If it landed on an enemy’s head, the chances of being discovered were almost negligible.

Qin Niu finished feeding the Green Silk Worm and then took out a Green Demon Bee to check on it.

It had completely devoured the Corpse Bee’s egg and its body had clearly developed a lot.

These past few days, the Worker Bees must have taken good care of it.

It was uncertain how long it would take to transform into an adult.

The Green Demon Bee’s original form should be that of a wasp.

A wasp’s growth is divided into four stages, egg, larva, pupa, and adult.

It was currently in the larval stage and was growing rapidly by the day.

Once it pupates, it will be close to becoming an adult.

Qin Niu’s own Cultivation Technique was not suited for combat, and during his growth, he would inevitably encounter various strong enemies and dangers. This was something every cultivator would experience.

Having a few powerful insects and pets to help him fend off enemies was an ideal defensive strategy.

The Green Demon Bee was so legendary, its combat abilities were bound to be exceptional.

Qin Niu had high hopes for it.

This time, using a Secret Technique, he allowed it to devour a Corpse Bee’s egg. If their abilities could complement each other, that would be perfect.

“Take good care of it and strive for it to pupate soon.”

Qin Niu specifically arranged for a few War Bees to feed the Green Demon Bee larvae to ensure it would pupate as soon as possible.

At the same time, the War Bees feeding it would also benefit.

Because the fresh blood they consumed was from cultivators in the Spirit Qi Realm, and that was something valuable.

After cultivating the Green Demon Bee, Qin Niu, concerned about the Ant Queen in the mountains, hurried to check on the Ant Queen without delay.

As soon as he arrived, he noticed a significant restlessness within the ant colony.

His heart leapt with quiet joy; without any surprises, the Ant Queen had finally made another breakthrough and evolution after eating the bodies of nine Taiyin Yaoyaos and a large number of Grade Four and Five insect corpses.

“Master, are you alright? Yesterday, I sensed danger befalling you.”

The Ant Queen was the first to send him a greeting.

Qin Niu returned Fourth to the Ant Nest, and the restless ant colony immediately became calm.

Fourth was the ruler of the ant colony.

He could be called an uncrowned king.

Normally, each termite colony has one Ant Queen and one King Ant; they are spouses.

Moreover, from the Ant Queen’s nuptial flight, once it chooses a male ant, the couple will find a hidden location to build a nest and then seal up the nest to breed children without shame or irritation.

The King Ant’s position is not for life.

That’s because the life span of a King Ant is not as long as that of an Ant Queen.

Termites can hardly be called model spouses, as they have a very cruel elimination mechanism.

Once the King Ant’s mating ability weakens, it is easily eliminated.

The Worker Ants will no longer feed it, letting it starve to death.

Not just the King Ant, even if an Ant Queen’s breeding ability weakens, it can also be eliminated by the colony.

When exterminators dig into termite nests built underground, they often find the shriveled corpses of Ant Queens that have starved to death.

In their mad rush to breed children, they let their bodies become increasingly fatter.

Especially their abdomens, swelling roundly to the point where even crawling becomes extremely difficult.

They can only lie still in the Ant Queen’s chamber within the nest, laying eggs every second that counts.

The termite colony Qin Niu raised had evolved far beyond any ordinary termite.

The Ant Queen had evolved into a special termite, and Fourth had evolved into a War Demon Ant, both extremely scarce species in this world.

“I’m alright now. Have you advanced in rank?”

Qin Niu shared a slight spiritual bond with the Ant Queen.

Yesterday, when faced with an encirclement by many powerful members of the He Family, facing a life-and-death test, even the Ant Queen sensed it.

But none of the other pets sensed it.

Including the War Bee Queen Bee and the Diamond Ink Turtle—they didn’t sense their master was in danger.

This precisely demonstrated the Ant Queen’s unique perceptual abilities.

He distinctly remembered the first time he was trapped inside the Ancient Banyan Tree’s maze; Qin Niu had contacted the Ant Queen by relying on a weak call of his spiritual soul. It was the Ant Queen who recklessly led the ant colony to save their master.

Eventually, the Ant Queen rescued Qin Niu.

Having had these special experiences, Qin Niu’s affection for the Ant Queen and Fourth was profound.

“Yes, I have advanced.”

The Ant Queen’s voice carried a trace of weakness but mostly excitement.

Looking at the situation, it seemed it had just completed its advancement.

“You sensed I was in danger, so you clenched your teeth and forced yourself to advance?”

Qin Niu asked teasingly.

“I guess so! I was planning to accumulate some more special energy to be more confident in advancing to the next level.”

Whether it’s insect pets or humans, when breaking through to a new realm, it’s best to push through in one go. If the advancement fails, the difficulty of breaking through to the new realm the next time will increase.

If an insect fails to advance three times, that insect is basically done for.

In the future, unless it can come across some special opportunity, it would be very difficult to advance again for the rest of its life.

This is much the same for human cultivators.

Everyone is very cautious when breaking through to a new realm, making all the necessary preparations.

When reaching the later stages of the Innate Realm and aiming to advance to the Spirit Qi Realm, if circumstances permit, some would even choose to go into a cultivation retreat.

Fang Lian’s father was probably in a cultivation retreat trying to break through to the Spirit Qi Realm.

He left the family affairs for his son to handle.

Qin Niu knew that the Ant Queen had just finished advancing and its body was in a somewhat unstable state.

It was akin to a period of weakness.

So he did not bother it further.

“You’ve just finished advancing, so you can stop laying eggs for these few days until your body stabilizes, then resume breeding the young ants.”

Currently, with over twenty thousand termites, nearly thirty thousand in total, there were barely enough to get by.

There was no need to rush the Ant Queen.

If it were pushed to lay eggs hastily and its body encountered problems or even a collapse in its new level, then the loss would outweigh the gain.

He checked the attributes of the Ant Queen.

Female Four-Winged Yin Ant (Ant Queen)

Level: Grade Six Isoptera Insect, Upgrade Experience 1000000/10000000

Lifespan: 31,000 years

Energy: 1090007

Skills: Reproduction Grade Three 524/1000 (lays 1000 eggs per day), Feign Death Grade One 2/10, Flight Grade One 0/10, Escape Grade One 0/10, Advanced Self-Healing Grade One 0/10, Ant Formation Grade One 0/10 (can instruct worker ants and soldier ants to form formations, significantly enhancing the combat and defense capabilities of the ant colony).

Talents: Higher Intelligence, offspring with great strength attribute (10%), offspring with extreme toxin attribute (30%), offspring with Demon Ant attribute (0.4%), offspring with Gold Devouring Ant attribute (0.004%), offspring with Healing Ant attribute (0.2%), offspring with Zombie Ant attribute (2%), offspring with Advanced Self-Healing attribute (5%). Looking at the Ant Queen’s attribute changes, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Qin Niu’s mouth.

The Ant Queen had never let him down.

After eating nine Taiyin Yaoyao, the Ant Queen’s self-healing ability had advanced from basic to advanced.

On average, out of every hundred offspring it produced, five would inherit this special ability.

How strong was Advanced Self-Healing?

Qin Niu didn’t know.

He only knew that once the Zombie Ants advanced to Grade Four Iron Stiff Ants, their ability to self-heal was only at an intermediate level.

Even basic self-healing was very powerful.

Wounds could heal by themselves.

With advanced self-healing, even regrowing lost limbs was possible.

He could test this thoroughly on the battlefield when the time came.

As the Ant Queen advanced to Grade Six this time, her lifespan did not increase.

However, the newly acquired Ant Formation skill was exceptionally powerful—it allowed the command of ant formations for battle, whose significance was no less than that of the Advanced Self-Healing skill.

What’s more, the Ant Queen’s intelligence reached higher intelligence.

This meant that its intellect was now no different from that of humans.

The benefits were just as immense.

It could not only allocate each ant species more scientifically and rationally during reproduction, but it could also provide Qin Niu remote support when necessary.

If the Ant Nest was in danger, it could respond better.

Furthermore, now that the Ant Queen had advanced to Grade Six, the offspring it produced should be able to reach Grade Three, or even Grade Four.

After Qin Niu’s cultivation, a batch of Grade Four and Grade Five termites could appear.

This was a substantial increase in overall combat power.

The combat abilities of a Grade Two termite and a Grade Four termite were not even comparable.

Fortunately, the Ant Queen’s diet was varied; it could eat anything.

If it ate only meat and needed to lay a thousand eggs per day, it’s feared that every living creature in this mountain region would be eaten up by the termites.

Feeding on grass and trees removed this concern.

Because vegetation has a strong growth capability, and the Ant Queen had great wisdom, knowing to conserve resources for continuous use.

It would make reasonable use of every bit of food.

Therefore, even if its reproductive capability went up another notch, reaching ten thousand eggs per day, it wouldn’t deplete the whole mountain. As long as it showed restraint and didn’t focus on eating one tree, they would be unlikely to gnaw a tree to death.

Moreover, a large tree could feed the entire ant colony for a month or two.

The mountain is vast, with countless grasses and trees; when one area is consumed, another grows back.

Also, the worker termites, after Qin Niu’s cultivation, gained the ability to heal wounds on trees. After feeding, they could help the trees recover quickly.
