Chapter 364: Chapter 357: Without Ruthlessness, You Can’t Stand Firm_1

“Little demon spawn, your methods are indeed fierce, and your mind is meticulous,”

the old man’s voice changed slightly as he spoke.

Also, his hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.

It wasn’t clear whether it was because his injuries were too severe, his body had gone too long without replenishing nutrients, or he hadn’t had proper rest, causing some weakness. Or perhaps, it was the effects of the Soul-Eroding Poison starting to take hold after being bitten by Fourth.

Qin Niu remained still, quietly observing the changes.

This old man, not only was his cultivation terrifyingly strong, but he was also extremely cunning and shameless.

Without absolute certainty, Qin Niu would never rashly risk making a sneak attack.

The old man’s gaze searched all around, but still, he found nothing.

He was well aware that Qin Niu was hiding somewhere in this mountainous region. But where exactly, he was unable to ascertain.

As the sky gradually darkened, the old man’s physical condition seemed to be getting worse. He could not find Qin Niu and was extremely unwilling to give up.

After all, he had been tricked too miserably by the young man.

If he hadn’t used multiple life-saving methods, he would have even perished on that high peak.

Having lived for so many years, yet being toyed with by a youngster, was absolutely a humiliation for him.

“Think you can hide from this old man if you don’t come out?”

As the old man opened his mouth and spat out, a spider, black as ink, emerged from his mouth and landed on the ground.

Qin Niu had seen the method of raising insects inside the body with Elder Jiu Yin.

The insects kept inside one’s body are usually the most important pets.

That black spider didn’t look very big, being only the size of a fingernail. Its abdomen was a bit like the common garden spider, round and plump, which made its back look a bit hunched.

It had not two eyes, but six.

A faint black aura lingered around its body, expanding and contracting as if it was breathing, inhaling and exhaling.

Such a little spider, yet it gave Qin Niu an extreme sense of danger.

It was unclear what species it was.

But the feeling was its level must certainly not be low.

“Fourth, are you confident you can eliminate that spider?”

Qin Niu asked Fourth.

“I’ll control it with the Puppet Ants in secret, and just a few Green-Scaled Worker Ants will be able to finish it off,” Fourth said confidently.

“That’s a very good idea, make preparations. You must be careful to stay concealed, as long as you’re safe, even if we sacrifice many more Termite ants, we can quickly recreate another ant colony,” Qin Niu stressed.

Qin Niu’s Termite colony now had three most special ants.

The Ant Queen, the War Demon Ant, and the Gold Devouring Ant.

Apart from these three, all other Termites could be mass-produced.

If sacrificing a portion of Termites could take down the old man’s lifebound insect, it would definitely be worth it.

Once the black spider landed on the ground, it raised its front legs as though it was detecting a scent.

Qin Niu had the Elephantic Ant on him, naturally not worried about it detecting his scent.

After the black spider detected for a while, it seemed to find nothing significant.

It quickly moved to another area and continued its sensing.

It was just in time to meet its demise. The spider actually moved close to where a dozen or so Tiger-striped Soldier Ants were hiding.

The old man, meanwhile, stood there with his eyes closed, motionless, gripping his treasured sword tightly.

Just waiting for the black spider to find its prey, then he would immediately raise his sword and go on a killing spree.

“Fourth, do it!”

Qin Niu gave the combat order.

One by one, the Puppet Ants hidden in the shadows, along with Fourth, exerted their psychic control and firmly restrained the black spider in place.

“Hmm?”

The old man seemed to have a psychic connection with the black spider.

The moment the spider was controlled, he sensed it and immediately opened his eyes, looking in the direction of the spider.

Just then, seventeen or eighteen Tiger-striped Soldier Ants swiftly crawled out.

Without hesitation, they descended upon the black spider, tearing and biting.
