Chapter 117: Chapter 112: The Second Level 3 Termite i

Translator: 549690339

Four Grade Two Green-Scale Giant Worker Ants, lifespan 13.3 years, special abilities (super endurance, immense strength, powerful biting and chewing, the formic acid they spit out can assist with the healing of plant wounds. Primary green scales.)

Compared with the Grade Two Lightning Worker Ants, it lacked the swift attribute in its special abilities but gained immense strength, super endurance, and primary green scales.

One should know that the immense strength special ability, so far, was only possessed by the evolved Fourth.

Their size was twice as large as the Grade Two Lightning Worker Ants.

Their mandibles, maxillae, labial palpi, and six legs were all more robust, making them seem like small giants among the worker ants.

Undoubtedly, their work efficiency would also be higher.

Qin Niu compared them with the Grade Two Tiger-striped Iron Armor Ants and felt that the evolution directions of the worker and soldier ants were completely different.

Worker ants were evolving towards logistic supports, while soldier ants were leaning towards combat efficiency.

This was quite good.

However, within the worker ants, there was also a special force evolving towards combat, which was the Puppet Ants.

After reviewing the attributes of the evolved Green-Scale Giant Worker Ants, his gaze fell on the Grade Two Tiger-striped Iron Armor Ant next to Fourth.

Its size had grown a bit larger.

Its head had increased by two sizes compared to before but not as exaggerated as the Big-headed Puppet Ants and Big-headed Ghost Ants.

Its antennae, like those of the Ghost Ants, were braided together like a twist cord, with the base merging into one large pedestal.

Furthermore, the green patterns on its body had become a few degrees more intricate.

The color had also deepened a bit.

When it emerged from the nest, it was in front of the four Grade Two Green-Scale Giant Worker Ants, lagging only half a body’s length behind Fourth.

It seemed its status and identity within the ant colony were firmly established as third place.

Qin Niu eagerly checked its attributes.

One Grade Three Tiger-striped Iron Armor Ghost Ant, lifespan 11.66 years, special abilities (armor piercing, possesses primary carapace, frenzy; in a frenzied state, speed increases threefold, attack power tenfold, and defense power doubles. Capable of emitting mental attack waves to other insect species, with a certain probability of severely wounding the enemy, causing them to go insane or lose the ability to move.)

My goodness, it had actually evolved directly from Grade Two to a Grade Three termite.

Its special abilities were insanely powerful.

Not only did it possess terrifying close-combat skills, but it also had the capability of mental wave attacks, essentially possessing long-range attack capabilities.

1 was truly looking forward to its performance on the battlefield.

It might well stand out on its own.

Qin Niu also discovered an interesting fact—ail the soldier ants seemed to obey its commands.

Including the Dark Poison Ant, which likewise looked up to it as the leader.

And it in turn followed Fourth’s commands.

Conversely, Fifth, who had initially been chosen by Qin Niu to serve as the Grade Two commander, had now become ordinary, lost among the crowd.

Primarily because the entire ant colony’s evolution was too rapid.

Qin Niu was almost helping a group of termites evolve every day.

Therefore, the number of the strong kept increasing.

The Grade Two Lightning Worker Ants were initially the most impressive, but now they were completely unable to compare with those fancy high-grade breeds of ants.

Especially exceptional beings like Fourth and the Grade Three Tiger-striped Iron Armor Ghost Ant.

Next, he went through the entire ant colony one by one, doing a roll call.

The two Ghost Soldier Ants and Puppet Worker Ants used for experiments, after consuming the Banyan Tree Blood, failed to advance but only gained an ability to crawl or attack swiftly. They were still Grade One termites.

This result was close to what Qin Niu had deduced.

If the Ghost Ants and Puppet Ants wanted to evolve a second time, they needed to consume more Banyan Tree Blood.

But now that they had consumed Banyan Tree Blood once, eating it a second time was ineffective.

It also meant that they lost the chance to advance to Grade Two termites with the help of Banyan Tree Blood.

Their lifespan and special abilities were no match for those fully evolved Grade Two termites.

This was very regrettable.

Fortunately, these ant species were easy to cultivate, and they were originally bred from ordinary termites.

Having become sacrificial subjects for experiments, there was nothing Qin Niu could do about it.

Looked at from another angle, they still came out ahead.

Originally having only a few months or up to three years to live, now their lifespan had increased greatly, and their special abilities were more than ten times stronger than those of ordinary termites. They had lived a glorious life.

One Puppet Ant, after being fed a sufficient amount of Thousand Eyes Tree Blood, successfully advanced.

One Grade Two Lightning Puppet Worker Ant, lifespan 14 years, special abilities (swiftness, powerful biting and chewing, the formic acid they spit out can assist with the healing of plant wounds. Has a certain probability of controlling other insect species; the lower the controlled creature’s grade, the more likely the control will be successful.)

Not bad, it was tantamount to a combination of a Grade Two Lightning Worker Ant and a Puppet Worker Ant.

Its lifespan was one year longer than that of a regular Grade Two Lightning Worker Ant.

In terms of mobility and defensive capabilities, it was much stronger than a regular Puppet Worker Ant.

Qin Niu checked the two Grade Two Lightning Worker Ants used for experiments, after feeding them Thousand Eyes Tree Blood, they evolved into Grade Two Lightning Puppet Worker Ants just the same, the abilities were exactly identical.

It appeared that they were converging to the same result.

No matter if they were first fed Thousand Eyes Tree Blood or Banyan Tree Blood, their ultimate evolution was into the same ant species.

The only difference being, if first fed a sufficient quantity of Banyan Tree Blood, allowing them to advance to Grade Two, and then fed Thousand Eyes Tree Blood, the entire evolution process seemed a bit safer and easier.

And it consumed less Banyan Tree Blood.

This time he brought over a good quantity of Banyan Tree Blood and Thousand Eyes Tree Blood, and the cultivation of the ant colony began anew.

Having accumulated many successful experiences, he operated with more safety and efficiency.

He did not rush into cultivating under the Ancient Banyan Tree.

Instead, he chose to postpone it by one day, first allowing Fourth to consume Thousand Eyes Tree Blood, helping it to evolve a special long-range attack ability.
