Chapter 184 - Chapter 184: Chapter 179 The Strength of a Veteran Insect Master_i (2/2)

Buzz buzz!

That faint buzzing of wings was heard again in his ears.

“Prepare to face the enemy, the Corpse Bees are coming!”

Qin Niu immediately warned the Termites.

Two shadows approached him at high speed, one of which aimed its attack alarmingly at his face.

The face armor was the weakest part of his defense.

The other shadow targeted the hand with which he wielded his blade.

“Attack!”

Following Qin Niu’s command, all the Termites abandoned their other targets and directed their antennae at the two approaching shadows.

Even Fourth, who was already showing symptoms of poisoning, aimed his antennae at one of the shadows.

In terms of combat capability, Fourth was definitely the strongest.

The shadow targeting Qin Niu’s face, when about a meter away from him, halted abruptly and then stopped in midair, its wings beating continuously.

A nauseating stench of rot hit his nostrils.

Seeing this, it was clear that the Termites had taken control of it.

The other shadow, aiming for Qin Niu’s right hand, fared worse; it gyrated like a drunken man, slamming into Qin Niu’s chest armor.

The force was very strong.

Two Termites that couldn’t dodge in time were hit, and they both fell to the ground injured in an instant.

The shadow that hit Qin Niu’s chest armor also tumbled to the ground, floundering.

This time he finally saw clearly—it was a large Bee General.

Without any fuss, he covered it with a net, which he had been preparing for some time, and then carefully placed it into a new Insect Jar.

This was an Insect Jar forged from fine iron; once inside, it wouldn’t dream of coming out again.

It appeared extremely agitated, its long, sharp sting attacking the inner walls of the Insect Jar violently, creating a sharp noise akin to needles stabbing into a metal plate.

The Bee General suspended in the air surely couldn’t be controlled by the Termites for too long.

Qin Niu this time didn’t even bother with the net and directly took out an Insect Jar to encase it.

It didn’t resist at all throughout the process.

Having successfully subdued both Bee Generals, he too breathed a long sigh of relief.

Old Master Huang had only three Bee Generals in total; unless he was willing to abandon the results of years of hard work, he would definitely come to rescue them.

If he dared to come, Qin Niu would definitely find a way to eliminate him.

Without the threat of the Bee Generals, these Army Ants had become insignificant.

He could even let them die out on their own.

But instead of doing so, he seized the opportunity to keep annihilating them.

The buzzing sound came once again from the sky.

One after another, the Corpse Bees, seeing the tide had turned, began to flee.

“These Army Ants might have been air-dropped using the Corpse Bees.”

Seeing the number of Corpse Bees was at least over twenty, he had a moment of realization.

Using the Corpse Bees to air-drop the Army Ants was equivalent to deploying airborne troops.

Old Master Huang, indeed an old hand among Insect Masters, used insects in endlessly astonishing ways.

And from this, Qin Niu learned many valuable lessons in practical combat.

He didn’t have Corpse Bees, but he had honeybees.

In future confrontations, he too could imitate this tactic, letting honeybees carry the Termites and then air-drop them at the target location.

An hour and more later, the battle ended.

He had successfully captured two Bee Generals, and there was a ground covered with Army Ant carcasses.

He initially thought their numbers were just over a thousand, but a rough tally showed at least four thousand.

A single Army Ant nest had at least tens of thousands, and up to twenty or thirty million.

If it were one of those super colonies with twenty or thirty million, even lions and tigers when encountered would be reduced to skeletons in a very short time.

The batch of Army Ants sent by Old Master Huang consisted mainly of Grade Three ants.

One couldn’t help but marvel at the old man’s resources.

Qin Niu initially thought ant players were few, but he unexpectedly encountered one so easily.

Although his Termites were not ants, they were considered part of the ant family for Insect Masters.

“The gap between these veteran Insect Masters and me is still quite large!”

Qin Niu, although he had won a great victory by being weaker and fewer, also realized many of his inadequacies.

He had even witnessed the true strength of other Insect Masters.

Old Master Huang was only one of the top Insect Masters in Black Tiger City; if one ventured beyond the territory of the Black Tiger Gang, there would undoubtedly be even more powerful beings.

Although the bodies of these Army Ants were poisonous, Qin Niu still found them valuable.

He carefully collected them in a canister.

It took him a good hour and more.

And many other debris were also collected together.

He had no choice; he didn’t understand the type of poison on these Army Ants and didn’t dare to let the Termites have any contact with them again. Collecting the bodies of the Army Ants could only be done by himself.

If he could let the Termites do the job, it might take only a few short minutes to finish.

“Fourth, how do you feel now?”

“Still a bit numb, but much better.”

Fourth replied.

This somewhat eased Qin Niu’s mind.

“Let’s go, I’ll let the Medical Ant try to heal you.”

About eighty to ninety of the poisoned Termites were left, out of which around forty were killed by the Army Ants, becoming martyrs.

The remaining ones were in a state of poisoning.
