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

Chapter 43: Chapter 38 Green Demon Bee t

Overall, Qin Niu was quite satisfied with the evolution of the entire ant colony.

In the future, he could get them more special foods to eat.

Such as bear blood, centipede bodies, and even scorpion and spider corpses, and so on.

He currently had a relatively clear strategy for cultivating the ant colony.

Trying to enhance the Ant Queen’s unique talents and Breeding Skills was core, then finding a way to make Fourth increasingly strong, and training Fourth as the commander of the ant colony.

The cultivation of the Soldier Ants also needed to keep up because they were the guards of the entire ant colony.

Only when the Soldier Ants became stronger could the security of the ant colony be worry-free.

After checking the properties of the ant colony and setting the tone for development, he simply found a spot to sit down under the camphor tree.

Then, he took out the Green Demon Bee Raising Sutra to read.

This termite nest gave him a very different feeling.

Because of the ants’ superb evolutionary abilities, after eating a meal of bear blood and two of bear meat, they directly evolved into Strong Termites.

After eating three centipede bodies, they evolved into Poisonous Ants.

Although it was only a weak toxin, it was enough to surprise Qin Niu enormously.

He believed that the most special existence in the entire ant colony was not the Ant Queen, but very likely Fourth.

Because the Worker Ants and Soldier Ants hatched later did not have a special existence like Fourth.

Their intelligence was clearly not as outstanding as Fourth’s, and there was not even a single collective of Soldier Ants and Worker Ants.

Furthermore, Fourth was not the only Worker Ant that ate the centipede bodies, other Worker Ants ate them too, but they did not evolve the ability to produce poison.

Another important point was that the Ant Queen’s ability to evolve into breeding Strong Ants and Poisonous Ants relied on the Worker Ants feeding her.

This required a food conversion process.

It felt very possible that Fourth had a special food conversion ability.

Of course, these were all speculations.

Whether it was really like this still required observation and study in the future.

Insect Masters naturally grow alongside the pets they cultivate.

Those who raise centipedes may have no idea how to cultivate termites and vice versa, Qin Niu was clueless about how to raise centipedes.

Each Insect Master has their own area of expertise.

Methods to extend the lifespans of different insects might also vary greatly.

As for the direction of cultivation, that is even more varied.

For example, the Seven-spot Ladybird of the Coleoptera might focus more on cultivating its feign death ability and carapace defense.

If it were a centipede, more emphasis would be placed on its venom ability.

In cultivating this termite colony, Qin Niu was currently feeling his way across the river by feeling the stones, and many areas required him to explore bit by bit, then accumulate experience.

Upon opening the Green Demon Bee Raising Sutra, one could see that the script was not written in ink, but with a yellowish-brown liquid.

Perhaps due to the passage of years, the script had become very faint.

Carvings in bamboo slips and ink-written illustrations could be preserved for a thousand years without loss of clarity.

But this Bee Raising Sutra left by the Green Demon had initial problems with the material used.

It felt like it should be made from the skin of a small animal like a hare.

Although the edges had been trimmed, the hide still seemed extremely rough.

One could understand the circumstances of the Green Demon at that time, burdened with deep-seated hatred, compelled to hide in the mountains and scrape by for survival. After slaughtering an entire village’s worth of people, he faced pursuit by the officials and had no chance to acquire anything of better quality.

In such a harsh environment, it was quite impressive that he was able to leave behind this scroll of the Green Demon Bee Raising Sutra.

-Kill, kill, kill!”

These were the three shocking, dark brown words on the first page. Although the handwriting was sloppy, the bone-deep hatred and the overwhelming killing intent emanating from the characters made one shudder.

From a young age, the Green Demon and his little sister were bullied by their aunt and uncle’s family, being extremely exploited and abused; one could only imagine how deep the hatred planted in his heart was.

“There is no justice in the human world, only strength is supreme.”

This is the second message left by Green Demon.

It is also a true portrayal of his life.

“The Green Demon Bees I bred are almost impossible for a second person to succeed, but some of the beekeeping experiences can be referenced…”

Upon seeing the third sentence, Qin Niu couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

The Supreme Sea is a big liar, no wonder this scroll of Green Demon beekeeping secrets was sold for only ten pieces of Silver Money.

You should know that Green Demon, relying solely on his own strength, directly challenged the local officials and even killed the Seven Stars Sect Leader.

Following his breeding method, raising a few Green Demon Bees could almost make one respected in the region.

Even though the Insect Control Technique is obscure, it could at least sell for several thousand, or even tens of thousands of Silver Money.

Qin Niu spent ten pieces of Silver Money on this scroll of the Insect Control Technique, and even if it were rubbish, he couldn’t possibly just throw it away.

Qin Niu could only suppress the anger and disappointment in his heart and continue reading.

“Ten dogs make one mastiff! The hunters in the village, in order to breed the best hunting dogs, wean them forcibly about ten days after birth and lock them up together. After starving them for three days, they pour animal blood on them to induce them to kill each other. In the end, only one survives, and the nine become the food of the survivor. The hunting dogs bred in this way are fierce and tenacious, fearless even when facing tigers or bears.”

Humans really are cruel.

To get a good hunting dog, they really go to great lengths.

“I used this method to breed Poisonous Ants, and after nearly seven years, I finally obtained a Poisonous Ant with extraordinary combat power. I paired it with a queen ant and after more than seven thousand failures, finally obtained a mutated Ant Queen.”

Although Green Demon did not write the specific breeding process, one can imagine the immense effort he put into breeding a powerful Poisonous Ant.

“Thereafter, with the help of that Ant Queen, I bred and developed multiple different capability bee swarms. Later, by a stroke of luck, I tamed a Green Python with a black crown, and with its assistance, it took thirteen years to finally breed the first generation of Green Demon Bees. These bees are as large as a pestle, with four steel wings and bodies as hard as refined iron, impervious to ordinary weapons. Those who are stung by it will necrotize into pus and blood within seven days, with no cure.”

“However, the heavens are unfair, the Falling Star Sect sent an Immortal Sect expert to slaughter me, as a mortal unable to match an immortal, knowing I must die, thus I leave this scroll of beekeeping secrets for someone fated. If heaven would grant me another fifty years, I would be able to breed the second and even the third generation of Green Demon Bees, bold enough to defy the immortals to their graves.”

Qin Niu could feel the helplessness of a mortal in face of the Immortal Sect from the words left by Green Demon.

The two sides are simply not on the same level.

The final boast is indeed very domineering.

Unfortunately, heaven envies talents, and did not grant him another fifty years of life; he was directly eradicated by the Immortal Sect of the Falling Star Sect.

Otherwise, it might have indeed been possible for one person to destroy the Falling Star Sect.

Qin Niu, just an ordinary villager from the countryside, had read a few books, but he knew nothing of the Seven-Star Sect or the Falling Star Sect.

He only vaguely knew that there were larger sects above the local government, which might be the Immortal Sects.

Or they might not be.

In this world, many ordinary people’s lifelong range of activity does not exceed ten kilometers. For example, for the people of Shuangfeng Village, having the chance to visit Black Tiger City would mean they have seen the world.

With inconvenient transportation and the poor peasantry being born to toil in the fields, without the opportunity for education, having enough food to survive is considered very good.

Thinking of going to the city every day? Firstly, the silver in one’s pocket cannot support this idea, and also, one wouldn’t dare to run around carelessly.

In these chaotic times, human life is as cheap as grass.

Qin Niu secretly lamented the loss, thinking how great it would have been if he could have obtained the first generation Green Demon Bee bred by Green Demon!

Even if he got only one, he could immediately increase his strength by a hundredfold, a thousandfold.

But since Green Demon Bees could even kill the Seven Stars Sect Leader, Qin Niu, even if he really encountered one, would not possibly be able to tame it. Escaping with his life would be considered fortunate.

He continued reading further, and thankfully, Green Demon did have some conscience, leaving behind a vast amount of beekeeping experience and insights. Many of the methods mentioned were eye-opening. He also mentioned the Bee Language.

Unlike the silent communication methods of ants and termites, bees rely on vibrating their wings to make sounds, using this to transmit signals.

Qin Niu currently had a mastery mainly in the Ant Language, but it was displayed as the Insect Language.

Now, having read Green Demon’s experiences communicating with various wild bees, he should be able to try learning the Bee Language.

He flipped through the pages one by one, carefully reading on—there wasn’t much, only five pages in total.

The true teaching comes in one sentence, the false teachings fill thousands of books.

Secret manuals are usually thin, with every word precious and meaningful.

“Eh, the fourth page of this Green Demon Beekeeping Secret seems a bit different!”

He made an unexpected discovery as he flipped through it..
