Chapter 176: Chapter 171: Bee General i

Translator: 549690339 |

The three Corpse Bees in the sky were very cunning, always circling at high altitude, refusing to descend.

“You little things think you can outsmart me with that little intelligence?”

Qin Niu revealed a disdainful cold sneer.

The currently captured Corpse Bee was essentially a ‘hostage’, and their coming was definitely not just to scout out the trapped location of the Corpse Bee.

Old Master Huang was extremely timid, having not shown himself in person for many days.

Instead, he sent three new Corpse Bees over.

There was only one purpose, to pinpoint this location and then figure out a way to rescue the trapped Corpse Bee.

No matter how good their eyesight was, flying that high, it was impossible to clearly discern the ‘hostage’s condition.

Descending was only a matter of time.

However, Qin Niu was not prepared to wait but was ready to communicate well with the ‘hostage1, to turn it into a qualified traitor.

With a powerful Puppet Ant army, it was too simple for Qin Niu to make a prisoner into a traitor.

“Fourth, try to control the captured Corpse Bee and make it obey.”

“We can!”

Fourth, with his remaining single antenna aimed at the Corpse Bee, outstretched his hand along with the other Worker Ants to assist in controlling it.

“Master, it’s done.”

In fact, without Fourth’s reminder, Qin Niu had already noticed that the imprisoned Corpse Bee had become ‘meek’.

This was a sign of obedience.

“Can you call down the three friends who came to save you?”

Qin Niu communicated with it in Bee Language, straightforward.

“I can! The distant bee captains won’t listen to me.”

“There’s an even more formidable one in the distance?”

Qin Niu was surprised.

“Yes, it is our leader.”

“How much longer will it take you to lay eggs?”

“Soon!”

“Call down the three friends who came to rescue you first!”

Qin Niu’s mind was racing with ways to annihilate the enemy.

Eliminating two ordinary Corpse Bees had already scared Old Master Huang into not making a move for many days.

If he could also take care of that bee captain, that would be quite nice.

Qin Niu licked his lips and subconsciously reached for the Bronze Canister at his waist. The Canister could hold a Grade Four Corpse Bee with no issue, but he didn’t know if it could contain a bee captain.

If all else failed, he would have to cut it down with one strike.

Qin Niti’s Ink Blade had already begun to show promise, able to slay even a demonic beast level Pig King, so taking care of a bee captain should not be a problem.

He knew that some formidable insects were immune to water and fire, difficult to wound with blades, but the bee captain that had not yet appeared should not be that strong.

Also, his blade was no longer ordinary. It had developed Blade Qi and was now a high-level Treasured Sword that had begun to possess a hint of spirit.

After receiving Qin Niu’s order, the imprisoned Corpse Bee began to sway its two antennae and frequently exposed its abdomen.

It could be releasing some special pheromones or emitting particular scents from its glands.

The three Corpse Bees in the sky continued to circle, but they had begun to consciously lower their flying altitude.

The bee captain hiding in the distance must be remotely commanding them.

After a while, one of the Corpse Bees made a swift dive straight down, aiming directly for the imprisoned Corpse Bee.

“Fourth, take control of this Corpse Bee with the ant army.”

The Termite Army was now far stronger than it was over ten days ago, more than doubling in number, and should be able to control even more Corpse Bees.

In an instant, the Corpse Bee that had come down to scout was taken under control.

“Tell your comrades and the bee captain in the back that the trap holding the Corpse Bee is too strong, and request their support.”

Qin Niu communicated with it in Bee Language.

It moved its antennae and flapped its wings in circles in the air, somewhat like performing a flight dance.

The other two Corpse Bees, receiving the signal, could never have dreamed that their comrade had turned traitor. They immediately dived down.

“Fourth, how many Corpse Bees can you control at the same time?”

“We should be able to manage four at a time without much problem, though not for a long duration.”

“Take control of all of them. Ghost Army, follow my command, do not launch an attack yet.”

So far, it was only the Worker Ant troops that were in combat.

The Soldier Ant forces lay dormant, fully prepared for battle.

When the two Corpse Bees in the sky dived down to about ten meters above the ground, they were immediately controlled.

It took roughly four hundred Worker Ants to control a single ordinary Grade Four Corpse Bee.

And it required the leadership of several Grade Three Worker Ants.

Those Corpse Bees were indeed powerful.

“Very good! Send a message to the bee captain stating that the prison trapping their comrades is too strong and asking for its help.”

Qin Niu gave instructions to the three controlled Corpse Bees.

After being controlled by the Termite Army, they became puppets, doing whatever they were told.

Now it was a race against time.

Because these three Corpse Bees could lose control at any moment.

If he could successfully lure the bee captain over before exposing the ruse, it would be a victory.

Compared to the ordinary Corpse Bees, the bee captain was clearly more intelligent.

It had been hiding in the distance, remotely commanding and not taking risks personally. This was probably a backup plan prepared by Old Master Huang.

If the enemy was assessed thoroughly, when necessary, the bee captain could suddenly strike and annihilate the enemy.

It might even kill Qin Niu behind the scenes.

If the enemy was found to be too powerful, it could also retreat in time to return and report.

But no matter how cunning a fox was, it couldn’t outwit a smart hunter.

Soon, Qin Niu heard a very rapid wing-beating sound in his ears. Compared to normal Corpse Bees, the sound of the bee captain flying was much fainter.

This took him by surprise.

At this moment, the day had not yet completely darkened.

Qin Niu could see the black dot in the sky growing larger and larger as it rapidly moved closer to this location.

“Such a quick flying speed!”
