Chapter 396: Chapter 388 Queen Bee Appears?_1
The leader, a dark red fire bee, was actually smaller in size.
But it was like an emperor, with all the other giant fire bees only able to follow behind.
The seven or eight giant fire bees that followed closely behind it were also dark red in color, just not as deep as its hue.
Its body was almost black with how red it was.
Its flying speed was equally terrifying, suddenly appearing right in front of Qin Niu.
Probably only Qin Niu’s Green Demon Bee could barely compete with it.
The equally flight-capable War Bees were considered ‘garbage’ in comparison.
It wasn’t a small difference, but a very large gap.
Fourth and the other Termites were caught completely off guard by this sudden turn of events.
Qin Niu only saw a fleeting shadow before the blackish-red Queen Bee was already in front of him. It was too fast.
It effortlessly penetrated Qin Niu’s aura armor as if it were a game.
After piercing through the aura armor, it cleverly chose to attack the exposed parts of Qin Niu’s face.
The eyes are a significant weakness.
It’s not possible to cover the eyes as well, leaving them almost unprotected.
The Fire Bee Queen wasn’t courteous with Qin Niu, lifting its abdomen, the terrifying Poison Stinger aimed directly at his eyes.
Luckily, Qin Niu was also battle-hardened.
Even under its sudden attack, he reacted quickly, retreating swiftly while also shifting his head to dodge this fearsome Fire Bee Queen.
At this critical moment, a streak of dark green shadow rushed forward.
It was Qin Niu’s Green Demon Bee.
It was currently only Grade Five and had a lot of room for growth.
Probably feeding it Ancient Banyan Tree Blood would easily allow it to advance to Grade Six, or even Grade Seven.
It was also the strongest of all Qin Niu’s bee insect pets.
Not strong in just one aspect, but powerful in every aspect.
The Green Demon Bee engaged in direct combat with the Fire Bee Queen.
Normally, a Queen Bee rarely participates in combat.
Especially after laying eggs, their job is to lay eggs.
Only if the hive faces utter destruction and the swarm is at a life-or-death crisis would the Queen possibly fight alongside the female bees against a formidable enemy.
As for the male bees, apart from mating with the Queen Bee, they’re good for nothing else.
The poison stingers of the Queen and female bees are actually evolved from their ovipositors.
The male bees, despite their size, can’t even defeat an ordinary female bee.
It’s similar to spotted hyenas, where the females are significantly larger than the males.
This participation of the Fire Bee Queen herself was somewhat puzzling. After all, even if Qin Niu had entered their habitat, he wasn’t at the hive yet, far from posing a mortal threat to the hive.
Perhaps it had to do with the temperament of the fire bees.
They have a violent temper and would fiercely fight against any slight offense.
The Green Demon Bee clung to the Fire Bee Queen’s body, with both bees wrestling together.
The Fire Bee Queen’s Poison Stinger desperately jabbed at the Green Demon Bee.
The Green Demon Bee was similarly ruthless.
Both of their stingers possessed extreme penetrating power.
The Green Demon Bee, with its special abilities of Phantasmal Shape and Regeneration, had an ability akin to immortality. When it came to biting, it certainly had the advantage.
The Fire Bee Queen couldn’t hurt it, but it could bite or sting the Fire Bee Queen.
It was akin to a dimensional attack.
After being stung by the Green Demon Bee, the Deicide Poison seemed to have caused severe damage to the Fire Bee Queen’s body.
Soon, it lost the ability to resist.
Qin Niu hurriedly took out a Metal Bug Canister and put the Queen inside.
As for the remaining giant fire bees, Qin Niu considered them of little threat.
