Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Chapter 114 Cultivating Bees
Qin Niu waited patiently for it to finish eating.

Despite his lack of experience, he cherishes the life of every pet.

Even though he knew that after the first batch of worker bees emerged from their pupae, ten new bees would become his pets every day.

He still cherishes every pet very much.

After the bee ate, there was no reaction at first, but then it became worse.

Its body began to swell, and traces of light green lines appeared. It looked a bit like cracks, but also a bit like the green banyan tree blood had merged into its blood and continued to spread along the blood vessels.

The last time I cultivated bumblebees, I gained a little experience.

But it's incomparable to this time.

Because the bumblebee was cultivated purely for the purpose of selling money, so you can cultivate it however weak it is.

The dosage used is very small.

That bumblebee, like the wind ant, is a semi-finished product that has not fully evolved.

This time, I am cultivating bee seeds for myself, and I must pursue perfection.

Let it evolve as much as possible to reach its strongest capabilities.

The dose of banyan blood fed is a safe dose calculated based on the termite breeding and the bumblebee that was cultivated last time.

It is very difficult to master this quantity.

Without it, it cannot fully evolve and will become a half-finished product.

It can also be regarded as a defective product.

If the amount is too much, it will explode and die.

Bang!
This poor worker bee couldn't survive on the way to becoming stronger and exploded on the spot.

Qin Niu felt distressed for a while.

But the experiment must continue.

The growth path of a insect master is already full of hardships.

Compared with other insect masters, he has a great advantage.

The insect captured by other insect masters may be a single insect, not a queen ant or a queen bee.It will only be more difficult to cultivate them, and every step must be done carefully.

Although it is possible to experiment with bugs of its kind, many special bugs cannot be copied and are basically unique.

For example, Qin Niu's queen ant and the fourth ant both belong to this kind of existence.

Also, every item that can make bugs evolve and become stronger is extremely precious and rare.

What insectivor would be willing to feed them to ordinary bugs?
The termites and bees in Qinniu are both energy-producing, and the blood of the banyan tree and the blood of the 'Thousand Eyes Tree' are also inexhaustible, so there is no need to worry about raw materials.

It is precisely with so many advantages that he can cultivate so many special termites in a very short period of time.

The same goes for raising bees now.

I believe that a large number of special bees can also be cultivated quickly.

"come here!"

This time Qin Niu chose to reduce the dosage of some banyan tree blood, mixed it thoroughly with honey, and let the worker bee eat it.

What followed was another long wait.

Despite being on tenterhooks, this worker bee miraculously survived.

Qin Niu couldn't help but smile with success.

Using only two bees in the experiment, he has successfully figured out a preliminary safe dose, which shows that the valuable experience he accumulated in breeding termites and the various beekeeping knowledge he learned from the beekeeping classics have played a very good role.

"Yes, yes, the eight of you will do it together."

Qin Niu looked up at the sky, which was already starting to get dark.

However, he is quite powerful now, so he is not very afraid.

The calf had a round belly after eating, and lay comfortably under the pine tree, squinting at him.

With Xiao Niu's company, Qin Niu no longer seems lonely in the mountains.

He has no intention of taking Xiaoqing to practice with him for the time being.

After all, the time of contact between the two parties was still short.

Although she is just a child, she has no bad intentions.But it’s not possible to see through a person’s character in a day or two.

Lu Yao knows horsepower, and it takes a long time to see people's hearts.

He brought Xiaoqing back just to see her helpless.Coupled with her grandfather's entrustment before his death, this gave her a place to stay.

It is better to follow Qin Niu than to be caught and sold to a wealthy family as a maid, or even sold into a brothel.

Qin Niu thinks that he is not a good person and has evil intentions, but he is by no means a bad person.

Xiaoqing follows him. As long as he is loyal enough to him, he will definitely have a big opportunity.

He fed all eight worker bees honey mixed with banyan tree blood and waited patiently.

When it comes to feeding them, it’s not all the same.

Instead, some flexible adjustments were made based on the physical strength of each worker bee.

Time passed by minute by minute.One of the eight worker bees failed to survive and exploded.

Seven more survived.

A total of eight out of ten worker bees were initially successfully bred.

This is a very good result.

He carefully returned the eight worker bees to the hive.Bees need to be comforted by the queen's pheromones, otherwise they can easily lose control.

In any bee colony, the consequences of losing the king are very terrible.

A colony without a queen will become idle.

The worker bees no longer go out diligently to collect pollen and return to make honey, but instead eat the existing honey in the nest every day.

Drones are the worst off, being the first to be expelled from the colony and finally dying on their own.

Some worker bees will lay their own eggs.

Because worker bees are female bees that are not fully developed, although they can lay eggs, all they lay are male bees.

It is conceivable that the entire bee colony will eventually perish.

Qin Niu placed the eight worker bees, but he couldn't protect them here.As for the queen bee, although she has a high status in the bee colony, she is regarded as a reproductive machine by other worker bees.

The queen bee can direct the worker bees to do things, but she cannot order them to do unrelated things.

This is very similar to an ant colony.

What the queen bee can order the worker bees to do is, for example, if the queen bee is hungry, she will release hunger pheromones. After the worker bees receive it, they will quickly come over to feed her.

Or maybe winter is coming, and the queen bee releases a signal to store honey, and the worker bees will become more diligent and start collecting pollen to make honey day and night.

If an enemy invades, the queen bee does not need to be reminded. The warning bee will immediately send out a signal, and a large number of worker bees will immediately dispatch to resist the enemy and protect the hive and the queen bee.

After finishing the treatment, Qin Niu took the termites back to the nest, and then hurriedly carried the blood of the ancient banyan tree down the mountain.

The calf followed behind him, walking leisurely.

It seemed completely unafraid of the tigers and wolves in the mountains.

At this moment, the sky has become very dark and night has fallen.

Qin Niu took advantage of the dim skylight and walked slowly and slowly.

In the darkness, he saw a bright light ahead, like someone carrying an oil lamp moving forward.

How could anyone enter the mountain so late at night?

Qin Niu had also heard many stories about ghosts eating people.It is said that there is a beautiful female ghost who pretends to be a woman who has been robbed at night and asks for help, confusing men's minds.

If the man does not have enough concentration, he will be sucked up by the female ghost and die while having fun.

Qin Niu subconsciously pulled out the sword and held it in his hand.

If there really is a female ghost, just kill it with one knife.

This sword has developed sword energy, but it is not only capable of breaking armor, it should also have certain lethality against ghosts.

The light is getting closer.

"Moo~!"

The calf raised its head and brayed.

It sounds like there is still a little bit of intimacy.

Qin Niu looked carefully and saw a weak figure, holding an oil lamp, walking along the mountain road.

"Owner!"

After she heard the cry of the calf, she immediately called to the mountains ahead.

"Is it Xiaoqing?"

Qin Niu's heart trembled slightly. Didn't this little girl tell her to stay at home?
It's too dangerous to run into the mountains even though it's dark.

"Master! It's me!"

Xiaoqing rushed forward and soon arrived in front of Qin Niu. Looking at the scratches on her body, Qin Niu felt heartbroken.

"I asked you to stay at home and wait for me, so why did you come up the mountain in the dark?"

Qin Niu looked at the blood marks scratched by the thorns on her body, feeling distressed and moved at the same time.I couldn't help but blame her.

"Seeing that you haven't come back so late, I was a little scared. I couldn't help but come to find you with the oil lamp at home. I brought the short knife you gave me. I am not afraid of ordinary beasts."

She raised the short knife in her hand.

"Damn this kid!"

Qin Niu touched her head, but felt the long-lost warmth of being cared about and cared for in his heart.

Only Old Man Liu had ever felt this kind of warmth when he was still alive.

"walk home!"

Qin Niu asked her to go ahead holding the oil lamp.
