Chapter 128: Chapter 123 Cultivating the Queen Bee t
Translator: 549690339
The bee species are relatively uniform, and strictly speaking, can be divided into three categories.
Worker bees, drone bees, Queen Bee.
From this, one can see that the worker bee is almost a jack-of-all-trades bee species. They take on all the dirty work, exhausting work, and dangerous work of the entire hive.
Gathering pollen, making honey, feeding the Queen Bee and the young, providing for the drone bees, defending the hive, the worker bee does it all.
The eight Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees that Qin Niu bred have fairly balanced special ability evolutions.
Both their pollen-gathering and defense capabilities have been enhanced.
However, their gnawing ability seems to be weaker than that of termites.
Grade Two Lightning Worker Ants and Grade Two Striped Tiger Ants all have incredibly strong gnawing or biting abilities.
This batch of Grade Two bees has some ability to break through lower-level
armor.
One might say that to bite through lower-level armor depends on luck. Only if the position of the bite is right, can they possibly break the opponent’s armor or skin.
Fourth, take control of that bumblebee for now!
Qin Niu gave an order to Fourth.
Fourth was perched on Qin Niu’s shoulder, its antennae aiming at the Golden Ring Bumblebee locked in the cage.
As its antennae trembled at a high frequency, the bumblebee that was scurrying around inside the cage, trying to escape, suddenly became docile.
It was controlled by Fourth.
The Puppet Ant’s ability was incredibly powerful.
Qin Niu released the bumblebee.
Fourth, make it attack the hive!
Under Fourth’s control, the Golden Ring Bumblebee immediately flew towards the hive like a bomber.
The eight Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees sensed the threat to the colony and quickly took flight, confronting the invading bumblebee.
Their flying speed was astonishingly stunning.
In the insect world, the dragonfly is acknowledged as the king of flight, without
peer.
Dragonflies can hover in mid-air, fly backward, make rapid turns, dive, and other advanced flying maneuvers. Insects targeted by them in the air have a hard time escaping.
At this moment, the flying speed of these eight Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees could probably surpass that of dragonflies.
As for flying skills, they definitely couldn’t compare.
The structure of the dragonfly’s body, especially the structure of their two pairs of wings and the muscles at the base of the wings, grants them extraordinary flying capabilities. Bees do not have such innate ‘hardware.’
Therefore, they couldn’t match dragonflies when it came to flying skills.
But their current flying speed was so fast that it fully compensated for their lack of flying skills.
In martial arts, nothing is invincible except speed.
Just look at how domineering eagles and hawks are in aerial combat to understand.
The eight Grade Two Worker Bees arrived after their departure, and as the leading one streaked past the bumblebee, one could see its powerful mandibles viciously biting into the rear leg of the bumblebee.
Although its body size was still a bit smaller than that of the bumblebee, the difference was not that much.
It was just not as long.
With that bite,
Crack!
One of the bumblebee’s rear legs was bitten off in a surprise attack.
The bumblebee, suddenly injured, immediately turned to fight back, but the bee had already flown away.
It was greeted by the next seven Grade Two Worker Bees.
Each of them aimed for the bumblebee’s legs, wings, or antennae, biting ferociously.
They all employed the same tactic, not fighting to the death, but biting and then fleeing.
It seems that after evolving to Grade Two, the bees had also increased their intelligence quite a bit.
This kind of aerial raid tactic was something Qin Niu had never seen before.
The majestic Golden Ring Bumblebee was somewhat tragic, as it hadn’t even had a clear look at its opponents before all its six legs and an antenna were bitten off.
One of its wings was also punctured.
It plummeted straight from the sky.
This Golden Ring Bumblebee became the most pitiful bumblebee to ever be savagely beaten by bees in history.
Usually, bees were like a walk in the park in their eyes.
A single Golden Ring Bumblebee was confident it could kill more than forty bees in under a minute.
For a Grade Two creature to fight a Grade One creature, it was somewhat bullying.
It was like a commoner of Twofold strength bullying a commoner of Onefold strength, simply overpowering the opponent.
Fantastic! With these eight Grade Two Worker Bees, we no longer have to worry about the hive being targeted by bumblebees,” Qin Niu said after watching the battle, his expectations for Green Demon’s Green Demon Bee increased even more.
At the Insect Master Association, he had personally seen the specimen of an original Green Demon Bee.
Far more powerful than his Grade Two Worker Bees.
But then again, his goal in breeding bees was not for combat purposes. It was to have them produce special honey, as well as to use them as sentries and scouts.
If one were to breed bees for formidable combat ability, the bumblebee would definitely be the top choice.
They were called the bandits among bees, inherently aggressive and warlike.
A frenzied bumblebee, in a one-on-one situation, could sometimes even kill a praying mantis, known as the swordsman among insects.
Continue to breed another ten new Worker Bees!
Impressed by the power of Grade Two Worker Bees, Qin Niu decided to expand the number of his special bee colony.
Nearly half an hour later, ten new Worker Bees were all fed Banyan Tree Blood, and incredibly, just like yesterday, all ten survived without a single one bursting and dying.
This gave Qin Niu an overwhelming impulse he could hardly suppress.
Queen Bee, I once promised to make you stronger and to extend your lifespan, now is the time to fulfill that wish for you. If you are unlucky enough to burst and die, then you can only blame your own fate,” he said.
He called out the Queen Bee.
