Chapter 334: Chapter 327: Grade Six Ant Queen_1
As it continued to suck blood, its body didn’t get fatter, but its tail rapidly excreted a large amount of greasy substance.
If it landed on an enemy’s head, the chances of being discovered were almost negligible.
Qin Niu finished feeding the Green Silk Worm and then took out a Green Demon Bee to check on it.
It had completely devoured the Corpse Bee’s egg and its body had clearly developed a lot.
These past few days, the Worker Bees must have taken good care of it.
It was uncertain how long it would take to transform into an adult.
The Green Demon Bee’s original form should be that of a wasp.
A wasp’s growth is divided into four stages, egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
It was currently in the larval stage and was growing rapidly by the day.
Once it pupates, it will be close to becoming an adult.
Qin Niu’s own Cultivation Technique was not suited for combat, and during his growth, he would inevitably encounter various strong enemies and dangers. This was something every cultivator would experience.
Having a few powerful insects and pets to help him fend off enemies was an ideal defensive strategy.
The Green Demon Bee was so legendary, its combat abilities were bound to be exceptional.
Qin Niu had high hopes for it.
This time, using a Secret Technique, he allowed it to devour a Corpse Bee’s egg. If their abilities could complement each other, that would be perfect.
“Take good care of it and strive for it to pupate soon.”
Qin Niu specifically arranged for a few War Bees to feed the Green Demon Bee larvae to ensure it would pupate as soon as possible.
At the same time, the War Bees feeding it would also benefit.
Because the fresh blood they consumed was from cultivators in the Spirit Qi Realm, and that was something valuable.
After cultivating the Green Demon Bee, Qin Niu, concerned about the Ant Queen in the mountains, hurried to check on the Ant Queen without delay.
As soon as he arrived, he noticed a significant restlessness within the ant colony.
His heart leapt with quiet joy; without any surprises, the Ant Queen had finally made another breakthrough and evolution after eating the bodies of nine Taiyin Yaoyaos and a large number of Grade Four and Five insect corpses.
“Master, are you alright? Yesterday, I sensed danger befalling you.”
The Ant Queen was the first to send him a greeting.
Qin Niu returned Fourth to the Ant Nest, and the restless ant colony immediately became calm.
Fourth was the ruler of the ant colony.
He could be called an uncrowned king.
Normally, each termite colony has one Ant Queen and one King Ant; they are spouses.
Moreover, from the Ant Queen’s nuptial flight, once it chooses a male ant, the couple will find a hidden location to build a nest and then seal up the nest to breed children without shame or irritation.
The King Ant’s position is not for life.
That’s because the life span of a King Ant is not as long as that of an Ant Queen.
Termites can hardly be called model spouses, as they have a very cruel elimination mechanism.
Once the King Ant’s mating ability weakens, it is easily eliminated.
The Worker Ants will no longer feed it, letting it starve to death.
Not just the King Ant, even if an Ant Queen’s breeding ability weakens, it can also be eliminated by the colony.
When exterminators dig into termite nests built underground, they often find the shriveled corpses of Ant Queens that have starved to death.
In their mad rush to breed children, they let their bodies become increasingly fatter.
Especially their abdomens, swelling roundly to the point where even crawling becomes extremely difficult.
They can only lie still in the Ant Queen’s chamber within the nest, laying eggs every second that counts.
The termite colony Qin Niu raised had evolved far beyond any ordinary termite.
The Ant Queen had evolved into a special termite, and Fourth had evolved into a War Demon Ant, both extremely scarce species in this world.
“I’m alright now. Have you advanced in rank?”
Qin Niu shared a slight spiritual bond with the Ant Queen.
Yesterday, when faced with an encirclement by many powerful members of the He Family, facing a life-and-death test, even the Ant Queen sensed it.
But none of the other pets sensed it.
Including the War Bee Queen Bee and the Diamond Ink Turtle—they didn’t sense their master was in danger.
This precisely demonstrated the Ant Queen’s unique perceptual abilities.
He distinctly remembered the first time he was trapped inside the Ancient Banyan Tree’s maze; Qin Niu had contacted the Ant Queen by relying on a weak call of his spiritual soul. It was the Ant Queen who recklessly led the ant colony to save their master.
Eventually, the Ant Queen rescued Qin Niu.
Having had these special experiences, Qin Niu’s affection for the Ant Queen and Fourth was profound.
“Yes, I have advanced.”
The Ant Queen’s voice carried a trace of weakness but mostly excitement.
Looking at the situation, it seemed it had just completed its advancement.
“You sensed I was in danger, so you clenched your teeth and forced yourself to advance?”
