As he approached, he used the Ink Blade to pry open the clothes on Old Master Huang’s body.
“Good heavens, what is this?”
He found a Corpse Bee on Old Master Huang’s back that was even larger than a fist, and it had died.
It had been split in half along with Old Master Huang’s corpse.
But this Corpse Bee was actually growing inside Old Master Huang’s flesh.
Centered around it, that large piece of flesh was all black, similar to that of the dead woman. The skin was covered with wrinkles and revealed scars resembling pustules.
This man was truly no ordinary type of crazy, to be nurturing insects within his own body.
How was this any different from those legendary Gu Masters?
And judging by the state of this wound on his back, he must have endured tremendous pain every day.
No wonder crushing a bee would drive Old Master Huang to madness, fighting for his life against him.
The Corpse Bees he had painstakingly raised at such a great cost, each one was treated like a treasure by Old Master Huang.
‘This one on Old Master Huang’s back must be the Queen Bee,”
Qin Niu looked at this Corpse Bee, larger even than a bee general, and secretly guessed at its identity.
A normal Corpse Bee would not be something Old Master Huang would have kept inside his body.
“The body of the Queen Bee must be even more nutritious than that of a bee general. Digging it out to feed the Ant Queen would be excellent.”
Thinking it, he did it.
He indeed dug out the body of the Queen Bee using the Ink Blade.
At the tail end of it, an obvious sunken wound could be seen on Old Master Huang’s back.
“Could it be that the Queen Bee laid its eggs here? Then, using the rotting flesh on Old Master Huang’s back as an incubator?”
That was simply terrifying.
He cut open the piece of rotten flesh and indeed found a bee egg.
This was an unhatched bee egg.
The ordinary Corpse Bee that Qin Niu had captured had also laid an egg. But that egg could only hatch into a male bee.
He had originally planned to let that Corpse Bee hatch the egg.
But it seems things were not as he had imagined.
Now, that Corpse Bee, including the bee generals, were all dead.
Qin Niu now only had two bee eggs in his possession.
He carefully stored the bee eggs, and the Queen Bee’s body was also separately kept.
The Ant Queen was his key cultivation focus, he definitely wanted to use the best resources to feed the Ant Queen, nurturing it to become stronger.
The Ant Queen now had a lifespan of thirty thousand years, and its special abilities were also stronger than before.
He dared not imagine, if he kept nurturing it, how strong it would become in the future?
It would definitely be far more impressive than this Queen Bee.
He continued to search Old Master Huang’s corpse, and then he found two more things.
A dark green token.
Nine Insect Command.
What was this token about?
“Qin Niu felt that this token seemed very advanced. On its back, there were intricate patterns etched, along with a name and position.
Huang Zhiqiu, Executor.
Since Old Master Huang’s surname was Huang, the name carved on the token was likely his real name.
This indicated that Old Master Huang’s identity was that of an Executor.
Nine Insect? Qin Niu could only think of the Nine Insect Gang.
Could it be that Old Master Huang was an Executor for the Nine Insect Gang? If that was the case, then why didn’t this man reside within the Nine Insect Gang’s territory, but instead live within Black Tiger City? What was he plotting? Qin Niu thought about it but decided not to take the token with him. Instead, he planned to bury it at the base of the Ancient Banyan Tree.
The name written on Old Master Huang’s waist tag was Huang Yusheng.
Had he taken a false name to deceive others?
That meant Old Master Huang’s motives for hiding in Black Tiger City were even more complicated.
The Nine Insect Gang’s strength was truly terrifying.
Just any executor was already this terrifying, let alone the protector, elders, vice gang leader, and gang leader, who were likely to be even more horrifying. “Could it be that the Nine Insect Gang wants to swallow up the Black Tiger Gang?”
Such a possibility could not be ruled out.
After all, the Nine Insect Gang had already managed to absorb the Seven-Star Sect.
Human desires are endless; consuming the territory of one faction only leads to thoughts of devouring more, slowly growing stronger, eventually becoming a super sect.
Every Immortal Sect’s rise is built on an incalculable amount of resources.
Pouring a wealth of resources into a few geniuses, making them become more and more powerful, until they ultimately step through the Immortal Gate.
Qin Niu realized that killing Old Master Huang might have already spoiled the good deeds of the Nine Insect Gang.
This was already an entanglement in the gang strife.
If discovered, he would be mercilessly erased by the experts of the Nine Insect Gang.
There was even a possibility of being captured and subjected to severe torture for information.
At this thought, he couldn’t help but shiver.
This matter must not be known by a third party, otherwise, Qin Niu’s situation would become exceedingly dangerous.
Even the villagers of Shuangfeng Village would face a disaster of total annihilation.
“Old Master Huang’s two subordinates, as well as he himself, are all killed.
There should be no one else who knows about this,” Qin Niu pondered, while his hands did not stop moving.
He continued to search the bodies.
Finally, he found a notebook in a secret pocket of Old Master Huang’s clothes.
It seemed to be something Old Master Huang carried with him and made notes in from time to time.
It contained records of Old Master Huang’s experiences with cultivating insects and some personal experiences.
Something akin to a diary.
The most frequent entries were about the cultivation of Corpse Bees.
Since Qin Niu had not yet subdued the Golden Toad, he did not waste time studying the notebook in detail.
Instead, he put it away, planning to read it carefully when he had the time.
Not finding any Cultivation Techniques or Martial Skills implied that Old Master Huang probably did not carry these things on his person.
Sneaking into Old Master Huang’s residence to look for them?
The idea was tempting, but Qin Niu was too cautious, fearing that doing so would lead to exposure and putting himself at risk of being watched.
Wliat he wanted most was Old Master Huang’s Step-Method Martial Skill.
It was unfortunate that the other party did not carry it with him, and now that the man was likely one of the Nine Insect Gang’s executors and the body yielded no results, he had to decisively give up the idea.
After a thorough search, finding no other items of use, his gaze shifted to the Golden Toad.
A long, slender insect had been vomited out by it.
Entirely dark red, it resembled a piece of intestine.
This insect seemed to be already dead.
It was covered with a lot of mucus.
Even with Qin Niu’s two-star Insect Identification skills, he could not determine the origin of this insect.
Since it could control the Golden Toad, it certainly was no ordinary insect.
The Golden Toad had already leaped towards the outskirts of the Ancient Banyan Tree.
With a single jump, it could reach two to three meters in height and seven to eight meters in distance, which was quite impressive.
This was probably not the full extent of its abilities.
Qin Niu simply followed nonchalantly behind it, watching it attempt to escape.
If the Golden Toad could truly get away, then it was just his bad luck.
He would definitely keep his promise, allowing the Golden Toad to return to nature.
After all, he had obtained over ten thousand Silver Money from Old Master Huang’s body, which was enough for him to break even.
The price of an Advanced Contract Talisman was a hundred taels of silver.
After a frenzy of jumping forward, the Golden Toad returned to its original spot.
Seeing this scene, Qin Niu cracked a smile.
The experience he had when he was first trapped here was extremely similar to what the Golden Toad was going through.
“No worries, I have plenty of time, you just keep escaping! I won’t stop you,” said Qin Niu to the Golden Toad in a leisurely manner.
