Chapter 74 - Chapter 74: Chapter 69 Finally Completed Evolution i (2/2)

In the early morning of the mountain village, the air was exceptionally fresh, and the leaves of the roadside weeds were still covered in sparkling droplets.

The entire earth had been washed by the rain.

The ground was furrowed and gullied.

The water in the stream gurgled noisily, rushing and a bit murky.

Qin Niu strode towards the mountain.

By now, his ant colony had evolved into a formidable fighting force, more than capable of handling ordinary insects.

After so many days, those Termites that had been fed Thousand Eyes Tree Blood and Banyan Tree Blood should have completed their evolution.

When he arrived at the large camphor tree, Qin Niu unexpectedly discovered that the entrance to the ant nest seemed to have shrunk considerably.

There were signs of fresh gnawing by the Termites.

The gnawed areas had sprouted healing growth from the tree trunk.

“They’ve enhanced the nest’s defense!”

Qin Niu’s eyes brightened.

The Grade Two Lightning Worker Ants and the Swift Wind Worker Ants had a special ability: their formic acid could heal plant wounds.

This scar on the tree was left by a very thick horizontal branch that had been broken under great strain, leaving a wound as big as a human head.

Fourth discovered this place was suitable for constructing a nest and started to dig deep inside, eventually hollowing out an ant tunnel.

Now they had gnawed away all the rotting wood at the tunnel entrance until reaching the fresh, live wood and then used the special ability of the Grade Two Lightning Worker Ants to help the tree heal quickly.

Eventually, they were able to construct a solid defense at the entrance of the nest by leveraging the healing tissue of the camphor tree.

Large creatures like snakes simply couldn’t get in.

Even larger centipedes couldn’t enter.

If small centipedes, stink ants, and other such insects came, just any two Grade Two Tiger-striped Soldier Ants could easily exterminate them.

With Fourth, a commander of moderate intelligence, the ant colony was truly remarkable.

Many things had been planned exceptionally well.

“Come out and let me take a look at you all!”

Qin Niu called out to his ant colony.

As their master, watching them grow stronger day by day gave him an immense sense of accomplishment and filled him with joy.

The two large Termites were the highlight of his observation today.

To his surprise, the first to climb out was a robust Soldier Ant with a large body and dark green patterns.

Its body was exceptionally stout, and its exterior shimmered with a metallic luster.

Especially its two mandibles, which were frightening to behold.

They were like a pair of steel shears with serrated edges.

There was no doubt about its destructive power.

Even compared to a dozen Grade Two Tiger-striped Soldier Ants, it appeared significantly stronger.

“Is this the evolved form of that strong Soldier Ant?”

It was also the sole surviving strong Soldier Ant.

The other one, after drinking the Banyan Tree Blood, had not survived and had exploded and perished.

Following it were seventeen Grade Two Tiger-striped Soldier Ants.

Originally there were only seven, but Qin Niu, thinking this was too few, later created ten more.

Altogether there were seventeen orderly Grade Two Tiger-striped Soldier Ants lined up behind it.

They were like a powerful army, all clad in tiger stripes.

Behind the seventeen Grade Two Tiger-striped Soldier Ants, there were also two large-headed Termites.

One of them Qin Niu had already seen; it was a Puppet Worker Ant.

But the two antennae of the other large-headed Termite had twisted together on their own, resembling a twist of rope, with the two antennae intertwined.

The bases of the antennae had thickened and grown together.

It was as if they had become a pedestal.

It made it look as if it had a horn growing on its head.

This was the transformation of an ordinary Soldier Ant after drinking Thousand Eyes Tree Blood.

Qin Niu didn’t know what special ability it had evolved, but he felt that given the long duration of its evolution, it shouldn’t be weak.

He subconsciously checked the properties of the ant colony..
