Chapter 173: Spirit Worm Hive
The flight speed of the giant tiger bee is not fast, but the response is extremely flexible, in acceleration, deceleration, change direction, constant speed, hovering flight, its flap frequency almost does not change, only by adjusting the angle of attack of the wings, can change the flight state, which birds can never do.
Their pair of compound eyes are less sensitive to stationary objects, but their ability to capture moving objects, known as dynamic vision, far surpasses that of humans.
This is also the reason why it is best to crawl on the ground and not run after being discovered by wasps.
A level 4 general bee can often avoid his sword moves in advance.
But at this time, the big tiger bees were all in a panic, and their usual dexterity was completely gone.
Zhan Yue will also "Hand of Mental Power", this ability is not as expensive as the "Slowness Technique", and can be used continuously, slightly interfering with the flight state of the big tiger head bee when it is dodging, you can lock on to the target, and then slash it with one sword.
In the past, Zhan Yue also suspected that the "Mental Hand" could not act on a living creature, but later found out that it was not, but the weight of the living creature plus its strength when it moved, and if it exceeded the acting power, the ability would be invalid.
For example, the maximum force of the "Telekinesis Hand" LV3 is 60 kg, and if a 50 kg person is stationary, Zhan Yue can hold them up in the air, and if the strength of resistance or activity exceeds 10 kg, the ability is useless.
Zhan Yue is only 186CM tall now, but her weight is more than an astonishing 82 kg, otherwise she can try to fly with mental power.
The mutated giant tiger bees are actually quite powerful, but their weight is negligible, and Zhanyue can barely delay their flight speed.
After a quarter of an hour, Zhan Yue and the clone puppet took out several water storage tanks full of water from the storage ring and poured water into the hole of the nest after almost all of the large tiger bees outside the nest, including the group that was lured away and returned by the golden eagle.
In addition to being afraid of fireworks, bees are also afraid of water, and when they are filled with water, they will not die and have no power to resist.
After pouring more than ten cubic meters of water, Zhan Yue was worried that the queen bee would really be irrigated to death, so she stopped, first blocked the hole entrance, and then performed the "fossil to mud technique" to turn the soil around the nest into a mud swamp.
Climbing through the surface of the soil, you can see that this hive is the size of a small house, and the clone puppet uses great force to drag the whole nest out of the ground, and the water inside gradually flows out.
After performing the "Psychic Power Scan", Zhan Yue knew the exact location of the queen bee and began to dig from the outside of the nest to the place where the queen bee lived.
The queen bee is the largest in the entire hive, the size of a human head, and after the hive is established, as the core of the hive, her only duty is to lay eggs, and she is also the only level 5 mutant bee.
With the exception of a few lucky insects, insects evolve at a slower rate than zombies and animals, and level 5 mutant bees are already quite remarkable.
After being flooded with water once, this queen bee was a little sluggish, and there were more than a dozen elite bees all of them level 4 around her, ready to rush out of the gap dug by Zhanyue.
Unfortunately, this gap is not large, and they cannot be rushed out together.
Zhan Yue first cast the "Weak Aura", and a white aura changed from small to large, spreading to a range of twenty meters.
The strength of the more than a dozen big tiger bees in the area shrouded by magic suddenly became smaller, and even their flight speed became a little slow and sluggish.
Guarding the gap, Zhan Yue and the clone puppet didn't take much effort to kill or injure more than a dozen bees.
In the end, Zhan Yue also took out the silk fishing net borrowed from Tang Xiaolu, first used the "hand of telekinesis" to delay the bee, and then covered it in the net in one fell swoop.
The queen bee struggled for a while before becoming entangled in the net, and was about to be unable to move.
The queen bee, who had already awakened a natural skill, was naturally unwilling, and immediately cast it, and its poisonous needle actually passed through the mesh and shot towards Zhan Yue!
At such a close distance, Zhan Yue didn't have time to react at all, but fortunately, the place where this poisonous needle was shot was the thickest chest position of the Black Devil Battle Armor, and after piercing into the armor, it did not continue to pierce into the chest.
Even so, Zhan Yue was also startled, this poisonous needle was about 8 centimeters long, extremely hard, the tip of the needle pierced the armor instead of breaking, and the hollow needle tube still contained venom.
The venom of the level 5 queen bee is not fatal to Zhan Yue, who has cultivated the Dragon Elephant Forging Divine Skill and has a physique attribute of up to 40 points, and at most she can take a low-level antidote, but the pain is definitely indispensable.
The number of innate skills awakened by mutant insects is much lower than that of birds, beasts and aquatic creatures, and it is often not until level 10 that one or two innate skills are awakened.
It is very rare for those with ability to have insect war pets, not because they have few natural skills, but because most of the mutant insects are not very intelligent, they are all brainless, and they don't know how to submit at all.
However, the failure rate of using the method of stuning and then using the taming equipment is as high as more than 95%, and few people are willing to do this.
Only by using the seal page, the success rate is not bad.
Although there are few insect-like war pets with natural skills, some mutant insects have extremely strong single combat capabilities, even surpassing monsters of the same level.
Before Zhanyue's rebirth, among the top 30 monsters in China, zombies accounted for 5 seats, land animals accounted for 11 seats, birds accounted for 5 seats, sea beasts accounted for 4 seats, mutated plants also accounted for 4 seats, and insects only accounted for 1 seat.
The 30 monsters on the list, even if they are at the bottom, are stronger than the top human beings.
This list only counts the individual combat power of monsters, and if you count insects such as queen ants and queen bees, which mainly fight in groups, insects can occupy at least half of the list.
Zhan Yue threw the queen bee in the net into the water tank and drowned several times until the queen bee completely lost her ability to resist.
With the Yunling Worm Hive in hand, the whole process of subjugation was very simple, and Zhanyue quickly established a mental connection with the Queen Bee, and was able to give some simple orders, such as attacking, stopping, and coming back.
As for more complex commands such as reconnaissance and ambushes, they need to be further evolved by the queen bee before they can be understood and executed.
After the level 5 queen bee received the order, under its command, all the big tiger bees quieted down and stopped attacking.
The path of the hive is like a labyrinth, because Zhanyue did not fill the nest, and some places were not flooded.
By this time, there were still dozens of large tiger bees still alive in the nest.
Finally, after counting, in addition to those who were seriously injured and had no cultivation value, there were 86 adult tiger head bees left, including 71 in level 3, 15 in level 4, and 119 in level 2 juveniles.
As for the larvae and bee pupa, neither survived.
After mutation, the strength of insects has increased greatly, but the reproduction has also degraded, and the number is not large.
Fortunately, otherwise the earth would definitely be a world of mutant insects, and human beings would really be extinct.
After Zhan Yue confessed the blood of the Spirit Worm Hive, he threw all the big tiger bees and the nest into it.
[Item Name: Spirit Worm Hive.]
Grade: Golden
Description: It is a space of its own, and it can only domesticate the same species of insect mutant creatures, and the environment can be optimized according to the habits of the Zerg raised, and the maximum evolution of the space Zerg is limited to level 15 or less.
Equipment Requirements: Dripping Blood Confession]
With the relationship of the hive, Zhanyue does not need to be raised with sperm blood, he can establish a spiritual connection with the queen bee, and also know its data information.
[War pet name: Big Tiger Head Bee Queen.]
Strength Level: Level 5
Taming Equipment Level: Gold (Below Level 15)
Basic attributes: Strength E-, Agility D, Constitution E+, Mental Power D, Life Force E, Willpower E+, Growth A-
Innate ability: 1. "Flying Needle" (green medium grade, which can shoot out the poisonous needle at the end of the abdomen, with an attack distance of 40 meters and a cooldown time of two days)
Overall Rating: B+]
This "flying needle" talent is similar to the "feather arrow" talent of the Golden Eagle, after the poisonous needle is shot, it will grow back within two days.
To Zhan Yue's surprise, the overall evaluation of this queen bee was as high as B+, which was the same as a level 6 Golden Eagle.
However, considering that the queen bee has the ability to command a group, it is normal to have a higher evaluation.
There are already more than 200 large tiger bees, and Zhan Yue asked the queen bee to temporarily stop laying eggs and concentrate on evolution.
With a mature queen bee, Zhanyue doesn't need to re-select and cultivate the insect queen.
Only through the Bug Emperor can you command dozens or even hundreds of bugs.
Otherwise, with Zhanyue's spiritual power, he can command a maximum of five or six insects.
The hive space changes to the most suitable environment for the survival of the giant tiger bee, and the rate of growth and mutation is extremely fast.
After that, it's time to wait for the big tiger bees in the hive to form a fighting force.
Don't look at Zhan Yue's easy nest of big tiger head bees, but it doesn't mean that the mutant insects are weak, but he knows the weaknesses of the bees and plans carefully.
When the strength of the bees is stronger, they are not afraid of the interference of ordinary smoke at all, in addition to bites and poisonous needles, some general bees will also awaken their talents, and it will be impossible for Zhanyue to do this again.
As far as Zhan Yue knew, in addition to the Soul Worm Nest, there were two similar treasures, which were a huge bird's nest and a beast's nest.
These two pieces of equipment, in the previous life, were the core treasures of the two large forces, and they were kept strictly secret, and their specific functions came from outside speculation, they could cultivate a kind of poultry war pet and beast war pet respectively, stimulating their reproduction and evolution, which was a bit similar to the Yunling Worm Nest.
The difference is that the hive can be carried around, and the Zerg is commanded by the Bug Emperor, which is a piece of equipment to improve one's combat power.
The "Bird's Nest" and "Beast's Den" are treasures used by the forces to improve their overall strength.
First, it is necessary to find a place to place, which cannot be carried, and the cultivated war pets cannot be commanded by one person, and each war pet follows an owner and must be carefully cared for.
Second, from the perspective of input, these two treasures are not something that individuals can afford, and in order to play the greatest role, they must cultivate hundreds of war pets and feed a large number of high-grade food every day.
The two treasures can only breed one kind of war pet, and they must be gregarious, otherwise they will suffer heavy casualties just by fighting for territory.
In the previous life, these two pieces of equipment were two forces, respectively cultivating a snow wolf cavalry team and a red-crowned crane flying team, which were so powerful that they swept through the surrounding forces.
