“Master, look at this armor!”

Xiao Qing came over wearing the armor. Even though it was tailor-made, it still looked somewhat oversized on her petite frame.

As soon as she finished speaking, a faint green glow emerged on the surface of the armor.

It enveloped her like a light cocoon.

“This…you can activate it with your power?”

Qin Niu asked in surprise.

“Yes! Your set should be able to as well.”

Xiao Qing was still a child, and her playful nature shone through. She tried to activate the Pig King’s armor with her power and accidentally discovered that it could produce a green glow.

“After being activated with power, its defense should be enhanced.”

Qin Niu tried to activate the Pig King’s armor with his power and indeed found that he could allow power to enter into the armor.

Once the armor absorbed his power, a green glow began to appear on its surface.

As he poured more and more power into it, the green glow grew increasingly solid.

He picked up an ordinary firewood knife and chopped at the armor.

When the blade was about half an inch from the armor, it was clearly met with resistance. It was blocked by the light cocoon formed by the green glow.

“The armor maker didn’t tell me that the defense of the armor could be enhanced when activated with power! This Pig King’s armor is really good.”

Qin Niu was already very satisfied with this set of armor, and now he loved it even more.

Light and flexible, yet its defense surpasses that of the heavy Hundred- Tempering Black Armor by a great deal.

Killing that Pig King was really a stroke of good fortune.

He wondered if there were any more Pig Kings in that forest.

“Alt Niu, is your cultivation now particularly terrifying?”

Wang Wanyan watched enviously as both master and servant had high-level armor.

What surprised her even more was Qin Niu’s cultivation.

When Qin Niu activated the Pig King’s armor earlier, the breath he unintentionally leaked out was extremely frightening, like a mountain collapsing, like a raging wave sweeping over.

This kind of breath was even more terrifying than the Black Armored Army at the gate of Black Tiger City.

It was truly shocking.

” It’s not bad! A bit stronger than the average person.” After witnessing the terrifying cultivation of the five ancestors of the Fang Family, Qin Niu only felt like an ant.

He was still miles away from the real powerhouses.

“Xiao Qing, remember to wear this armor every day from now on. It can protect you from harm at critical moments. I need to go into the mountains again. You all should go back and rest! Wan Yan, I will take you hunting in the mountains tomorrow during the day.”

“Okay!”

She saw Qin Niu’s strength, witnessed his rapid changes day by day, and her heart was filled with longing.

And boundless admiration.

Ah Niu, who started low and relied on no one, had fought for his own place in the world.

He was definitely worth learning from.

After Qin Niu went into the mountains, he found that the Ant Nest was normal, which gave him some peace of mind.

“You three, come out and eat.”

He insisted on feeding those three termites leaves from the Broad-leaf Trillium every day.

They hadn’t changed much.

After the termites metamorphosed into adults, it was difficult for them to evolve further.

After that Worker Ant finished eating, he then fed the other two Soldier Ants.

During this free time, Qin Niu checked the attributes of the ant colony.

The ant colony had developed quite well by now, and the species were diverse. The number of Grade Two special ants had long surpassed two thousand, and the number of Grade Three special ants had broken through fifty.

It was a fruitful achievement.

Ranged attack, close combat—they all possessed formidable combat strength.

“Huh, the ant colony has a new species!”

He was pleasantly surprised and taken aback.

Healing Ant: 1, Lifespan: 3 years, Special Ability: (Heals injured termites)

This was a special Grade One Worker Ant.

Qin Niu wasn’t clear on how it came about.

The abilities of the Ant Queen didn’t include the power to produce this kind of termite. Previously, no Healing Ants had been produced.

Like Fourth, it belonged to a special rare species, or did it appear for some other reason?

For example, Qin Niu had been consistently feeding those three termites leaves from the Broad-leaf Trillium. Could it be that after the Worker Ant ate the leaves and then fed the young ants, it caused a mutation?

This possibility was very high.

Although this Healing Ant’s special ability wasn’t combat-related, in Qin Niu’s eyes, it was a treasure.

With it around, his termites could be healed by this Healing Ant after suffering injuries in battle.

“Should I further cultivate it?”

Qin Niu summoned the Healing Ant, which was still a freshly metamorphosed juvenile ant, small in stature. Its mouthparts were white, no different from ordinary Worker Ants elsewhere.

Normal termites have brown or black mouthparts.

The mouthparts of this Healing Ant, however, were white.

Now, except for the newly metamorphosed adult termites, the rest in the entire ant colony had either been cultivated into special termites by Qin Niu or were in the process of evolving.

A Grade One Healing Ant appeared extremely weak within the ant colony.

Looking at this little guy, Qin Niu hesitated.

Although his success rate at cultivating termites was now very high, with a mortality rate of less than 1%, there was still some risk.

If such Healing Ants would no longer appear in the future, it would be even more precious.

But without further cultivation, the abilities of a Grade One ant were limited and its lifespan was short.

After three years, it would still die.

If indeed the mutation occurred because that Worker Ant ate the Broad-leaf Trillium leaves and then fed the young ants, then continuing to feed them the leaves should be able to produce more Healing Ants in the future.

“Let’s take a gamble! This test of life and death is a challenge that every termite wishing to become strong must go through.”

Qin Niu finally decided to cultivate it immediately.

The molted larvae, newly transformed into adult ants, were actually the easiest to cultivate.

Although their bodies were fragile and delicate, they were highly elastic, and required less Banyan Blood Potion for feeding.

Therefore, the risk of their bodies bursting was relatively lower.

After calculating several times according to its size, Qin Niu directly fed it Banyan Tree Blood.

He then proceeded to mass cultivate the adult larvae that had just emerged from their cocoons today.

By the time he was done, he found that the Healing Ant had safely passed the critical stage, saving him undue worry.

Now all that was left was to wait for it to complete its evolution.

Having finished cultivating the termites, he moved on to check on the two Corpse Bees he was keeping in captivity.

He had even taken care to hide them in two different places.

The Grade Four Corpse Bee was incubating the eggs it had laid.

The War Bee was obediently lying still, nurturing its bee eggs.

Based on the egg-laying timing of the Grade Four Corpse Bee, it was estimated that it would take more than ten days for it to lay its eggs successfully.

Qin Niu was not in a hurry.

The later Old Master Huang made his move, the stronger the power Qin Niu would have accumulated by then.

Days passed by, and with his help, Wang Wanyan gradually learned to take the cat she was taming into the mountains to hunt.

Since it was an ordinary cat, its combat power was very limited.

On the first day, it only caught a sparrow in the mountains.

Unexpectedly, this thrilled Wang Wanyan to no end.

As a sheltered young lady, she had spent her days reading, playing the zither, and cultivating in her loft, never experiencing such an exhilarating mountain hunt before.

Fortunately, the cat’s strength visibly increased bit by bit after eating the pig king meat that Qin Niu had given it.

Keeping a domestic cat as a pet was actually not a good choice.

From a rational point of view, it was somewhat willful.

Even keeping a wild cat as a pet was better than keeping a domestic cat.

A domestic cat’s combat experience, ferocity, alertness, and wilderness survival skills were all inferior to those of a wild cat. It would need to spend a lot of time and undergo continuous training to reach a level comparable to that of a wild cat.

With the time and energy required for this, it would be better to directly tame a wild cat instead.

However, seeing that she seemed quite satisfied, Qin Niu silently supported her.

For the time being, he was just giving her some pig king meat to feed the cat.

In the future, he would consider using even stronger “good stuff” to help her cat evolve.

In the blink of an eye, four days had passed.

Qin Niu’s Healing Ant had finally completed its evolution.

Its size had visibly become much larger, and its movements had become as agile as those of a Lightning Worker Ant.

Based on Qin Niu’s cultivation experience, the Healing Ant was definitely stronger than a regular Grade Two Lightning Worker Ant after evolving.

Grade Two Medical Ant: One individual, lifespan of 13 years, special abilities (quickly heal injured termites, swiftness, super-strong biting, immune to various venom attacks.)

These were the changes after the Healing Ant evolved.

Although he had yet to see its healing abilities, they were clearly much more powerful than a Grade One Healing Ant, as evidenced by its attributes.

It could quickly heal injured termites.

At the same time, its speed had greatly increased, and it also possessed a special ability that other termites would envy: immunity to various venom attacks.

This was an incredibly powerful attribute.

Why are bugs scary?

Because most of them possess venom.

They are small, and in order to survive, developing venom attacks became a powerful survival mechanism.

Upon returning home from the mountains, he prepared to take some jars to collect Banyan Tree Blood.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard a buzzing sound.

He was familiar with this sound.

The sound of bees vibrating their wings.

A swarm of bees flew towards him.

He instinctively prepared to activate his power to strengthen his armor, to prevent being stung by the bees.

“No, these are my bees!”

He immediately felt a connection with them.

Since they were the offspring produced by the Queen Bee, there was no particularly close soul-bond with Qin Niu.

But he could still feel a slight, almost imperceptible force of a contract.

“Haha, could these be the first batch of one hundred bee eggs laid by the Queen Bee that have successfully emerged from their cocoons?”

Looking at the swarm of new bees that flew over to greet him, each one tender and fresh.

“Don’t worry, I’ll cultivate you right away.”

Qin Niu felt that today was a good day indeed.

The emergence of the first hundred new bees signified that from now on, every day would bring one hundred new bees successfully emerging from their cocoons.

The number of bees under his command was set to increase dramatically.

This was a force to be reckoned with in aerial combat.

Check the bee swarm.

Bee Swarm: Worker Bees 28651, Drones 272, Young Queen Bees 0.

Grade Two War Bee: One individual, lifespan of 3 years, special abilities (agile flight, bravery, enhanced biting, strengthened stinger.)

Grade Two Honey-Making Bee: Two individuals, lifespan of 2 years, special abilities (gathering essence of pollen, advanced honey-making.)

Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees: 132 individuals, lifespan of 10.2 years, special abilities (superior gathering ability, can efficiently and quickly gather pollen. Good flying ability, can fly more than five times faster than ordinary bees, turning and rolling in the air agilely. Paralyzing Venom, the venom injected after stinging an enemy has a paralyzing effect, the duration varies according to the enemy’s strength. Strong biting, can tear at an enemy’s body, effective at breaching initial level carapaces.)

Grade One Giant Wing Worker Bee: Five individuals, lifespan of 5 years, special abilities (can fly quickly over long distances, pollen gathering efficiency +50%, average bite force.)

After checking the attributes of the bee swarm, he revealed a brilliant smile.

Breeding and cultivation are much like farming, the process can be arduous and fraught with risks, but often brings various unexpected rewards.
