Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Chapter 417 A unique attack method

Their body shape is somewhat like a wasp, with a long abdomen and a pointed abdominal tail.

But its wings are barely visible.

In fact, their wings are a pair of short and thick elytra, which look more like two pieces of armor. When they need to fly, their retracted wings quickly extend from under the elytra and then unfold.

Another characteristic of the cryptid is that its larvae are wingless, and only adults have wings that can fly.

This is similar to ducks.

Ducklings have downy feathers, which prevents them from flying when they are young.

Qin Niu found that these cryptopterous insects were basically second-level insects, with only a few reaching the third level. They don't have stingers, which means they can't sting like wasps.

Common cryptids do not have venom glands on their bodies.

The abdomens of these cryptopterous insects have clearly evolved venom glands.

Qin Niu was curious about their attack methods.

With only venom glands, if there are no fangs or poisonous needles, there is still no way to inject venom into the enemy's body.

It can be determined that these hidden winged insects do not have poisonous needles, whether they are level two or level three, it is the same.

Since they have evolved poison glands, it stands to reason that they will also evolve corresponding attack organs.

For example, they can evolve venom glands on their heads, connected to their mouthparts.

After biting the enemy, it can quickly output the venom through its fangs or mouthparts.

It evolved the poison glands into the abdomen, which defies normal logic.

There's no way there's another tube connecting to the mouthparts, right?
If the distance is too long, the venom attack will be delayed. Even if there is only a delay of one second, the enemy may escape.

This greatly reduces the success rate of their venom attacks.

Qin Niu used a homemade wooden tweezers to hold a cryptid insect and observed it carefully, constantly teasing it so that it could use its attack methods.

At this time, he obviously noticed a change in the angry cryptid.

There is a noticeable bulge in its abdomen.

puff!
Some clear liquid spurts out from its ventral tail.

Qin Niu was so frightened that he hurried away.

The liquid falls on the weed leaves on the ground.

The leaves of the weeds seemed to have been burned by fire. Spots appeared immediately, turning yellow and finally black at a speed that was almost noticeable to the naked eye.

What the Hidden Pterus just sprayed out from its tail was actually venom.

This move is very similar to the attack method learned from the dart frog. When a dart frog is attacked by a strong enemy, it will spray a stream of urine from its tail to attack the enemy. This urine is highly toxic, and if it touches the eyes, it will cause unbearable pain and even blindness.

If eaten into the mouth, poisoning symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, and dizziness will also occur.

If it falls on the skin, if it cannot be cleaned quickly, it will corrode the skin and then penetrate into the blood, causing poisoning.

Primitive people knew that the venom of dart frogs was very powerful, so they specially took their venom and applied it to the arrowheads.

Or directly dip a thin needle in the venom to quench the poison.

Or rub it onto the tip of a spear.

Even if it is a lion or an elephant, it will be bad luck.

It was difficult for primitive people to hunt elephants because of their backward weapons. But since discovering frog poison and applying it to weapons, primitive people have become almost invincible in the jungle.

Even elephants weighing several tons can be hunted by them.

The venom attack method of these cryptopterous insects is surprisingly similar to that of dart frogs, but their venom is more violent.

Qin Niu specially tested the venom of two kinds of cryptopterous insects.

The venom of the cryptids before they entered the valley was obviously much weaker. The venom of the hidden winged insects that flew out after entering the valley was more than three times more powerful. If this sprayed onto the soldiers of the Black Tiger Gang, it would probably be extremely painful for even a strong person in the Xiantian realm if he got a little bit of it.

Even if warriors in the acquired realm and mortal realm are infected, they will lose their combat effectiveness in a very short period of time even if they do not die.

"There are probably more than 100 million hidden winged insects entering the valley. They absorbed the poisonous miasma in the valley, and then re-condensed into insect clouds and flew back to the battlefield to deal with the soldiers of the Black Tiger Gang. At that time, a wave of poisonous rain will directly hit the air, I'm afraid that the Black Tiger Gang's army will be defeated in an instant."

After Qin Niu guessed the enemy's intention, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

There are many experts in the Nine Insect Gang, and their ability to control insects is not only unparalleled in the world, but they are definitely outstanding within the territory of Bailian Immortal Sect.

The last attack on the beetles was also a big one, with at least tens of millions of them, directly forming a terrifying army of beetles.

Since the Lacha crawls on the ground, its speed is limited to a certain extent.

The attack range is also very limited.

These hidden winged insects can fly, and their flying ability is not weak, and they can spray venom. They can launch venom attacks without touching the enemy at all. For the soldiers of the Black Tiger Gang, it is simply a nightmare.

"Just in time, let my army of termites take this opportunity to have a feast."

There are nearly 30,000 poisonous ants in Qin Niu's termite army.

It can be said that most termites that hatch out later have poison needles and poison glands. On average, three out of ten animals have venom attack capabilities.

And their venom is highly toxic.

Because there was a terrible poisonous miasma in the valley, Qin Niu initially sent only ten poisonous ants into the valley to test it.

When they first came into contact with the poisonous miasma, they had obvious poisoning reactions.

But it didn't take long for things to return to normal.

And their venom seems to be enhanced. This made Qin Niu very satisfied, and his worries were relieved.

Without any further hesitation, he directly sent all the poisonous ants into the valley.

There is only one task assigned to them, and that is to kill those hidden winged insects.

After releasing all the poisonous ants, he tried to release a few worker ants and soldier ants into the valley.

Four worker ants were poisoned to death.

Only one of the five soldier ants escaped. However, it was already in a state of staggering, even walking unsteadily, as if it was drunk.

Not long after, the only soldier ant to escape died.

The power of poisonous miasma is quite terrifying.

You know, Qinniu's termites are not only invulnerable to all poisons, but at least they have strong poison resistance.

They eat venomous snakes, centipedes, and spiders, and never show symptoms of poisoning.

Now the poisonous miasma in this valley can directly poison them to death. The Valley of Wrongful Souls is truly a dangerous place.

The nearly 30,000 poisonous ants released by Qin Niu have stronger poison resistance, and they can resist poisonous miasma like these hidden winged insects.

After entering the valley, they had already launched a merciless massacre on the crypto-winged insects.

Their actual number is approximately 28,500.

This is the wealth that Qin Niu has accumulated for so long.

Almost all poisonous ants are here.

Only a few are left in the ant nest to defend the safety of the ant nest.

Some of these poisonous ants are level three, some are level four, and a small number are early stage two poisonous ants.

Those hidden winged insects were like chickens and ducks in front of them, allowing them to slaughter them at will. The Hidden Winged Insects have almost no power to fight back in front of them.
