Chapter 261: Chapter 254 Bloodsucking Locusts 1

This was the first time he had encountered armor that could withstand the Ink Blade’s Blade Qi.

Not far behind him, the large spider fighting the Red-eyed Golden Toad also collapsed onto its back, its eight legs folding in, and then it remained motionless after the woman’s death.

When the master died, the insects bound to them through a spirit contract perished as well.

Their fates were closely linked to their master’s.

Originally engaged in battle with the jumping spider, the Red-eyed Golden Toad, seeing it suddenly die, opened its mouth to devour it.

“Wart Toad, show some mercy with your mouth!”

Qin Niu quickly dismounted and gathered the body of the Phantom Jumping Spider into a basket.

If the Golden Toad ate it, the benefits would be very limited since it was already a Grade Seven Beast Pet.

It would be better to keep it to feed to the Ant Queen later.

A Grade Five White Termite Ant Queen consuming an entire Grade Six Phantom Jumping Spider would gain considerable benefits.

It might even advance directly to Grade Six.

Having witnessed the collective combat prowess of these formidable Insect Masters from the Nine Insect Gang, he felt an urgent need to cultivate a super White Termite colony. Then he wouldn’t fear any Insect Master he faced.

After collecting the body of the Phantom Jumping Spider, he quickly scavenged the woman’s corpse for valuables.

He stripped off the soft armor immediately.

The Insect Bags and Insect Jars at the waist of the woman’s corpse were clearly high-quality items, and he happily took them all.

Those Insect Bags came in a wide variety of styles and were made from superior materials, totaling eleven, suitable for housing various insects.

Some of the Insect Bags still contained insects.

These were insects that hadn’t been released in time.

Qin Niu could feel that they seemed to be still active, indicating they had not formed a spirit contract with the woman.

Now was definitely not the time to open and check.

He decided to keep them for now.

Unexpectedly, he found two silver notes inside the woman’s bodice, amounting to fifteen hundred taels.

Truly poor.

But at least there was an old, yellowed book.

The Spider Technique Scroll.

Ordinary Insect Control Books were typically named as certain scriptures, notes, or rearing manuals. It was uncommon to name them as scrolls.

The word “technique” was a high-level term in the cultivation world.

Just like “Taiyi” or “Primordial,” such terms would never be used casually.

The same was true for Insect Control Books.

The Spider Technique Scroll was of medium thickness and appeared quite old. Some of its corners were worn away.

The cover seemed to be made of animal hide, and the inside consisted of specially made satin pages.

It appeared to be quite high-end.

Qin Niu knew this could be something valuable; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been kept close by the female Insect Master.

Once he finished plundering, he grabbed the corpse and carelessly tossed it into the nearby bushes.

Before long, it would be consumed clean by wild beasts and ants.

This woman, the fourth disciple under Elder Jiu Yin, had a pretty face and a particularly alluring figure, likely much favored by Elder Jiu Yin. Now she had been slain by Qin Niu’s blade.

Elder Jiu Yin would probably go into a rage.

Since the fourth disciple’s strongest insect was a Grade Six Phantom Jumping Spider, Elder Jiu Yin, being her mentor, would possess at least a Grade Seven insect.

Qin Niu had no trouble dealing with the Grade Six Phantom Jumping Spider because he had a Grade Seven Red-eyed Golden Toad at his disposal. Otherwise, he might have been flustered just trying to handle one spider.

There might even have been danger.

However, he had over twenty thousand White Termites, with over four thousand capable of Mental Attacks and Spirit Control.

In a desperate situation, he should have a great chance of victory.

Mental attacks were indeed an against-the-heavens ability; it was just too bad there was so little Thousand Eyes Tree Blood.

If he could obtain it like Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, getting two large jars a day,

then he could breed as many Ghost Ants and Puppet Ants as he wanted.

“Qin Niu, those Phantom Jumping Spiders and Bloodsucking Locusts suddenly fell into disarray, and the four leading Grade Five Phantom Jumping Spiders died on the spot. What happened on your side?”

Master He Shan came galloping over on his lion.

His personal guards followed closely behind.

Several of the personal guards had bleeding faces and hands, clearly bitten by the Bloodsucking Locusts.
