Chapter 23: Royal Jelly
Before night fell tonight, Mei Jun's hunt went on as usual, and now his purpose was to leave here with Su Pofu, a second-year boy, and then return to human society.
But before that, he needs to get stronger.
And the wasp's nest should make him stronger.
Mei Jun placed Su Pofu in an underground hole, which he had dug in imitation of a mole cricket, and then used his sharp mantis arm to cut off a blade of grass to cover it.
He wanted to take Su Pofu with him before, so that he could heal his wounds as soon as possible, but the risk was too great.
Only the slightest carelessness Su Po will die on the spot, after all, a good dog leg is not easy to find.
Five meters away from the crater is another crater, where one or two wasps can occasionally be seen entering and exiting.
It was a nest made by wasps with saliva mixed in the soil, and the queen bee was inside.
When Mei Jun came out of the cave, he imitated the No. 1 wasp captain, and then carried a locust corpse.
The Vespa Queen likes to eat meat, which is why he approaches.
Through the memories of these wasps, he knew that there were more than a hundred wasps in the nest, and this number also gave him a little headache.
He jumped into the hive.
Sure enough, there is a hole in the sky below, and after imitating a wasp, he can also see clearly in this dim nest.
The hexagonal hives are built on the mud pits that have been dug up, densely packed, and one wasp after another is toiling in.
But the noisy beehives were mixed with a foul smell.
Mei Jun recalls the memories of Wasp No. 1 and looks for the house of Queen Vespa No. 0.
It's in that big house in the deepest part of it.
Along the way, Mei Jun raised his head high, in his memory, this No. 1 wasp is usually like this, and he pretended to be like this in order not to show his stuffing.
When most of the wasps saw him, they lowered their heads and left quickly, for fear of being targeted.
This hive is actually not very big, and it didn't take much time for Mei Jun to come to this big house.
Compared to ordinary Vespa's, this house is a lot more luxurious, and there are ten smaller houses around it, which is estimated to be the Captain Vespa's house.
Two bees with strong physiques stood guard at the door, and Mei Jun stepped forward to say hello.
"Captain No. 1, it's so late, what's the matter with coming to Her Majesty?" asked the wasp guard on the left.
"I heard that Her Majesty's appetite has not been good recently, so I caught this locust for her to replenish her body. ”
"Then let me know!" said the guard on the left.
Then the wasp guard on the right ran in.
"Well, okay!" Mei Jun's high head nodded slightly.
However, he knew that the guard's report was just a formality, and in the memory of No. 1 Vespa, "it" was the queen bee's concubine!
Soon, the guard came out and made a gesture of please to Mei Jun.
Although this species is inherently social, it's weird!
Although he knew something about Vespa's memory, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart at this time.
Mei Jun came to the so-called Her Majesty the Empress with a familiar car according to her familiar memory.
As soon as the queen bee who was lying on her stomach saw Mei Jun coming, she immediately greeted her happily.
The queen bee is generally much larger than the average bee, and sure enough, at 9 cm in length, it drags a round, fat belly, which is the only ovipositor in the hive.
The queen bee looked at the "handsome and martial" Mei Jun, opened her chewing and sucking mouthparts, and the tongue inside stretched out to lick him, and deliberately picked the poisonous needle under his abdomen with one claw.
Mei Jun really wanted to kill the disgusting female wasp on the spot at this time, but he didn't know where it was hiding that strange thing.
This is the queen bee's only secret.
But through memory combined with some common sense, Mei Jun, who has gone through nine years of compulsory education, naturally knows that the kind of thing that can be cured quickly should be royal jelly.
This thing is the secretion of the pharyngeal glands of the young worker bees that raise the larvae in the hive, and it is the food for the larvae that will become the queen bee, and it is also the food for the queen bee for life.
"Sizzle~ It hurts!" Mei Jun suddenly poured a cool breath.
"What's wrong?" asked Queen Bee with concern.
Then, Mei Jun lifted a severed stump arm, which was naturally imitated by him.
"Your Majesty, please take out that miraculous medicine! I can continue to fight for the hive after some healing. He said with a high spirit, as if he could not be afraid of death for this hive.
"No, Captain, I just need you to serve me alone. Before leaving, the queen bee gave Mei Jun a wink.
With the memory of No. 1 Vespa, Mei Jun understands what this service is, but he has to endure it for a while for the sake of royal jelly and this hive.
Saying... Can't Lao Tzu just devour this disgusting thing? Forget it, I'll slaughter it directly when it comes out!
Mei Jun remembered a more direct way to know the secret of royal jelly, but forgot about it.
After a long time, the queen bee came out, but she was still carrying eight fierce wasps behind her, and it did not have the so-called royal jelly in its hands.
"Your Majesty, don't you want me to serve you?"
Seeing this, Mei Jun already knew that she had exposed her stuffing, but she still pretended not to know.
"Hmph, under my noble tongue, I will know if you are an imposter or not. The queen bee sneered and said proudly.
Sure enough, because of the long-term accumulation of smell, although Lao Tzu can simulate everything about wasps, he can't directly create this peculiar taste. Mei Jun also sniffed the smell on his body, which was different from that of the bees.
"The captains will take him down, and I will interrogate him!" the queen bee commanded, stirring the tongue.
"Yes, my Majesty!" said the other eight Vespa captains in unison.
As soon as the words fell, the eight wasps spread their membranous wings behind them and rushed towards Mei Jun.
Fighting against the captain-level wasp alone, Mei Jun will inevitably use all his strength.
Mimic - red-headed centipede! Mei Jun said silently in his heart.
Then, his body wriggled and twisted, and he turned into a 20-centimeter-long red-headed centipede, exactly like the previous one.
Although Mei Jun's body is only 10 centimeters, his deformation ability can increase his size many times.
The captains were also shocked when they saw this, but they believed that with the strength of the eight bees, they would be able to take down the red-headed centipede.
It's a pity that this red-headed centipede was transformed by Mei Jun, and with many abilities, there is only one way for these wasp captains to follow, and that is death!
Let Lao Tzu go on a killing spree now!
Mei Jun saw eight captain-level wasps flying with poisonous needles, and waited for these wasps to come to death.
"Hmph! You all die for Lao Tzu!"
Seeing that the captains had come in front of him, the strength in his muscles poured out like a flood.
