Chapter 389: Chapter 381: Is the Demon Bird Cultivating?_1

Just as Qin Niu was getting excited watching, the fiery red Demon Bird flew towards the other side of the peak.

Based on its flight direction and distance, it should have landed on a mountain behind the high peak.

Qin Niu had never crossed over this high peak, and he was unclear about what lay on the other side of the mountain.

“With the Demon Bird leaving the peak, wouldn’t those twenty-plus termites have a chance to strike? It seems he also has the opportunity to enter the mountain.”

At this thought, he became excited.

Normally, as the Demon Bird guarded its nest, any termites daring to approach would be burnt to ashes instantly.

Now that it had flown away from this high peak, the termites’ opportunity had also arrived.

Qin Niu quietly stared at the high peak in front of him.

At this moment, it should be safe to sneak into this high peak.

But he didn’t dare to enter the mountain lightly.

Elder Mei, when facing this Demon Bird, had many life-saving tricks up his sleeve, and his cultivation was much stronger than that of Qin Niu. He managed to escape with his life in the end.

That didn’t mean Qin Niu could escape as well.

“This matter can’t be rushed. I must first thoroughly understand the Demon Bird’s habits before taking any action.”

Qin Niu was always cautious in his actions.

He would never dare to risk his life recklessly.

Although Demon Bird feathers were very precious, they were worth nothing compared to his life.

He lay quietly in the tree, still as a bird perched in the treetop.

All things have spirit.

Perhaps because a Demon Bird lived on the peak ahead, no other fierce beasts could be seen nearby, including the commonly found snakes in the mountains.

Time flew by swiftly.

The termites Qin Niu sent into the mountain were stealthily on the move.

Some were exploiting the cover of night to scout around, others were helping the termite that had found the Demon Bird feather to transport it down the mountain.

The termites he sent out, even the most ordinary ones, were at least Grade Three.

After all, the Ant Queen was now a Grade Six Ant Queen. Any ant eggs it laid, as long as they hatched, would be at least Grade Three young ants.

With the nourishment of Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, they could easily evolve to Grade Four.

Some, after being nurtured a second time, could even reach Grade Five.

The ones sent into the mountain were more common ant species. The more precious termites, like Demon Ants and Elephantic Ants, he really didn’t want to send out.

After the Demon Bird had flown away, a long time passed without it returning.

The mountain was silent, without a sound of birds or beasts.

It was almost two and a half hours later, and it was now approaching midnight.

Qin Niu felt a slight stirring in his heart. The first termite that had found the Demon Bird feather, with the help of a dozen Zombie Ants, had successfully transported the feather to halfway up the mountain.

The long absence of the Demon Bird had also eased Qin Niu’s tense nerves a bit.

He had sneaked up to the mountainside in the middle of the night before.

There had been no danger last time.

The most dangerous part of this mountain peak was the summit.

“I need to give the termites a hand!”

Qin Niu immediately slid down the tree and then stealthily moved towards the mountainside ahead.

Just like the last time he entered the mountain, he encountered no obstacles.

There might be birds resting in the trees, but as long as they were not startled, there would generally be no trouble.

In the pitch darkness of night, ordinary birds are almost blind.

It is only birds like owls, eagles, falcons, and ospreys that possess night vision.

Qin Niu went straight towards the location of the Demon Bird feather.

The termites were struggling to transport it.

Thankfully, even the weakest termite was a Grade Three termite with great strength, which allowed them to drag the Demon Bird feather.

Finally, he successfully met up with the termites.

“Alright, you’ve worked hard. Leave the Demon Bird feather to me.”

Qin Niu picked up the Demon Bird feather from the ground.

This feather was nearly half a foot long and three inches wide, fiery red all over.
