To have produced one War Bee and two honey-brewing bees really is a pleasant surprise. Once they are cultivated, they can definitely become stronger.”
Qin Niu did not hesitate to carry out batch cultivation on the other 97 ordinary new Worker Bees.
The three special Worker Bees were cultivated with precision.
Perhaps his bee-breeding ability was already very strong, all three special Worker Bees survived.
Actually, whether he was cultivating Termites or honeybees, if he did precise cultivation, the mortality rate was already very low.
He was very much looking forward to the evolved form of the War Bee.
Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees were already quite powerful, and the Wat- Bee was already so formidable even before evolution; after evolution, it was sure to be a war god among bees.
In fact, his Queen Bee was a War Bee.
But the Queen Bee was too precious to take any chances, and he would never easily allow the Queen Bee to fight the enemy.
The Queen Bee’s job was to become a qualified egg-laying machine.
To improve the ability to breed special bees as much as possible.
There was another point that surprised him.
Out of the hundred honeybees that the Queen Bee had produced this time, all three special Worker Bees were Grade Two bees.
This also meant that their potential for growth was higher.
Because they had started off so high.
With this evolution complete, they would surely be able to advance to Grade Three honeybees. In terms of rank, they were only one grade below the ordinary Corpse Bees.
One must know, those Corpse Bees were bred by Old Master Huang after countless strenuous efforts, consuming a large amount of time and resources, following endless experiments.
Qin Niu had not been raising this batch of honeybees for very long and had already managed to breed Grade Three honeybees.
An absolutely proud achievement.
He was even considering, once those Corpse Bee eggs hatched, trying crossbreeding them with the honeybees.
As they were different species, whether crossbreeding would be successful was still hard to say.
That night, Qin Niu was helping the Yan Family exterminate insects.
He sensed some movement from the Termites he had placed near the two Corpse Bees. Surely, this was Old Master Huang unable to resist making a move once again.
Qin Niu was secretly pleased.
He immediately recalled the Termite Army used for extermination and quickly headed to the mountains.
All along the way, he was very vigilant.
Now that he had that batch of honeybees in his home, if a stranger entered, the honeybees would immediately sound the alarm.
The timid Diamond Ink Turtle could also serve as a good sentinel.
It was connected to Qin Niu’s spirit.
Upon detecting foreign invaders, despite its timidity, it had no problem sending Qin Niu timely warnings.
No invasions at home had occurred, only the place in the mountains where the two Corpse Bees were stored was signaling something unusual; this indicated that Old Master Huang did not know the whereabouts of Qin Niu’s home.
Or that he hadn’t invaded it.
Qin Niu’s Everlasting Spring Technique had now reached the Second Layer of the Acquired Realm, and when he ran at full strength, his speed was astonishingly fast.
After entering the mountains, he slowed down his pace, constantly vigilant and scrutinizing his surroundings.
Because no one could be certain whether Old Master Huang had come personally.
For the moment, no enemy tracks were found.
“Fourth, you all try hard to sense the environment around us, alert me immediately if you detect anything unusual.”
He had over two thousand special Termites on him, which was like wearing over two thousand radars on his body.
According to the timeline, the first batch of a thousand ant eggs laid by the Ant Queen should be transforming into adult ants in these couple of days.
By then, his grasp of fighting the enemy would be even greater.
As Qin Niu gradually approached the location where the Corpse Bees were stored.
Fourth sent out a warning.
“Master, be careful, there seem to be some formidable insects around.”
Qin Niu faintly heard the whirring sound overhead like that of a bomber plane. Without looking, he knew it was the sound of Corpse Bees flapping their wings.
It seemed Old Master Huang’s criminal intent was not extinguished; he had ultimately been unable to resist sending out the Corpse Bees again.
Having suffered two major losses in a row, Old Master Huang would definitely be more cautious and careful if he dared to make another move.
“Fourth, are the formidable insects you’re referring to the Corpse Bees above us?”
Qin Niu asked it.
“No.”
Fourth’s only remaining antenna kept swinging; it was trying hard to sense the enemy’s position.
“It’s somewhat like our natural enemy!”
Fourth seemed to have made a discovery.
“Natural enemy?”
Termites have many natural predators, with the most formidable being pangolins and anteaters.
Their long tongues can probe deep into ant nests to capture termites or ants.
In comparison, termites are more popular.
Because they’re more nutritious and taste better.
“Not good, they’re approaching rapidly in this direction.”
Following Fourth’s warning, Qin Niu also heard the rustling sound.
It was like a large swarm of insects crawling quickly on the jungle floor.
“Prepare for battle!”
Qin Niu gave the command.
Old Master Huang dared to make a comeback this time, using not just one type of insect, but having Corpse Bees find the location where Qin Niu hid the War Bee and then set up an ambush.
He wanted to turn the tables and ambush Qin Niu instead.
Indeed, the old are more experienced.
At this moment, dark red ants slightly bigger than green beans appeared in his line of sight.
Although the moonlight wasn’t very bright, their appearance could still be clearly seen when they got closer.
These were the most notoriously famous Army Ants.
Moreover, judging by their size, they were not ordinary Army Ants but rather a hybrid of Killer Ants that had been bred over several generations.
The number was not clear at the moment.
Qin Niu’s Termite Army immediately arranged their formation to meet this formidable enemy.
Fourth was the fiercest, demonizing and able to bite one to death with a single bite.
Over five hundred special Soldier Ants, equally valiant, engaged in the first round of concentrated mental attacks, after which the front row had already begun a fierce battle with the enemy.
It was evident that these Army Ants were probably Grade Three.
Their combat ability was slightly weaker than that of Grade Three termites.
But they were evidently stronger than Grade Two termites.
The number was at least several thousand.
Old Master Huang’s resources were incredibly deep, indeed not something that a recently risen Qin Niu could compare with.
“Something’s wrong, they seem to be poisonous!”
Fourth was the first to engage in close combat with the enemy and also the first to notice something was amiss.
“Don’t make direct contact with them, use mental attacks.”
Qin Niu immediately made a decision and ordered the Termite Army to retreat in an organized manner.
At this moment, the unified front of the Termite Army became apparent.
The Soldier Ants at the front held the defensive line firmly, providing valuable time for the termites behind them to retreat.
“Climb onto me. Use mental attacks against the enemy!”
Qin Niu issued an order to the termites.
“Master… I feel a bit numb!”
Fourth was already showing signs of being poisoned.
“Fourth, were you poisoned when you bit them?”
“Right! Their bodies are covered in poison.”
It was unknown what kind of poison these Army Ants bore on their bodies?
Qin Niu had already taken out the Ink Blade, aiding the termites in slaying the surging Army Ants.
However, their numbers seemed inexhaustible.
They kept coming continuously, dense and innumerable.
And their speed of action was extremely fast.
Having the termites crawl on him to form an Insect Armor and using mental attacks and Spirit Control against the enemy insects was his first time doing so.
