Chapter 213: Chapter 208: Grade Four Demon Ant VS War Demon Ant_1

Translator: 549690339 |

One mountain cannot contain two tigers.

Both sides were rare species among the termites, belonging to the cream of the crop.

Neither would easily submit to the other.

Qin Niu watched the two Demon Ants face off against each other like an emperor observing two of his great generals in a dispute.

If it were the art of balancing power in the eyes of an emperor, this would be a good thing.

If there were no treacherous officials in the court, only loyal ones, the emperor’s throne would no longer be secure.

But the current situation was different!

He was their master, and the termites had no conflicts over power or profit.

Pets generally have a simple mind; they pursue survival and growth.

They didn’t care much for power.

Every termite in the colony was equal.

The weak submitted to the strong and followed the commands of the strong, such were their social rules.

“If you must fight, then fight! No need for a fight to the death, just determine the winner.”

Qin Niu was very clear that if he didn’t let them have this fight, they would never listen to each other in the future.

This was not conducive to the unity of the ant colony.

Fourth seemed to have been restraining himself all along, just waiting for Qin Niu’s word.

With his master’s command, he went straight into his demonization state and then lunged at his opponent.

The Grade Four Demon Ant, although very powerful, was not a match for Fourth in terms of combat experience or the burst of power after demonization. Moreover, it was significantly weaker in terms of momentum as well.

As soon as the battle started, Fourth nearly had the upper hand.

Biting its neck, he lifted it face-up. It wildly twisted its abdomen trying to attack Fourth with its poison sting, but it couldn’t reach at all.

And given Fourth’s defensive power, it probably wouldn’t have been able to penetrate Fourth’s defenses.

Its six legs flailed in the air, powerless.

This was Fourth still holding back.

Otherwise, its neck would have already been bitten off.

After demonization, Fourth’s attack power increased tenfold, absolutely terrifying to the extreme.

“Do you submit?”

Qin Niu inquired of the Grade Four Demon Ant.

Despite the similarity in name between a Demon Ant and a War Demon Ant, there was a huge difference in strength between the two.

“No, I don’t.”

It had been held high by Fourth before even beginning to fight, rendering it unable to display its abilities, and it utterly refused to accept this.

“Fourth, put it down and fight again.”

Fourth immediately put it down.

The Grade Four Demon Ant was very cunning, twisting its rear and attempting to sting Fourth with its poison sting right away.

This time, Fourth didn’t show any courtesy.

He dodged agilely and bit at the Grade Four Demon Ant’s antennae.

Crack!

The antennae of the Grade Four Demon Ant were bitten off but not completely severed.

This was Fourth showing mercy.

After biting off the Grade Four Demon Ant’s antennae, he bit one of its legs, just as decisively breaking it.

That wasn’t all, he mounted the Grade Four Demon Ant again, bit its neck, flipped it over his shoulder, and then raised it high above his head.

“I submit, I submit!”

The Grade Four Demon Ant acknowledged its inferiority and hurriedly submitted.

No matter how unruly it was, it already knew it was no match for Fourth.

If Fourth had not shown mercy, it would have ended up a one-horned ant.

And additionally with a leg broken off.

“Healing Ant, heal it.”

Qin Niu ordered the Healing Ant to treat the Grade Four Demon Ant’s injuries.

The commotion in the ant colony settled down as the battle ended, and calm was restored.

The Grade Four Demon Ant had a strong self-healing ability, and now with the Healing Ant’s treatment, it recovered even faster.

It healed back to its original state almost visibly to the naked eye.

Sometimes, not only insects but also humans act the same way.

When two people’s cultivation levels are nearly equal, neither will concede to the other. Only through a fight can one know who is stronger and who is weaker.

After this battle, Fourth’s position as the king of the ant colony remained unshaken by any termite.

Even the Grade Four Demon Ants were subdued by him, and other termites challenging him would essentially be delivering themselves to defeat.

“The strength of the War Demon Ant is so formidable, it would be great if the Ant Queen could produce one or two more,”

Just now, Fourth hadn’t used his Spirit Control ability, otherwise, the battle might have ended even quicker.

Although the Grade Four Demon Ant’s combat power was less than Fourth’s, it was still very formidable.

Qin Niu was not stingy, he took a small amount of the limited remaining Thousand Eyes Tree Blood to nurture this Demon Ant sufficiently.

To grant it a Spirit Control ability as well.

Merely after one day, this Demon Ant had completed its second evolution.

Regrettably, it hadn’t broken through to Grade Five.

It feels like the higher the level of the creatures, whether humans or insects, the more difficult it becomes to advance.

This Demon Ant seemed to have reached the pinnacle of Grade Four, and with the right opportunity, it could make a breakthrough and successfully advance to Grade Five.

As the ant colony continued to expand, Qin Niu now faced the issue of a shortage of Thousand Eyes Tree Blood.

Despite thinking of many solutions, it still required time to wait.

The Thousand Eyes Trees he had planted, even with a rapid growth rate, had their limitations.

This forced him to scale back on cultivating the group.

Only the most excellent batch of termites could receive a second round of nurturing.

It had been some time since he fed the bodies of Corpse Bees to the Ant Queen, and the three generals’ bodies were already consumed.

Yet, the Ant Queen still hadn’t evolved any new special abilities.

Qin Niu had begun using the Corpse Bee Queen, extracted from Old Master Huang’s back, to feed the Ant Queen, hoping it would help her evolve special abilities.

He felt it might be because the Ant Queen’s current level was high, so the difficulty of evolving special abilities had also increased significantly.

In the past few days, despite the rumors of Insect Masters being harmed persisting outside, Qin Niu, accompanied by Xiao Qing, continued their routine cultivation each day without running into any danger.

The small mountain village of Shuangfeng Village remained peaceful and harmonious.

After finishing his cultivation in the mountains, Qin Niu would return home as usual.

As he passed by Xie Laizi’s house, he keenly sensed something amiss.

Xie Laizi had been dead for some time, and because his house was originally very dilapidated and located at the foot of the mountain, it was considered a very unfavorable spot.

His house had been left vacant ever since.

Nobody dared to move in.

Qin Niu, now at the Innate Realm, had exceptionally acute hearing.

He could clearly hear a strange noise coming from inside the house just now.

It definitely wasn’t a noise a rat could make.

The front door wasn’t locked, but it was closed.

Qin Niu wondered to himself, could it be that a wild beast from the mountains had entered the house through the back window?

After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately decided not to investigate.

Instead, he continued forward with Xiao Qing.

He hadn’t walked far when he sensed danger. He couldn’t explain it but felt extremely threatened; even the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.

It was nearing dusk, and the sky had darkened.

He was suddenly alarmed, wondering if a monstrous beast had infiltrated Xie Laizi’s house?

“Xiao Qing, I’ll hold your hand as we walk,”

Concerned for Xiao Qing’s safety, Qin Niu quickly took her small hand in his.

“Master, my scalp feels a bit tingly. There might be danger,”

she whispered softly.

“Mm, let’s just keep moving forward. If it’s targeting me, it will definitely reveal itself,”

Qin Niu had secretly ordered some Poisonous Ants to silently leap into the roadside bushes without making a sound.

Just then, a black snake with a crested head suddenly sprang out from in front of them, aiming for his ankle.

He was wearing the armor of the Pig King, which the small snake would probably have difficulty piercing through.

However, out of caution, he acted.

First, he pulled Xiao Qing back, and at the same time, his right hand drew the Ink Blade with lightning speed and slashed towards the black snake.
