Chapter 213 - Chapter 213: Chapter 208: Grade Four Demon Ant VS War Demon Ant_1 (2/2)

It healed back to its original state almost visibly to the naked eye.

Sometimes, not only insects but also humans act the same way.

When two people’s cultivation levels are nearly equal, neither will concede to the other. Only through a fight can one know who is stronger and who is weaker.

After this battle, Fourth’s position as the king of the ant colony remained unshaken by any termite.

Even the Grade Four Demon Ants were subdued by him, and other termites challenging him would essentially be delivering themselves to defeat.

“The strength of the War Demon Ant is so formidable, it would be great if the Ant Queen could produce one or two more,”

Just now, Fourth hadn’t used his Spirit Control ability, otherwise, the battle might have ended even quicker.

Although the Grade Four Demon Ant’s combat power was less than Fourth’s, it was still very formidable.

Qin Niu was not stingy, he took a small amount of the limited remaining Thousand Eyes Tree Blood to nurture this Demon Ant sufficiently.

To grant it a Spirit Control ability as well.

Merely after one day, this Demon Ant had completed its second evolution.

Regrettably, it hadn’t broken through to Grade Five.

It feels like the higher the level of the creatures, whether humans or insects, the more difficult it becomes to advance.

This Demon Ant seemed to have reached the pinnacle of Grade Four, and with the right opportunity, it could make a breakthrough and successfully advance to Grade Five.

As the ant colony continued to expand, Qin Niu now faced the issue of a shortage of Thousand Eyes Tree Blood.

Despite thinking of many solutions, it still required time to wait.

The Thousand Eyes Trees he had planted, even with a rapid growth rate, had their limitations.

This forced him to scale back on cultivating the group.

Only the most excellent batch of termites could receive a second round of nurturing.

It had been some time since he fed the bodies of Corpse Bees to the Ant Queen, and the three generals’ bodies were already consumed.

Yet, the Ant Queen still hadn’t evolved any new special abilities.

Qin Niu had begun using the Corpse Bee Queen, extracted from Old Master Huang’s back, to feed the Ant Queen, hoping it would help her evolve special abilities.

He felt it might be because the Ant Queen’s current level was high, so the difficulty of evolving special abilities had also increased significantly.

In the past few days, despite the rumors of Insect Masters being harmed persisting outside, Qin Niu, accompanied by Xiao Qing, continued their routine cultivation each day without running into any danger.

The small mountain village of Shuangfeng Village remained peaceful and harmonious.

After finishing his cultivation in the mountains, Qin Niu would return home as usual.

As he passed by Xie Laizi’s house, he keenly sensed something amiss.

Xie Laizi had been dead for some time, and because his house was originally very dilapidated and located at the foot of the mountain, it was considered a very unfavorable spot.

His house had been left vacant ever since.

Nobody dared to move in.

Qin Niu, now at the Innate Realm, had exceptionally acute hearing.

He could clearly hear a strange noise coming from inside the house just now.

It definitely wasn’t a noise a rat could make.

The front door wasn’t locked, but it was closed.

Qin Niu wondered to himself, could it be that a wild beast from the mountains had entered the house through the back window?

After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately decided not to investigate.

Instead, he continued forward with Xiao Qing.

He hadn’t walked far when he sensed danger. He couldn’t explain it but felt extremely threatened; even the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.

It was nearing dusk, and the sky had darkened.

He was suddenly alarmed, wondering if a monstrous beast had infiltrated Xie Laizi’s house?

“Xiao Qing, I’ll hold your hand as we walk,”

Concerned for Xiao Qing’s safety, Qin Niu quickly took her small hand in his.

“Master, my scalp feels a bit tingly. There might be danger,”

she whispered softly.

“Mm, let’s just keep moving forward. If it’s targeting me, it will definitely reveal itself,”

Qin Niu had secretly ordered some Poisonous Ants to silently leap into the roadside bushes without making a sound.

Just then, a black snake with a crested head suddenly sprang out from in front of them, aiming for his ankle.

He was wearing the armor of the Pig King, which the small snake would probably have difficulty piercing through.

However, out of caution, he acted.

First, he pulled Xiao Qing back, and at the same time, his right hand drew the Ink Blade with lightning speed and slashed towards the black snake.
