Chapter 35: On the Social Class of the Ruby Blood Bees

These people, who are slower to react after encountering a bee colony, will be stripped of their skin, besieged by the red jade blood bees and sucked off a lot of blood, and their bites are full of painful and itchy bags.

Yes, it's just that he was sucked blood, the person is not dead, and it basically won't affect much action for martial artists whose physical fitness is better than ordinary people.

No matter what, Jiang Yan is also a member of the human race, and he still has a human conscience, and he can't do anything to kill people casually if he doesn't have to, even if it's not his own hand, but the initiator can't get rid of him.

The reason why he wanted the red jade blood bee to suck the blood of those people was just to warn and drive them away, Jiang Yan didn't want others to see that he had subdued the red jade blood bee, that would only cause him trouble.

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!

The value of the red jade blood crystal is not small, and it will inevitably arouse the covetousness of Xiaoxiao, Jiang Yan is now fledgling, so he can only do this in order to keep it secret.

After wandering around the depths of the Black Wood Forest for a long time, when most of the red jade blood bees had already harvested, Jiang Yan summoned all the bee colonies outside, so that they could digest the results of this round of hunting, and convert all the harvest into blood crystals as soon as possible to preserve them.

He would stop, on the one hand, because the bee colony that went out to hunt and forage for food had already harvested a full load, and on the other hand, because all the creatures in this area had been slaughtered by the bee colony, and if he continued, there would not be much gain, so it was better to stop and trim it.

Jiang Yan urged the red wildebeest under the seat to find a dense black-bark ancient tree to rest, dismount with a luggage backpack, and place the beehive on the tree, he ordered the red jade blood bees to send a group of worker bees to patrol the tree as the center and the daily feeding of the bee colony, and let the red wildebeest and the black iron eagle free in this vicinity, and then he hung up the hammock, lay on it and practiced while hanging up, while closing his eyes and recuperating the spiritual power he consumed today.

The scorching midday sunlight was completely blocked by the branches of the big trees, and the occasional breeze in the woods brought a hint of fresh and natural grass and trees, which made Jiang Yan feel very comfortable.

In his spare time, he was feeling bored, looking at the jade bee on his head that followed his orders and flew over to him every once in a while with a blood crystal, and suddenly became interested and studied the group attributes of these red jade blood bees.

As a social cluster of insect-type alien animals, the members of the entire population are divided into four levels: larvae, worker bees, soldier bees, and queen bees.

Among them, the larvae can only be reproduced by the queen bee herself, and are at the bottom of the colony, but they are an essential part of the grassroots part of the whole colony for the development and growth of the whole colony.

The larvae of the ruby blood bee are very weak, and the overall appearance is similar to that of ordinary bee larvae, but the body is smaller, and the form inherits the consistent characteristics of the group, looking like translucent white jade, without the slimy feeling of ordinary bee larvae.

In addition to the psychic talents shared by the swarm, the larvae also possess two special abilities: "autonomous dormancy" and "directed development". "Autonomous dormancy" allows larvae to actively enter a dormant state to reduce consumption when the colony does not need them to hatch and grow, while "directed development" allows larvae to actively choose to develop into worker bees or soldier bees in the colony according to the needs of the population, and if the conditions are met, they can even choose to develop into queen bees.

The evolution of the bee colony race also depends on the "directed development" ability of the larvae, and there is a very small probability that the larvae will undergo abnormal changes during the development process, resulting in different developments, and even bee species with new abilities may appear, if these developments are beneficial to the bee colony, they will be included in the queen bee, and then integrated into their own reproductive system, so that the new breeding offspring of the queen bee can have such abilities.

As a precaution, bee colonies usually have a certain number of dormant larvae on hand, which are dormant most of the time and are only awakened when needed.

Worker bees are the largest level in the entire bee colony, accounting for more than ninety percent of the number, and they are responsible for a series of tedious tasks such as patrolling, foraging, producing, building nests, cleaning, caring for offspring and queen bees, and usually bear most of the combat tasks.

The combat effectiveness of the worker bee monomer is not high, and it is not even the acquired one, but as long as the number is gathered, even the ten alien beasts of the day after tomorrow dare not underestimate them.

In addition to the swarm sensing ability, worker bees also have two special abilities: "Bee Venom", which is used to increase the ability to attack and kill, and "Crystal Refining", which is used to devour prey and refine it in the body to process it into higher-quality food.

Ruby Blood Crystal, a treasure comparable to an elixir, was refined by the worker bees using the ability of "crystal refining".

The soldier bee further up is the elite combat member of the swarm, and its swarm psychic sensing talent is different from that of larvae and worker bees, and it is a higher level of "swarm will", which gives the soldier bee the authority to command and mobilize other worker bees and larvae, just like the captain and general in the swarm country.

Soldier bees are not responsible for production, their main responsibilities are to protect the population and fight against strong enemies that are difficult for worker bees to deal with, and most of the remaining two abilities they possess are also born for fighting.

The "Battle Instinct" endows the Soldier Bee with an innate sense of battle and skill, and is the result of countless warriors in the Ruby Blood Bee colony who have been passed down from generation to generation and engraved into the racial heritage.

"Poison refining" is a common method used by soldier bees to increase their lethality, similar to the "crystal refining" of worker bees, but the difference is that soldier bees refine poison that is used to kill and injure enemies.

With this ability, the bees can not only secrete toxins on their own, but also actively collect toxins from the outside world and send them to their bodies for refining.

In addition, the bees can also choose the type of toxin they want to refine, such as poison to paralyze prey to capture targets, and poisons to dissolve the enemy's body to kill targets, and they can selectively refine according to their needs.

If necessary, the "bee venom" of the worker bees can also be enhanced by the soldier bees using their "poison refining" ability.

Because they are often associated with poison, the toxin resistance of the soldier bees themselves is not low, and they can also extract antibodies with opposite properties according to the ingested toxins to offset them, acting as the detoxification physician in the population. This ability, like the "crystal refining" of the worker bee, is especially valued by Jiang Yan, because it means that if he is poisoned in the future, he can also use the soldier bee of the red jade blood bee to detoxify.

Even if there is no guarantee that any toxins will be eliminated 100%, such as those toxins that are far higher than those of the ruby blood bee, they will not be easy to solve, but this is still an extra means.

The last queen bee does not need to produce and fight, and its main responsibilities are only to lead the colony and reproduce offspring, and the "Queen Bee Will", "Larval Reproduction" and "Reproductive Devouring" in its software ability bar are also for this purpose.

The "Will of the Queen Bee" is a direct manifestation of the status of the Ruby Blood Queen in the population, and every one of its people cannot disobey its orders, and if necessary, it can unite all the Ruby Blood Bees under its command to launch a spiritual attack on the enemy.

"Larval reproduction" is the ability of a queen bee to reproduce offspring, and an adult queen bee can lay thousands of larvae in an hour if provided with enough energy.

"Reproductive devouring" means that the queen bee can devour her excellent offspring, and in this way, she can absorb the excellent ability genes of the offspring and add them to herself, so that her newly bred offspring will also obtain this excellent gene, so that the race will evolve in a better direction.

The combination of its ability to "reproductive devouring" and the benign mutation triggered by the "directional development" of the larvae is the key to the evolution of the ruby blood bee race from an ordinary insect to a ferocious beast that everyone talks about over the years.

Although these abilities were quite interesting, Jiang Yan was more interested in the last ability scanned on the queen bee in his hand, which was an ability called "Spirit Eater".
