Chapter 114 The New Queen Bee

    This was a battle without any suspense.


    Birds are the natural predators of bees, and even the weakest of sparrows holds an overwhelming advantage against bees, posing no threat to them until their strength is exhausted. No matter how numerous the bees may be, they cannot threaten the birds until their energy is depleted.


    More than four hundred birds of various kinds formed a flying force, plunging into the forest andunching a one-sided ughter against the Bee Allied Army, which outnumbered them by a thousandfold.


    Just an hourter, the Bee Allied Army in therge forest hadpletely disintegrated, and tenrge hives housing Queen Bees were brought before Suming by the flock of birds, neatly lined up on the ground in a row.


    Considering that the Bee Allied Army would be his subordinates in the future, and that the strategy of beheading had already seeded, there was no need to kill the ordinary bees. Suming sounded the retreat to have the flock of birds temporarily leave the woods and stand guard near the hives to prevent the Bee Allied Army from attempting a recapture.


    Two Diamond Parrots tore open the hives with a peck and a bite, easily exposing the Queen Bees inside.


    The ordinary Queen Bees were entirely outssed by Suming''s Queen Bee, with thergest of the allied Queen Bees not exceeding the length of a cigarette pack, and the smallest about the size of a USB drive. Next to them, Suming''s Queen Bee seemed a giantpared to dwarves.


    Suming tested them with his spiritual power and found these wild Queen Bees to indeedck intelligence, reacting very weakly to the spiritual power and not even as evolved as the ordinary bees of the Su Army.


    In light of this, he had no intention of keeping these Queen Bees, to avoid future troubles, so he asked his own Queen Bee, "It''s up to you, how do you n to deal with them?"


    The Queen Bee''s tiny mandibles cked together a few times. The mandibles of ordinary bees have almostpletely evolved to be invisible, and though this Queen Bee, due to the spiritual power, has regrown some, they remained very small, appearing not at all ferocious but ratherical when waved around.


    "Eat them?" Suming was mildly surprised. Queen Bees feed on royal jelly, belonging to the herbivore category. When had this creature changed its diet and started eating meat?


    A few slightlyrger Asian Giant Hos buzzed over, circling above the allied Queen Bees, and Suming then understood what his Queen Bee meant. It wasn''t that she wanted to eat the rival Queen Bees herself but rather wanted the Asian Giant Hos to eat them.


    Before Suming''s arrival, the Asian Giant Hos had yed a significant role in the battle against the Bee Allied Army. Although they had not participated directly in all the fights, they staunchly defended the hives housing the Queen Bee, and had it not been for them, the numerically superior Bee Allied Army might have wiped out the Queen Bee long ago.


    Within the bee poption, the Queen Bee holds the highest status, growing by consuming royal jelly. Consequently, the ''nutritional value'' of a Queen Bee is the highest. The Su Army Queen Bee, by allowing the robust Asian Giant Hos to eat these enemy Queen Bees, was rewarding them.


    The social structure of the Asian Giant Hos is even moreplex than that of bees; they too have a Queen Bee, followed by drones and worker bees. When Suming subdued this group of Asian Giant Hos, his experience with spiritual power was still limited. Due to an oversight, he killed their Queen Bee andter, to ensure a supply of royal jelly for therge blue bees, gave all the royal jelly to the bee colony for quick recovery and production of a new Queen Bee, neglecting the Asian Giant Hos'' development.


    As a result, this group of Asian Giant Hos has yet to produce a new Queen Bee. Originally numbering only a few hundred, the swarm was powerful inbat but,cking a Queen Bee, was unable to reproduce, dwindling with the death of each ho. After several fierce battles, now fewer than a hundred and some Asian Giant Hos remained, perilously close to extinction.


    The intention of the Su Army Queen Bee was to give all the rival Queen Bees and the royal jelly from the hives to the Asian Giant Hos, allowing them to quickly produce a new Asian Giant Ho Queen Bee. In the future, the hos would continuously grow in numbers, staving off the danger of extinction.


    If there had been tens of thousands of Asian Giant Hos at that time, maybe the Queen Bee could have slowly devoured the Bee Allied Army without Suming''s help.


    "Huh, you''re quite clever! Let''s do exactly that!"


    After getting Suming''s approval, the returning Asian Giant Hos carried the captured Bee Allied Army''s queen bees and the broken beebs full of royal jelly back to their nests.


    Er Gouzi had been following Suming closely, busying himself before and after the saddle, and he also received a Bee Allied Army queen and arge chunk of the beehive as a reward. Usually harmless and docile in front of Suming, he now revealed his ferocious side. Pouncing on the queen bee the size of a lighter, he snapped the queen''s waist with a crunch and began to devour her rapidly.


    In the forest on the opposite side, the scattered Bee Allied Army showed signs of rallying. Their Queen Bees had been captured by Suming, and the remaining bees seemed to want toe to the rescue. However, with several hundred birds waiting sternly on Suming''s side, the leaderless Bee Allied Army was simply a mess and could not organize an effective attack. After several futile charges, they were easily defeated by Suming''s flock of birds.


    By the afternoon of the next day, the Bee Queen sent a message: a new Queen Bee had finally emerged among the Ho Swarm.


    Perhaps inheriting traits from the Su Army Queen Bee, the new Asian Giant Ho Queen Bee was about ten centimeters in length. Though not as terrifyingly sized as the original ho queen, she was still muchrger than the average ho queen.


    On the chest of the Ho Queen was arge patch of jet-like ck, and along her round waist were rings of dark, bizarre patterns, deep in color as if ink.


    Such Asian Giant Hos, with darker ck on their bodies, are more venomous. The patterns on ordinary hos are merely dark brown, while the newly-born Ho Queen clearly possesses a toxicity far superior to her kind.


    It can be foreseen that the offspring she will produce will also possess shocking venom.


    Suming tested her with his spiritual power and, unsurprisingly, the Ho Queen''s intelligence exceeded that of ordinary hos. It was on par with that of the newly-born Bee Queen, capable of simplemunication.


    Given this, he simply stayed in the valley for another day, nurturing the new Ho Queen with his spiritual power.


    By doing so, he inadvertently resolved the issues troubling the Bee Queen.


    The biggest problem for the Bee Queen was not finding anyone tomunicate with, leaving her lonely and isted. Now, the Ho Queen was her equal in ''social status'' and also possessed an intelligence not inferior to hers, making for suitablepanionship.


    Suming had been worried that the two queens might have conflicts due to their different species. Unexpectedly, after just half a day, the two queensmanded their subordinates to move their hives together. They even built a corridor between the entrances of each other''s hives, allowing direct ess to each other''s ''bedrooms'', clearly disying a tight-knit friendship.


    "Good, very good. You two sisters should get along well. As the saying goes, harmony in the family leads to prosperity in all things!" Suming said with heartfelt emphasis.
