Chapter 335: Chapter 328: Cultivating a Group of Termite Breeding Experts_1

After examining the Ant Queen’s attributes, Qin Niu’s expectations for this nest of termites inadvertently rose a few notches.

The innate abilities of the Ant Queen were steadily growing stronger, and the termite offspring she could breed were also becoming increasingly formidable.

Moreover, the variety of ant species kept increasing.

As long as he raised this nest of termites well, even if he became an Immortal Master in the future, he could still rely on the termites to wreak havoc in all directions.

On the ground, there should not be many insects capable of battling the termites.

The termites could even leverage their numerical superiority to directly confront large fierce beasts. In an extremely short span of time, they could easily gnaw a beast down to its skeleton.

He began to nurture the newly hatched termites.

This task had now become quite easy, for as long as he provided enough Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, the worker ants could take care of it.

He even considered whether he could start feeding the worker ants Ancient Banyan Tree Blood from the moment the young ants hatched.

However, this matter needed to be conducted with a plan.

If done too hastily, it could easily result in major losses.

Firstly, he needed to train a batch of worker ants dedicated to feeding the young ants Banyan Tree Blood. They would only be responsible for this one task, without having to engage in other work.

In this way, they would become ‘nurturing experts.’

With accumulated experience in feeding each young ant, they could precisely control the amount.

They might even be safer than the dosages Qin Niu calculated.

The second point, currently he only allowed them to nurture ordinary worker and soldier ants. For precious ant species like Healing Ants, Elephantic Ants, and Demon Ants, it was more appropriate for Qin Niu to set the nurturing dosage one-on-one.

At least until these ‘nurturing experts’ gained sufficient experience, they must not be allowed to nurture at will.

Qin Niu was a man of action; as soon as he had the idea, he began to implement it.

He carefully selected a batch from the worker ants, a total of ten Grade Three Lightning Worker Ants, to be solely responsible for nurturing newly hatched ordinary young ants from now on.

Since it was the first experiment, he was extremely cautious.

If it didn’t work out, he would be able to stop the losses in time.

The ten carefully selected Lightning Worker Ants were not only gentle-natured and more patient than other termites but also slightly more intelligent than ordinary termites.

The experiment began swiftly.

The ten Lightning Worker Ants fed the newly hatched young ants.

After consuming the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, seven young ants died on the spot from bodily explosion. Of the remaining three, two also succumbed to bodily explosion soon after.

Their bodies were too fragile.

Having just hatched, their skin was extremely tender.

They also had very little capacity to withstand pressure.

After taking the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, their bodies simply couldn’t withstand that wild surge of energy.

The loss of nine young ants made Qin Niu quite distressed.

His gaze was firmly fixed on the last surviving young ant.

Its small body was expanding, and fine cracks could even be faintly seen on its nearly transparent skin.

Qin Niu had already braced himself for a total loss.

As time trickled by, that young ant miraculously pulled through the life-and-death threshold.

Once past that threshold, it could generally complete the evolution smoothly.

All that was left was to wait patiently for a day or two to see what level it would ultimately evolve to.

“The success rate of nurturing newly hatched young ants is terrifyingly low, but what if I nurture ants that hatched three days ago?”

Qin Niu was very clear that if a young ant was successfully nurtured in this way, it proved that this path was feasible.

In the future, his cultivation would grow higher, and he might need to enter seclusion for a month or two, even a year or two, during which time the cultivation of the termites would come to a halt.

Moreover, every time he personally nurtured young termites, it took up a considerable amount of time.

If he could save this time and cultivate under the Ancient Banyan Tree instead, his cultivation would certainly improve much faster.
