Their mandibles had obviously become much thicker, but they were still much weaker than the Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees.
The wings had turned green and became corpulent and wide.
They flapped powerfully and vigorously.
The six-legged pollen brushes and the pollen baskets on the hind legs had both become stronger, greatly surpassing ordinary Worker Bees.
No other significant changes were observed for the time being.
Upon inspecting the bee colony’s attributes, he indeed discovered that there were five new types of bees.
Grade One Giant Wing Worker Bee: five specimens, lifespan of 5 years, special abilities (can fly fast over long distances, pollen gathering efficiency +50%, moderate biting force).
Their abilities were obviously far weaker than those of the Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees.
Their flying speed was also fast, but slower than that of the Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees, and their maneuverability was much poorer.
Their efficiency in pollen gathering was fifty percent stronger than that of ordinary Worker Bees.
This meant that two Giant Wing Worker Bees could do the work of three ordinary Worker Bees.
Then, ordinary bees had very weak biting force, but the biting force of the Giant Wing Worker Bees had been somewhat strengthened. It felt like their biting force could match that of hornets.
Overall, not too bad.
He had not yet bred the kind of bee he wanted.
However, he was not disheartened; by slowly groping his way, he believed that he would succeed one day.
Compared to breeding Termites, breeding bees was more difficult due to their less diverse species.
Now that the Queen Bee had consumed the Banyan Tree Blood and survived the critical phase, he hoped that its evolution would bring some surprises.
“You assist the Grade Two Worker Bees in guarding the Queen Bee together.”
Qin Niu gave orders to the five Giant Wing Worker Bees.
They returned to the beehive in unison and lay on the outer area, keeping watch on the outside movements.
With seven Grade Two Worker Bees and five Giant Wing Worker Bees for protection, the safety of the Queen Bee was basically assured.
Tomorrow there should be another five new Grade Two Worker Bees successfully evolved, and ten new members will also emerge.
It’s just that the Queen Bee probably won’t be able to lay eggs these days.
He hoped that the bee colony would not become restless because of this.
“Xiao Nui, let’s head home!”
Qin Niu called out to Xiao Nui, who only did three things.
It constantly ate, and when it was full, it either lay lazily on the ground to sleep or to chew the cud. The last thing was to defecate to create fertilizer.
It used to defecate anywhere.
Since receiving Qin Niu’s reminder to bring its manure back home, it would wait to return to the cattle shed before defecating.
The creature was a bona fide manure-producing machine.
Not far from home, Qin Niu faintly sensed that a seemingly inconspicuous plant not far on the right side contained some energy.
In fact, all plants contain energy; the only difference is the amount.
Many plants are annuals that sprout in spring and die in winter.
Thus, the energy contained within them is very minimal.
There are also plants that, although long-lived, do not possess medicinal value, and the useful energy they contain is very minimal.
He immediately walked over.
It seemed that practicing the Medicine King Sutra was quite beneficial.
Previously, when walking in the mountains, he had ignored these medically valuable plants.
Now that his cultivation level of the Medicine King Sutra had reached Twofold Mortal, he was able to sense some special medicinal herbs with considerable efficacy.
The plant that had caught his attention was about one meter tall with no branches. On its stem, there were only two layers of leaves, which spread out like an umbrella.
Each layer consisted of five leaves.
In the middle of the topmost layer of leaves was a pouch-shaped green fruit.
Qin Niu sensed considerable energy from this plant.
He closed his eyes and felt the medicinal aura it emitted, which was very special.
Its medicinal aura was condensed and not dispersed, emitting in a straight column.
He only recognized common medicinal herbs and did not know this one.
He decided to dig it up and bring it back.
He immediately took off his basket, took out a hoe, and dug it out entirely.
The root was somewhat deep, and it took Qin Niu significant effort to dig out the entire plant.
After his cultivation level of the Medicine King Sutra rose to Twofold Mortal and he unexpectedly discovered a special medicinal herb, he was quite excited.
On his way to the Ant Nest, he consciously searched around.
Unfortunately, he found nothing else.
It seemed that even in the deep mountains, special medicinal herbs were still extremely rare.
Upon reaching the Ant Nest, Qin Niu selected over a hundred Termites and placed them into an Insect Jar, preparing to take them down the mountain for pest control.
His gaze fell upon the medicinal herb he had just dug up.
Would there be any changes if he let the Termites eat a bit of this plant?
Since the plant was so special, he thought it was worth trying.
He sprinkled a small piece of a leaf down and chose three different Termites to feed.
They were a regular Worker Ant, a Grade Two Lightning Worker Ant, and a Grade Two Tiger-striped Soldier Ant.
He originally wanted to try with a regular Soldier Ant, but he didn’t have any at the moment.
So he used a Grade Two Tiger-striped Soldier Ant for the experiment.
After eating, they didn’t seem to have any reaction.
Qin Niu didn’t pay them any more attention and went straight home.
