Chapter 384: Subdue the Bee Swarm and Thunder Python Mutation [Subscribe]

Leaving Zhou Xindie outside to carefully survey the terrain and consider how to set up the formation, Zhou Chun walked into the cave in the mountain alone, taking the jade boxes that sealed the Sky Frost Bees.

He went deeper and deeper and soon arrived at the location of the Cold Spring Ice Cave.

Previously, Zhou Chun had raised ten snow crystal worms in this cold spring ice cave and found that they could live well here.

This gave him strong confidence in raising the Sky Frost Bees here.

After arriving at the ice cave, Zhou Chun put the other jade boxes aside, then picked one up and gently opened the lid.

As soon as the jade box was opened, the demon bee inside sensed the strong cold air outside and began to vibrate its wings, trying to take off.

But the sealing talisman attached to it emitted a faint white light and suppressed it inside the box. No matter how it flapped its wings, it could not fly.

For a strange insect like the Sky Frost Bee, all its abilities come from the "Sky Frost Cold Air" in its body. In terms of physique alone, its teeth or physical strength may not be as strong as the "Black Armor Golden Feather".

In the past few days, the Frost Bee had had all its cold air sucked out of its body by the Moon Toad Orb during its battle with Zhou Chun. It had been sealed and unable to absorb cold air from the outside to recover, so it naturally could not break free from the suppression of the sealing talisman.

Of course, what is more important is that the Sky Frost Bee in Zhou Chun's hand is not a mature demon insect, it is not even an adult, it is just a demon insect in the growth stage.

Zhou Chun stretched out his hand and caught the demon bee, holding it in his hand to examine it.

A golden light was faintly visible on his palm, and no matter how hard the demon bee opened its mouth to bite, it could not bite through that thin layer of golden light.

After carefully observing the demon bee, he frowned and couldn't help muttering to himself, "Something is wrong. The Sky Frost Bee recorded on the List of Strange Insects has eighteen blue stripes on its body and no black spots on its wings. How come this demon bee has only sixteen blue stripes and black spots on its wings?"

Could it be that the record on the list of strange insects is wrong?

Zhou Chun frowned, feeling confused.

This is not impossible. After all, the strange insects on the "List of Strange Insects of Heaven and Earth" were just compiled by the monks of Qianling Sect based on the information they collected, and they were not seen with their own eyes.

It is possible if there are some slight differences in appearance.

But Zhou Chun knew that there was actually another possibility.

That is, these demon bees are indeed not Sky Frost Bees, but hybrid demon bees born from the combination of Sky Frost Bees and other demon bees.

This kind of thing has happened before. The cultivators of Qianling Sect had found some demon insects with the blood of rare insects in heaven and earth. Although their strength was not as good as those on the list of rare insects, they were indeed much stronger than ordinary demon insects.

However, as far as Zhou Chun knew, ice-attribute demon bees were extremely rare. At least he had never heard of anyone discovering other ice-attribute demon bees in the territory of Yang State.

So this possibility does not seem high.

"By the way, look at that queen bee again!"

Zhou Chun suddenly thought of something, and immediately put the demon bee in his hand back into the jade box, covered it, and took out the jade box that sealed the queen bee.

The queen bee is very powerful, so in order to prevent it from breaking free from the seal, Zhou Chun attached several second-level sealing talismans to it.

Now, after he took out the queen bee, he began to count the blue stripes on its body.

"There are eighteen blue stripes. That's right, the queen bee is definitely the Sky Frost Bee!"

This result made Zhou Chun feel relieved.

Since the queen bee is a genuine Tianshuanghan bee, the offspring it produces must also be Tianshuanghan bees.

As for why there were two fewer blue stripes on the backs of those demon bees and some extra black spots on their wings, Zhou Chun estimated that the reasons were nothing more than two.

Either they enter adulthood or mature, then the two blue stripes will regenerate.

Or maybe their bloodlines have slightly degenerated.

Either way, it's not a big problem.

The degeneration of the demon insect's bloodline is not a big deal. Generally speaking, this situation occurs mostly as a last resort to adapt to the environment.

As long as it is provided with a good living environment, its bloodline can be purified again and return to its ancestral state.

If this group of Sky Frost Bees were allowed to develop naturally in the wild, it might be difficult for those demon bees with degenerated bloodlines to purify their bloodlines successfully.

But as long as Zhou Chun tames them, he will definitely collect various ice-attributed spiritual materials to feed them, helping them to purify their bloodlines and upgrade them to true Sky Frost Bees.

So after figuring out the situation, Zhou Chun also breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately took action and built a shelf above the cold spring with solid ice. Then he took out the giant thousand-year-old cold jade and placed it on the shelf, so that the honeycomb just covered the cold spring.

Then he took out the young bees and put them into the hive.

There are thirty-four young bees in total, and none of them can fly yet.

This shows how difficult it is to reproduce this strange insect, the Frost Bee.

You should know that the queen bee of an ordinary wasp colony can lay hundreds of eggs a day.

After observing the activities of the young bees in the hive and making sure that they were not uncomfortable with the new environment, Zhou Chun began to carve a contract array to make the young bees recognize their master.

The infancy of any demon beast or demon insect is the best stage for them to form a contract and recognize their master.

The monsters and insects at this stage are just like a two or three year old child, like a blank sheet of paper, with no consciousness of resistance at all.

Zhou Chun used some food as bait and easily reached a contract with the thirty-four young bees.

However, it takes too long for young bees to grow into adults, which cannot meet Zhou Chun’s short-term needs.

Therefore, after he contracted the young bees, he set his sights on the queen bee.

The queen bee is the brain and ruler of the bee colony. As long as Zhou Chun subdues the queen bee, the entire bee colony can be used by him.

However, the queen bee is a mature frost bee, a third-level demon insect. It is extremely difficult to subdue it.

Zhou Chun could only try his best.

He put the queen bee on the ground, and with a wave of his hand, he removed all the sealing talismans on her body.

As soon as the sealing talisman was removed, the queen bee, which was like a dead object on the ground, flapped its wings and instantly turned into a white shadow and pounced towards the hive.

Obviously in its mind, the beehive is always the safest place.

Zhou Chun did not stop it and let it fall onto the beehive.

After the queen bee returned to the hive, she began to absorb the cold air here, as if she wanted to restore her strength first.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately took out a large piece of monster meat, cut it into pieces, and threw the pieces onto the beehive.

The queen bee was not polite at all. After smelling the fragrance of the food, she quickly flew out to eat.

After eating a few bites, it began to take on the work of a worker bee, cutting up food and feeding it to the young bees.

Zhou Chun knew that all this was actually controlled by the queen bee's instinct.

Normally, it is the worker bees and drones that guard the safety of the bee colony, and the queen bee only needs to hide in the nest to reproduce. But now that the worker bees and drones are gone, the queen bee has to take care of her children and find food by herself, and even take on the task of protecting the young bees and the hive.

For the queen bee, as long as her life is not threatened, the first thing to do is to feed the young bees well and let them grow into worker bees that can hunt and protect her as soon as possible.

Zhou Chun wanted to use this to increase his success rate in conquering the queen bee.

He first gave the queen bee food again, and then gave it time to recover.

After some "heavenly frost" condensed in the queen bee's body, he made moves to threaten the hive, forcing the queen bee to fight him.

Needless to say, the result of the battle was that the queen bee, who had recovered less than half of her strength, was easily defeated by Zhou Chun.

After defeating the queen bee, Zhou Chun tried to make a contract with her.

The result was of course a failure.

As a "punishment", Zhou Chun took two young bees away from the hive and arranged for them to be raised separately in another place.

After a few more days, when the queen bee had recovered some strength, Zhou Chun once again stimulated it to fight with him, and won again.

Then he repeated his previous actions, first making a contract with the queen bee, and when the contract failed, he took away the two young bees.

He repeatedly pulled and yanked the queen bee and took away her young bees, causing the queen bee to develop a strong fear of him.

Later on, even after they smell his scent, they will begin to hide uneasily in the depths of the hive.

The emergence of this situation cheered up Zhou Chun, knowing that his plan was about to succeed.

So he changed the rules slightly and waited for more than two months, until the queen bee's body was almost full of "heavenly frost cold air", before stimulating it to fight with him again.

In this battle, because the Queen Bee was too powerful, she successfully triggered the Moon Toad Orb to automatically protect its master.

Not only did the queen bee have all the cold energy that she had worked so hard to condense in her body sucked away by the gem, but she was also knocked unconscious by the strange roar that sounded like a cow's roar or a frog's croak.

After it woke up, Zhou Chun took the opportunity to sign a contract with it. As expected, it worked in one go, and he successfully tamed it and made it his spiritual pet.

Once you tame the queen bee, things become easy.

Zhou Chun had the queen bee in his hand, and he used the queen bee to command the other bees. Soon he signed contracts with all the other demon bees.

Under the suppression of the queen bee's orders, even the three male bees that had reached maturity in the hive were unable to resist Zhou Chun's contract.

By comparing the demon bees in the three stages of maturity, adulthood and growth in the bee colony, Zhou Chun quickly confirmed one thing.

The demon bee with only sixteen blue stripes on its body is actually a demon bee with degenerated bloodline.

As long as a demon bee can reach maturity, its bloodline will be purified and it will transform into a true Sky Frost Bee.

What made Zhou Chun happy was that after he communicated with the queen bee, the queen bee clearly stated that the current environment made her and her tribe feel more comfortable and liked it than the previous environment. The cold air emitted by the cold spring was also very helpful for them to condense the "heavenly frost cold air".

This favorable environment is likely to improve the degeneration of the bee colony's bloodline, or even stop it completely.

So Zhou Chun left the bee colony in the ice cave and let them go out to find food on their own.

With the strength of the bee colony, even if they encounter a third-level monster, their chances of winning are very high.

Therefore, Zhou Chun is not worried about their safety.

Next time when he needs the bee colony, he can just come and take it away.

This not only does not hinder the growth of the bee colony, but also gives him an extra trump card that others don't know about.

Not long after Zhou Chun tamed the bee colony, the Zhou family received news of Lu Ran's death.

"Before his death, the high priest asked Wukulu to pass these two instruments to Daoist Zhou. He said Daoist Zhou was a believer and hoped that Daoist Zhou could bury his body in the place where he was born!"

In the base of the Black Spear Tribe of the Scaled Frog alien race, when Zhou Chun came here on behalf of the Zhou family to mourn the deceased Lu Ran, the chief elder of the tribe, Ukulu, took out two relics left by Lu Ran and gave them to him.

He was very familiar with these two relics. One was the "Red Dragon Dagger" magic weapon that Lu Ran used to kill the guardian of the Golden Dragon Hall of the Hualong Sect when he and Lu Ran first met. The other was a red gem magic weapon that was also used by Lu Ran during his lifetime.

This kind of magical weapon of immortal cultivators cannot be controlled by the alien warlocks of the Scaled Frog race, and it seems that Lu Ran has no intention of bringing them into the tomb.

Now giving it to Zhou Chun can be regarded as a conclusion of the fate between the two.

As for Lu Ran's final request, Zhou Chun would of course help him complete it.

Lu Ran had already mentioned this before he died. He did not want to be buried in the Scaled Frog Alien Tribe, but wanted to be buried in a mountain city below the ruins of the Red Dragon Hall of the former Dragon Transformation Sect.

From this point alone, it can be seen that Lu Ran has always regarded himself as a human being in his heart, and does not have much sense of belonging to the scaly frog alien race.

“Don’t worry, fellow Daoist Wukulu. Zhou will bury Senior Lu’s body properly.”

Zhou Chun took the two magic weapons and made a promise to Ukulu with a solemn expression.

The two then exchanged some information related to future trade between the two tribes, and Zhou Chun took Lu Ran's body and left the Black Spear Tribe.

A few days later, Zhou Chun appeared near the ruins of the former Red Dragon Hall.

Although several decades have passed, the Dragon Transformation Sect still has no intention of reopening this site, and a fourth-level monster has also come to the mountain.

In order not to alarm the fourth-level monster, Zhou Chun did not dare to make too much noise. After finding the ruins of the mountain city that Lu Ran had mentioned, he buried his body there.

"Senior Lu, I have fulfilled your last wish. I hope you can be reincarnated as a human in your next life and embark on the path of immortality again!"

In front of the new grave made of bluestone, Zhou Chun poured a few cups of wine in front of the grave, completing the worship of the owner inside.

This may very well be the last worship the tomb owner can enjoy after being buried.

After paying tribute to Lu Ran, Zhou Chun returned to his family.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the gate of Jiufengling Mountain, he suddenly had a strong feeling.

So he, who had originally planned to go to the cave on the top of the mountain to meet Zhou Mingde, immediately changed his mind and went to his own residence first.

When he opened the gate of his residence, a huge silver-white snake head appeared in front of him.

"Oh, Baibai, are you awake?"

Zhou Chun smiled slightly and was about to reach out to touch the snake head in front of him.

But suddenly, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, his eyes suddenly focused and looked towards the top of the snake's head.

I saw that the bulge on the top of the snake's head had disappeared at some point, and was replaced by a silver horn about a foot long.
