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

Looking at the bees’ appearance, there were traces of Green Demon Bee in their design.

If he wasn’t mistaken, it was very likely that after capturing Steel-winged Wild Bees, they were cultivated, ultimately resulting in this batch of Steel-winged Green-headed Poison Bees.

Given the Green Demon’s cunning nature, it wouldn’t possibly release a second-rate product of the true Green Demon Bee into the wild.

Because for any Insect Master, maintaining a monopoly permitted uniqueness, without the worry of being surpassed by someone else.

The wildest bees of Black Stone Village were the Steel-winged Wild Bees.

They had the bloodline of Green Demon Bees, but the strongest were only around Grade Five. Not even one Grade Six Steel-winged Wild Bee was spotted.

This in itself spoke volumes.

The difficulty of natural evolution in the wild was comparatively higher, but over so many years, such a vast group of Steel-winged Wild Bees had not produced a single Grade Six Steel-winged Wild Bee.

This was definitely against common sense.

It suggested that Green Demon had meddled with the Steel-winged Wild Bees it released into the wild, or perhaps deliberately eliminated any bee species that couldn’t achieve a high enough level.

Their growth ceiling was probably around Grade Five.

For them to advance to a higher level would be incredibly difficult.

At the moment, nearly a hundred poison bees besieging Master He Shan were basically all at Grade Six. This indicated that their master had captured Steel-winged Wild Bees and had subsequently gone through a series of cultivations. Finally, he had successfully made a breakthrough, allowing them to ascend to Grade Six.

Among the Steel-winged Wild Bees that Qin Niu had captured, aside from the Grade Five Steel-winged Wild Bees, there was also a special summoning bee. They too had green heads, and they came and went like the wind, flying at extreme speeds.

But the abilities of the two types of Steel-winged Green-headed Bees were completely different.

They also looked drastically different from each other.

Another interesting phenomenon was noticed.

Most Insect Masters believed that any poison bees with a touch of green had the pure bloodline of Green Demon Bees. Why were the two green giant bumblebees that Qin Niu sold initially so popular?

The main reason was that they possessed a certain special ability, and their wings were green.

Whether it was the spoilt young girl who bought them or Old Master Huang, they must have thought they found a great deal, acquiring bumblebees with the pure bloodline of Green Demon Bees.

In their wildest dreams, they couldn’t imagine that Qin Niu had cultivated a special bee variety with just a small amount of Ancient Banyan Tree Blood.

One hundred and fifty Silver Money a piece, which was absolutely a huge sum of money for the once dirt-poor Qin Niu.

Qin Niu wasn’t fearful of the hundred Steel-winged Green-headed Poison Bees attacking Master He Shan because he had tamed a real Green Demon Bee. Even though the Green Demon Bee wasn’t hatched yet, Qin Niu was like the Emperor Emeritus; all poison bees with the Green Demon Bee bloodline wouldn’t attack him.

Instead, they were extremely wary of him.

This was due to the inherent suppression of bloodline hierarchy.

Because the Green Demon Bee that Qin Niu had, was akin to their ancestor.

Thus, when he rescued Elder He Shan, he directly ignored the attack of the swarm of poison bees. Instead, he targeted the Binding Fairy Spider hiding in the fog, spitting out webs.

The threat posed by this spider was enormous.

Its web was nearly transparent, and amidst the black night, compounded with the covering fog in the area, spotting its shot webs was exceedingly difficult.

A common spider, even capable of entwining prey with web, usually traps its prey in a web first before moving forward to wrap from the back and bind the Prey.

Yet this Binding Fairy Spider could directly spray its web to entangle enemies.

Master He Shan’s lion was already entangled around its two front paws, now angrily roaring and struggling, trying to tear apart those fine webs.

However, the web was extremely sharp, easily cutting deep into the lion’s flesh.

Wounds had already appeared on its front legs, with blood flowing freely.

Such a method of attack was terrifying.

If a person were entwined in the web, who would dare to struggle?

No one would dare to move.

They could only submit meekly.

It was precisely because of the spider’s great danger that Qin Niu, by leveraging Fourth’s sense ability and locking onto the Binding Fairy Spider’s location, sped up and rushed towards it. He raised his hand and slashed down at it with all his might.

Squeak!

This scourge was still fierce, finding that Qin Niu attacked it, it actually spat out transparent spider silk, trying to bind Qin Niu.

Its size was roughly as big as a bucket.

The height of its abdomen was also about the same as a bucket, its body was gray, decorated with light white spots.

But the color of the spots was not pure white, rather it was a grayish white.

This also made it more advantageous for it to hide its shape in this dark environment.

However, it seemed to have underestimated the power of Qin Niu’s blade.

By happenstance, a strike that coincidentally produced a rupture effect.

Shik!

Like tearing through cloth with ease, this insolent Binding Fairy Spider indeed deserved to have this calamity in its fate.

It was cleaved into two halves by a single strike from Qin Niu.

The spider silk it spat out was extremely sticky and also incredibly fast.

Blocked by Qin Niu’s horn shield.

Then he returned the blade to cut it off.

The Ink Blade proved itself as a Treasured Sword, indeed having been worth the many days it was nurtured.

Its material was not much to speak of, really.

However, after being nourished by the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, it had completely transformed, becoming an exceptional Treasured Sword.

Even without Qin Niu exerting any force, he could make it display Blade Qi.

This allowed its sharpness to far surpass that of ordinary divine weapons.

Easily cutting through the Binding Fairy Spider’s spider silk.

“Kill my beloved spider, die!”

A man with disheveled hair, looking frenzied, wielded two curved blades as he attacked Qin Niu.

A trace of fresh blood dangled from the corner of his mouth, his expression seemed somewhat wilted, obviously because his life-bound insect had been killed, which had severely damaged his spirit and caused him to cough up blood.

Qin Niu currently had numerous insect and beast pets to his name, but he had not decided on his life-bound pet.

There was an advantage to this: if any of them died, the impact on the master would not be particularly severe. At worst, it would just hurt his spirit.

He had experienced such a taste before.

When the two Termites he previously bonded with died, each time, it would leave him spiritless for a long time.

Establishing a spiritual bond with insects or birds and beasts was equivalent to taking them as one’s own.

But that did not mean treating them as life-bound pets.

Knowing well that the death of life-bound pets could cause significant harm to their master, why do so many Insect Masters or Beast Tamers still choose to designate certain pets as their life-bound pets?

Firstly, it is definitely because of affection.

Just like when we fall in love with a man or woman, willing to give selflessly to them.

Taking the hard-earned money and spending it on the other party.

Upon hearing that the other party is sick, one would rush to bring medicine, deliver food, and offer care and concern.

The same goes for pets.

When a certain pet can bring tremendous benefits to the master and is deeply favored by the master, the master will feel that they can’t live without it. They are willing to use the best resources to cultivate it, to help it become stronger.

Treating it as their life-bound insect for cultivation, the master and the insect will become more in sync with each other.

In the future, when the insect becomes particularly strong, it can even nourish the master in return.

It can even be refined into a secondary primordial spirit.

Moreover, when the master is in danger, the life-bound pet will automatically protect the master.

Finally, there’s another point: the life-bound pet has a higher status among the master’s many pets, and can command other pets..
