Chapter 76: Chapter 71 Fourth’s Choice r

“Fourth, there are two ways to help you increase your strength. One is relatively safe, but the gain is minimal, and I suspect that’s the upper limit. Like this one.”
Qin Niu pointed at a swift worker ant.
Eating just one-tenth of a safe dose of Banyan Tree Blood poses little risk, but the upper limit is very low.
“The second way carries a high risk of death, but the increase in strength is huge. Like this!”
This time, Qin Niu was pointing at a Grade Two Lightning Worker Ant.
“I choose this one!”
Fourth seemed to have its own independent thinking ability, hesitated for a moment, and then made a decision.
It chose the Grade Two Lightning Worker Ant.
Almost all creatures’ pursuit of strength can be described as ‘fearlessly valiant’.
Including Qin Niu himself, in his pursuit of greater strength, he repeatedly took risks.
Since Fourth had made its choice, Qin Niu did not oppose it but respected its decision.
He fed it a safe dose of Banyan Tree Blood right there and then, watching nervously.
The process seemed excessively long.
Every second was like a pounding heartbeat.
Care leads to chaos.
It was precisely because Fourth was too important to Qin Niu that he felt so nervous.
To ease his excessive tension, Qin Niu began to mass-produce Ghost Soldier Ants and Puppet Worker Ants.
The creation of these two ant species seemed safer, just more time-consuming.
Moreover, they belonged to the long-range attack squad, and their power was not to be underestimated.
The Ant Queen could now lay a hundred eggs a day, and with a small jug of Thousand Eyes Tree Blood in Qin Niu’s possession, there was enough to create thousands of Ghost Soldier Ants and Puppet Worker Ants.
He made fifty Puppet Worker Ants and ten Ghost Soldier Ants in one go.
No choice, since there were only 16 ordinary soldier ants.
At this moment, Fourth’s abdomen was still swelling, looking terrifyingly tense.
Because its abdominal skin had become nearly transparent—it was approaching the critical point of bursting.
Its only remaining antenna was flailing wildly.
The strong mandibles were continuously opening and closing, and one could faintly hear a “sizzling” noise.
Its mandibles were far inferior to those of the Grade Two Lightning Worker Ant or the Tiger-striped Soldier Ant.
It was equivalent to the bite force of an ordinary strong soldier ant.
Qin Niu dared not pay too much attention to it, and in an effort to distract himself, once again took out the Banyan Tree Blood to cultivate Grade Two Lightning Worker Ants and Tiger-striped Soldier Ants.
In the process of cultivating Tiger-striped Soldier Ants, two out of four ordinary soldier ants exploded.
Out of 30 ordinary worker ants being turned into Grade Two Lightning Worker Ants, only 18 survived.
This mortality rate was alarmingly high.
Qin Niu had no choice, as riches are sought amidst dangers.
If ordinary termites wanted to evolve into Grade Two termites in just a day or two, they had to endure this extremely dangerous process.
After finishing, he checked on Fourth’s condition again.
Although its abdomen had swollen to the brink, the skin not only became transparent, but also showed a series of fine cracks, yet it did not explode. It seemed to have successfully endured the most dangerous moment.
Qin Niu did not dare to touch it immediately.
For he was frightened that any contact might burst its body.
He decided to wait patiently.
He called out the only Poison Soldier Ant.
He had three cultivation plans in his mind, feeding a safe dose of Banyan Tree Blood, one-tenth of a safe dose, or Thousand Eyes Tree Blood.
The last two cultivation plans were relatively safer.
But in terms of strength enhancement, the first plan was the strongest known to date.
“Anyway, 1 can breed more Poison Soldier Ants later. If it fails, I can accept that.”
Qin Niu wanted to see just how strong a Poison Soldier Ant would become after being cultivated with the strongest plan.
The strong soldier ant had given him a huge surprise.
Thinking this, he used the first plan to cultivate it on the spot.
He called out a swift worker ant and had it feed the Poison Soldier Ant.
