176, cave hive

Chu He judged the territory range of the poisonous bees from the previous nest of poisonous bees in Huya Ridge, which was about ten miles in radius, but it was obvious that the poisonous bees that had just built their nests had a territorial diameter of less than this number.

Therefore, the cave chosen by the Chu River to raise poisonous bees is some distance away from the steelworks, which just shrouds the mountains behind the steelworks, and if anyone wants to climb over the back mountains into the valley, these poisonous bees will definitely be alarmed.

Entering the steelmaking plant from the front, there is only a passage of the sky, which is also the reason why there are many people from all walks of life who have tried to spy on the secrets of the steelmaking plant, but they have returned in vain.

When the small soldiers were attracted, Chu He did not believe that the steelworks that were advancing day by day would not attract the attention of those powerful people.

Those strong people who were not afraid of poisonous bees and could enter the steelmaking field from the cliffs were probably solved by Huang Zhong and Gan Ning.

Chu He didn't know how they did it, anyway, he didn't find a powerful person who exceeded the three-grade realm approaching the steelworks.

As soon as he approached the cave where the steel cage was held where the tiger bee queen bee was kept, Chu He heard a buzzing sound coming continuously, like the sound of a helicopter flying.

When he arrived outside the cave, Chu He was even more surprised, only to see dense poisonous bees constantly circling outside the cave, constantly poisonous bees entering and leaving the cave, and the number of poisonous bees was afraid that there were not tens of thousands!

At the beginning, the number of venomous bees attracted by the tiger bee queen bee was only three or four thousand, and I could not imagine that such a number of poisonous bees could be bred in such a short time.

This is still seen outside the cave, and I don't know how many are out foraging and hiding in the cave!

What Chu He caught was a second-grade tiger bee queen bee, which has three anti-heaven talents: breeding (can give birth to ordinary tiger bees very quickly), control (can control the offspring of tiger bees born from birth), and evolution (the level of tiger bees born is +1).

In addition, the life cycle of insects is short, except for king insects, ordinary tiger bees are afraid that they only have a lifespan of three or two years, as long as the supply of honey is sufficient, it is normal to increase the number of colonies several times in three months.

Chu He took a look with his heavenly eyes, and sure enough, he found that these infested tiger bees were not ordinary poisonous bees seen on Huya Ridge, they were all mutated tiger bees, but they did not find the tiger head demon bees with red red, red yellow and jet black.

The mutated tiger bee attributes, like the previous mutated tiger bees, have piercing and highly poisonous attributes.

Such a large group of tiger bees guarding the cave, ordinary people can't enter the cave, it is the money, silver and food hidden in the cave, and Jiang Wei and some other cultivators have achieved the golden bell cover, wearing full-body battle armor, and using steel to protect themselves tightly, before they are sent into the cave.

Of course, Chu He was not afraid of these tiger bees, and under the welcoming ceremony of the tiger bees' stinging arrows, he walked directly into the cave.

It is strange that these tiger bees only attacked the Chu River for a while, and after the Chu River entered the cave, they did not continue to launch an offensive.

This is similar to the situation when Chu He entered the hive territory before, obviously the tiger bee queen bee has recognized the breath of Chu River, and knows that the poisonous bee has no choice but to control Chu River's actions, and does not waste precious "bullets and medicines".

The entrance to the cave is narrow, but the inside is very spacious, the belly of the cave has been simply repaired, and large wooden boxes filled with grain and silver are neatly piled up in the cave, and there are wooden planks and stones on the ground to prevent moisture.

It seems that the grain and silver sent in have not been moved out again, and are completely used as reserves to meet emergency needs.

On top of the wooden boxes, there are also a lot of poisonous bees.

Not to mention cave snakes, insects, rats and ants, these poisonous bees are omnivorous, mainly meat-based, poisonous snakes, rats, scorpions, etc., are all food in their mouths.

Their demand for plants, that is, picking and making nectar, has no interest in these rice grains.

Before storing grain and entering the cave, Chu Zhenhai, who was old and serious, had already tested the poisonous bees with some grains, otherwise Jiang Wei and the others would not have hidden the grain here.

Further into the cave, the poisonous bees were even more dense and buzzing, and the steel cage used to hold the tiger bee queen bee was completely covered by a huge hive, and there was no trace of steel at all.

This beehive, although not as good as the super hive with a diameter of several meters in Huyaling, is also two meters in diameter, and under the light of the torches of the Chu River, it appears abruptly in the cave like a huge rock.

The hive was densely covered with a layer of mutated tiger bees, Chu He originally wanted to use the eye of heaven to see the situation of the tiger head bee queen bee, but now he found that it was impossible for him to see the tiger head queen bee bee, unless the hive was destroyed.

The tiger bee queen bee can develop to such a scale in just three or four months, which shocked Chu He.

However, this is definitely a good thing, Chu He took a look, although the beehive is not like the previous beehive, there is a lot of demon honey to drip on the ground, but there are also golden honey and pulp faintly floating on the surface of the beehive, and the strange fragrance is constantly coming out, obviously it is time to harvest the honey.

The only thing that made Chu He a little disappointed was that he still didn't see any trace of the three-color tiger head demon bee.

Chu He, who has seen the power of the tiger head demon bee, knows very well that the three-color tiger head demon bee is the killer feature of the tiger head bee, once the three-color tiger head demon bee is born, the strength of this nest of tiger head bees is afraid to be more than doubled.

The Tiger Head Demon Bee with the talent of piercing, the stinger is extremely amazing, I am afraid that only a Blood Condensation Realm martial artist like Jiang Wei can resist it by blessing the steel battle armor with internal strength, and ordinary martial artists, who only rely on the protection of the battle armor, are not the opponent of the Tiger Head Demon Bee.

However, the territory of the three-color tiger head demon bee has shrunk a lot, and even if it is really born, I am afraid that it will not easily leave the vicinity of the hive, and can only be used as a protective force in the cave.

Although the hive can already harvest honey, Chu He is not in a hurry, anyway, there is still some stock, and it will be said when it runs out.

Seeing the tiger bee and honey, Chu He thought of the golden tiger that treated him as his parents, and wondered how it was doing now, whether it was still hiding in the cave before.

The tigers on the earth have a juvenile period of about two years, and I don't know if the situation of the golden tiger is the same as that of the tiger on the earth.

However, as long as the lactation period is passed, the combat effectiveness of the juvenile tiger is also considerable.

Chu He didn't know if the Earth Golden Tiger still needed demon honey, and he didn't know if it had started hunting.

He left a lot of demon honey to the Golden Tiger at the beginning, which should be enough for it to eat, and now the one-horned white tiger has not arrived in Qinghe Village to ask for demon honey, I am afraid that the Golden Tiger no longer needs demon honey to supplement nutrition, after all, meat is their staple food.

Chu He originally wanted to go to see the situation of Dijinhu, but now there are a lot of things in Qinghe Village, and seeing the war spreading, Chu He has no skills, so he can only press this thought.
