Another top-tier talent monster!
This is the second mutated beast with top-tier talent that Luo Yu has seen since July!
The "Walking Volcano" talent endowed July with top-tier earth and fire elemental abilities, allowing it to unleash its Dig skills to create massive holes in an instant. Furthermore, at just two or three months old, it can control terrifying geothermal energy and gain extraordinary fire resistance.
Now, we've entered the stage of magma condensation. If all goes well, once the level is high enough, we really will be able to create islands and land in this ocean era.
Volcano Eruption, mega-earthquakes, continental plate shifts... it's clear to the naked eye how violent the coming July will be. This is top-tier talent, completely incomparable to Senior Level talent.
And now... the Insect Empress...
This talent is not a talent like "Walking Volcano" that is deeply bound to natural energy, but a talent that develops racial characteristics to the extreme.
It's like a superior talent to the "Bee King" talent!
Honey Water Bee with the "Bee King" talent can awaken their Command abilities and command the swarm of bees after reaching level 5.
This "Insect Empress" is born with a powerful ability to dominate the Zerg, and under her Command, the Zerg's abilities are greatly enhanced;
Not "the same race," but "the Zerg."
In other words, this Command targets the Honey Water Bee family, but is not limited to Honey Water Bee; it may even be able to command other mutated insects as well.
Of course, it's unlikely that it can command those much stronger than itself, but it's still quite abnormal.
This led Luo Yu to make Boldness guesses...
Since the Empress's Command have significantly enhanced the Zerg's abilities... could we make the Poison Sting of ordinary Honey Water Bee even more potent, and enhance the stinging effect of Honey Water Bee with the "Enhancement Talent"?
Is it possible to make ordinary Honey Water Bee, or even the notorious "Flower-Picking Bandit," produce more nutritious Honey Water Bee?
If possible, this is the pet beast that Luo Yu has been longing for—one that can create enormous resources for Beast Taming!
Besides, bees aren't the only insects that can create resources... It's perfect for setting up many insect farms!
Of course, being a resource-based pet doesn't mean this "Insect Empress" is weak.
Each level gained allows you to recruit one member of your own kind as a familiar; both your own soul and the familiar's soul are immortal...
Although it's called "family" instead of "insect race" here, indicating that it can only recruit the Honey Water Bee race as its followers, this kind of follower seems to be a little different from the followers that Luo Yu knows.
However, it can be determined that it is something similar to Bloodline Dependent...
The level cap for Common Species is 40. While it's unknown whether inanimate ghosts also face this limitation, even if they only reach level 40 and cannot break through the cap, it still means they can contract 40 common Honey Water Bee as companions...
If it could also be like the Bloodline Dependent system, allowing the use of the power of family members...
That's absolutely insane!
Although the Honey Water Bee is just a low -Low-Rank Ordinary Species and a low-grade mutated beast, even 40 Honey Water Bee are nothing special and won't cause any trouble.
Even a small bee farm on Mirror Moon Island has tens of thousands of Honey Water Bee, but Luo Yu has the Eye of Data...
He can select the elite of the Honey Water Bee to serve as the "Insect Empress's " retinue.
For example, Bee King 40 Space Talent, trained to develop spatial abilities, could easily be considered a Void Assassin Legion. Honey Water Bee with such talents as followers would certainly be something the "Insect Empress" could proudly display.
Of course, the most crucial ability is that the "Insect Empress's " own soul is immortal, and the souls of her followers are also immortal...
This is far more powerful than the Bloodline Dependent system. Luo Yu still doesn't understand what "the soul of the familiar is immortal" means. Does it mean that after a familiar dies in battle, they can become ghost soldiers, achieving a kind of immortality, or that their souls can be reincarnated and reborn?
Regardless of the mechanism, the talent of an immortal legion of followers is indeed a top-tier talent from a certain perspective. If developed properly, it is no less powerful than "Walking Volcano".
Even between the two top-tier talents, "Walking Volcano" and "Insect Empress," Luo Yu couldn't say for sure which was stronger.
If top-tier talents are already this strong, Luo Yu is genuinely curious whether there are even stronger talents, such as "god-level talents."
"Let me see what Obsession this top-tier talent monster has..."
Luo Yu gazed at the Honey Water Bee, and then it was as if he were witnessing its entire life.
Born in an ordinary forest, she was an absolute Empress from birth, even the queen bee had to submit to her.
However...
This is the Insect Empress, but unfortunately, she was born into a weak body.
The Insect Empress sounds powerful, but frankly, she's still just a Honey Water Bee.
Whenever it tries to fly away from the forest to see the wider sky, it discovers how tiny the Honey Water Bee is.
A single Superior Species of Swift Sky Sparrow can feast on a whole colony of bees.
A Monarch Species Thunderclap Eagle swept past, and the sheer force of the lightning and the shockwaves generated by its flight caused the Honey Water Bee to lose their balance, their bodies torn apart by the storm.
Compared to simply leading herds and living among the flowers and grasses in the forest, this Honey Water Bee yearns for the boundless sky.
Even though they have wings, why can't Honey Water Bee become the kings of the sky?
Unfortunately, the weak race could not support its ambition. The entire group was slaughtered while resisting the hunt of a Monarch Species Underworld King Spider.
This Bee Empress also died protecting her colony.
Before it died, its biggest regret was that it couldn't lead the Honey Water Bee clan to dominate the sky, and that it itself couldn't become the King of the Sky.
"King of the Sky..."
It wanted to challenge all flying creatures, step by step, to become the king of the sky. Luo Yu felt a little conflicted when he saw this; this title no longer belonged to birds.
Currently, there are two major species of dragons in the world.
Water dragons and giant dragons.
Water dragons, similar to the divine dragons of the East, can summon wind and rain and dwell in the seabed. The Golden Carp of Golden Island, through leaping over the Dragon Gate, evolved into the monarch dragon species and were classified as water dragons.
There is another type, a giant dragon, similar to the Western lizard dragon.
They possess powerful Dragon Wings, easily dominating the skies, and are currently considered the strongest race that frequently roams the heavens.
Is this Honey Water Bee so Obsession with challenging the dragon's status as the king of the skies?
Bees... dragons... creatures on completely different levels.
"Okay, okay."
Luo Yu didn't mock its dream. Without the talent, it's just daydreaming, but with the talent, it's a different story!
It might not be able to fully develop the "Insect Empress" talent on its own, but Luo Yu felt that his Eye of Data could help it!
"You're the one."
Although this Honey Water Bee's Obsession seems quite unrealistic, Luo Yu feels that its talent has extremely high potential for development!!
After all, he could lead all the Zerg. You know, some Zerg have evolved to be stronger than dragons and feed on them. If he could also restrain them, he would be invincible. Besides, he originally intended to continue breeding Honey Water Bee.
Now, with the Bee Empress, the profits from breeding Honey Water Bee are even greater. She can create countless rarer resources for Luo Yu. With her abilities, Luo Yu is confident that he can become the richest man on Mirror Moon Island within six months, and expand his business empire to the Azure Billows Continent within a year!
The process of breeding powerful Honey Water Bee is the process of helping this Bee Empress fulfill her Obsession, so it doesn't waste any extra energy.
Its Obsession and talent perfectly matched Luo Yu's future plans, and also satisfied Luo Yu's hobby of endlessly breeding top-quality individuals. The two were a perfect match!
According to the pioneers' conclusions, after establishing Soul Contract with a ghost pet, if the ghost pet's Obsession is not resolved within approximately 1800 days, the contract will generate its first round of backlash, devouring a part of the Beast Taming's body.
If the Obsession is not resolved within approximately 3600 days, a systemic backlash will occur, affecting the entire soul.
Furthermore, the Soul Contract cannot be broken, and the ghost pet cannot be abandoned.
When a ghost pet dies, the Beast Taming tamer will suffer a more severe price than if the pet in the Beast-Taming Space contract dies: a backlash to the soul.
So what Shui Wuyue said is right, contracting a soul pet is a gamble.
He gambled his body on the Sea of Ghosts.
If you win the gamble, you will obtain a permanent and powerful Ghost Sea.
If the gamble fails, you'll just be temporarily holding onto a Ghost Sea, letting it serve you for 5 or 10 years...
Luo Yu didn't know if it would be strong enough to challenge the dragon race in 5 years, but if 5 years wasn't enough, it could just lose an arm like Shui Wuyue. If 5 years wasn't enough, 10 years would surely be enough.
Of course, which part to lose depends mainly on where it resides on its body...
"I will help you become the King of the Sky, and let the Honey Water Bee Clan dominate the skies. Let's make Soul Contract."
Luo Yu reached out and grabbed at the Honeybee Bee Empress.
Buzz!!!!
The moment Luo Yu resolved to help this Ghost Honey Water Bee fulfill its Obsession, the souls of the two spaces seemed to resonate, and a phantom-like, transparent Honey Water Bee appeared to be reborn, slowly flying out from the Sea of Ghosts.
Then, it transformed into a beam of light and flew into Luo Yu's right eye.
The contract has been signed.
but...
Luo Yu rubbed his right eye. "Wait, how did you get into my right eye?"
If I don't fulfill your Obsession, won't I become a one-eyed monster?
The King of the Sky... actually, he still had a lot of confidence. After all, with talent, a cheat code, the Honeybee Bee Empress, and his own determination, how could he possibly lose?
Luo Yu belatedly realized that this Obsession was so similar to July's ambition...
July is destined to become the god of the earth.
Here comes another Honey Water Bee that wants to become the king of the sky.
"Should we contract with another big, fat fish that wants to become the ruler of the ocean, and let the three of them play a game of 'Landlord'?"
