Chapter 399: 391 Grade Eight Male Bee_1
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.
Shadow Fire Bee (Queen Bee)
Level: Grade Seven Hymenopteran Insect, 10 million/100 million EXP required to level up
Lifespan: 10,000 years
Energy: 1.7 million
Skills: Level 3 Reproduction 4909/10000 (produces 1,000 eggs daily), Special Abilities (Super Flight, Soul Devouring Fire Poison Attack, Super Armor Piercing, Super Illusion.)
Talent: Advanced Self-Healing, Produces Shadow Fire Bee (0.001% chance), Produces Dark Fire Bee (0.1% chance)
Bee Swarm: Regular Worker Bees 46,091, Giant Fire Bees 1,906, Male Bees 22, Young Queen Bees 4, Dark Fire Bees 74.
This was the first Grade Seven insect that Qin Niu had subdued.
And it was a fire bee.
It was definitely a lucrative haul.
Its skills and talents seem simple, but they are unimaginably powerful.
Not a single one is a trash skill.
No wonder its combat power is so strong, even forcing the Green Demon Bee to use a demonization skill that it had never used before.
The most impressive thing to people is its illusion technique.
It can conjure two illusions that are identical to its real body and switch between the illusions and the real body at will. This ability is incredibly heaven-defying.
Unless someone can eliminate both its illusions and its real body simultaneously, it would be impossible to harm it.
In subduing the Shadow Fire Bee Queen, he also incidentally picked up a nest of Fire Bees, which included 74 exceptionally strong Dark Fire Bees.
This exploration was a huge windfall.
Qin Niu checked the attributes of the male Fire Bees.
Dark Gold Shadow Fire Bee (Male)
Grade: Grade Eight Hymenoptera insect, upgrade experience 100 million/1 billion
Lifespan: 20,000 years
Energy: 100,000
Skills: Special abilities (Super Flight, Super Illusion, Super Carapace.)
Talents: Regeneration, Fire Devouring
Its skills and talents appear even simpler.
Being a male bee, it’s quite normal for it not to have so many skills and talents.
Initially, Qin Niu thought this male bee was just a pretty face, but after seeing its grade and abilities, he realized he had underestimated it.
It turned out to be a Grade Eight Dark Gold Shadow Fire Bee.
That was equivalent to the level of an Immortal Master among humans.
Qin Niu even felt regret at having used an Advanced Contract Talisman to subdue it, thinking it was a loss.
He was truly getting a bargain and still making a fuss.
Only now did he finally understand why the Shadow Fire Bee Queen was so powerful, yet had only one male bee.
Because one was completely sufficient.
According to human marriage rules, the Queen Bee being with this male bee was truly marrying up.
The male bee was of a higher grade than the Queen Bee.
“It’s simply a natural stud!”
Qin Niu looked at the good-looking male bee and sighed to himself; if it weren’t for its status as a male bee, its combat power would undoubtedly surpass that of the current Green Demon Bee.
However, using it for breeding was also an excellent choice.
“I’m giving you a task; from now on, you’ll be the husband to both of them! Enjoy the fortune of having two partners.”
Qin Niu commanded the male bee.
He was making it the husband to both the Shadow Fire Bee Queen and the Green Demon Bee.
Both bees were rare species in the world.
It turned its head to glance at the Shadow Fire Bee Queen and then flew towards the Green Demon Bee.
A comedic scene unfolded: the usually fearless Green Demon Bee, faced with the approach of this male bee, acted like a bashful young girl.
“You two go to the Insect Bag and communicate slowly!”
Qin Niu created a private space inside the Hundred Treasures Insect Bag for the Dark Gold Shadow Fire Bee and the Green Demon Bee, allowing them to communicate more comfortably.
The Shadow Fire Bee, however, seemed somewhat displeaseed.
But faced with Qin Niu’s command, it could only comply; there was no room for resistance.
“All of you go in there!”
Qin Niu collected the entire swarm of bees into the Hundred Treasures Insect Bag.
This Hundred Treasures Insect Bag truly was a marvelous treasure.
Having managed to snatch it from the hands of Elder Jiu Yin was an incredible stroke of fortune for Qin Niu and brought him great convenience in controlling insects.
On the ground, some Fire Bees were rolling around injured or had been stung by the Green Demon Bee, laying in a dying state.
Qin Niu swept them all up into the Hundred Treasures Insect Bag in one go.
Whether they could resist the venom of the Green Demon Bee was uncertain.
He could only watch and wait.
If they couldn’t withstand it and died, their corpses would definitely not go to waste.
Qin Niu would use them to feed the Ant Queen and the Green Demon Bee.
Having finished exploring this side passage, Qin Niu returned to the main cave.
