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

Chapter 364: Chapter 357: Without Ruthlessness, You Can’t Stand Firm_1

“Little demon spawn, your methods are indeed fierce, and your mind is meticulous,”

the old man’s voice changed slightly as he spoke.

Also, his hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.

It wasn’t clear whether it was because his injuries were too severe, his body had gone too long without replenishing nutrients, or he hadn’t had proper rest, causing some weakness. Or perhaps, it was the effects of the Soul-Eroding Poison starting to take hold after being bitten by Fourth.

Qin Niu remained still, quietly observing the changes.

This old man, not only was his cultivation terrifyingly strong, but he was also extremely cunning and shameless.

Without absolute certainty, Qin Niu would never rashly risk making a sneak attack.

The old man’s gaze searched all around, but still, he found nothing.

He was well aware that Qin Niu was hiding somewhere in this mountainous region. But where exactly, he was unable to ascertain.

As the sky gradually darkened, the old man’s physical condition seemed to be getting worse. He could not find Qin Niu and was extremely unwilling to give up.

After all, he had been tricked too miserably by the young man.

If he hadn’t used multiple life-saving methods, he would have even perished on that high peak.

Having lived for so many years, yet being toyed with by a youngster, was absolutely a humiliation for him.

“Think you can hide from this old man if you don’t come out?”

As the old man opened his mouth and spat out, a spider, black as ink, emerged from his mouth and landed on the ground.

Qin Niu had seen the method of raising insects inside the body with Elder Jiu Yin.

The insects kept inside one’s body are usually the most important pets.

That black spider didn’t look very big, being only the size of a fingernail. Its abdomen was a bit like the common garden spider, round and plump, which made its back look a bit hunched.

It had not two eyes, but six.

A faint black aura lingered around its body, expanding and contracting as if it was breathing, inhaling and exhaling.

Such a little spider, yet it gave Qin Niu an extreme sense of danger.

It was unclear what species it was.

But the feeling was its level must certainly not be low.

“Fourth, are you confident you can eliminate that spider?”

Qin Niu asked Fourth.

“I’ll control it with the Puppet Ants in secret, and just a few Green-Scaled Worker Ants will be able to finish it off,” Fourth said confidently.

“That’s a very good idea, make preparations. You must be careful to stay concealed, as long as you’re safe, even if we sacrifice many more Termite ants, we can quickly recreate another ant colony,” Qin Niu stressed.

Qin Niu’s Termite colony now had three most special ants.

The Ant Queen, the War Demon Ant, and the Gold Devouring Ant.

Apart from these three, all other Termites could be mass-produced.

If sacrificing a portion of Termites could take down the old man’s lifebound insect, it would definitely be worth it.

Once the black spider landed on the ground, it raised its front legs as though it was detecting a scent.

Qin Niu had the Elephantic Ant on him, naturally not worried about it detecting his scent.

After the black spider detected for a while, it seemed to find nothing significant.

It quickly moved to another area and continued its sensing.

It was just in time to meet its demise. The spider actually moved close to where a dozen or so Tiger-striped Soldier Ants were hiding.

The old man, meanwhile, stood there with his eyes closed, motionless, gripping his treasured sword tightly.

Just waiting for the black spider to find its prey, then he would immediately raise his sword and go on a killing spree.

“Fourth, do it!”

Qin Niu gave the combat order.

One by one, the Puppet Ants hidden in the shadows, along with Fourth, exerted their psychic control and firmly restrained the black spider in place.

“Hmm?”

The old man seemed to have a psychic connection with the black spider.

The moment the spider was controlled, he sensed it and immediately opened his eyes, looking in the direction of the spider.

Just then, seventeen or eighteen Tiger-striped Soldier Ants swiftly crawled out.

Without hesitation, they descended upon the black spider, tearing and biting.

They were like fierce dogs, exceptionally ferocious.

The black spider’s body was very special; when torn and bitten, it showed extreme toughness.

However, these Tiger-striped Soldier Ants, once they entered a ferocious state, had far greater attack power than usual. Moreover, they could secrete a special ant acid that could corrode even Silver Money and stone.

Despite the black spider being of a high rank, it could not escape being dismembered by them.

Some pulled at its legs, others bit into the spider’s abdomen, tearing away fiercely.

Qin Niu noticed that the torn-off spider legs could still move.

And there were signs they were trying to reattach themselves.

He had seen the creatures of Elder Jiu Yin. Those Taiyin Yaoyao, when cut into pieces, could automatically reassemble and heal quickly.

This black spider likely possessed a similar ability.

Under the circumstances, there was no time for Qin Niu to start a fire and trap the black spider in a metal can to burn it to death.

The best option was for the Termites to eat it.

Soldier Ants possessed powerful mandibles with an exceptional ability to tear and bite, but they could not eat on their own.

“Worker Ants, get to it.”

Qin Niu was very aware that the Termites had little time.

The old man would certainly rescue his creature the moment he reacted.

Worker Ants emerged from all around, quickly dragging the legs torn off by the Soldier Ants under leaves or into tree holes and other dark places to feast.

Given enough ants, they could bite an elephant to death.

Let alone a small black spider like this one.

In the blink of an eye, it was thoroughly devoured by the Termites.

“Damn it, how could this happen?”

The old man noticed that the black spider he had released was eaten clean by a swarm of Termites that emerged in just a few seconds.

Not even leaving a residue behind.

He couldn’t understand how these Termites could have such terrifying attack power.

“Die! Die, all of you!”

The old man swung his sword once more at the hiding places of the Termites.

Sword Qi swept across, and one after another, the trees fell at the sound.

Although practitioners in the Spirit Qi Realm didn’t have the ability to destroy heaven and earth, decimating a forest was a piece of cake.

Qin Niu sensed a number of Termites being slaughtered and couldn’t help feeling the pain.

These were the forces he had accumulated little by little.

“Ugh!”

The old man’s body suddenly trembled, the Sword Qi nearly vanished, and a flush appeared on his face; then, he opened his mouth and “wa” spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

His body swayed, nearly falling.

It goes without saying that this was because his life-bound creature was killed. As its master, he suffered collateral damage, which caused serious harm to his soul.

He was already severely injured, and now, it was like adding insult to injury.

Moreover, Fourth bit him, and the Soul Eroding Poison was known for its soul-devastating power.

It seemed like nothing at the time because his cultivation was strong, and he had a strong resistance. Now his body became even weaker, and his soul deeply wounded, causing the Soul Eroding Poison to erupt massively.

Its power was amplified more than tenfold in an instant.

Kick him while he’s down, seize his life.

Qin Niu might have been young, but he was absolutely ruthless. He wiped out hundreds of the He Family, regardless of age or gender, not sparing a single one.

If one’s heart wasn’t cold enough, that simply couldn’t be done.

In this world, only two types of people could afford to be kind. One was the weakest at the very bottom. They were already weak enough; a bit more kindness would just mean dying a few years earlier.

The other was the strongest at the very top.

They had become immortals, possessing terrifying strength, able to control their own destinies and those of others.

With a kind heart, it was more conducive for them to be in tune with the heavenly heart and to comprehend the great Dao of the world.

Qin Niu had lain in wait for a day and a night for this god-given opportunity.

Without any hesitation, he crawled out of his hiding spot, gripping the Ink Blade as he rushed towards the old man.

Whether he could succeed all depended on the power of this blade.
