Chapter 185: Chapter 180: The Powerful Medical Ant_l
Translator 549690339 |
Qin Niu had cultivated the Medical Ant into a Grade Two Termite, but he never
had the chance to test its healing abilities.
Now was the perfect time to try.
Leading the ant colony back to the Ant Nest, Qin Niu summoned the Medical
Ant.
“They’re injured, can you heal them?”
Qin Niu asked the Medical Ant.
It crawled to the poisoned termites and examined their condition with its
antennae.
“This is a paralytic toxin, but it’s treatable!”
After speaking, it began to treat Fourth. It bit into Fourth’s neck, slowly
creating a wound.
Then it seemed to suck out the poison from Fourth’s body.
Its originally white mouthparts gradually turned black.
Fourth’s condition visibly improved at a noticeable pace.
Moments later, Fourth had completely recovered.
The mouthparts of the Medical Ant had turned completely black, shiny from the change.
“Are you alright?”
“I’m fine, I just need a little time.”
After speaking, it slightly raised its head and remained motionless.
Then, one could see its mouthparts gradually fading in color, from shiny black to dark gray, then to light gray, and finally becoming pure white.
The Medical Ant also soon returned to normal.
“Fantastic! I didn’t expect your abilities to be so powerful.”
Having witnessed the Medical Ant’s healing abilities, Qin Niu was very pleased.
The anxiety he had been holding onto was alleviated.
He was particularly worried about Fourth encountering an accident and was somewhat concerned about the Medical Ant running into trouble.
It seemed his worries were for naught; Fourth had fully recovered, and not only was the Medical Ant unharmed, it seemed to have grown a bit stronger.
“Have you become stronger?”
“Yes! The venom was of a higher quality, and after absorbing it, I transformed it into a special energy. If I accumulate enough of this energy, I should be able to evolve just like it.”
The Medical Ant had limited expressive ability.
By evolving just like it, it probably meant advancing to a Grade Three Termite.
“There is plenty of that venom, you’ll have more than enough.
Qin Niu had collected many Army Ant corpses.
Now that it was confirmed that the toxin on the Army Ant corpses could not fatally harm the termites, Qin Niu immediately assembled a Termite Engineer Squad and took them to the recent battlefield to collect the carcasses.
Many Army Ant bodies were scattered on the ground; he didn’t have the time to pick them up one by one.
These were all Grade Three insect carcasses; feeding them to the termites should be an excellent nutritional supplement.
Once he collected all the Army Ant corpses and returned to the Ant Nest, the Medical Ant was still inside, treating the poisoned termites.
“These Army Ants have actually evolved toxins in their bodies; that’s really quite formidable.”
Qin Niu thought to himself.
He summoned the Medical Ant, “Can you check if this Army Ant corpse is poisonous? Is it lethal?”
The Medical Ant circled the Army Ant carcass twice, constantly scouting with
its antennae.
“The toxins on the body aren’t produced by it but are instead smeared on.
After checking, the Medical Ant provided Qin Niu with extremely important information.
“This toxin is not lethal. It will make those poisoned stiff and slow m their movements.”
It wasn’t a toxin produced by the Army Ants themselves, but one that had been deliberately applied?
The first thing that came to his mind was the method of applying poison to hidden weapons and arrowheads.
This method could ensure that, besides being injured, the person hit by the arrow would also be poisoned.
It’s often used on the battlefield.
