Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

I looked around, because it was night and there were only dim stars, so I couldn't see very far.

There was no way to find the bridge across the river.

Cowardly Turtle, can you help me cross the river?

Qin Niu came with helpers this time. The Diamond Ink Turtle has at least reached level five, and it has initially mastered the ability to control water.

I just took this opportunity to test its water control ability.

He took the little turtle out of the basket, while the red-eyed golden toad lay comfortably in the basket, sleeping with his eyes closed.

As soon as Qin Niu put the diamond ink turtle on the edge of the river, it crawled to the bank desperately.

What are you doing? Can this little river water still drown you?

Every time he saw its timid and cowardly appearance, Qin Niu became a little annoyed.

The little turtle was scolded and hid at his feet, refusing to go into the river.

Logically speaking, the turtle should be very happy to see the river water.

Because the river is its home.

Do you want me to throw you into the river?

Qin Niu bent down and grabbed the little turtle, preparing to throw it into the river.

I really don’t know what this coward is afraid of?

The little turtle was so frightened that its limbs, tail, and neck all stuck out of the shell, and it kept struggling.

Danger, danger...

Qin Niu felt the intermittent signals coming from it. It communicates with Qin Niu through its soul.

What's the danger?

he asked the little turtle.

Unexpectedly, the little turtle was so anxious just now that it immediately learned to communicate with its owner.

Although it was just a simple exchange of souls, Qin Niu was still very happy.

He has not yet understood the language of beasts.

The communication with the little turtle and the little buffalo was very difficult. Only the Red-Eyed Golden Toad could barely communicate with him.

This made him very helpless.

Now the little turtle takes the initiative to communicate with his soul, which is of great help to him in understanding the beast language.

He struck while the iron was hot and seized the opportunity to communicate with the little turtle.

There is danger in the river...

When the little turtle saw his master trying to throw him into the river, he tried his best to communicate with Qin Niu.

It was really unlucky to meet such an irresponsible owner.

I asked you what dangers there are in the river?

I don't know... I just sensed danger!

The little turtle is progressing very quickly.

Under this extreme oppression, its communication with Qin Niu became increasingly smooth.

What are the dangers?

Qin Niu looked at the turbulent river, and he was secretly glad that he hadn't jumped into the river yet.

The little turtle was able to survive floods not long after it was born. Its swimming skills are actually quite good.

Now when it says there is danger, it is certainly not the fear of drowning.

The most likely possibility is that there is something in the river.

You might as well go back to the inn and ask a tour guide.

Qin Niu didn't dare to take this risk, so he returned to the town.

The innkeeper's wife didn't seem surprised at all when she saw him coming back.

Guest, please stay at our inn. I guarantee you won't regret it. For a small extra fee, someone will take you across the border through the An Channel. It's still early and you can easily be caught. Where to go? We are all professionals about the road and when to set off, you will know when the time comes.”

The woman who called herself Sister Fang welcomed him into the inn with a smile.

You haven't eaten yet? We have hot wine and hot dishes.

She seemed very happy to have a guest.

Bring me five pounds of braised beef and a jug of good wine.

Now that he has money, he can't eat to the detriment of his body.

Practitioners have a great demand for meat.

Especially the two stages of mortal realm and acquired realm.

After advancing to the Xiantian realm, the need for food began to decrease.

Based on his previous appetite, he would have to order at least ten kilograms of beef at a time.

Eating only five pounds now is considered very polite.

okay!

The woman smiled and quickly cut up a large plate of cooked beef and served it with hot sauce. The wine is also a fine wine, with a fragrant aroma. When you drink it, you will feel it is sweet and strong. Like a peerless beauty, it makes people extremely comfortable.

“How much does it cost to hire someone to guide you across the border?”

If you just take it across the river, two hundred taels of silver is enough. If you have to take it to a safe place after crossing the border, the cost will be high. It starts with at least ten taels of silver.

This woman should be the boss's wife.

There was also a male waiter in his twenties inside the store.

Can you leave today?

Of course. It's probably best to wait until the fourth watch to set off. As long as you pay the money, someone will take you there then.

The fourth watch is equivalent to one to three o'clock in the morning.

They actually chose to cross the border at this time. These people are really professional.

Because this time period is the time when people sleep the most deeply of the day. This should be done to avoid interrogation by the Nine Insect Gang soldiers.

Now that the two armies are at war, it is impossible to let people from the enemy gang enter.

Sneaking into the Nine Chong Gang's territory is the best way.

As long as you pass the border check point, you should be safe later.

“How much does this beef and wine cost?”

Sixty pieces in total.

Give!

Qin Niu threw out two broken pieces of silver.

I should have three coins.

When walking outside, your wealth will not be revealed.

There are still many people sitting in the inn at this moment. Some were eating, drinking and chatting, while others were quietly drinking tea.

Everyone is waiting.

All of them are wary of strangers and will never reveal any details easily.

It's a little more than three coins in total. I'll ask you forty coins.

The landlady was very happy after receiving the money.

No need to look for it. Give me some beef. I'll take it with me to eat on the road. The meat you have here tastes very good.

Qin Niu estimated that with forty coins, he could buy another five kilograms of braised beef.

Even though forty pennies doesn't seem like much, it's equivalent to four days' wages of an adult farmer.

Beef is much more expensive than pork, and braised beef will shrink. It only costs eight cents per pound, which is definitely a reasonable price.

The proprietress personally cut five kilograms of beef for him.

Wrap in oil paper.

Qin Niu weighed it after taking it. The weight should be more than five kilograms.

The portion given by the boss lady is very generous! I won't let you lose money, right?

Haha, this is a great trick, sir! I gave you an extra pound, so be careful.

The landlady said with a smile.

Thank you very much!

Please be patient, sir, and call me anytime if you need anything. It's still early before the fourth watch, so you can lie down on the table and sleep for a while. If you want to be more comfortable, there is an empty guest room upstairs for thirty cents a night. No matter if you stay until midnight or at dawn, you will be charged for one night.”

The price is clearly marked.

Qin Niu secretly thought that if these people sitting in the inn lobby were also stowaways, they would not be willing to spend an extra 30 yuan on the room fee and chose to rest in the lobby downstairs.

He observed secretly that there were all kinds of people, including thugs and soldiers.

Most are just regular people.

There are also two or three people with good strength, but no Xiantian realm strong ones have been found.

To sense the other party's cultivation level, usually it is more clear for those with high cultivation level to sense the lower level cultivation level.

If the other party's cultivation level is higher than your own, it is generally difficult to sense it.

They may even mistakenly think that the other person is an ordinary person.

For example, the dwarf old man he bought the map from had unfathomable strength.

Needless to say, the five ancestors of the Fang family.

After eating beef and drinking good wine, he felt very comfortable.

I didn't go upstairs to sleep in the guest room.

It was not because I wanted to save the 30 cents for the hotel room fee, but because I wanted to stay in the lobby and listen to what others were chatting about. With Xiantian realm cultivation, he can hear clearly whether others are whispering or talking in low voices.

After some inquiring, he roughly understood some basic conditions on the border.

The Nine Insect Gang's main attack direction was not here, but chose to invade from Dafeng Village on the Blackwater River.

The news that has been received so far is that the frontline soldiers of the Black Tiger Gang suffered heavy casualties.

At least more than a thousand people were killed or injured.

Also, the soldiers of the Nine Chong Gang are very cruel. If a man is caught by them, he will be treated as food for worms. If a woman is caught, if she is younger, she will be directly reduced to a female slave.

If a child is caught, the worst thing is that they will directly use them as a breeding ground for insects.

The soldiers of the Nine Chong Gang are described as heinous people. It is not known whether it is true or whether the top leaders of the Black Tiger Gang are deliberately discrediting their opponents in order to inspire people's determination to resist the enemy.

In addition to the Nine Insects Gang that has invaded the Black Tiger Gang, the Shennong Faction, which has always been neutral, has also invaded directly from the plains along the Blackwater River.

It has occupied a large area of ​​fertile land belonging to the Black Tiger Gang.

For the Shennong sect, land is their favorite.

Because they specialize in planting.

With wider land, more food can be grown and more people can be fed.

As the population base increases, the number of strong people will also increase.

Qin Niu secretly thought that those landlords who bought the land might cry.

If the land is seized by soldiers from a rival gang, it is by no means a landowner who can get it back on his own.

This also means that a large number of assets are directly cleared.

Under normal circumstances, as long as one hundred acres of fertile land is enough, the family will not have to worry about it for generations.

In addition to these two bad news, there is also another bad news. I heard that the Bailian Immortal Sect is in a period of weakness that only occurs once in a century. The Immortal Sect basically doesn't care about the wars between various gangs within its jurisdiction.

The Black Tiger Gang is one against two, and fighting alone is no match for any of the gangs.

Now that the two gangs have joined forces to destroy it, the consequences can be imagined.

Two men dressed as businessmen were talking quietly.

Boss Wen, is it safe for us to escape into the territory of the Nine Insect Gang now?

As long as you can obtain a legal identity, you will be safe. Haven't you already solved the legal identity problem? Just keep it in your heart. But when you cross the border, you must be careful of the soldiers of the Nine Insect Gang. They will If they are caught, they will rob us of all the money we have. Then our life will be difficult.

How about we spend ten taels of silver and ask someone to take us to a safe place?

Are you stupid? Who dares to guarantee safety? Besides, ten taels of silver is not a small sum of money. If you don't feel sorry for me, I still feel sorry for you!

That's true.

Anyway, we made preparations early, so we are very lucky. At least we can survive after the passage. Those who failed to obtain legal status are in misery. I heard that some landowners and wealthy businessmen sold their properties. , has taken the initiative to relocate to the plains.

Why are they doing this? They move here and there, aren't they still within the boundaries of the Black Tiger Gang?

Don't you understand this? They moved to the plain area. If the Black Tiger Gang is really wiped out, that place will become the territory of the Shennong Sect. The Shennong Sect behaves much better than the Nine Insects Gang and will not harm ordinary people. They have money anyway, so when they settle down and obtain the legal status of the Shennong sect, then they can buy land again, won’t they be able to live a comfortable life again?”

Gao, this move is really brilliant! If I had known earlier, we should have obtained the legal identity of the Shennong sect. This time we will lose a lot of money.

Posted late, sorry!
