Chapter 42 Bee Army vs. Ants
Do you think I can't develop it?
"No! No! No! Of course not!" Otto quickly denied.
"I have never doubted your talent, but your magic can easily turn a living person into a mad monster if you're not careful, which will be a big obstacle in that place."
Dr. May scoffed, "You don't need to worry about that. I've already found supporters who will help me."
"I know you've found some old guys to back you up. Magic that can extend lifespan is certainly enough to get those old guys to support you, but how much power do those old guys really have? This world is ultimately based on strength. How much power can an aging body still unleash?"
"Come back, Mei! Darkness is the environment that suits you, while the place you are in now is too bright. If it weren't for my intervention, the Hundred Beasts Evil Body would have been banned long ago."
"Your talent can only be truly realized with me!"
Dr. Mei remained silent for a moment after hearing this. She knew that what this annoying guy said was true. Many of the difficulties she was facing came from the new generation in this country.
Dr. Mei was baffled: "Why are they stopping me? Just because they think it's not human anymore? How ridiculous!"
Otto: "Excuse me for speaking frankly, my friend, but I once saw what you looked like after you performed the preliminary version of the Beast Evil Transformation. It's hard to imagine that you were human in that form."
Dr. Mei: "I really don't understand why people are so fixated on the concept of humanity?"
"Human beings are such a weak and unstable existence, always swayed by emotions, and never able to grasp the truth until death..."
Otto: "That's why I said this place is more suitable for you. There are no moral constraints on you, and you'll have plenty of experimental materials at your disposal!"
"So... my friend, are you coming back?"
Dr. Mei: "I will consider it further."
"Alright, I'll take my leave now. I look forward to the day we meet again."
……
"Klein, do you think I should say yes to him?" Dr. May looked at the ceiling and asked Klein beside her.
"Doctor, go ahead and do what you want! I'll always be by your side."
Dr. May gently stroked Klein's hair and said softly, "Thank you."
"I've made up my mind!"
"I did live in darkness for a long time, but after being in the sun for so long, I've started to like the light!"
……
The next day, Yunhua received a call from Dr. Mei and came to her residence. Dr. Mei seemed to be in a good mood.
Dr. Mei first chatted casually with Yunhua about cultivation issues, answering her questions one by one. Then she took out a huge piece of yellow jade, inside which Yunhua saw several bees.
Yunhua asked curiously, "Doctor, what is this?"
"It's a gift from me to you."
Yunhua: ?
Yunhua carefully examined the jade stone in front of her. Although it was huge, about the size of a dining table, it was just an ordinary stone with no magical energy on it.
Dr. Mei noticed that Yunhua's gaze remained fixed on the stone, and couldn't help but tap him on the head. "I delivered the bee army from inside!"
"Swarm ants, you've probably heard of that term before!"
Yunhua touched the bump on his head that Dr. Mei had tapped on, nodded and said, "I know, it's bees and ants, the two most common poisonous insects that poison mages raise."
"Because they have a short growth cycle, their combat power is easy to develop, they are simple to raise, and they are as disciplined as an army, so they are very popular among mages who specialize in raising poisonous insects."
Dr. Mei nodded. "That's right, and the bee army I'm giving you is called the Hundred Generals Bee Army."
"What makes the Hundred Generals Bee Army special is that it can produce different types of bee soldiers, and as the queen bee's level increases, the types that can be produced will also increase. Currently, there are three types that can be produced."
Steel Crossbow Bees are the main fighting force of the Bee Army, specializing in head-on combat.
The poison bee is able to inject venom into its enemies using its long, thin stinger.
The pursuit bee is weak in combat, but excels at tracking and reconnaissance; it can locate any enemy attacked by its own bee army.
As she explained, Dr. Mei pointed out the bees inside the jade to Yunhua.
Through Dr. Mei's introduction, Yunhua gained a preliminary understanding of this army of a hundred bees.
The steel crossbow bee is the largest, with purple stripes on its body. Its stinger looks like a crossbow bolt, hence its name.
The stinging bee is the second largest, with red stripes on its body, and its stinger is like the tip of a needle.
The chase bee is the smallest, with a slender body, and looks almost like a dart.
Dr. Mei then pointed to a large, fat bee that took up almost half the volume of the jade and said, "This is the queen bee. Once you control her, the rest of the bee army will obey your commands."
Looking at the queen bee's plump white body, it was hard to compliment her, but her abilities were absolutely undeniable. She could produce bee soldiers of different military types, which made Yunhua's attack methods more diverse.
Seeing Yunhua's satisfied expression, Dr. Mei couldn't help but smile.
"The Hundred Generals Bee Army may not be the strongest among all bee demons, but it is the most versatile. How you use it is up to you. Just like the little bug that Klein raised. Although its combat strength is not bad among its kind, Klein raised it for the purpose of disposing of waste left over from experiments."
Looking at the army of bees before him, Yunhua wanted to put them away immediately, but the jade outside made it difficult for him to do so.
"Doctor, what should we do with this rock outside?"
"This is a bee jade, made by a professional beekeeper. It can be used to store injured bees and help them recover. However, the energy inside this bee jade has been depleted. You just need to break it. But I suggest you open the second venomous hole before opening this one, so you can put it in directly."
"I understand." Yunhua carefully placed the Bee Jade into her spatial magic tool.
"I happen to not have much work today, so I'll give you a lesson on raising bees."
"Doctor, have you ever kept bee armies?"
Dr. Mei waved her hand. "No, I'm not a poison mage who specializes in raising poisonous insects. However, bee armies are the most common type of poison mage to raise, and even the first level of the intermediate spell 'Poison Cave' involves eating bees, so I have some knowledge of it."
"In a moment I will teach you a blood feeding method. You will use your own blood as a feed for the queen bee, which will strengthen the bond between you and the queen bee."
Yunhua was somewhat worried: "It's not that I'm unwilling to bleed, but since entering the second stage of the Hundred Beasts Evil Body, I've noticed that my blood seems different from usual. I don't know if there will be any accidents."
