Jiang Yan sat on the back of the Black Iron Eagle, leaving hundreds of red jade blood bees waiting in the hidden corners of the cliff where the cave was located to keep watch and watch, and he urged the Black Iron Eagle to fly into the air and start searching for suitable hunting grounds along the periphery of the Barbarian Bone Mountain Range.

Even if you want to hunt alien beasts and loot blood crystals, you can't do it directly near this cave stronghold, otherwise there will be no point in deliberately building a hidden stronghold, so Jiang Yan plans to fly farther away to hunt in other areas.

The Brute Bone Mountains are a truly wild place that is further away from human habitat than the Black Woods, and is full of strange beasts, ranging from the pitifully weak ground scaly rat to the giant crocodile lord who can occupy a lake and dominate it.

Only flew out of the range of more than ten kilometers, Jiang Yan, who took the air route, encountered six attacks by birds and beasts, and the high-speed raids of these birds and beasts brought him a lot of trouble, although the red jade blood bees can also fly, but unfortunately they do not specialize in flight speed, unless they can form an encirclement, otherwise if the other party takes a one-touch and go style with the advantage of speed, the jade bees will not be able to catch up, which is more troublesome.

Fortunately, Jiang Yan didn't really have anything to do about it.

At the beginning, when he had not yet cultivated the Dao technique to develop the Divine Yuan, Jiang Yan did not have a decent means of spiritual attack, at most, he would directly use the spiritual data flow of the ability to violently invade the spiritual consciousness of the target, which was a positive hard-hitting attack with little skill content, and the victory or defeat depended on the spiritual strength of both sides.

And after cultivating the Dao, Jiang Yan had figured out some methods for Shen Yuan to use, and the spiritual attack on the two-headed black-scaled snake when he had shocked it was the result before. In the previous battle with the Blood Yuan True Monarch, Jiang Yan copied the 'Divine Shock Technique', a method of Shenyuan attack, from him, and after combining its advantages with his own ability, Jiang Yan further developed his own Shenyuan attack secret technique - Shenyuan Bomb.

The principle is to use the ability to scan the port IP of the target object, link with it, and then use the secrecy of the ability to turn its own divine power into a data stream directly into the target's mind when the target is difficult to detect, and then transform it back into the divine element force and detonate it like a bomb, so as to stun the opponent's mental consciousness, if the opponent's mental strength is too weak, it can even directly blow up the consciousness and mental death.

Compared with the Blood Yuan True Monarch's Divine Shock Technique, Jiang Yan's Divine Yuan Bomb had more advantages. By sending the data directly into the target's mind after the IP link, the secret technique of this Shenyuan bomb is very accurate, and the target is difficult to dodge and can only resist head-on. Moreover, unless the line of defense is directly set up in the sea of knowledge, even if you wear the treasure that guards the mind, you can't prevent the attack of this kind of Shenyuan bomb that is directly sent into your mind. And this move will not have the risk of accidental damage and damage to other unrelated targets, just like the difference between a firearm's barrage and accurate point fire, which can save a lot of 'ammunition'.

And there is no distance limit for this attack method, even if the target escapes dozens of kilometers away, as long as Jiang Yan records its port IP address, the Shenyuan Bomb can directly hit the target through the way of ability, and it can't escape if you want to, although the casting distance is not completely unaffected, but the difference is only that Jiang Yan will consume a little more mental power to teleport the Shenyuan Bomb.

It was with this secret technique that Jiang Yan would not be too embarrassed by those birds and beasts, who dared to come and attack him, he would throw a Shenyuan bomb over and blow it up, and then let the red jade blood bees go up and clean it up and add it to the blood crystal inventory.

Although the Divine Yuan Bomb used by Jiang Yan was not very powerful because of the need to consume spirit, Jiang Yan only needed to stun them for just two or three seconds, which was enough time for the Ruby Blood Bees to take the opportunity to clean them up.

In this way, Jiang Yan flew all the way along the periphery of the Barbarian Bone Mountain Range, and only slowed down after running out of the original stronghold for hundreds of kilometers, and at this time, the number of red jade blood bees in his hand had increased to tens of thousands.

After choosing a big tree and landing on the branches, Jiang Yan took out the beehive and hung it to let the bee colony spread out to hunt freely, and then he entered a state of retreat.

On the periphery of this Brute Bone Mountain Range, the battle of the Ruby Blood Bees is not as invincible as in the Black Wood Forest, because the level of the alien beasts here is far higher than that of the Black Wood Forest, and they can often be seen at the level of ten or more in the day after tomorrow, and many of them have mastered the means of range attacks, such as being able to spray a large fireball, corrosive acid, etc., which has brought a lot of trouble to the Ruby Blood Bees.

For example, a large lizard with a body length of five meters and a fiery red body, although its mobility is a little sluggish, its neck steering is very flexible, and it can spray extremely hot flames from its mouth, and the red jade blood bees dispatched a total of 4,000 small teams to surround this guy, but only half survived after the First World War.

Fortunately, the level of the prey is higher, and the number and quality of blood crystals refined by the bee colony after hunting have also increased correspondingly, and the harvest of killing this fiery red lizard is enough to be worth the weight of more than twenty acquired sixfold beasts hunted in the past, and there are also good grade Neidan and animal skins to obtain. Although it is no longer an injury-free hunt, on the whole, Jiang Yan is still acceptable to the ratio of losses to gains of bee colonies.

The corpses of these dead ruby blood bees will be recycled by special worker bees and transported back to the hive to be swallowed by the queen bees as supplementary food, which can be regarded as a disguised recycling resource, and on the other hand, it is also through "reproductive devouring" to extract the combat experience gained by these ruby blood bees in their lifetimes, add them to the genes of the newly born offspring, and optimize the combat effectiveness of the entire population.

After hunting in one place for an hour, Jiang Yan would recover the bee colony, and then take the Black Iron Eagle to move more than ten kilometers and then change to another area to continue, trying to maintain the hunting efficiency in an area.

Although the bee colony inevitably suffered sacrifices during hunting, its population still increased at a steady rate under the full reproduction of the twenty queens who had obtained a sufficient supply of blood crystals, and after the numerical advantage of the bee colony was formed, the hunting efficiency became higher and higher, and the corresponding casualty ratio began to decline.

By midnight, the number of bee colonies had exceeded 70,000, and then a message from the queen bee attracted Jiang Yan's attention.

After a continuous and uninterrupted process of reproduction and development that lasted tens of thousands of times, one of the larvae of the Ruby Blood Swarm finally triggered the mutation evolution as it developed, gaining new abilities.

Name: Ruby Blood Bee (Worker Bee)

Level: None

Program software: bee colony sensing, bee venom, spirit eating, crystal refining, spirit refining

Looking down at the white grain in the palm of his hand that slightly emitted a vague ghostly light, Jiang Yan looked up again at the seemingly ordinary worker bee flying in front of him.

As the ability scanned, his attention quickly focused on the newly added "Spirit Refining" software in the Worker Bee program software column.

The intelligence of a single ruby worker bee is not high, if it weren't for the fact that this worker bee instinctively refined a strange grain that was different from the ordinary ruby blood crystal after returning from hunting, the bee colony might not have noticed its abnormality.

Without saying a word, Jiang Yan directly copied the new software and analyzed it, and soon understood the so-called mutation, this ability to refine spirits is similar to that of refining crystals, but what is refined is a product called 'spirit crystals'.

Blood crystal is a product of high-purity life energy extracted by red jade worker bees after collecting the flesh and blood of their prey, which has a very significant effect of replenishing qi and blood, and can quickly replenish the energy consumption of the eater's essence and qi element, and can slowly enhance the two after repeated use.

On the other hand, the spirit crystal is a strange product that contains pure spiritual energy and can replenish the divine element.

Obviously, the ability of worker bees to evolve this ability called "spirit refining" has a lot to do with Jiang Yan's practice of popularizing "spirit eating", an ability software derived from the first queen bee, to the entire bee colony.

Because of the ability of "Spirit Eater", the ruby blood bees are not only limited to collecting the flesh and blood of the body that devours the prey, but also the spiritual power of the prey is also included in the recipe.

In this world, there are countless heavenly and earthly treasures and elixirs that can replenish qi and blood, internal strength, true qi, or strengthen the body, but the treasures that can supplement the divine yuan are very rare, Jiang Yan has read so many books, and he has only found a few things from the records, many of which only exist in rumors, not to mention whether they are true or not, the difficulty of obtaining them is very slim.

Such a treasure, I didn't expect him to come across it now, and it was still from the hands of the bee colony under his command.

The spirit crystal that could nourish the divine element was obviously very useful to Jiang Yan, and he couldn't wait to eat this spirit crystal, concentrating on analyzing its efficacy.
