Chapter 124: Chapter 119 Exterminate Insects_i

Fourth’s only remaining antenna had already targeted the giant hornet.
It felt like a sniper rifle had zeroed in on it.
When the giant hornet was about seven or eight meters away from Fourth, its antenna began to tremble at a high frequency.
The hornet seemed completely unaware and continued to approach the hive.
As a result, the next second was tragic.
The insect’s body plummeted to the ground like a plane crashing, showing that Fourth’s effective long-range attack was around ten meters.
The other termites couldn’t compare to Fourth, as their attack range was likely much shorter.
For a Grade Three termite to deal with a Grade One giant hornet, it really seemed like bullying.
The two were simply not on the same level.
Just when Qin Niu thought the hornet was going to crash headfirst into the ground, at about two meters from the ground, it fluttered its wings and took to the air again.
It then flew directly towards Fourth.
The other termite’s antennae all pointed at the hornet, but they seemed to have received a command signal from Fourth and didn’t attack.
As the hornet flew toward Fourth, Qin Niu was somewhat worried it might attack Fourth.
To his surprise, it landed obediently in front of Fourth like a well-behaved grandchild.
Fourth, without any courtesy, climbed onto its back.
Then, the hornet took off again and flew straight toward Qin Niu.
Carrying Fourth, it fluttered in front of Qin Niu.
By the looks of it, it had been completely controlled by Fourth.
“Fourth is really too strong.”
Qin Niu extended his right hand, and the enormous Golden Ring Bumblebee, under Fourth’s guidance, steadied itself onto his palm.
Fourth swung its single horn with a hint of pride towards Qin Niu.
“Well done!”
Qin Niu was very pleased with Fourth’s performance.
Going out to hunt precious insects with the ant army in the future should become much easier.
However, his Insect Trace Identification skill was still weak, and for the time being, he couldn’t detect the traces left by those high-level insects.
The rarer and more advanced the insect, the more concealed its whereabouts.
A high level of tracking ability is required to locate their presence.
“Let’s capture this hornet now and eradicate its nest tomorrow!”
Qin Niu produced an Insect Jar and enclosed the hornet inside it.
Worried that Xiao Qing would come looking for him on the mountain if he returned late, he took the large army of termites and descended the mountain while it was still light.
The termite army had become incredibly formidable, and he was going to use them to help eliminate pests in the fields.
After arriving home and having dinner, Qin Niu said to Xiao Qing, “You can go to the backyard tonight to absorb the medicinal essence of those herbs for your cultivation, with no need to worry about them withering away!”
“All right! Thank you, Master.”
Having witnessed Qin Niu’s special abilities, she gladly accepted.
No one can refuse the temptation to grow stronger.
After making arrangements for Xiao Qing, he took the termites out the door.
The moon that night was large and round, casting a beautiful glow.
“Tomorrow is the fifteenth, I wonder how Miss Wang’s cultivation is progressing?”
Even though Qin Niu was now an Insect Master, he still had no way to intervene in other people’s family affairs.
Not just him; even the lord of Black Tiger City could not interfere in the family matters of others.
Parents’ orders and the matchmaker’s word could wholly decide who their daughters would marry.
He arrived at his cornfield, only to find that the locusts were even more numerous than in the morning.
Even at night, one could hear the constant rasping sounds of munching.
They were voraciously gnawing on the corncob leaves.
“Fourth, I leave the unified command to you. Eliminate all the pests in the field,” Qin Niu commanded as he released the termites.
There were over a hundred of them.
He couldn’t possibly take all the special termites with him; he had to leave some behind to defend the Ant Nest.
Even though the nest entrance was now very small, the Ant Queen had her own separate chamber, there was a dedicated nursery, and the nest’s defenses were very well done, but one can never be too careful when navigating the waters of uncertainty.
Qin Niu had to always be cautious.
Just as he released the termites, a frog appeared before him, and Qin Niu was startled.
Frogs would eat anything they could swallow.
Larger bullfrogs would even dare to eat mice and venomous snakes.
This frog was a smaller Spotted Frog, which was more common in the fields.
Before it could make a move, it suddenly flipped over onto its back, belly up, limbs outstretched and trembling.
Qin Niu knew it must have been the work of the Ghost Ants.
Over a hundred special termites together were like a small army, and their power was truly terrifying.
In silence, in less than a second, they had toppled the formidable Spotted Frog.
What a sin!
Seeing how powerful the termite troop was, Qin Niu was now reassured. He left the task of pest elimination to them,
while he himself started to collect insect eggs in the cornfield, accompanied by four Worker Ants.
