Chapter 357: Chapter 350: The Use of Fireflies_1
“Go, devour it for me!”
Qin Niu randomly chose a War Bee and instructed it to consume the mother Gu.
Who knew that the moment the War Bee approached, it got so scared that it flew away, flapping its wings.
It was no match for the Blood Gu at all.
“You could be even more worthless!”
Qin Niu shook his head as he watched, thinking that aside from making honey, bees were truly useless.
It seemed that in the future, it would be better not to force them into combat roles.
“Demon Ants, it’s your lucky day.”
Qin Niu directly chose two Demon Ants, allowing each of them to devour a Blood Gu.
It was a pity that the Gold Devouring Ant had not finished evolving; otherwise, letting it consume one might have solved its longevity issue.
The Gold Devouring Ant was as rare as the War Demon Ant, and its abilities couldn’t be too weak.
It was still evolving after the last feeding of the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood.
Besides, it was still immature, a young ant, and whether it could defeat the Blood Gu was an unknown.
It was better not to rush this matter.
The two Demon Ants, upon receiving his command, couldn’t wait to pounce on the Blood Gu. White ants might look fragile, but they were fierce.
They had a very strong sense of territoriality.
Any creature daring to invade their nest would suffer the most violent of attacks.
The two Blood Gu behaved the same as the one Fourth had consumed.
They allowed the Demon Ants to consume them, then attempted to counter-devour.
However, they clearly underestimated the will and ability of the Demon Ants. While they might not be a match for the War Demon Ants, the Demon Ants were never afraid of ordinary bugs.
Moreover, their performance was always impressive.
After the Demon Ants consumed the two Blood Gu, they quickly formed into blood cocoons.
It was as if they were copying the process of Fourth consuming the Blood Gu all over again.
“Might as well take care of them all.”
Following the same method, Qin Niu released two Blood Gu at a time, then had the Puppet Ants take control of them.
Soon after, he had the Demon Ants consume them.
He quickly processed all the Blood Gu.
Eleven Gu came out of the jar in total, plus the one that Fourth had consumed, making twelve.
This also meant that six women had become victims.
They were used as vessels to carry the Gu.
Aside from Wang Haikun’s wife, whom Qin Niu managed to save just in time, the other five unfortunate women had likely met their fatal ends.
In these chaotic times, human lives were as insignificant as grass.
Having dealt with all the Blood Gu, Qin Niu also let out a slight sigh of relief.
This time, even if the Gu Master behind the scenes came looking for him, he wouldn’t be afraid.
After all, the Blood Gu had been dealt with, and the other party had no ability to summon them back.
Just then, the Termite he had placed on the outskirts of the mountain sent out a warning.
It signified that someone had intruded.
His heart instantly tensed, calculating the timing, it could very well be that the Gu Master was following the scent of the Blood Gu deep into the mountains.
He just didn’t know the level of cultivation of the person approaching.
Qin Niu looked at the jar, now only containing blood water, and a plan formed in his mind.
He could perhaps use the jar as bait to lure the comer into the Ancient Banyan Tree Maze.
He decided to bury the jar at the edge of the maze, then covered it with some branches and underbrush.
After completing these preparations, he chose a concealed spot at some distance and stealthily hid himself.
It wasn’t long before faint noises could be heard in the mountains,
rapidly approaching the location where Qin Niu had buried the jar.
At that moment, under the moonlight, he could see a blurry shadow moving at high speed towards the position of the jar.
Large wild animals typically charge through the mountains, crashing and smashing; underbrush falls, and small trees and branches are broken off.
