Chapter 565: A Full Harvest
Chapter 565 – A Harvest Full of Revenue
The woman finally moved her eyes and slowly turned her head towards the person who came in to report the news.
“Not surprising. When I first found out he was cultivating parasitic demons, I knew he wouldn’t make it. Third rank ah, how can it be so easy to go up.”
After saying that, the wind demon didn’t move again, just like a bad signal lag.
The guards kneeling on the ground didn’t dare to remind or move either.
The last person who took the initiative to speak out when Wind Demon was dumbfounded had been hanging on the peak that hadn’t entered the clouds for three months.
Only after a few more minutes did Wind Demon continue to speak.
“All of you get out, I’m going to rest.”
The maidservant and the servant who came to report glanced at each other, and with the lightest of movements, carefully left the room.
After the others left, a ceramic water jar in the corner of the room “gurgled”.
After a moment, a human head, also made of water, protruded from the pot.
“My lord, you are looking for me?”
“How was the last Pure Spirit Wizard Tower?”
“The people didn’t return. Judging some skill.”
“Heh, killing someone you sent there is some skill?”
“The contamination of the …… halfling traders did reduce drastically.”
Wind Demon closed her eyes, “Find someone else to treat the contamination in good faith. Until then, don’t let any other messed up people near that wizard’s tower.”
“Yes …… Lord!”
In the middle of the water man’s head’s speech, there was a word pronounced vaguely, making it hard to hear.
Still, the wind demon immediately glared across his eyes.
It was as if he could guess even if he didn’t hear what the other party said.
“Scram.” She was silent for a moment and spat out a word in a low voice.
The waterman’s head disappeared with a clatter, splashing out a few drops that landed on the rim of the clay pot.
The wind demon’s eyes closed slightly, and she was once again still.
Just like a sculpture of a beauty carved by a master, no semblance of popularity could be seen on her body.
……
Saul searched through the survivor’s ancient forest, finding the dawn from the darkness.
But strangely enough, although the alternative queen of the quicksand termites had been searching for the colony’s traces and seemed to have made a discovery, it ended up circling the ancient forest all the time.
And although the small algae that followed closely behind would explore deep underground, they still hadn’t found a single ant nest.
It seemed that all the land here had been overrun by the bow-backed termites.
“Quicksand Termites and Bowback Termites share many habits, but that’s why the two are almost mortal enemies.” Looking at the alternative ant queen who hadn’t been able to find where the colony was, Saul couldn’t help but feel a little worried.
Agu: [Could it be that the quicksand termites have moved away in the recent past, and this alternative ant queen hasn’t undergone a transformation because it was sealed by the sorcerer?]
Herman is a bit puzzled.
[Even if the quicksand termite colony has moved away, there is no fear. We can just breed this alternative ant queen and let it become the new queen won’t it be fine?”]
“It’s not that simple.” Saul stopped and let Algae bring back the alternative ant queen that was scurrying on the ground, already recognizing Agu’s conjecture in his heart.
“Quicksand termites are rare, and the success rate of transforming its alternative ant queen into a real one is very low.”
Although he didn’t have much confidence in the successful transformation of the alternative termite in his hand, Saul carefully put away the quicksand termite to avoid hurting it.
If this trip to find the ant colony failed, then he would have to find a way to successfully cultivate the alternative termite in his hand.
Otherwise, the next time he waited until there was news of a quicksand termite, he didn’t know when it would be.
Saul walked through the Survivor Ancient Forest and came out from the other side.
He still didn’t find any quicksand termite swarms in the ancient forest, but he did see quite a few bow-backed termites fighting in groups.
Apparently, the death of the king had caused this group of powerful termites to split up and go their own way.
“The conversion rate of this Bowback Termite Alternative Queen is quite high. Otherwise the forest wouldn’t be fighting so fiercely.” Sol shook his head and stood at the edge of the forest.
It was time to go back.
But before he went back, he had to properly examine the few scrolls he had fished out from the Bonanza Court.
Having just rushed out and searched for quicksand termites all night, he only now had time to confirm what goodies he had actually shunned.
Sol opened the first scroll, and the first one was a good one!
Surprisingly, it was a 3rd rank sorcery, Strong Acid Spit.
Although this sorcery didn’t have much attack distance, the corrosive ability it came with could cause continuous damage in the follow-up.
However, Strong Acid Spit favored the water attribute, which Saul wasn’t very good at, and it was very difficult to learn.
He put this scroll back and took out a second one.
The second scroll was even more powerful.
Surprisingly, it was a 4th rank sorcery, Wall of Poisonous Gas.
Saul couldn’t even learn it at the moment.
“This sorcery should be related to the sorcery spells on the walls of the settlement. Because of the expanded area of effect, the killing power will be reduced, plus it’s not that hard to break.”
The other thing was that the Wall of Poisonous Gas was a sorcery that was based on the element of the poison attribute, which was likewise unsuitable for Saul.
However, he could use this to trade with other sorcerers for a fourth-order sorcery.
“There are already three sorceries that I can’t learn for now. But it has never been exchanged with other wizards. When I go back, I’ll have to ask the old witch if there’s a similar exchange meeting.”
Saul put away the second scroll of sorcery that he couldn’t use for the time being.
There was only the last one left now.
This felt similar to drawing cards.
He gripped the scroll with both hands and spread it violently.
When he read the text on the scroll, he first frowned, then blinked and spread his face with a cheerful smile, “Ha! Finally drew a super rare!”
Seeing Saul’s reaction, the people within the diary were curious as to what exactly was written in this scroll.
Sol didn’t hide it either, showing what he saw like the diary.
Agu: [Is this that method of extracting anthranilic acid through the human body?]
Herman: [Monte extraction method? It seems like he’s so confident in the program that he named it after himself]]
Penny was only concerned about the world, “Brother Saul, are you going to cultivate third-order ants as well? It’s so much fun, how about we cultivate a third-order butterfly?”
“I’ve already said that this thing is pointless. And there’s no way you’ll be able to advance to the third order this way.”
Saul casually rejected Penny’s proposal, “I don’t want this extraction method at all for the purpose of extracting the ant acid of the bowback termite. This method is good, but it’s a pity that it’s used on a completely inappropriate material.”
To be honest, the value of this extraction method in Saul’s mind was even more than that fourth-ranked sorcery scroll.
This was because this extraction method could be used in many places, and could even come in handy in his future research career.
“This extraction method comes with a filtering function, just short of quicksand termites, it’s just a pity that I only have this spare queen in my hand right now, and I don’t know if it’s viable yet.”
“If the quicksand termite can also take shape, then my magic storage pool can be considered to be in its infancy. What’s left is to find a suitable flesh nest …… or call it a carrier.”
“This alternative ant queen can’t be sealed for too long, or the survival rate will also be reduced …… Find another day, and if you can’t find any more, immediately return to the wizard tower and start cultivating a new queen!”
Just as Saul made up his mind, he suddenly felt that someone in front of him was secretly watching him.
When he looked up, he saw a familiar face, sneakily hiding behind a large tree.
It was the same boy he had saved.
“Why haven’t you left yet?” Saul greeted him over, “But it’s good that you haven’t left, the settlement was destroyed, but your father should still be alive, now you don’t have to sneak around. You also don’t have to worry about being captured and made into a meat nest in the future. Of course you can’t talk about being safe living in no man’s land.”
The boy shuffled over and could tell he was scared, but managed to work up the courage to say to Saul, “I’ve found out. My lord, thank you!”
Before Saul could explain that it really had nothing to do with him, the boy continued, “Are you looking for another type of termite? I know where they are.”
