Chapter 199 The elixir is ready
After he finished practicing, he came out of the maze of ancient banyan trees and went to the ant nest to check on their condition.
The thousand termites cultivated the day before yesterday are still evolving.
The evolution time of ordinary first-level termites is about two days, but the thousand new termites cultivated the day before yesterday are all second-level ordinary termites at least. When cultivating them, more ancient banyan tree blood is consumed.
They also took significantly longer to evolve.
Since it was the first time to cultivate this kind of second-level common termites, Qin Niu was not sure.
He remembered that it took seven days to cultivate the second-level war bees produced by the queen bee for the first time, and the evolution time of the two second-level brewing bees was five days.
It is estimated that the time required to cultivate secondary termites will be similar.
As for how long it will take for the third-level magic ant to evolve, we can only wait patiently.
At present, there are three-level extra-large locusts among the locusts. If his ant colony cannot expand and become stronger quickly, it may be difficult to deal with them.
I really hope you can complete the evolution quickly. Then I will have a large army of ants available.
The thought of adding a thousand termites a day is exciting.
After several months of accumulation, he only found less than 3,000 termites of level two or above.
Nowadays, one thousand termites of level three and above can be added in one day. It is estimated that among the insect masters in Black Tiger City, they are all very top-notch beings.
Qin Niu has to help the Yan family get rid of insects tonight.
I hurried down the mountain with a group of termites.
As soon as they came out of the foot of the mountain, they saw Yan Qi and Young Master Yan waiting anxiously at the entrance to the mountain.
Young Master Yan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, frequently looking into the mountains.
When he saw Qin Niu coming out of the mountain, he immediately rushed forward as if he had met his savior.
Master Qin, I finally got you.
Young Master Yan almost wiped away tears.
Master Yan, what happened?
Qin Niu was a little surprised.
Although he has been practicing in the mountains, he will definitely be able to sense if there is anything abnormal about the termites arranged in the Yan family's crop fields.
There is nothing unusual about the termites, which shows that the defense line is very stable.
Master Yan has a noble body and is considered a very distinguished figure in the local area.
What on earth could have caused him to condescend and guard at the foot of the mountain like this?
Master Qin helped my Yan family get rid of three extremely large locusts last night, but I was only willing to pay fifty cents for each locust. When my father learned the news, he scolded me severely. These ten taels of silver are mine. To apologize, Master Qin please don’t be too little.”
Young Master Yan took out ten taels of silver and presented it with both hands.
The attitude is also extremely respectful.
I got rid of those three extra-large locusts for the Yan family for free. Master Yan didn't have to pay.
Qin Niu thought to himself that there were finally some sensible people in the Yan family.
Yan Ruhai works much more grandly than this son.
No, no, no, Master Qin got rid of three powerful locusts for my Yan family for free. That's your kindness. Please accept these ten taels of silver, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my father when I go back.
Young Master Yan has not yet taken over the Yan family.
He is just being trained as a successor. If his performance is not up to standard, for the sake of the family's interests, it is likely that another son will be in charge of the Yan family.
Dealing with Qin Niu today was indeed a big loss.
Okay, thank you very much.
Qin Niu accepted the ten taels of silver with a smile.
The uncle of the Qin family was also obviously relieved.
Thankfully Master Qin was here last night, otherwise my Yan family's crop land would definitely not be safe. According to reliable information, our Pang family and He family in Yuxi Town both suffered disaster last night. The He family has three insect masters, one of whom His strength is two points stronger than Master Mo Sang. These days, most of other families' crops have been destroyed by locust plagues, but the He family has been living in peace.
Last night, the He family was attacked by a very large locust. The defense line collapsed. Most of the locusts drove straight in. At least half of the He family's tea garden was destroyed overnight. It was said that one of the He family's insect masters fell directly to the ground. According to industry insiders' speculation, something might have happened to the insect master's pet.
Tea gardens are a top priority, and major families generally take double protection measures to be on the safe side.
The He family is also an established local wealthy family and made its fortune much earlier than the Yan family.
The defensive measures in the tea plantation are certainly not bad.
These were all defeated, which shows how ferocious the locusts are.
As for the insect master who fell to the ground, it was probably because his pet was destroyed and his soul as a master was traumatized.
Generally speaking, the longer the insect is cultivated, the closer the connection with the owner's spirit becomes.
The trauma to their master's soul when they die is also more intense.
This was also the reason why Qin Niu made Mr. Huang crazy just by squeezing a bee general to death.
Aren’t level three locusts just bigger? Is it very powerful in combat?
Qin Niu couldn't help but feel curious.
It is not easy to kill a bug master's bugs.
Because if you want to become a bug master, you must at least have a level three bug that can obey commands.
The extra-large locusts are only at Level 3, not Level 4 yet.
It can actually kill insects of the same level?
In Qin Niu's eyes, the combat effectiveness of the extra-large locusts was extremely impressive.
As long as the fourth child's tentacles move, the giant locust will immediately become a puppet. Sending a few more secondary termites will easily kill them. Not to mention the Golden Toad, one bite is as easy and casual as eating a snack.
“The Pang family has an insect master of their own and hired three more, but they still couldn’t hold on and the defense was breached.
However, the situation of the Pang family is much better. I heard that the situation was stabilized quickly and the losses were not huge.
Both of their families only found one extra-large locust, but my Yan family got lucky and three came directly. Fortunately, Master Qin is here, otherwise our Yan family's crops would have been in ruins.
After hearing what happened to the other two big families, the eldest son of the Yan family realized how difficult it was for Qin Niu to kill three extra large locusts by himself last night.
The Pang family's insect masters were obviously stronger.
It didn't block it at the beginning, which shows that the conventional strength is no match for the giant locust.
He must have used his trump card later to save the situation.
It also indirectly shows that the Pang family has the ability to deal with level three extra-large locusts.
Qin Niu already had an idea of the strength of these two insect masters.
There was another piece of information that made him wary.
The other two families were only attacked by one extremely large locust, and the Yan family also only had one at the beginning.
After being captured instantly by Qin Niu, three more came.
This shouldn't be a coincidence.
It is possible that the manipulator behind the scenes noticed something unusual and sent three extra large locusts to rescue or test.
If this is the case, Qin Niu is in a very dangerous situation now.
The person controlling the insects behind the scenes is most likely a member of the Nine Insects Gang.
If it is discovered that there is a powerful insect master hiding in the small Shuangfeng Village, an in-depth investigation will be carried out secretly. When the time comes, it will be bad if Mr. Huang's disappearance is linked to him.
Mr. Huang's master is an elder of the Nine Chong Gang.
If his beloved disciple is killed, the elder will be furious.
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Qin Niu's back.
Master Yan, to be honest, in order to deal with those extra-large locusts last night, I used all my cards and exhausted all the strength I had finally accumulated. If those extra-large locusts appear again today, I won't be able to resist them at all. . This is also morning time, why do I remind you to make plans early.
Qin Niu showed a grimace.
When he talked about using up all his accumulated strength, his face was full of pain and distress.
Ah... what can we do? If Master Qin can't hold on, my Yan family's crops will definitely be in danger.
The eldest son of the Yan family was shocked when he heard this.
Whatever can be saved then! If you can harvest corn, wheat, and rice, try to harvest them as soon as possible. As for the mulberry fields and tea gardens, if you want to save them, I'm afraid you have to invite more powerful insect masters to come over.
Qin Niu was preparing to retreat bravely.
After helping the Yan family guard for so many days, it is worthy of the Yan family.
Now that he is aware of the danger, Qin Niu will never be the leader again.
…
When they went to the Yan family for dinner, both masters Mo and Shi were in low spirits, and even the beautiful maid in their arms no longer smelled good.
They must have also heard the news that one of the He family's insect masters had even killed the insects.
For a bug master, the bugs he raises are his lifeblood.
If the insect dies, the insect master basically exists in name only. Especially low-level insect masters are often only good at insects and have extremely weak risk resistance.
Not only did the pessimism spread among the two insect masters, but the eldest son of the Yan family was also frowning and full of worry.
After Qin Niu had dinner, he came to the defense line to check.
The termites were still very impressive, hunting a total of seventy-six special locusts.
However, no third-level extraordinarily large locusts were found.
And the number of special locusts they hunted was significantly less than yesterday.
This made Qin Niu feel even more uneasy.
He also acts more cautiously and low-key.
If a third-level extraordinarily large locust came again this time, he would definitely let it pass.
Four days passed in the blink of an eye.
The defense line stationed by Qin Niu has always been stable. Not to mention the extremely large third-level locusts, even the number of second-level special locusts is getting smaller and smaller.
The locust plague seems to be ending.
The Yan family has been living on tenterhooks these past few days. The eldest son of the Yan family runs around inspecting the fields with two dark circles under his eyes every day.
The grain that can be harvested is also organized by domestic slaves and workers to harvest.
Qin Niu wastes no time in practicing and cultivating insects every day.
He knew very well that the calm of the past few days was likely to be a precursor to the coming storm.
One day, while he was cultivating newly hatched bees at home, he heard someone outside asking for permission to see him.
The people who came were the staff of Miaodan Pavilion.
Because he was too busy, he gave the beast pill to Master Zizhou and stopped taking care of it.
Master Qin Niu, this is the elixir you entrusted our Miaodan Pavilion to refine. Now that the elixir has been refined, congratulations.
Two people came and handed a box to Qin Niu.
Great! Thank you for your hard work! Please thank Master Zizhou on my behalf.
This is really a timely rain, just wait for it.
After taking the box, Qin Niu opened it and took a look.
There was a green pill inside, almost the size of an egg yolk.
Next to it are two earth-yellow pills sealed with wax.
It looks like two clay balls.
The volume is also much smaller than the green pill.
It is estimated to be about the size of a pigeon egg at most.
Are you giving me two extra pills?
Qin Niu asked curiously.
