Chapter 171: The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s Cruel Aesthetics
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Yuan was very much looking forward to the Gold I/Legend Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s True Data.
[Fey Name]: Acid Corrosion Queen Bee
[Fey Species]: Vespidae/Bactrocera
[Fey Grade]: Gold (1/10)
[Fey Type]: Source/Poison
[Fey Quality]: Legend
Abilities:
[Wing Stealth]: Flaps its wings at high frequency. The fast-flapping reflective wings allow the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to be stealthy.
[Bone-Penetrating Stingers]: The super hard and impactful rotating stingers rapidly cause deep injuries.
[Parasitic Pupa]: The stingers on the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s forelegs can release a fast-hatching parasitic pupa into the target’s body while stinging.
[Acid-Swallowing Larvae]: With sufficient acid, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee will hatch numerous Acid-Swallowing Larvae that can be used as food for it to rapidly restore its consumed energy and venom reserves.
Exclusive Skill:
[Two-Strike Kill]: The two abdominal stingers contain two different kinds of acid-corrosion venom. If the abdominal stingers hit the same part of the target, the two types of venom will instantly disintegrate the target’s part.

When Lin Yuan saw the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s abilities, he suddenly could not help but criticize, What a cruel bootlicker!
Wing Stealth could greatly increase its stealth ability.
Red Thorn and the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee were a combination. Red Thorn would release spores to spawn child ramets and ramets and spread out the sea of flowers.
In the absence of a huge amount of flesh, Red Thorn consumed its body’s energy to spread the sea of flowers. Therefore, the sea of flowers was not as shocking as during Millstone Town, and there were not as many child ramets and ramets.
When battling in Star Web, Red Thorn, which was now a Bronze source-type lifeform, could even compete against Silver feys with its sea of flowers. However, Spore Growth’s child ramets and ramets were not meant to score a direct hit on feys of the same grades. Instead, it was a field control ability.
The sea of flowers that Red Thorn spawned could very well limit the enemy feys’ movements. At that moment, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee that used Wing Stealth would be a perfect assassin.
The Bone-Penetrating Stingers could very well penetrate through the feys’ armor and cause severe damage to the target’s bones.
However, Lin Yuan’s pupils contracted at Parasitic Pupa.
What a cruel ability it was!
Lin Yuan had checked the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s stingers in front and found they were hollow.
He had always thought that the hollow stingers were used to inject acid into the target’s body, but he did not expect them to release a soon-to-hatch parasitic pupa into the target’s body.
It had the same conditions as the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s growth.
The pupa would search for the most acidic organ tissue in the target’s body based on its instinct before drilling into it to hatch.
This was akin to saying that when the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee injected it into the target’s body, the hatching parasitic pupa would drill into the target’s stomach according to its instinct. The pupa would then hatch with the strong gastric acid’s help.
What kind of torture would the parasitic pupa do to the parasitized target?
The pain of tearing apart the epidermis and flesh and drilling into the stomach was something Lin Yuan could not imagine!
Besides, the parasitic pupa that hatched in the stomach would absorb a huge amount of gastric acid and nutrients from the target’s body.
Lin Yuan knew how much acid and energy the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee had absorbed from Red Thorn’s Mouth of Relinquish.
Even if ordinary lifeforms had a huge amount of energy in their bodies, how would they have so much acid?
The huge amount of absorbed gastric acid would make the target’s stomach function all destroyed and withered.
If the hatching parasitic pupa sensed that the gastric acid was not enough, it would drill into other organs to absorb acid.
If the acid in the target’s body did not reach the hatching condition, it would not hatch. Nevertheless, the target’s body would probably have been destroyed beyond recognition.
But if the acid in the target’s body was barely enough for the parasitic pupa to hatch, it would be akin to hatching an enemy.
The parasitic pupa would break out of the target’s body at the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s order!
This Parasitic Pupa ability was cruel and terrifying.
Of course, the parasitic pupa had its own weakness.
The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee must penetrate the target’s epidermis to be able to release the parasitic pupa into the target’s body. However, the Bone-Penetrating Stingers perfectly resolved this weakness.
The Bone-Penetrating Stingers’ defense-breaking function allowed the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee to release the parasitic pupa under the epidermis. Furthermore, Red Thorn’s Armor-Piercing Vines could break through armor too.
Lin Yuan had never understood how the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee had gotten its name, but after seeing the Acid-Swallowing Larvae, he finally understood why.
The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was an extremely cruel source-type lifeform by nature.
A queen bee would give birth to pupae in a completed hive, but all the pupae were nothing more than rations for her to carry out her recovery.
Because of these Acid-Swallowing Larvae, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s endurance in a battle was significantly increased. However, these were not the most powerful means of killing. Rather, it was the exclusive skill that it learned at Bronze, Two-Strike Kill.
The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee had two sharp stingers on its abdomen that contained two different kinds of bee venom. These super toxic bee venoms might not be powerful to kill on their own, but if they came into contact, an extremely strong reaction would immediately occur and disintegrate the part of the target’s body that came into contact with the mixed bee venom.
The most powerful thing about Two-Strike Kill was that it did not need to penetrate the armor.
Even if its abdominal stringers injected the two toxins into the target’s armor, they would produce a huge reaction that would disintegrate the parts of the target’s armor.
Then, Lin Yuan tested the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s Two-Strike Kill. He looked at the corroded and disintegrated metal spiritual ingredients in his hand and gained a better understanding of its exclusive skill’s power.
If the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee stung those Platinum defense-type feys that were not super strong with its abdominal stingers, the parts that came into contact would be violently corroded and even disintegrated. However, it was hard for it to hit a part of the Platinum feys twice with its abdominal stingers.
Lin Yuan was delighted with this Gold I/Legend source-type Acid Corrosion Queen Bee.
Upon seeing it fluttering among Red Thorn’s vines with a relaxed look, he could not help but think of the cruelty behind the surface of the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, especially the two abdominal stingers that could use Two-Strike Kill.
As the saying went, “Nothing is more poisonous than a wasp’s stinger!”
In nature, the queen bee was responsible for producing a colony in the hive, which was not the case for the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee. It produced offspring called the Acid-Swallowing Larvae that were relief food it saved in advance.
When the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee tried to please Red Thorn, it seemed like the most loyal bootlicker, but it was so cruel to her own offspring and enemies.
It could not be described as a contradiction, but this contradiction was compelling enough.
Lin Yuan stretched his body and stored Red Thorn and the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, which was staying in its body, back into the leaf-shaped Diamond fey storage box. Both needed great nutrition, and now was the best time for them to do so.
Lin Yuan did not choose to rest but summon Chimey. It looked a little dazed when it was summoned.
It used to be boisterous and clingy. However, it was frowning with an arduous expression, making Lin Yuan worry about it.
Why was Chimey despondent?
