Chapter 384 - Chapter 384: Chapter 376 The Gorgeous Array of Insect Pets_1 (2/2)

The offspring of the Green Silk Worm, like the adult worms, look exactly like human hair from the outside. They could easily be parasitized onto an enemy’s head without the enemy even realizing it.
His Green Demon Bees were also growing rapidly.
Their appetite was quite large, requiring the feeding of two to three steel-winged wild bee generals’ carcasses a day.
However, the significant investment yielded a satisfying return.
The size of the Green Demon Bee had grown to that of a knife handle.
When it flapped its wings to fly, it came without a shadow and left without a trace, giving the impression that its speed could match that of the peregrine falcon, the king of birds in flight.
Of course, that might be a bit of an exaggeration.
After all, the top flight speed of a peregrine falcon could reach 380 kilometers per hour.
In fact, scientists have tested that the maximum flight speed of the peregrine falcon can reach 389 kilometers per hour.
Most birds, once targeted by it, have little chance of escaping.
Even the white eagle, known as the king of the skies, is no match for it.
The peregrine falcon, in the air, can easily provoke or bully other birds of prey, even those ten times its size.
It all comes down to its incredibly swift flight speed.
And its talons are also terrifying, easily piercing through the heads of its prey, achieving instant kills.
And these are truly instant kills.
Even if the speed of the Green Demon Bee doesn’t match that of the peregrine falcon, in the insect world, it would be difficult to find an opponent that could compete with it.
Unless one considers those exceptionally incredible mystical insects from the ‘Mystical Insects List.’
Qin Niu watched as its size grew day by day and felt joy in his heart, but he was also somewhat anxious.
Because finding a ‘husband’ for the Green Demon Bee was proving to be extremely difficult.
It was hard to find a male bee of the same grade.
If it really came down to it, he might have to try letting it reproduce asexually.
However, according to Qin Niu’s beekeeping experience, female bees that did not undergo sexual reproduction would likely produce male offspring.
That wouldn’t do.
Male bees were all style and no substance, the lazy ‘Cowherds’ that only looked good.
They lacked stingers and their combat prowess was abysmal.
Almost any bee could easily chase them into a panicked scramble.
It would be best to find an excellent ‘husband’ for this Green Demon Bee.
Of the bee species Qin Niu had come into contact with, the two closest to the Green Demon Bee in terms of breed were the Corpse Bee and the Steel-winged Wild Bee.
Both these bee species were strong.
He prepared to take a two-pronged approach.
On one hand, he planned to cultivate male bees from the Corpse and Steel-winged Wild Bee species, and on the other hand, he intended to search far and wide for formidable bee species.
Whether it meant buying them or capturing them in the wild, he was open to either option.
With thousands of Puppet Ants and Ghost Ants at his disposal, capturing even the most formidable wild bees would be a breeze.
Moreover, with the Green Demon Bee as his ace in the hole, there was no need to worry about the wild bees escaping once discovered.
He also didn’t neglect the cultivation of the Black Spider Gu.
The Black Spider Gu had a particular craving for all kinds of potent poisons.
To satisfy it, Qin Niu had the Green Demon Bee secrete venom for it to consume.
It should be noted that the venom of the Green Demon Bee could even kill an Immortal Master.
It was absolutely a super existence among venoms.
The Black Spider Gu only dared to consume a little bit at a time. Despite its immunity to hundreds of poisons, it remained extraordinarily cautious and careful when faced with the Green Demon Bee’s venom.
After eating the venom of the Green Demon Bee, the body of the Black Spider Gu became even shinier and more black.
Presumably, its venom had also become even more fearsome.
Thus, Qin Niu now had two types of poisonous insects that could confront powerful enemies.
Once Fourth’s Soul Eroding Poison evolved further, he would have venom from three types of poisonous insects that could take on opponents in the Spirit Qi Realm, and even against Immortal Masters.
Time passed in such a leisurely and unhurried manner.
That day, Qin Niu returned home from practicing in the mountains with his two wives and Xiao Qing.
Young Master Yan of the Yan Family had come over with Steward Yan Qi.
