Chapter 430 - Chapter 430: Chapter 422: Successfully Capturing the Original Body_1 (2/2)

Apart from that, Qin Niu only had over 28,000 Poisonous Ants left.

So within the valley, besides the Wing-Hiding Insect and the Poisonous Ants, if a third type of insect was discovered, it was highly likely to be the Mirage Insect’s true form.

“All Poisonous Ants, heed my command and start searching for insects other than the Wing-Hiding Insects immediately,”

Qin Niu’s command was very straightforward.

All the Poisonous Ants immediately sprang into action, searching all over the valley for insects other than the Wing-Hiding Insects.

Qin Niu had made up his mind that he would spare no expense of his Poisonous Ants today.

As long as he could find the Mirage Insect’s true body, he did not mind entering the Valley of Wronged Spirits again.

As time passed, the saying “there’s strength in numbers” proved to be equally applicable to the Termite.

One of the Poisonous Ants found the target.

It was a black insect hidden underground. Its size was not large, only as thick as an adult’s pinky finger.

“All Poisonous Ants, attack the target immediately,”

Qin Niu commanded the attack without caring whether the black insect was the Mirage Insect’s true form or not.

Better to err in killing than to let escape.

One after another, the Poisonous Ants fearlessly bit at the black insect.

Qin Niu noticed a stream of swiftly spinning dark energy moving quickly towards the location of the black insect.

Is it trying to save it?

It seemed that the black insect could very well be the Mirage Insect’s true form.

This insect had a strong resistance to the ants’ poison.

After all, it was an expert at handling poison itself.

Living every day in poisonous miasma, how could it not be formidable?

“Drag it out for me,” Qin Niu commanded.

Among Qin Niu’s Poisonous Ants, there were Puppet Ants and Ghost Ants, amounting to roughly over two thousand in number.

This was a formidable force.

If the poison attack was ineffective, what about a mental attack?

So far, no insect had been found to be immune to mental attacks.

More than two thousand Poisonous Ants capable of mental attacks launched their assault simultaneously, causing the Mirage Insect to roll on the ground in agony before being rapidly dragged out of the valley by the ants.

Even the rapidly spinning dark energy, including the giant insect within, seemed to be affected.

The speed of the dark energy’s rotation noticeably slowed down quite a bit, moving aimlessly like a headless fly, advancing at one moment and retreating the next.

Veering to the left and then to the right.

The giant insect inside was akin to an idiot, staying still and allowing the Green Demon Bee to seize the opportunity to attack.

Qin Niu was elated upon seeing this.

Had he known that mental attacks were so effective, he would have ordered the Poisonous Ants to use this method earlier.

Soon, the Mirage Insect’s true form was dragged out of the valley by the Poisonous Ants.

Qin Niu had already been waiting for a long time.

It was a peculiar creature emitting dark energy all over. Its body had visible tiny sparks of electricity flickering across it.

The entire length of the insect was about twelve to thirteen centimeters, as thick as a pinky finger, with a complex pattern on its body surface, and its back was relatively smooth. It lacked poisonous hairs or spikes.

For example, caterpillars often have black poisonous hairs on their back, which, if touched, cause unbearable itching immediately.

The backs of Green Thorn Moths are covered with poisonous spikes, touching them results in a burning pain as if on fire.

Even frogs that eat all sorts of insects would go around the Green Thorn Moth.

If a frog even managed to catch a Green Thorn Moth in its mouth, it would spit it out immediately.

This thing, a curse for whoever touches it.

The Mirage Insect at hand, apart from the complex patterns on its body, did not seem to possess anything extraordinary.

Even distinguishing its head from its tail was difficult.

It had no eyes, no mouthparts, and both ends looked eerily similar. Under its body, however, were two rows of suckers resembling insect legs.

Possibly due to the immense pain of the mental attack, the Mirage Insect continuously rolled, twisting its body, allowing Qin Niu to easily see its insect legs and abdomen.

“I’ll confine you first,” Qin Niu said.

He promptly shut it inside the Insect Jar.

After subduing the Fire Phoenix, his Spirit Space was nearly full; he could not tame a new pet. Unless his cultivation advanced and his spiritual power surged, only then would his Spirit Space expand again.
