Chapter 1365: Attack Against Him

At this time, a soldier came with a letter and presented it to the Marshal. Boss Situ Yu was already very familiar with the style of the envelope. He opened it casually, and sure enough, inside was the light green sprinkled-gold letter paper exclusively used by the Yangshan Society.

He Lingchuan had arrived in Yaopo and invited him to the Piaofeng Tower for a meal to celebrate the victory.

Such a coincidence; he had just thought of He Lingchuan, and He Lingchuan had come to Yaopo. Boss Situ Yu was in a good mood and casually gave a reply: See you there.

Nowadays, the contact and cooperation between the Yangshan Society and the Boss Situ family were very close, and the Boss Situ father and son had many opportunities to meet He Lingchuan, getting along like old friends. Island Master He was naturally heroic, and inviting him to dinner wasn't the first or second time; they were all small gatherings between friends, so Boss Situ Yu didn't think much of it.

He worked for another hour, and the sky gradually darkened; the attendant came in to light the lamps.

Alright, it was time to go to Piaofeng Tower.

He couldn't drink too late tonight; he had to return to the front line tomorrow morning. Thinking this, Boss Situ Yu stood up, stretched, changed into casual clothes, and took more than a dozen personal guards out of the camp and into the city.

Yaopo had three natural lakes, very close to each other, so they were connected by artificially dug water channels, and Piaofeng Tower was built by the lake.

This place was the front line of the battle not long ago, so the lake shore was naturally not specially maintained, and it was overgrown with weeds. Fortunately, everything was growing in this season, the wind blew the grass low, water birds wandered, and the shore also had a wild interest.

Piaofeng Tower had several small pavilions, and the Yangshan Society had booked the one closest to the water.

Boss Situ Yu had arrived early, and when he asked and found He Lingchuan hadn't arrived yet, he went to the pavilion to wait.

At this time, the daylight was just right, the water surface was sparkling with golden light, and Boss Situ Yu had just sat down when he saw several fish jumping out of the lake nearby, one of which even bumped into a lotus flower.

A scene full of vitality.

If only the Boss Situ family's territory could always be this peaceful.

On the water surface five feet away from the small pavilion floated a cluster of floating lotuses, four or five lotus flowers scattered in an orderly manner, green leaves and pink petals, not needing much maintenance, blooming gracefully and full of spirit.

A gust of wind blew, and the fragrance of flowers was intoxicating.

Boss Situ Yu waited for people in the small pavilion while pondering the battle situation on the front line. The personal guards he brought surrounded the perimeter, even blocking the road leading here, so no idlers were allowed near.

No one noticed that the eaves of the small pavilion, the grass on the shore, and the nearby large trees were all covered with dense, dark green insects smaller than the fingernail of a little finger.

There was a lot of grass by the lake, and besides, there were many insects in this season. Even if Boss Situ Yu, the lord, was overbearing, he couldn't stop the insects from flying around.

Occasionally a few flew close, but were waved away by the personal guards.

Another warm wind blew, and two people yawned at the same time.

The lake breeze was humid and gentle, the fragrance of flowers was rich and sweet, and the surroundings were quiet and peaceful. Everyone had stood here for a long time, their minds gradually relaxed, and their eyelids felt a bit dry.

The third person also yawned; just as his mouth opened wide, an indigo beetle happened to fly over and flew straight in.

"Ah, ptooey!" The man hurriedly spat it out.

But it was already too late; he could feel the cold insect crawling on his throat, and those few tiny thin legs were pricking him with great pain!

This movement naturally startled Boss Situ Yu: "What's going on outside?"

After a breath or two, the personal guard outside replied: "General, Ah Xun ate an insect when he opened his mouth."

Ate an insect? Boss Situ Yu frowned; why was this personal guard's voice so full of sleepiness?

He was just about to speak when he suddenly saw a few beetles crawling on the windowsill, some dark green, some oak-colored, almost blending in with the surrounding environment.

Not right, more than a dozen!

Boss Situ Yu looked again, and good heavens, he didn't know until he looked, and he was startled when he did: the surrounding walls, the ground, the ceiling, including the shadows of the gauze curtains, were all covered with these insects!

Since when had he been surrounded by insects without knowing it? Boss Situ Yu felt something was wrong and stood up immediately.

Just at this moment, two thuds came from behind the house; it was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

His first reaction was that the two personal guards guarding behind the house had met with an accident.

"Enemy attack!"

This shout didn't come from the personal guards, but from Boss Situ Yu.

He rushed to the door of the small pavilion in one step, just in time to see several personal guards shaking their heads, unable to even stand steady.

"General, the fragrance is poisonous, we've been..." Ah Xun was reporting, when he suddenly let out a loud scream, reaching out to dig the beetle out of his throat.

But he didn't dig it out, and he kept screaming for help: the insect had actually bitten through his upper jaw and was drilling its way up! He was rolling on the ground in pain, and Boss Situ Yu saw with his own eyes that blood was flowing from his nose.

"General, run quickly, there's an ambush here!" Another guard, who had a higher cultivation level, was still able to force himself to stay awake and was stuffing a clear-heart pill into his mouth.

Boss Situ Yu didn't say a word, lifted his legs, and ran toward the shore.

The lake surface was so open; how did the opponent poison them? He didn't have time to think about it, because the answer jumped out the next second.

It really jumped out—

He had just passed the long corridor by the water when the lake water surged without waves with a splash.

Something burst out from under the water, opening its big mouth to greet Boss Situ Yu! Inside that mouth, it was full of nail-like teeth.

This thing was two zhang long, flat in shape, brownish-gray; at first glance, it looked like both a lizard and a crocodile, and even the way it lunged from underwater was exactly the same as a crocodile.

But its tongue was particularly strange, like a pink lotus flower, still double-petaled, with even a light yellow core in the center!

In fact, this monster had been lurking underwater all along, only extending its tongue among the lotus leaves, completely able to pass for a fish. The intoxicating fragrance that made the guards drowsy was released by its "Tongue-Lotus". Although the space here was open, they were really too close to the source of the poisonous fragrance, so after smelling it for a while, they lost consciousness.

Boss Situ Yu had already raised his vigilance, supported himself on the corridor railing with his hand, and jumped directly under the eaves, narrowly avoiding this strike.

The monster's big mouth closed with a snap, and it broke the corridor bridge itself before falling back into the water.

Boss Situ Yu flew forward without a word, knowing that he would only be safe if he returned to the shore as soon as possible.

But a buzzing sound suddenly rose on the corridor bridge, and a large group of beetles rushed toward him, as if Boss Situ Yu had poked their nest.

But anyone with a little common sense knew that beetles were usually not social insects like bees and ants; how could they have a nest?

Boss Situ Yu had already propped up his protective Qi and activated his protective magic tool, so this group of dark green or dark brown beetles was blocked two feet in front of him, as if pushed by an invisible wall.

Then, they glowed.

At first, their abdomens turned red, like lit tungsten filaments, and then the whole insect glowed red, swelling more than double, especially the belly, which was stretched like a full balloon, ready to burst the next second.

One was like this, and a group was like this; Boss Situ Yu's face was immediately illuminated by this light.

Immediately following a loud bang, the insect swarm exploded!

The explosion of one beetle could break a wooden strip as thick as three fingers; with thousands of beetles exploding together, the corridor bridge couldn't withstand the force and shattered directly.
