Insect evolution’s venom attack is indeed the best strategy.
Due to their small size and weak bodies, the damage they can inflict with a single bite is limited.
If they possess potent venom, even a small ant could cause enormous damage to its enemies. The sheer intimidation factor would multiply exponentially.
Now that the Ant Queen can reproduce Toxic Ants at a 30% chance, this means the fighting power of the ant colony would significantly increase.
Why is the Green Demon Bee so fearsome?
Isn’t it because of its deadly venom? Just one sting from it, and even someone as powerful as the Seven Star Sect Master could perish.
Besides producing venomous Termite, the Ant Queen has gained two new innate abilities.
She can reproduce Healing Ants.
This is a very practical type of ant.
In battle, it’s inevitable that some Termite will get injured.
In such cases, having a Healing Ant to tend to them could prevent death and speedy recovery.
If I’m not mistaken, it must be the daily feeding of the broad-leaved Paris polyphy leaves to the Ant Queen that enabled it to evolve the ability to reproduce Healing Ants.
It also gained the ability to reproduce Zombie Ants.
This is a rather bizarre name.
It’s likely rted to it consuming arge number of Corpse Bees.
What are Zombie Ants like?
Do they move stiffly like zombies? Or do they possess zombie-like abilities?
He certainly hopes for thetter.
For every one hundred Termite produced, there’s a chance to get two Zombie Ants.
That’s still a fairly high probability.
Soon when the first batch of eggs hatches, he should be able to see.
Having just leveled up, the Ant Queen once again transformed into an eggying machine, incessantly producing ant eggs.
She is truly dedicated.
The Ant Queen’s advancement also made Qin Niu realize that the primary way to cultivate the Ant Queen is still to feed it high-quality food.
Termites are omnivorous creatures and are not picky eaters.
Poisonous or not, they’ll eat it all the same.
“Since the Ant Queen has evolved at this time, let’s postpone the hunt for Green Demon’s treasure. Prepare a bit more, and it will be safer and more likely to win when the timees.”
He was very aware that if Green Demon’s treasure were so easy to obtain, it would have been taken long ago.
After all, the mountains where Green Demon once lived have be a sacred site coveted by many Insect Masters.
Those whoe to capture powerful bee species are also endless.
For amon Insect Master, capturing even a bee species discarded by the Green Demon could be a life-changing achievement.
The Ant Queen’s crucial timing for leveling up almost felt predestined.
At that moment, Qin Niu sensed a disturbance emanating from the Green Silk Worm eggs he was carrying on his person.
Upon inspection, a radiant smile spread across his face.
They say misfortunes nevere singly, and happiness does note in pairs.
Today, however, is an exception, as good fortunes doubled.
The Green Silk Worm, incubated for many days, chose this moment to sessfully hatch.
Its body was extremely tiny, finer than a strand of hair, and very short, probably about one millimeter in length.
It was hard to see with the naked eye.
Qin Niu had long anticipated this insect.
As long as it’s raised properly, it could be used for undetected enemy surveince.
“Come, you may feed on my blood. From now on, you can lurk on top of my head.”
Qin Niu carefully ced it on his scalp.
After a moment, he felt an itching sensation on his scalp.
He knew the Green Silk Wormrva had begun to feed on his essence blood.
Green Silk Worm (Larva)
Grade: Grade Three Annelida, experience 1000/10000
Lifespan: Infinite
Energy: 1
Skills: Bloodsucking First Order 0.1/10, Venom Attack First Order 0.1/10 (paralysis, coagtion).
Talent: Parasitic, Spirit Communication
I feel it’s still pretty badass, being Grade Three just after birth.
You know, many insects can’t ever advance to Grade Three in their entire lifetime.
Its abilities are also quite straightforward, merely bloodsucking, venom, spiritmunication, and parasitic.
If we’re talking about the most impressive ability of the Green Silkworm, it has to be spiritmunication.
By using this ability, one can stealthily monitor anyone without them noticing.
The condition is not to be detected by the host.
A Grade Three Green Silk Worm is still not able toy eggs normally, only after advancing to Grade Four can ity eggs properly.
It is still in itsrval stage now.
Qin Niu, now being a strong person of the Innate Realm, allows it to suck his vital blood, which is enough to help it quickly advance and be stronger.
Raising this insect is indeed not much trouble.
The only downside is that it doesn’t control its venom well when bloodsucking, which easily results in the venom entering the host’s body and causing localized itching and swelling. Once it bes an adult, this should improve.
Days fly by, and Qin Niu spends every day cultivating and nurturing the Termite and the Ant Queen.
What worries him the most is Xiao Nui who still hasn’t woken up to this moment.
It has also be the one among Qin Niu’s many pets to have the longest evolution time.
Shuangfeng Vige has been peaceful these days.
How that strong character left the vige that night is still a mystery.
But since then, no one from the Nine Insect Gang hase by.
That’s a good thing.
Qin Niu thinks it is possible that the strong person left after the investigation turned up nothing.
Of course, this is just a guess.
About three or four days ago, the locust disaster, which had ceased for many days, suddenly became rampant again. This time, it was fiercer than ever before.
Even those rarer,rge locusts were appearing in groups of dozens.
The Yan Family is currently unable to hire any Insect Masters.
Because of sessive killings of Insect Masters within the ck Tiger Gang’s territory, those who survived have all hidden away.
They’re terrified of being discovered.
How could they possiblye out to make money at the risk of their lives?
You have to be alive to spend money after all.
The young master of the Yan Family personally requested Qin Niu’s assistance twice, only to be tactfully rejected both times.
Unable to hire an Insect Master, the Yan Family set their sights on the three thousand ducks Qin Niu had rented out.
The Yan Family knows about Qin Niu’s special rtionship with Tang Caixian of Daoyuan Vige, and with the Tang Family having an official of not insignificant rank, they knew the matter could only be negotiated.
The details of the talk are unclear.
The Yan Family convinced Daoyuan Vige to loosen up and agreed to terminate the duck rental at any moment.
Actually, with the locust disaster bing more severe, the ducks had limited effectiveness, after all.
This day, Qin Niu was at home, watching the Diamond Ink Turtle in his fishpond.
It spent its time yfully manipting the water in the pond when there was nothing else to do, having a st.
Aside from making the water in the fishpond churn, it had developed a new skill. It could control a stream of water to shoot out, just like a water gun, targeting objects.
Although the controlled water column wasn’trge and its power was very limited,
Qin Niu was very clear that once it perfected this ability, it would definitely be able to use it to attack enemies.
“May I ask if Master Qin is home?”
The voice of Tang Family’s old Chief came from outside the courtyard.
“Is that Chief Tang? Pleasee in!”
Qin Niu sent Xiao Qing to open the door and wee the guest into the house.
He had a vague guess about Chief Tang’s purpose foring.
Because the Yan Family had alreadymunicated with Qin Niu.
“Master Qin, we’ve been renting those three thousand ducks from you for some time now. The recent locust disaster is overly vicious, and the ducks are no longer holding back the defensive line. Fortunately, our Daoyuan Vige has already harvested the crops we needed to. Whatever is left, we’ll just let the locusts have their fill. Now, we’re prepared to return the ducks to their rightful owner.”
Chief Tang said, his voice trembling.
