Chapter 144 - 144 Chapter 139 Demon Ant 1 (2/2)

It looked unremarkable.

But upon closer inspection, he realized this termite was the breeder ant he had cultivated a few days ago.

It had finally completed its evolution.

It seemed that the evolution time of the breeder ant far exceeded that of a regular termite.

Female Mutated Milky Termite (Breeder Ant)

Level: Grade Two Isoptera, leveling experience 4/1000

Lifespan: 70 years

Energy: 171

Skill: Breeding First Order 0/10

Talent: Can breed Grade Two strong termites and Grade Two poisonous ants, with a very low probability of breeding Grade Two demon ants.

Looking at this newly evolved breeder ant, Qin Niu felt joy, but more than that, he was deep in thought.

Without a doubt, this breeder ant had inherited some of the Ant Queen’s special abilities.

It could produce special strong termites and poisonous ants that were Grade Two right from birth.

This was related to its own level.

If nothing unexpected happened, after it mated and laid eggs, it would automatically advance to a Grade Three termite.

What excited Qin Niu most was its very low probability to breed Grade Two demon ants.

He felt this was definitely a very special and badass ant species.

The Fourth, born from the Ant Queen, was now a Grade Three War Demon Ant.

He wondered if the demon ants bred by this breeder ant would be of the same species as the Fourth.

If they were the same species, then it meant that the Ant Queen also had the ability to breed demon ants.

He had not yet made up his mind to use the Banyan Tree Blood to cultivate the Ant Queen.

But now, he was eager to help the Ant Queen level up.

Because if the Ant Queen could advance to Grade Three, the weakest termites it produced would be Grade Two.

There were still many aspects worth exploring.

This breeder ant could be commanded by Qin Niu, but could its offspring also be under his control?

The Green Demon Bee Rearing Technique mentioned that kinship doesn’t extend beyond three generations.

Although it wasn’t explained in detail, one could infer that this contract power might be somewhat similar to blood relations.

Within three generations, one is within direct lineage, and by the time it reaches grandchildren, the connection is typically not as close.

As for great-grandchildren or even further removed relations, the bond becomes even more tenuous.

Many things can only be known after one has personally experienced them. After Qin Niu finished cultivating all the termites, he summoned the Ant Queen. Its body had become even more bloated, resembling a wriggling white grub, especially around the abdomen, which had grown long and wide.

“Master, are you ready to make me as strong as them? I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.”

The Ant Queen actually took the initiative to speak to Qin Niu.

Its intelligence seemed to have improved!

And its determination was very strong.

The Fourth, seeing other termites become incredibly strong one after another, eventually couldn’t resist pleading with Qin Niu to make it stronger.

But the Ant Queen had been quietly waiting.

It wanted to become strong, yet it also had a deep understanding of its master.

It knew the master would definitely not forget it.

“Although you’re just an insect, you understand me well. Now that you’re prepared, let’s start!”

Qin Niu didn’t waste words.

He even felt too lazy to mention the risks.

The Ant Queen was linked to his soul; if it died, Qin Niu would suffer great harm.

“Fourth, you will feed the Ant Queen.”

Qin Niu summoned his most capable subordinate.

After many appraisals and assessments of the Ant Queen, he finally concocted the appropriate dosage of Banyan Tree Blood for the Fourth to feed to the Ant Queen.

The Fourth had eaten Banyan Tree Blood once before, but now, eating it again, it showed no reaction at all.

This stuff seemed to be effective only the first time it was consumed.

Soon, the feeding of the Ant Queen was completed.

Qin Niu patiently waited. A force of powerful soldier ants stood guard around the Ant Queen.

At this moment, if that nest of black smelly ants dared to come half a step closer, they would be instantly eradicated without a trace left.

Currently, with over thirty Grade Three termites and thousands of Grade Two termites, the ant colony already possessed non-negligible strength in the outskirts of the forest.

Let alone ants, even insects known as killers like the Golden Ringed Wasp and the praying mantis, or even snakes and rodents that were powerful enemies, the ant colony could easily slaughter them.

There were two new breeder ants today, and Qin Niu had already cultivated them.

Both successfully endured the life-or-death challenge.

This also indicated that his proficiency in using Banyan Tree Blood to cultivate termites had become extremely high.

The current survival rate had reached over 99%.

Mass cultivating regular worker and soldier ants was about quantity; a slightly higher mortality rate was normal for such non-detailed cultivation.
