Chapter 135: 130: Two New Types of Troops Added_i
Hearing Qin Niu call her Wan Yan,
Ms. Wang’s eyebrows soared with joy.
“My dad wouldn’t say a word right now! Till next time!” Realizing she might have spoken out of turn, she quickly clamped her mouth shut.
Wang Furen previously refused to marry his daughter to Qin Niu.
Now, hearing the deeper meaning in Wang Wanyan’s words, he seemed to be willing to marry her to Qin Niu.
He could not wait for them to become closer.
Watching Wang Wanyan leave with Mother Wu, a sweet smile bloomed on Qin
Niu’s face.
Getting closer to Ms. Wang made him very happy.
At that moment, he overheard Wang Wanyan talking to Mother Wu.
“She is not our Wang Family’s ‘second wife.’ In the future, don’t speak nonsense outside, got it!”
Such is the upbringing of a rich family’s daughter! In front of outsiders, even when annoyed, one does not discuss family matters.
The saying goes, “Family shame should not be spread abroad.”
Some gossipy women, when slighted, go around seeking sympathy and comfort from others. Little do they know that doing so is actually very foolish.
That maid of Wang Furen’s indeed had no official status and was not entitled to be called ‘second wife.1
At a minimum, she had to be married into Wang Furen’s house with the status of a concubine before she could be given the title of ‘second wife’ or ‘second mistress.’
But seeing Wang Wanyan’s attitude towards that woman, she definitely would
not agree.
Wang Furen also did not want a chaotic household, let alone worry about his properties being usurped by a ‘second mistress’ after his death.
That maid would probably have to continue being a nameless and status-less
bed companion for Wang Furen.
That said, as long as Wang Furen lived, and as long as the maid remained favored, her actual position in the household was surely far above that of a mere maid.
After sending off Wang Wanyan, Qin Niu quickly set out with his basket as well.
The locusts in his own fields needed to be cleared daily.
Fortunately, with the termites numerous and powerful, their master Qin Niu didn’t need to worry much.
But even though his sorghum was being cleared of locusts daily, many leaves
were still left with numerous scars.
His sorghum was considered fortunate.
Some others’ had been gnawed down to only a few stems.
Arriving at the ant nest in the mountains, he saw the special termites he had cultured a few days ago had all completed their evolution.
Only that breeder ant’s evolution was excruciatingly slow and still ongoing.
The sturdy worker ant and the poisonous soldier ant evolved without saying into Grade Two Green Scale Giant Worker Ant and Grade Two Dark Poison Ant respectively.
The evolution of the two poison worker ants was something he was looking forward to.
Grade Two Lightning Poison Bomb Worker Ants, 2 in number, with a lifespan of 13 years. Special abilities include (Swift, Super Strong Bite, Acid spewed by them helps heal plant wounds, poison bomb attack, and can shoot poison from their tail spines at enemies within half a meter, carrying corrosive and neurotoxic properties.)
These creatures were essentially a combination of worker ants and poisonous ants.
However, he had not expected their special abilities to evolve to include a shooting capability.
It was like condensing the poison into a bullet and shooting it at high speed, striking the enemies like a projectile.
This is a mode of attack similar to that of cobras and frogs.
Sometimes, a cobra will shoot poison at an enemy’s eyes from a meter away.
This was a truly terrifying ability.
With its potent venom, just a touch to a human’s eye could blind them
instantly.
Moreover, the venom could seep into the bloodstream, then cause full-body poisoning.
As for frogs, needless to say, when encountering an enemy, they would suddenly aim their buttocks at the enemy and spray out urine with a certain toxicity while leaping forward, attacking the enemy.
Qin Niu was certain that if he fed the Grade Two Lightning Poison Bomb Worker Ants with the blood of the Thousand Eyes Tree, they could quickly evolve into Grade Three Termites.
His gaze turned to another new ant species.
The Elephant Trunk Soldier Ant.
Termites have always had two types of soldier ants.
One type is the soldier ants with huge mandibles that viciously bite the enemy to protect the nest.
The other type is the Elephant Trunk Soldier Ant, which are much rarer in number.
Their mandibles have evolved into a long fork, somewhat resembling a long elephant trunk.
Their method of attack is to release chemical substances from the fork.
Take the dragon louse, for example, it can secrete ketone substances, which even the seemingly invulnerable Wart Toad-that claims nothing is poisonous to it—dares not to eat.
Wart Toads that don’t believe it and try to catch dragon lice with their tongues soon become poisoned, causing their tongues to swell and hurt. If they still don’t believe and swallow the dragon lice, the result is a life worse than death, and they hastily exert all their strength to vomit it out.
The dragon lice, with their hard shells, remain unscathed.
Leaving the Wart Toad there to doubt life itself, writhing in pain.
The evolved Elephant Trunk Soldier Ants became much larger, quite like the kings within the ant colony.
Even comparable in size to Fourth.
They have a long fork, strong and powerful.
At their tips were inconspicuous gland pores, from where the chemical substances were presumably released.
Qin Niu checked its attributes.
One Grade Two Poison Pincer Soldier Ant, lifespan 10.5 years, special abilities (releasing strong odoriferous substances, causing dizziness in the majority of insects. Mimicking the scent of creatures like centipedes and frogs, continuously releasing it to scare off enemies.)
Why does its special ability feel somewhat like the stink bomb of a Yellow Weasel?
Its actual combat strength could only be known when it fought other insects. Currently, the entire ant colony lived on the outskirts of the mountains. Although there were a variety of insects and predators living here as well, they posed little threat to the ant colony now.
With the current strength of the Termite colony, not to mention a large centipede or a nest of black stink ants, even if a venomous snake came by, it would likely be killed instantly.
They couldn’t even get close to them.
The Ghost Corps, Puppet Corps, they were just too powerful.
Grade Two special termites, many with super biting abilities, but never had the chance to use them.
Because before making contact, a wave of Mental Attacks would have already taken down the enemy.
As for the Dark Poison Ants, their venom was supposed to be quite formidable. Only, they hadn’t been tested in actual combat yet.
After checking the evolutionary results of the two new ant species, Qin Niu felt quite satisfied.
The variety within the ant colony had become richer, and their methods of combat more diverse.
This was all good news.
He believed that only a bloom of diverse skills could counter various powerful enemies.
The creatures that Insect Masters carefully cultivated were often exceptionally strong.
Right now, he was just holed up here in this mountain ravine, silently growing. Once he slowly emerged onto the stage, he would meet nothing but powerhouses.
Therefore, the richer the development of the ant colony now, the better. “The ant colony added another 99 new members today, not bad!” Looking at the 99 newly molted mature termites, Qin Niu felt extremely content.
