Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 232: Chapter 225 The Death of the Enemy General_1

Watching the Wolf Soldiers leave, Qin Niu also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

As the variety of Termite Soldier Ant species became more abundant, his understanding of how to utilize Termites also became richer.

Actually, that was quite dangerous.

Fortunately, several evolved elephant-nosed Soldier Ants had defused the crisis.

The decision to raise a nest of Termites was truly wise. Even he hadn’t expected that as the ant species continued to expand, they would become increasingly formidable.

They were no longer the tiny beings that anyone could trample to death.

Rather, they were a group of brave warriors, versatile and skilled.

Though the Wolf Soldiers had left, he still hid in the tree, not daring to move. Soldiers are never tired of deceit; should those Wolf Soldiers decide to turn back unexpectedly, his cover would be blown in an instant.

A long time passed, and the Wolf Soldiers did not return.

By now, the sky had grown quite dark.

Qin Niu quietly climbed down the tree and continued to move stealthily forward.

The midsection of the enemy camp situated in the valley indicated he had reached the edge of the enemy’s base.

If he could just get past the mountain peak ahead, he would have completely escaped the enemy’s territory.

“Don’t run!”

“You can’t escape!”

A man’s voice suddenly rose from the valley below.

Qin Niu was greatly alarmed. Had he been discovered?

He certainly did not want to fall at the last hurdle.

Taking on an army of the Nine Insect Gang by himself, he did not have that confidence.

The best thing to do now was to run desperately forward. With his cultivation, and possessing the Ink Blade and numerous pets, as long as he didn’t fall into the enemy’s encirclement, there was a great chance he could escape with his life.

Just as Qin Niu was prepared to make a desperate run for it, the man’s shrill voice echoed down the mountain again.

“Little beauty, even if you were twice as capable, you couldn’t escape from the palm of my hand. Just give in obediently! If you anger me, don’t blame me for making you suffer.”

Qin Niu steadied his nerves and looked down.

He saw a figure clad in tight white clothing, desperately fleeing up the mountain.

It must be the woman who was sent into the central command tent not long ago.

Her clothes had been stripped away, leaving only her tight white garments. In a critical moment, she had somehow managed to escape.

Perhaps Lord Song Zan had been too careless, or maybe he preferred to play with her like a cat with a mouse, seeking some excitement.

Qin Niu had had a false alarm, thinking he had been discovered.

“Little beauty, you can’t escape. I have eight thousand elite soldiers under my command. With just one order, 1 can have you completely surrounded.”

The man, while chasing the fleeing woman, was also dissipating her will to run.

He wanted to make her feel desperate and ultimately give up the attempt to flee.

Speaking of the unluckiest person, it was Qin Niu. He was about to escape the enemy’s base when this unexpected situation arose.

If he kept hiding now, once Lord Song Zan called his troops to search the mountain later, Qjin Niu would be in danger.

Escaping with all his might was even riskier.

Lord Song Zan, who was pursuing the woman, was still unaware of any outsiders. If he discovered another person, it would immediately raise his alertness. As a commander of an army, he certainly wouldn’t take risks.

The likelihood was that he would immediately call for people to come and capture Qin Niu.

“No, I can’t sit here waiting to die. The only way out is to kill this Lord Song Zan. It might not only allow me to escape but also help eliminate a strong enemy for the Black Tiger Gang.”

After formulating this idea, Qin Niu instead crouched lower, using the dim light as cover, and remained completely still.

“Poisonous Ants, now is your time to perform a great service. I need you to immediately climb onto the branches and leaves along that line ahead. As soon as Lord Song Zan comes near, climb onto him and bite him to death for me.” The Grade Three Dark Poison Ants, having evolved, posed no fatal threat with their venom, but it had an extremely potent paralyzing quality.

Once they successfully stung an enemy, they could immediately paralyze the entire body of that person.

Unable to move or call for help, they would be at Qin Niu’s mercy to be slaughtered.

The woman’s cultivation was not weak, and escaping for her life, she naturally used all her strength to run.

She quickly neared the route Qin Niu had predetermined.

She swiftly ran past, followed by the man hunting her—about fifty years old, with a lean build. His face looked somewhat pale, with deeply set eyes, extremely heavy bags under his eyes, and quite severe dark circles.

Lately, there had been many stowaways, and the soldiers below had captured quite a few beautiful young women to present to him.

He must have been indulging his body every night.

This person’s cultivation wasn’t weak, but it hadn’t reached the Innate Realm.

Qin Niu estimated that it was likely around the eighth or ninth level of the Acquired Realm, possibly a bit higher.

The fleeing woman had practiced a rather good Step-Method Martial Skill, making her as light as a swallow when she ran; her toes constantly tapping the ground, her posture elegant, her speed astonishingly fast.

The man in pursuit had also practiced a Step-Method Martial Skill, but obviously hadn’t mastered it, coming across quite awkwardly.

This led to him, despite having a much higher cultivation than the woman, not being able to catch her after all this time.

Shortly after the woman passed the spot where Qin Niu was lying in ambush, the man also arrived there.

“Hmm?”

Lord Song Zan seemed to sense something.

It was then that Qin Niu made his move, sending two War Bees, one from the left and one from the right, to attack the fleeing woman.

“Ah…”

She cried out in alarm and immediately tried to swat them away.

This caused her running speed to nearly come to a halt.

Having chased for so long, Lord Song Zan was already impatient. Seeing this perfect opportunity, he momentarily set aside his suspicions, disregarding the insect trail he had found, and focused entirely on catching the woman.

Just as he seized the woman, two Poisonous Ants fiercely stung his body.

“Ugh! Damn it.”

Lord Song Zan cursed, subconsciously raising his hand to his neck and stomping his right foot.

Because one of the Poisonous Ants was attacking his neck and the other his right leg.

With a slap, Qin Niu felt a pang of heartache.

The Grade Three Dark Poison Ant was flattened with a single slap and died instantly.

The power of one’s palm at above the ninth level of the Acquired Realm was quite terrifying.

However formidable the Termites were, they were now essentially just a more powerful insect than average, completely different from the Heavenly Earth Strange Insects that are impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire.

“Die.”

Qin Niu felt quite heartbroken over the loss of a Dark Poison Ant.

Fortunately, after the Ant Queen advanced to Grade Five, the probability of producing Poisonous Ants rose to 30%, and they were extremely toxic.

Lord Song Zan noticed that someone was suddenly attacking him with a sword. At this critical moment, he could no longer care about the woman and quickly moved to defend.

He released a large Spotted Spider.

It immediately raised its hindquarters and sprayed a large bundle of spider silk at Qin Niu’s face.

If its attack landed on Qin Niu, those twenty thousand Termites would indeed be worthless.

Fourth had already led the Termite Army to launch a Mental Attack at the first opportunity.

The Spotted Spider, being the size of an egg, definitely had a high level, but it couldn’t withstand the Mental Attack from so many Termites.

With more than four thousand Termites possessing the ability to perform a Mental Attack or Spirit Control.

The spider convulsed in pain on the ground, completely unable to attack Qin Niu anymore.

After being stung by the Poisonous Ants, Lord Song Zan felt his neck stiffen and knew it was poisoned.

Facing the slash from Qin Niu’s Treasured Sword, he felt both shock and rage, and an even deeper sense of fear.

“You, who are you?”

The response was Qin Niu’s Slash Martial Skill and the dazzling Blade Qi of the Ink Blade.

Pff!

Without any needless words, with the sword raised and dropped, Lord Song Zan’s arm was severed, and his body was diagonally split in two.

The Ink Blade was too strong.

It disregarded the soft armor vest he wore.

It was his own fault, after all, for what had befallen him.

Wanting to take advantage of the young girl, he had already removed all his armor and coat. Plus, he’d been stung by two Dark Poison Ants, and the powerful Paralyzing Venom rapidly stiffened his body and left him unable to move at will.

On top of that, Qin Niu’s cultivation was far superior to his, and it was an ambush.

A combination of factors piled up against him, leading to his instantaneous death by Qin Niu’s blade..
