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

Chapter 320: Chapter 313: Killing the Ancestor is Possible_1

He always acted with extreme caution, making decisive and risky moves only when he had a very high level of assurance or was compelled to fight desperately.

Now was not that time.

After all, with the three He Family powerhouses having lost their horses and having been delayed for such a long time, catching up with Wang Wanyan and Xiao Qing among others had become very unlikely.

Qin Niu was fully capable of playing a game of hide and seek with them right here, wearing them down.

Projecting one’s cultivation externally to form a layer of radiant energy on the surface of the body provides extremely strong defense, but it also consumes a great deal of energy.

The Life-Nurturing Technique that Qin Niu practiced allowed him to have deeper reserves of energy compared to others of the same level.

This was a natural law.

In the world, nothing and no one is perfect. Where there are weaknesses, there must be strengths.

Life-Nurturing Techniques are not well-suited for combat because they lack explosive power. However, they offer enduring and profound energy, ensuring greater stamina.

The golden aura of protection exhibited by the three He Family members indicated they practiced combat-oriented techniques that had very strong explosive power.

The elder in his sixties from the Innate Realm was likely the weakest.

Having been stung by a Termite, with its potent poison, it would certainly consume a significant amount of his energy.

Even if he took a Detoxification Pill immediately after being stung, it wouldn’t take effect right away.

After swallowing a Detoxification Pill, it would take at least a quarter of an hour, or even an hour to achieve the detoxifying effect.

Because after swallowing the pill, it first has to go through the stomach and then starts to be churned.

At that point, the stomach begins to absorb the medicinal effects, but its absorption capability is relatively weak.

It isn’t until the pill enters the small intestine that the body absorbs it in large amounts, thus neutralizing the toxins inside.

There are two methods of detoxification for Detoxification Pills.

One way is for the medication to enter the bloodstream and neutralize the toxins in the body.

The other way is for it to help the body accelerate the elimination of toxins after entering the body, for example, inducing vomiting or diarrhea, sweating profusely, etc.

Higher-grade Detoxification Pills usually have dual detoxification abilities.

They can neutralize some of the body’s toxins and help the body expel most of the poisons, thus achieving the best detoxification effect.

It is hard to believe that any cultivator would be foolish enough to think that having a Detoxification Pill in hand would render them impervious to all toxins.

Once poisoned, even if one could use a Detoxification Pill to detox quickly, the body would still be in a weakened state.

And this weakened period might last quite a long time.

Qin Niu didn’t escape very far with Green Ox, but instead was ready to engage the enemy in this area with complicated terrain.

First, he would exhaust the energy of the three formidable enemies, then constantly watch for any opening from the Innate Realm powerhouse who had been bitten by the Termite.

The moment that person showed a weakness, Qin Niu would strike to kill him instantly.

“Kid, if you’re brave, stop running.”

“Idiot! If I were you and faced one against two, would you run or not?”

Qin Niu mocked the He Family patriarch.

“Gaaah! You actually dare to call me an idiot, I’m so angry!”

The He Family patriarch was so angry he stomped his feet, and his speed instantly surged.

People with such a hot temper are like a powder keg, set off by the slightest touch.

Of course, Qin Niu liked such enemies the most.

There was nothing else, these types of people were easier to kill.

“If you’re not an idiot, what are you? If you were a bit smarter, how could I have killed those three Sweaty Precious Horses?”

Qin Niu continued to taunt the enemy.

Truth be told, he preferred to deal with his enemies with less talk and more action.

Now, constantly using words to provoke the enemy was simply a necessity.

It was really because the enemy was too strong, and he was outnumbered, so he had to resort to cunning strategies.

“You’re courting death, you’re courting death!”

The He Family patriarch’s speed increased yet again.

He had been provoked, determined to slay Qin Niu quickly.

“Fool, I think you’re not only extremely stupid but also short, ugly, and old. I really don’t know how your mother gave birth to something like you.”

Qin Niu kept insulting the easily angered old man.

Living for over a hundred years with such a temper, and yet still being alive was nothing short of miraculous.

This time, the He Family patriarch didn’t speak; instead, his hair stood on end, his complexion shifted from bright red to dark red, turning slightly cyanotic and purplish.

Clenching his teeth, he pursued relentlessly.

And his footwork was pushed to the limit.

“Great Uncle, be careful of the youngster’s tricks,” called out the Innate Realm powerhouse in his fifties from behind.

This man actually had some wisdom.

At least he could see through some of Qin Niu’s schemes.

“Scram!”

The He Family ancestor was furious, seemingly driven mad by anger.

You’re asking him to stop the pursuit at this moment?

Is it even possible?

The Cultivator in his fifties from the Innate Realm received a scolding and dared not make another sound.

Bear as a grandson first, command as a forefather later.

Scolded by an elder, you truly just have to endure it.

As the chase ensued, the He Family ancestor gradually distanced himself from the two Innate Realm powerhouses of his clan.

The Cultivator in his sixties from the Innate Realm, who had been stung, didn’t take it seriously at first, but soon felt overwhelmed and quickly fished out a green porcelain bottle, swallowing two elixirs from it.

Because he had to combat the poison in his body, his speed inevitably slowed down a lot.

He fell behind to the very end.

As a result, the three Innate Realm powerhouses of the He Family ended up in a straight line. The strategy to encircle was self-defeating.

“Lazy Ox, prepare to lend a hand,”

Qin Niu had roughly figured out that the He Family ancestor was at the later stages of the Innate Realm, at most at the pinnacle of the Innate Realm.

It was not yet possible to judge his martial skills.

The loss of over twenty termites to three powerful enemies had caused Qin Niu considerable distress.

To test the enemy’s capability, he decided to use some bees as cannon fodder.

These Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees, which he could breed in a number of eighty or ninety a day, woudn’t be a significant loss if several dozen or even a hundred were to die.

Qin Niu escorted Wang Wanyan to the city this time, carrying nearly a thousand Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees with him, a force to be reckoned with.

However, their threat to cultivators of the Innate Realm was almost negligible.

Qin Niu knew their combat effectiveness was subpar, but the others didn’t!

The appearance of the Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees was quite impressive.

The He Family ancestor, unaware of their true depth and coupled with one of his clan’s experts already injured by a sting, was enough to put the three powerhouses of the He Family on edge, fearing shadows and rustling leaves.

“Go!”

Qin Niu released twelve Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees, which flew towards the pursuing He Family ancestor as soon as they emerged from the Hundred Treasures Insect Bag.

The Hundred Treasures Insect Bag was indeed a fine treasure.

A fine sword for a hero.

With this Hundred Treasures Insect Bag, Qin Niu truly had an additional edge.

When traveling, carrying a large number of insects was very convenient.

Previously, tens of thousands of Grade Two and Grade Three termites would have filled half a basket.

“Fool, today will be your end,”

No sooner had Qin Niu finished speaking than the twelve Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees reached the He Family ancestor.

Their flying ability was quite good.

The He Family ancestor, noticing the bees’ large wings, swift speed, and the green rings on their bodies making them appear formidable, and considering one of his clan’s experts had already been severely poisoned by a sting,

suddenly didn’t dare to take them lightly.

He hastily wielded his sword, slashing at the twelve swiftly approaching Green Ring Worker Bees.

With the sword unsheathed and fully energized by the He Family ancestor, a sword qi nearly two inches long appeared.

Qin Niu silently observed and felt secretly delighted.

This was definitely an ordinary sword, at most, forged from special material.

It seemed hopeful to kill the He Family ancestor.

So far, only Elder Jiu Yin’s sword had withstood the Ink Blade without being broken.

Other weapons faced with it were basically sliced as easily as cutting through metal and jade, instantly severed.

The He Family ancestor conjured a sword-flower as big as a basin, protecting himself all around.

As a result, nine of the twelve Green Ring Worker Bees were instantly sliced to shreds.

The remaining three, on Qin Niu’s command, promptly flew behind the He Family ancestor.

This also proved the He Family ancestor’s swordsmanship was average, not as strong as imagined.

“There’s a chance; the old guy’s end is in sight,”

Qin Niu watched coldly as the other two He Family powerhouses lagged behind, already considering the best place to make his move.

Given the current situation, he had only one opportunity to ambush.

And it would be very brief.

If he couldn’t kill the He Family ancestor in one strike, he would have to flee immediately; otherwise, he might find himself trapped in an assault by powerful enemies.

The shrubbery ahead looked like a good place to strike.
