Chapter 93: Queen Bee Mutates!

Qi Ping has set up a total of fifty combinations of recipes for brewing lark honey.

"With so many combinations, we should be able to find a combination that can completely cover up the characteristics of the larkspur."

After configuring these combinations and handing them over to the brewer Big-bellied Bee, Qi Ping began to study the issue of bee colony breeding.

This month, Qi Ping has bred about two thousand new mature bees, which is still far from the scale of Qi Ping's ten thousand fighting bees and three thousand brewer's big-bellied bees.

The reason why the bee colony breeding speed is slower than expected is not because of Qi Ping's blood ginseng breeding speed, but because of the limitation of the queen bee's strength.

There is only a first-level intermediate queen bee. Although the offspring she gives birth to can continue the more powerful bloodline of the drone, her egg-laying rate is only seventy to eighty eggs a day.

In the past, because Qi Ping’s speed in cultivating spiritual medicines was limited, the queen bee’s egg-laying speed was still greater than Qi Ping’s speed in cultivating spiritual medicines.

In addition, considering that the queen bee plays a big role in the stability of the bee colony, and the bee colony had no intention of replacing the queen bee, Qi Ping did not consider replacing the queen bee.

Qi Ping also had another idea in his mind, that is, there were many records of insect swarms with queens like bees in the demon insect breeding manual, and there were even special instructions on the issue of replacing the queen of the swarm.

For the queen of the insect swarm, the answer given in the Demon Insect Breeding Manual is that it is best not to change!

Because the more powerful the spirit beast, the more difficult it is for its queen to be born, which plays an extremely important role in the stability of the insect swarm and has extraordinary significance.

However, after the male insect successfully transforms, the queen's strength will begin to lag behind that of the male insects. This is a very common problem in insect swarm breeding.

After all, no Insect Tamer would dare to gamble with the Zerg Queen on the tiny probability of transformation, because the birth of the Zerg Queen is too difficult. Even if the birth is successful, the integration with the original Zerg swarm will be a very big problem.

Therefore, in this situation, the best option is to give the Zerg Queen the best resources and wait for the Queen to achieve her own transformation and promotion!

There are many successful cases of queens achieving self-transformation and promotion.

Moreover, this self-promotion to the Zerg Queen can enhance the bloodline of the entire Zerg swarm again, which is much better than directly giving birth to a new Zerg Queen!
Because of the special nature of the Zerg Queen's bloodline, the success rate of her metamorphosis is inherently higher.

Therefore, once a male Zerg transforms into a higher-level existence, when these male Zergs with stronger bloodlines make the Zerg Queen pregnant, the Zerg Queen can absorb part of the high-level bloodline power of the eggs as nutrients to nourish her own bloodline in the process of nurturing her offspring.

In this case, as long as the Zerg Queen herself is qualified enough and provided with enough high-level resources, there is a high probability that the Queen Bee will achieve transformation and promotion.

Once this Zerg Queen completes her promotion, she will allow the Zerg bloodline to maintain the highest stability.

Especially in some Zerg swarms where multiple male Zerg have completed metamorphosis and promotion, these Zerg queens may become more powerful than the Balance Zerg after promotion.

The offspring born from such a Zerg Queen will have a much higher chance of transforming again than ordinary Balance Zergs, and their potential will be even greater.

This is the most important reason why Qi Ping has never considered replacing the queen bee!

He has also been asking the brewer big-bellied bee to brew the best royal jelly for the queen bee to consume, in the hope that the queen bee can complete the transformation of her bloodline as quickly as possible.

However, due to the limited speed of the explosion of troops in this month, Qi Ping had to take the cultivation of a new queen bee into consideration.
But at this moment, something happened that surprised Qi Ping!
At this moment, the queen bee stood quietly on a stone, her body covered with rich spiritual energy, and the pressure of her aura was constantly increasing.

This is a unique pressure from the queen bee, which is far beyond the reach of an ordinary drone promotion.

Around the queen bee, thousands of bees surrounded the entire mountain and all entered the highest state of alert.

Qi Ping felt the special pressure from the queen bee and was secretly frightened. The pressure and momentum of the queen bee's promotion were indeed far beyond the reach of ordinary bees.

However, rather than being shocked, Qi Ping felt more surprised at this moment!

What a huge surprise!
"Finally promoted!" This means that the bloodline of this queen bee is definitely not bad!
Moreover, this queen bee can be promoted once, which means that as long as the drones are successfully bred in the future and sufficient high-level resources are provided, the probability of being promoted again will be much greater than that of a queen bee that has not been promoted.

This is also one of the reasons why the Demon Insect Breeding Manual strongly recommends allowing the Zerg Queen to promote herself.

"After today, we no longer have to worry about the speed of our troops' explosion."

For a queen bee who has been promoted to the first-level advanced bloodline, it is definitely not a problem to increase the speed of troop explosion by four or five times.

Qi Ping was not too worried about the promotion of the queen bee.

Because the queen bee's physical fitness has reached a very solid and strong level due to being fed with the best royal jelly.

In addition, the breath during the promotion process is stable and the transformation process is extremely smooth, so Qi Ping is not too worried about whether this queen bee can be promoted successfully.

What Qi Ping is more concerned about now is how much the queen bee can surpass the equilibrium after the metamorphosis.
"The queen bee should have absorbed enough high-level blood power during the gestation process, including the blood power of the high-speed ring-cutting bee, the magic armor bee, the poisonous bee, the balanced bee, and the brewer's big-bellied bee."

"I wonder how much of these five bloodline powers the Queen Bee can absorb."

In fact, how many excellent characteristics can be swallowed and integrated into the blood depends on the queen bee's own qualifications.

The better the qualifications of the queen bee, the stronger her ability to integrate the excellent characteristics in her bloodline.

The more excellent bloodline characteristics the queen bee incorporates, the higher the overall potential of herself and the hive will be in the future.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the more excellent bloodlines the queen bee absorbs, the better. According to the data recorded in the demon insect breeding manual, it is most appropriate for the Zerg queen to devour three to seven excellent bloodlines, and the metamorphosis will be better.

This is why some insect cultivators, even if they have mutated dozens of drone species, will only choose three to seven species to cultivate.

As for Qi Ping's five mutant bee species, perhaps because of the talent of [Beast King's Blessing], except for the balanced bee which is just average, the overall transformation of the other five species is actually very good.

The blade wings of a high-speed ring-cutting bee.

The defense, strength, and bite force of the Black Scorpion Wasp.

The venom of the venomous bee.

The honey-making ability of the Brewer's Bee.

All four abilities are excellent.

"You are the queen bee blessed by the king of beasts. The metamorphosis of ordinary male bees is so excellent. You can't be worse as a queen bee, right?" Qi Ping secretly cheered for the queen bee.

"But no matter what, the ability to make honey must be inherited!"

Compared to offensive ability, the ability to make honey is what Qi Ping is most looking forward to.

Because the probability of Qi Ping's transformation again in the combat bee colony is very high, but the probability of cultivating another second-level brewer bee is very low.

Whether it's blade wings, ink armor or poison, they are highly replaceable as means of attack. These characteristics are excellent, but they are not indispensable.

However, Qi Ping really couldn't think of any alternative characteristics of the honey-making ability of the brewer bee.

Just as Qi Ping was anxiously waiting, the queen bee finally completed the final transformation after six hours of transformation. At this moment, a unique and powerful pressure burst out from the queen bee!
