Chapter 35: On the Social Class of the Ruby Blood Bee
These people, who react more slowly after encountering a swarm of bees, will at least have their skin peeled off. They will be surrounded by red jade blood bees and suck out a lot of blood. Their whole bodies will be covered in painful and itchy bites.
Yes, it is just that the blood is sucked, the person does not die, and for warriors whose physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people, it will not affect much mobility.
After all, Jiang Yan is also a member of the human race. He still has a human conscience. He cannot kill people casually when there is no need and no hatred, even if it is not done by himself.
hand, but the instigator has nothing to do with him.
The reason why the Ruby Blood Bee was allowed 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 Ruby Blood Bee, which would only cause him trouble.
A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!
The value of the ruby blood crystal is not small, and it will inevitably attract the covetous attention of Xiao Xiao. Jiang Yan is still young, so he has no choice but to do this in order to keep it secret.
After wandering in the depths of the black wood forest for a long time, when most of the red jade blood bees had harvested their full harvest, Jiang Yan called back all the bees outside and let them digest the harvest of this round of hunting and harvest all as soon as possible.
They are all converted into blood crystals and well preserved.
He will stop, on the one hand, because the bee swarms that are out hunting for food have already harvested their full harvest, and on the other hand, because all the creatures in this area have been slaughtered by the bee swarms, and there will not be much profit if he continues.
, it’s better to stop fixing it.
Jiang Yan urged the red wildebeests under him to find an ancient black bark tree with dense branches to rest. He dismounted with his luggage and backpack, and after placing the hive in the tree, he ordered the red jade blood bees to send out a group of worker bees.
This tree served as the center for patrols and daily feeding of the swarm, and allowed the red wildebeest and black iron eagle to roam freely nearby. Then I hung up the hammock, lay down on it, hung up the computer to practice, and closed my eyes to rest and recover.
The amount of mental energy I have consumed today.
The harsh sunlight at noon was completely blocked by the branches of the big trees. The occasional breeze in the woods brought a fresh and natural scent of vegetation, which made Jiang Yan feel very comfortable.
In his spare time, he was feeling bored and looked at the Jade Bee above him, which followed his orders and flew over to him every once in a while, grabbing a blood crystal and delivering it to him. He suddenly became interested and began to study it.
The group attributes of these ruby blood bees.
The Ruby Blood Bee is a socially gregarious insect-type beast, and the members of the entire colony are divided into four levels: larvae, worker bees, soldier bees, and queen bees.
The larvae can only be reproduced by the queen bee herself and are at the bottom of the bee colony, but they are an essential part of the development and growth of the entire bee colony.
The larvae of the Red Jade Blood Bee have very weak combat power. They look similar to ordinary bee larvae, except that they are smaller in size and inherit the consistent characteristics of the group. They look like translucent white jade, unlike ordinary bee larvae.
The kind that gives people a slimy look.
In addition to the telepathic talent shared by the bee colony, the larvae also have two special abilities: "autonomous dormancy" and "directed development." "Autonomous dormancy" allows the larvae to take the initiative when the bee colony does not need them to hatch and grow.
Entering a dormant state is used to reduce consumption; "directed development" allows the larvae to actively choose to develop into worker bees or soldier bees in the colony according to the needs of the population. If conditions are met, they can even choose to develop into queen bees.
The evolution of the bee swarm race also relies on the "directed development" ability of the larvae. There is a very small probability that the larvae will mutate during the development process and produce different developments. There may even be bee species with new abilities. If these developments are
If it is beneficial to the bee colony, it will be included by the queen bee and integrated into her own reproductive system, so that the queen bee's new offspring will have such abilities.
Just in case, the bee colony usually prepares a certain number of dormant larvae. They will be dormant most of the time and will only be awakened when needed.
Worker bees are the largest level in the entire bee colony, accounting for more than 90% of the population. They are responsible for a series of tedious tasks such as patrolling the colony, foraging, production, nest building, cleaning, and caring for offspring and the queen bee. In normal times,
It will also undertake most of the combat missions.
The combat effectiveness of individual worker bees is not high, not even the first level acquired. But as long as they gather in numbers, even the tenth level acquired alien beasts will not dare to underestimate them.
In addition to the swarm sensing ability, worker bees also have two special abilities, which are "bee venom" used to increase attack and killing capabilities, and "bee venom" used to devour prey and refine and transform it in the body to process it into higher quality
The "crystallization" of food.
Ruby blood crystals, a rare treasure comparable to elixirs, are extracted by worker bees using their "crystal refining" ability.
The soldier bees further up are the specialized elite combat members of the bee swarm. Their swarm mind telepathy talent is different from that of larvae and worker bees. It is a higher level of "swarm mind". This talent allows
Soldier bees have the authority to command and mobilize other worker bees and larvae, just like captains and generals in the hive kingdom.
Soldier bees are not responsible for production. Their main responsibility is to protect the population and fight against powerful enemies that are difficult for worker bees to deal with. The remaining two abilities they possess are mostly for fighting.
"Fighting Instinct" gives Soldier Bees innate and excellent fighting consciousness and skills. It is the result of countless warriors in the Ruby Blood Bee population 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. It is similar to the "crystal refining" of worker bees. The difference is that the soldier bees refine poison that is used to kill the enemy.
Using this ability, the soldier bees can not only secrete toxins independently, but also actively collect toxins from the outside world and send them into the body for refining.
In addition, soldier bees can also choose the type of poison they want to refine, such as poison that paralyzes prey and is used to capture the target, and poison that dissolves the enemy's body and is used to kill the target. They can be selectively refined according to their needs.
If necessary, the "bee venom" of the worker bees can also be poisoned by the soldier bees using their own "poison refining" ability.
Because they are often accompanied by poisons, the soldier bees themselves have high toxin resistance. They can also extract antibodies with opposite properties based on the ingested toxins to counteract them, acting as detoxification doctors in the population. This ability is similar to that of the worker bees.
"Refining Crystal" is particularly valued by Jiang Yan, because it means that if he is poisoned in the future, he can also use the red jade blood bees to detoxify it.
Even if there is no guarantee of 100% removal of any toxins, for example, the toxins cast by poisons whose levels are much higher than those of the Ruby Blood Bee are difficult for them to remove, but this is still an additional method.
The final queen bee does not need to produce or fight. Her main responsibility is to lead the bee colony and reproduce offspring. The "Queen Will", "larval reproduction" and "reproductive phagocytosis" in its software ability column are also for this purpose.
"Queen Bee Will" is a direct reflection of the status of the Ruby Blood Queen Bee in the population. None of her subjects can disobey her orders. If necessary, she can unite all the Ruby Blood Bees under her command to launch mental attacks on the enemy.
attack.
"Laval reproduction" is a manifestation of the queen bee's ability to reproduce offspring. As long as sufficient energy is provided, an adult queen bee can give birth to thousands of larvae in an hour.
"Reproductive phagocytosis" means that the queen bee can devour its own excellent offspring. In this way, it absorbs the excellent ability genes of the offspring and adds them to itself, so that its newly bred offspring will also obtain this excellent gene, thus allowing
The race evolves in a better direction.
The Ruby Blood Bee has no gender distinction. The offspring are all unilaterally reproduced by the queen bee. Its ability to "reproductive phagocytosis" is combined with the benign mutation triggered during the "directed development" of the larvae. It is the Ruby Blood Bee that
For countless years, this race has been the key to evolving from an ordinary insect to a ferocious and exotic beast that everyone talks about.
