Chapter 463 - Chapter 463: Chapter 455: All-Heaven Myriad Insects Formation_1 (2/2)

When he found this jade slip, he vaguely felt that it might contain the methods for setting up an Insect Formation.

Before it was confirmed, there was still an element of uncertainty.

Now that his conjecture had proven true, having learned the All-Heaven Myriad Insects Formation would absolutely be like adding wings to a tiger.

In future battles against formidable enemies, as long as he deployed the Insect Formation, he could immediately enhance his Insect Pets’ combat power by tenfold.

If his Green Demon Bees could be massively reproduced, reaching a quantity of thirty-six or more, the power of the Insect Formation would be terrifyingly formidable, almost beyond imagination.

Qin Niu was a pragmatist who also did not fuss over the exhaustion from traveling, and after learning the Insect Formation, he immediately summoned thirty-six Termites, directing Fourth to lead them to arrange into formation at specific positions.

Since the Insect Formation would be in constant motion, setting it up was much more difficult than ordinary formations.

After taking their positions, they still needed repeated drills to maintain the correctness of their placement at all times.

Otherwise, the Insect Formation would collapse without even being attacked.

The drilling of the entire Insect Formation could be divided into four stages. The most basic level was to draw lines, and having each Termite stand in its spot was enough to form the Insect Formation.

The second stage was to have them move uniformly forward or backward after they had become familiar with their respective positions. It was crucial that all thirty-six Termites moved together, and the position of each Termite could not be in disarray.

To achieve this was extremely difficult.

To prevent the Insect Formation from breaking due to the death of any Termite or incorrect positioning during battle, the base number of thirty-six Termites could be doubled. When the number reached seventy-two, each Termite would have a substitute.

In case a Termite died in battle or failed to take the correct position in time, a substitute Termite could replace it.

Thus, the Insect Formation would become even more stable.

Qin Niu was confident that after repeated drills, the Termites could meet the requirements of the second stage.

At the very least, they would be able to move freely, keeping the Insect Formation from chaos.

The third stage was even more difficult. It involved hundreds, or even thousands, of insects forming an array, both on the ground and in the air.

Moreover, there needed to be formations within formations, countless small formations within a large formation.

For example, there could be thirty-six groups of Insect Pets, positioned into a large Insect Formation. Then, each group of Insect Pets would form a small formation.

To reach this stage, all insect groups had to coordinate in unison and cooperate seamlessly.

Anyone who has studied management knows that the more people there are, the harder it is to manage.

The same is true for insect groups.

At the fourth stage, once the insect groups were familiar with the positions of the All-Heaven Myriad Insects Formation, they could freely change the formation. Dispersed they formed an array, together they also formed an array.

When scattered, each insect group was an independent Insect Formation.

They could even resonate with other insect groups from a distance, forming a super-large Insect Formation.

When gathered, they were still an Insect Formation.

Or they could be multiple Insect Formations stacking together, merging into one.

By that point, to gather or disperse at will, to form a formation however one desired, it would be quite perfect.

However, to reach this stage was incredibly challenging.

The ‘Formation Eye’ of the Insect Formation needed to become an excellent commander, and the ‘Formation Eyes’ of the smaller formations also needed to be equally excellent. Then, when commanding the entire insect group, not a single insect could fall out of line; all had to proficiently obey the commands.

It was even necessary to consider the varying strengths and weaknesses of the different insects, their crawling speeds, flying capabilities, and so on.

Qin Niu was not one for unrealistic dreams; he decided to start with the most basic drills.

He believed that with sufficient training and Fourth’s exceptional intelligence, the Insect Formation would undoubtedly get better and better.
