Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat point - Chapter 271
Along the way, locusts ravaging the land could be seen everywhere.
Their sizes varied, showing no clear trend of evolution.
The greatest advantage of these locusts was still their overwhelming numbers. After confronting several Insect Masters from the Nine Insect Gang, Qin Niu found it easier to handle these locusts.
I he battlefield was the best place to enhance one’s strength.
Having encountered more powerful swarms, these weak locusts seemed almost unworthy of mention.
After a day and night of long and arduous travel, Qin Niu finally returned safely to Jade Stream Town.
Along the way, he saw no traces of the enemy army’s plundering in the major towns.
Although the people were panicked and many were ready to flee at any moment, the enemy had not been able to penetrate deep into the Black Tiger Gang’s territory to wreak havoc.
This was a good thing.
It meant the Black Tiger Gang had held the line against the enemy’s assault.
Having left his hometown for many days, as he drew closer to Shuangfeng Village, his heart surged with excitement.
He couldn’t help but quicken his pace.
The Misty Rain Elusive Step was used whenever possible, and along the way, its proficiency level had rapidly increased.
The Misty Rain Traceless Step had made some progress: 923.4/1000 (speed increased by 40%, agility increased by 20%).
Although progressing from proficiency to some achievement meant an additional 10% increase in both speed and agility, he had yet to comprehend any special abilities.
When the Slash Martial Skill reached proficiency, he directly unleashed Critical Chop.
The Misty Rain Traceless Step should be a fine Step-Method Martial Skill, and in theory, it must be stronger and more profound than the Slash Martial Skill he had comprehended on his own.
Once trained to a certain realm, he should be able to apprehend special abilities.
Fortunately, he was soon to advance to the next realm, and perhaps there would be an unexpected surprise then.
“Is that you, Brother Qin Niu?”
A woman stood from afar at the entrance to Daoyuan Village.
Even though it was night, her graceful figure was still discernible.
“Cai Xian! It’s me!”
Qin Niu flew over quickly, gazing at the beauty before him.
Having not seen her for many days, she seemed somewhat haggard, with messy hair at her temples, stirring a sense of compassion in anyone who saw her.
“Why are you waiting at the village entrance so late? Has something happened?”
Qin Niu, having been away from home for many days, was greatly concerned about the potential invasion by enemies.
If the Nine Insect Gang’s devils came, beauties like Tang Caixian and Wang Wanyan would meet a tragic fate, one by one.
“No, nothing much happened. I went to see you a few days ago and learned that you were out. With chaos reigning outside, I couldn’t settle down, fearing that some mishap might have befallen you. Maybe it was a psychic premonition, but today I was compelled to come and wait at the village entrance. Hehe, and I really did wait for you. I’m so incredibly happy.”
She spoke lightly, but she must have been deeply worried these past days.
“You’ve lost weight!”
Qin Niu looked at her enchanting face, and for the first time, he was willing to truly open his heart, to accept her, to engrave her in his mind.
When a man pursues a woman, there’s a mountain between them.
When a woman pursues a man, it’s only a veil away.
A beautiful young girl, deeply in love with him, pining for him, had even moved his stony heart.
“Seeing you return safely is better than anything else. You look travel-weary; you must have suffered a lot on the road. Hurry home and take a bath, rest well. I’ll come to see you tomorrow.”
Tang Caixian’s face broke into a genuine smile, and her eyes were so tender they seemed to drip water.
Pining away for many days, upon seeing her beloved, she didn’t selfishly wish for Qin Niu to stay with her longer to relieve the anguish of longing. Instead, she considerately urged him to hurry home to rest.
Perhaps only a woman who loves a man to the marrow of her bones could feel this way.
Alright, come to my place early tomorrow. I have something for you then.”
Qin Niu had caught quite a few powerful insects this time, and those he couldn’t use himself, he could consider giving a couple to her.
She had previously focused on learning dance, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, never thinking about cultivation.
Later, it was Qin Niu who suggested that she raise her cultivation to a certain level before he would consider marrying her..
