Free Web NovelChapter 1010: Chapter 369: How about Marrying My Sister to You?
Facing so many enemies, whether in an Alien-shaped game of 1v100 or successive waves of combat like a Wheel War, none of it was good news for Ree Shil.
His "Kung Fu Sheep God" was extremely strong against individuals, but against groups, its ability could only be described as nonexistent.
If he really had to face so many enemies, he probably couldn’t withstand it.
"This is starting off on the wrong foot, I just entered the Instance not long ago.
I won’t be kicked out just like that, will I?"
For a moment, he felt like he had nowhere to hide.
In such a short time, the surrounding Sky Realm had become densely filled with Giant Mosquitoes.
It seemed useless to dive underwater since coming up for air would likely pull him into a Card Game; those creatures’ air cones were no joke, and if he could dodge one shot, he couldn’t dodge a volley.
The speed at which the swarm of Giant Mosquitoes covered the area was even faster than the setting sun.
"No choice, I’m screwed."
He soon found himself as if enveloped by dark clouds.
Just as Ree Shil thought he was about to be drawn into a Card Game, he suddenly heard someone speaking.
"Hey, Sheep Tribe brother, what are you doing here?"
The voice came from beneath an Earth pile, that is, the surface of the lake.
"Hm?"
Following the sound and looking down, Ree Shil then noticed a guy with a blackened face looking up at him from the lake surface.
It appeared to be a fish at first sight, but when the other party climbed onto the Earth pile, he could see it was a Fish-headed Man, not a full fish.
Like the animals here, it also had a black and white exterior.
Soon, seven or eight similar guys emerged.
There were Crocodile Heads, Octopus Heads, Seahorse Heads, and so on, all aquatic creatures.
"Let’s disperse them first; let’s not scare the others."
At that moment, the Fish-headed Man gestured to his companions, and everyone waved their hands.

Unexpectedly, these Giant Mosquitoes seemed to understand human behavior, as they dispersed and flew off in different directions.
"Sorry about that, didn’t mean to frighten you.
These are our own trained Kung Fu Mosquito Beasts.
My name is Fishy."
The Fish-headed Man bowed to Ree Shil, "How should I address my Sheep Tribe brother?"
This was the second time the other party had addressed him that way, making Ree Shil guess that his outward form given by the Instance must have been that of a Sheep-headed Man.
"Ree Shil."
He mimicked the other party’s gesture and bowed.
"Brother Ree Shil must be from out of town; this lake is very dangerous, and wandering into it carelessly could cost you your life."
As the Fish-headed Man spoke, the others gathered around.
On these Plum Pile Earth stakes, they moved as if on level ground, and their footsteps were not in a straight line, seemingly exhibiting some level of proficiency in Body Technique.
"Is that so, it’s dangerous, huh?"
Ree Shil thought to himself that surely these swarms of mosquitoes were the real danger.
"You are unaware, Plum Pile Lake conceals a natural Array.
If one doesn’t follow the specific steps, it’s easy to fall into a maze, going around in circles without end.
Outsiders unfamiliar with the situation often get lost."
With these words, Ree Shil began to understand.
No wonder he couldn’t find a way out; there was a maze indeed.
"Of course, the maze isn’t actually the most dangerous part.
Because if you take the Water route, you can bypass most of the tricky spots, and getting out is not difficult."
As Fishy spoke those words, his expression tightened, "The most dangerous thing in Plum Pile Lake... is the Lake King!"
"Lake King?"
Ree Shil raised an eyebrow out of curiosity.
"That’s right, the Lake King is the most powerful creature around Plum Pile Lake.
It occasionally attacks nearby hamlets.
Since it’s so strong, every time it forces the attacked hamlet to evacuate, causing everyone great distress.
So to keep safe, we come here every once in a while to offer sacrifices." freewebnoveℓ.com
Fishy explained.
Hearing this, Ree Shil noticed several people with empty hands.
They better not be up to some disgusting human sacrifice business.
"No, haha, you misunderstood, brother."
Fishy understood his gaze, waved his hand, and explained, "Our sacrifice is those mosquitoes you just saw.
"Oh? These mosquitoes, do they have some medicinal value?"
He had gone through several Instance Worlds, and the offering of mosquitoes was a first for him.
Wouldn’t both friend and foe rejoice? Mosquitoes were so annoying.
"No, they’re just ordinary Insect homes.
You Sheep Tribe folks probably don’t eat insects, but I must tell you responsibly, our Giant Mosquitoes are quite delicious.
Fried in oil and paired with a pot of Alcohol, tsk tsk.
Oh oh! Sorry, I got sidetracked."
Feeling the saliva almost dripping from his mouth, Fishy continued, "And these mosquitoes aren’t for the Lake King to eat, they are for it to...
We found out by accident that if we regularly supply female mosquitoes to the Lake King, it greatly decreases the chances of it attacking people and hamlets.
And after these mosquitoes mate and lay eggs, their quality and efficiency also increase."
"Hm? The Lake King is a mosquito?"
At this, Ree Shil suddenly had a thought.
"Yes, the Lake King is as big as a cow, with alternating striped patterns all over its body.
Its unique proboscis air cone technique is invincible. If it targets you, you’re pretty much doomed to injury or death."
Fishy grew more fearful as he spoke.
"Are you talking about this thing?"
Ree Shil promptly pulled out the roll of mosquito wings.
"Huh? What’s that?"
Fishy looked puzzled.
"Take a closer look."
