Chapter 237 - Chapter 237: Chapter 230: The First Large-Scale Bug Battlei (2/2)
But it was already very difficult to pose a threat to him.
Qin Niu checked the numbers and in a short period of time, he lost over three hundred termite soldiers, nearly four hundred.
Such heavy losses pained him greatly.
Fortunately, the ones lost were Grade Three Soldier Ants without the ability to launch mental attacks.
The over four thousand termites with mental attack and spirit control abilities, including the Elephant Nose Soldier Ants, Demon Ants, Medical Ants, and other special kinds of ants, were all his key protection targets.
Each one was extremely precious.
If there could be one hundred thousand, or even a million termites with mental attack abilities today, no matter how many wild bees came, they would be like sending themselves to slaughter.
“Fourth, you lead the Puppet Ants to control those formidable War Bees. Take them out one by one.”
Qin Niu was already impatient and took out a large Insect Jar, ready to capture those Grade Five Bee Generals.
He didn’t care for the ordinary Steel-winged Wild Bees.
After killing them, he would leave their bodies to feed the Termite Ant Queen and War Bee Queen Bee.
As for those Grade Five Bee Generals, selling them or keeping a few for further cultivation and breeding were both excellent choices.
They possessed Night Vision and were naturally equipped with steel wings, their flying abilities not weaker than ordinary birds.
Also, their toxicity was fierce.
All these special abilities had high value for cultivation.
The first priority was to deal with the Bee Generals, as the strategy of “capturing the leader first in catching thieves” goes.
As long as he took care of all the Bee Generals, the combat power of the bee swarm would immediately be sharply reduced.
What Qin Niu feared the most were those green-headed wild bees.
They had an overwhelming summoning capability.
Just one could summon ten thousand, even a hundred thousand wild bees to join the battle, which was really terrifying.
Fourth had been brimming with anger all along.
Just waiting for the moment to counterattack to arrive.
He sent forth nearly two thousand seven hundred Puppet Ants and put them to work all at once.
They could take care of four to five Bee Generals at a time.
In just a short while, Qin Niu’s Insect Jar already had seventy-one Bee Generals inside.
One jar simply couldn’t hold them all; he filled two jars to the brim, and they still seemed a bit squeezed.
Holding them in hand, they were quite heavy.
The Bee Generals of these Steel-winged Wild Bees were not only large in size but also exceptionally robust.
Their weight was beyond imagination.
With little effort, Qin Niu captured them all.
This somewhat made up for the loss of nearly four hundred termites.
“Fourth, lead the Puppet Ants to make the wild bees slaughter each other. The over fourteen hundred Ghost Ants will launch mental attacks, taking any out they can. The rest of the common ants, deal with those bees that have fallen to the ground, ‘finish them off.’
Qin Niu issued the combat order.
Just now, during the battle with the wild bees, he discovered that of the original three thousand plus termites that had fought with locusts before, which Qin Niu had also taken to eradicate pests in the fields, each one of them was battle-hardened, exhibiting a combat force even stronger than ordinary Grade Three termites.
New recruits and old soldiers who had seen battle were not even on the same level in terms of combat power.
This was a good opportunity for training.
It was just right for the over fifteen thousand regular Worker Ants and Soldier Ants to engage in close combat.
The wild bees might have been struck down, but they had only suffered mental attacks or been wounded by their own kind under control and had fallen to the ground.
They still possessed a strong combat power.
If they were not killed promptly, with their tenacious vitality, they could recover quickly.
Those wild bees that had fallen to the ground were the perfect opponents for the termites’ combat training.
Qin Niu just looked on indifferently.
The scales of victory in the battle were already tipping in his favor.
The wild bees outside were being eliminated continuously.
He had already successfully taken control of the situation.
Thinking back to the significant improvement when he executed the Misty Rain Traceless Step in the critical moment, he subconsciously checked his attributes.
Martial Skill: Slash slightly proficient 412/1000 (10% chance of Critical Chop, 30% chance of Critical Chop when using the Ink Blade), Sweeping Strike beginner 7.12/10, Misty Rain Traceless Step proficient 11.3/100 (speed increased by 30%, agility enhanced by 10%)
This Step-Method Martial Skill was quite good.
It could significantly increase his escape speed, and his agility followed suit.
Agility was an extremely important metric.
Why can felines be invincible among beasts of the same weight? It’s precisely because of their extremely high agility.
If the enemy’s attacks can’t land, while their sharp claws can easily hit the enemy.
If it’s a tiger, the force of one swipe can reach a ton.
Easily knocking out an opponent.
Even directly crushing the opponent’s skull.
The Misty Rain Traceless Step was only proficient level, but already added 10% agility, and if cultivated to a higher realm, it would definitely be more powerful.
Moreover, this Step-Method Martial Skill had the words ‘traceless’ in it.
Indicating that, when perfected, it would have an effect of being traceless. By then, there would certainly be new special effects.
Also, he noticed that using the Ink Blade to execute the Slash Martial Skill, the chance of an Explosive Slash had increased to 30%.
Though it was just a 10% increase, it could geometrically multiply his combat power in actual combat.
Imagine, every two or three strikes producing an Explosive Slash Effect, which opponent could withstand it?
Just as one explosive chop passes, before the enemy could recover, the second strike comes slashing over.
And again, it’s an Explosive Slash.
The enemy probably only has tears to offer..
