Chapter 35 Expanding the Swarm

Before setting off, Qi Yuan suddenly suggested: "Brother Qin, let's go around here."

Qi Yuan pointed to a dense red spot in the forest.

Qin Zhenjun immediately understood what he meant: "A bee colony? OK, this bee colony doesn't look big, there are less than a thousand, just enough to replenish your bee colony."

After slightly changing the route, the two set off together and walked towards the depths of the forest.

On the way, Qi Yuan also found a piece of good-grade wood, which was a birch tree, but the number was very small.

After recording the location, he continued to move forward.

Soon, we came to the depths of the forest and found scattered bees. It seemed that because of the weather, the bee colony seemed a little depressed.

Looking at the style of the bee colony, it should be the same species as the tree bee, with a yellow-black body, a relatively small size, and no desire to attack, and mainly relying on collecting honey for a living.

This made Qi Yuan feel relieved.

If there are more than 3,000 black tiger bees, then there is no need to fight. The more than 1,000 tree bee colonies in my house are not enough to fill their teeth. Maybe even I will have to take a beating.

Approaching the tree where the beehive is located, I finally saw the specific appearance of the bee colony.

A huge beehive is hanging on a tree several meters high, surrounded by dense bees.

The number of bee colonies is much larger than the previous tree hole bee colony, but the strength should not be too strong.

In order to save time as much as possible, Qi Yuan does not intend to let the two groups of bee colonies fight, but directly go up.

That's right, burn it directly!

Under the tree where the beehive is located, there are firewoods for burning. Because it has just snowed, it took a lot of time to find firewood.

This time it is not a simple smoke, but the whole tree is directly set on fire.

The fire ignited at the root of the tree, and the flames spread on the trunk.

Because the bark is dry and flammable, and the inner core is more humid, it burns more slowly.

So soon, the flames spread along the trunk and all the way to the tree.

Many bees close to the hive were burned to death because they had no time to dodge.

And Qi Yuan's purpose of doing this is very simple, which is to force the queen bee out.

Not long after, a fist-sized figure flew out of the hive.

"That's it!"

Qi Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered the black tiger queen bee to lead his own bee colony and rush to the tree queen bee quickly.

Originally thought that it could be easily solved, but unexpectedly there was still an accident.

In the bee colony, there are 3 more bees that are about the same size as the queen bee, just a circle smaller than the tree bees.

Qi Yuan estimated that the probability of these 3 tree bees is also good-level strength.

Although the Black Tiger Bee Queen was strong, two fists could not beat four hands, and was blocked by four good-level tree bees.

This made the battle tense.

Qi Yuan frowned and thought it was not good.

The number of the tree bee colony was at a disadvantage, and the overall strength was far weaker than the opponent, so it could only rely on decapitation to win.

Once the time was dragged on too long, it would be very disadvantageous for the tree bee colony, and it was very likely to be slowly devoured by the opponent's bee colony that was several times larger.

"Brother Qin, it seems that you still need to help."

"Okay, no problem."

Qin Zhenjun readily agreed, took out the bow and arrow, bent the bow and shot the arrow.

Bang!

The bow and arrow shot at a good-level tree bee.

The tree bee was not directly pierced, but was knocked several meters away and fell on the ground without moving.

Qin Zhenjun was shocked: Although it was just an ordinary bow and arrow, it could shoot through the wolf directly before, but it was blocked by a bee.

What a hard shell!

"It is really a good beast, and the difference between it and ordinary beasts is so big!" Qin Zhenjun was amazed.

Although the tree bee that was hit was very likely to die, the hardness of its shell was incredible.

There were two bows and arrows, one successful and one failed.

A good-level tree bee fell on the ground.

Now there is only one good-level tree bee and the tree bee queen left on the battlefield.

The black tiger queen bee was under less pressure, and she beat the tree bee queen. It didn't take long for her to subdue it.

The battle between the two bee colonies was forced to stop after the tree bee queen was captured.

Just like last time, the "holding the queen bee to command the bee colony" method temporarily controlled the group of tree bees.

If you want to really control it, you have to wait until you return to the shelter, put the bee colony into the animal pen, tame a common tree bee, and then train it into a queen bee.

This will be a relatively long process.

But for the time being, this bee colony has been controlled by Qi Yuan.

The tree bee colony has grown again, with a number of more than 2,300, and at the same time, one or two good-level tree bees have been added, and the strength has increased.

As for the two tree bees that were shot down...

Qi Yuan was worried that the tree bees were too strong, and if there were two more good-level tree bees, it would be difficult to control them. So he killed them directly.

But no resource box was dropped.

After dealing with all the ordinary-level bees that were killed and injured, only two ordinary resource boxes were obtained.

Qi Yuan looked at the expanding bee colony and the resource boxes, and his mouth was grinning to the back of his head.

"Brother Qin, I didn't expect that hunting wild animals would yield so much!"

"Not really, it just happens that there are more small wild animals here, and we are stronger.

For ordinary survivors, without wild animal search scrolls, bee colonies, and weak individual strength, let alone hunting wild animals, they dare not even walk around in the wild.

The five skinny wolves we encountered, no matter how weak they were, were not something an ordinary person could handle. "

Qin Zhenjun solemnly explained that hunting requires sufficient caution, and any thought of contempt is fatal.

Just like Qin Zhenjun himself, he had also been attacked by a swarm of black tiger bees. If it weren't for Qi Yuan's healing potion, he could have healed the wound and prevented the toxin from spreading throughout his body. He probably wouldn't make it through that.

Qi Yuan also nodded in approval.

Being able to run rampant in the forest today was the result of the combined strength of two people.

They are still two very good people!

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan stopped smiling, regained his cautious mood, and continued to move forward.

괗굛 minutes later, the two came to a rock wall several 굛 meters high. The rock wall was covered with green trees and vines.

If you look carefully, you can vaguely feel that there is a cave behind the tree vine.

The two did not approach rashly, but hid nearby to check.

Qin Zhenjun explored the nearby environment and found a pool of water.

Pushing aside the snow on the ground, a few footprints appeared on the mud.

"It's a wild boar!"

Qin Zhenjun and Qi Yuan recognized it at the same time, and they couldn't help but feel nervous.

The two looked at each other, silently exited the area near the cave, and returned to the relative safety of 눓뀘.

Qin Zhenjun looked grave and said: "It seems to be a wild boar cave. Wild boars generally like to live in caves or by rivers. They sleep during the day and forage at night. They should be sleeping now, so we don't need to worry too much."

However, we still have to discuss whether we should take action or not.

You also saw the row of footprints, which are much larger than those of ordinary wild boars. This shows that the wild boars here are very special and very strong. "

Qi Yuan frowned in thought and asked: "Brother Qin꺶, according to your experience, what is the strength of the wild boar?"

"If it is an adult male wild boar, it should be... the top good level. My current strength can probably be ranked in the middle or upper level among the good levels."

Qin Zhenjun thought for a while and said seriously.

Qi Yuan's heart sank. In other words, in a one-on-one fight, Brother Qin probably wouldn't be a match for a wild boar.

What's more, there are four heads here!
