Chapter 234 - Chapter 234: Chapter 227: The Black Tiger Gang Leader Who Scratched His Head Open 1 (2/2)

Faintly visible were two strands of energy following his breath, endlessly circling around his nostrils.

“An intelligence report!”

“Bring it in.”

The middle-aged man slowly ended his exercises and opened his eyes.

This man was burly and his face bore a fierce appearance. When he opened his eyes, a tangible sharpness shot forth, evidencing the high level of his cultivation.

Clearly, only those with extremely profound cultivation could display such phenomena.

A personal guard took the intelligence report and handed it to the middle-aged man.

“The Nine Insects Gang has a large number of troops moving around the banks of Wash Crime River? It looks like they’re searching for someone?”

“The Wash Crime River is a natural barrier between our two gangs. It would be extremely difficult for an army to cross. The sudden appearance of a large number of troops—what is the Nine Insects Gang planning? Are they intending to launch an attack from this location?

If there truly is a large force invading from this direction into our Black Tiger Gang’s territory, we cannot afford to be careless.

However, the Nine Insects Gang Leader has always been cunning and ruthless. If he wanted to invade the Black Tiger Gang’s territory from this direction, it would be more advantageous for him to do so surreptitiously. Why would they intentionally reveal the whereabouts of their large force? What are they planning?”

The middle-aged man frowned and racked his brain, but he could not figure it out.

“Summon the gang’s high-level members for a meeting immediately.”

Learning about the sudden appearance of the Nine Insects Gang’s large number of troops on the banks of Wash Crime River made the middle-aged man take it very seriously.

No matter the reason, an immediate response was necessary.

In Hundred Leaf Town, Qin Niu awoke from his sleep as the night fell.

After eating his fill, he also specially bought some meat to feed his Diamond Ink Turtle and Red-eyed Golden Toad.

As for the Termites, he couldn’t feed them now.

Although they are omnivorous creatures, their preferred diet still consists of trees, roots, and the like.

“Sir, the streets at night are even livelier. Won’t you go out and have a look?”

The waiter brought a pot of tea over to Qin Niu.

“Are there people looking for Green Demon Bees at night?”

Qin Niu casually rewarded the waiter with half a piece of Silver Money.

The waiter beamed with joy.

“Thank you, young master!” The waiter tucked the Silver Money into his clothes. “There are even more people looking for Green Demon Bees at night than during the day! Many are like you, resting in the inn during the day and going into the mountains to search for traces of Green Demon Bees at night.” “Oh, why is that?”

Qin Niu was quite curious.

The mountains at night should be more dangerous after all.

But it was hard to see mountains as big as those near Shuangfeng Village from here, only some small hills.

“Wild bees typically go out to forage during the day, so it’s not easy to find them. Also, many wild bees are not visible at night, making them easier to catch. Comparatively speaking, the risk of being attacked by them at night is also smaller.”

The waiter seemed to know quite a bit.

“Thankyou for sharing!”

Qin Niu, feeling generous, rewarded the waiter with another half piece of Silver Money.

“My, my, the young master is really too generous. Thank you for your generous tip.”

One piece of Silver Money was equivalent to several days’ income for the waiter.

Usually, receiving one or two Wen Money as a tip was considered quite good. Qin Niu directly rewarded him with one piece of Silver Money, which was equivalent to a hundred Wen Money.

“If you go to the mountains to look for Green Demon Bees, remember one thing for sure; if you encounter blackened rocks in the mountains, do not proceed any further. There are killer bees there, and if stung, it’s easy to lose one’s life. It’s said that there are formidable wild bees inside that can see at night, with long poison stingers that can penetrate even through cotton clothing.”

Having received the tip,

The waiter revealed even more information.

However, upon hearing this, instead of being frightened, Qin Niu showed an extremely interested expression.

If the wild bees weren’t formidable, he wouldn’t even be interested.

So far, he had only discovered that Corpse Bees possessed night vision abilities.

But raising Corpse Bees was harmful to the heavens, and their cultivation was extremely difficult.

He preferred Green Demon Bees..
