Chapter 123 Bee Army Camp
The most conspicuous feature of the original queen bee was her plump white belly, which she used for reproduction, and it looked like a big white worm.
But now the queen bee has become slender, her abdomen is not so big, and her body is covered with black armor with a strong dark aura, making her look like a majestic general.
Moreover, after advancing, the queen bee finally gained skills and was no longer just a breeding machine like before.
The new skill is called "Insect Chirp," and its effect is just as its name suggests: it can emit sonic waves to attack enemies, causing damage or harassment.
The most powerful aspect of this skill is that it can be inherited, allowing future generations of bees born from the queen to possess this skill. When hundreds of bees release it together, the power can be stacked infinitely.
Now, only the queen bee remains, unable to witness the true power of this skill.
In addition, the queen bee's reproductive function has also changed. Previously, the queen bee could only lay eggs during a specific reproductive period, but now, as long as there are enough resources to replenish them, she can lay eggs anytime and anywhere, and has completely become an army camp.
However, the total number of bee soldiers produced is limited, and this limit will increase as the queen bee becomes stronger.
In addition to the previous three types, the queen bee can now produce three new types of bee soldiers due to advancement.
Poison Sword Bee, a melee bee army, has blood-red stripes on its body, sharp eyes, and looks extremely evil. Its tail has a sharp stinger like a long sword, which is covered with venom. Once it injures an opponent, it will cause them unbearable pain.
Steelwing Bees are melee defensive bee armies. Their wings are larger than their entire body and harder than steel, giving them excellent defensive capabilities. While defending against enemy attacks, they can also release poison gas to poison their opponents.
There's not much to say about the self-destructing bees; they have no use other than self-destructing. However, according to the information the queen bee sent to Yunhua, the bee army she produces in the future will not only inherit the insect chirping skill but also have a certain probability of inheriting the healing ability.
If a self-destructing wasp possesses healing properties, it can survive after self-destructing and can be taken back to be further cultivated.
Yunhua was very satisfied with the queen bee's abilities. After examining her carefully, he put her back into the poison cave and let her rest.
Seeing Yunhua's upturned lips, Aya also breathed a sigh of relief. If her suggestion had caused her junior brother to lose the queen bee, then she would have been in grave danger.
After the queen bee incident was over, the two of them finally got to rest, taking turns on night shifts.
When it was Yunhua's turn to rest, he entered the Feather of Crossing Dust and checked Xu Chao's memories. When Nephthys killed Xu Chao, she used Yunhua's body. The two were not far apart, so the Feather of Crossing Dust took away his soul as well.
From Xu Chao's memories, Yun Hua roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter. Xu Chao's demon-hunting team accidentally came to that dark forest while chasing a rare wind wolf.
At that time, Nephthys's seal was still intact, and there wasn't much dark matter around, so Xu Chao and his group were not affected.
The outer forest was still teeming with demons, but Xu Chao and his group were experienced enough to easily reach the vicinity of the basin.
Upon arriving there, Xu Chao naturally discovered Nephthys's remains and the egg in its abdomen. Although Xu Chao knew nothing about Nephthys, he could sense that the egg must be priceless, so they decided to retrieve it.
However, the flames on Nephthys's remains acted as a natural protective shield, preventing them from getting close. At this point, someone noticed the black mist suppressing the remains.
As a result, a clever person came up with a solution. Nephthys's flames and the black mist below were clearly antagonistic. In that case, why not strengthen the black mist below? This way, they could break through the flame shield and then retrieve the egg.
The idea is good, but there is a problem: how to enhance the dark energy below? Dark resources are very expensive on the market, and there are no dark magicians among them. Suddenly purchasing a large amount of dark resources will definitely attract attention.
So, besides the Crouching Dragon, there was also a Young Phoenix in the team. He actually thought of the Assassin's Hall, through which they could find dark magicians and use them as sacrifices to enhance the dark energy. As for whether it would attract retaliation, they felt that as long as they hid, there would be no problem.
To this, Yunhua can only say, ignorance is bliss!
As they expected, an assassin did come to take the job. However, due to the assassin's deliberate act of surprise, they were killed, and the demon-hunting team suffered heavy losses.
Although the dark energy was greatly enhanced after the sacrifice of these dark mages, it was still not enough to break through the fire shield, so Xu Chao could only go back and wait.
He eventually decided to try again when the military issued a mining aid mission, but ended up losing his life.
Yunhua could only sigh, for human desires almost led to a great disaster.
Nothing happened that night, and the next day arrived quickly.
On their way back, Yunhua and Aya encountered many demons, including the rare wind wolves, but they did not fight them and instead kept their distance.
Unfamiliar with the terrain, the two took the wrong turn and headed straight for Fenglai City instead of passing the mine.
By the time they discovered it, the wind-eroded walls outside Fenglai City were already clearly visible, and Yunhua couldn't help but cover her face and smile bitterly.
Yunhua first went to the office of Mingzhu Academy and told the administrator about the matter.
The manager didn't make things difficult for Yunhua; after clarifying the situation, he let Yunhua go home.
Xu Zhaoting and the others had already returned by then. They were both very happy to see Yun Hua safe and sound, because they had heard that only a few of the group that went to explore the Azure Flame Bird had returned, so they had been very worried.
From them, Yunhua learned what had happened at the mine: the golden divine bird and the old man had also gone there, and they had brought a flock of Azure Flame Birds with them.
When Fang Zeyang, who was in charge of the mine, saw the golden divine bird, he felt like the sky was about to fall. He immediately issued an evacuation warning, telling everyone in the mine to leave right away.
Fortunately, the old man appeared and explained. Afterwards, the two went into the house for a private talk. No one knows what they said, but after they came out, Fang Zeyang announced that the crisis at the mine had been resolved, the mission was canceled, and everyone who had accepted the mission could return.
The old man left with the golden divine bird and the flock of Azure Flame Birds, and it is said that there are no Azure Flame Birds left in this area.
Although the mission ended somewhat abruptly, the promised rewards were not reduced. The academy's bonus combined with the military's payment filled Yunhua's pockets considerably.
Just then, Yunhua decided to have the queen bee produce the bee army as soon as possible, so he bought a large amount of demon flesh and blood locally.
Fortunately, the flesh and blood of demons could provide most of the resources needed for the queen bee's production; otherwise, the bee army would never have been able to take shape.
