Chapter 306: Chapter 299: The Powerful Young Man from the Mountain Village_1

“`

Feeding the Green Ox, Golden Toad, Green Demon Bee, and other pets directly was definitely not possible.

Because the terrible consequences of using it to cultivate bees in the past were still deeply imprinted on Qin Niu’s mind.

After consuming it, the bees died on the spot, without a single survivor.

Qin Niu continued reading the Rare Herbs and Plants Atlas, as the content of this book was extremely valuable. By memorizing it, he would not miss out on special plants when he encountered them in the future.

However, he had cultivated the Medicine King Sutra and could easily perceive the amount of energy and medicinal qi contained in a plant, and it was difficult for any slightly powerful plant to escape his detection.

But there were always exceptions.

For example, a Bodhi Tree – if it was still a sapling, its medicinal qi and energy would be weak, and the Medicine King Sutra would not be able to detect it at all under these circumstances.

Moreover, if he had the chance to raid some prominent families and snatch spoils of war, he could learn about the characteristics and effects of each precious herb and plant and act first to gain the upper hand.

The Medicine King Sutra could sense that a tree’s energy and medicinal qi were strong, but that didn’t necessarily mean the tree held significant value.

It was also possible that the tree was just about to become sentient.

So, the Medicine King Sutra was not infallible in identifying plants.

He still needed to learn more and accumulate knowledge.

…

In the blink of an eye, five days passed, and Qin Niu’s Zombie Ants had successfully evolved.

Their abilities had also become stronger.

One hundred and thirty-eight Grade Four Iron Stiff Ants, with a lifespan of 99 years, special abilities (Intermediate Carapace, Intermediate Self-healing, Super Strong Biting, Tremendous Strength, Corpse Poison Attack, Assimilation (the enemies bitten by them would be easily assimilated). Night Demon (this ant species, in darkness or an environment with heavy yin, would double its combat power, and its self-healing ability would become extremely strong)).

Their lifespan and overall abilities were much stronger than that of the Grade Three Zombie Ants.

The only regret was that no new special abilities emerged.

In theory, upon advancing a grade, it was entirely possible for them to evolve one or two new special abilities.

Perhaps they were already strong enough on their own.

So, evolving new special abilities had become even more difficult.

This was completely acceptable.

Special abilities were not necessarily better in greater numbers.

It was better to evolve one simple and practical special ability than to evolve a multitude of mediocre ones.

The evolution of pets involved their own choices and intelligence, and Qin Niu was full of confidence in them.

He would never harshly demand that they evolve a certain number of special abilities.

Everything followed its natural course.

His ant colony was still growing by a thousand ants every day, with the rare Demon Ant species sometimes increasing by one, sometimes by two or three.

As the accumulation continued, the number of special ant species was steadily increasing.

Healing Ants and Elephantic Ants were gradually forming a small scale too.

As for the Poisonous Ants, they had now become rampant.

Moreover, their venom was highly toxic.

Even beings like Elder Jiu Yin needed to take a Detoxification Pill immediately after being bitten, or they would be in mortal danger.

The combat ability of the Termite colony had also officially reached a new height.

Even when facing large beast pets like lions and elephants, they were no longer the weaker group.

They could completely rely on their venom to defeat their enemies.

Unconsciously, Qin Niu had already fed the Ant Queen seven corpses of the Taiyin Yaoyao.

Others, Grade Four and Grade Five insect corpses, had been fed in great amounts.

And that was on a daily basis.

Even the resources allocated to Fourth were significantly less.

The Ant Queen was always considered Qin Niu’s most core pet for nurturing.
