Chapter 444: Chapter 436 Clever Breakthrough_1

It poked its head out a bit from the basket and lay on Qin Niu’s back, peeking out with half of its head.

Just at that moment, the swarm of bees rushed towards Qin Niu again.

Like lightning, it shot out its long tongue, targeting a Poison Stinger, ready to capture it.

But the strike of its tongue came up empty.

Keep in mind that the Red-eyed Golden Toad’s capture skill is as high as Grade Seven. Moreover, it has been catching insects for food since it was young; this is its bread-and-butter skill for eating. How could it miss capturing a Grade Four or so Poison Stinger at such a close distance? How is that possible?

“Master, this swarm of bees is very strange! It’s like a single entity. When my tongue wrapped around one of them, it was as though I had wrapped around a mountain,”

The Red-eyed Golden Toad tried hard to describe its capturing experience.

No wonder it failed to capture its target.

The Poison Stinger it aimed for merged with the entire swarm into one entity. When its tongue wrapped around it, the entire swarm tumbled, and the Golden Toad’s tongue couldn’t possibly hold on to the target.

It seems I need to find a way to break the Insect Formation.

Qin Niu didn’t expect the two Insect Masters sent by Master He Shan and Chairman Li to be of much help.

“A mere swarm of bees, daring to be so presumptuous, annihilate it!”

The two Insect Masters sent by Chairman Li were both around forty years old with not weak cultivation. They seemed to have reached the pinnacle of the Innate Realm.

The two men looked quite similar and were likely a pair of twin brothers.

The insects used by the slightly plumper Insect Master on the left were a group of Bear Bees.

Their bodies were enormous, each the size of a chicken egg, buzzing loudly as they flapped their wings.

Like a fleet of bombers.

The bodies of these Bear Bees were densely covered with fur, each strand gleaming with a metallic luster, making them resemble flying hedgehogs.

Bear Bees have one major weakness: they rarely live in colonies, primarily leading solitary lives.

There are only three to five Bear Bees even in the occasional colony.

Yet this Insect Master managed to compensate for this weakness and released a swarm of five to six hundred Bear Bees, forming a large, impressive, and dark mass in the sky like a big flock of birds.

Their momentum was quite astonishing.

To consolidate Bear Bees into a colony is no easy task.

Moreover, these Bear Bees have clearly undergone multiple rounds of evolution and have some impressive mutations.

Their mandibles are like two iron pincers, as if they could easily tear through the hardest of shells.

And the long brown Poison Stinger at their tail end moved in and out, contracting and extending.

Just looking at it chilled one to the bone.

The grade of these Bear Bees was at least Grade Five, and that was a very conservative estimate.

If compared to the body size of the Corpse Bee generals and the Steel-winged Wild Bee, these Bear Bees were slightly larger. Their grade might not be Grade Five but Grade Six.

The thought of five to six hundred Grade Six Bear Bees was terrifying.

It seems that the Insect Masters of the Black Tiger Gang are not as weak as one might have imagined, with hidden dragons and crouching tigers among them.

Because their status is still not as high as Chairman Li’s.

Power is respected everywhere.

This also indirectly suggests their abilities as Insect Masters are weaker than Chairman Li’s.

The other, thinner Insect Master controlled a group of longicorn beetles.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that longicorn beetles are also from the order Coleoptera; they have two long antennae like the tails of wild roosters and a slender build that gives them quite a ‘general’ look.

In reality, longicorn beetles are among the weakest in the order Coleoptera.

Even the often-disrespected dung beetle or the smaller Seven-spot Ladybird can bully these big longicorn beetles.

Longicorn beetles are like the proverbial silver spearheads that are not actually usable.

Generally, nobody wants to raise longicorn beetles as Insect Pets.

After all, apart from personal preferences, practical use must be considered when raising insects.

Raising a bunch of useless waste Insect Pets that can’t beat anyone, how do you acquire cultivation resources? How do you make money? How do you gain a higher status?

These are very real issues.

If this guy is raising a whole bunch of longicorn beetles as Insect Pets and his head isn’t messed up, then these longicorn beetles must possess some special abilities.

Although longicorn beetles have poor fighting ability and can’t beat other Coleoptera insects, they are the bane of most trees.

Their larvae have a unique ability: boring.

Longicorn beetle larvae can bore into the heartwood of trees, then eat their way through.
