Chapter 131 - Chapter 131: Chapter 126 Elephant Trunk Soldier Ant 1 (2/2)

Xu Zhenchang didn’t even think before he agreed.

Buying fishing nets wouldn’t cost much, and with Wang Furen sharing the expense, it would be even less.

It was far more cost-effective than hiring a large number of people to catch locusts every day.

And as long as they truly could stop the locusts from entering the village, the disaster would be halted.

After giving guidance, Qin Niu took Xiao Nui to the mountains, he would come back tomorrow to see the results.

Once in the mountains, he returned the over two hundred termites that he had brought down from the mountain the previous night to their nests.

Now, the mountains had become his workplace.

“All new termites, come out to me,”

Qin Niu commanded the ant colony.

Every day, nine or ten new members would emerge, and he would then cultivate them using the Banyan Tree Blood.

Unlike before, this time a whole swarm of young ants came out all at once.

Qin Niu was completely taken aback.

“Could it be that the first batch of one hundred eggs laid by the Ant Queen has all metamorphosed into adult ants?”

He was excited.

On inspecting the ant colony’s attributes, they were indeed just as he had speculated.

Time flies so fast!

He had not expected that from the day the Ant Queen could lay one hundred eggs, more than twenty days had already passed.

All of them had managed to transform into adult ants.

“Sixty-seven regular Worker Ants, one Power Worker Ant, two Poison Worker Ants. Twenty-five regular Soldier Ants, three Poison Soldier Ants, one Elephant Nose Soldier Ant, one Breeder Ant,”

After inspecting the attributes of these one hundred young ants, Qin Niu was filled with endless surprise.

In the past, he had longed for the emergence of a termite with special attributes.

Now that the base number had increased, there was not only a Power Worker Ant but also two Poison Worker Ants and one Elephant Nose Soldier Ant, as well as a Breeder Ant—these were all very special existences.

That Breeder Ant, once it grew up, should be able to fly off to mate.

He wondered if it successfully established a new termite empire, would it still be considered Qin Niu’s pet?

Could he also command it?

These questions were yet to be tested.

The Elephant Nose Soldier Ant was a very special type of ant.

They could release chemical substances to attack the enemy.

They could be considered a superior version of the Poisonous Ant.

However, it differed greatly from the Poisonous Ant.

Theoretically, the Elephant Nose Soldier Ant could also manifest a poisonous attribute.

But the probability of that happening was extremely low.

Just imagine, it took a hundred young ants to produce one Elephant Nose Soldier Ant; probably five or six thousand young ants would be needed to have the chance of producing one with the poisonous attribute.

According to Qin Niu’s experience in cultivating ant colonies, the more attributes a termite had at birth, the greater its growth potential was.

For instance, a Power Soldier Ant, if cultivated successfully, could immediately become a Grade Three Tiger Striped Iron Armor Ghost Ant.

Whereas a regular Soldier Ant’s growth peak was a Grade Two Striped Phantom Ant.

There was also a vast difference in their combat abilities.

Ten Striped Ants were no match for one Tiger Striped Iron Armor Ant.

And as for a special existence like Fourth, it was even harder to come by.

He seriously doubted it could be replicated.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of them one by one to ensure that each is cultivated properly,”

Qin Niu was not worried about Banyan Tree Blood at all; it was the Thousand Eyes Tree Blood that was a bit more difficult to obtain. Because their numbers were few and the plants were small, he couldn’t harvest much at a time.

Fortunately, the amount needed to cultivate one termite was very little.
