Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points-Chapter 437 - 429: Level 10 Demon Spider_1

Chapter 437: Chapter 429: Level 10 Demon Spider_1

“`

However, upon closer observation of its physique, with slender legs and an abdomen like that of a wolf, it appeared plump, but was actually lithe. As it moved, it was quite agile, moving faster than the running speed of an ordinary warhorse.

His initial assessment was obviously wrong, this was not a garden spider.

Most garden spiders share a common feature, their abdomens are irregularly round, short, and plump, making them look like hunchbacked old men.

The large spider ridden by the woman in the black robe clearly did not fit this description.

Upon closer inspection, it bore a resemblance to the Banded Funnel-Web Spider or the Forest Funnel-Web Spider.

Considering its agility and movement, it also had traces of the Wolf Spider.

Furthermore, the size of this spider was astonishing.

The largest spider Qin Niu had ever seen was the size of a millstone, which he found incredibly remarkable at the time.

He had never before seen a spider as large as a full-grown water buffalo.

The vast majority of insects have a natural disadvantage in terms of size.

They are usually very small.

For example, ants, centipedes, scorpions, wasps, spiders… nearly all the insects one can think of are small. Any beast or bird seems like a super giant in comparison.

An insect that grows as large as a water buffalo is either transformed into a demon or is a rare species of heaven and earth.

“Who is that woman riding the spider?”

Qin Niu asked.

“She’s the Black Widow, the Gang Leader of the Nine Insects Gang. I haven’t seen her for over a decade, and to think her Tyrant Funnel-Web Spider has now transformed into a demon, what a great improvement,” replied Master He Shan with a tone filled with both envy and a hint of fear.

Every Insect Master dreams of cultivating a powerful insect.

They raise their insect pets like children, hoping they become as strong as possible.

For an insect to transform into a demon is a height most Insect Masters cannot reach in their lifetime.

In terms of the difficulty of transformation, insects are second only to plants.

Their transformation process is ten times more difficult than that of beasts and birds.

This is also an important reason why the status of Insect Masters is inferior to that of Beast Tamers.

If an Insect Master’s insect pet can be cultivated to Grade Eight, it has essentially reached its peak. A slightly stronger one might have the luck to break through to Level Nine, which then is the end point.

A Level Nine insect can be considered a half-demon.

Logically, being half-Demon, with half of its body stepping over the threshold into the Demon realm, shouldn’t it only be a matter of effort for the transformation to follow like water flowing into a channel?

But this turns out to be as difficult as climbing to heaven for insects.

The majority of Insect Masters, upon reaching the Immortal Scholar Realm, cannot succeed in advancing their insect pets to Level Ten no matter what.

Eventually, these Insect Masters despair and give up the profession, switching to beast taming instead.

The Nine Insects Gang Leader’s Tyrant Funnel-Web Spider advancing to Level Ten and successfully transforming means she has surpassed the vast majority of Insect Masters. It also makes the battle today much more dangerous.

The strongest insect pet Qin Niu currently has is Grade Eight.

If only his Spirit Space were sufficient to subdue the Mirage Insect, he could also possess a demon insect pet.

He squinted his eyes, fixated on the demon spider, wishing he was in the Qifeng Mountain Range. He could easily have the Fire Phoenix take action and eliminate the demon spider with ease.

Right now, the Fire Phoenix is a Level Twelve Demon Bird, and far more formidable than the Nine Insects Gang Leader’s spider by countless measures.

Birds naturally predate insects.

After transformation into demons, this natural bloodline suppression doesn’t change.

A Level Ten Demon Bird can completely dominate a Level Eleven demon insect. And the Fire Phoenix, capable of controlling fire and spewing True Fire to attack enemies, doesn’t even need to be mentioned.

The Nine Insects Gang Leader, mounted on her Tyrant Demon Spider, had already closed in on Vice Gang Leader Bai.

Bai Xuezhu was originally locked in a fierce battle with a dark and sinister elder from the enemy side, managing to maintain a slight advantage. Now that the Nine Insects Gang Leader had joined the fray, the pressure on him surged instantly.

Despite Bai Xuezhu’s expertise in tough external martial arts, and his fearless nature of neither dreading the heavens nor the earth, his heart couldn’t help but shudder at this moment.

“Old witch, stop your violence, eat my blade!”

A man in his forties, wielding a Crescent Blade and mounted on his horse, positioned himself in front of the Nine Insects Gang Leader.

This man had muscles coiled like a dragon, thick beards covering his face, and a towering build. His cultivation was similarly not weak, likely above the middle stage of the Spirit Qi Realm.

His energy felt much stronger than that of an ordinary warrior of the Spirit Qi Realm.

But he was still far weaker than Bai Xuezhu.

Usually, these top warriors of the Black Tiger Gang practiced in solitude at home. Now, faced with the threat of annihilation, they had all emerged.

There should be dozens of Spirit Qi Realm experts within the Black Tiger Gang.

After all, they also had many years of accumulation.

Take the Fang Family, for instance, with no fewer than five Spirit Qi Realm experts, each an esteemed patriarch.

“Cao Family, you’ve always been the most talkative one!”

The Nine Insects Gang Leader spoke in an ice-cold tone, sounding like that of an eighteen-year-old girl. Though it carried supreme authority, it was as pleasant as silver bells.

The banter indicated familiarity between the two parties.

Spirit Qi Realm experts often lived over a hundred years, and it was not unusual for members of neighboring gangs to know each other.

The Tyrant Funnel-Web Spider beneath her spewed out a large puff of spider silk, ensnaring the middle-aged Cao patriarch in what seemed like a vast net. The middle-aged man slashed at the descending spider web with his blade, causing radiant Blade Qi to appear along the edge of the Crescent Blade.

Yet his Blade Qi seemed ineffective against the web.

The threads appeared soft and delicate but turned out to be incredibly durable.

“That Cao fellow is done for.”

Qin Niu made a prediction in his mind.

Both parties were Spirit Qi Realm experts, and once one side found themselves ensnared, unless they had exceptional life-saving techniques, they were almost certainly doomed. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Even with such techniques, if they didn’t act early and decisively enough to deploy them quickly, there was only a slim chance of survival.

After failing to cleave through the web with one slice, the Cao patriarch seemed to panic and made a mistake by striking a second blade. He put all his effort into this strike, and the Blade Qi shone even more brilliantly than before.

The Nine Insects Gang Leader raised her delicate hand, and her figure vanished in a flash.

When she reappeared, she was already behind the ensnared Cao patriarch, wielding twin Crescent Halberds in her hands.

Both were plunged into the back of the Cao patriarch, with a small section protruding from the front at the heart position.

This woman was truly ruthless.

Killing with efficiency, as if it were an insignificant trifle.

After successfully taking down her target, she withdrew her Crescent Halberds, her form vanishing again. The next second, she reappeared on the back of the Tyrant Funnel-Web Spider.

Such unpredictable movement techniques gave Qin Niu a glimpse of how terrifying a Spirit Qi Realm expert could be.

He instinctively shrank his neck, harboring not even a hint of desire to rush forward and play the hero, but rather watched indifferently as the Cao patriarch was killed, silently gauging the strength of the Nine Insects Gang Leader.

He was well aware that a battle between Spirit Qi Realm warriors was not something he, an Innate Realm warrior, could interfere with.

He had already learned his lesson during previous battles with Elder Jiu Yin and Elder Mei.

The gap between the Innate Realm and the Spirit Qi Realm seemed to be just one major realm, but in terms of strength, it was the difference between heaven and earth.

After eliminating the Cao patriarch with a single move, the Nine Insects Gang Leader once again turned her attention to Bai Xuezhu.

Bai Xuezhu, frightened, launched two aggressive moves and made a hasty retreat.

As brave as he was, he wasn’t foolish. The Cao patriarch had been swiftly killed in one move, so how could Bai Xuezhu dare to fight two against one?
