“Master, look at this armor!”
Xiao Qing came over wearing the armor. Even though it was tailor-made, it still looked somewhat oversized on her petite frame.
As soon as she finished speaking, a faint green glow emerged on the surface of the armor.
It enveloped her like a light cocoon.
“This…you can activate it with your power?”
Qin Niu asked in surprise.
“Yes! Your set should be able to as well.”
Xiao Qing was still a child, and her playful nature shone through. She tried to activate the Pig King’s armor with her power and accidentally discovered that it could produce a green glow.
“After being activated with power, its defense should be enhanced.”
Qin Niu tried to activate the Pig King’s armor with his power and indeed found that he could allow power to enter into the armor.
Once the armor absorbed his power, a green glow began to appear on its surface.
As he poured more and more power into it, the green glow grew increasingly solid.
He picked up an ordinary firewood knife and chopped at the armor.
When the blade was about half an inch from the armor, it was clearly met with resistance. It was blocked by the light cocoon formed by the green glow.
“The armor maker didn’t tell me that the defense of the armor could be enhanced when activated with power! This Pig King’s armor is really good.”
Qin Niu was already very satisfied with this set of armor, and now he loved it even more.
Light and flexible, yet its defense surpasses that of the heavy Hundred- Tempering Black Armor by a great deal.
Killing that Pig King was really a stroke of good fortune.
He wondered if there were any more Pig Kings in that forest.
“Alt Niu, is your cultivation now particularly terrifying?”
Wang Wanyan watched enviously as both master and servant had high-level armor.
What surprised her even more was Qin Niu’s cultivation.
When Qin Niu activated the Pig King’s armor earlier, the breath he unintentionally leaked out was extremely frightening, like a mountain collapsing, like a raging wave sweeping over.
This kind of breath was even more terrifying than the Black Armored Army at the gate of Black Tiger City.
It was truly shocking.
” It’s not bad! A bit stronger than the average person.” After witnessing the terrifying cultivation of the five ancestors of the Fang Family, Qin Niu only felt like an ant.
He was still miles away from the real powerhouses.
“Xiao Qing, remember to wear this armor every day from now on. It can protect you from harm at critical moments. I need to go into the mountains again. You all should go back and rest! Wan Yan, I will take you hunting in the mountains tomorrow during the day.”
“Okay!”
She saw Qin Niu’s strength, witnessed his rapid changes day by day, and her heart was filled with longing.
And boundless admiration.
Ah Niu, who started low and relied on no one, had fought for his own place in the world.
He was definitely worth learning from.
After Qin Niu went into the mountains, he found that the Ant Nest was normal, which gave him some peace of mind.
“You three, come out and eat.”
He insisted on feeding those three termites leaves from the Broad-leaf Trillium every day.
They hadn’t changed much.
After the termites metamorphosed into adults, it was difficult for them to evolve further.
After that Worker Ant finished eating, he then fed the other two Soldier Ants.
During this free time, Qin Niu checked the attributes of the ant colony.
The ant colony had developed quite well by now, and the species were diverse. The number of Grade Two special ants had long surpassed two thousand, and the number of Grade Three special ants had broken through fifty.
It was a fruitful achievement.
Ranged attack, close combat—they all possessed formidable combat strength.
“Huh, the ant colony has a new species!”
He was pleasantly surprised and taken aback.
Healing Ant: 1, Lifespan: 3 years, Special Ability: (Heals injured termites)
This was a special Grade One Worker Ant.
Qin Niu wasn’t clear on how it came about.
The abilities of the Ant Queen didn’t include the power to produce this kind of termite. Previously, no Healing Ants had been produced.
Like Fourth, it belonged to a special rare species, or did it appear for some other reason?
For example, Qin Niu had been consistently feeding those three termites leaves from the Broad-leaf Trillium. Could it be that after the Worker Ant ate the leaves and then fed the young ants, it caused a mutation?
This possibility was very high.
Although this Healing Ant’s special ability wasn’t combat-related, in Qin Niu’s eyes, it was a treasure.
With it around, his termites could be healed by this Healing Ant after suffering injuries in battle.
“Should I further cultivate it?”
Qin Niu summoned the Healing Ant, which was still a freshly metamorphosed juvenile ant, small in stature. Its mouthparts were white, no different from ordinary Worker Ants elsewhere.
Normal termites have brown or black mouthparts.
The mouthparts of this Healing Ant, however, were white.
Now, except for the newly metamorphosed adult termites, the rest in the entire ant colony had either been cultivated into special termites by Qin Niu or were in the process of evolving.
A Grade One Healing Ant appeared extremely weak within the ant colony.
Looking at this little guy, Qin Niu hesitated.
Although his success rate at cultivating termites was now very high, with a mortality rate of less than 1%, there was still some risk.
If such Healing Ants would no longer appear in the future, it would be even more precious.
But without further cultivation, the abilities of a Grade One ant were limited and its lifespan was short.
After three years, it would still die.
If indeed the mutation occurred because that Worker Ant ate the Broad-leaf Trillium leaves and then fed the young ants, then continuing to feed them the leaves should be able to produce more Healing Ants in the future.
