"What a stench!"
Nine flying insects streaked across the sky like meteors. One of them urgently transmitted a message to the others:
"Don't act rashly."
"This person easily defeated three of you. He must be one of the supreme masters on this island. There can't be many like him here, so let's avoid him for now."
The leader telepathically ordered the group: "Once we gather the intelligence, we can deal with him later!"
"Understood!"
Everyone nodded and changed course to bypass Lu DaSheng.
After avoiding Lu DaSheng, the nine flying insects hovered in midair.
"Remember my orders. Split up to gather intelligence."
"Then rendezvous at the southern shore of the island before we all retreat together."
"Disperse!"
At the leader's command, eight flying insects immediately scattered, splitting into pairs to approach the island from all directions.
"Ninth Brother, I feel like our defense is invincible!" Eighth Brother chatted as he and Ninth Brother flew close to the water's surface.
"Indeed. In our current state, even if the boss attacked us with full force, he couldn't harm us at all!"
"Ah, if only we had been in this state when facing that manure carrier. Tenth Brother wouldn't have died."
"Yeah, that's true."
"Once we've gathered the intelligence, we'll avenge Tenth Brother."
The two conversed as they flew along.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Ninth Brother let out a surprised exclamation. "Eighth Brother, look quick! There's a fish in the water right below us!"
Eighth Brother glanced down dismissively. "It's just a small fish. It's not like it could become a spirit or something. Don't worry about it; landing on the island is more important."
But no sooner had he finished speaking than the carp leapt out of the water and swallowed Ninth Brother in one gulp.
"What the hell?"
"Ninth Brother?"
Eighth Brother cried out in shock.
The next moment, a pair of bulging fish eyes surfaced, staring at him.
Those eyes instantly filled Eighth Brother with terror.
The carp jumped up again, swallowing him in one bite.
Even as he died, he couldn't understand how an ordinary little carp had managed to devour him.
...
"I thought this island might have some traps, but it seems too easy!"
"We've landed without any trouble at all."
Meanwhile, Elder Six and Elder Seven had successfully reached the island. They hovered near a tree on the shore, observing their surroundings.
At that moment, they sensed something watching them.
They turned to look.
They spotted a small chameleon perched on the tree, its round eyes rotating to stare at them.
"Hah!"
"Does this little creature think it can eat us?"
Elder Six sneered at the sight. "Little one, we're not your food. Even if you want to eat us, I doubt you could digest us."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tongue shot out.
The two brothers were still laughing when the tongue tightly bound them and pulled them into the chameleon's mouth in one swift motion.
The chameleon rotated its 360-degree eyes, as if rolling them, then settled down on the tree to sleep.
...
"Smack!"
"Fifth Brother!"
In another area, Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother had just landed on the island when they encountered an old woman resting in the shade of a tree. With one swing of her mosquito swatter, she knocked Fifth Brother to the ground.
Before he could recover, the old woman stepped on him.
She ground her foot a bit more.
"There are so many bugs under this tree. I'm not resting here anymore," she grumbled unhappily before waddling away, muttering complaints.
Staring at Fifth Brother, who had been crushed into a pulp with his innards spilling out, Fourth Brother's eyes bulged in disbelief.
He felt his scalp tingling with shock.
What the hell?
What... what was going on?
Weren't they supposed to have invincible defenses?
How could an old woman crush one of them into a pancake with a single step!?
