After reviewing the ant colony’s attributes, Qin Niu’s heart was filled with endless surprise.
Staying at home to avoid the rain for six days, the termite colony’s evolution brought him one surprise after another.
The first surprise, the Ant Queen’s breeding skill finally evolved to the second phase, now able to produce 100 eggs per day.
It was ten times more than before.
He no longer had to worry about not having enough common Worker Ants and Soldier Ants for experiments.
The second surprise, the common Soldier Ants that drank the Thousand Eyes Tree Blood evolved into Ghost Soldier Ants, and they can actually emit attacks similar to a Mental Attack.
This ability is simply explosively awesome.
They can drive enemies mad or make them lose the ability to move without needing physical contact.
Like the Puppet Worker Ant, they both possess remote attack capabilities.
They are like the termite colony’s primary magic force.
The third surprise, the powerful Soldier Ants that drank the Banyan Tree Blood evolved into Grade Two Tiger-striped Ironclad Ants, which now have the ability to pierce armor. It can be understood that centipedes and various other hard-shelled coleoptera insects are like having no effective armor protection against it.
This was simply unimaginable.
One bite to crack open the shell of a hard-shelled insect, and that insect would likely collapse on the spot.
How would they even fight against that?
In addition, its defense power has significantly increased, having a primary carapace not present in other termites.
Furthermore, when it enters a berserk state, its attack power increases tenfold.
Ordinary Grade Two Tiger-striped Soldier Ants can only increase by fivefold.
No wonder they all obediently follow behind the Grade Two Tiger-striped Ironclad Ant.
The animal world is about the survival of the fittest, with strength respected above all.
The fourth surprise, the ant colony hatched its first Poison Soldier Ant.
The Ant Queen being able to produce offspring with strong and slight poison attributes was something Qin Niu had long anticipated.
Now that the first Poison Soldier Ant had successfully hatched, it indicated there would continuously be an endless stream of Strong Termites and Poison Termites in the future.
Qin Niu realized that the ant colony was finally on the right track and would rapidly grow like a snowball.
“Master!”
Fourth crawled to the front, waving its two antennae, looking up at Qin Niu.
“What is it?”
Qin Niu asked.
“I want to be strong too! Just like them.”
Originally, Fourth was the strongest being in the ant colony; although innately lacking, it always acted as the main commander of the ant colony.
Now, it found that the other members of the ant colony had become so powerful one by one. It must have felt a great deal of pressure when it commanded them.
A commander’s strength being less than its soldiers’, the other termites, though still obedient to Fourth’s commands now, will certainly respect it less over time.
The social structure of an ant colony differs from that of humans; it’s more akin to a company.
Even the Ant Queen could be ousted by them if her reproductive abilities couldn’t keep up with the colony’s growth needs.
Extremely cruel.
“But becoming stronger is very dangerous, and it could lead to death.”
If Qin Niu were to lose Fourth, he would no longer be able to freely enter and exit the area beneath the Ancient Banyan Tree.
The Banyan Tree Blood, the twentyfold training speed beneath the Banyan Tree—they were high-level training resources he couldn’t refuse.
Now, while still weak, discovering such a treasure was of immense help to him.
The entire ant colony was able to evolve so quickly largely due to the Banyan Tree Blood.
Treasured Sword was able to cultivate Blade Qi so quickly for the same reason it relied on the Banyan Tree Blood.
Soon, he even planned to use the Banyan Tree Blood to cultivate bees.
Therefore, losing Fourth was not an option.
“I’m afraid of death, but I desire even more to become strong,”
“Please help me, master!”
Fourth requested firmly.
Qin Niu remained silent; facing Fourth, he could not be as heartless as he was toward ordinary termites.
Because Fourth and the Ant Queen had saved his life.
His affection for this inferior Worker Ant was very deep.
“Alright! But not now, 1 will first collect Banyan Tree Blood today, and help you to enhance your strength tonight,”
Qin Niu agreed to its request.
He didn’t plan to train during the day.
Instead, he would collect Banyan Tree Blood with all his might, so that even if Fourth unfortunately died, he would not be without blood to use.
Holding out for a while, perhaps he might come up with other methods.
However, he felt it would be difficult for the entire ant colony to breed another termite as special as Fourth again.
It had inherited the Ant Queen’s wisdom and possessed some special abilities of its own.
When he took Fourth under the Ancient Banyan Tree to collect the Banyan Tree Blood, it went without saying.
When passing by the hive, he checked the attributes of the Queen Bee.
It had actually laid 61 eggs.
He thought it could only lay one egg per day, but that had been a big mistake.
At that time, she had just started laying eggs, and it was still morning.
She had just laid one egg.
As a result, Qin Niu mistakenly believed she could only lay one egg per day.
Her normal daily laying capacity should be 10 eggs.
However, the egg-laying ability of the Queen Bee was far from comparable to that of termites.
In terms of the ability to burst forth soldiers, termites could kill almost any animal in seconds. Their highest record was nearly 50,000 eggs laid in a single day.
It was unimaginable.
This was far more terrifying than a breeding machine.
Qin Niu spent a whole day collecting five large jars of Banyan Tree Blood.
Considering that he might not be able to enter the area in the future.
He felt quite reluctant to leave.
After coming out, he returned to the Ant Nest with the Ant Queen and Fourth.
“Master, I want to become stronger!”
Fourth made its request once more.
“Alright, I’ll give you a hand. But whether you can withstand it or not is entirely up to you,”
According to Qin Niu’s principles of conduct, he wouldn’t have agreed to it normally.
Because its current value for use was too great.
Whether for the entire ant colony or for Qin Niu himself, Fourth was indispensable.
If it exploded and died after drinking the Banyan Tree Blood, the consequences would be severe.
This loss was one that Qin Niu currently found difficult to bear.
But faced with its request, Qin Niu couldn’t refuse. Because it was not just a termite, it was also his life-saver.
Moreover, if it succeeded, not only would its lifespan significantly increase, but its future help to Qin Niu would be even greater.
In the end, he decided to let it take the risk..
