The record of beetle bees in "Tales of the Wild Mountains" is this, they are a flexible and changeable earth beast. The earliest discovery was not in China, but in Egyptian scarabs. Of course, the beetle bee is not a scarab beetle, but a close relative of the scarab beetle, and some scholars even believe that the beetle bee is a mutation of the scarab beetle. There are many different theories. The time period introduced to China is speculated to be the Western Zhou Dynasty in "Strange Tales of the Mountains and Wilds", but the specific time can no longer be verified. The number of beetle bees is not very large, and each queen bee corresponds to about 2,000 worker bees, which is not very many, but the combat effectiveness is very amazing. The carapace on their backs is hard and regenerating, and the stinger is much more lethal than that of ordinary bees, and it is so poisonous that the nerves of the person who are stabbed will be destroyed in a matter of seconds, and then fall into a coma of about one to five minutes. The most surprising thing about beetles is their terrifying ability to run long distances, ordinary bees are not suitable for long-distance flights, especially not near water, but bees do not have these concerns. According to the record in "Strange Tales of the Mountains", it was found that the beetle bees that had the longest distance flew more than 2,000 kilometers, which is simply an astronomical number.

"Is there any way to deal with them?" I asked, the number of bee colonies in front of me was not very large, but it looked quite terrifying, densely packed in a large area. And the combat effectiveness is very amazing, will work as a team, generally about five bees besiege one person, two frontal attacks, two back attacks, and one waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack. Even in order to hurt others, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of his companions in exchange for letting our people show their flaws.

The lethality of the flames to them is still very strong, but these bees are also very experienced in combat, and the rest of the dozens of bees after being burned to death by the fire charm immediately learn to be obedient and hide when they see the flames. It is not easy to control the fire talisman, and it is difficult to turn a corner after flying into the air, so when the beetle bee finds out that the fire talisman is powerful, it only needs to be cautious to dodge, and it will basically not be hit. A large number of fire charms were wasted, and after falling to the ground, they were quickly extinguished by their own people, otherwise the freighter would be lit and everyone would have finished playing.

"Water cannons! Turn on the water cannon, quick! At this time, someone finally had a brain, and in the midst of the shouting, two heavy water cannons were turned and aimed at the beetle bees flying in the air.

"Ready, launch!" A thick jet of water erupted, and a white crystal column of water slammed into the bee colony, and a large number of bee bee wings were wet and fell from the air to the deck.

"Haha, it has an effect, kill the monster that falls!"

Although the battle was chaotic, the efficiency of the battle immediately increased by more than a little as soon as someone began to take command. The people around him pulled out daggers and even pistols and blasted at the bees on the ground. Immediately a number of bees were killed, and these earth beasts, about twice the size of ordinary bees, were killed on the deck like flying insects that we had killed with a fly swatter.

"Haha, keep going!" Seeing the effectiveness of the water cannon, everyone was in high spirits and continued to bombard the remaining bees in the same way. But these earth beasts also knew that they were powerful, and after sacrificing hundreds of bees, they turned around and began to retreat, they did not fly very fast, so dozens of them were shot down, but the rest still flew out of the range of the water cannon.

I saw the beetle retreat and immediately let go of the trick, but I heard Old Man Tao mutter, "Strange, really strange." ”

"What's weird?" Qianli Yulang also heard Tao Lao's self-talk, and couldn't help but ask.

"It stands to reason that bees, like bees, are creatures that are disciplined and act on orders. They seldom take matters into their own hands and follow the queen's commands. But I didn't see the queen bee in the battle just now...... "Old man Tao's words also aroused my doubts. If these earth beasts flew from the demon mountain that was still far away, the distance was at least tens of kilometers or even farther, how could the queen bee's orders be conveyed to the brains of these bees so quickly and quickly?

"I don't quite understand." The former Li Yulang didn't understand what Old Man Tao said.

"Let me explain. It's like your former Li Yulang is now a robot, and I'm the one who gave the order. The range of the order is only fifty kilometers, and now I say to you, former Li Yulang, you go a hundred kilometers away to kill someone. Naturally, you will go, but when you get there, you will be met with stubborn resistance from the enemy, and you will almost be defeated. At this time, you have to remember that you are a robot and will not have much self-awareness, so you will not run away and will not actively retreat, but will stay where you are and continue to fight. Of course, I want to give you orders, but you are too far away from me for my orders to be conveyed to you. Speaking of this, the former Li Yulang suddenly opened his mouth and woke up: "I understand, these bees are robots, and the queen bee is the one who gives orders." If they receive an order from the queen bee to attack us, they will continue to do so without choosing to retreat halfway through the process, unless the queen bee gives us the order. ”

"Right!" I smiled and said, "And the queen bee generally doesn't fly out of the nest easily, the nest must be on that demon mountain, such a distance, is it possible for the queen bee's order to be conveyed?" ”

This question is what I asked Old Man Tao, and there is no answer in my knowledge base. Old Man Tao thought for a while and said, "Theoretically, it's impossible, but it's an ancient demon mountain after all. Just as theoretically, it is impossible for a mackerel to grow to a length of more than ten meters, but here, you can see five or six meters, or even seven or eight meters of mackerel everywhere. ”

"Then if the queen bee's orders can't reach that far...... It's complicated......" I said an intriguing remark as I looked at the people in front of me who were busy cleaning up the mess.

The harassment of the bees prevented everyone from getting a good night's sleep, but the fatigue of one night did not affect much, and the next day the three freighters continued to move forward. In order to ensure safety, the speed of the voyage has been very slow, so by the afternoon of the next day, we still did not reach the demon mountain on the horizon, but we were closer, and we could already see the full outline of the demon mountain. And all kinds of monsters that emerge from the surrounding sea are also endless, and it is obvious that the closer you are to the demon mountain, the stronger and more aggressive the monsters. There were several skirmishes, but none of them suffered significant casualties.

"If nothing else, we will be able to reach the Demon Mountain tomorrow." Li Kuo and I have been very close these days, and the originally secret alliance is now on the table.

We were talking on the deck one after another, when we suddenly saw Yue Cheng's man walking out with a boxy thing, which looked like a cage, about a meter high and wide. It was covered with a black cloth, and it seemed to be locked up in the cage, and it was quite struggling.

"What's that?" The former Li Yulang asked strangely.

"It's an eagle trained by Yue Cheng."

Ancient ethnic minorities, especially nomadic people, often train eagles as their own reconnaissance tools, high-speed flight up to 300 kilometers per hour, flight altitude up to thousands of meters and at high speed when you can see even a little rabbit on the ground running, this can be said to be a perfect reconnaissance tool, but falconry is difficult, taming is even more difficult.

I saw that Yue Cheng was wearing a white thick cloth glove on his hand, and after opening the cage, a huge black figure suddenly jumped out of it, and flew into the air with a few flutters. At this time, we saw clearly that it was a big black eagle in the air with a wingspan of about 1.5 meters!

"Whew!" Yue Cheng didn't panic at the big black eagle jumping into the air, he whistled, and the big black eagle in the air immediately fell from the sky obediently and stood firmly on Yue Cheng's arm.

"Good!" The subordinates around him immediately applauded loudly, Yue Cheng smiled, gently stroked the head of the big black eagle, and then turned around and snapped his fingers. I could see a little brother waiting behind him hurriedly took out two talismans, one of which was thrown into the bowl, and there was pale red water in the bowl, and the rune paper melted into the water immediately. Then Yue Yi picked up the bowl and put it in front of the big black eagle, and the big black eagle pecked a few bites.

Then Yue Cheng raised his arm, and the big black eagle immediately flew out, and at the same time, Yue Cheng put another talisman on his forehead, and I smiled when I saw this scene: "It turned out to be this trick." ”
