Chapter 127 - Chapter 127: Chapter 122 New Bee Species i (2/2)

Today, he specifically brought tools to potentially capture the entire swarm of bumblebees in one fell swoop.

Any beehive, once discovered by bumblebees, becomes extremely dangerous.

As the saying goes, “It’s not the theft that’s scary, but the thief’s intent.”

If a bumblebee finds a beehive, it’s bound to be pillaged sooner or later.

The best solution is to eliminate the danger in advance.

Perhaps sensing their master’s presence, several honeybees covered in green rings flew out.

They were noticeably larger than ordinary honeybees.

They were even bigger than the lazy, mating-prone drones.

Each one was robust in size.

Qin Niu counted, exactly eight in total.

This was great, the first batch of eight honeybees had finally completed their evolution.

“Come here!”

Qin Niu called out with delight, extending his right hand, and the eight honeybees obediently landed on it.

At the same time, ten newly emmerged honeybees crawled out of the nest.

But their wings hadn’t fully hardened or opened yet.

They couldn’t fly just yet.

This also meant that there were ten new honeybees available for him to cultivate.

Getting on the right track felt genuinely gratifying.

The bee colony would slowly undergo a generational change and become increasingly powerful.

Ordinary worker bees had a lifespan of just two to three months.

The lifespan of specially cultivated worker bees would increase significantly.

He examined the worker bees in his hand closely.

Their abdomen was originally striped with black and yellow rings.

Now the pattern had changed to black rings intermixed with light green ones.

Their legs too had changed noticeably, becoming thicker, especially the pollen baskets and brushes on the hind legs, which were more intricate and much larger.

That meant they could collect more pollen at once.

Their mandibles had also developed more, with a slight metallic sheen flickering on the tips.

That meant they now had greater combat capabilities.

The structures of their four wings were significantly thicker and sturdier, with wing membranes that seemed tougher and much thicker, indicating resilience.

It meant their flying ability had improved.

As for their tails’ poison stingers, they were clearly longer and thicker.

The venom sacs and muscles had also become larger and more robust.

They were filled with a frightening burst of power.

On the poison stingers, one could still see the barbs.

It was these barbs that caused the entire venom sac to detach when they stabbed an enemy and attempted to pull away, leading to their rapid death.

Bumblebees didn’t have this limitation.

They could sting enemies multiple times.

Qin Niu’s gaze swept over the eight newly cultivated worker bees, his heart brimming with joy.

He wondered if their combat strength could surpass that of the bumblebees.

He checked their attributes on the spot.

Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees, 8 in total, lifespan 10.2 years, special abilities (Super Gathering, can efficiently and quickly collect pollen. Skilled Flight, possessing over five times the flying speed of ordinary honeybees, with more agile turns and rolls in the air. Paralyzing Venom, inflicts a paralyzing effect on enemies when stung, with duration depending on the enemy’s strength. Strong Gnawing, can tear through the bodies of enemies, with some armor-piercing effect on low-level exoskeletons.)

After reviewing the attributes of the newly cultivated worker bees, Qin Niu was extremely delighted.

These eight worker bees had made significant progress in both combat and honey gathering capabilities.

If nothing unexpected happened, the speed-grown honeybees he cultivated yesterday should also complete their evolution today.

He was certain that their abilities would definitely be weaker than the Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees.

The fact that these eight worker bees had gained an additional 10 years of life was not surprising.

Nearly all termites or honeybees that eat Banyan Tree Blood and undergo normal evolution could increase their lifespans by more than ten years.

“If they can defeat the bumblebees, then there’s no need to worry about the safety of the beehive anymore,” Qin Niu thought to himself, considering having them fight the bumblebee in the cage.
