Chapter 292: Chapter 285: Killing People is Sure to Bring Wealth_1

The runes on this insect bag are more profound and numerous than those on the first two treasures, indicating that the bag’s abilities are likely even stronger.

Could it be that Elder Jiu Yin fit so many insects inside this bag?

Considering that possibility, Qin Niu’s breathing became somewhat rapid.

He had always wanted a larger insect bag, ideally one that could hold tens of thousands of termites, or even more.

But as the termites continued to evolve, they grew larger and larger.

Ordinary insect bags simply couldn’t accommodate them.

If this insect bag was a treasure, it might be able to solve this problem.

Since he was in his own yard, there was no need to rush.

He took his time to study the bag over and over again.

If it was an item embodying the laws of the Great Dao, it should be possible to lay claim to it via blood recognition.

Not entirely sure, he decided to give it a try.

He bit his fingertip and dripped three drops of blood on it.

As the fresh blood touched the insect bag, the ancient and minute runes seemed to come to life.

They emitted a faint luminescence.

Overjoyed, Qin Niu thought that such a reaction to his blood meant that blood recognition was possible.

Indeed, after only a moment, he felt a curious connection with the bag, much like the connection he had with his Ink Blade.

Qin Niu’s spiritual power could now easily probe inside the bag.

“It’s truly miraculous. Inside, there are so many independent spaces, and some are particularly vast. It wouldn’t just hold ten thousand termites; it could easily hold a million,” he mused.

However, he had no idea how to use it.

He tried the most old-fashioned method, infusing a trace of his Qi into the insect bag.

Without needing any instruction, he instinctively discovered that he could control which space in the bag to open with his spiritual power or even just his thoughts.

The insect bag was not empty; it still contained quite a few insects.

Some of them were dead.

Others were still alive.

The deceased insects had all been claimed by Elder Jiu Yin.

The living insects, however, had not been directly claimed.

Just like Qin Niu, it was enough to claim only the Ant Queen.

He could command all the termites produced by the Ant Queen.

Elder Jiu Yin did the same. The millions of Bloodsucking Leeches, over a hundred thousand Fire Ants, and the quantity of these insects was indeed terrifying.

If each insect had to be claimed individually, any Insect Master would end up bankrupt.

Even a low-grade Contract Charm costs one tael of silver on the market.

Could a Beast Tamer afford to spend a hundred taels of silver to subdue a hundred thousand Grade Three Fire Ants?

Let’s say, hypothetically, that a Beast Tamer was willing to spend so much money, his Spirit Space wouldn’t possibly support such a vast host of pets.

Now at the Innate Realm, Qin Niu could only claim around forty to fifty insects or other low-grade beasts before reaching the limit.

In fact, as insects and beast pets advanced in rank, the amount of Spirit Space they required increased further.

Almost all Insect Masters and Beast Tamers would choose to use their limited Spirit Space to claim higher-value insects or beasts.

In this process, some would even proactively cull pets with less potential to free up Spirit Space.

Qin Niu attempted to control the space holding the Fire Ants in the insect bag. As soon as he opened the mouth of the bag, hundreds of Fire Ants fell out and landed on the ground.

They were extremely fierce.

They immediately tried to attack Qin Niu.

However, they were quickly subdued by Fourth, along with the Ghost Ants and Puppet Ants, or targeted with a Mental Attack that left them writhing in pain on the ground.

Some even died outright.

“With this treasure, I won’t have to worry about raising too many insects in the future. The insects kept in the bag will just have to be cleared out gradually,” he thought.

He carefully stored away the Hundred Treasures Insect Bag, feeling extremely satisfied.
