Chapter 195 - Chapter 195: Chapter 190 Corpse Bee Breeding Method 1 (2/2)
However, ultimately he could not escape the killing blow of the Ink Blade.
Throughout the entire battle, Old Master Huang suffered severe disadvantages. Even before engaging in direct combat, he had already lost around eighty to ninety percent of his strength, and his life was hanging by a thread.
If Qin Niu hadn’t had these stratagems and the help of the Ancient Banyan Tree, he most certainly wouldn’t have been a match for Old Master Huang.
He also gained a clearer understanding of the strength of the Nine Insect Gang.
The true protectors, or even the sect elders, must possess even more terrifying power.
The notes beyond detailing Old Master Huang’s life story also focused on methods of cultivating Corpse Bees.
To hatch Corpse Bee eggs, one must select a piece of intact flesh on a living creature, bury the eggs within, and then use the creature’s blood flow and body temperature to incubate the eggs.
This process is extremely painful.
As the eggs hatch, they continuously release corpse poison, making the originally intact skin and flesh unbearably itchy, slowly necrotizing and rotting away.
The most ideal way of incubation is to carry it out on a living human being.
Old Master Huang chose to incubate the bee eggs within his own body, allowing them to reside inside him continuously and enduring great pain night and day.
Moreover, to cultivate those three Bee Generals, he went to great lengths and endured much suffering.
During the incubation period, he used his own cultivation to nourish them, aiding their growth in strength.
After they matured into adult bees, they needed to consume his decaying flesh every month.
To ensure sufficient food for the Bee Generals, Old Master Huang let the three of them eat the decaying flesh on his back in turns. After one finished, he would use top-grade Flesh-Regenerating Elixirs to heal the missing flesh on his back, growing new flesh.
Then he would wait for it to rot and be consumed by the second Bee General.
This was the only way to barely meet the needs of the three Bee Generals.
Nevertheless, Old Master Huang suffered unimaginable pain every day.
No wonder when Qin Niu crushed one of his Bee Generals, he went mad like his son had been killed.
The notes also presented an alternative method of incubation, which involved choosing animals, restraining their bodies, and placing the bee eggs within their flesh to hatch. He experimented with horses, dogs, rabbits, and monkeys.
The most effective were the monkeys.
He also mentioned that using live humans yielded even better results than using monkeys.
But the bodies of ordinary people are hardly able to withstand the invasion of corpse poison, often leading to death.
The whole method of hatching and cultivating Corpse Bees seemed to be an utterly evil cultivation technique.
Qin Niu temporarily discarded the idea of hatching such bees.
Utilizing animals as a substitute for incubation was barely acceptable to him, but he could never accept using living humans for the experiment.
The notes also described some methods to help strengthen the Corpse Bees, many of which were wicked techniques.
Yet, Old Master Huang did not seem to mind and even believed that if the Corpse Bees were continuously cultivated, their potential could surpass that of the Green Demon’s Green Demon Bees.
Additionally, the Step-Method Martial Skill that Qin Niu coveted was mentioned.
This was a volume of martial skills from the scripture library of the Nine Insect Gang.
Every inner sect disciple and higher-ranked position could practice it.
Every sect had numerous cultivation techniques and martial skills secret manuals, and apart from the very top ones, the rest were generally released to the sect disciples for study.
Qin Niu safely stored the two Corpse Bee eggs for later, deciding whether to hatch them depending on the circumstances.
As dusk approached, the Yan Family sent someone to fetch him again.
“Master Qin, are you free tonight to help our Yan Family with extermination?”
Ever since Steward Yan Qi found that Qin Niu was even more capable than Master Mo and Master Shi, his attitude towards Qin Niu became even more respectful.
“Alright, I’ll get ready and then accompany you,”
Qin Niu readily agreed.
He made sure to bring along the Golden Toad.
Once Qin Niu boarded the carriage, Yan Qi said to him, “Just a short while ago, Master Mo discovered an abnormal situation. A kind of very powerful locust broke through the defenses laid by Master Mo. Those locusts are formidable, and Master Mo would like to invite you over to discuss a good strategy.”
