Chapter 445: Chapter 437 Brotherhood’s United Defense_1
Unfortunately, those poison bees seemed bewitched, completely ignoring his commands and swarming towards the Green-Head Summoning Bee instead.
Qin Niu, upon witnessing this sight, felt a surge of secret delight, yet he was also deep in thought.
Like Elder Wu Shanle, he controlled ant swarms, bee swarms, and other insect pets by subduing the queen insect and utilizing the blood connection between the queen and its offspring for control.
In the art of Insect Control Technique, this indirect manipulation is known as secondary control.
Secondary control is quite common.
Its benefit is the conservation of a great deal of spirit space, allowing Insect Masters to tame more insect pets. Another point is that during combat against enemies, an Insect Master need only issue orders to the queen insect.
After receiving the commands, the queen or mother insect will then relay orders to its offspring.
The master can also issue direct combat orders to the offspring.
However, when the number of offspring is too large, this becomes unfeasible. Issuing orders often involves communication between the spirit and the offspring, consuming spiritual power.
A few or perhaps a few dozen could still be manageable.
But when the number of offspring reaches tens of thousands or even millions, it’s more than what an Insect Master can endure.
Even an Insect Master at the Spirit Qi Realm level couldn’t possess such immense spiritual power.
While secondary control has many advantages, it also leaves flaws for enemies to exploit. For example, presently, Qin Niu’s Green-Head Summoning Bee is using both summoning and enticing skills, instantly overpowering Elder Wu Shanle, the bee swarm’s master.
The bee swarm no longer obeys its master but responds to the signals sent out by the Green-Head Summoning Bee.
Imagine, if Qin Niu in the future were to battle a formidable enemy who possessed such ‘usurping’ techniques, couldn’t they reverse-control Qin Niu’s ant swarm and have it attack him instead?
After this war concludes, he must consult Chairman Li and Master He Shan in earnest.
At this moment, he cleverly broke through Elder Wu Shanle’s bee formation using the Green-Head Summoning Bee, and naturally, he would strike while the enemy was down.
“Wart Toad, attack!”
Qin Niu issued another command to the Red-eyed Golden Toad.
“Fourth, lead the ant swarm and try to attack the bee swarm again!”
No sooner had the order been given than Fourth sent back good news.
“Success, success!”
A poison bee flew in front of Qin Niu and then stopped.
Qin Niu flicked his finger towards it.
Pop.
The poison bee instantly turned into ash.
The strength of an Innate Realm expert was already terrifying. A simple flick of the finger possessed enough power to instantly shatter even a stone.
“It seems these poison bees are not as formidable as imagined! Their strength lies in forming the bee array.”
Qin Niu concluded.
The Red-eyed Golden Toad began to gorge itself, swallowing the poison bees like a mythical glutton.
Its long tongue was like a ghost, or a dark red flash of lightning, darting out and then rolling back with several poison bees, swallowing them down. Then, the tongue darted out again.
Qin Niu’s Termite Army, which had just suffered heavy casualties and had been firmly suppressed by the bee array, had long been simmering with pent-up fury.
Once the bee array broke, they immediately launched the most ferocious retaliation against the poison bee swarm.
Many poison bees fell to the ground after succumbing to mental attacks and were then torn apart and eaten by numerous Soldier Ants or Worker Ants.
Elder Wu Shanle watched his prized insect pets being slaughtered by Qin Niu, his heartache twisting his expression.
Desperate to recall the poison bees, he nearly shattered his whistle blowing it, all to no avail.
“I’m going all out against you!”
Seeing the increasing casualties among the poison bees, Elder Wu Shanle became desperate.
