Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Chapter 81 Insect catching skills upgraded



By the same token, feeding termites that have been fed with banyan tree blood should be ineffective if fed with banyan tree blood.

Thinking of this, he was secretly glad that the cultivation of Lao Si, Strong Soldier Ant, Strong Worker Ant, and Poison Soldier Ant were not too conservative. If they are only fed one-tenth of the safe dose and evolve very little, they will miss an opportunity to advance.

For example, the blast worker ants are basically equivalent to semi-evolved products.

Also, it is probably not advisable to feed the blood of the Thousand-Eyed Tree first.

Although the blood of the 'Thousand Eyes Tree' is also very good, it is obviously weaker than the blood of the ancient banyan tree.

None of the termites that had eaten the blood of the Thousand-Eyed Tree had successfully advanced, but they only had the ability to attack from a distance.

The stronger their bodies become, the more energy they need to advance after drinking the blood of the banyan tree.

The risk of body explosion will increase significantly.

Regardless of the fact that the four puppet worker ants and ghost soldier ants fed with banyan tree blood did not die, it was probably because the safe dose fed to them was far from the huge energy required for advancement compared to their powerful bodies.

This also means that what is cultivated will be a ‘semi-evolved product’.

Qin Niu slowly sorted out these profound insect breeding experiences.

Not to mention the whole world, at least within the scope of Black Tiger City, he is probably the only person who has the opportunity to obtain the blood of the banyan tree.

As his cultivation level continued to improve, the termites became stronger and stronger, and he became more curious about the ancient banyan tree.

With its terrifying strength, it is definitely not an unknown person.

But it is like a thousand-year-old turtle, living quietly deep in the mountains without anyone knowing about it.

Every human and animal that knew it was special has disappeared.

Once you enter, you will almost certainly die if you cannot escape.

That ancient banyan tree is really a treasure. If I have the ability to come and go freely, I can use it as a private treasure house.

After Qin Niu waited for the fourth child to adapt to his current powerful body, he planned to take him into the ancient banyan tree to study the characteristics of the ancient banyan tree in more depth.

After checking the ant colony, he took the calf to the old pine tree next to the ancient banyan tree.

The queen bee has been laying her eggs for a few days and is looking forward to them hatching soon.

At that time, Qin Niu will be able to use the blood of the banyan tree and the blood of the 'Thousand Eyes Tree' to cultivate special bee species.

When the Green Devil first cultivated the Green Devil Bee, it was done step by step.

Qin Niu has a much greater advantage than the Green Devil.

Having banyan tree blood is equivalent to stepping on the shoulders of giants.

As for the blood of the 'Thousand Eyes Tree', its effect is far less powerful than the blood of the ancient banyan tree. It can only add icing on the cake, but it cannot bring about a qualitative breakthrough.

Only treasures that can help insects advance directly are rare treasures.

The calf followed him, wandering about all the way.

It is true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers and treats the mountains as its back garden.

As long as it doesn't run far, Qin Niu will follow its temper.

People will always be naive if they don't go through hardships.

The same goes for pet animals. Only those who have seen the cruelty of the outside world and been beaten severely can they be afraid.

When he came to the pine tree, he unexpectedly found many bee corpses falling under the tree.

The lifespan of worker bees is only a few months, and it is normal for them to die.

But there were so many corpses under the tree that Qin Niu immediately became alert.

Although he had never kept bees, the massive death of bees made him understand that something must have attacked the bee colony.

Although he cannot direct these worker bees produced by the previous generation of queen bees.

But it also belongs to his private property!

Now that there is a creature that dares to invade his colony, it must be found out.

Although the bee colony is very large now, if the problem is not found in time, the entire bee colony will easily perish.

Queen Bee, what happened?

Qin Niu communicates directly with the queen bee.

We were attacked by three wasps and one escaped.

The queen bee looked a little scared.

Wasps are one of the natural enemies of bees. A few dozen wasps can kill an entire bee colony.

After they break through the defenses of the hive, they will enter the hive and steal the pupae, eggs, and honey, and then take them back to feed their own entire colony.

Beekeepers think bumblebees are bandits.

It is almost impossible for one or two wasps to break into a hive.

Because although bees cannot defeat wasps, they are very united and are not afraid of death. A large number of honey bee workers will wrap up the invading wasp inside, and then vigorously flap their wings to increase their body temperature.

It can raise the temperature to over 41 degrees in a short period of time.

The bumblebees wrapped inside will eventually be cooked alive.

This is how bees have evolved to defend themselves against enemies.

Now a bumblebee has escaped and it's going to be very troublesome.

That hornet must have left pheromones in the bee hive, and a large number of hornets will arrive by then. A single hornet can kill thirty or forty bees in just one minute.

A swarm of hornets can easily kill an entire hive of bees in a matter of hours.

Qin Niu's insect-catching skills are currently proficient and are on the verge of upgrading.

As long as he can advance to a small level of success, he will be able to deal with Bumblebee.

You can catch bumblebees now, but you can't kill them all.

The insect catching skill is still a bit weak.

Before Bumblebee's legion arrived, Qin Niu decided to quickly find a way to make up for his shortcomings.

Immediately began to catch all kinds of bugs in the mountain forest.

In fact, catching the golden cicada yesterday had already helped him increase his proficiency in catching insects.

It's just a little bit closer at the moment.

He found an empty spider web under a tree. After careful observation, he determined that the owner of the spider web was still alive. I squatted on the ground and took a closer look, and sure enough I found some fresh black fine dots of spider droppings.

Judging from the thickness of the spider silk and the size of the spider excrement, this is a relatively large spider.

Since his ability to identify insect traces is currently only at the proficiency level, he cannot yet determine the type of spider based on spider webs and spider droppings.

After some searching, he soon discovered a large spider hiding under a horizontal branch.

Just a common wild smiley spider.

There are black and red patterns on its back, which look like a human smiling face.

The smiley spider was relatively bright in color. Even though it was lying on a vibrant green branch, Qin Niu found it at a glance.

He took out the small jar, clamped the smiling spider directly with a homemade long-handled wooden clamp, and shut it in.

Termites have now evolved to be very powerful. You can feed them some live animals appropriately, which can not only help the queen enhance various attributes, but also have a training effect on the entire ant colony.

Capturing this smiling spider will increase Qin Niu's insect catching skills by +0.01, identification of insect traces by +0.01, and insect identification by +0.01.

It's pretty good.

Currently, I have only learned these types of insect control skills, and they are all understood by myself.

When he has money, he can buy some insect control techniques to learn.

You can even become a disciple of some powerful insect masters.

But the apprenticeship fee alone is extremely terrifying.

The more powerful the insect master, the stricter the standards for accepting disciples. You don't have to have money to be named.

What he can do now is seize various opportunities and strive to quickly complete the early accumulation.

In the mountain forest, he caught insects one after another.

The proficiency of insect catching skills is increasing rapidly.

When he caught the thirty-first bug, the long-awaited prompt came.

[Congratulations on your improved insect catching skills. You can make various advanced insect catching tools to catch bugs, and you can set up baits and traps to catch all kinds of bugs. 】

Although there is very little text introduction, his insect catching skills have been qualitatively improved.

In the past, various insect-catching tools could be made, but they could only deal with ordinary insects. Now that you can make all kinds of advanced insect-catching tools, you have the ability to capture some more powerful bugs.

Even fleas are extremely small and extremely agile insects.

Or some bugs that are good at flying and running fast.

Take the tiger beetle, for example, as it escapes so fast that ordinary insect-catching nets or other tools cannot catch it.

But if you can make advanced tools, you can catch it.

Also, setting baits and traps is even more awesome.

Already have the ability to catch some extremely rare bugs with special abilities.

Some bugs are extremely vigilant. When they find humans or other large animals nearby, they will lurk in tree holes, soil, or water without showing up.

Naturally, it is difficult to catch them.

Even if it is discovered, as soon as a person approaches it, it may be two or three meters away, or even farther away, it will immediately run away.

It is extremely difficult to catch them.

But no matter how cunning a bug is, it cannot defeat a clever hunter.

As long as you know how to set bait and set traps, you will have a chance to catch them.

If you catch one, you might be able to sell it for a few taels of silver.

Qin Niu felt his new insect-catching skills. It would not be difficult to deal with the wasps this time.

He used rattan, branches and other materials to make a simple insect-catching net bag on site.

It is also an insect-catching net bag, which is obviously much more advanced than the ones made before.

Improvements have been made in many places.

For example, the length and thickness of the handle can be adjusted to achieve both flexibility and strength.

The capture distance is also just right.

The previously made insect catching nets either had long handles and were inflexible in operation. Or the handle is too short and out of reach, and you can only watch the bug escape.

The handle of the current net bag is tailor-made for him, and the length is just right.

Can catch most bugs.

Wasps are good at flying. If the handle is too short, they can only look anxious.

There is also a lot of emphasis on the net-catching part of the net bag.

The thickness of the holes, the degree of firmness, and how to lock the exit after catching the bug inside to prevent it from escaping.

Also, taking out the bugs after catching them also needs to be considered.

An advanced insect catching tool must cover all aspects.

Qin Niu didn't sit down to rest after he got this insect-catching net bag. Instead, he removed a thin thread from his clothes, and then looked for a suitable yellow leaf, a very light one.

Bind well.

Waiting patiently for the wasps to come again.

When wasp scouts discover a bee hive, they find ways to leave a scent of pheromone. Because this special mark cannot be preserved for too long, it will become weaker and weaker as time goes by.

They will eventually have a hard time finding the marker.

Therefore, Qin Niu speculated that the wasps would return soon.

Only by destroying them can the hive of bees be truly safe.
