Chapter 133: Chapter 128: Queen Bee Promotion_i
Translator: 549690339
The only two situations that could cause such a huge commotion in a bee swarm are these:
either someone poked the entire beehive or the Queen Bee went through major changes.
The Queen Bee is the core of the entire bee swarm.
If it undergoes a big change, the entire swarm will become extremely agitated.
Qin Niu walked quickly towards the beehive, but he had barely gone far when he saw the dense bee swarm suddenly part to create a path.
Following that, a strange bee covered in dark green patterns flew over.
It was even larger than a Bear Bee.
When its wings beat, it was like four steel wings vibrating at a high frequency. The spikes on its six feet flashed with a chilling gleam. Its abdomen had become longer and wider.
The head, on the other hand, had become even more delicate and pretty.
It’s just that its jaws were like two sturdy, curved scythes, shining with the dark gloss of fine steel.
If it clamped down on something, even a large centipede would likely be split in two on the spot.
Following closely behind it were 46 Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees.
Further back were five Grade One Giant Wing Worker Bees flying in formation.
The rest were the older members of the bee swarm, countless Worker Bees and male bees flying together.
This momentum, this grandeur, was truly like an emperor on an inspection tour!
Qin Niu felt his blood boil as he watched.
At this moment, he actually envied the majesty of a honeybee.
Perhaps, every man harbors the dream of being an emperor in his heart!
“Master!”
The Queen Bee flew in front of Qin Niu, slowly descended, and then hovered in front of him.
The humming from its powerful wings was much stronger than that of a bumblebee.
“Good, you have finally evolved! Those who survive a great disaster are destined for good fortune afterward; I believe you will have a smooth journey from now on. I will continue to cultivate you to become stronger and stronger. It’s just… as a Queen Bee, why do you need such strong combat power? You should focus on enhancing your Breeding Skills!”
Qin Niu reached out with his right hand, and it gently landed in his palm, then lay still.
Just like that, looking up at Qin Niu.
The Queen Bee’s submission also made the entire bee swarm submit with it.
They were all worshipping their human master.
“Tsk, tsk, your skin layer has become so thick and even developed a metallic sheen—it seems you’ve successfully evolved a primary carapace!”
The evolutionary direction of this Queen Bee seemed to be mistaken, didn’t it?
He always felt there was something strange about it.
Whether it’s a Queen Bee or an Ant Queen, they never need to adventure or lead a charge in battle.
All they need to do is hide in a dark, deep nest that no one can find and then lay eggs like crazy, allowing countless descendants to fight the world for them.
This Queen Bee had seemed a bit odd from the moment he had subdued it.
It had an iron will, methods both cruel and fierce—it truly could be a king as well as a general on the battlefield.
He couldn’t wait to review its properties.

After reviewing its properties, Qin Niu felt a mix of surprise and complex emotions.
Initially, he had taken this Queen Bee hoping to consume Royal Jelly and even special high-quality honey.
Now it had directly evolved from a regular Queen Bee into a War Bee Queen Bee. I wonder if they have mutated?
Why are bees so belligerent?
He was thinking that once his strength was a bit stronger, he would take the Green Demon’s treasure.
Maybe he could even get a Green Demon Bee by chance.
Now, he probably didn’t need the Green Demon Bee to ensure his bees had considerable fighting power.
The lifespan of the Queen Bee had increased by 50 years, which was great.
For any insect, the greatest concern for Insect Masters was their lifespan.
There are hardly any insects with a long lifespan.
Another point that made Qin Niu particularly delighted was that the Queen Bee’s breeding skill had originally been Grade One, but it had now broken through to Grade Two, with the daily egg production increasing from ten to one hundred.
It meant he no longer had to worry about not enough bees.
Just after one year, the number of special worker bees he cultivated would exceed thirty thousand.
By then, there would definitely be enough ordinary honey.
He should also be able to enjoy one or two cups of royal jelly daily.
Anyway, the wish to raise bees for their honey was fulfilled.
What he needed to do next was to train these Grade Two worker bees to act as his scouts.
Unfortunately, there was not yet a bee like Fourth to serve as the chief commander among the swarm.
It’s easy to find troops, but hard to find a general!
An insect with both unique traits and average intelligence like Fourth was really rare.
“Return to the nest!”
Qin Niu temporarily had no other means to further cultivate the Queen Bee.
Thousand Eyes Tree Blood was good for termites, but it was a deadly poison for bees.
A little bit would kill.
The Queen Bee flapped its wings and took off, circling Qin Niu three times before returning to the nest.
“This little thing really values ritual!”
The entire bee swarm also returned to the nest with him.
It was obvious that as its grade and strength increased, its leadership within the bee swarm had also skyrocketed.
This feeling was perhaps exactly what the Queen Bee desired.
“Xiao Nui, let’s go home!”
Qin Niu called Xiao Nui to go home.
When he descended the mountain, he naturally brought back a batch of special termites.
Just one more day, and the number of his special termites would increase by nearly one hundred daily.
He was equally full of anticipation for what kind of evolution these new special termites could undergo.
By the time he and Xiao Nui arrived back in the village, it was already getting dark.
But it hadn’t yet turned to night.
“Master Qin! You’re back!”
“Thankyou, Master Qin, for helping us defend against the locusts!”
“You are the guardian deity of our village!”
All along the way, villagers voluntarily stepped aside and greeted him with respect, expressing their gratitude.
It hadn’t been like this before.
When they saw Qin Niu, they would hurriedly make way or avoid him from a distance.
This time, Qin Niu’s actions in helping the villagers fight against the locusts had initially won their hearts. People were willing to get closer to him, replacing mere reverence with a bit more familiarity.
This was also the human touch and warmth that should exist in the world.
Just as Qin Niu got home, Wang Furen and Xu Zhenchang came to visit together.
Although his house was not yet built, they only dared to ask to meet him from outside.
They didn’t dare to be presumptuous.
This was the majesty of an Insect Master.
