Peng Haibing focused all his attention on the Fire Cloud Tree before him. A layer of white brilliance densely filled his pupils as he employed a secret technique, striving to investigate the abnormalities on the tree.
Though this secret technique of his was nowhere near as mysterious and extraordinary as Meng Zhao's Emperor's Qi Gazing Technique, it still had its merits in observation and dynamic vision tracking. Especially in Dark Night, it granted him vision as clear as day.
Only after employing this technique did he discover in horror that swaying up and down with the breeze on the enormous Fire Cloud Tree were not merely leaves like clouds of fire, but countless tiny snake-like insects clinging to the leaves, their color identical to that of the foliage.
With that single glance, Peng Haibing, a peak Innate expert, broke out in goosebumps all over. The terrifying density of them made him feel somewhat nauseated.
The reason he could not determine whether they were snakes or insects was simply that they were too far away, and there were too many of the damned things, occupying most of the Fire Cloud Tree's leaves. Their colors intermingled with the leaves, making their true forms impossible for him to distinguish.
If there had merely been a great number of them, Peng Haibing would not have been so afraid. Ants could bite an elephant to death, but they could not bite to death an Innate Limit expert like him. With one sweep of true qi, he could kill tens of thousands of insects.
