Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

After eating three kilograms of bear meat in one go, I felt full.

As his cultivation level continued to improve, his physical exertion also became greater and greater.

Fortunately, the bear meat reserves at home are quite sufficient.

It should be fine for half a month.

Just think of ways to hunt after eating. He now practices Changchun Gong. Even if he doesn't practice under the ancient banyan tree, he can steadily improve his cultivation level by more than 2 points. At this rate, it is very likely that he will have broken through to the second level of mortals in half a month.

At that time, his strength will be stronger.

Hunting will also become a little easier.

Carrying the basket on his back, he went to the field to check on some small trees planted yesterday.

I saw that they had turned brown and looked like plants that had been dead for many days.

This made Qin Niu's scalp numb.

I don’t know the origin of that ancient banyan tree, and I’ve never heard anyone mention it.

Logically speaking, for it to grow that big, it should have been around for some years.

Let's say at least a few hundred years.

Why does no one in the village ever say it is evil?

There is only one possibility that Qin Niu can think of: no one who has ever gone in has come out alive.

He was able to escape yesterday and may be the only survivor in hundreds of years.

He wanted to study these small trees again, but then he felt that the termite swarm seemed to be moving, and he immediately rushed towards the mountain.

The mountains were still the same, but he felt a sense of deep awe.

When he arrived in front of the ant nest, his eyes brightened slightly.

I saw Lao Si leading seven or eight soldier ants to fight against the smelly ants.

The largest ant colony around here is probably the nest of smelly ants.

Because they are already a mature ant colony, with at least 10,000 to 20,000 adult worker ants. In order to maintain the food needs of such a large ant colony, they will certainly forage everywhere.

It was only a matter of time before he encountered Qin Niu's termite colony.

Stinky ants are so powerful that they can build gray nests that resemble honeycombs on tree branches, or they can also build ant nests in soft ground.

They crawl very fast and have a very ferocious temperament.

This kind of black sour ant is called the "wolf among ants" and has a strong sense of territory. Whether humans or other animals intrude into their territory, they will be attacked immediately.

Compared with them, the termites raised by Qin Niu are obviously much smaller.

This is mainly because the first batch of worker ants were inferior workers, and only the fourth child survived. It is smaller than the average adult termite.

The subsequent batches of worker ants and soldier ants that hatched only took a few days to transform into adults because they were still 'children'.

Naturally, the body size is not very large.

So compared to this trapped black stinky ant, they are like a pack of wild dogs surrounding a male lion.

Two powerful soldier ants guard the entrance of the nest to prevent the smelly ants from entering.

About seven or eight worker ants and soldier ants surrounded this black stinky ant.

The fourth child stayed on its escape route and cut off its retreat.

Qin Niu admired their clever formation when he saw it.

With the existence of the fourth child, the entire ant colony is equivalent to having a coach with moderate intelligence.

Although the queen ant also has moderate intelligence, her mission is to reproduce.

It has a chance to continue to produce offspring with moderate intelligence like Lao Si.

The queen ant hatches the first batch of worker ants and basically does not interfere in the affairs of the colony. It will only call the worker ants to feed it when it is hungry, and will not care about anything else.

This is actually quite good.

The entire ant colony performs its own duties and has a clear division of labor.

Although that stink ant is big, fast, and ferocious in appearance, the termite colony that besieged it outperformed it.

All five powerful soldier ants participated in the battle.

What remains are three soldier ants.

The eight of them were more like child soldiers, besieging the stinky ants with flexible movements. Every attack is accurate, ruthless and fast.

The stinky ant shrank its entire tail and abdomen slightly tiredly, trying hard to break out of the encirclement and fetch reinforcements.

But Lao Si blocked its retreat.

It can be seen that the fourth child is much stronger than the other five powerful worker ants. One tentacle and one foreleg of a black stinky ant were already scattered in front of it.

This is the price the black stinky ants pay for trying to escape from it.

Qin Niu also found that there was something obviously wrong with the black ant's bitten antennae and the wounds on its foreleg.

The remaining stump was trembling.

"The fourth child has evolved venom. Being bitten by the fourth child means poisoning."

Judging from the relatively agile movement speed of the black stinky ant, the venom of Lao Si did not cause much harm to it.

Perhaps the bite was not on the trunk, so the poison has not yet invaded its large blood vessels.

The blood circulation of ants is very special. Its heart is an enlarged tube located on the back and attached to the aorta. Almost most insects have this type of open blood circulation system.

And its body fluids and blood are inseparable.

If the venom is injected into almost any part of their main body, it will quickly die.

Qin Niu stood aside and watched quietly.

This black stinky ant definitely cannot be put back. Otherwise, the entire termite colony will be destroyed.

Being besieged by five powerful worker ants and three soldier ants, plus being injured, the black stinky ants were obviously unable to resist.

It ran away again in the direction of Laosi's guard.

Only by escaping along the original route can there be hope of survival.

The fourth child turned into an afterimage and rushed towards it.

The two sides only made slight contact before retreating.

The other tentacle of the black stinking ant was bitten off by Lao Si and fell to the ground, trembling.

The fourth child seemed very calm. He clearly had overwhelming combat power, but he did not pursue him. Instead, he left it to the other eight worker ants and soldier ants to deal with the invading enemies.

"The fourth child is training troops?"

Qin Niu immediately understood Lao Si's profound intention.

It and the five powerful worker ants have all fought against the giant centipede, and they have accumulated some combat experience.

But at that time, these five powerful worker ants were not powerful worker ants, but young worker ants that had just metamorphosed. When faced with the invasion of the giant centipede, they could only charge or defend with the fourth child who hatched first and the other three inferior worker ants.

To put it bluntly, they belonged to the role of new recruits at that time.

This time to deal with the invading black stinky ants, they became the leaders of the charge, and the other three young soldier ants were the new recruits.

As for the fourth child, looking at it with ease and rich combat experience, it is obvious that it has become a veteran on the battlefield.

Seeing that the termite swarm had taken control of the battle and victory was only a matter of time, Qin Niu took this opportunity to check the properties of the ant swarm.

Female milk termite (queen)

Level: Level 2 Isoptera, upgrade experience 498/1000

Lifespan: 4.5 years

Energy: 7968

Skills: The first level of reproduction is 1.25/10, the first level of suspended animation is 2/10

Talent: Medium intelligence, breeding offspring with powerful attributes (1%), breeding offspring with slightly poisonous attributes (3%)

Ant colony: 1 inferior worker ant, lifespan of 5 months, special abilities (power, speed, venom, medium intelligence).

There are 5 vigorous worker ants with a life span of 3.2 years.

There are 26 ordinary worker ants with a life span of 3 years.

There are 2 strong soldier ants with a life span of 8 months.

There are 9 ordinary soldier ants with a life span of 6 months.

After continuous development, the ant colony is growing rapidly.

The energy accumulated in the queen ant's body is about to exceed 8,000. Moreover, it has also evolved a special talent for breeding vigorous termites and poisonous termites.

The only frustrating thing is that its reproductive skills can only be improved by 0.1 every day.

This also means that it can lay 10 eggs every day.

This speed is far behind that of normal termite queens.

I don’t know how to help it improve its reproductive ability.
