Pulling the rope, the pre-arranged trap was activated simultaneously.

He couldn’t create complex devices, just a simple hunting device.

A large net was flung over from behind towards Old Master Huang, while a bamboo-woven cage from underground opened, releasing a swarm of yellow bees.

Old Master Huang instinctively dodged backward, a series of rolls showcasing his impressive agility.

In his hand, the Serpent-shaped Sword was slashing out an impenetrable screen of blades.

Qin Niu watched in secret with a sense of trepidation.

He had thought to overpower the other with his cultivation and martial skills, but now it appeared that not only were the insects powerful, but the mastery and martial skills of the man himself were also daunting.

Such a formidable enemy was truly a nightmarish existence.

The Insect Jar containing the three bee generals had been swiftly pulled from the ground by Qin Niu, quickly brought into his hands.

Many of the large yellow bees that had flown out were slashed into fragments by Old Master Huang, while some, when they got about a meter close to him, seemed to encounter something terrifying and rapidly fled.

Meanwhile, the large net arranged by Qin Niu had some effect.

The net didn’t catch the person, but it unexpectedly trapped forty or fifty Corpse Bees.

But this ordinary fishing net couldn’t pose any threat to them. With their powerful mandibles, they easily bit holes in the net and then wriggled out.

“Kill him!”

Old Master Huang saw Qin Niu appear, hiding at a position only eight or nine meters away from where the bee generals were hidden, and he secretly admired Qin Niu’s guts.

However, he didn’t show any mercy, immediately commanding the Corpse Bees to attack Qin Niu.

“I’ll take care of these three bee generals foryou!” ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Qin Niu ran swiftly, while also not forgetting to hit Old Master Huang’s weak spot. freeweɓnøvel.com

Only when the enemy is panicked might they make a mistake.

“Fourth, immediately lead the Termite Army to take control of the bee generals in this jar.”

He knew very well that a human couldn’t outrun the flying Corpse Bees.

He would soon be caught up to.

Before that happened, he needed to kill a bee general.

The bee general currently laying eggs was saved for last.

Now, killing one first would make Old Master Huang agonize and anxious.

The Termite Army crawling over Qin Niu’s body went all out to control the bee general in the jar.

“I feel like it’s a bit out of control.”

“How come?”

“It’s possible that the Queen Bee is nearby, making it stronger than usual.”

“No worries, I can kill it just as well.”

Qin Niu felt a bit distressed about the Insect Jar; he had bought it for twelve pieces of Silver Money.

But with a formidable enemy before him, he couldn’t care about that anymore.

With force, the jar was crushed in his grip.

The bee general’s ability to withstand pressure was stronger than he had imagined.

It was still struggling furiously, its stinger stabbing wildly, and its mandibles biting randomly. It was too ferocious.

Qin Niu gradually increased his strength until a pus-like liquid began to ooze from the creature’s mouth, the stench strong enough to make someone faint.

A Grade Five bee general, so what?

In front of the second level of acquired cultivation, it was still to be crushed to death.

Of course, the premise was that it had to be trapped and there was no worry about being stung by it.

“Damn you, stop! If you dare to harm my bee generals, I will grind you to dust, raise a sky lantern, excavate your entire family’s ancestral graves, slaughter your whole family, obliterate your whole village…”

Feeling that a bee general was under threat of death, Old Master Huang was like an enraged lion.

The ordinary Corpse Bees approached Qin Niu with even greater velocity.

“Hmph, no one can stop what Qin Niu intends to do.”

As he spoke, the jar was compressed to an exaggerated degree. A Grade Five bee general was just pitifully crushed to death.

“Just an insect, no matter how powerful, is still just an insect.”

Qin Niu didn’t discard the corpse; it was a high-grade ingredient, and he planned to save it to feed the Ant Queen.

Old Master Huang’s body, however, shook violently, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Each Insect Master’s method of controlling insects is different.

Like Qin Niu’s termites and bees, they had only established contracts with the Ant Queen and Queen Bee.

But as Corpse Bees are difficult to raise, to strengthen his connection with them, Old Master Huang probably made contracts with each one.

The benefit of doing so is more flexible control when commanding them, no need to worry about them being taken by others.

Qin Niu had even tried to tame a Corpse Bee but found it was already under contract, making it impossible to tame.

This further illustrated that Old Master Huang had entered into agreements with each Corpse Bee.

The upside was that he could command them as if they were extensions of his own limbs, without fear of them being seized by others, and no concern of backlashes.

The downside was that for each Corpse Bee killed by someone else, he would have to suffer damage to his soul.

The higher the level of the Corpse Bee that died, the more severe the damage to him.

This is also why that woman, when she swung her blade at the Corpse Bees, caused Old Master Huang to reveal himself in a furious and flustered state, calling her an idiot.

“I will surely kill you! Dismember, pour oil and set on fire, grind to dust…”

Old Master Huang’s complexion turned pale, but his eyes were filled with profound hatred and murderous intent.

“Haha, no worries, no worries. Before death, I assure you these three bee generals will accompany the burial. The second one, here we go!”

Qin Niu grabbed another Insect Jar and then crushed it.

The second bee general began vomiting a pus-like, foul-smelling liquid.

Old Master Huang’s eyes were almost bursting with rage.

“Stop, stop… you damn little thief…”

Regardless of the damage to his soul, he gritted his teeth and unleashed his strongest cultivation, revealing a rather impressive step technique.

This was a Step-Method Martial Skill.

Once reaching minor proficiency, one could become as light as a swallow, walk on waves, and climb walls as if flying.

Qin Niu sought longevity with all his heart, and since he didn’t have much Silver Money, he hadn’t considered buying a Step-Method Martial Skill to study.

Step-Method Martial Skills were also the most expensive category among all martial skills.

Sword techniques, boxing techniques, blade techniques, they could kill enemies and were offensive martial skills.

However, Step-Method Martial Skills could make a person’s movements flexible, allowing one to advance or retreat with ease and secure an unbeatable position.

If they couldn’t defeat their opponent, they could simply use their Step- Method Martial Skill to escape with their lives.

Old Master Huang demonstrated an extremely sophisticated Step-Method Martial Skill, his figure turned into a wisp of light smoke, chasing Qin Niu with a terrifying speed.

In the blink of an eye, he was right behind him.

Qin Niu made a feint while running away.

His body swayed to the right side, but in reality, he did not move to the right.

That was because he had been running along the edge of the Ancient Banyan Tree’s maze, intending to trap Old Master Huang inside.

At this moment, Old Master Huang was like a madman, his eyes fixed only on the Queen Bee he was about to crush to death, and in his mind, he only thought of saving the two Queen Bees with the most cutting measures. Seeing Qin Niu’s figure swaying to the right, he thought Qin Niu was trying to escape into the bushes on the right.

As a result, he made a wrong judgment.

He stepped into the maze of the Ancient Banyan Tree.

By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Qin Niu noticed that the formidable enemy behind him had disappeared, and a cunning smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“Finally got this powerful enemy trapped.”

He looked at the sky, which had yet to break dawn.

The inside of the Ancient Banyan Tree’s maze should still be in an extremely dangerous state; most creatures that entered were more likely to die than to survive.

“Fourth, hurry up and lead the ant troops to control five Corpse Bees, let them fight among themselves. The Soldier Ants are to assist, using Mental Attacks against the Corpse Bees that are not under control,” Qin Niu ordered strategically.

With Old Master Huang gone, these Corps Bees had become utterly disorganized.

“The Queen Bee should be on Old Master Huang,” he concluded.

Because before Old Master Huang was trapped in the maze of the Ancient Banyan Tree, the Corpse Bees showed a high degree of cohesion, advancing and retreating in an orderly fashion.

Normally, even without Old Master Huang, if the Queen Bee were present, they would not become as disorganized as they were.

For bee swarms and ant colonies, what truly bound them together was not the master who contracted them, but their Queen Bee or Ant Queen.

“Perfect time to give Old Master Huang another ‘gift’,” Qin Niu said coldly, brandishing his blade and slashing at the attacking Corpse Bees.

He was not afraid of these ordinary Corpse Bees since he was protected by King Pig Leather Armor.

Under his power, a large green Light Cocoon protected him well.

Even if the Corpse Bees managed to break through this cocoon, there was still the thick King Pig Leather Armor beneath.

In fact, they couldn’t even penetrate the Light Cocoon.

Only those three Queen Bees constituted some threat to Qin Niu.

Under the power he channeled, the dazzling Blade Qi became manifest.

A Sweeping Strike hit the three Corpse Bees.

They were instantly Ruptured by the fierce Blade Qi, cleaved into two and fell to the ground, where they struggled and died.

Trapped in the maze, Old Master Huang must have spat blood again, sustaining another blow to his spirit.

For Old Master Huang, who needed to fend off the attack of the Ancient Banyan Tree, this was truly adding insult to injury.

He was likely cursing in his heart, sending regards to Qin Niu’s ancestors for eighteen generations.

“The Group Killing effect is not bad!” Qin Niu noted.

He had just learned the Sweeping Martial Technique not long ago and hadn’t practiced it much.

Being able to kill three Corpse Bees with one strike was already very good for him.

Once this martial technique advanced to proficiency, or even to the point of minor achievement, its true power would start to show.

Outside, he went on a killing spree, massacring these Corpse Bees frantically.

In less than two quarters of an hour, he had killed all ninety-two Corpse Bees.

He filled half a basket full.

After getting rid of the Corpse Bees, dawn was starting to break.

There were a few injured Corpse Bees on the ground, which he killed one by one.

He approached the woman who lay on the ground motionless with caution; she had long since stopped breathing.

It seemed very likely she was dead.

Using the Ink Blade, he prodded her a bit, finding her body already beginning to stiffen.

Dark blood was seeping out from under her mask, pooling on the ground in a small puddle.

The woman’s figure was very petite, not exceeding one meter forty at most.

With his blade, he lifted her mask.

“Air…”

Qin Niu couldn’t help but cry out in surprise, the face revealed was extremely terrifying, uglier than a ghost, and even more frightening.

Her eyes bulged, more white than black; her nose seemed as if it had collapsed, leaving just a tiny bit.

Her skin resembled old tree bark, full of creases.

It was brown, not the yellow that normal humans should possess.

From the curves of her chest and the flatness of her throat, it could be deduced that this was a woman.

“She must have been poisoned to death by the Corpse Bees,” Qin Niu guessed.

His understanding of the Corpse Bees’ potency deepened anew.

If stung by them, one’s fate would probably not be much different from that of the dead woman.

In front of the woman were two Corpse Bees that had been killed.

He unapologetically collected their corpses.

These were good things.
