so before because he was being targeted by the assassin ants and also had to neutralize his teammates’ poison; it was impossible to split his focus three ways.
But now, many disciples had been moved by Zou Feng’s recent "heroic and righteous" display, and they all understood the importance of this "master of detoxification."
As a result, a few of the more powerful Inner Sect Disciples began to protect him with a tacit understanding, helping him fend off the endless stream of assassin ants.
This gave Zou Feng the leisure to indulge in some "haphazard Visualization."
’Then again, the fact that I’m picturing all sorts of forbidden images in the middle of such a heated battle is just ridiculous.’
Under the influence of his Visualization, the two women, who had not received Zou Feng’s antidote, found themselves struggling even more.
One can only imagine how difficult it was for them to fend off the dense swarms of ant monsters while their legs shook and trembled.
Eventually, both fell victim one after the other. But the final sounds they made weren’t screams of agony, but soft moans.
After collapsing to the ground in sudden death, the blush on their faces had yet to fade. They even wore expressions of slight pleasure, making their deaths look exceedingly strange.
The sudden deaths of all Seven Fairy Sisters did not cause any ripples in Zou Feng’s team.
Everyone was still busy fending off the relentless waves of ant monsters.
Meanwhile, in another team containing another prominent sister, a woman named Bai Rui sensed what had happened through a special connection shared among Tianxiang Association members.
’How could this be?!’
Casualties were normal when exploring the Outer Realm, but for seven Inner Sect Disciples to perish all at once in such a short time was highly unusual, especially since they were in a group led by a Core Disciple.
Bai Rui’s own team had also been attacked by some insectoid monsters in the caverns.
These bugs were nowhere near strong enough to wipe out an entire expedition team in such a short time.
’So what on earth is going on...?’
After a moment of shock, Bai Rui took a few steps forward, found Luo Yingning on the same team, and sent a voice transmission, "Senior Sister Luo, something has happened..."
To her surprise, Luo Yingning just snorted coldly after listening. "A bunch of trash!"
The rebuke left Bai Rui stunned.
’Wait, she doesn’t even know the details of what happened, and she’s already calling our sisters from the association trash?!’
Just as she was wondering how to respond, the Core Disciple leading their team spoke up.
"Zhao Qian’s team is calling for aid! Everyone, keep up!"
’So there really is a huge problem.’
Bai Rui knew, of course, that Core Disciple Zhao Qian’s team was the one her seven fallen sisters had been on.
And according to their plan, those seven sisters were supposed to have secretly made a move to leave Zou Feng gravely injured.
This was to give Luo Yingning an easy opportunity to devour Zou Feng.
Unfortunately, that plan was now nothing but smoke.
’There’s no point in dwelling on what happened. I’ll find out once we get there to provide support...’
