Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Chapter 191 Katydid
"Have locusts evolved?"

Qin Niu frowned slightly.

After unexpectedly discovering Mr. Huang's true identity, he had noticed from various signs that the Nine Insects Gang was probably behind it.

If these locusts were really caused by the Nine Insect Gang, he, a low-level insect master, must not be too conspicuous.

Gun hit the bird.

The heroes who dance the most happily die early.

All we can do now is play it by ear.

After arriving at the Yan family, the eldest son of the Yan family personally went downstairs to greet him.

This also shows that Qin Niu's status is higher than before.

In the end, it's all about benefits.

The Yan family now needs insect masters to help fight against the terrible locust plague.When Qin Niu helped the Yan family clean up pests, he showed a strong ability to exterminate pests, even surpassing Master Mo and Master Shi. Naturally, the Yan family paid great attention to him.

"Master Qin, I've been waiting for you to come. Just this morning, a new species suddenly appeared among the locusts. Well, I even caught two of them and came back to study them."

When Master Mo Sang saw Qin Niu, he immediately stood up to greet him.

The arrogance of the past is long gone.

"Are there many new species of locusts?"

"Not many. But their abilities are very powerful, and they are not afraid of the multiple lines of defense I have set up. Under their leadership, those ordinary locusts have the ability to break through the defense lines. Although only fifty or sixty of these dark golden locusts were found today. , locusts with black spots on their heads, but they almost broke down my defense line."

Master Mo still has lingering fears when talking about what happened during the day.

"Fortunately, I still have some tricks to keep the bottom of the situation, otherwise I would definitely have lost today."

Every insect master will have some methods to suppress the bottom of the box.

Being able to force Master Mo to use his trump card is enough to show that these locusts are very powerful.

It is one size larger than an ordinary locust, and its body is dark golden in color. Its two hind legs are not thick, but appear slender and long.

Kind of like katydid legs.

In terms of combat effectiveness, locusts are one of the poorest species in the order Orthoptera.

In addition to its strong endurance and acceptable defense, its only remaining capability is its reproductive ability.

Katydids are mostly loners.

Locusts like to move in groups. Whether they are desert locusts, singing locusts, or smaller warty locusts, they all like to move in groups.

When their group grows to a certain level, it will be overwhelming that night, which is more terrifying than the enemy entering the village.

The katydid is also an orthopteran insect. How strong is its combat effectiveness?
Known as the 'Great Swordsman', the mantis is almost invincible in the insect world.

Even powerful insects such as centipedes and scorpions are within the diet of the mantis.

The mantis is so fierce that it can even kill the 'husband' lying on its back.

Occasionally someone will find a smaller mantis lying on the back of another female mantis.But the head of the male praying mantis was gone.

This scene often makes people feel numb when watching it.

But even such a ruthless character would sometimes miss when hunting katydids and be killed directly.

In addition, katydids can sometimes kill ruthless characters such as spiders and bumblebees.

It's hard to imagine that the katydid's weak and thin body can actually explode with terrifying fighting power.

Some insect masters believe that katydids have inherited the fighting talent of crickets and are much larger than crickets.

This is why they can defeat powerful enemies.

Qin Niu picked up the cage containing the locusts and looked at it carefully.

"This should be a new species hybridized between locusts and katydids. Their combat effectiveness is far superior to ordinary locusts, and their flying ability should also be very strong. At the same time, they also have strong singing skills."

After seeing it, Qin Niu made a preliminary identification of this new species of locust.

"Yes, yes, they charge like fierce generals on the battlefield. Not only do they take the lead in charging, they also make a sharp and high-pitched cry. After hearing this, other locusts will charge with it. One by one, they are not brave enough. He is afraid of death, and his combat power is much stronger than normal."

Master Mo nodded in agreement.

"The line of defense I am guarding has not encountered this new locust yet. If we encounter it, I may not be able to hold it."

Master Shi is much weaker than Master Mo.

Speaking of this new locust, Master Shi is no longer interested in having fun with his maid today.

It was replaced by a touch of sadness.

If his line of defense is breached, his good days of being popular in the Yan family will be over.

"Master Qin, I'm afraid I have to ask you to think of a solution to this matter."

The eldest son of the Yan family saw that the two insect masters invited from the city were already unable to withstand it, so he could only place his hope on Qin Niu.

"Disaster!"

Qin Niu shook his head and sighed.

Of course, this is fake.

With Qin Niu's current strength, let alone insects of this level, even if they were stronger, he could handle them.

After all, even Mr. Huang's Corpse Bee was so powerful that he captured it.

"Master Qin only said that it is difficult, but did not say that it cannot be dealt with. That means there is a way. I also know that if Master Qin is allowed to deal with such a powerful insect, the hard work and expenses will definitely not be calculated according to the previous standards. As long as Master Qin agrees, the price can be easily negotiated. .”

The eldest son of the Yan family is also a good person. When he heard that there was room for negotiation, he immediately expressed his willingness to pay more money.

"Hmm... This kind of locust has a strong combat power and can also make a screaming sound to attack, which is very difficult. If I am not careful, my insects may be killed by them and cause heavy casualties. This kind of loss is very important to us insect masters. Words are almost fatal.”

Qin Niu never mentioned the price.Just say how difficult it is.

If the latter understands taste, he will definitely give a price that makes Qin Niu's heart beat.

"I understand Master Qin's difficulty! Well, let's set up another line of defense in front of Master Mo's. You don't have to worry about ordinary locusts. As long as you deal with this special kind of locusts, my Yan family will pay ten cents for each one killed. "

The price is already quite high.

According to the current situation, one hundred special locusts appear every day. If Qin Niu captures them all, the Yan family will have to pay one thousand coins.

That is one tael of silver.

The Yan family is very shrewd.

With Qin Niu's efforts, all the pests have been cleared from the hundreds of acres of land behind.

As for some scattered locusts that crossed the border and entered his family's crop fields, they could no longer pose any harm.

As long as Qin Niu is at the forefront to guard the special locusts, and Master Mo and Master Shi are behind to defend the second line of defense, everything will be safe.

"This……"

Qin Niu was considering the risks.

The main reason is that he is afraid of being targeted by the masters of the Nine Insect Gang.

"If Master Qin still feels that it is less, I can add another penny and kill one of them, and my Yan family will pay eleven pence."

The eldest son of the Yan family gritted his teeth and raised the price again.

"It's not necessary. I've known the Yan family for more than a day or two. To add insult to injury and raise the price, I can't do this kind of thing. The price Young Master Yan said is ten cents each. I can only give it a try. , if you can’t keep it, then you will have no choice but to hire someone else.”

Qin Niu agreed.

It is also a good thing to take this opportunity to train troops.

Calculating the time, the first batch of thousands of ant eggs laid by the queen should turn into adults in just two days.

Thereafter, a thousand termites can be added every day.

It would be a waste not to take advantage of this opportunity to make money with such a powerful combat force.

Taking this job has another profound meaning.

If someone from the Nine Chong Gang were to target him and see that he was willing to work for the Yan family in order to earn a few taels of silver a day, they would not suspect him of killing Mr. Huang.

"I know that Master Qin is a man of loyalty. I offer you this glass of wine. If Master Qin encounters any difficulties in the future, as long as I, the Yan family, can do my best, I will never sit idly by."

When the eldest son of the Yan family heard that Qin Niu had agreed and that there was no need to increase the price, he couldn't help but raise his glass happily.

"Since I am asked to guard the front line, then this line must be determined by me. We also need to mobilize some strong labor from the Yan family to build a new line of defense in accordance with my requirements as quickly as possible."

"This is no problem at all. After dinner, I will accompany Master Qin to the front line. Just tell me your requirements and hire people to build a defense line overnight."

Master Yan readily agreed.

After finishing the banquet, Qin Niu, accompanied by the eldest son of the Yan family, Butler Yan Qi and others, headed to the front line.

"Let's build a defense line in front of this pond! About ten meters is enough."

Qin Niu stated his general requirements.

"Please, Master Yan, please send someone to build a thatched house here. I can stay here at night. Even if I am not here during the day, I will let my bugs stay here. So don't enter this line of defense to avoid being attacked by me." Insects accidentally injured."

Locusts are afraid of water. There is a pond behind them, which can effectively force the locusts to stop on the shore and then take off again across the pond.

Because the distance locusts can fly at one time is not very far.

When they fly more than ten meters or a few meters away, they need to stop and rest before taking off again.

"No problem! I'll arrange for crews to build it overnight."

Master Yan asked Butler Yan Qi to gather troops to build a new line of defense on the spot.

Qin Niu stayed in place to observe the terrain and the situation of the locusts.

In this short period of time, even though it was already dusk, locusts could still be seen migrating in twos and threes from a distance.They are very smart, either bypassing the pond and passing on both sides.

Those who are stronger can either take off directly from the shore and cross over the pond.

"Jeep!"

The screeching sound of insects could be heard in the distance.

Large swarms of locusts, numbering at least two to three hundred, range from far to near.

Qin Niu saw a special locust caught by Master Mo and led the way.

It kept vibrating its membrane wings and made a shrill scream, followed by a large number of locusts flying behind it.

This special locust is like a fierce general on the battlefield, leading a group of soldiers to charge, and its momentum is extremely amazing.

No wonder Master Mo said that the number of these locusts is not large, but they are very scary.

"Fourth, can you take care of it?"

"can."

The fourth child's answer seemed extremely relaxed and casual.

I saw its horn pointed at the insect, without even using the power of the ant colony.As soon as that special locust entered its mental attack range, its body trembled and then stopped.

In front of the fourth child, it had no power to fight back at all and was directly controlled.

"come in!"

Qin Niu took out a bug jar, and the special locust flew in automatically.
