Chapter 205 - Chapter 205: Chapter 200: Emergence of a Large Number of Grade Three Termites i (2/2)
With Fourth and Golden Toad, it would be a different story altogether.
He could directly collect any rare insects he encountered into his pouch.
Since the number of war bees was still very small, he kept them to guard the beehive, to watch the house.
After he entered the mountain, his goal was unwaveringly the ant nest.
As soon as he reached the ant nest, he was shocked.
One by one, termites as thick as pinky fingers crawled out of the nest.
They emerged endlessly like a tide, then surrounded Qin Niu.
“Goodness, have they completed their evolution?”
It was about time by his calculations.
The evolved worker ants were all nimble and agile, with thick legs and strong mandibles—clearly adept at their work.
The soldier ants were terrifying.
They bore tiger stripes on their bodies, and their upper jaws gleamed with a cold light like fine steel; one bite would likely cut most insects in half on the spot.
Their legs were a bit longer than those of the worker ants, making them even more agile.
Just standing there, each radiated a presence of war and battle, as though they were elite troops ready to charge and fight on the battlefield.
The power worker ants, power soldier ants, demon ants, and elephantic ants had yet to complete their evolution.
The main force that had evolved now were just ordinary Grade Two worker ants and Grade Two soldier ants.
He felt their combat abilities were noticeably stronger than the existing Grade Two lightning ants and Grade Two tiger-striped soldier ants.
This was normal.
After all, their grade was one level higher.
Qin Niu checked their attributes.
Grade Three lightning worker ants, 673 in total, lifespan of 33 years, special abilities (agility, super-strong mandible bite, ant acid that assists in healing plant wounds, primary carapace).
Grade Three tiger-striped soldier ants, 277 in total, lifespan of 30.5 years, special abilities (agility, armor penetration, primary carapace, frenzy; in a frenzied state, speed increases by three times, attack power by five times, and defense by one time).
Their attributes and lifespan had significantly increased.
The Grade Three tiger-striped soldier ants even gained new abilities such as agility, armor penetration, and primary carapace.
This also meant that their combat power would increase multiple times over.
With this batch of fresh forces, Qin Niu would definitely be much more at ease if he encountered a formidable Insect Master again.
Last time, he encountered an ambush by Old Master Huang’s four thousand army ants and was put in a very difficult position, even losing several dozen Grade Two termites.
If, like now, he could add nearly a thousand Grade Three termites in one day,
he would break ten thousand in just around eleven days.
Even if he lost one or two hundred in battle, he could completely afford the loss.
“Alright, go back in! There will be time for you to shine. But usually, stay low- key for me and hide deep in the nest, that’s right.”
Qin Niu called out the one thousand newly-molted juvenile ants from the ant nest.
He was ecstatic to see another demon ant had emerged.
Both war bees and demon ants were rare species.
Their combat abilities were far stronger than other special ants.
Now, he had two demon ants and one war demon ant.
Once he managed to cultivate the demon ants, he could consider making them like giant locusts, becoming generals to lead a termite army into battle.
By then, with demon ants as generals, tiger-striped ironclad ants as lieutenants, dark poison ants, and elephantic soldier ants as special forces,
As for the ghost ants, as long as there was ample ‘Thousand Eyes Tree Blood,’ he could mass-produce them.
“The blood of the Ancient Banyan Tree is almost inexhaustible; I can take two or three jars of it every day. But the production of Thousand Eyes Tree Blood is very limited. Now that the termites have become fierce, the ‘Thousand Eyes Tree Blood’ consumed for their secondary cultivation will increase tenfold or even more. I’ve got to think of a way.”
Qin Niu was decent at cultivation.
The Everlasting Spring Technique was especially beneficial to plants, bringing them back from the brink and promoting rapid growth.
He was considering the possibility of cultivating the ‘Thousand Eyes Tree’ himself.
