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

Chapter 185: Chapter 180: The Powerful Medical Ant_l

Translator 549690339 |

Qin Niu had cultivated the Medical Ant into a Grade Two Termite, but he never

had the chance to test its healing abilities.

Now was the perfect time to try.

Leading the ant colony back to the Ant Nest, Qin Niu summoned the Medical

Ant.

“They’re injured, can you heal them?”

Qin Niu asked the Medical Ant.

It crawled to the poisoned termites and examined their condition with its

antennae.

“This is a paralytic toxin, but it’s treatable!”

After speaking, it began to treat Fourth. It bit into Fourth’s neck, slowly

creating a wound.

Then it seemed to suck out the poison from Fourth’s body.

Its originally white mouthparts gradually turned black.

Fourth’s condition visibly improved at a noticeable pace.

Moments later, Fourth had completely recovered.

The mouthparts of the Medical Ant had turned completely black, shiny from the change.

“Are you alright?”

“I’m fine, I just need a little time.”

After speaking, it slightly raised its head and remained motionless.

Then, one could see its mouthparts gradually fading in color, from shiny black to dark gray, then to light gray, and finally becoming pure white.

The Medical Ant also soon returned to normal.

“Fantastic! I didn’t expect your abilities to be so powerful.”

Having witnessed the Medical Ant’s healing abilities, Qin Niu was very pleased.

The anxiety he had been holding onto was alleviated.

He was particularly worried about Fourth encountering an accident and was somewhat concerned about the Medical Ant running into trouble.

It seemed his worries were for naught; Fourth had fully recovered, and not only was the Medical Ant unharmed, it seemed to have grown a bit stronger.

“Have you become stronger?”

“Yes! The venom was of a higher quality, and after absorbing it, I transformed it into a special energy. If I accumulate enough of this energy, I should be able to evolve just like it.”

The Medical Ant had limited expressive ability.

By evolving just like it, it probably meant advancing to a Grade Three Termite.

“There is plenty of that venom, you’ll have more than enough.

Qin Niu had collected many Army Ant corpses.

Now that it was confirmed that the toxin on the Army Ant corpses could not fatally harm the termites, Qin Niu immediately assembled a Termite Engineer Squad and took them to the recent battlefield to collect the carcasses.

Many Army Ant bodies were scattered on the ground; he didn’t have the time to pick them up one by one.

These were all Grade Three insect carcasses; feeding them to the termites should be an excellent nutritional supplement.

Once he collected all the Army Ant corpses and returned to the Ant Nest, the Medical Ant was still inside, treating the poisoned termites.

“These Army Ants have actually evolved toxins in their bodies; that’s really quite formidable.”

Qin Niu thought to himself.

He summoned the Medical Ant, “Can you check if this Army Ant corpse is poisonous? Is it lethal?”

The Medical Ant circled the Army Ant carcass twice, constantly scouting with

its antennae.

“The toxins on the body aren’t produced by it but are instead smeared on.

After checking, the Medical Ant provided Qin Niu with extremely important information.

“This toxin is not lethal. It will make those poisoned stiff and slow m their movements.”

It wasn’t a toxin produced by the Army Ants themselves, but one that had been deliberately applied?

The first thing that came to his mind was the method of applying poison to hidden weapons and arrowheads.

This method could ensure that, besides being injured, the person hit by the arrow would also be poisoned.

It’s often used on the battlefield.

Many of the generals who liked to charge into battle had died from poisoned arrows.

These Army Ants had been dropped here by Old Master Huang using the Corpse Bees. Meaning, Old Master Huang’s intention was to use them as cannon

fodder.

Deliberately smearing toxins on them so that Qin Niu’s insects would get poisoned during the skirmish.

Although he didn’t understand why the Army Ants themselves were unaffected.

But Old Master Huang’s move was indeed insidious.

If it weren’t for Qin Niu’s termites possessing long-range attack capabilities, they probably would’ve been completely paralyzed by now. Then, they could only become food for the army ants.

The tricks of an old hand are too frightening.

Underhanded tactics, ruthless moves, strange tricks, endless and unpredictable, making them impossible to guard against.

With such a formidable opponent alive another day, it keeps one in a constant state of trepidation.

Qin Niu’s determination to get rid of Old Master Huang strengthened even further.

Now that the three bee generals had fallen into his hands, it was basically the same as clutching at Old Master Huang’s weak spot.

Just a squeeze, and there’s no fear that Old Master Huang wouldn’t come over to court death.

“To be able to easily sacrifice over four thousand Grade Three army ants means that Old Master Huang most likely has a large number of even more formidable creatures at his disposal. A head-on clash would definitely not be in his favor. We must find a way to lure the man into the banyan tree’s maze. With the help of the banyan tree, we can eliminate this powerful enemy.”

Qin Niu silently calculated in his mind.

It’s unlikely that Old Master Huang would send more creatures over tonight.

Qin Niu placed the three bee generals together.

Each was kept in a separate jar.

Their size was considerable, and each insect jar could only accommodate one.

He sat cross-legged on the big tree where he often took shelter.

Having captured the opponent’s three bee generals, there’s no guarantee than an enraged Old Master Huang wouldn’t make some rash decisions.

He would definitely have to lie low in the shadows.

For the next few days, he planned to patiently wait for the fish to take the bait.

It was just a matter of when.

The night wind was gusty, while he cultivated on his own.

When dawn was about to break, it was also when people felt the most tired. At that time, most would linger, not wanting to leave the warmth of their beds.

Qin Niu heard a familiar buzzing sound in his ears.

Only Old Master Huang’s corpse bees could make a noise similar to a bomber.

“They’re coming!”

Qin Niu tensed up immediately, observing the nearby movements closely.

Fourth stayed obediently on his shoulder, not moving an inch.

The Termite Army wasn’t at his side.

After last night’s battle, some termites were injured, and he had the Termite Army return to the Ant Nest to rest.

A corpse bee circled overhead, then swooped directly down.

“Fourth, can you control it?”

“I’m afraid not, we would need the power of the ant swarm to control it.’

After all, Fourth was only a Grade Three termite.

Although it was a scarce War Demon Ant, asking it to control a corpse bee that was one grade higher was a bit unrealistic.

“Let’s see what it does first.”

Qin Niu communicated directly with the Ant Queen.

“Ant Queen, have the Termite Army come over immediately. I will have Fourth release a signal.”

He hadn’t expected Old Master Huang to be so anxious to strike back so quickly after a very short time.

This also indirectly showed how important those three bee generals were to Old Master Huang.

“Received.”

The Ant Queen was now a Grade Four termite, immensely powerful. As they weren’t far apart, Qin Niu could easily communicate with her. After all, he had a direct soul connection with the Ant Queen.

If the Ant Queen were to die, his soul would also suffer damage.

“Fourth, send out a signal, call the ant army over. Prepare to settle the matter once and for all today and wipe out this troublesome Old Master Huang.”

Qin Niu issued the order, while his mind strategized ways to eliminate the enemy.

The corpse bee circled a few times before flying straight away.

The real adversary would probably arrive very soon.
