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

Chapter 445: Chapter 437 Brotherhood’s United Defense_1

Unfortunately, those poison bees seemed bewitched, completely ignoring his commands and swarming towards the Green-Head Summoning Bee instead.

Qin Niu, upon witnessing this sight, felt a surge of secret delight, yet he was also deep in thought.

Like Elder Wu Shanle, he controlled ant swarms, bee swarms, and other insect pets by subduing the queen insect and utilizing the blood connection between the queen and its offspring for control.

In the art of Insect Control Technique, this indirect manipulation is known as secondary control.

Secondary control is quite common.

Its benefit is the conservation of a great deal of spirit space, allowing Insect Masters to tame more insect pets. Another point is that during combat against enemies, an Insect Master need only issue orders to the queen insect.

After receiving the commands, the queen or mother insect will then relay orders to its offspring.

The master can also issue direct combat orders to the offspring.

However, when the number of offspring is too large, this becomes unfeasible. Issuing orders often involves communication between the spirit and the offspring, consuming spiritual power.

A few or perhaps a few dozen could still be manageable.

But when the number of offspring reaches tens of thousands or even millions, it’s more than what an Insect Master can endure.

Even an Insect Master at the Spirit Qi Realm level couldn’t possess such immense spiritual power.

While secondary control has many advantages, it also leaves flaws for enemies to exploit. For example, presently, Qin Niu’s Green-Head Summoning Bee is using both summoning and enticing skills, instantly overpowering Elder Wu Shanle, the bee swarm’s master.

The bee swarm no longer obeys its master but responds to the signals sent out by the Green-Head Summoning Bee.

Imagine, if Qin Niu in the future were to battle a formidable enemy who possessed such ‘usurping’ techniques, couldn’t they reverse-control Qin Niu’s ant swarm and have it attack him instead?

After this war concludes, he must consult Chairman Li and Master He Shan in earnest.

At this moment, he cleverly broke through Elder Wu Shanle’s bee formation using the Green-Head Summoning Bee, and naturally, he would strike while the enemy was down.

“Wart Toad, attack!”

Qin Niu issued another command to the Red-eyed Golden Toad.

“Fourth, lead the ant swarm and try to attack the bee swarm again!”

No sooner had the order been given than Fourth sent back good news.

“Success, success!”

A poison bee flew in front of Qin Niu and then stopped.

Qin Niu flicked his finger towards it.

Pop.

The poison bee instantly turned into ash.

The strength of an Innate Realm expert was already terrifying. A simple flick of the finger possessed enough power to instantly shatter even a stone.

“It seems these poison bees are not as formidable as imagined! Their strength lies in forming the bee array.”

Qin Niu concluded.

The Red-eyed Golden Toad began to gorge itself, swallowing the poison bees like a mythical glutton.

Its long tongue was like a ghost, or a dark red flash of lightning, darting out and then rolling back with several poison bees, swallowing them down. Then, the tongue darted out again.

Qin Niu’s Termite Army, which had just suffered heavy casualties and had been firmly suppressed by the bee array, had long been simmering with pent-up fury.

Once the bee array broke, they immediately launched the most ferocious retaliation against the poison bee swarm.

Many poison bees fell to the ground after succumbing to mental attacks and were then torn apart and eaten by numerous Soldier Ants or Worker Ants.

Elder Wu Shanle watched his prized insect pets being slaughtered by Qin Niu, his heartache twisting his expression.

Desperate to recall the poison bees, he nearly shattered his whistle blowing it, all to no avail.

“I’m going all out against you!”

Seeing the increasing casualties among the poison bees, Elder Wu Shanle became desperate.

Without another word, he directly lunged at Qin Niu with his Spirit Qi Realm strength, wielding a staff whip as his weapon.

Whip-shaped weapons are quite common.

However, the staff whip is less common. It belongs to the category of unusual weapons, with a rod made of wood or iron at one end and a long whip at the other.

It’s rather similar to the whips children use to spin tops.

Only, this kind of whip is much longer.

Elder Wu Shanle himself was quite short, probably no more than one meter thirty at most. With his stature, wielding a long whip could easily result in self-injury.

“Protect Master Qin!”

Ye Ji and Iron Tiger were quite competent, having been powerless in the earlier insect battle, they immediately moved to shield Qin Niu as Wu Shanle made a beeline for him.

“Haha, Wu Shanle is getting desperate! Master Qin just focus on dealing with Wu Shanle’s poison bees, leave the man to us.”

The two Insect Masters sent by Chairman Li charged at Wu Shanle together.

These two Insect Masters’ cultivation seemed to be at the peak of the Innate Realm, yet they dared to challenge a Spirit Qi Realm expert. It was unclear where their confidence came from.

Qin Niu soon understood where the two brothers’ confidence lay.

As they shook hands and moved forward, their aura also surged dramatically. In no time, the brothers’ combined strength was no less than that of Elder Wu Shanle.

It is said that two hands can’t defend against four.

It had never occurred to me that two Innate Realm experts could join forces to become one, instantly reaching the power level of a Spirit Qi Realm expert.

“Have you mastered the Joint Wall Technique?”

Wu Shanle, watching the brothers elevate their cultivation to a level nearly equal to his own through this special method, instantly turned extremely pale.

Today really wasn’t his day.

What had originally been an advantageous situation had turned around so quickly. First, the bee formation was broken, the poison bees were being slaughtered by the young Insect Master named Qin Niu, and now he was being held at bay by two Innate Realm experts.

The disadvantages kept piling up.

Seeing the poison bees being slaughtered in droves, Wu Shanle grew anxious.

With a lash of his whip, the powerful shadows it cast burst through the air like thunder on a clear day. Yet the two brothers caught the strike, and he gained no advantage.

The three of them fought fiercely, with the whip and sword clashing.

The actual combat ability of an Insect Master’s true self was not as weak as I had imagined.

Qin Niu sped up the slaughter of the opposing poison bees from behind.

Soon, he had nearly wiped out the entire poison bee swarm. The Queen Bee was nowhere in sight, and given some time, Elder Wu Shanle might have been able to breed another swarm.

If that was the case, then why was he in such a hurry to fight desperately?

There was only one possibility, breeding these poison bees was not as easy as he had thought.

Qin Niu didn’t care about these details. After obliterating the entire poison bee swarm, he turned to look at the fierce battle between Wu Shanle and the two brothers that seemed to have no end in sight.

Although the brothers had used special means to stack their cultivation to reach the level of the Spirit Qi Realm, they surely had shortcomings compared to a true Spirit Qi Realm expert. The two were gradually falling into a disadvantageous position.

If they weren’t assisted promptly, defeat was only a matter of time.

By then, would Wu Shanle let Qin Niu off the hook?

After all, Qin Niu had annihilated his most important poison bee swarm.

“This is a good opportunity to test the combat strength of my Green Demon Bee!”

Qin Niu had no rules for dealing with enemies, always preferring to win by ganging up rather than fighting one-on-one. He would opt for a surprise attack rather than a fair and square face-off.

Taking advantage of the moment, he stealthily released the Green Demon Bee.

The Green Demon Bee darted out and transformed into a shadow, in a flash appearing next to Elder Wu Shanle.

The Extreme Flight Skill was even more superior to the Super Flight Skill.
