Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Chapter 497 Exploring the Valley

He was obviously making some small calculations.

The special fruit tree in the valley has a certain value. He was the first to discover it and picked it for many years. Now that he is giving it to Qin Niu, he may feel a little disadvantaged.

But his small arms couldn't hold his thighs. His strength and status were far inferior to Qin Niu, so he didn't dare to refuse openly.

We can only use some careful thinking to save the fruit tree as much as possible in this way.

"I'm very touched that you have such a heart. You only have the first level of cultivation as a mortal, and you go into the valley every year to pick the wild fruits. If you are discovered by the scorpion demon, can you escape?" Qin Niu stared at him and asked. .

"As long as you are careful, it shouldn't be discovered. I have sneaked into the valley no less than ten times over the years, and it has never been discovered by it."

Liu Shengli's mind was flexible and he should have thought of some ways to avoid the scorpion demon.

"That fruit should be of some benefit to the scorpion demon. It's not easy for you to successfully pick the fruit under its nose for ten consecutive years and leave safely. Can you tell me your method?"

Qin Niu came here just for the scorpion demon this time.

Let's first find out some of the scorpion demon's habits from Liu Shengli, and then we will be more confident.

Today, he wants the scorpion demon, and he also wants the wild fruit.

The strong have the power to take whatever they want.

There is no reason to give up these important cultivation resources to Liu Shengli, an ordinary farmer.

"Don't worry, I didn't take advantage of you in vain. If the method you mentioned is of some use to me, these two taels of silver will be yours."

Qin Niu took out two taels of silver.

Liu Shengli's eyes lit up instantly. After glancing at the money, he looked away and said to Qin Niu with a smile, "I should tell you everything Mr. Qin wants to know. There is no need to reward money. It is my honor to serve you.”

He found that Qin Niu didn't like hearing these polite words. There was a trace of impatience on his face and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

"It's easy to say. I tied a rope directly above the valley and slid down. After picking the fruits, I climbed up along the rope before the scorpion spirit came. There is also a little trick. Every time I pick wild fruits, I just Pick a small portion. In this way, the scorpion spirit will not be too angry even if it finds that there are less wild fruits. Another rule is that the scorpion spirit will be less active on rainy days.

On sunny days, it is more active in the valley.

I have secretly observed many times that as long as it is sunny, the yellow mist in the valley will move around. If it is a rainy day, especially a thunderstorm, there will be no trace of yellow fog at all. It is estimated that it is afraid of thunder and lightning, so it hides in the hole and does not come out. "

Liu Shengli shared all his years of experience.

Who would have thought that an ordinary farmer could understand the activities of the scorpion demon so clearly?
After Qin Niu heard this, he was not stingy and threw the two taels of silver directly over.

"Not bad! Just rely on your brains and work hard, and I will promote you to be a steward of my Qin family. If you perform well and are loyal enough, it is not impossible for you to be the steward of my Qin family in the future."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for the generous reward! Don't worry, if you point to the east, I will never attack the west. I will do my best."

Liu Shengli hurriedly caught the thrown silver, beaming with joy.

He even expressed his loyalty to Qin Niu on the spot.

Qin Niu nodded and said nothing more.

More than an hour later, Liu Shengli led Qin Niu to the top of the valley.

Standing on the mountain and looking into the valley, the trees are lush and green, and nothing unusual can be seen.

It's just that this valley is a bit long and narrow, extending deep into the mountain, winding and twisting, and its end can't be seen at all.

The entrance to the valley is relatively spacious.

If you didn't know the details, no one would have thought that there was a scorpion spirit hiding in the valley.

It is entrenched in this mountain area. If a human accidentally breaks into its territory, it will most likely be eaten. However, after Liu Tieniu was discovered by the scorpion spirit, he was only stung instead of being dragged into the valley and eaten. This is very intriguing.

Most wild animals need to worry about food.

There are only three things they need to solve, one is to eat and drink, the other is to solve the breeding problem, and the third is to avoid being discovered by enemies.

Therefore, after wild animals find food, even if they cannot finish it on the spot, they will find a way to drag the food back to their residence and hide it. Waiting for the next meal before eating.

For example, ants will move food into their caves, and cheetahs will hang leftover food on trees.

Why didn't Scorpion drag Liu Tieniu into the valley at that time?
After figuring out this problem, Qin Niu might be able to know the wisdom or habits of this scorpion spirit.

"Master Qin, in previous years I would tie a rope and hang down from here, and then slide along the rope into the valley. Today's weather is bright and clear, which is when the scorpion spirit is active. You must think twice before going down!"

Liu Shengli has now been initially tied to Qin Niu's profit warship.

In addition to working as a long-term worker for Qin Niu and earning a fairly considerable fixed income, Qin Niu promised to make him the steward of the Qin Mansion if he worked well in the future.

With interests tied up, he naturally didn't want anything to happen to Qin Niu.

"It's okay, just go back! I'll be careful."

Qin Niu was worried about fighting the scorpion demon. If he lost, he would not be able to protect Liu Shengli.

He had a wife and children to support. If something happened, Qin Niu wouldn't be able to explain it to his family.

"Then be careful!"

Liu Shengli didn't hesitate this time. After helping Qin Niu tie the rope, he ran away with a hatchet in hand.

Qin Niu stood above the valley and observed the situation in the valley. He did not see the yellow mist yet.

He decided to first release some green-ringed worker bees into the valley to investigate the situation.

"go with!"

After patting the insect bag, hundreds of green-ringed worker bees immediately flew out and flew straight into the valley.

After entering the valley, they spread out and looked around to explore the situation.

Sure enough, as Liu Shengli said, it is difficult to find even a spider in the valley.

The green-ringed worker bees spent most of the day exploring the valley, but still couldn't find the scorpion spirit. Qin Niu secretly thought about how to capture the scorpion spirit.

The valley is the territory of the scorpion spirit. Not only is it familiar with the terrain, but it may also have other geographical advantages.

If it finds that it can't defeat Qin Niu and hides in a cave, it will be difficult to catch it again.

For more than four months, Qin Niu has been focusing on cultivating several most important insect pets such as termite queen, green threadworm, green devil bee, and mirage. Other insect pets are also cultivated, but with much less effort and resources allocated to them.

The queen ant is Qin Niu's first insect pet and the one with whom he has the deepest affection.

No insect pet can replace that special bond.

Even the fourth child cannot be replaced.

At that time, Qin Niu was in an extremely difficult stage. Without the queen ant, he would not be where he is today.

Even though he is now successful and famous, lying in bed in the dead of night, he will still always remember the madness of his desperate attempt.

The further the queen gets to the back, the more difficult it is to upgrade.
