Female Four-Winged Yin Ant (Ant Queen)

Grade: Grade Four equal-wing order insect, upgrade experience 10000/100000

Lifespan: Thirty thousand years

Energy: 71009

Skills: Breeding third tier 100/1000 (lays 1000 eggs per day), Feigned Death first tier 2/10, Flight first tier 0/10, Escape first tier 0/10

Talents: Medium Intelligence +++, Produce strong offspring (10%), Produce slightly poisonous offspring (20%), Produce Demon Ant offspring (0.1%), Produce Gold Devouring Ant offspring (0.001%).

Too powerful.

Having seen the Ant Queen’s attributes, Qin Niu was so shocked he was at a loss for words.

After its metamorphosis, it became so powerful it was almost ludicrous.

Its lifespan increased from 4.6 years to thirty thousand years.

This was truly inconceivable.

Qin Niu had thought, if its lifespan could increase by thirty years, it would already be heaven-sent.

Now he understood, the bolder the people, the greater the yield of the land.

Based on experience, the evolution of this Ant Queen was definitely extraordinary.

He had never heard of any insect that could gain so much lifespan upon evolving to Grade Four.

Thirty thousand years… that could last an eternity.

Its Breeding Skill had been upgraded to the third tier, reaching that level was something he had anticipated.

Finally, it could lay a thousand eggs per day.

Insatiable after gaining much.

He already started looking forward to the Ant Queen’s Breeding Skill reaching the ability to lay ten thousand eggs per day.

By then, just by relying on this termite colony, he could command respect on his own turf, and even become one of the notable entities in the world.

Now, the strong Worker Ants and Poisonous Ants were not worth much.

Because the probability of producing them had significantly increased.

Had he known that the Queen’s promotion would greatly enhance these two talents, he should have found a way to feed the Ant Queen more of other high-grade food.

It had gained two new talents, one was to produce Demon Ant offspring, although the chance was very low at 0.1%, it was still quite remarkable.

The other was to produce Gold Devouring Ant offspring, the probability of which was infuriatingly low.

At a 0.001% chance, that’s one in a hundred thousand.

Based on experience, the rarer and more precious the species, the lower the probability of producing them.

Now, it could almost certainly be concluded that Fourth was a Demon Ant.

But he couldn’t be sure yet, because it would only be known after the Ant Queen produced a second Demon Ant.

As for the Gold Devouring Ant, Qin Niu had never even heard of it, let alone seen one.

The chance of producing a Gold Devouring Ant was so low, it felt like it must be incredibly powerful.

“You, come here!”

Qin Niu picked out a Grade Two Lightning Worker Ant from the crowd.

“Eat the corpse of this Corpse Bee!”

When he took out the corpse of the Corpse Bee, he was nearly knocked out by the stench.

This thing must have been very powerful, and it could also see in the dark, but the stench was unbearable.

Those who like raising insects really do have exceptional endurance.

The Lightning Worker Ant immediately began to gnaw on the Corpse Bee that emitted the smell of decaying flesh. It was visibly difficult for the ant to make progress, as the Corpse Bee’s shell was very hard.

This was due to it possessing the special ability of an ultra-strong bite.

Otherwise, it would not have been able to breach the Corpse Bee’s defenses.

After it ate a bit, Qin Niu carefully observed the Lightning Worker Ant’s reaction.

There were no adverse reactions.

He decided to observe it again tomorrow.

If there were no problems, he would let Fourth eat the corpse of the Corpse Bee tomorrow to feed the Ant Queen.

Another two days went by.

The Ant Queen started laying eggs like a super egg-laying machine, producing eggs continuously day and night.

One thousand eggs per day.

The entire colony’s Worker Ants also became busier than before. They needed to find more food to feed the larvae, the Ant Queen, and the entire Ant Nest.

The Lightning Worker Ant that had eaten the Corpse Bee’s carcass did not show any obvious abnormalities.

Qin Niu was reassured this time.

“Fourth, eat this Corpse Bee and then feed the Ant Queen,” Qin Niu instructed.

“Received.”

Fourth unconditionally obeyed Qin Niu’s orders.

Their bond was also quite special. Within the entire ant colony, only it and the Ant Queen were closest to Qin Niu. As for other termites, it was impossible for Qin Niu to put in too much effort, let alone emotional attachment.

Their relationship was that of a master and servant.

Qin Niu cultivated them to grow stronger, and they followed orders, doing whatever he commanded.

The Corpse Bee’ s body was massive; there was no way to drag it directly into the Ant Nest.

Fourth proceeded to dismember it on the spot.

The clicking and chomping sounds of breaking into the Corpse Bee’s body resonated as Fourth, with its armor-piercing capabilities, handled the carcass much more efficiently than a Grade Two Lightning Worker Ant could.

After all, the two were not of the same rank.

After more than an hour, Fourth had completely dismembered the Corpse Bee’s body and transported it into the depths of the Ant Nest.

Qin Niu went to check on the other imprisoned Corpse Bee to see if it had laid eggs.

It was still lying motionless.

The usual preparation period for a common Queen Bee to lay eggs was around seven days, but this Grade Four Corpse Bee was taking significantly longer than expected.

It had been completely abstaining from food and drink for days.

Worried that it might starve to death, Qin Niu had even cut up some Boar King meat and thrown it in.

But it hadn’t touched it at all, and the Boar King meat had gone bad.

As the sun set in the west and the sky gradually darkened, Qin Niu prepared to return home as usual.

He had already moved the entire bee colony back to his residence.

Since Old Master Huang had not shown up, Qin Niu had no choice but to take certain measures to strengthen his vigilance.

Just then, he heard a buzzing sound above his head.

It was very loud.

Based on his experience, he immediately determined that this was not a sound that a normal hornet could make.

Looking up at the sky, he saw three small black dots.

“They’ve finally come!” he exclaimed, his spirits lifting. Having waited for so many days with no sign of Old Master Huang, he had been feeling uneasy.

Now that Old Master Huang had sent Corpse Bees again, he felt a sense of relief.

His fear was not the enemy’s absence, but their appearance, which meant he would have a way to deal with them.

The three Corpse Bees were very cautious, circling over the tree where their companion was imprisoned but refusing to land.

They had definitely smelled the pheromones released by their kin.

He wasn’t surprised at all that they had precisely located the imprisoned Corpse Bee; anything less would be an underestimation of a Grade Four insect.

Qin Niu had struggled thus far, only having his first Grade Four Ant Queen a couple of days ago.

“Kids, get to work. There are three big catches this time. Bring them all down for me,” he ordered.

This time, Qin Niu was not considering taking any prisoners.

These Corpse Bees had been tamed by Old Master Huang, and their sole purpose if spared would be to lay eggs and hatch male bees for breeding.

Having one alive was enough.

Otherwise, even if they were confined in a bronze canister, they would continue to release pheromones, acting just like a locator device installed by Old Master Huang.

Eliminating them was the most straightforward course of action.

It would also add three more ‘high-level foods’ for the Ant Queen.

Their refusal to land didn’t bother Qin Niu in the slightest.

Over two thousand Grade Two or higher termites, along with their master, quietly waited below.

If they had to wait another twenty days or so, it would become truly terrifying.

Qin Niu could increase his ant forces by around a thousand each day, easily breaking the ten-thousand mark for his main army.

He even stood a chance to ‘hit the jackpot,’ producing Demon Ants or Gold Devouring Ants.

Little did Old Master Huang know, he was fostering a tiger that would cause him trouble. The longer the delay, the more advantageous it was for Qin Niu.
