Chapter 507: Chapter 366 The Cunning Minister is Desperate and Ruined _2

...

In the darkness, a green glow shimmered, with the sounds of battle approaching from far away. Amidst the roar of magical instruments, high-level spirit insects screeched, and a faint rustle of clothes was torn by the wind. A dazzling figure emerged from the darkness, guiding a furious Tire-5 spirit insect towards a certain direction.

There was a great formation painstakingly set up by Catherine, only a few dozen feet away from leading the massive insect into it. Catherine finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy! The spirit insects on this layer were not only powerful but also exceptionally sensitive to any movement, which would make them swarm over immediately.

She had failed several times before, being forced to abandon the attempt due to being surrounded by the spirit insects. This time, she had made full preparations, chose a route, and set up several barriers along her path, managing to temporarily stop the other spirit insects and lure only this one to chase her.

Feeling that success was imminent, she could not help but become inexplicably uneasy, as a ridiculous thought came to her: would some insidious star suddenly ruin her plan?

But maybe this was just the cultivator’s mysterious "whim," as when she looked back, she saw a fleeting figure suddenly appearing, blocking her way and the spirit insect’s path. With a raise of the hand and a slap, the ferocious Tire-5 spirit insect rolled belly-up on the ground and was caught into the earthenware jar!

Catherine stopped dumbfounded, unable to hold back any longer, and a well-rounded word leapt from her cherry lips hidden behind her veil: "Grass."

As everyone knows, this gentle lady was merely mentioning a kind of plant while venting a bit of her emotions.

"Owen Bertram!"

"You bastard!"

...

Donald Lee employed a military technique that allowed him to almost perfectly camouflage and merge with his surroundings without letting any breath leak out.

He had been lying here for more than one shichen (2 hours), motionless, watching the giant insect eating voraciously in the distance at the insect nest.

In the past, he had used this technique, coupled with his incredible willpower, to lie motionless in the wilderness for three days and nights, successfully assassinating a general of the Nanni Nation. So, the current situation was quite ordinary for him.

It was merely because this layer was too troublesome, with irritable spirit insects swarming at the slightest disturbance. Thus, he had to resort to this tactic, just waiting for an opportunity to strike in one blow!

The only flaw in this ambush plan was that the sense of smell of spirit insects was countless times more sensitive than that of the Lester people. Donald Lee could conceal his breath but couldn’t block his scent - so, in fact, he was now hiding in a pile of Tire-5 spirit insect excrement.

Donald Lee didn’t care! As a ruthless warrior, he only had victory in his heart! Whether it was excrement or ordinary rocks and gravel, it didn’t make a difference to him.

But...it really did smell awful. What on earth did this damned insect eat every day?!

Enduring it a little longer, the insect finished eating and should soon be excreting its waste. As long as it approached him, his chance to capture the Tire-5 spirit insect and quickly leave the Zombie Cave would come. He would be the first to pass the second test!

The insect finally stopped eating, its metallic shell swaying as it seemed about to approach him. Donald Lee kept reminding himself to stay calm and control his heartbeat. He didn’t want to ruin everything with a minor mistake. That was the cardinal sin of ambush!

As the insect drew nearer, a shadow suddenly swooped in, holding an earthenware jar and a swift slap wiped out the giant Tire-5 spirit insect...

The figure sped off, never realizing the perfectly hidden Donald Lee amongst the pile of insect excrement - probably because they didn’t want to look at such things.

Donald Lee silently stood up, using divine skills to gather water and wash his filthy body repeatedly. He thoroughly soaked himself and for a moment, felt heartbroken. Why did he have to suffer such misery?!

Damn that villain! Why did he have to snatch his prey? Wasn’t life hard enough for him?!

He just didn’t know that the villain didn’t only snatch his prey but stole from everyone else too.

...

Without needing to exchange glances, Wayne Malvin was already sure that Owen Bertram was targeting him. As soon as he and Leroy Baker, the young master, found another Tire-5 spirit insect, it would inevitably be snatched away by the guy at the last minute or even before they could act.

Leroy Baker became suspicious, "Do I have such a deep grudge with Mr. Owen?"

The truth was that he had to bid farewell to several of his beloved girlfriends and venture deep into the Fourth Layer all because of Mr. Owen - Mr. Owen might not even know that there was such a man in the world who had been hurt by him.

"There’s no need for Mr. Owen to pick on me," Leroy Baker seemed to be talking to himself, yet he glanced at Wayne Malvin, whose face changed color rapidly. Leroy Baker knew that it must have been this guy’s fault.

Leroy Baker sat down with a plop, giving up completely, "No need to look anymore, there’s no hope for high-level spirit insects."

Although twenty li (1 li = 500 meters) around the Resurrection Path seemed like a vast area, the territory of high-level spirit insects was not small. Because this place was in the depths of the Extinction Domain, the Tire-5 and Tire-4 spirit insect numbers were limited due to the fierce competition. After Owen Bertram had looted back and forth for several rounds, he had almost ransacked the entire area.
