"This is!"
Luo Yu was extremely surprised!
Under his gaze, these ordinary Honey Water Bee suddenly mutated and grew larger, their bodies radiating a spiritual light!
From its initial appearance as an ordinary Water Wings bee, it has become ferocious, with yellow and black markings surrounding its body, and its dark blue, narrow compound eyes appearing even more menacing. Originally, the Honey Water Bee only had one stinger, but now...
Its limbs transformed into giant white poisonous spears, and combined with its semi-transparent Water Wings, it looked like a sky knight wielding five spears!! Ordinary Honey Water Bee... Successfully evolved!
[Race]: Knight Bee
[Attribute]: Water
[Racial Rank]: Mid-Rank Ordinary Species
[Health Level]: Level 1
[Racial Abilities]: Poison Sting, Knight's Soul
[Individual Talents]: 1. Mental Overload (Senior Level talent, possessing powerful mental strength and the aptitude to awaken Telekinesis.) 2. Loyalty (Common talent, more loyal than ordinary individuals.)
All 10 Honey Water Bee have gained an extra "Loyalty" talent, reaching the Mid-Rank Ordinary Species, and have even awakened a new superpower called Knight's Soul.
Luo Yu and the Bee Empress couldn't help but exchange glances, both of them filled with excitement.
Soon, Luo Yu figured out what was going on with the Knight Bee.
Knight's Soul: When fighting for the king, overall attributes are greatly increased.
"I see, I see." Seeing these 10 Knight Bee, although they had evolved into Mid-Rank Species and were far stronger than the Low-Rank Ordinary Species Bee King, still Loyalty guarding its side, Luo Yu understood.
The Resonance Evolution Method cannot evolve the Bee King, but it can evolve the soldier bees!!!
However, although the Bee King was unable to evolve, it could still command these stronger Knight Bee by virtue of its "Bee King" talent. Furthermore, the Knight Bee also gained the ability to become stronger through the Bee King.
"So this is the evolutionary path of the Honey Water Bee race? Soldiers constantly evolve, yet the king retains the ability to command even stronger soldiers." A unique race...
Luo Yu gave the Bee Empress a look, signaling her to try and see if she could win over the Bee King's Knight Bee.
The next moment, the Bee Empress beckoned.
The Knight Bee, possessing the talent of "Loyalty," betrayed their queen one after another. Just moments ago, they were surrounded by stars around the Bee King, but in an instant, they joined the ranks of the Insect Empress.
"You guys aren't Loyalty either." Luo Yu fell silent.
You should know that one day he and Lin Li had experimented with this, trying to get the Empress to forcibly rape Lin Li's Queen Bee. Although the Queen Bee was very tempted, in the end, she still did not switch allegiance.
While the significant difference in rank between the Bee Empress and Lin Li's Queen Bee at the time also illustrates that the "Insect Empress's " talent is not omnipotent. It can only inspire goodwill and awe in all Zerg, but if another, stronger force binds other Zerg, such as the contract and bond with the Beast Taming, it will not completely obey the Bee Empress's Command.
"It seems the evolutionary path of the Honey Water Bee can be determined."
"A group of ordinary Honey Water Bee with enough mental strength to resonate with the Bee King's Mental Network —at least 10 of them—can undergo a 'collective evolution phenomenon,' transforming them into Knight Bee Honey Water Bee."
"The situation is similar to that of the Ancient Grotto. The ' Mental Overload ' talent shouldn't be a necessity. There are other ways to help ordinary Honey Water Bee develop their mental power, but if the Honey Water Bee already have mental talents, that's undoubtedly the simplest approach."
"Does that mean the Bee Empress can also assist the Honey Water Bee in its evolution?"
Luo Yu suddenly thought of something.
The Bee Empress can also command Honey Water Bee, relying on a "Mental Network."
If we replace the regular queen Bee King with Bee Empress and introduce a swarm of Honey Water Bee, will evolution still occur?
If Knight Bee evolves from the Empress, how will it differ from Knight Bee that evolves normally?
Or perhaps... since the "Insect Empress's" Command are more powerful than the "Bee King's," could the Knight Bee use this method to undergo a second evolution? He decided to let these Knight Bee, who had already completed one evolution, give it a try.
The Bee Empress serves as the core of the formation.
Ten Knight Bee surrounded it, forming a battle formation.
The Bee Empress deployed her Mental Network, issuing commands to the 10 Knight Bee.
Unfortunately, this time, evolution did not occur again; it seemed that the previous evolution had exhausted their potential.
"Is that not allowed...?"
Luo Yu, disappointed, began to have the Bee Empress issue new Command, instructing the Knight Bee to mate and see if they still possessed reproductive capabilities. The next moment, a group of Knights began a large-scale silver party in mid-air.
Before long, several female Knight Bee flew into the hive to lay their eggs.
They surprisingly retained their reproductive ability, but...
Luo Yu took a look.
[Race]: Honey Water Bee (Egg)
[Attribute]: Water
[Racial Rank]: Low-Rank Ordinary Species
[Health Level]: 0
[Racial Ability]: Poison Sting
[Individual Talent]: 1. Mental Overload (Senior Level Talent...)
2. Loyalty (Normal talent...)
Are the descendants of the Knight Bee still Honey Water Bee?
Luo Yu thought he could hatch Knight Bee directly, but alas...
"What... what are these?"
Noon.
Lin Li came to call Luo Yu to have dinner, but they ran into a group of "mutated bees" they had never seen before, and were stunned on the spot.
"Shh, I'm skipping dinner. I need to go into seclusion to do my research. Tell Chen Bo and the others not to bother me." Luo Yu smiled slightly at Lin Li. Lin Li took a deep breath and looked at Knight Bee in disbelief. Could it be...? That was too fast!
"I... I understand."
Lin Li didn't dare disturb Luo Yu, fearing it would interfere with Luo Yu's experiment, so she quickly ran away, almost tripping and falling in the process.
In fact, Luo Yu felt that the method to evolve ordinary Honey Water Bee was not difficult. He just referred to the characteristics of the Sea Oath Insect and discovered it immediately. All he needed to do was find 10 Honey Water Bee with spiritual power talent and form a battle formation with the Bee King, and perform spiritual resonance to have a chance to evolve them.
Compared to the demanding conditions for the Ink Fish, this condition has been met quite well...
Of course, since other biologists don't know which Honey Water Bee have Mental Talent, they may need to breed each one individually, so the resources required... could be enormous.
Furthermore, the Honey Water Bee wasn't exactly a mutant with much potential, which meant no biologists were willing to study it. "Having Eye of Data is much more convenient... greatly reducing the cost of trial and error."
After seeing Lin Li off, Luo Yu resumed her experiments, having no appetite for food.
He then summoned 10 Honey Water Bee.
This batch consists of Honey Water Bee that possess both the "Bee King" and "Power of the Void" talents, and they have been the focus of our breeding efforts these days.
Originally, this batch was intended for research on the "Space Evolution Method".
However, he was brought in by Luo Yu to participate in the resonance experiment ahead of schedule.
Because he thought about it, theoretically speaking, the "Bee King" talent also contains Mental Talent, since the Bee King herself can use Mental Network. However, since queen Bee King do not get along with each other, it is impossible for Bee King to command Bee King; they cannot coexist.
Unless, a stronger king appears!
That is, the Bee Empress.
Therefore, Luo Yu's attempt became to have the Empress and 10 Bee King form a battle formation to jointly build the insect hive's Mental Network and see if they could resonate and evolve 10 Bee King cavalrymen who possess Space Talent.
"Empress, you should know what to do, right?" Luo Yu gave a command, and the Bee Empress nodded. She quickly flew into the sky and had the 10 Space Bee King form a battle formation, surrounding her in the center.
Buzzing...
The Bee Empress's spirit and soul power surged, enhancing their levels and potential one by one.
This process continued until dawn the next day.
One night passed.
Luo Yu worked without rest, recording the changes in each Honey Water Bee.
Until a certain moment...
The ten Mental Network overlapped, almost resonating, and shone brightly, causing Luo Yu to hold his breath for a moment.
Really!
Bee King + 10 Honey Water Bee with Awakened Mind Power can...
The Insect Empress + 10 Bee King Awakened Mental Network... that works too!
The principles are the same; both can evolve!
Next, the exact same thing happened: under his watchful eye, these Honey Water Bee with Bee King bee talent also began to evolve into Knight Bee!!!
However, upon closer inspection, it is actually different from the ordinary Knight Bee!
[Race]: Knight Bee
[Attribute]: Water
[Racial Rank]: Mid-Rank Ordinary Species
[Health Level]: 5
[Racial Abilities]: Spear of the King, Command, Knight's Soul
[Individual Talent]: 1. Bee King (Senior Level talent; Knight Bee with this talent will evolve into Royal Knight Bee upon reaching level 40.)
2. Power of the Void (Senior Level Talent...)
Due to their different innate abilities before evolution, the two types of Knight Bee have also developed significant differences!
The Poison Sting has evolved into the Spear of the King!
Moreover, the Knight Bee with only the "Mental Overload" talent only has one more "Loyalty" talent.
However, after the Honey Water Bee with the "Bee King" talent evolved, its talent mutated!!
The normal "Bee King" talent, Senior Level talent, means that Honey Water Bee with this talent will mutate into Bee King after their life level breaks through level 5, gaining the power of Command.
But here... there's a new feature where they evolve into Royal Knight Bee after level 40! This Royal Knight Bee... is something Luo Yu has never heard of before. However, he can tell that they are much stronger than ordinary Knight Bee, like the Insect Empress's direct guard!
However, the conditions are rather demanding.
It's important to know that the level cap for Common Species mutant beasts is 40. This means that this Knight Bee needs to develop its potential to the limit in order to have a chance to evolve!
Compared to its previous lack of evolutionary potential, this is already quite good. Luo Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. This is it! Let's first have the Bee Empress contract a Knight Bee with the dual talents of "Power of the Void" and "Bee King" as a familiar and see!
In this way, the Bee Empress will have some initial combat capabilities, and this Knight Bee with the "Bee King" talent seems to have considerable potential. At the very least, the Royal Knight Bee will be a Upper-Tier Common Species, right?
The high-level space-type Common Species have potential comparable to the Lower Monarch Species, making them more than sufficient as early-game subordinates!
Buzzing...
Looking at the swarm of Knight Bee, the Bee Empress, her expression a mixture of exhaustion and joy, turned to Luo Yu.
"You've worked very hard." Luo Yu patted its head and said, "I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I'll soon help you arrange a battle against a powerful mutated sky beast. It'll be a good opportunity for you to test your strength after forming a contract with a familiar."
"However, let's talk about the contracted Soul Dependent after we rest for half a day. We've been busy for a whole day and night."
"Let me check which one has the best potential."
"What's the situation with Luo Yu? He hasn't moved for a whole day and night."
"Don't bother him!" Lin Li stopped Yu Wan and Chen Bo like a protective mother cat, her fur standing on end.
"He's still researching the evolution of Honey Water Bee! Results will be available soon!"
"Yes, yes, we know." Yu Wan and Chen Bo looked at Lin Li's condition and felt a pang of fear.
Luo Yu, Luo Yu has gone mad with research!
Lin Li is also obsessed!
"Why are you all here?" Just then, Luo Yu returned.
Although he had been up all day, Luo Yu was actually quite energetic. After all, he had received a lot of endurance and mental injections, and with his current physique, he could easily stay up for several days and nights.
"Luo Yu!" Upon seeing Luo Yu, Lin Li's expression brightened. She was just about to inquire about the progress... about what was going on with the Knight Bee...
"Answer me one question first," Luo Yu asked. "At the Junior Level Beast Taming Master level, with pets ranging from level 11 to 20, which Beast Taming on the island has the strongest flying pet under their contract?"
The others were puzzled as to why Luo Yu had suddenly asked this question.
Yu Wan and said, "I know, Yu Xiang is my cousin, a soon-to-be graduate of Mirror Moon High School. His contracted pet is Upper-Tier Common Species, the Gale Eagle, a hybrid offspring of my uncle's Storm Eagle. It's extremely powerful, and his strength is among the best in the entire school. He also received the blessing of the guardian deity during his freshman year... He's currently preparing for the entrance exam for Canglan Ocean University."
"What's wrong?"
The Gale Eagle? A descendant of the Bureau Chief's Storm Eagle? Luo Yu's expression was strange.
Alright, we can't beat the Sky King of Mirror Moon Island right now, so let's start by taking down the Sky Prince!
