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

Chapter 443: Chapter 435: The Most Awesome Insect Formation_1

A swarm of poison bees killed their way to the forefront in the blink of an eye, and for the first time, his Termite swarm seemed a bit at a loss facing the enemy.

The Termite swarm had always dealt with enemies by first launching Mental Attacks and Spirit Control, before engaging in close combat and melee fights.

But don’t underestimate their Mental Attack skills.

This skill could attack from a distance, causing the enemy to be defeated before even getting close.

It was a typical case of striking a fatal blow unseen.

This made the Termite swarm very effective in combat, as they could quickly secure victory against any type of insect they encountered.

For instance, they easily captured all six fleas just a moment ago.

One after another, the poison bees launched their attacks on Qin Niu.

When they attacked, they formed a high-speed spinning battle formation, like a giant flying shuttle, with the sharp point aimed at Qin Niu’s head and chest.

The termites formed Insect Armor on Qin Niu’s body, but as soon as they came into contact with the ‘flying shuttle’ formed by the poison bees, immediately a number of termites were killed or injured. More and more termites got injured or died.

The ‘Flying Shuttle Formation’ executed by the swarm of bees was incredibly formidable.

This new style of combat was something Qin Niu had never seen before.

Insects forming Insect Formations to attack was not uncommon, but to have such terrifying power after forming an Insect Formation was something he was seeing for the first time.

If you want to broaden your horizons and enhance your knowledge, you have to fight more against skilled opponents.

As more and more termites on Qin Niu’s neck and chest died or were injured and fell to the ground, the Insect Armor suffered damage, and the Qi Armor that he had condensed on the surface of his body began to directly withstand the attacks from the poison bees.

Normally, even Grade Four insects would be instantly shattered or repelled when hitting his Qi Armor.

At this moment, his Qi Armor was under extremely sharp attacks.

Each poison bee’s collision was like a series of sharp chisels striking it.

Their impact was so potent that it could penetrate the Qi Armor, leaving behind numerous tiny cracks.

“The individual strength of these poison bees clearly isn’t strong, yet when they form a battle formation, each poison bee’s combat ability compares to that of Grade Six or higher insects. This Insect Formation is truly sophisticated,” Qin Niu remarked as he observed the ‘Flying Shuttle Formation’ made up of poison bees.

He wanted to learn a bit of impressive knowledge about Insect Formations.

But he quickly realized it was futile.

Each poison bee in the high-speed swirling Insect Formation moved so rapidly that it dazzled him, leaving him without any insight.

Qin Niu’s Qi Armor had an automatic repair capability. All he needed was to continually channel his strength into the King Pig Leather Armor, allowing the cracks in the Qi Armor to be rapidly repaired.

In the short term, his Qi Armor would not be breached.

But the rate at which he expended his strength had more than doubled.

And as the damaged area of the Insect Armor increased, the range of attacks his Qi Armor had to withstand also expanded, causing his rate of strength depletion to rapidly increase as well.

If he couldn’t find a way to break the bee swarm’s attack formation in a short period, he would find himself in jeopardy.

“Wu Shanle, stop showing off your ferocity!”

Master He Shan was quite honorable; seeing that Qin Niu was in trouble, he immediately lent a hand.

Actually, his own situation wasn’t great either.

He had to fend off a massive number of buffalo midges and over a hundred poison midges, and his mantises were not performing well. Occasionally, some midges would bypass the mantises’ defense and attack Master He Shan directly.

Fortunately, Master He Shan was at the pinnacle of the Innate Realm, and he was barely able to form a thin layer of Qi as defense on his body.

Strong practitioners of the Innate Realm, even at the pinnacle, cannot form Qi Armor on their body without special armor.

Because Qi Armor defense is actually a defensive method for practitioners at the Spirit Qi Realm.

Master He Shan dispatched some mantises to attack the swarm of poison bees.

But as soon as his mantises came into contact with the swarm of poison bees, they were like being sent into a meat grinder.

No matter how many went in, that was exactly how many died.

They didn’t make any impact on the swarm of bees’ Flying Shuttle Formation at all.

“What formidable poison bees! Their strength is quite comparable to that of demon-level insects,” he exclaimed.

Master He Shan’s complexion changed drastically as he now realized the terrifying extent of the attack Qin Niu was enduring.

“Brother Li, come over and give Qin Niu a hand, there’s a demonic insect-level attack here.”

Seeing the situation turning dire, Master He Shan worried for Qin Niu’s safety and immediately sought assistance from Chairman Li.

Chairman Li himself was not faring any better at the moment.

He and his subordinates, the Insect Masters, were struggling to withstand the enemy’s insect swarm attack, completely at a disadvantage.

In insect warfare, a single elder from the Nine Insect Gang could easily rout the Insect Masters of the Black Tiger Gang, leaving them crying for their fathers and mothers.

The real strength of the Black Tiger Gang lies in its beast pets.

However, those experts’ beast pets seemed somewhat ineffective when facing the swarms of insects.

How to put it?

It’s like a mighty lion, extremely powerful, but stymied by a single mosquito.

The true picture of a fight between beast pets and insect pets is like punching cotton.

“Isn’t it just a swarm of poison bees? What demonic insect is there?”

Chairman Li took a moment to glance over, frowning slightly.

Demonic insects are extremely rare.

Across the entire Nine Insect Gang, so far only the Nine Insects Gang Leader has revealed one demonic insect.

“You all go help Qin Niu! Wu Shanle is one of the two weakest elders in terms of cultivation within the Nine Insect Gang. You can try to attack his real body instead of engaging in insect warfare with him blindly.”

Chairman Li placed great importance on Qin Niu and eventually dispatched two quite capable Insect Masters to support him.

Faced with the bee swarm’s attack, Qin Niu was naturally not going to sit by and wait for death.

Seeing that the termites were no match for the swarm, he quickly drew the Ink Blade from his back and slashed at the swarm.

There were no other fancy moves, just a slashing martial skill.

A simple and unadorned strike.

Bang!

The Ink Blade, carrying the might of thunder, struck the bee swarm hard.

But the entire swarm behaved like a master helmsman steering with the wind; as the Ink Blade descended, they swiftly dodged. The bees in flight were extraordinarily agile.

Qin Niu’s strike was futile, and he raised his arm for another sweeping strike.

This was a group killing martial skill.

Still, it had little effect.

At that moment, he realized that this bee swarm was no ordinary one.

He wondered if he should release the Green Demon Bee to combat them?

But the risk was considerable.

Although the Green Demon Bee had recently advanced to Grade Eight, being powerful, this swarm of poison bees was exceedingly strange. If anything happened to the Green Demon Bee, the loss would be too great.

If only the Green Demon Bee’s young had successfully completed their transformation.

Then he could have sent the Green Demon Bee’s young into battle.

If anything went wrong, as long as the Queen Bee was still alive, a new batch of Green Demon Bees could be quickly bred.

“Wart Toad, stop being a spectator!”

Qin Niu decided to let the Red-eyed Golden Toad have a try.

The Golden Toad naturally had an advantage over most insect types, and now as a Grade Eight beast pet, its defense capabilities were also exceptionally outstanding, and being immune to all venom, it seemed like a good idea to let it tackle this swarm of poison bees.

“Croak!”

The Red-eyed Golden Toad, a distinguished creature between heaven and earth, was only called Wart Toad by Qin Niu.

If anyone else dared to call it that, they would probably be immediately swallowed whole.
