Chapter 359: Chapter 352: The Eighty-Year-Old Mother and The Three-Year-Old Child – Part 1

Along the way, Qin Niu invented a story about an Immortal Master ancestor to intimidate the other party, which also made him feel frightened inside.

There’s a saying that ginger gets spicier with age.

The person in question was a Spirit Qi Realm powerhouse, and judging by his appearance, he was at least in his sixties or seventies.

Once one reached the Innate Realm, the aging process would slow down significantly.

Therefore, the old man’s actual age could be much greater than what it appeared to be.

The longer a person lives, the more social experience and knowledge they accumulate, and the lower the likelihood of being deceived.

If Qin Niu’s lies were exposed, he wouldn’t even get the chance to escape.

From the old man’s reaction, it seemed that he had been fooled.

If not utterly convinced, at least he believed it by seventy to eighty percent.

As Qin Niu traveled, he seemed to be moving swiftly, but in reality, he was extremely cautious. Not only was he carefully sensing the movement ahead, but he also had Fourth sense danger along with him.

The height of this mountain peak was at least over three thousand meters.

Normally, a high mountain of a thousand meters could already be called a mountain range.

While flying up the peak, Qin Niu released a large number of Termite.

“You guys check my body thoroughly and see if there are any other insects on me!”

Qin Niu was dealing with a Gu Master this time, and what he feared most was that the other party might have surreptitiously placed a Gu on him. frёewebnoѵēl.com

If that were the case, all his actions would be under the other party’s surveillance.

“Nothing found!”

After a careful inspection, Fourth and the other Termite found nothing unusual.

Qin Niu was still somewhat uneasy.

The old man was extremely crafty; it was impossible for him not to have some tricks up his sleeve.

“Keep an eye on my back in secret, and if any insects are following, immediately join forces to subdue them.”

Having said this, he began to deliberately place some Termite behind him.

Now it was nighttime, and it was the world of the Termite.

They could use the cover of darkness to become extremely concealed.

A moment later, a Dark Poison Ant sent a signal to Qin Niu.

“Master, a small insect is following behind you.”

“Puppet Ants, listen to my command and control it!”

Qin Niu immediately gave the order.

Sure enough, as he had guessed, the elder was not foolishly waiting at the base of the mountain.

Instead, he sent out insects to track Qin Niu and engage in some small actions.

“Master, we have successfully taken control!”

The Demon Ant sent this information to Qin Niu.

“Well done, let it come over here.”

Qin Niu slowed his pace, and the insect that had been tracking him came over, controlled by the Demon Ant and a group of Termite.

It was a black spider only the size of a pea.

Its speed was extremely fast when crawling on the ground, and it was adept at moving through the leaves and twigs on the forest floor.

After careful identification, Qin Niu preliminarily determined that it was a Mimic Gap Spider.

It was somewhat like a variant of the Thorn Mimic Gap Spider.

It wasn’t high in grade, only about Grade Four.

In Qin Niu’s eyes, a Grade Four insect wasn’t much of a threat.

“Let it send a signal, all is normal.”

Qin Niu let out a cold laugh.

After making sure there were no other insects following him, he was already far from the elderly man.

It was time to use this elder as cannon fodder.

The trees on this mountain peak were tall, and the vegetation was dense.

There was still one important thing to do next.

That was to send a signal to the elder at the foot of the peak, ordering him to come up the mountain.

On this mountain peak, Qin Niu always felt a little uneasy.

Talking loudly was basically the same as courting death.

Leading the old man down the mountain?

Having finally slipped away from the old man’s sight, going back would be an option only if one’s head had been slammed by a door.

How could one ensure not to disturb the demon birds at the peak without taking any risks personally and still lure the old man up the mountain?

Qin Niu racked his brains over this issue.

Suddenly, an idea struck him.

He released a Green-Head Summoning Bee from his Hundred Treasures Insect Bag.

He had obtained two Green-Head Summoning Bees in total, one of which had been fed Ancient Banyan Tree Blood and was still evolving.

The other could be used in this critical moment.

“Don’t rush, in a moment you will go down the mountain to guide that old man, lead him to the peak. Then find an opportunity to slip away,” Qin Niu assigned the task.

This Green-Head Bee had much stronger abilities than a honey bee. Not only could it fly quickly, but it also had night vision, and its appearance was quite impressive as well.

It looked high-end to the observer.

Qin Niu quietly made his way to the other side of the mountain, then deliberately waited for almost half an hour.

This was to keep the old man hanging.

The old man waiting at the base of the mountain must have started to make wild guesses by now.

This was exactly the effect Qin Niu wanted to achieve.

He wasn’t exactly an expert at manipulating human nature, but he at least had a talent for it.

Just as the old man at the base of the mountain was becoming anxious and impatient, a Green-Head Bee appeared in front of him. It fluttered gracefully in the air, circling the old man three times, then proceeded to lead the way ahead.

It even intelligently stopped from time to time, waiting for the old man to follow.

“To think he sent a bee to guide the way, is that Immortal Master also an Insect Master? Or is it only that young man in the Innate Realm who is an Insect Master?” the old man wondered with suspicion.

Before the appearance of the Green-Head Bee, he even doubted for a moment whether Qin Niu had escaped.

But the Mimic Gap Spider he sent out had not sent back any abnormal information, which somewhat reassured the old man.

Moreover, he subconsciously assumed Qin Niu must have already gone to the peak of the mountain.

He never considered the possibility that there could be danger on top of this mountain.

As the old man gradually approached the middle of the mountain, the intangible pressure he felt became even more intense.

“It’s not the height of the mountain that matters, but the presence of immortals that give it spirit! The presence of an Immortal Master level being is indeed terrifying—it makes one anxious from such a distance,” he thought.

The old man mistook the invisible pressure as a display of might from an Immortal Master.

He became even more respectful and followed the Green-Head Bee obediently toward the peak.

On the other side of the mountain, Qin Niu had already stealthily descended.

This mountain was too strange, and staying inside, he always felt a bit uneasy.

The old man had been lured into acting as a decoy, and who knew what formidable existence might be provoked.

It was wiser to leave this place quickly.

After Qin Niu had crept down the mountain, the unsettling feeling weakened a lot.

He still felt it wasn’t completely safe.

All he could hope for now was for a demon bird to actually dwell at the peak and engage in a deadly battle with the old man from the Spirit Qi Realm, preferably killing the old man.

Demon beasts and birds varied in strength.

A regular demon bird’s power might be comparable to a human warrior in the Innate Realm.

A slightly more formidable one would be equivalent to a human in the Spirit Qi Realm.

And the more powerful ones were terrifying.

They could even kill an Immortal Master, and do so instantly.

Demon birds and beasts had a very high growth ceiling.

Some powerful great demons were even entities that Immortal Sects dared not provoke.

Qin Niu fled into the distance, occasionally looking back at the mountain behind him.

After about the time it takes to eat a meal, an extremely loud bird cry came from the mountain. It was the same call of the demon bird that Qin Niu had heard before.

It seemed that the old man, like a fool, had been tricked by Qin Niu to go up the mountain as a scout and had already disturbed the demon birds within.

Qin Niu found a hidden spot to conceal his form and watched the mountain peak nervously.
