I have an eye of truth

Wang Yang continued to walk forward, expanding the scope of the Death Mist as he went. When the Death Mist reached the equivalent of three times its original size, the entire valley was shrouded within it.

Furthermore, worried that the Hornet Bees might die too slowly and easily escape, Wang Yang strengthened the power of the Death Mist.

The result was that in less than a minute, all the Hornet Bees died, along with the wild beasts they had domesticated. Yet, no one intervened, as if nothing had happened.

Now Wang Yang was certain that there were indeed no enemies in this place, or else things wouldn't have been like this.

So many Hornet Bees; how long would it take to cultivate them? This loss was quite significant.

Especially for an unregistered illegal organization like this, unable to cultivate them openly, the loss was even greater.

"Check the surroundings. This place should be their main base. Perhaps something will be left behind. These guys shouldn't have evacuated; they must have encountered an accident."

If that were the case, then that would be truly wonderful.

Who knows how much they might have left behind? Just considering these Hornet Bees, my harvest will surely be substantial.

Before long, his Shadow Assassins, by passing through walls, gradually understood the situation here. Some barriers that hadn't been maintained for a long time were still functioning, preventing the Shadow Assassins from entering many places.

However, because they weren't being maintained, many loopholes remained. The Shadow Assassins entered through these loopholes and quickly searched out secret room after secret room.

"Oh? Found a place that seems to be a residential area."

Wang Yang quickly entered and indeed found many places that resembled dormitories, though these were a bit more luxurious.

Rather than dormitories, they were more like single-room villas, with some places resembling laboratories. These places had been hastily cleaned up, but due to the rush, many things were left behind.

Suddenly, Wang Yang saw a small booklet and opened it.

"A diary? People from the Beast King Sect? So they're a bunch of traitors."

As Wang Yang read the diary, he slowly learned who these people were. They were traitors from the Beast King Sect, or rather, a splinter group that had broken away due to differing ideals. The Beast King Sect was a decent sect, headquartered above the ninetieth floor, considered a near-top-tier organization. The sect members were mostly summoners and tamers.

Their ability was to control magical beasts, making them serve them.

However, a group of people insisted on not controlling magical beasts, but instead wanted to control large-scale insects.

They believed that insects were easier to control, more numerous, reproduced quickly, and were not afraid of sacrifice, so a conflict of ideologies arose. In the end, during the struggle, this branch was basically wiped out.

A few survivors escaped and were branded as traitors.

Some of them fled to this fifty-fifth floor, wanting to start their research here and eventually make a comeback.

These Hornet Bees were one of their research projects, or rather, a project researched by this escaped faction. The diary recorded that some other organizations had gone to other places to conduct research.

However, the problem later became serious because the people of the Beast King Sect didn't want to let these traitors go, so they sent people to hunt them down.

During one chase, their traces were exposed, so the leader led these people to flee immediately. Because of the urgency, they didn't have time to clean up.

So everyone took some personal belongings and left.

It seems that these people should have been caught, and it's unknown whether they are dead or alive now.

If they were alright, they would have returned to this place to clean it up. This place has been left here for many years, which explains the problem.

"A laboratory has been found. Good, take me there."

Suddenly, a Shadow Assassin discovered the location of their laboratory.

Rather than a laboratory, it was more like a place to record and observe insects. Before long, Wang Yang arrived there and found a large amount of data.

Some of this data was unusable because it required coordination with the Beast King Sect's special techniques.

However, most of the experimental results had nothing to do with the techniques. From the beginning, they were experimenting with large-scale breeding of Hornet Bees, and then a method for the Hornet Bees to breed themselves.

It turned out that Hornet Bees had no queen and could reproduce asexually through oviparity.

However, Hornet Bees had a characteristic: they could be trained. Moreover, they would directly transmit the content of the training to their offspring through egg-laying. This is why, even without anyone teaching them, the Hornet Bees could herd.

Similarly, gathering in this valley when encountering danger was also part of their training.

This detailed various training and education methods. Because the Hornet Bees had simple minds, they could only be instilled with a limited number of commands.

"These guys have been trained very well. With a little adjustment, it will be most suitable for us. Good, there are also simple control methods here that can control the Hornet Bees to assist in combat."

In Wang Yang's view, rather than using them for combat, it would be better to use them for patrolling. Because they are numerous and ubiquitous, using them for patrolling could prevent most special methods.

Most importantly, Hornet Bees are not just creatures used for combat, but are actually creatures used for production.

Hornet Bees are different from honeybees. Honeybees collect nectar and eventually produce honey.

Hornet Bees don't eat nectar; they suck blood. However, after sucking blood, it's not completely useless. Hornet Bees absorb a portion of the essence they need from the blood, and the rest becomes a special plasma, which they excrete. This substance is very beneficial to living beings.

Directly using it, soaking in it, can enhance one's physical strength.

Ordinary plasma is only useful for ordinary and entry-level professionals; it has no effect on high-level professionals.

However, after these people's years of modification, the plasma produced by the new type of Hornet Bees can even have an effect on high-level professionals. If used to train martial artists, it can relatively easily train people to the level of martial masters.

This is mass production in a sense, and at this level, it is definitely top-notch technology.

No, it's not just at this level; even in the entire human world, it's considered a high-end technology.

This is a side-effect-free way to increase the number of advanced martial artists. Anyone who obtains it will treat it as a treasure. But it doesn't seem like the Beast King Sect has cultivated many martial masters. It seems they didn't obtain this secret method.
