If the Queen Bee were to unfortunately die, he would only be able to rest for a while before seeking a new honey bee queen to form a contract with.

However, finding another Queen Bee with an iron will would be extremely difficult.

After all, every unique insect or animal is one of a kind.

The Queen Bee’s body was already showing a series of tiny cracks, a phenomenon that also occurred during the cultivation of certain termites.

If it could hold on, it would survive.

If not, it would explode and die.

At this moment, the Queen Bee spat out a somewhat turbid liquid from its mouth. It felt somewhat like Royal Jelly.

But it might not be.

Both Worker Bees and the Queen Bee could secrete the extremely valuable

Royal Jelly.

However, because the Queen Bee is usually well-nurtured and does not participate in honey-malting, only laying eggs,

most of the Royal Jelly in the royal cell is secreted by the Worker Bees.

After the Queen Bee spat out a large drop of Royal Jelly, its abdomen seemed to have excreted brown feces.

Was this both vomiting and defecating, emptying its body?

Qin Niu watched anxiously.

Even its head was starting to crack now, and the cracks had even spread to its hard mandibles.

“You must pull through! If you can just make it, your lifespan will increase by at least ten years, and your path of evolution will be much smoother from then

on,”

Qin Niu cheered it on.

It seemed somewhat effective.

It was defecating even harder now.

“You’re about to make it, hold on!”

Qin Niu, not repulsed by it, continued to provide emotional support at its side.

At this crucial moment, just offering some hope, with its iron will, might enable it to pull through.

Time ticked away by the minute and the second.

The Queen Bee was still enduring the most dangerous and difficult moment. Every second could be the one that it couldn’t hold on and then explode and die.

At that time, a buzzing noise rang out in the sky.

Qin Niu looked up; the figures of three Golden Ring Bumblebees appeared.

They might have sensed the pheromones left by the captured Golden Ring Bumblebee and came to investigate.

“Go, lure them over here!”

Qin Niu commanded one of the Grade Two Worker Bees.

It immediately took to the air, teasing the three Golden Ring Bumblebees like prey.

Excited upon discovering the honey bee, the three Golden Ring Bumblebees flapped their wings, diving and encircling towards the Grade Two Worker Bee.

However, their flying speed was far inferior to that of the Grade Two Green

Ring Worker Bees.

They were always just that bit too far behind the Grade Two Worker Bee.

“Fourth, help me deal with these three bumblebees.”

Qin Niu, needing to protect the Queen Bee from disturbance, ordered Fourth into battle.

At this moment, the entire bee colony became even more agitated.

They feared losing their queen.

It seemed that they too could feel that the Queen Bee was in a critically dangerous phase.

As soon as the three bumblebees neared Fourth’s attack range, one of them was directly controlled by Fourth.

It unexpectedly turned and attacked its two companions.

It grappled with one of the bumblebees, biting each other as they fell from the sky.

The remaining bumblebee was completely bewildered by this turn of events. Fighting its own brothers, how could this have suddenly happened?

Now, it was met with seven Grade Two Green Ring Worker Bees attacking from the sky.

With their previous battle experience, they had become even more sharp and efficient.

In just one round of attack, the Golden Ring Bumblebee had its wings, legs, and antennae broken, plunging to the ground from the sky. In mid-air, it was utterly dominated by the seven Grade Two Worker Bees.

Qin Niu’s attention was focused on the Queen Bee, continuing to boost its morale.

The swelling seemed to have reached its peak, finally coming to a halt.

One could see its six legs, upper jaws, head, antennae, and even wings all swollen to the limit.

After guarding by its side for over an hour more, Qin Niu found the Queen Bee’s condition had stabilized and carefully placed it back into the hive.

He then ordered two Grade Two Worker Bees to guard it.

The remaining five Grade Two Worker Bees were responsible for vigilance, ready to exterminate any Scout Wasps from the bumblebees that came into view.

Once everything was sorted out, he confidently went with Fourth under the Ancient Banyan Tree.

It was already approaching noon.

To nurture this Queen Bee, he had spent the entire morning.

But it was all worth it.

The Queen Bee had successfully passed the most dangerous period, and Qin Niu had accumulated a lot of valuable experience in cultivating the Ant Queen.

Next was the patient wait of several days to see what the Queen Bee would evolve into.

He was sitting cross-legged underneath the Ancient Banyan Tree, cultivating the Medicine King Sutra.

Absorbing the medicinal energy from this Ancient Banyan Tree to cultivate the Medicine King Sutra was just too exhilarating.

It was even more terrifying than cheating.

As he continued to absorb the medicinal energy and transform it into his cultivation power, his cultivation level was constantly improving.

About an hour or so later, his body trembled slightly.

The power of the Medicine King Sutra had smoothly broken through to Twofold of the common folk.

It was much easier than he had imagined.

“The ability to perceive medicinal herbs seems to have more than doubled!”

Qin Niu excitedly discovered now that when he perceived the Ancient Banyan

Tree, he could vaguely sense the terrifying energy contained within, rather than only being able to feel its formidable medicinal aura.

Moreover, he noticed that some of the small trees and grasses around him also contained a certain amount of energy within them.

As for the medicinal properties of the energy, he was still unable to discern them.

These small trees and grasses were not emitting any medicinal aura.

They were more like puppets or attachments of the great banyan tree.

They had no independent abilities.

It was also possible that they were actually part of the great banyan tree itself.

To understand their relationship with the great banyan tree, Qin Niu would probably have to wait until his Medicine King Sutra reached a higher level.

He also specifically checked his lifespan, which he cared about most.

Now, with each small advancement in the Everlasting Spring Technique, his lifespan could increase by five years.

The Medicine King Sutra had now broken through to Twofold of the common folk.

As a result, he found his lifespan had increased from 76 years to 77 years.

Not bad, an increase of one year in his lifespan.

It seemed all cultivation techniques had the ability to extend life to some extent, although they varied in strength.

Life-Nurturing Techniques were probably the type that could add the most to one’s life span.

After cultivating for some time, he let Fourth lead the way.

Because he had not brought the Ant Queen with him today, he wasn’t sure if Fourth would be able to lead him out.

After some twists and turns, Fourth finally successfully led him through the maze of the Ancient Banyan Tree.

“Fourth, well done! Next time we come here, there’s no need to move the Ant Queen with us.”

Qin Niu felt particularly happy.

Previously, he had to bring the Ant Queen with him every time he came here, which was very inconvenient and could easily put the Ant Queen in danger.

Now it was good, the Ant Queen didn’t need to leave the nest, and Fourth was still able to lead him successfully through the maze.

This also indicated that the stronger Fourth became, the greater the distance of extreme perception from the Ant Queen would be.

After leaving, the first thing Qin Niu did was check on the Queen Bee’s condition.

Not bad, the entire beehive was calm.

Five Grade Two Worker Bees were patrolling outside the hive, strictly following Qin Niu’s orders without going out to collect pollen.

For the task of gathering nectar, it was left to the ordinary worker bees to handle.

The main task of these Grade Two Worker Bees was to guard the Queen Bee.

To ensure that the Queen Bee was absolutely safe. Finndd the new𝒆st 𝒏ovels on n/𝒐/velbin(.)com

The five bees sensed Qin Niu’s presence and flew out from the hive, circling 111 front of him.

“Eh, could it be that the five Grade Two Rapid-Growth Worker Bees that are patrolling can split themselves?”

Qin Niu was somewhat surprised.

The five Grade Two Worker Bees were still patrolling near the hive.

So who were these individuals that were larger than the ordinary worker bees, with light green wings?

The only thing he could think of was the Rapid-Growth Worker Bees he had cultivated the day before.

They were somewhat similar to the Swift Ants.

They were like ‘half-finished products’ of incomplete evolution.

Their flying speed was clearly much faster than that of ordinary worker bees.
