Chapter 363: Chapter 356 Demonization is the Foundation_1

As the Poisonous Ants died one by one, Qin Niu’s heart ached.

Each Termite was his cherished treasure.

Dark Poison Ants, even in their early stages, used to be a scarce variety within the ant colony.

Now, as the Ant Queen’s strength continued to grow, Poisonous Ants had become a mass-produced common variety. Moreover, their venom evolved from mildly toxic to extremely poisonous.

Despite the elder being bitten by so many Dark Poison Ants without issue, it did not mean the Poisonous Ants were not formidable.

The elder himself was an expert at dealing with insects; surely he possessed some special methods to resist the potent venom of the Poisonous Ants.

However, during his feigned death, the symptoms of poisoning he acted out did not match up at all, suggesting he was not as proficient in understanding the insects’ venom as one might think.

“Fourth, you’ve been biting him for a while now, but he doesn’t seem to be affected. It seems your venom needs further evolution!”

Qin Niu quietly monitored the elder’s movements while communicating with Fourth.

“What makes us War Demon Ants formidable isn’t our venom, but our demonization attack. If my lord requires it, I will strive to evolve my venom further in the future,”

Fourth explained to him.

As Fourth’s wisdom continuously increased, communicating with it had become very smooth.

“You are small, which is a natural disadvantage. Evolving your venom would be greatly beneficial for you. In the future, it could be an effective strategy against strong enemies,”

Qin Niu pointed out a direction for its future development.

Demon Ants and War Demon Ants actually belong to the same category.

War Demon Ants are the cream of the crop among Demon Ants.

At least, that’s how Qin Niu understood it.

As Fourth mentioned, their strongest ability lies in demonization.

It just felt extremely difficult to enhance their demonization ability.

Fourth had been a War Demon Ant for quite some time now, and its level had even risen to Grade Six. Apart from demonization, all other special abilities had improved, but the demonization remained the same.

“Your venom is very special, having the effect of eroding the soul. In the future, when evolving your venom, you could continue in this direction. Moreover, your demonization is fundamental and can be evolved as an innate ability. In terms of importance, demonization is even more critical than venom. Do you understand what I mean?”

Qin Niu was worried that Fourth’s thinking was too simplistic and couldn’t differentiate between primary and secondary matters.

“Understood! Master, you don’t need to worry. My venomous ability was evolved, while demonization is innate. No matter how much I evolve my venom, it won’t surpass the capability of demonization,”

Fourth explained to him.

There will certainly be differences between innate abilities and those evolved later.

Innate abilities hold more advantage.

While Qin Niu was exchanging thoughts with the War Demon Ant, the elder’s frantic slashing garnered no results.

Moreover, his condition seemed to be deteriorating.

His complexion was ashen, his eyes were fierce but lacked luster, and the wound on his amputated arm had stopped bleeding and begun to scab over. The injury on his back, though still gruesome, had started to scab as well.

One must commend the effectiveness of the Healing Elixir.

With such severe injuries, it was incredible that they had begun to scab over in just a day and a night.

“You little demon brat, managing to ambush and get the better of me this time. As the green hills last and the rivers flow on, you best hope not to fall into my hands,”

After his declaration, the elder, gritting his teeth, swiftly moved towards the mountain’s exterior.

His movements remained agile.

A Spirit Qi Realm expert does indeed have formidable vitality.

Elder Jiu Yin had also been severely injured last time, yet he still possessed terrifying combat power.

The injuries suffered by the elder didn’t seem any lighter than those of Elder Jiu Yin, yet he was just as resilient.

Qin Niu watched the elder’s retreating figure with a furrowed brow.

Lately, it seemed he had been particularly unlucky, constantly encountering opponents far stronger than himself.

He had also been earnestly summarizing lessons and experiences.

Getting involved with the He Family was akin to being an innocent bystander shot while lying down.

He Lao Si was defecating on his head, intent on taking his hundred acres of good farmland. If Qin Niu gave in once, there would surely be a second time.

Just like when Wang Haikun bullied him before.

Once they taste success, wouldn’t they exploit him to death in the future?

Qin Niu felt he had the strength to confront the He Family, so he was unwilling to suffer this silent injustice.

“`

It turned out that he did indeed manage to annihilate the entire He Family using his own strength.

And he got away unscathed.

This time, the enemy he provoked was even more terrifying.

It seemed avoidable, but it was inevitable.

When Aunty Hua’s daughter was tragically killed, if he did nothing, he would be no different from a cold-blooded animal.

He knew the consequences when he took away the Gu hidden inside the willow tree.

And he had always suspected that it was the work of Elder Mei from the Nine Insect Gang.

Elder Mei would come for him sooner or later; there was no avoiding it.

Unless he could take his wives and concubines and flee far away, to live in anonymity.

Provoking Elder Mei this time merely accelerated the onset of this crisis. He had no regrets.

If he had to choose again, he would probably make the same decision.

Had he not taken those Blood Gu and allowed Elder Mei to acquire them, this enemy would have become even more powerful.

Better to have them fall into Qin Niu’s hands.

That way, he not only increased his own strength but also weakened the enemy’s power by comparison.

It was killing two birds with one stone.

Whether this old man was Elder Mei, it was still hard to say.

Because he had never seen what Elder Mei looked like.

After the old man’s silhouette disappeared, Qin Niu remained motionless, crouched in his hiding spot.

When dealing with such an extremely cunning adversary, one had to be careful and cautious in every respect.

Deep in the mountains, weary birds returned to the woods.

Nightfall was approaching quickly.

A day’s time had truly flown by in the blink of an eye.

Qin Niu slightly regretted not bringing Green Ox into the deep mountains. If he had brought Green Ox, he might have already ended this hunting game.

Now his situation was very passive.

He could only engage in a war of attrition with his opponent.

With the old man’s intelligence, once his injuries recovered, it was almost certain that he would investigate Shuangfeng Village.

At that time, Qin Niu’s entire family would be in danger.

The idea of creating a strong base where he could seek refuge in the face of powerful enemies grew stronger in his mind.

“Fourth, I’m giving you a mission. Take a group of Termites to search this area and see if there are any spiders or other insects lurking. If so, kill them on the spot.”

Qin Niu released the Termites to clean up the area.

Strangely enough, there were lots of caterpillars around the periphery of the forest. But near this highest peak, no caterpillars were to be found.

Whether it was because a Demon Bird was guarding the area, rendering those caterpillars too afraid to invade, was unknown.

Fourth and the other Termites quickly made some kills.

Various insects living in this area suffered, mercilessly killed by them.

As Fourth and the ant swarm were on a killing spree, Qin Niu sensed an extremely dangerous aura.

“Fourth, immediately scatter the Termites and hide on the spot,”

Qin Niu gave the order.

It was too late to recall them now.

Time did not permit it.

Hiding on the spot, taking advantage of the Termites’ small bodies, underneath leaves, gaps under trees, and tree hollows were all places they could take cover.

No sooner had the Termites hidden themselves than a blurred figure appeared from a distance, getting closer.

It was the old man who had left earlier.

With a ferocious expression and brimming with killing intent, he hurried back.

Seeing his frantic appearance, it was very likely that some of the insects killed by the Termites were his.
