The Demonic Dao Attacks the City! [Monthly Votes Requested]

[Beehive: lv1]

[Spirit effect: swarm reproduction speed +30%; swarm recovery speed +20%; swarm advancement chance +5%.]

[Upgrade requirements: Low-grade spirit stones ×50; breed one Bee Queen and raise the swarm population to 1,000; Golden Beetle corpse ×1. (Met)]

The [Beehive] was already Level One.

These were its current building effects. After all, none of the upgrade requirements had been difficult for Ji Yuan.

Even the Golden Beetle was merely an early second-tier demon beast.

Ji Yuan only needed to spend a few spirit stones to acquire one.

His next goal was naturally to upgrade this [Beehive] to Level Two.

[Beehive: lv2 (Cannot be upgraded)]

[Spirit effect 1: swarm reproduction speed +40%; swarm recovery speed +30%; swarm advancement chance +10%.]

[Spirit effect 2 (No Poison, No Bee): swarm attacks inflict "Bee-Wax Vein Erosion" toxin, which disrupts the target's spiritual power circulation and causes immense pain.]

[Upgrade requirements: Middle-grade spirit stones ×100; Bee Queen cultivation at second tier; swarm population of 10,000; second-tier mid-stage demon cores ×2; Bloodwing Venom Bee corpse ×1. (Not met)]

A Level Two [Beehive] had two spirit effects.

Spirit effect 1 remained a standard upgrade.

Spirit effect 2, however, was a mutation.

Ordinary Spirit-Devouring Bees were not venomous. Their main function was to devour spiritual energy. If an opponent hid inside some defensive spell like a turtle in its shell, the bees could consume its spiritual energy and break through the defense.

But a Level Two [Beehive] could make these Spirit-Devouring Bees venomous. Once one bit an opponent, it would practically pronounce their death sentence.

Their spiritual energy circulation would be obstructed, and their body wracked with pain.

With both effects combined, an opponent in the midst of battle would inevitably expose an opening. Ji Yuan could then finish them with a single strike.
