Chapter 106 -105: Swarm of Bumblebees

In the warm season, the snowline of Sharp Knife Mountain and Curved Blade Mountain would keep rising, and it had already climbed to the mid-mountain position.

The mountain tops are covered in immaculate white snow, while the mountain feet are lush and green.

Near the snowline, shrubbery dominates the landscape. At the moment, the Red-eyed Rat King stopped in front of a grove of shrubs and then carefully parted several clumps of bushes and squeezed through.

Kevin followed swiftly, and after making sure there was no danger, he emitted a soft whining sound.

Russell then squeezed into the bushes and immediately saw an exposed rock within, while the Red-eyed Rat King was sniffing around the base of the rock. You could see plump bees coming in and out of a small hole underneath the stone.

“Squeak, squeak!” the Red-eyed called out anxiously, trying to burrow into the cave underneath the rock.

However, having evolved into a Fantasy Beast, its size had swollen to twice its original, preventing it from fitting into the small hole anymore.

Kevin also stuck his head over, but he was even larger than the Red-eyed, making it even more impossible for him to get in.

Russell, however, was not in a hurry to investigate what was inside the cave. Instead, he reached out with one hand and caught a plump bee between his index and middle finger.

The bee was covered in fluff all over its body, resembling a small bear wrapped tightly.

Its short and stubby hind legs were caked with honey.

“Huh!”

Russell exclaimed in surprise.

He actually felt a faint, barely-there trace of magic from the small bee.

“Is it the magic carried by the honey? Or is it pollen from a Magic Potion flower?” His first guess was whether it was the magic carried by the honey, as Magic Potions also bloomed and relied on bees for pollination, so it was normal for there to be magic power.

But after a careful sensation, his eyes suddenly widened. “No, it’s not the magic of pollen. This pollen is just from ordinary flowers… which means, the bee itself carries a scent of magic!”

In an instant, he realized something.

First he glanced at the struggling bee in his hand, then at the Red-eyed Rat King; his thoughts were already complete. “No wonder the Red-eyed could evolve into a Fantasy Beast… it found a Primeval Bee Swarm and has been stealing honey infused with magic power every day!”

Without this honey imbued with magic power, a mere rat from the underground unable to satisfy its hunger would never have evolved.

So.

The Red-eyed’s evolution wasn’t by chance, but an inevitability… Of course, to evolve, the Red-eyed first had to have the talent.

Without the talent, even if it consumed a vast amount of magical honey, it would remain just a common large rat.

With inherent talent and coupled with this stroke of luck, the Red-eyed inevitably evolved into a Fantasy Beast.

“Phew, you lucky big rat!” Russell praised. “Primordial Beasts are usually bred and raised by humans, so those seen on the market are cultivated. Wild Primordial Beasts like this are almost non-existent!”

The harsh conditions of the wild make it difficult for wild beasts and insects to sustain the magic power required for a long-term fermentation process.

It could be said that this group of bees was the first time Russell had encountered wild Primordial Beasts.

Slap.

He slapped the frantic Red-eyed Rat King on the backside. “Stop rushing for honey now. I will reward you later with an extra meal for your commendable find-one-get-one behavior.”

He thought that a single Fantasy Beast would be the biggest discovery.

Yet unexpectedly, it came with a swarm of Primordial Bees, a real find-one-get-one-free bonanza.

“Squeak, squeak!”

“Make way, let me take a look,” Russell bent down to peer into the cave under the rock. As it was too dark below, he couldn’t clearly see where the bee nest was, but the bees flying in and out proved that there indeed was a nest inside.

He stood up and looked down towards the grape vineyard below.

He stroked his chin, “My father’s territory is Glowing Valley, the valley between Sharp Knife Mountain and Curved Blade Mountain. Strictly speaking, the mountain itself isn’t within my father’s territory, so this bee swarm is unclaimed.”

With that thought, he muttered to himself in satisfaction, “Since it is so, and it is a gift from my Red-eyed in honor of me, then I’ll gladly accept it!”

He decided to first return, then bring people to dig out the beehive and take it back for cultivation.

“Once I succeed in breeding the bees, I’ll distribute part of the swarm along with the breeding techniques to the family.”

He beckoned to Kevin and the Red-eyed, Russell took the lead in crawling out of the bushes, contentedly thinking, “Always shearing the family’s wool, as a son, I should contribute to the household. These bees, I’ll consider them a tribute to father and mother.”

Half an hour later.

Russell came back with a group of people, cut down the bushes, then lifted the rocks and dug out the cave where the beehive was.

In an instant, they saw a beehive that looked like a gigantic dinosaur egg, its brownish-gray color unmistakable.

The beehive, standing upright, was at least two meters tall.

Besides the few small holes for coming and going, the rest of the beehive was completely sealed, very peculiar.

At this moment, the beehive was shaken, and the bees inside flew out quickly, densely alighting on the people.

Fortunately, everyone was wrapped up tightly and not afraid of bee stings.

“It’s hard to imagine that such small creatures could build such a large nest,” Charles marveled, then laughed and said, “Sir, once you bring this thing back, you’ll have endless magic power honey.”

“It still depends on whether they can be raised successfully… Anyway, let’s move it back first,” Russell waved his hand.

The group immediately carried the gigantic beehive, excitedly returning to Wuyao Snake Manor.

“Sir, these bees don’t sting people, and they’re quite cute, round and chubby like little bears,” Charles kept talking on the way, “how about raising them in Magic Medicine Tun, let them collect pollen from magic potions.”

“That’s possible,” Russell nodded.

“It seems there’s no instance of anyone raising primordial bees,” Charles continued, “Sir, these bees might be the first of their kind, why don’t you name them?”

“Yes, please name the bees, Sir,” Hans also joined in the fun.

Russell smiled and said, “Then I’ll give them a name… Since these bees look like little bears, let’s call them… Bear Honeybees.”

“Good, that sounds nice!” Hans exclaimed in admiration.

“The name Sir gives is very fitting for these little bees!” Charles agreed wholeheartedly.

Hearing the two men’s praise, Eric really wanted to roll his eyes. He didn’t find the name Bear Honeybees catchy at all. It was no different from names like Brown Milk Cow, Short Wool Rabbit, Long-legged Duck, and other cultivated primordial beasts.

Just then, Russell suddenly looked at him, as if seeking his opinion.

Seeing this,

Eric nodded without hesitation: “Very good.”

“Great, since everyone agrees with the name, from now on, this group of cute primordial bees will be called Bear Honeybees.”

“Sir,” Charles said, “there’s no one in the territory who knows beekeeping, perhaps we should consult Fluorescent Castle. Lord Baron has beekeepers under him, we could hire a beekeeper to manage the bees for us.”

“Hmm, that’s a good idea, you arrange it.”

“As you wish.”

Every trade has its own master, and Russell didn’t know much about beekeeping. In his previous life, he often stumbled upon videos of catching bees and selling honey on TikTok.

So they had to hire a professional beekeeper.
