His last deployment of over three hundred termites to the highest peak had dwindled to just over twenty.
Despite such heavy losses, he still did not recall them.
Instead, he issued them a long-term command.
To stay hidden within that mountain peak, waiting for an opportunity to search for demon bird feathers.
The Phoenix Feather, worth ten thousand Silver Money a piece, was extremely tempting.
As long as he could obtain one, all losses could be recouped a hundredfold.
There were definitely demon birds on that mountain, and that was an indisputable fact. Moreover, one could breathe fire.
As for whether it was a Fire Phoenix, nobody could be certain.
Perhaps Elder Mei, who had already died, had seen what that demon bird looked like.
Qin Niu didn't have the courage to face that terrifying demon bird directly.
So, he could only dare to send termites to scout the situation.
On that highest peak, the termites were almost all eaten by birds.
