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

Chapter 260: Chapter 253 Pretending to Be a Pig to Eat a

Tigeri

At that moment, other Insect Masters were all in disarray, only a few with strong abilities could fend off the enemy relatively composedly.

Qin Niu remained leisurely and unrestrained as he charged straight toward the enemies ahead.

Capture the king in order to capture the thieves.

Capturing or killing the enemy meant the insects would naturally be nothing to worry about.

He was already secretly probing for the enemy’s hiding spot.

So long as it wasn’t Elder Jiu Yin himself, he should be capable of fighting them.

“Qin Niu, don’t be reckless! Quickly come back!”

Master He Shan saw Qin Niu taking the lead and charging directly toward the front, and he urgently called out from behind.

“No worries, I’ve heard that Elder Jiu Yin’s fourth disciple, Zhu Zhu, is the most trash, just about anyone can wipe him out.”

Qin Niu answered loudly, sporting a semblance of a foolhardy chap.

Without looking back, he charged into the depths of the woods ahead.

This narrow path, due to the lack of frequent travelers, was overgrown with weeds and trees on both sides.

The enemy could easily hide anywhere, making them very difficult to spot.

Qin Niu had deliberately taunted that fourth disciple, Zhu Zhu, quite loudly, the purpose being to enrage the enemy.

Only this way could he coax the enemy into revealing themselves.

He was posing as a rookie who had just entered the battlefield, practically offering his head on a platter.

After galloping less than two hundred meters, he faintly heard the sound of something cutting through the air in his ears.

It was an exceptionally vigorous Steel-winged Wild Bee, but it seemed to be somewhat different from the ordinary ones.

Its abdomen sported ink-green, wavy patterns.

The Green Demon once became famous in a single battle, leading many Insect Masters to covet the Green Demon Bee as their dream insect pet. Even Zhu Zhu, a disciple of Elder Jiu Yin, was no exception.

He also kept a Steel-winged Wild Bee as a pet and had extensively cultivated it.

This was truly an eye-opener for Qin Niu.

The Green Demon Bee egg he had received was still incubating. Compared to these rejected products—Steel-winged Wild Bees—it was definitely much stronger.

It was a pity it hadn’t hatched yet; otherwise, he could have arranged a fight between the Green Demon Bee and this Steel-winged Wild Bee.

It would be a good test of its combat power.

This Steel-winged Wild Bee was as thick as a baby’s arm.

It had at least reached the Bee General Level.

Ordinary Steel-winged Wild Bees are mostly Grade Four.

To reach the Bee General Level means at least Grade Five or above.

This Steel-winged Wild Bee was so massive and its flight speed was amazingly fast, indicating that it might be even more formidable than a regular Grade Five Bee General.

Given time and further cultivation, it should be able to reach Grade Six.

But now, it was actually charging at Qin Niu, which was like delivering high- class insect food to his doorstep.

Qin Niu looked terrified on the surface, but uncooperatively took out a Metal Bug Canister in his hand.

“Come on, come into my bowl!”

He chanted like a charlatan.

Unexpectedly, the Steel-winged Wild Bee obediently flew into his Insect Jar.

He quickly sealed the lid.

A Grade Five Bee General effortlessly caught, exhilarating.

However, from a large tree not far away, there came the sound of heavy panting.

Clearly, someone was infuriated by his actions.

The enemy had already revealed their whereabouts, and Qin Niu was about to pretend to be in a pitiful state to lure the enemy in.

He didn’t expect that the enemy had already launched their fiercest attack.

A Phantom Jumping Spider the size of a sea-bowl leapt down from a tree and swiftly pounced towards Qin Niu.

Its upper body rose, and its hind part bent forward, lining up its spinneret holes aimed at Qin Niu.

A large volume of spider silk sprayed out.

The target was Qin Niu’s face, intending to blind his eyes with the silk, and plug up his nostrils and mouth.

“Wow, this jumping spider must be at least Grade Six. It hasn’t reached Grade Seven, though.”

Such an impressive insect just makes one envious at the sight.

If I could slaughter it, the food for cultivating the Ant Queen and Green Demon Bee would be immediately taken care of.

And it would be very high-end food.

For omnivorous insects wanting to evolve, the best food is the corpses of other insects.

Preferably those of a higher grade than themselves.

A Grade One insect consuming the corpse of a Grade Three insect might not guarantee evolution, but it would at least greatly aid in their evolution.

Qin Niu’s Termite Ant Queen is extremely special; it has now evolved into a Four-Winged Yin Ant, having awakened a trace of an ancient rare insect’s superior bloodline. After eating high-end food, its conversion rate is higher than before.

Previously, after consuming bear blood and meat, it immediately developed the special ability of the Termite to reproduce with great strength.

Latterly, having consumed a poisonous insect, it developed the ability to produce toxic termite offspring.

This Phantom Jumping Spider is a Grade Six insect, and quite large at that.

It would definitely reap great benefits if consumed.

Qin Niu eyed the Grade Six Phantom Jumping Spider, nearly drooling.

The enemy hiding in the tree launched an attack almost simultaneously.

They leaped down silently from the tree, holding a narrow sword, stabbing towards his throat and face.

It seems the enemy knew the goods too.

Knowing that the King Pig Leather Armor he wore was very defensively strong, they chose to attack the weakest point, the face.

In a fight with an enemy, everyone aims for a one-hit kill.

No one wants to tangle foolishly.

“Hmph, you’re still lacking with those little tricks.”

A Red-eyed Golden Toad leapt out of Qin Niu’s basket, targeting the Grade Six Phantom Jumping Spider.

The Golden Toad naturally has bloodline suppression over the vast majority of insects.

Just like cats to mice, or golden eagles to foxes.

Born to suppress the opponent.

The Phantom Jumping Spider never expected Qin Niu to be keeping a Grade Seven Red-eyed Golden Toad, an alien species more powerful than ordinary pet varieties.

While the Red-eyed Golden Toad took on the Phantom Jumping Spider, Qin Niu unsheathed his sword and slashed swiftly at the attacking enemy.

No fancy movements.

Just a solid use of slashing martial skills.

After advancing his Slash Martial Skill to a small level of proficiency, using his Ink Blade gave him a 50% chance of unleashing Critical Chop, which also had a terrifying Rupture effect.

Bang!

The clash of their swords and blades resounded, with the swordplay focusing on cunning while the blade technique was all about fierceness and dominance.

The dreadful Blade Qi cut through the narrow sword like a rainbow, then tore through the enemy’s defenses amid their shocked gaze.

By then, Qin Niu finally got a clear look at his opponent.

It was a woman with a graceful figure, her specific age indiscernible, but her face was fairly attractive.

She was wearing armor.

However, in the face of his Ink Blade, ordinary armor seemed to be no more of a barrier than a piece of paper.

This time the Rupture effect wasn’t triggered, but the Critical Chop effect was.

Being able to produce a Critical Chop with every second strike was too powerful.

It left opponents struggling to defend effectively.

“You, you’re pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, plotting against me?”

She was incredibly frightened, but hanging mid-air with no leverage, she could only watch helplessly as the terrifying Blade Qi cleaved through her helmet, then split her skull open, chopping her head in two in the blink of an eye.

She wore two sets of armor, the outer was the regular armor made of Hundred- Tempering Fine Steel, which couldn’t block Qin Niu’s Ink Blade at all.

But the Soft Armor she wore inside offered strong defense.

Qin Niu’s Blade Qi hit it and actually stopped the blade’s momentum, failing to split her body in two.

This piece of Soft Armor must be a rare treasure.
