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

Chapter 508: Chapter 500 Killing Demons So Easily

In an instant, the poison that had infiltrated his body was completely cleansed by the Ink Blade Gu.

“Master, this scorpion poison is really good stuff, I haven’t eaten such powerful venom in a long time.”

The Ink Blade Gu communicated with Qin Niu through Divine Sense.

It seemed very excited, like a child who had tasted fresh delicacies for the first time.

“Since you like it so much, then absorb a bit more.”

Qin Niu directly released the Ink Blade Gu from his body, allowing it to absorb the yellow mist on its own.

However, he kept a close watch on it, mainly worried that the Scorpion Demon would kill it.

The fierce battle was still ongoing; the yellow fog produced by the Scorpion Demon was quickly dissipating, gradually revealing its true form.

What a creature, it was a scorpion spirit as big as a calf.

Its body was clad in dark brown armor with a metallic sheen, indicating that it was extremely hard to penetrate, impervious to swords and spears. The Green Demon Bees formed an Insect Formation, taking turns to attack the colossal Scorpion Demon.

On the periphery, a large number of termites, Shadow Fire Bees, and War Bees also set up the All-Heaven Myriad Insects Formation.

Having so many Insect Pets work together to form a formation in such a short time of training resulted in the formation not being very flexible.

Nevertheless, their combined formation was considered a success, significantly amplifying the attack power of the Green Demon Bees.

The Green Demon Bee Queen was the focal point of the Insect Formation.

It was on Qin Niu.

This was also Qin Niu learning from the lesson of that Mysterious Gu Master. The All-Heaven Myriad Insects Formation was powerful, but if the enemy spotted the focal point, it would be easy to break the formation.

By carrying the Green Demon Bee Queen on himself, Qin Niu made it so that the enemy would have to kill him first to break the formation.

The difficulty of doing so was likely at a hellish level.

With this strategy, the chance of an enemy breaking the All-Heaven Myriad Insects Formation he had set up was nearly impossible.

Unless they managed to kill most of his Insect Pets.

“Here I was thinking this Scorpion Demon was so strong, but it’s nothing much in front of my swarm of Green Demon Bees.”

Through actual combat, Qin Niu gained a clear understanding of the true combat strength of the Green Demon Bees and the All-Heaven Myriad Insects Formation.

This Scorpion Demon was so large; it had to be at least Grade Ten or above. Yet, under the relentless attack of over a hundred Green Demon Bees, it was reduced to only being able to defend.

If the Scorpion Demon had no other tricks up its sleeve, its defeat was just a matter of time.

Its gigantic scorpion tail struck fiercely at the Green Demon Bees attacking it, but to no avail as they were too fast and seemingly unperturbed by the scorpion poison, handling it with ease.

These were only Grade Eight Green Demon Bees. If they were upgraded to Grade Ten, their combat power might be strong enough to kill an Immortal Master easily.

“Planning to run away?”

Qin Niu watched as the Scorpion Demon, clearly no match for the swarm of Green Demon Bees, frantically tried to escape.

Did it think that after being lured out of the valley by Qin Niu, it could simply run away?

The Ant Queen and Green Demon Bees’ upgrade depended on this very Scorpion Demon.

Before this, if Qin Niu had found the Scorpion Demon’s strength to be noteworthy, with standout abilities, he would have considered taking it in. But having seen its performance in battle, he could only describe it as mediocre.

This was just an ordinary scorpion spirit. Perhaps due to good fortune or an exceptional talent for cultivation, it had managed to become a demon.

The Scorpion Demon’s attempts to break free were all thwarted by the Green Demon Bees, and its yellow fog was almost completely depleted, suggesting it was on its last legs.

At that moment, the Scorpion Demon suddenly started spinning in place, and its turning speed grew faster and faster.

Upon seeing this, Qin Niu immediately sensed trouble — it was likely about to use a life-saving measure.

“Die!”

He was worried that delaying could lead to complications, so he decided to make his move without hesitation.

Now was not the time for playing cat and mouse. Otherwise, the situation could easily turn into the mouse playing with the cat.

If the Scorpion Demon managed to escape back into the valley, finding it again would be difficult.

The Ink Blade had not been officially used in combat since its upgrade.

Right now, Qin Niu gripped the Ink Blade and slashed at the Scorpion Demon.

The blade Qi that was several inches long was highly condensed, and near the edge of the blade, a slight blade light had formed. This slash was executed brilliantly.

A faint black line appeared in the air in front of the blade Qi.

This was the Rupture effect.

The Scorpion Demon was rapidly twirling its body, attempting to deploy a life-saving measure to escape, but it sensed the human with the blade charging to strike without having made a move previously. It could feel the threat of death looming.

Out of fright, it hastily raised its tail to block.

Bang!

The tail of the Scorpion Demon was easily severed, and it let out a “squeak” of agony.

The momentum of the blade was relentless, mercilessly striking its carapace.

Bang!

Once again, a thunderous slashing sound resounded as its carapace was split open, and pale yellow blood began to ooze out.

The Scorpion Demon emitted another pitiful shriek, for it was severely wounded.

“How is a demon any different? It’s just like this!”

Qin Niu found that after the Ink Blade had tasted blood, it became exceptionally excited, its blade trembling slightly and emitting a deep sword cry.

A massive wound had been gouged into the Scorpion Demon’s carapace; it struggled only a few times before its demonic energy began to dissipate. The Green Demon Bees were instinctively wanting to devour the Scorpion Demon’s body.

Qin Niu hastily halted them.

Once the Scorpion Demon was dead through and through, a wisp of black air was absorbed by the Ink Blade.

If he wasn’t mistaken, that should’ve been its demonic soul.

The Ink Blade, having absorbed a demonic soul, seemed thoroughly satisfied. The blade trembled violently as sparks danced across it.

Its power also visibly increased a great deal.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“With my current strength, to kill an insect demon was unexpectedly so simple. Doesn’t it mean that I already have the ability to slay the Tyrant Spider Demon that belongs to the Nine Insects Gang Leader?”

Qin Niu weighed the notion in his mind.

On this trip to Elixir City to seek fortunes with immortals, he was bound to encounter the Nine Insects Gang Leader. If conflicts arose by then, as long as someone could hold her off, Qin Niu would be able to seize the opportunity to kill her spider demon.

He slapped the Hundred Treasures Insect Bag, and a ray of white light emerged, directly sweeping the colossal corpse of the Scorpion Demon into the bag.

This Insect Bag was definitely a treasure of the immortals.

The only drawback was that it could only take in insects. Other objects could not be stored inside the Insect Bag.

“First, go back and feed the body of the Scorpion Demon to the Ant Queen, plant this fruit tree in my backyard, and come back tomorrow to explore this valley.”

Qin Niu was truly delighted in his heart after having successfully slain the Scorpion Demon.

This type of top-tier resource for breeding insects was limited; he could not afford to share it evenly. He only planned to use it to feed the Ant Queen and the Green Demon Bee Queen.

With the Water and Land Dharma Assembly approaching, he must focus resources on cultivating the two most important insect pets.

One crawled on the ground, and the other flew through the air.

With these two queens, Qin Niu would be able to continuously breed a large number of Termites and Green Demon Bees.

In only about half an hour, he arrived in front of the Ant Nest.

Now, within this whole mountain territory, he truly felt as easygoing as if he were strolling through his own backyard.

He was pondering, if the Scorpion Demon fed to the Ant Queen and the Green Demon Bee Queen had good results, should he also slaughter the Rat Demon?

The exterior of the Ant Nest looked no different from before.

But Qin Niu was well aware that the Termites had excavated a vast and deep nest underground.

The Ant Queen had also moved several times.

This time for his long journey, he was considering whether to take the Ant Queen with him?

After all, the Hundred Treasures Insect Bag had the capacity for this.

No matter how many insects there were, it could fit them all. Moreover, insects could maintain a very ideal state inside the Insect Bag.

After careful consideration, he ultimately dismissed the idea of taking the Ant Queen with him.

Letting it stay entrenched in this mountain territory, continually managing the entire ant colony, might be better.

“Fourth, lead the Demon Ants to work. Your task is to consume the Scorpion Demon’s body and then feed it to the Ant Queen.”

After retrieving the Scorpion Demon’s corpse from the Insect Bag, Qin Niu cut it into two with a single stroke.

At that moment, a bead the size of an eyeball appeared within the corpse, close to the section near the Scorpion Demon’s head.

“An inner core! I almost forgot about this!”

Qin Niu was pleasantly surprised.
