Chapter 51 - Chapter 51: Chapter 46 Grade Two Lightning Worker Ant 1 (2/2)

However, their venom should probably not be inexhaustible.

A single battle could potentially exhaust all the venom.

To replenish the venom reserve might take a day or even longer.

All of these needed to be slowly explored and observed by Qin Niu.

Moreover, its venom was only slightly toxic, so the killing effect was probably not very strong.

Qin Niu planned to bring some Banyan Tree Blood up the mountain tomorrow, and try it on two young worker ants again.

Although the first experiment resulted in the death of one young worker ant, gaining a Grade Two Lightning Worker Ant made the rewards far exceed the cost by a thousand times.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the value of ten thousand ordinary worker ants did not compare to a single Grade Two worker ant.

The Insect Master Association’s standard for recognition was that the tamed insect must be Grade Two, and the owner must be able to interact normally with the insect to be considered a qualified Insect Master.

Qin Niu simply looked down upon the status of a qualified Insect Master.

He harbored much greater ambition, aiming to become an Insect Master in one step.

By then, he would gain many privileges, no longer fearing the oppression from Wang Haikun, even the Yan Family would take the initiative to curry favor with him.

“Fourth, call all the worker ants to eat this poisonous spider!”

His knowledge of insect control was limited and did not know the name of this type of spider.

He only knew that it had white and light green patterns on its body, somewhat resembling a human-face spider, but not quite.

With his jungle survival experience, he was certain that this kind of spider was definitely poisonous, and its toxicity was extremely severe.

Old Man Liu and the other elders in the village had mentioned that in the mountains, one should never touch spiders, snakes, or mushrooms with bright colors. They were all highly poisonous.

Qin Niu had etched this in his memory.

Looking at this spider’s two long, sharp venom fangs, if bitten by it, the consequences could be dire.

“Lightning Ant, can you understand what I’m saying?”

“Yes!”

It answered crisply.

A Grade Two insect was much more powerful than Grade One.

It seemed that after evolving from an ordinary Grade One worker ant to a Grade Two lightning worker ant, its spiritual power had increased substantially.

Furthermore, as Qin Niu’s insect language became proficient, his communication with termite would also become more accurate.

Both favorable conditions together naturally allowed Qin Niu to communicate with it unimpeded.

H

Let’s give you a name, shall we call you Fifth?”

“Thank you, Master!”

It appeared quite happy.

Ordinary termites had no right to be named by Qin Niu personally, only special termites like Fourth and Fifth were entitled to this honor.

This was a form of glory.

“You also eat more of the poisonous spider’s body, and see if you can evolve any venom!”

Qin Niu commanded it.

“Okay.”

It could actually understand such a complex command directly.

That made Qin Niu happy again, for as his proficiency in insect language increased, he would no longer have to break a sentence into several parts to communicate with the insects.

One must know that his spiritual power was weak, and the number of times he could talk to the insects within a day was limited.

Fifth had already begun quickly gnawing on the body of the poisonous spider.

It was unexpectedly a go-getter.

One could tell its biting force was extremely surprising, and its gnawing speed was much faster than that of a typical worker ant.

When gnawing on the spider’s poisonous fangs and legs, other worker ants had some trouble chewing them.

Only Fourth and it could gnaw them.

Moreover, its gnawing ability was evidently much stronger than Fourth’s.

Qin Niu noticed that it secreted a liquid while it gnawed, which seemed to have a very strong corrosive effect.

This should be formic acid.

Such strong biting strength was indeed not an empty claim.

After the Lightning Ant had eaten most of it, Qin Niu then led it and two ordinary worker ants, along with two ordinary soldier ants, down the mountain.

To avoid attracting attention and to prevent dropping them on the way, he specially carried them in the small jar that had been used to contain the spider.

Once he had his Insect Master status certified, he would then be able to make his own bamboo containers for keeping insects to hang at his waist.

This type of jar was not suitable, as it did not have air holes on top and could easily suffocate them.

And being confined inside, they would feel very uncomfortable.

Made of pure natural material, bamboo had a natural scent, and bamboo tubes made from it would be pleasing to them.

Arriving at his family’s millet field, he was taken aback.

Where had the several baskets of manure stacked in the middle of the field gone?

The value of humus soil was not high in itself; who would be so foolish? To risk stealing it under the name of theft?

It was broad daylight; someone surely must have seen it.

Wang Furen probably wouldn’t do such a thing.

Nevertheless, a figure in the village, he wouldn’t degrade himself over a few baskets of fertilizer.

Qin Niu decided to ask around..
