Chapter 323: Mutant Hive and Symbiotic Relationship
[Mutated bees detected, the monster encyclopedia has been updated. 】
It’s a bee indeed!
【Name: Mutated Bee】
[Type, ordinary creature]
[Danger Factor: 80]
[Drop: Defeating mutant bees will drop their stingers, harvesting mutant beehives will yield pure natural mutant honey, and capturing the mutant queen bee alive will yield an entire mutant bee colony! 】
[Weakness: Fire]
[Tip: Mutated bees are good in every way, every part of their body is a treasure! 】
Isn't it a treasure?
Wen Ning grinned. The tail sting can be used to make weapons, and honey is an essential raw material for various delicacies and medicines.
Don't let it go easily!
The little cat man brought Wen Ning to a silver fir forest. There was a thin mist in the forest and a thick layer of leaves on the ground.
There are some bushes and withered weeds around.
The mutant bee that Wen Ning had just discovered was flying over his head towards the depths of the bushes.
"It was this poisonous bee that stung Xia!"
Ma Fei shouted excitedly.
Wen Ning snapped his fingers and a war robot appeared beside him.
"You send Ma Fei back to the territory."
"Yes, Master."
The war robot lifted Ma Fei up in front of her surprised gaze.
He placed it in his arms and then walked into the territory.
Ma Fei was very surprised by this treatment, but he did not forget Wen Ning's safety.
"My Lord, you must pay attention to your safety!"
Of course Wen Ning would pay attention to safety.
She directly set her shield to the normally on state. Na Su's transformation technology is really top-notch, and her crystal armor is already of perfect quality.
In addition to the round shield state during combat, the shield can also be opened into a nano-cover state during normal times.
If these poisonous bees do not have any special abilities, they only need to adjust the shield strength to the lowest.
It's enough to resist their tail sting.
The lowest intensity can last for 24 hours.
Wen Ning carefully followed the mutant bee and walked about 500 meters deep into the woods. Wen Ning watched the mutant poisonous bee fly towards a huge red-bristled tree.
Looking up, at a height of about 40 meters from the ground, this tree with countless red flowers blooming has become a paradise for the entire bee colony.
Wen Ning was familiar with this tree. Its bright crimson flowers bloomed on trees that were seventy or eighty meters tall. The flowers were very similar to lotus flowers, and they loved light and fertile soil.
Cold resistance is one of its characteristics.
The crown of the tree stretches out for nearly a hundred meters, snatching away all the sunlight in this area.
This is also a mutant tree, and the fragrance of its flowers has an addictive effect.
Wen Ning realized it as he approached, and the Heart Purification Mantra sounded in his mind.
Wen Ning muttered to himself as he looked at the swarm of mutant bees.
They go in and out of a giant two-meter-long beehive hanging on the huge branches of the red bract tree.
Each mutated poisonous bee is the size of a thumb, and the low buzzing sound is like the roar of a fighter jet.
The rumbling sound makes people afraid to get close.
Wen Ning was not afraid of being stung, mainly because the beehive was too close to the center of the red bract tree.
The closer you get to the center, the stronger the scent of pollen will be, and by then even the Heart Purifying Mantra might not be able to resist the hallucinogenic effect of this tree.
Moreover, Wen Ning saw the corpses of many animals under the tree, probably they were stung to death by these mutant bees.
The bees and the red bract tree clearly have a symbiotic relationship.
The mutated bees collect nectar from the red bract tree to produce honey, and then the red bract tree transmits the scent of honey mixed with the fragrance of flowers.
Animals that like to eat nectar and honey are attracted, and then the mutated honey attacks in groups.
It is estimated that no animal can resist the attack of thousands of bees.
After an animal dies, its body will be wrapped and absorbed by the roots of the red bract tree.
Wen Ning observed for a long time and found that animals were occasionally passing through the surrounding woods.
But the area under this red-bud tree is clean and tidy, without even any extra weeds.
There were only some undigested animal skins and bones.
Another key point is that the flowers of this red-bristle tree are so lush that the mutant bees have no reason to go elsewhere to find food.
And except for the bee that just flew back, Wen Ning did not see any swarms of bees.
So, all of this is a trap, just like now, as long as Wen Ning does not step into the range of the red bract tree, these bees will not attack her.
Wen Ning thought of a possibility, so he reached behind his back and waved his hand quietly.
A detection drone was released, and Wen Ning controlled it with his mind to break into the range of the red bract tree.
In an instant, a buzzing sound was heard, and a group of bees like a black cloud broke away from the hive and directly surrounded the drone.
Attacking madly.
Wen Ning could hear the sound of a bee's stinger piercing the drone's pure metal shell.
It's both piercing and heartbreaking. The stinger of this mutant bee is really hard. No wonder it can be used as a weapon.
"Hiss! Kill him!"
Wen Ning silently increased the strength of his shield to avoid accidental injury.
"What should I do?"
Wen Ning frowned in difficulty and took back the detection drone.
After leaving the range of the red bract tree, the mutant bee colonies stopped chasing and returned to their nests.
Wen Ning supported her chin as she thought about a countermeasure. What she wanted was not the stinger of this mutant bee, nor a little bit of honey.
The entire population.
But to get this population alive you have to catch the queen bee.
There are at least a hundred thousand mutant bees in this hive, and it is such a big hive.
Is it going to be destroyed?
Wen Ning felt a little reluctant, so how could he get the queen bee without destroying these things?
"Got it! Just take the whole thing away!"
Wen Ning took out a piece of cloth from his backpack. It was made by Loli using yellow rattan wood thread.
It is very strong and large and should be able to cover the entire hive.
Most importantly, it is waterproof and breathable, and its density will not allow mutant bees to escape, making it very suitable for current usage conditions.
Wen Ning stretched out his hand and waved slightly, and four identical drones appeared.
Wen Ning fixed the four corners of the yellow rattan cloth to the bottom of the drone.
Then he used his mind to control the drones and flew them in.
The bees swarmed out again.
These bees will definitely not give up if we only capture the hive and the queen.
If Wen Ning brings the beehive back to the territory by then, the people in the territory will probably be in trouble.
Wen Ning's eyes rolled and a plan came to mind.
Pull out an ordinary crossbow arrow.
Shoot towards the bottom of the mutant bee hive.
"puff!"
The bottom of the mutant beehive was instantly cut by the sharp crossbow arrow, and a large amount of honey and the hard-working bees inside fell out.
The honey is transparent but bright red, and you can tell at first glance that it is high-quality honey.
After all, the red-bristle tree spent a lot of money to get these mutant bees to work for it.
When their homes are destroyed, pheromones are quickly released among the bee colony, and the news soon spreads to the entire colony.
The swarm that had attacked the drones all returned to defend, and Wen Ning observed that the time had come.
So he raised an electromagnetic gun and replaced the bullets with freezing bullets.
He aimed at the connection at the top of the hive and pulled the trigger.
It hit accurately and froze the connection between the honeycombs.
The electromagnetic effect caused the mutant bees around to be electrocuted to death.
There was a crackling sound of explosions.
A large group of aggressive mutant bees fell instantly, and Wen Ning struck the connection point of the hive again.
The beehive broke and fell into the big net that the drone had already spread out!
