Chapter 307: Chapter 300: A Feather Can Be Used As a Token of Authority_1

“`

The Summoning Bee had an exceptionally strong ability to fly, and another special ability was to rally.

It could even summon members of its own species that were three grades higher than itself.

This ability was seriously badass.

It was like commanding the winds and clouds with a mere feather duster.

Qin Niu reviewed its attributes.

Green-Head Summoning Bee

Grade: Grade Three Hymenopteran Insect, Level-up Experience 2719/10000

Lifespan: 30 Years

Energy: 18900

Skills: Advanced Flight (capable of high-speed flight, faster than birds. Can quickly turn and roll in the air, nimbly dodging), Rally (Can summon Steel-winged Poison Bees within a 500-meter radius, unable to summon poison bees more than three grades above itself for combat)

Talent: Night Vision, Discernment (Can see through enemy disguises)

This was the most badass wild bee Qin Niu had ever seen.

Despite being utterly weak, it had the ability to summon an army to fight for it.

To subdue this Green-Head Summoning Bee, he had used up three Intermediate Contract Talismans.

He needed to make a trip to the city soon to replenish supplies.

What he most wanted to stock up on were Invisibility Talismans and Advanced Contract Talismans.

He had bought ten Intermediate Contract Talismans last time and still had quite a few left. Just a moderate replenishment would suffice.

With his current strength, ordinary low-grade insects and beasts hardly caught his eye. Therefore, he seldom needed to use Low-grade Contract Charms.

“Green-Head Bee, come here!”

Qin Niu gave an order to the Green-Head Summoning Bee, and it buzzed over with a flutter of its wings.

“This insect carcass is your reward; eat it.”

It was the body of a Grade Six Steel-winged Wild Bee.

Qin Niu had obtained many such bee commander corpses in the wild.

Green Demon Bees and Steel-winged Wild Bees, even including wild common hornets, were omnivorous creatures.

Their favorite food was bee pupae and larvae.

When food was scarce, the carcasses of small animals were also within their range of diet.

There was even a record of large hornets collectively preying on small birds.

Ordinary large hornets were already extremely fierce, but Steel-winged Wild Bees cultured multiple times by Green Demons were even more ferocious.

Despite the Green-Head Summoning Bee’s combat power being trash, it was still as ferocious as a wolf and as fierce as a tiger when eating.

It skillfully used its mandibles to dissect the carcass of its kin.

Moreover, it was not picky at all, which made it much easier to raise than honeybees.

“Let me spice it up for you.”

Qin Niu showed a mischievous smile and added a drop of Ancient Banyan Tree Blood to the food of the Green-Head Summoning Bee.

The dosage was carefully calculated based on the bee’s weight and physical condition.

As long as there were no accidents, the dosage was definitely safe.

The Green-Head Summoning Bee seemed to notice something off in the taste, but it didn’t stop feeding; instead, it ate even more ferociously and rapidly.

By the time it finished eating, its body had already begun to react strongly, swelling continuously.

It was in pain as it flapped its wings chaotically around the courtyard.

Qin Niu had captured two Green-Head Summoning Bees in total, and he had prepared for the worst.

If this one died, he still had another one to use.

On the other hand, if this Green-Head Bee successfully advanced, even if it only made it to Grade Four, it meant it would have the power to summon Grade Seven wild bees for combat.

Grade Seven was a watershed.

A Grade Six insect, if only slightly outstanding in strength and with decent special abilities, could easily annihilate a human Acquired Realm master. Some even had the capability to fight against Innate Realm powerhouses.

Upon reaching Grade Seven, they were already beyond ordinary insects; they were fully capable of challenging human Innate Realm powerhouses.

Even just with sufficient numbers and strong special abilities, they could basically crush an ordinary Innate Realm human.

“`

For example, Elder Jiu Yin’s Taiyin Yaoyao, ordinary ones would be at the peak of Grade Seven. Simply having seven of them was enough to overwhelm a strong person like Master He Shan.

That Grade Eight Taiyin Yaoyao Queen Bee could even single-handedly challenge an extremely powerful Spirit Qi Realm expert like Deputy City Lord Bai.

Moreover, leaving Deputy City Lord Bai utterly helpless against it.

If Qin Niu’s Green-Head Summoning Bee survives this ordeal and successfully advances to Grade Four, then Qin Niu would essentially possess a potential battling group of Grade Seven Steel-winged Wild Bees.

However, all of this is just speculation based on the best possible outcome.

After summoning the wild bees, how to cleverly command them to attack the enemy will still require further exploration.

After all, the summoned wild bees are not yet tamed and could very likely fail to distinguish friend from foe, posing a significant risk that they might directly attack Qin Niu.

At that time, Qin Niu could cleverly outsmart himself and place himself in danger.

Also, do not be fooled by the seeming abundance of Grade Six War Bees; he killed over a hundred of them in the mountains of Black Stone Village.

But Grade Seven wild bees are definitely not common commodity.

Whether one can find Grade Seven wild bees in the wild is still uncertain.

At least up to now, he has not yet encountered any Grade Seven wild bees.

After consuming the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, the Green-Head Summoning Bee went into a frenzy in the sky, its speed fast as lightning.

After a while, it headed directly towards the direction of the mountain range.

Qin Niu watched in silence.

In his own yard, it was safe. There would be no other creatures attacking it at least.

But once in the mountains, that was another story.

The Green-Head Summoning Bee’s combat ability was rubbish and it could easily fall prey to spiders, venomous snakes, and birds in the mountains.

“Come back, come back to me right now!”

Qin Niu issued a command to the Green-Head Summoning Bee.

But it might have already flown too far away to receive his command signal.

And with its current state, even if it did receive the command signal, it might not be able to comply.

Faced with such a ‘simpleton’, Qin Niu was helpless.

To ensure its safety, he had no choice but to quickly send a group of War Bees to escort it.

In terms of flying capacity, the War Bees were far inferior to the Green-Head Summoning Bee.

Only the Queen Bee of the War Bees possessed high-level flight capabilities equivalent to that of the Green-Head Summoning Bee.

Qin Niu watched the War Bees disappear from sight, praying silently that nothing would go wrong.

More than an hour passed, and the War Bees had yet to return.

Qin Niu looked at the sky.

It was about to get dark soon.

This Green-Head Summoning Bee was really making him worry.

Just as he decided to take the bee swarm out to search for it, the War Bees returned.

They brought back the Green-Head Summoning Bee with them.

However, it was now swollen as fat as a pig, puffed up, with its legs and antennae retracted. Not moving at all, it was carried by two War Bees as they flew.

Dead?

Qin Niu had formed a soul contract with it, so if it died, it was impossible for him not to sense anything.

He would at least feel a piercing pain in his spirit.

Or even suffer damage to his soul.

Since he, the master, was fine, it indicated that the Green-Head Summoning Bee was not dead.

It might be in some kind of deep sleep.

Or perhaps a coma.

“First, I’ll lock you up in a cage before anything else, so you don’t go causing more trouble,” Qin Niu said.

Qin Niu locked the Green-Head Summoning Bee inside a cage.

It still did not move.

Even its antennae maintained a retracted posture. Ancient Banyan Tree Blood was something wonderful, but the insects or birds and beasts that consumed it all had to ‘die’ once.
