Chapter 46 Subterranean Worms Appear!
The second arrow struck his right abdomen, passing right through his body and emerging from his back with a small section of the arrowhead, leaving a spray of dark red blood that was then stained a strange dark green by the gushing venom.
The third arrow, the most deadly, pierced his left chest, just past the edge of his heart! This arrow did not immediately penetrate his back, but remained inside his chest cavity, where the poison erupted most violently in a vital area!
Actually, Zhao Hai had deliberately controlled the poison in the arrows.
It should be noted that although Zhao Hai can control the changes in the poisonous mist, controlling the poison arrows and locking onto the target is extremely mentally and physically demanding.
The more poison in an arrow, the more mental and spiritual energy it consumes.
It was precisely because Zhao Hai had expended a great deal of mental and spiritual energy during his battle with Yu Zexing that he was able to activate the toxins within Yu Zexing's body.
After all, his purpose in fighting Yu Zexing was simply to find out the power of his poison gas ability after it was developed.
The development of this ability was because Zhao Hai was too bored while on night watch. He wanted to try to condense his poisonous mist into a form. After all, many cultivation novels feature various mists that can be transformed in countless ways, so why couldn't his poisonous mist work?
So Zhao Hai also started to try.
As a result, he discovered that it wasn't actually that difficult to condense the poisonous fog into a shape; he succeeded after only a dozen or so attempts.
The difficulty lies in the fact that controlling the condensed poison gas attack is extremely mentally taxing.
However, Zhao Hai later discovered that with his continuous practice, his mental strength was gradually increasing.
A distance of over 100 meters was already the limit of Zhao Hai's control.
Su Wanyue was keeping the big bug occupied; she couldn't let Yu Shibao get away.
Although he is not in the combat sequence, he is an indispensable support role. If he wanted to, he could start another convoy.
I killed his son. I hope he won't end up like the protagonist in those cultivation novels, whose fortunes change every three years and then come looking for revenge.
Therefore, killing Yu Shibao now while he is incapacitated is the best option, to avoid future trouble.
In order to ensure that his arrows could travel that far, and also to ensure that Yu Shibo was shot dead before getting into the carriage.
Although each arrow contained only a tiny amount of poison, Zhao Hai fired three arrows in a row to ensure that Yu Shibo would die from his poisoned arrows.
Otherwise, even a single poisoned arrow, even if it only causes a scratch, would be enough to kill Yu Shibo with its deadly poison!
"Wow! Hai Zi, you're amazing! I never expected your poison arrow could shoot so far, over a hundred meters, killing Yu Shibo instantly!" Wang Hu exclaimed excitedly.
"Brother Tiger! Don't get so agitated, help me up!"
When dealing with Yu Zexing, Zhao Hai had already used up more than 60% of his mental energy. Now, in order to kill Yu Shibo, he had completely drained him, and his mind was swaying and he was very dizzy.
Seeing Zhao Hai staggering, Wang Hu was startled and quickly helped him up.
"Hai Zi, why are you so weak?" Wang Hu couldn't resist winking at Zhao Hai and teasingly asked.
"What do you think! That arrow shot over a hundred meters, no wonder it drained me dry! Back when Lü Bu shot the halberd at the gate, the arrow only traveled a little over a hundred meters!"
"Besides, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a novel, and it contains exaggerated elements! I bet he'll be lucky if he can shoot it a hundred meters!" Zhao Hai said irritably.
"That's true! With my giant-like strength, even without aiming for accuracy, I could probably only shoot an arrow about two hundred meters. I doubt Lu Bu could have shot that far in ancient times!" Wang Hu muttered to himself.
"Oh no! Wanyue, those insects from underground are already surrounding us! Can you hold them off by yourself?" Xu Wenchu asked worriedly.
"How many insects are underground?" Su Wanyue asked with a somewhat serious expression.
"Five!"
As soon as Xu Wenchu finished speaking, five insect shadows emerged from the ground around the convoy.
……
"Holy crap! There are five more bugs!"
"This bug looks just like that big bug!"
"Isn't that obvious? They're practically identical!"
"What do we do! There are so many bugs! Are they going to eat us?"
However, the worries of the ordinary survivors in the Star Train fleet were obviously unnecessary. After the five insects broke out of the ground, they did not attack the ordinary survivors in the fleet. Instead, they rushed towards Su Wanyue's direction.
Soon, the five insects surrounded Su Wanyue from different directions.
The insect entangled by Su Wanyue was about the height of a person, resembling a combination of a ferocious centipede and a scorpion magnified dozens of times. Its body was covered with a thick, dark red to black carapace, with distinct segments, and dozens of pairs of short, sharp legs on both sides, making a teeth-grinding "rustling" sound as it crawled.
Its upper body was manipulating two large pincers—the pincers were as big as wheels, with serrated edges that made a crisp "clang" when they opened and closed, like a giant gate cutting through steel bars; the back of the pincers was covered with honeycomb-like holes, which contained oily green poisonous bubbles. As the pincers opened and closed, acidic liquid would "glug" out and drip down the edges, corroding honeycomb-like pits as soon as it touched the ground.
The five insects that surrounded it looked exactly like the first one, except that they were half the size of the first one.
Clearly, that big worm was the leader of the five worms.
"Sister Wanyue, if I create poisonous fog for you, can you handle these six insects?" With Wang Hu's help, Zhao Hai also came to Su Wanyue and Xu Wenchu's side.
"Okay!" Su Wanyue nodded.
Although Zhao Hai's mental energy was exhausted, releasing the poisonous mist did not consume his mental energy, but only his supernatural power.
And he still possesses quite a bit of extraordinary power!
Seeing Su Wanyue nod, Zhao Hai did not hesitate and released three toxic mists with a radius of six meters in one go.
Those six insects were poisonous insects themselves. The poisonous mist released by Zhao Hai didn't have much effect on them, but it could obstruct their vision and hinder their movements.
Three plumes of dark green poisonous mist exploded almost simultaneously, like three giant ghost mushrooms, instantly engulfing the center of the ruins.
The three plumes of poisonous mist did not overlap completely, but were distributed in a triangular pattern, perfectly covering a large area in front of Su Wanyue and to her left and right, along with the six ferocious insects!
The moment the poisonous mist was released, Su Wanyue was already prepared. Taking advantage of the moment when the six insects were stunned, she slashed out with four blades.
It immediately killed two of the smaller insects.
