Chapter 158: The weak eats the strong
"Tame!"
Ning Daoran once again used his talent to control all beasts, and this time he finally succeeded.
In an instant, a connection was established with the soul of the fire-eating ant, and one could even feel the other person's tiredness, grievance, fear, unwillingness and uneasiness.
"Are you scared?"
Ning Daoran squatted in front of the Chilong Cauldron, talking to the fire-eating ants.
"Zhizhi~~"
The antennae on the fire-eating ant's head sway slightly.
It knew that it was a big mistake to eat Ning Daoran's forty-two flying star centipedes, so it just begged Ning Daoran not to kill it.
"So..."
Ning Daoran narrowed his eyes: "That blazing king earthworm has actually been your defeat for a long time. Did you order it to distract me and then give you the opportunity to sneak into Qibi Peak and eat the flying star centipede? ”
"Squeak!"
Fire Ant actually confessed directly.
"Humph..."
Ning Daoran laughed angrily and said: "It's quite smart, but it's a pity that I won't live long."
He felt a little regretful. Even if this fire-eating ant was not mature, it should be close to its mature form. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to subdue the second-stage late-stage Blazing King Earthworm.
Its approximate strength should be around the early stage of the Golden Core.
It's a pity that he only has one month to live and will die soon.
But the good thing is that she is pregnant, and there are countless new fire-eating ants in her swollen belly.
Ning Daoran originally wanted to feed spiritual insects and build an army of insects that only obeyed his orders. The fire-eating ants came at just the right time.
It is old, but the children it gives birth to are bound to be in their prime.
"Well, now you have no other choice."
Ning Daoran said: "Come back with me. After you die, I will treat the fire-eating ants you gave birth to. At least I will never treat them badly when it comes to food. I think you also know my background."
"Zhizhi~~~"
The two tentacles of the fire-eating ant tapped slightly, indicating that it had touched the bottom, and almost couldn't help but rush into the fish pond to eat the spiritual fish.
Ning Daoran couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Fortunately, Chen Weimo and Chen Yuzhu had poor cultivation, otherwise this fire-eating ant that was about to give birth might be so hungry that it could even eat people.
"Let's go home with me."
"Zhizhi~~"
The fire-eating ant jumped lightly and jumped into the spirit beast bag.
……
Ning Daoran was in a great mood and returned to Qibi Peak with Big Benlu.
Bug house.
Ning Daoran re-constructed the shape of the insect house and arranged ten levels of restrictions around it. At the same time, a blood-transforming soul-chasing array was arranged outside the restrictions to form a nested structure.
In this way, if there is a ban on biological attacks, it will directly trigger the backlash of the Blood Soul Chasing Array, thus forming a double insurance and no longer blindly defending.
"Zhizhi~~~"
In the insect room, the fire-eating ant was lying on the shelf, with a pair of tentacles swaying up and down, signaling that it was hungry.
At this time, its belly seemed to have become much larger. The new fire-eating ants needed a lot of spiritual food, which was why it swallowed the flying star centipede and the blazing king earthworm.
"Old deer, bring me the spiritual fish."
"Ouch~~"
The big stupid deer galloped back and forth, carrying a pair of struggling spiritual fish on its antlers.
Ning Daoran took off the spirit fish and threw it to the fire-eating ants.
"Zhizhi~~~"
The fire-eating ant was in a happy mood and started to build directly, turning into a ray of fire. After several weeks of "sizzling" flying around the spiritual fish, the spiritual fish was completely eaten without even the bones left. !
In the blink of an eye, the fire-eating ants ate hundreds of kilograms of spiritual fish.
It revealed its mood to Ning Daoran, saying that it was only 30% full at the moment.
Naturally, Ning Daoran would not be stingy and said: "Old Lu, I order you to be the captain of the Ning family's transport brigade. You will be responsible for transporting the spirit fish to feed the fire-eating ants until they are full!"
"Ouch~~"
Dabenlu had many roles, and as the humerus minister of the Ning family army, he was so happy that he ran back and forth, sending batches of spiritual fish to their death.
In the fish pond.
A splash of water rolled.
A ferocious head of Xiao Heizi emerged from the water, and with a low roar, he asked Brother Lu when he would be taller. Almost all of his concubines in the harem have been eaten, can he save some?
“Yoyo~~~”
The big stupid deer roared and showed off Brother Lu's style. Do you still have feelings?
Xiao Heizi was shocked, and nodded hurriedly to express that all the concubines in the harem were rewards from his eldest brother. The fire-eating ant was now the celebrity in front of his eldest brother. Oh no, it was a red worm. It could eat as much as it wanted.
As a result, about three thousand kilograms of spiritual fish in the fish pond were eaten overnight.
Fortunately, today's fish ponds cover dozens of acres, and there are many spiritual fish, enough to satisfy the appetite of fire-eating ants.
On the third day, Ning Daoran led two spiritual sheep to feed the fire-eating ants. In the blink of an eye, only the skeletons were left, without any flesh left.
On the fourth day, Ning Daoran led a big black cow with spiritual power in, and in the end, only the black cow's appearance was left.
The pregnant fire-eating ant has a great appetite. I really don’t know how that small body can eat so much spiritual meat.
But this is the world of immortality, and it doesn't matter if some things seem unreasonable.
……
Half a month later.
Fire ants begin to reproduce. It stuck out its waist and fat butt, very hard, Ning Daoran used his spiritual consciousness to see clearly, and even saw beads of sweat on its forehead.
On the side, the big stupid deer also stared at the little thing giving birth.
“Try harder, it’s just a little bit close!”
“We’ve already seen the end, try harder!”
"Ouch~~"
"Ouch~~~"
One person and one deer cheered on the side.
The fire-eating ant shook its buttocks and finally laid eggs. The fine eggs were densely covered on the mulberry leaves, and they moved to their nests while pulling them.
A few days later.
Several mulberry leaves are covered with insect eggs.
Ning Daoran observed carefully and controlled the temperature and humidity in the room.
After a few days, small blackheads appeared on the eggs, and new fire-eating ants began to breed.
At this time, the life of that hard-working mother finally came to an end.
"You can go ahead with peace of mind."
Ning Daoran said: "Leave the children to me and I will take good care of them."
"Squeak..."
The fire-eating ant tilted its head and died on the spot.
It screamed before it died and told Ning Daoran, you are so kind, if there is a next life, I will stay with you.
Ning Daoran's emotions were affected, and he felt a little sentimental, so he threw the body of the fire-eating ant next to the egg, and waited for the new fire-eating ant to crawl out and eat its mother.
Anyway, the "Spirit Insect Parenting Manual" and the other "Three Thousand Questions About the Knowledge of Spirit Insects" on the top floor of the Chaos Sect's library all record this.
……
A few months later.
The new batch of fire-eating ants has grown and thrived. Their individuals have grown to about the same size as the previous generation, but their breath and combat power are far inferior.
After all, the previous generation was a "semi-mature body" whose individual strength was comparable to the early stage of the Golden Elixir.
But this generation... is obviously much worse, they are all scum in the early stage of Qi refining.
Ning Daoran counted and found that about two thousand fire-eating ants survived. He didn't know when they would mature, but their consumption of blood food had indeed increased a lot.
The spirit fish pond still needs to be further developed!
So, Ning Daoran went to the outer gate, went through the relevant procedures, and directly expanded the fish pond on Qibi Peak to fifty acres!
As for the expenses, it’s just a few dozen kilograms of purple jade rice, which is just a small amount of money.
For a time, there were more and more rumors in the Chaos Sect about this outer sect foundation-building elder.
"I heard that Uncle Ning expanded the fish pond to fifty acres. He raised fish and farmed the land every day. After eighty years of foundation construction, it is still in the early stages of foundation construction..."
"This uncle Ning Daoran practices the Evergreen Technique. It is said that he has practiced it to above the fifth level. He is nearly a hundred and twenty years old but still looks like a young man."
"Hmph, at the early stage of foundation building at the age of more than 110 years old, this uncle should have given up hope of forming a pill long ago, otherwise he wouldn't be so peaceful."
"Exactly. Who is a normal monk raising fish and farming every day?"
"Hush, I heard that this uncle is not a womanizer. Do you know that Master Han Bing, the chief disciple of Ziyun Peak and in the late stage of foundation establishment? It is said that Han Bing took the initiative to find this uncle Ning and said that he wanted to become a Taoist couple with him. , but was rejected by this uncle!”
"How could such a thing happen? Master Han Bing is my true disciple of Ziyun Peak, and the candidate for the next peak master. She would actually fall in love with Master Ning, who only knows how to farm and raise fish?"
"Who knows, maybe it was because Master Han Bing was young back then. If it were different now, huh, if Master Ning was kneeling on the ground begging Master Han to practice double cultivation, I'm afraid Master Uncle Han wouldn't even look at him."
"Exactly, Master Ning's reputation is not very good. If he hadn't gone to the outer hall and saw his name on the elder's nameplate, who would have remembered that there is such a person in the sect?"
……
A few months later.
One morning, when Ning Daoran stepped into the insect room, he was stunned.
The insect house was filled with the broken limbs of fire-eating ants. Overnight, these fire-eating ants that had just begun to mature actually began to kill each other.
The strong survive and the weak are eaten.
In just one night, only four of the more than two thousand fire ants were left!
The bodies of these four fire-eating ants have a little more fiery red ring-like texture, and their aura has also become much stronger.
"There are only four left."
Ning Daoran frowned, but it was normal. He had long learned from the classics that rare top spiritual insects such as fire-eating ants complete their growth by devouring each other and evolving.
The law of the jungle is the law of the fire-eating ants.
He didn't pay much attention.
Raising his hand, he directly tamed all the remaining four fire-eating ants and found that all four fire-eating ants were also pregnant.
It's not clear whose child it is.
Maybe it's asexual reproduction.
Soon after, four fire-eating ants began to reproduce, so there were thousands of fire-eating ants in the insect house again.
According to the rules, continue to feed, continue to kill each other, and eventually the fittest will survive.
The fire-eating ants that have reached a corresponding strength will become more and more numerous and stronger, eventually becoming one of Ning Daoran's trump cards.
He smiled slightly and fed the spiritual insects. With his talent in controlling all beasts, it was so easy!
……
Therefore, Ning Daoran kept raising fire ants on the mountain for a full year without leaving home.
On this day, I finally decided to go down the mountain and buy some fish fry.
Huanglongfang City, the autumn day is bright.
One person and one deer arrived at Xiyu Pavilion, and after buying the necessary things, Ning Daoran left with Da Benlu. Unexpectedly, not long after he left, something earth-shaking happened in Xiyu Pavilion!
