Angel's meditation world.
Located deep in the sea, Changqingdao is a place where it is spring all year round.
On the isolated island, there grow many giant Titan trees reaching into the sky.
The flowers of the Titan tree bloom all year round.
The flowers are so large that adults can climb up and down on them like tiny insects.
Two tribes of bee people, the Triae and the Abe, have inhabited the island since ancient times.
The Titan flower fields provide beekeepers with a source of nectar for survival.
The two major bee tribes share the flower fields and jointly maintain the peace of Changqing Island and resist foreign invasions.
As time went on, both bee tribes reproduced.
The bee population is growing, and the flower fields are no longer enough.
In order to compete for nectar sources, friction often occurs between the two major bee tribes.
In order to avoid war, the queen bees of the two tribes agreed to divide the flower fields equally.
On this basis, both sides had to strictly control the population size to ensure that the population size would not exceed the support limit of the flower fields.
At the beginning, both parties were able to strictly implement the agreement.
The population size of the two major bee tribes stopped growing rapidly and remained within a relatively healthy range for generational replacement.
Unfortunately, this fragile balance could not last long.
For unknown reasons, the queen bee of the Yabei bee tribe suddenly changed her temperament. She brazenly tore up the agreement between the two tribes and started a war!
Ambitious, he intends to dominate all the flower fields on the island!
The Yabei bee tribe's army is approaching, and the Trier bee tribe rises up to resist in order to preserve their share of the flower fields!
The war between the two major bee tribes lasted for many years.
Both sides paid heavy sacrifices, and neither side could completely defeat the other.
In order to win, the two bee tribes actively recruited soldiers.
Foreign adventurers are also able to enter the hive city and serve .
The so-called "beehive city" is actually a huge beehive built on the branches of the Titan tree.
Both the Abe and the Triae have many such nests.
According to the size and population of the hive, it is divided into several levels such as "village", "town" and "city".
The largest beehive among them is called the "Beehive City" and serves as the capital of the bee people.
The Yabei bee tribe and the Trier bee tribe are both typical daughter-dominated countries.
There are many female bees, they collect flowers and make nectar, and they are brave and good at fighting.
Drones are rare and short-lived, and are neither good at fighting nor at collecting honey.
The social status of both sexes often depends on the division of labor.
Since male bees are so useless, their social status is certainly not high.
Female bee people, influenced by the national tradition of women being superior to men, mostly look down on drones, and even males of other races.
In the bee-people society, male bees are a sexual resource whose value lies in providing seeds of life or sexual services to female bees.
Scarcity makes things valuable, and not all female bees are eligible to enjoy male bees.
The queen bee has a firm grip on most of the males in the colony, using them to fill her huge harem.
Monopoly of resources is the key factor that makes the queen bee highly respected and envied by other female bees.
Every queen bee is a wise person in the hive.
The clever queen bee certainly understands that if she controls all the male bees in her hands, it will inevitably arouse the jealousy of all the female bees.
The foundation of his own rule will no longer be stable.
The female bees must be given some sweetness and entertainment to relieve the fatigue accumulated from work and fighting.
For this purpose, the queen bee has set up two special entertainment institutions.
The first type of institution is similar to the official brothels in human society.
If a male bee makes a mistake, angers the queen bee, or gets tired of having fun, he will be sent to a brothel to work as a gigolo.
Female bees use honey or magic stones as currency to buy pleasure in brothels.
In this way, the queen bee can also recycle valuable resources such as honey and magic stones to enrich the treasury, killing two birds with one stone!
In the hive city, there are more wolves than meat, and there are not enough male bees in the brothel, so the female bees go outside to kidnap humanoid creatures.
Kill all the women, the elderly, the weak and the disabled, and capture as many young and strong men alive as possible.
The captured men will first be selected by the queen bee.
The queen bee will take the one she likes into her harem.
Those that the queen bee doesn't like are sent to brothels to serve as servants.
Although drones generally have a low social status, there are exceptions.
For example, the courtesan in a brothel is regarded as a public idol!
The final destination is often to be taken into the harem by the queen bee.
A beehive city where the people value martial arts.
The Colosseum was an important entertainment venue, on par with brothels.
The Colosseum offers two types of activities, gladiatorial combat and jousting.
Gladiators were usually prisoners of war and killed each other for the entertainment of the audience.
The competition is conducted by the most skilled fighters among the female bees.
Female bees who perform well in the competition will be awarded the title of "soldier bee" and gain a high status in the bee colony society.
Soldier bees are freed from their jobs and are solely responsible for combat. They belong to the "knight" class in the bee colony and can receive a stipend and afford to keep servants.
If soldier bees make contributions on the battlefield, they can receive special treatment.
The queen bee will choose a male bee from her harem and give it to her as a son-in-law .
The soldier bees who are awarded the title of son-in-law by the emperor are one of the very few female bees in the hive city who have a legal spouse, except for the queen bee.
It can be called the “winner of bee life”!
The ancestral spirit that Anqi merged with was a young female Trier bee.
This bee girl was originally just an ordinary worker bee. She was tired of the boring honey-collecting work and longed to become a soldier bee.
To do this, she needs to stand out in the tournament.
Allen was also summoned to the Hive City by Angel.
The identity he made up for himself was that of a wandering mercenary from the Demon Leopard Clan.
If Alan, the mercenary, wants to accompany Angel to the battlefield, he must first prove himself in the tournament.
So, both of them signed up for the Trier Bee Tribe recruitment meeting held in the spring of that year!
The soldier bees of the Triae are generally taller and more muscular than the worker bees.
The average height is 1.8 meters and the weight is no less than 160 kilograms.
In comparison, the ancestral spirit that Angel had fused with was too thin and small. In front of the tall and muscular soldier bee examiner, it looked like a stunted child.
"You are too thin and small to be a soldier. Go home and collect honey!" the recruiting officer said in a cold tone.
The conscription officer judged people by appearance, and An Qi was naturally dissatisfied and argued:
"You're small and skinny, so it's harder to get hit!"
"I haven't tested it yet, how do you know I can't do it?"
"Humph! You're asking for trouble, you stubborn little girl!"
The recruiting officer personally came out to test Angie's strength.
Two of her fellow soldier bees served as referees and also brought two sets of equipment specifically for soldier bees.
Includes a chain mail shirt, a short sword, a longbow, and a tube of arrows.
The dagger and arrows are both forged from cold iron.
Cold iron is a special type of steel that has special effects on demons and fey creatures.
The weapons of the Triae bee tribe are mostly made of cold iron.
Because their arch-enemies, the Yabe Bees, have fey blood, it is difficult to penetrate their natural armor with weapons other than cold iron.
In contrast, the natural armor of the Triae bees is only silver-plated weapons, ignoring their damage reduction effects.
Therefore, the weapons of the Yabei bee tribe are mostly made of refined silver.
The protective gear of the bee tribe is mostly refined chain mail shirts.
A chain mail shirt is like a shirt woven from steel wire.
It can be worn close to the body, highlighting a good figure and not hindering flying, but it cannot protect the lower body.
Human soldiers wear chain mail shirts, and also have to match them with protective gear such as skirt armor and greaves.
The bee people don't need to do that.
Bee people are natural shapeshifting creatures with three forms: humanoid, giant bee, and hybrid.
A hybrid form, half human, half bee.
Above the waist is a human shape, below the waist is a plump bee abdomen, and the female bee has a poisonous stinger on its tail.
When beemen fight, they usually transform into hybrid or giant bee forms in order to fly.
In these two forms, the lower body is too different from the human form, so it is not suitable for wearing armor, nor is there any need to wear armor.
The round abdomen of the bee has a smooth and tough chitin exoskeleton, and its defense is as strong as an iron plate.
The problem was that Angie's chainmail shirt didn't fit her properly.
It looks like a child wearing an adult's coat, which is extremely funny.
There was laughter inside and outside the arena.
"Can you give me a smaller chainmail shirt?"
Angie asked the referee with a blushing face.
Then it was ruthlessly rejected.
Military armor has fixed specifications and is designed and manufactured according to the average body shape of soldier bees. It is not a big problem if it is a little fatter or thinner.
But...by the standards of a soldier bee, Angie is too thin.
Compared with the standard body shape, she is 30 centimeters shorter and 70 kilograms thinner.
The gap is so huge that it cannot support military armor at all!
In the end, An Qi had to give up wearing armor and go on stage in cloth clothes.
Because of this farce, the audience on the sidelines were not optimistic about Angie's ability to pass the conscription test.
Her examiner did not underestimate her and was determined to teach this ignorant girl a lesson.
As soon as the competition started, he used his ultimate move!
The two major bee tribes are equally martial.
But the types of martial arts they are good at are very different.
The Yabei bee tribe is better at close combat.
The Trier bee tribe, experts in long-range shooting.
The Trier soldiers are all sharpshooters.
The examiner shot out three cold iron arrows in one breath, forming a line and whizzing towards Angel!
First-level martial arts—three consecutive shots of gale!
In martial arts competitions, blunt-tipped arrows are used, which cannot kill people.
But the blunt force trauma was not light, considering An Qi's petite and fragile body...
Onlookers thought that she couldn’t even withstand a single arrow!
The next scene surprised everyone.
Angie, who is clearly a bee girl , leans over and turns into a white cat!
With a series of dazzling jumps and tumbles, he narrowly avoided three consecutive arrows!
"What kind of magic is this?"
"'Transformation Technique'?"
"A transformation technique can't turn a person into a cat! Could it be... a 4th level 'Transfiguration'?!"
"I really didn't realize that! Little girl, you're quite amazing!"
There was a lot of discussion outside the venue.
Angel's dual animal bloodline corresponds to richer transformation abilities.
In addition to the three ordinary bee-man forms, she also has two additional forms - cat-man and cat.
Avoiding three consecutive shots from the soldier bees, the white cat turned over and turned back into human form.
Angel's body shape changed drastically before and after the transformation.
Non-magical equipment, cannot change size according to body size.
When Angie stood up, her coat, dagger, and bow and arrows were all left on the arena.
She was only wearing underwear, which looked extremely thin.
Angel didn't care about being unarmed, as she didn't rely on the bee people's equipment to fight.
He chanted the spell softly, and flames shot out from his palms, transforming into a pair of blazing and dazzling flaming scimitars!
“It’s my turn!”
The girl's pretty face is full of murderous intent!
The two swords crossed and swung out a flaming wave in the air!
Swish!
The Qi force transformed into two fiery red crescents, crossing and slashing towards the soldier bee examiner in mid-air.
The examiner's face changed suddenly!
She didn't dare to take the flaming slashing wave head-on, and hurriedly used another secret martial art of the Trie Bee Clan, and her muscular body turned into a ball of silver mist.
Bang!
A blazing slashing wave came roaring in, shattering the mist.
At the same time, the soldier bee had been teleported a hundred steps away and narrowly escaped the disaster!
Allen, who was watching the game on the sidelines, raised his eyebrows, as if thinking about something.
The heritage of the Trier Bee Clan includes the tier 2 martial art “Phantom Steps”.
From this point of view, Angel will have a chance to awaken this move in the future.
In the arena, Angel transformed again.
Transform into bee-man form, fly at high speed, and chase down soldier bees!
The soldier bee was beaten by her and had no choice but to escape from the field.
Two referees on the sidelines blew their whistles at the same time, announcing that An Qi won.
In the audience, people stood up and applauded, cheering for Anqi's performance!
Congratulations on successfully passing the assessment and becoming a soldier bee!
“It’s incredible!”
In the grandstand box, Queen Bee Trier waved her folding fan in admiration.
"Such a thin and weak girl actually possesses such strong fighting power!"
…
Soon after, it was Alan's turn to appear as a mercenary and undergo assessment.
His opponent was also a Trier Soldier Bee, and was even stronger than Angel's previous opponent.
Seeing that Alan was tall and strong, the soldier bee wisely chose the "kite" tactic.
It transforms into a half-human, half-bee form, flaps its wings and hangs in the air, maintaining a height of 20 meters above the ground.
Alan tried to use the "Finger Wave".
The result was as expected. The soldier bee, with its high agility attribute, easily dodged the finger force.
While dodging at high speed in the air, the soldier bee used another secret martial art of the Trier bee tribe.
Magic power gushed out from the palms of his hands, condensing into two 20-meter-long, translucent force field threads.
The tier 2 martial skill "Fighting Spirit Transformed into Silk" is both tough and sticky, and can be used to tie up prey, assist in jumping, sliding, and climbing. It is a versatile martial skill.
The soldier bee examiner demonstrated a high-level control skill, with two fighting spirit threads tied to two cold iron daggers.
When she swung her arms, the thread of fighting spirit pulled the dagger and stabbed Alan through the air!
Control the silk with Qi and control the sword with silk!
Control it as you wish, as easy as using your own arm!
“It’s fun to play, but that’s all.”
Allen stood in the middle of the field, facing the dazzling array of wire-controlled flying swords, and made his comments.
"Such fancy tricks have no effect on me."
clang!
clang!
Two flying swords pierced Alan's chest and back one after another.
Sparks flew and were directly bounced away!
The soldier bee’s sword-controlling skills are very clever, but unfortunately the sword is not good enough to penetrate the “iron bones”!
Alan stood in the middle of the field, letting her control the sword to chop, stab and stab.
The soldier bee was so busy that he was sweating profusely, and Alan was not even hurt.
Alan took off his tattered shirt and threw it casually on the arena, revealing his muscular body shining with metallic luster.
The audience on the sidelines, most of whom were female bees, whistled collectively when they saw Allen shirtless.
The excitement is no less than that of a pervert who frequents a strip club!
On the second floor of the stands, in the most luxurious box.
Queen Bee Trier, who was sitting in an armchair, leaned forward with her beautiful eyes shining.
The palace maid presented the telescope with great courtesy.
The queen bee looked through the monocular telescope and carefully observed the tall and straight young mercenary on the field.
The camera moved down and stayed between his legs for a long time, with an ambiguous smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
"This is the only handsome man I've ever seen in my life. Don't miss him!"
He then ordered his attendants to summon this man to the palace for an audience after the conscription meeting was over.
"Your Majesty, what if that boy fails the test?"
A fanning drone next to the queen bee asked sourly.
The queen bee looked at her male favorite with pity.
"You can't even see through other people's true colors, and yet you're just jealous. You're so stupid!"
"This makes me worry that if I have favor with a fool like you, I will become foolish myself."
"Someone, take this little idiot to the brothel to pick up customers."
"Although he's not very smart, at least he has a nice body. He can help me make some money, so it's not a loss."
The drone was so frightened that it immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
However, the queen bee was no longer interested in him and was too lazy to even look at him.
He turned around leisurely, picked up the telescope, and returned his gaze to the arena.
Two soldier bee guards dragged the crying and begging drone out of the box.
The wailing sound gradually faded away, and the box returned to silence.
The rest of the male concubines who served the Queen Bee...all looked at each other in horror and remained silent!
Your Majesty's favor and dislike are just a matter of thought.
For the drones around her, fate was a transformation from heaven to hell.
Serving the king is like serving a tiger, it is no joke!
Queen Trier was not a tyrant, on the contrary, she was known as a wise king.
She simply disdained to explain to the male favorite who served her with his beauty that a mercenary who had mastered the fourth-level body-refining secret technique could never lose to an ordinary soldier bee.
Explaining these obvious things was a sheer waste of her energy and even a bit of an insult to her intelligence.
She didn't want to lower her intelligence to the level of her male favorites.
The male pet was just a cute little thing she kept for fun and to vent her excess energy.
She doesn't mind if her pet is a little dumb, being silly can also be cute.
However, he is stupid, petty, and eager to win favor, which shows that he has no idea what he is doing.
A wise and intelligent king could not tolerate such a hidden danger in his harem.
