Lou Yi reacted in an instant, and began to get as close to the hive wall as possible, releasing a faint divine sense to measure the thickness of the hive wall, but to his despair, everything was as recorded in the bone book, the beeswax wall of the beehive was as hard as iron, and the thickness was dozens of zhang thick.

If he tries to break through a hole and escape, he will inevitably cause the entire hive to shake endlessly, and it is very likely that the hive will fall from the ancient redwood tree, and then the situation will not end as he expected.

He felt very depressed, and slowly moved along the bee wall, when there was a humming sound, and this sound filled all the passages around him, Lou Yi realized that maybe it was the smell that first filled the honey aroma, and gave an order to these returning soldier bees.

He realized that his current situation was a little dangerous, and looked up at the independent beehive above, Lou Yi sighed inwardly, and finally gave up, rather than obtaining the queen bee's egg, it was the right thing to go through the mountain worship ceremony.

With regret he began to return along the same path, but at the moment he was uneasy in his heart, not knowing what kind of difficulties would be on the way back, and he went down the passage back and down, obviously more difficult than climbing up.

However, he still climbed down calmly, but his heart was pounding along the way, and there was a feeling that he was experiencing a catastrophe of life and death, Lou Yi smiled self-deprecatingly and slowly exited the passage.

As a result, when he turned around, he found that there were dozens of times more soldier bees near the honey pool, and there were two huge drones hanging upside down at the top of the passage, and a pair of compound eyes were now examining the entire space.

Lou Yi felt the pressure for no reason, this pressure made his hair stand on end, he carefully estimated the thickness of the outer wall of the hive, and finally gave up the idea of breaking out of the wall, this is the place where the worker bees store honey, although the grade of beeswax is not as good as the hive, but it is also very hard.

If he wants to blast open the hive wall, he will have to be taken by surprise, but when he is present, he will be locked by these two drones, and once that happens, the situation will be embarrassing.

Lou Yi looked around and found that the passage he entered when he came had been blocked by the soldier bees at the moment, and it had become impossible to return the same way, Lou Yi asked himself helplessly, "What should I do? What else can I do?"

Suddenly, his afterglow swept to one of the corners, where there was a passage that was the same as where he was now, and Lou Yi also noticed a strange phenomenon, that is, there was also a similar honey pond under this passage.

But the nectar in it is very turbid, and it seems that there has been no new honey sent here for a long time, and what is more interesting is that those soldier bees are consciously away from the passage here, which makes Lou Yi notice something strange, and at the same time gives him a trace of the possibility of escaping from this place.

He moved with great care, leaving as little sound as possible, and he moved from swarm to swarm, almost moving close to them, and the sensation made his heart feel as if it were about to burst, and he had the illusion of running away.

But that's exactly what happened, after he managed to overcome the obstacles of the soldiers and bees, and finally came to the mouth of the passage next to the honey pool, when he suddenly smelled a strange smell, which was the sour smell of mold fermentation.

His brow furrowed for no apparent reason, it seemed that the soldiers had deliberately avoided this place, not to leave him an escape route, but to have something on this passage that worried them.

He subconsciously wanted to get into the passage, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of thin ropes in the passage above, and Lou Yi looked up and found a strange scene.

I saw that there was a barrier in this passage, which was a grid condensed with beeswax, which completely blocked the entire passage, and when you looked at the inside of the passage through the grid, you would find that there were a large number of five-ringed belly bees imprisoned in it, not only soldier bees and tending bees, but even many worker bees.

And they have a common feature, there are many brown dots on their bodies, densely crawling all over their bodies, Lou Yi retreated for no reason, but at this moment his face suddenly changed, and the moment he turned his head, he saw two drones and countless soldier bees, completely blocking his retreat.

Until now, he didn't know that he had actually been discovered from the beginning, and it should have been the breath that had been discovered that he was nothing, but at this moment, these drones and soldier bees could not find themselves, but just obeyed the orders of the mysterious breath to act.

So who is that mysterious breath, it seems that there is no need to guess, the only one who can command the soldier bees and even the drones is the queen bee of the hive, which is the only master of the entire hive.

Lou Yi sighed silently, released the hidden breath, and slowly appeared in front of the swarm, and an extremely terrible sense of oppression suddenly enveloped him.

Lou Yi waved his hand awkwardly and said, "Don't get excited! Don't be nervous! I'll stand here obediently and don't move, what do you want me to do?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in Lou Yi's mind, it sounded very weak, with a begging look in its voice, it said, "Please... Please... Help... Help... I... Target... Child... The children... ......."

Lou Yi looked up at the dome above, he knew that this voice came from the queen bee, but he didn't think that this voice would be so weak, he opened his mouth and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Enter... Enter the passage... Among them, elimination... Exterminate... Eliminate those... Harm... Worm ......," the voice said intermittently.

Lou Yi looked into the passage and saw the round brown spots on the backs of those five-ringed belly bees, it turned out that those were parasites, no wonder they looked a little familiar, Lou Yi suddenly thought of something, and muttered to himself, "It turned out to be bee mites......

At this time, he already understood what the other party wanted him to do, all the five-ringed belly bees in this passage should be infected with this bee mite, this thing is not dangerous to him, but it is fatal to the five-ringed belly bees.

Bee mites are a very terrible parasite, it is often born with the birth of the hive, mostly because when the worker bees go out to collect honey, they accidentally encounter the infection of other hive worker bees and bring them back to the hive, they have strong adaptability and fecundity.

They live around the hive, and they lay their eggs in the hive, which means that the survival rate of the offspring after their erosion will be greatly reduced, and it will cause the entire colony to weaken, resulting in a decrease in the ability of drones to reproduce, and even infect the queen.

Lou Yi suddenly understood something, the queen bee's life is inseparable from the hive, from the moment it was born, it is faced with the survival of the fittest, only the strongest female bee can become the queen of the entire bee colony, inherit everything from the hive, and other failed female bees can only be driven out of the hive and build a new hive on their own, this is the cruel law of nature.

Apparently the queen bees of this hive are also infected with bee mites, and it seems that the situation is not optimistic, these bee mites are actually equivalent to fleas and lice on humans, they are a group of vampires, constantly squeezing the energy from the five-ringed belly bee.

After Lou Yi figured it all out, he looked up and said, "I have a request, if I solve them, you have to promise to let me go safely!"

"Okay, I... I promise... Promise you!" the queen bee's voice said in his head.

"Please... Please... Fast... Hurry up, I... I don't have time... No more......" urged the queen bee.

Lou Yi took a deep breath, slowly lowered his head, looked around and said, "You can withdraw your hostility, you wait here, and leave the rest to me!"

A hint of sympathy flashed in Lou Yi's eyes, he knew what he would face after entering the hive, he would kill all the five-ringed belly bees infected with bee mites as quickly as possible, because they were hopeless.

However, he didn't go in immediately, but took out a large number of bottles and cans, and began to refine some kind of medicinal powder, the pungent smell made all the five-ringed belly bees instinctively retreat, Lou Yi realized something, and quickly took out a cloth array bead, blocking all the smells in the formation.

After getting ready, he had an extra bottle of liquid shining with colorful light in his hand, and after everything was ready, Lou Yi exuded a cold breath around his body, according to the records in the bone book, once bee mites occur, they need to reduce the temperature in the hive to make these guys move stiffly, so that they will not have a chance to escape, or parasitize somewhere else.

The potion in Lou Yi's hand is a potion prepared according to the formula recorded in the bone book, which is said to have a miraculous effect on bee mites, but he doesn't know whether it is really effective, everything has to be proved through practice.

There was a cold air around him, but the palm of his hand was extremely hot, and the liquid in the bottle was boiling at the moment, and a strange mist floated from the mouth of the bottle, this mist permeated around Lou Yi's body, although the smell was pungent, it would not hurt him much.

Lou Yi came to the reticulated beeswax, the five-ringed belly bees infected with bee mites were obviously panicked, they began to retreat one after another, Lou Yi saw that the brown dots stained on their bodies all woke up at this moment, and forced those infected five-ringed belly bees to stay away from Lou Yi's side.

Lou Yi raised a hand and slowly began to melt the beeswax blocking the passage, the process began to be a little slow, but as the temperature of Lou Yi's palm became higher and higher, when the flame began to glow with golden red light, the beeswax really began to flow like the wax oil after the candle burned.

After waiting for the right size of the passage, Lou Yi walked into the passage, and when he looked back, a Xuanying Ice Spirit emerged, turning into an ice crystal to close the passage again, and at the same time he poured out some of the liquid in the bottle, breaking through the ice crystal, and the pungent smell suddenly filled the entire passage, and those infected five-ring belly bees fled when they heard the wind.
