Chapter 399: Chapter 391 Grade Eight Male Bee_1
Qin Niu’s gaze turned to the male fire bee, which seemed even more important to him than the Fire Bee Queen itself.
Wasps usually have a queen served by multiple male bees.
On the other hand, termites often practice monogamy.
After a nuptial flight, the male and female termites find a hidden spot to build a nest, then mate frantically to construct a termite empire.
Qin Niu’s Ant Queen was an exception.
It was solely focused on reproducing superior offspring, regarding the male ants merely as tools for procreation.
This Fire Bee Queen was quite interesting; it was accompanied by only one male bee.
And this male bee had an extraordinary appearance.
“Fire Bee Queen, help me subdue that male bee!”
Qin Niu commanded the newly subdued Fire Bee Queen.
“Understood!”
The Fire Bee Queen was now obedient and docile.
However, there still seemed to be some hostility between it and the Green Demon Bee, with mutual animosity.
Perhaps it held a grudge for being entangled by the Green Demon Bee, which had led to its human subjugation.
The Fire Bee Queen held the highest status within its swarm.
From the moment Qin Niu successfully subdued it, the entire fire bee swarm halted its attack on him.
At this moment, the Fire Bee Queen was directly flying through the air, tracing curves.
It must have been releasing pheromones.
The entire swarm began to converge around it.
The male bee flew over as well.
Other fire bees formed a sort of secondary master-servant relationship with Qin Niu.
He could now control them.
The principle was the same as with offspring produced by the Ant Queen and the War Bee Queen, which Qin Niu could control.
Because these fire bees were the daughters of the Fire Bee Queen.
The only exception was the male bee that Qin Niu couldn’t control.
It probably wasn’t a son born of the Queen Bee; rather, it could have come from outside.
In fact, whether it comes to wasps or honeybees, the queens, in order to preserve stable inheritance of their excellent genes in their children and for the continuous evolution and adaptation of their swarm to the harsh natural environment,
often opt for external males as mating partners.
Very few queens mate with males from their own colony.
Qin Niu now only had one Low-grade Contract Charm and one Advanced Contract Talisman left on him.
After gritting his teeth, he decided to use his last Advanced Contract Talisman.
He had no confidence at all in his heart.
After all, he used so many talismans to subdue the Fire Bee Queen, and now, to subjugate a male bee of a similar level, one Advanced Contract Talisman might not be enough.
Once activated, the Advanced Contract Talisman transformed into a beam of golden light that shot towards the male bee.
It didn’t dodge or evade, allowing the golden light to penetrate its body.
And quickly subdued it.
“Damn, that’s a huge windfall. Had I known it’d be this easy to subdue, one Low-grade Contract Charm would have done the job.”
As he felt the pinch, he still found joy in successfully subduing the male bee.
Having subdued this male bee, it could serve as the ‘husband’ for the Green Demon Bee.
Thus enabling the Green Demon Bee to produce even finer offspring.
Qin Niu checked the attributes of the Fire Bee Queen and the male bee.
