Such powerful Corpse Bees, without the restraint of contractual power, could potentially backfire and attack their master, which would be no joke.
Furthermore, based on his experience with taming the Green Silkworms, it should be much easier to form a contract while they were still in their larval state.
The Bee Generals were bona fide Grade Five insects; taming them would not be an easy feat by any means.
And it would require the use of an Advanced Contractual Talisman.
You should know that such a talisman is worth a Hundred Taels of Silver Money.
“Fourth, lead the ant swarm to clean up this battlefield.”
Having fought in this area, it was easy to leave behind many invisible traces.
Having the Termites clean up the battlefield seemed like a good choice.
Qin Niu discovered that the several hundred Myriapods had also all perished.
Could it be that Old Master Huang had signed a master-servant contract with each Myriapod?
It seemed somewhat unrealistic to think about it.
Old Master Huang had released the Myriapods rather casually, probably no different from those four thousand plus Grade Three Army Ants.
They were all expendable cannon fodder.
Since no contracts were signed, how did these Myriapods die?
With Qin Niu’s limited knowledge in insect taming, he could only secretly speculate that Old Master Huang must have done something to them.
After all, the Nine Insect Gang was a gang that specialized in insect taming.
There were many skilled Insect Masters within their ranks.
Old Master Huang, being able to serve as the gang’s Executor, was already part of the upper echelons of the gang. Fuhrther upward, he could be promoted to positions like protector or elder.
Therefore, it was normal for him to possess some powerful insect taming methods.
After cleaning up the scene of the fight, Qin Niu did not return the Termites to their nest.
He only checked that the Ant Queen and the other Termites in the nest were normal, then he directly led the more than two thousand strong Termite Army down the mountain.
This is because Old Master Huang had inquired about Qin Niu’s residence in the village.
There was a good chance that he tampered with his home.
Even though Qin Niu now possessed the cultivation of the acquired second layer, he could still be killed by some powerful insects.
The leather armor was very strong in defense but not impervious to all.
When agitated by energy, the armor could form a Light Cocoon, completely protecting Qin Niu without any blind spots, but some insects specialized in breaking through such cocoons or energy armors.
Insect Masters were feared for a reason.
Even an Insect Master with only the cultivation of a common human of Twofold or Tenfold, when controlling a swarm of Grade Two or Three insects, could easily eliminate an expert of the human Tenfold realm, just as easily as cutting vegetables.
With over two thousand Termites and a Grade Seven Golden Toad on him, Qin Niu could handle the vast majority of dangers.
Moreover, with Old Master Huang dead, it was unlikely that he would have left any dangerous insects in Qin Niu’s home.
“Who exactly sold me out?”
Qin Niu furrowed his brows in thought.
This person must be found and eliminated.
The first person he thought of was Wang Haikun. They had a grudge since Wang Haikun had an arm sliced off by Qin Niu, a deep and bitter hatred.
Given the chance for revenge, he certainly would not be lenient.
When he emerged from the mountains, he found Xie Laizi, who usually crawled on the ground, living a life worse than dogs or pigs, now humming a tune.
“Uncle Xie, you seem quite happy today!”
Qin Niu greeted him indifferently.
“Um… I have come to accept things and realized that it’s better to live happily no matter what.” Xie Laizi’s eyes clearly showed a flash of panic when he saw Qin Niu coming down from the mountains.
Such an obvious change in expression could not escape Qin Niu’s eyes.
“You’re right, Uncle Xie, one should indeed live happily. No one came looking for you yesterday, did they?”
Qin Niu asked, staring at him.
“No, nobody! Not even a dog would dare to come to my shabby house!”
Xie Laizi tried to appear calm, squeezing out a smile in response.
“You’ve got money now, right? You could build a couple of imposing houses!”
Qin Niu said earnestly.
“I… where would I get money from? Master Qin, you jest.”
“Didn’t that noble give you some money?”
Hearing Qin Niu mention this, Xie Laizi’s face changed.
In terms of psychological endurance, he ultimately fell short.
“I don’t know what Master Qin is talking about!”
His eyes no longer dared to meet Qin Niu’s gaze, instead lowering his head and darting his eyes around.
At this point, Qin Niu had an idea of what was going on.
“Fourth, bite him, deal with him using your poison.”
Following Qin Niu’s command, Fourth jumped off his body onto the ground, quickly crawling towards Xie Laizi.
Qin Niu proceeded forward without looking back.
Soon, the sound of Xie Laizi’s pained groans came from behind.
It seemed that Fourth had managed to bite him.
Fourth’s poison was very special, capable of eroding the soul. Its poison was likely to be terrifying against ordinary people or beasts and birds.
This was the first time Qin Niu had asked Fourth to use the Soul Eroding Poison.
The heavens do value all life.
Last time Qin Niu wanted to get rid of Xie Laizi, but Wang Haikun’s strike was too light, only crippling the man and leaving Xie Laizi with a breath of life.
Latter on, Qin Niu did not bother with him again.
Unexpectedly, this scourge sold Qin Niu out again this time.
If he doesn’t kill him now, should he wait until the New Year?
After biting his target, Fourth quickly followed and climbed back onto Qin Niu’s body.
Returning home, Qin Niu was extremely cautious.
He even activated his armor with energy to form a Light Cocoon.
“Fourth, have you discovered any other powerful insects hiding in the house?”
“Not for now.”
“You lead the Termites to conduct a thorough search of the entire house.”
