"Punctuality | Talent, with a strong sense of time. Luo Yu estimated that he's like a bee-shaped alarm clock; with training, he might be able to time precisely down to the second?"
Luo Yu put aside his ordinary talents for the moment; what he admired was this Insect's Premonition talent—the ability to foresee battle scenes a few seconds in advance—it was simply superb!
In a battle between masters, every second counts. This talent is the key to seizing the initiative and turning the tide of battle.
Luo Yu thought about it briefly and felt that this talent was very suitable for the Bee Empress's [Missile Needle] skill.
This kind of long-range attack skill is actually not bad against stationary targets; with practice, one can become quite accurate. However, it becomes very difficult to hit moving targets.
To hit the target, you have to use saturation attacks, suppressing the enemy with high-density firepower, but that would be too wasteful of your stamina.
If you have the "Insect's Premonition" talent, which allows you to foresee the enemy's combat trajectory a few seconds later, what does that mean? It means you can perform predictive shooting!
Some enemies moving at high speeds rarely change their original trajectory instantly due to their enormous inertia. In such cases, if the Bee Empress could predict the enemy's movement trajectory in advance, she could be considered a sharpshooter.
Even if the enemy reacts, it can still greatly limit their speed and disrupt their battle rhythm!
besides----
The Empress and the Knight Bee can communicate with each other through a "Mental Network": this "Insect's Premonition Insect's Premonition | Individual" is not just the Empress's eyes, but can be said to be the future seen by all the Knight Bee, allowing them to take more rational actions.
If the Empress's Contract talent becomes a new knight, the overall strength of its familiar system will undergo a qualitative change!
"Hurry up and be born, then go breed." As expected of someone with a talent for timing, Luo Yu took a liking to him at first glance.
However, this is only a single-time talent and doesn't have the Bee King attribute. It still needs to be paired with Honey Water Bee with the Bee King attribute to create a double-high individual. Otherwise, it will directly evolve into Knight Bee and won't have the potential for a second evolution.
"Spatial Intangibility, Self-Destruct, Deadly Poison, precognition----" Luo Yu felt that if he used these four familiars well, the Bee Empress should be able to handle most battles, and defeating the Thunderclap Eagle should not be a problem.
It's not because the Bee Empress's raw strength is actually greater than her opponent's, but because her skills are too underhanded.
Which opponent could easily defend against these skills on their first encounter with Honey Water Bee?
Perhaps after figuring things out, the opponent can be fully prepared for the second battle and break through the Bee Empress's tactics one by one, but life doesn't offer second chances.
The Empress only needs to defeat her opponent once to satisfy her Obsession; she doesn't need to defeat them frequently. Therefore, as long as she can achieve initial success...
For Luo Yu and his group, killing them was sufficient.
After the initial kill, the Empress will undergo a transformation. If the opponent wants to challenge her a second time, she will face a different opponent.
Just like Yu Wan's cousin Yu Xiang, he was tricked the first time. The second time he realized what was happening and came up with a plan, but the Bee Empress had already fulfilled her Obsession, her race level had increased, and her strength had been completely transformed. She had no chance to get revenge.
"That Thunderclap Eagle is level 20, and it won't arrive for over a month. That's enough time for the Empress to reach level 20, so there's plenty of time." Luo Yu made plans while checking the remaining bee eggs.
"The Empress is already level 16, leveling up very quickly. She just experienced a round of intense emotions from Shui Wuyue, including surprise, anxiety, shock, and excitement, and she still hasn't fully processed them. She wasted a lot of energy. Once she finishes processing them, she should be around level 17 by then."
"Therefore, it's very easy for it to reach level 20 before the Thunderclap Eagle arrives; in fact, after level 20, it will be necessary to control it and prevent it from leveling up further."
"The absorbed emotional energy is only used to replenish physical strength—and as for where that physical strength is used, it's naturally for nurturing other Knight Bee."
The Bee Empress can enhance the abilities of other Zerg, including increasing their health levels. However, this is time-consuming and energy-draining, but it doesn't matter, since there's nothing else to do after it reaches level 20.
Try to level up your own few companions to level 20 first, then level up a group of Honey Water Bee responsible for "needle training" to level 20, and finally level up the Dripping Rain Butterfly responsible for watering the space plants to level 20—so many tasks, it'll keep it busy.
No need to worry about not being able to control the level.
Of course, there's no need to worry about going hungry or not getting enough nutrition. Luo Yu guarantees that there will be plenty of emotional energy.
The Empress has this one advantage in following Luo Yu: being by Luo Yu's side means she'll have a bunch of King Level Beast Taming Tamers experiencing all sorts of intense emotional ups and downs every day, or Luo Yu could break the defenses of thousands of new Beast Taming in one go—either quality or quantity, she'll never have to worry about food or drink.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, throughout Luo Yu's entire Beast Taming career, the Bee Empress's leveling speed will be far ahead of the rest.
Even its companions might consistently rank higher than other pets.
Keep in mind that I'm only level 12 in July, which is a full 8 levels away from the standard level 20 required to participate in the Abyss Trial!
However, there's nothing that can be done about it. The Bee Empress is essentially consuming "King Level" and "Abyss Level" emotional energy every day, which, when converted into resources, is the flesh and blood of "Monarch Species" and "Abyss Species" creatures.
What level of food is this? Let's look back at July...
Throughout the entire Mirror Moon Island, let alone king-level earth and fire resources, even ordinary-level earth and fire resources are practically nonexistent.
One can be said to grow by consuming top-tier resources, while the other scavenge for scraps. The best food July gets is rock-type resources, but since it is not a rock-type creature, those rock-type resources don't provide much nutrition for its growth.
But it doesn't matter anymore—firstly, because Luo Yu is now a VIP of the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce, he can buy all kinds of earth fire resources for July anytime through "online shopping," and secondly—
Honey Water Bee with the "Life Enhancement Talent" can also enhance the life energy of pets and promote their growth with their stingers. Therefore, the Life Enhancement Sting of ordinary Honey Water Bee wouldn't have much effect on July.
But what if it's Knight Bee with a level 10+ Life Enhancement Talent? And during the needle-sticking process, it also has the Empress's enhancement!
My level in July will definitely skyrocket.
I didn't do this before because getting stung by Knight Bee was quite painful, but now, with the Healing Water Devil Beast...
A little bit of this can both strengthen your willpower and help you level up quickly. I bet it won't be long before you catch up to your level in July.
However, what Luo Yu really wants to cultivate right now is not July, but its companion, the Ink Fish.
After all, the level of an evolved Ink Fish will inevitably be higher than its pre-evolution level. Therefore, while breeding other Ink Fish, we can first let July's family members level up in Ink Fish form.
Ideally, you should reach level 10 or higher.
In this way, the evolved Water Devil Beast will have a higher initial level.
After finishing his work, Luo Yu found July July, who was sitting quietly by the pond, practicing her fishing skills.
Holding a fishing rod, cast a flick to hook back a distant lava block, then throw the lava back out, repeating this process continuously.
The Ink Fish perched on July's head, completely bewildered. With its current intelligence, it couldn't possibly understand what July was doing.
"Stop for a moment."
"Its vacation is over starting today, and it's time to begin training," Luo Yu said to July.
"Mmm!" July quickly stood up, revealing an expression of approval. It should have been done a long time ago!
It's been several days since it was born, and it still can't turn into a fishing rod!
"Don't even think about evolving; it's impossible for it to change," Luo Yu said. "From now on, its food will have to be changed from the ink of individuals with the ' Mother's Milk ' talent to various rock-type resources."
The "Mother's Milk" talent is a common talent of the Ink Fish, which was born by chance. Its effect is that the ink of Ink Fish talent contains the necessary nutrients for the perfect growth of Ink Fish larvae.
These past few days, this Ink Fish has been drinking this ink to grow, and its growth rate is quite astonishing; it's about to leave the juvenile stage.
It has two talents: "Dominion" and "Rock Element Affinity". In the previous experiments on the evolution of Dominion Ink Fish, Luo Yu only raised the Dominion individual level and did not try to develop the training talent when they were still in the Ink Fish stage.
This time, I will try it myself with my family in July.
From the juvenile stage, start feeding it "Rock Turtle Honey" and "Rock Goat" so that it can skillfully use Rock-type abilities by the time it reaches the Ink Fish stage!
With this in mind, Luo Yu was certain without a doubt that the evolved Rock-type Water Devil Beast would have a stronger Rock-type talent. Of course, the "Rock Element Enhancement Needle" and "Fermented Rock Goat" were unnecessary, firstly because its body was weak and it couldn't absorb much nutrition, and secondly, they were likely to cause problems.
Over the next two days, Shui Wuyue continued to come for treatment as usual, and her companion Ink Fish, also began to receive additional nutritional supplements.
It was born with Senior Level Rock-type talent, so just two days later, this familiar, the Ink Fish, awakened a Rock-type move.
[Petrification].
"Pfft----" The Ink Fish has little intelligence, but it is very skilled at Ink Spray ink. The ink it sprays actually has a new property: it can Petrification the objects it touches, covering their surfaces with rocks.
It doesn't look like it's Ink Spray ink anymore; it looks like it's Water Spray.
If a living organism is hit by its ink, it will initially need some strength to break free and allow the Petrification rock skin to peel off.
However, if one does not break free for a long time, or if the ink completely submerges the body, it is no different from being sealed inside a stone.
"This is interesting." Luo Yu originally thought it would awaken some kind of rock-based ability like hardening, which would allow it to Petrification its body and enhance its defense.
The result—was it that the ink acquired Petrification properties?
In this way, its tactical value is much higher than its hardened body, probably because the Rock-type nutrients it eats are too good?
With both Rock Goat and Rock Turtle Honey, this is practically the best starting resource for a Ink Fish that already has a Rock-type talent.
"Mmm!"
Seeing the future fishing rod become stronger, July was even happier than Luo Yu. Her Intelligence little brain immediately figured out the use of this superpower.
"Ugh!" He could petrify the big fish he caught Petrification specimens and display them in the backyard of the research institute as a memento.
