Chapter 1038: Chapter 1055: Effectiveness of the Insect Repellent Cream [2 Updates]
The black insects seemed to completely ignore Li Xue’er and Wu Kexin, just like they did before, showing no interest in them at all, and not attacking them.
Wu Kexin, Li Xue’er, and Guo Xuefeng were all stunned, realizing that Ye Feng had already anticipated that the black insects wouldn’t attack them, which was why when Li Xue’er and Wu Kexin were calling for help earlier, Ye Feng remained calm and didn’t show any intention to assist, knowing the insects wouldn’t target them.
"I understand now, it’s because Brother Ye Feng smeared the insect repellent cream on us earlier. The effect of Ye Feng’s cream made these bugs ignore us!" Wu Kexin realized excitedly at that moment.
"So that’s how it is!" Guo Xuefeng and Li Xue’er exclaimed with excitement, feeling immensely relieved at heart.
Especially Guo Xuefeng, who thought to himself, thankfully he chose Ye Feng’s insect repellent cream instead of Elder Yu’s.
Seeing Huang Chen and his subordinates being bitten by these black insects, their faces covered in purple welts, they felt a rush of relief as Huang Chen’s painful screams echoed continuously.
"Damn it, how could this happen, what’s going on?" Huang Chen was shocked seeing Li Xue’er and her group unworried, knowing that Elder Yu was a veteran of the Dragon Country Chinese Medicine Association.
Elder Yu’s formulated insect repellent cream ought to be effective, yet these insects had ignored it completely and attacked them, while Li Xue’er and the others, smeared with Ye Feng’s cream, were unharmed.
This was difficult for Huang Chen to accept, as Ye Feng, this obscure figure, managed to formulate insect repellent cream with better results than Elder Yu, a senior of the Dragon Country Chinese Medicine Association.
The black insects, continually biting, prompted Huang Chen to shout, "Isn’t there a fire gun in the bag? Get the fire gun out!"
Upon hearing Huang Chen, his subordinates quickly fetched the fire gun.
Subsequently, they endured the pain, pulling the trigger, and flames shot forth.
"Whish~~" Suddenly, the flames ignited, surging into the swarm of black insects, burning large areas of them, and soon, burning them to death. The insects seemed to sense danger.
As more of those insects were burned to death, the remaining black insects fled away.
In less than three minutes, those insects had almost escaped, leaving Huang Chen and his subordinates sitting on the ground, eyes filled with pain, feeling weak. Unlike Elder Yu, who was a Half-step Legend Grandmaster.
Elder Yu had the Protective Gang Qi, making it impossible for the black insects to harm him.
However, for Huang Chen and the others, lacking Protective Gang Qi, they were left helpless to the insects’ bites.
At this moment, Wu Kexin approached Huang Chen and the others, asking with concern, "Young Master Huang, are you all right?"
Young Master Huang replied awkwardly, breathing painfully, "Not fatal, let us rest for a while..."
Li Xue’er scolded, "Brother Ye Feng already warned you not to rush cutting the vines, but you wouldn’t listen; now look, you caused such a mess, regretting now, aren’t you..."
"Cough, cough~~~" Elder Yu’s face showed a hint of embarrassment as he coughed.
Huang Chen and his group regretted too, wishing they had listened to Ye Feng earlier, preventing their current predicament. Elder Yu felt deeply embarrassed, unsure of what to say.
At this moment, Huang Chen, blushing, asked, "President Wu, do you have any leftover insect repellent cream, give us some please..."
Now, Huang Chen and the others realized Elder Yu’s insect repellent cream was ineffective against the jungle’s toxic insects.
Clearly, Ye Feng’s cream worked better than Elder Yu’s, and with unpredictable insect encounters ahead, they thickened their skin to request some from Wu Kexin.
Wu Kexin reluctantly took the insect repellent cream Ye Feng had given her from her bag—a gift from him; she was quite reluctant to share. But she had no choice since Huang Chen and his team were companions on this journey and Huang Chen had asked, she couldn’t refuse.
Huang Chen accepted the cream eagerly, applying it hurriedly before passing it to his subordinates.
Once everyone applied Ye Feng’s insect repellent cream, they immediately felt much relief, a cooling sensation spreading over their faces.
Their skin, previously burning as if with fire, now felt comfortable, with no pain at all.
Furthermore, the swelling on their faces reduced significantly, leaving everyone amazed.
No one anticipated Ye Feng’s repellent cream not only had insect repellent effects but also relieved pain and reduced swelling.
Unable to hold back, Huang Chen’s subordinate remarked, "This insect repellent cream is amazing, much better than what Elder Yu gave us! Not only does it repel bugs, but it also relieves pain and swelling; if only we’d used it earlier!"
"Shut up!" Huang Chen immediately exploded with anger, yelling, "Idiot, what do you know? This cream just happens to ward off these strange insects; Elder Yu’s cream is effective as well, understand? Speak foolishly again and I’ll fire you!"
"I understand..." Immediately, Huang Chen’s subordinate shut his mouth, afraid to speak further.
Meanwhile, Elder Yu felt a wave of embarrassment, humiliated twice by Ye Feng.
Initially, he ignored Ye Feng’s warning, resulting in danger for Huang Chen’s group.
Moreover, they initially looked down on Ye Feng’s insect repellent cream, but ultimately, it proved more effective than Elder Yu’s.
At least, Elder Yu’s cream lacked the pain relief and anti-swelling effect, making Ye Feng’s formulation superior, causing Elder Yu’s anger to simmer against Ye Feng.
For Ye Feng, as a junior, had repeatedly humiliated him.
