Chapter 385: Alienated Hornet
The hornet, which is seen in daily life, is a relatively rare social wasp among wasps. Of the thousands of species of wasps in the world, the vast majority act alone.
Also known as a hornet, the hornet is actually a carnivorous insect that catches other insects for food.
If there are breeding bees, it is common to see wasps burrow into the hives of the farmed bees and catch bees for food.
As a highly aggressive insect, when provoked, they will attack outsiders in groups.
Qin Xu was able to bring this nest of hornets back safely, thanks to the appeasement of the aura, and it was when the hornet's eyesight was poor at night.
Qin Xu returned home, put the food in his hand that had been sucked by Old Master Qin, and put it next to the alienated termite nest, the fat rabbit with oily fur and golden eyes, slowly pricked up his ears, and happily gnawed off a small corner of the lunch box.
Eat and gnaw off the lunch box first, probably only alienated termites are this eating style.
Qin Xu, who came home in the middle of the night, did not disturb anyone in the family, and after feeding the alienated termites, Qin Xu carried the hornet's nest and quietly returned to his bedroom.
There were still a few hours left before dawn, and Qin Xu planned to try the method that Old Master Qin had just given him to cultivate the Realm Guardian Beast.
After reading the information about the domain guardian beast in detail, Qin Xu was probably a little sure in his heart.
The so-called Domain Guardian Beast, to be explained in more popular terms, is called a watchman beast, which may be more vivid and easy to understand.
Of course, the scope guarded by the Domain Guardian Beast was not just the portal, but the specific area limited by the cultivator.
Cultivating the Realm Guardian Beast is a compulsory field for the disciples of the Immortal Beast Sect.
Not only can they help their cultivators guard the Cave Mansion, but they are also important defenders of the Immortal Beast Gate to guard against foreign invaders.
Therefore, the portal of the Immortal Beast Gate is the most strict in the entire cultivation realm.
It is very difficult for outsiders to explore the situation inside the Immortal Beast Gate and to sneak in.
When they enter the Immortal Beast Gate Domain, they must not only be wary of the Immortal Beast Sect disciples who have a group of strange beasts around them, but also pay attention to the flying insects and beasts around them, once there is any abnormality, they will be discovered by the strange Immortal Beast Gate Domain Guardian Beasts.
Because of everyone's different preferences, the realm guardian beasts of the disciples of the Immortal Beast Sect are also different, some are good at stealth, some are both offensive and defensive, some are huge and have strong deterrence, and some rely entirely on numbers to win.
Old Master Qin always knew that Qin Xu wanted to develop the alienated termite farm and increase the number of alienated termite nests, but he was also unwilling to let the alienated termite nests be stolen.
He had asked several times about the cultivation of alien beast guards in the alien termite farm, but Old Master Qin had never found a more suitable animal within Qin Xu's ability.
The caretaker of the alienated termite farm, Master Qin and Qin Xu discussed it, and believed that it was not only necessary to have the ability to quickly detect the situation, but also to stop it in time. During Qin Xu's absence, he could take the initiative to immediately launch a deterrent attack on the person who stole the alienated ant nest.
This nest of hornets tonight, Master Qin thinks it's a good harvest.
The hornet, which has a good reproductive ability, has a good single attack power, can cooperate in a group, and also has the ability to fly in the air, which is suitable for cultivating as a guardian beast in an alienated termite farm.
Qin Xu sat cross-legged, and did not destroy the hornet's hive in his hand, but closed his eyes to guide the hornet inside.
Although Old Master Qin provided Qin Xu with different ways to cultivate alien beasts, these methods were actually centered on the beast refining technique, making subtle adjustments and supplements, as long as the number of beast refining techniques was mastered, it was not difficult to expand the specific content on this basis.
The cultivation method of the Domain Guardian Beast is also very similar.
On the basis of the original beast refining technique, some special array imprints have been added, although it is a little troublesome, but Qin Xu is now able to practice makes perfect, and it is not difficult to let the aura run out of the corresponding array in the hornet's body.
Unlike in a swarm of bees, where there is only one queen, in a swarm of hornets, there are usually multiple queens laying eggs at the same time.
Qin Xu's aura cultivation was not aimed at all the hornets in the hive, but only for the queen bees and a small number of selected drones.
Other common worker drones don't need to consume aura for each one.
The hornet's nest in Qin Xu's hand has not yet been completely built, and according to the speed at which ordinary hornets build their nests, in less than two months, the volume of the honeycomb will be several times larger than now.
Qin Xu found three hornet queens from the hornet's nest. Their morphology does not look much different from that of ordinary worker bees.
When the queen bee divides the nest, she will take away some of the worker bees, and when the queen bee starts to build the first hexagonal lattice of the hornet's nest, she is completely self-reliant, gnawing the bark of the tree, mixing her own secretions, and slowly cultivating new worker bees and drones.
Qin Xu put a wasp queen bee in his hand, and then guided a small aura fish from the eyebrow aperture, and then in the body of this wasp queen, he constructed the aura diagram array provided by Old Master Qin.
Although the size of the hornet is much larger than that of the bee, it is already easy for Qin Xu to deal with it at present.
The time for cultivation passed in the blink of an eye, the sky gradually brightened, and the sound of Liu Amei getting up early to prepare breakfast came from downstairs, and Qin Xu finished the cultivation of the last male bee.
The three wasp queens and the two drones were the success of his cultivation in the past few hours.
The cultivation time of the beast refining technique was short, but it made him recover his energy extremely quickly.
He opened his eyes and looked at the five large hornets flying around him.
Originally, wasps had a yellow-brown color, but at this time, the queen bee and the drone are completely different.
The brown parts of the three queen bees seem to have all run to the drones, turning into downright yellow, a veritable bumblebee.
The yellow color of the drone has also disappeared, and it is black and brown from head to toe.
Originally, there was not much difference between them, but now they are two looks.
Compared to other hornets that had not yet been cultivated, these five hornets were closer to Qin Xu, and they were constantly flying in circles above Qin Xu's head.
It wasn't until Qin Xu gave the command to let them return to the hive that they landed on the hornet's nest and burrowed into the honeycomb.
When the five hornets returned to the honeycomb, the changes in their bodies did not cause the other hornets in the honeycomb to attack.
In the perception of other drones and worker bees, they are still the queen bees of the entire hornet, or two ordinary drones.
Qin Xu put the hornet's nest back into the plastic bag, and next, as long as the hornet is hung on the height of the alienated white-clothed farm, let the new eggs laid by the alienated hornet queen and drone hatch, replace the old batch of worker bees and drones, and then after a certain amount of simple training, this nest of hornets can become the guardian of a certain area space.
Qin Xu didn't plan to keep the hornet by his side for too long.
Today, he has time to go to the alienated termite farm. No matter how well-behaved and obedient this nest of wasps is soothed by the aura, it cannot keep them hungry all the time.
The survival instinct of the creatures prevailed, and Qin Xu's aura soothed, but it couldn't stop them from rushing out of the honeycomb to forage.
