Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Chapter 123 Cultivating Queen Bee
The bee species of bees are relatively single. Strictly speaking, there are only three categories.

Worker bees, drone bees, queen bees.

It can be seen from this point that worker bees are almost an all-purpose bee species.It is responsible for all the dirty, tiring and dangerous work of the entire bee colony.

It collects pollen, makes honey, feeds the queen bee and young bees, supports drone bees, and defends the hive. It has to do everything.

The eight second-level green ring worker bees cultivated by Qin Niu have evolved their special abilities in a fairly balanced manner.

The ability to collect powder and defend has been improved.

However, I feel that their gnawing ability is weaker than that of termites.

The second-level lightning worker ants and the second-level tiger ants all have super strong chewing or biting abilities.

This batch of secondary bees only has a certain defense-breaking effect on the primary carapace.

It can be roughly understood that if you want to bite through the primary carapace, you have to try your luck.Only with a good position of your lower mouth can you bite through the opponent's carapace or skin.

"Fourth, control this bumblebee for the time being!"

Qin Niu issued an order to Lao Si.

It climbed on Qin Niu's shoulder, and the tip of its tentacles aimed at the golden-ringed hornet in the cage.

As its antennae trembled at a high frequency and crawled around in the cage, the bumblebee who wanted to escape suddenly became more obedient.

This is controlled by the fourth child.

The ability of the puppet ants is too powerful.

Qin Niu released Bumblebee.

"Fourth, control it to kill the hive!"

Under the control of Lao Si, the golden-ringed hornet immediately flew towards the hive like a bomber.

Eight secondary green-ringed worker bees sensed that the hive was under threat and quickly took off into the air to fight the invading hornet.

Their flying speed is amazing.

In the insect world, dragonflies are recognized as the king of flight.

Dragonflies have a variety of superb flight skills such as hovering, flying upside down, turning sharply, and diving.Bugs caught in the air have a hard time escaping.

At this moment, the eight second-level green ring worker bees should be flying faster than dragonflies.

As for flying skills, there is definitely no comparison.

The body structure of dragonflies, especially the structure of the two pairs of wings, and the muscles at the root of the wings give them super flight capabilities.Bees have no such innate 'hardware'.

So there is no way to compete with dragonflies in flying skills.

Their flying speed at the moment is so fast that it can completely make up for their lack of flying skills.

UI.

Just look at how arrogant the Falcon is in aerial combat.

Eight secondary worker bees arrived first, and when the leading one passed by the bumblebee, you could see its powerful mandibles biting the bumblebee's hind feet.

It's still smaller than a bumblebee, but not much smaller.

It's just that the body is not that long.

Bite down this one.

Click!

One of the hornet's hind legs was bitten off in a sneak attack.

The suddenly injured bumblebee immediately fought against the enemy, but the bee had already flown away.

It is greeted by the next seven secondary worker bees.

They each aim at the hornet's feet, wings, or antennae, and bite them hard.

They all use the same fighting method. They don't fight to the death, but run away after biting.

It seems that after bees have evolved to level two, their intelligence has also improved a lot.

This was the first time Qin Niu had seen this type of air raid style of play.

The majestic golden-ringed hornet was a bit miserable. All six legs and one tentacle were bitten off before the enemy could be seen clearly.

One of the wings was also bitten.

It fell straight out of the sky.

This golden-ringed bumblebee is one of the most severely abused by bees in history.

Normally, bees are just seconds in their eyes.

A golden-ringed hornet is sure to kill more than forty bees in one minute.

A second-level bug fighting a first-level bug is actually a bit of a bully.

It's like a second-level mortal bullying a first-level mortal, directly defeating the opponent.

"Great! It seems that with these eight secondary worker bees, we no longer have to worry about the hive being targeted by hornets."

After watching this battle, Qin Niu couldn't help but look forward to the Green Devil's Green Devil Bee even more.

In the Insect Master Association, he had personally seen specimens of the first-generation Demon Bee.

Much more powerful than his secondary worker bees.

But then again, he didn't originally breed bees for combat.But to let them brew special honey, and to scold sentries and spies.

If you really want to breed a bee species with strong combat effectiveness, bumblebees are definitely the first choice.

They are called bandits among bees and are naturally warlike.

The crazed bumblebee, in one-on-one situations, can sometimes even kill the mantis, the so-called swordsman among insects.

"Continue to breed ten new worker bees!"

After seeing the power of the second-level worker bees, Qin Niu decided to expand the number of special bees.

Nearly half an hour later, all ten new worker bees were fed banyan tree blood, and once again, like yesterday, all ten survived.None of them exploded and died.

This gave Qin Niu an impulsive idea that he couldn't suppress.

"Queen Bee, I promised to make you stronger and help you live longer. Now it's time to help you realize this wish. If you unfortunately explode and die, I can only blame you for not being tough enough."

He called out the queen bee.

After not seeing each other for many days, Queen Bee has obviously become much more low-key than when we first met.

When it first became queen bee, Qin Niu was deeply impressed by the high-profile massacre of several other reserve queen bees without mercy.This is a king with an iron will.

Bloody, cruel, and strong.

As the queen flies out of the nest, the entire colony becomes restless and they feel uneasy.

"I'm willing to try!"

The queen bee's answer was firm and powerful. The pursuit of longevity seems to be the instinct of all life.

Qin Niu did not rush to let the worker bees feed it banyan tree blood, but first conducted an extremely detailed appraisal of it.

Repeatedly confirm its constitution, physical strength, and tolerance.

Then based on the experience of raising those thirty worker bees, a relatively safe dosage of banyan tree blood was calculated for the queen bee.

To prevent deviations, he only allowed one worker bee to feed the queen bee.

Watching the queen bee being fed, he stood by with some anxiety.

I have already prepared the worst plan in my heart.

Although the cultivation of queen bee this time was a temporary idea, it was also based on multiple considerations.

As the termite colony continues to grow stronger, the need to nurture the queen becomes more urgent.

Although the queen ant never took the initiative to make this request to him, Qin Niu could feel that it wanted to become stronger.

Whether they are queen bees or queen ants, their status in the group is very special. If they are deemed unqualified by the group, they will be eliminated by the group.

The termite queen is a tragic example of this.

The vast majority of termite queens live to be 25 years old. When their reproductive ability weakens, the ant colony may choose new reproductive ants to take over the position of the old queen.

Eventually, the old queen will starve to death.

No more termites to feed it.

Artificially raised ant colonies are special. If the owner Qin Niu does not order the queen to be killed, the worker ants can only take care of the queen honestly.

But the queen ant herself will have a strong sense of crisis.

When it feels that the entire group is too powerful than itself, it will worry about being abandoned.

Recently, Qin Niu felt that the queen ant was becoming more and more 'silent', so he naturally understood her worries.

Also, he now has enough contract talismans, and he no longer has to live his life in a pinch like before.

If the queen bee dies, the loss is completely within his tolerance.

Last but not least, if he succeeds in raising the queen bee, he can then raise the queen ant in the next step.

After the queen bee was fed enough banyan tree blood, she lay there trembling and her body became swollen little by little.

This is an inevitable process of evolution.

"It's probably going to take a while, so why not use a second-level green ring worker bee for secondary cultivation."

Qin Niu took out a small bottle of 'Thousand-Eyed Tree' blood that he carried with him and chose a worker bee for him to eat.

It touched it with its tentacles and refused to eat.

Qin Niu could only mix the blood of the 'Thousand Eyes Tree' into honey.

"Eat it!"

This time, it finally ate a little.

But as soon as I ate a little, I stopped eating.

According to Qin Niu's experience, it is very safe to feed termites with the blood of 'Thousand Eyes Tree'.

If the worker ants eat it, they will evolve into puppet ants, and if the soldier ants eat it, they will evolve into ghost ants. Why is this worker bee unwilling to eat it?

Could it be that the smell of the Thousand-Eyed Tree's blood disgusts them?

Bees have always been picky about food, unlike termites, which are omnivorous creatures.

After the second-level worker bee ate a little blood from the Thousand Eyes Tree, its head began to grow rapidly.

Then he fell to the ground and struggled in pain.

Bang!
Its head split into several pieces.

Seeing a second-level worker bee die tragically, Qin Niu felt heartbroken.

What a pity.

Still unwilling to give up, he caught an ordinary worker bee this time, and then forcefully fed a little bit of the blood of the Thousand-Eyed Tree into its mouth.

It vomited out as hard as it could.

The stingers on its tail pricked randomly, but they did not sting Qin Niu.

Although these old worker bees are not under Qin Niu's control, they will not attack Qin Niu.

I saw the head of this ordinary worker bee once again expanded twice as if it were inflated, and then stopped expanding.Just when Qin Niu was secretly happy, thinking that this cultivation would be successful, its head suddenly split open.

No sign at all.

Died tragically on the spot again.

It seems that the blood of 'Thousand-Eyed Tree' is very toxic to bees and they can easily kill bees.Rather than helping them evolve and become stronger.

He felt very sorry to lose a second-level worker bee.

But on the road to breeding bugs or animal pets, death is inevitable.

The bugs cultivated by some bug masters are already very powerful, but in the process of risky experiments, the bugs may die or become disabled or weak.

For example, the treasure-hunting rat raised by Hu Laizi in this village now has an extremely sensitive sense of smell as its special ability.

If Hu Laizi is not willing to just be a quasi-animal trainer, he wants to go one step further.

Then he cultivated the treasure-hunting rat, but in the end it lost its sensitive sense of smell, so Lame Hu might be beaten back to its original shape.

Whether it's a bug master or an animal tamer, they all need to take constant risks to become stronger.

Qin Niu can cultivate second-level worker bees in batches, and the death of one is nothing at all.

At least he learned from this failure and learned that bees cannot feed the blood of the Thousand-Eyed Tree.

He looked at the queen bee again and saw that its body was still expanding, but at a much slower pace.
