Chapter 356: Chapter 349: Fourth’s New Abilities After Advancement_1

“`

Arriving at the spot where the jar was buried, he faintly heard the sound of liquid churning inside the jar, “gurgle, gurgle”.

He guessed that a few trapped Gu were desperately trying to drill their way out.

The commotion from these Gu indicated that they either had absorbed all the energy from the blood, or the culprit behind the scenes was summoning them?

Qin Niu was prepared for the worst. If he truly couldn’t save those Gu, he would have to destroy them.

He wouldn’t hesitate to throw the jar, along with them, directly into the labyrinth of the Ancient Banyan Tree.

He couldn’t possibly let that person take them away.

Time felt unbearably long at that moment.

Every second was torture.

He worried about the enemy invading his home, harming his wives and concubines, and he also feared that the enemy would follow the scent of the Blood Gu to find their way here.

If those who came were from the Innate Realm, even if three or four of them showed up, he was confident he could keep them in the mountains forever.

But if a Spirit Qi Realm expert came, his situation would be dangerous.

Just as his anxiety was mounting, he noticed something amiss with Fourth.

He took Fourth out of the Hundred Treasures Insect Bag.

At this moment, the blood cocoon still covered Fourth, but it had successfully broken through it.

A tiny crack appeared at the tip of the blood cocoon, and then Fourth’s powerful mandibles nibbled a small hole in it.

It quickly devoured the blood cocoon, and soon, most of its head was exposed.

A caterpillar breaks out of its cocoon and becomes a butterfly.

After this life-threatening ordeal, what kind of progress had Fourth made?

It seemed to have advanced in grade.

Blood-veins appeared on its forehead.

It rapidly consumed the entire blood cocoon, waving its horn at Qin Niu.

As if boasting to its master about its triumph over a formidable enemy.

Its body size had only grown slightly, and its six legs had become a bit more muscular. The rest of its body now exhibited some dark red blood-veins. Other than that, there were no significant changes.

He checked its attributes.

One Grade Six Ironclad Battle Demon Ant (extremely rare species), lifespan 300 years, special abilities (Divine Power, Flash Strike, Advanced Armor Break, Soul Eroding Poison, Medium Intelligence++, Basic Self-Healing, possesses Advanced Carapace, Morphing Ability that allows its body to move like smoke. Demonization allows for a fivefold increase in speed, tenfold increase in attack power, and fivefold increase in defense power under the demonized state). Spirit Control that has a certain chance to control enemies of the same grade or below.

After seeing Fourth’s new abilities post-advancement, Qin Niu broke into a wide smile.

Fortune favors the bold.

It had devoured the Blood Gu and almost succumbed to its backlash.

Now, having defeated its enemy, it had jumped two grades in one fell swoop and became a Grade Six insect.

Its special abilities and lifespan had undergone a qualitative improvement.

Its lifespan had jumped from the previous 30.5 years to 300 years.

With such an extended lifespan, it would have ample time to pursue longevity alongside Qin Niu.

Its armor-breaking ability had also moved up a grade.

It had gone from a regular Armor Break to Advanced Armor Break.

As for its Divine Power and Flash Strike, it meant that its strength was now greater than before, and its attack speed was as swift and fierce as lightning.

The poison had not changed much.

It was still the Soul Eroding Poison.

Then, its intelligence had improved.

And it had acquired a Basic Self-Healing ability.

This was a very important ability, allowing it to quickly recover after being injured.

Having consumed so many Taiyin Yaoyao corpses, it all proved worthwhile.

Even though most were fed to the Ant Queen, it had absorbed some of the nutrients itself.

At a glance, the Basic Self-Healing ability might not seem very powerful, and similar effects could be achieved through the Healing Ant’s treatment. But having this self-healing ability laid a foundation.

If this ability could be further enhanced in the future, it could eventually hope to possess a regenerative ability similar to Taiyin Yaoyao.

The most surprising was its Morphing Ability.

It was a super awesome new ability.
