Chapter 83 Killing Pigs to Make Armor
This bumblebee has a slightly elongated body. Compared with the sturdy and fat bodies of other bumblebees, it looks thinner. But the body is longer.
The head is brown, and the compound eyes look like two wide, strange eyes. Together with the bulging top of the head, it looks particularly vicious.
In fact, it has been extremely violent since being caught, biting and stinging all the time.
If you put a bee in now, it will probably tear it to pieces.
Its chest scutes and posterior scutes are extremely developed, and its abdomen is cylindrical with a smooth surface and densely covered with extremely fine carvings. There are circles of yellow and black lines on the body.
The third circle of yellow lines on the abdomen, near the bottom of the abdomen and tail, looks like a pointed V shape.
This is not the case with other common bumblebees.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Niu noticed that it was different at a glance and decided to catch it.
After careful identification, he obtained some data about this bumblebee.
[Bumblebee, a member of the Vespididae family of the order Hymenoptera, female (fully developed), has a lifespan of about 1 year, has special abilities, is extremely ferocious, and is highly toxic. 】
After the appraisal was completed, Qin Niu grinned.
The hornet was worth much more than he thought.
The lifespan of a common bumblebee worker bee is usually only about a month.
Short-lived worker bees may even live only half a month.
What Qin Niu caught was actually a potential queen bee, which was definitely an unexpected surprise.
At the time, he thought the bumblebee was just one of the better-developed worker bees, but he didn't expect it to be fully developed.
There may be several or even a dozen queen bees in a nest of bumble bees, but they have a strict hierarchy.
Only one queen bee has the authority to lay eggs.
Other queen bees do not have the right to lay eggs. Either the old queen bee takes over after the death, or she flies out to build a new nest.
What he caught was a quasi-queen, meaning it was worth much more than a regular wasp.
And this bumblebee actually has two special abilities.
Although these two special abilities are nothing compared to Qin Niu's termites, they can still double his worth.
I'm afraid those two special golden cicadas won't fetch much, but this bumblebee should fetch more than one tael of silver.
Qin Niu thought to himself.
With the treasure map of the Green Goblin, he really looked down upon a special queen bee of this level.
Moreover, there is already a bee queen, and his energy is limited, so it is impossible to raise another nest of bumblebees.
Additionally, he dislikes Bumblebee's bandit character.
I think they are too cruel.
Unless a bumblebee queen has special abilities that make Qin Niu's heart flutter, she won't consider keeping him as a pet.
The hard-working bees are his favorite. As long as they are well raised, they can brew royal jelly or even honey with special effects for him in the future. Their long-term value is much higher than that of bumblebees.
When he returned home, he spent 30 yuan to buy a small-eye fishing net, and then made a homemade bee-catching net.
Entered the mountain again.
This time, I was not polite and just wiped out the nest of bumblebees.
Only a few bumblebees escaped, and he caught the rest.
I specially selected some worker bees and bee pupae, and kept them for sale together with the would-be queen bee. Because the queen bee usually does not have the ability to eat, she needs to rely on worker bees for feeding.
With all the supporting services provided, you can earn a few more bucks when the time comes.
After carefully cleaning the entire nest of captured wasps, he caught a total of seven queen bees. Including the old queen bee of the colony.
There are so many queen bees in this colony.
Understandable.
The living environment in the wild is harsh, and accidents may happen to the queen bee at any time.
Prepare a few more, which can not only expand the group into groups, but also serve as princes in case of emergencies.
It's just that these seven queen bees are all ordinary queen bees, and there is no special queen bee.
A little disappointed.
But it was also within his expectations.
Special queen bees are extremely rare to begin with, so catching one is already a stroke of luck.
He did not execute these seven ordinary queen bees, but kept them in cages. In order to keep them alive, some worker bees and bee pupae are even provided.
No honey was found in the hive.
Only a few leftover bee carcasses were found, including the pupae of many bees.
The Hornets are a group of bandits who specialize in the business of robbing families and homes without any capital.
They never make honey, nor do they have the skills to collect pollen or make honey.
But many entomologists prefer to keep wasps instead.
Because of their amazing fighting prowess, a few hornets can kill an entire hive of bees.
They can be specially bred to help their masters fight.
The Green Goblin breeds wasps.
Qin Niu executed all the remaining wasps directly. Can't keep them.
Otherwise, his nest of bees may suffer disaster at any time.
Moo~!
Just then he heard the cry of a calf.
Turning his head to look at the bottom of the cliff not far away, his eyes lit up.
I am worrying about how to prepare food for the evening.
I saw the calf facing off against a few wild boars.
It was not the big wild boar we met yesterday, but a wild boar weighing about 200 kilograms and several wild boars of different sizes coming out to look for food.
Wild boars and cattle were supposed to be in harmony with each other.
Because neither party is in the other's food chain.
Perhaps feeling that the presence of the calf threatened the safety of the small wild boars, the big wild boar directly attacked the calf.
He lowered his head and rushed directly towards the calf.
A low luck sound kept coming from his mouth.
Qin Niu quickly prepared for support.
Yesterday, as soon as I showed my knife, I scared away a large wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms.
Learn your lesson today and try to act weaker.
The calf's reaction surprised him. Instead of running away, he started fighting with the wild boar.
Looking at it as just a calf, I didn't expect it to be flexible in its movements and very powerful in its counterattack.
It kept attacking the wild boar's body with its short horns.
Just because it is weak and its horns have not fully grown yet, the damage it causes to the wild boar is almost negligible.
Adult wild boars usually have rough skin and thick flesh, and even ferocious wild wolves sometimes cannot break through their defenses.
Qin Niu saw the calf fighting the wild boar happily, so he was not in a hurry to take action.
Instead, he slowly moved behind the wild boar.
He didn't talk about martial arts. He spotted a small wild boar weighing 40 to 50 pounds, rushed over to make a sneak attack, and killed it with one knife.
Hearing the screams of the little wild boar before it died, the big wild boar let out an angry cry.
He rushed towards Qin Niu with red eyes.
Hey, I'm just afraid you won't come.
Qin Niu is now much stronger and is really not afraid of it.
When it got close, it swung its long mouth upwards, trying to use its long pointed fangs to pierce Qin Niu's body, and then throw him into the sky.
One slash of the knife.
The explosive special effect was directly cut out.
About two-thirds of the entire pig's head was chopped off, and a layer of neck skin was hung around the neck.
Blood also spurted out.
He seemed very excited after discovering that the sword was stained with pig blood.
What kind of knife is this?
Why do you feel like it's getting more and more evil?
I always think about drinking blood all day long.
The big wild boar did not fall to the ground immediately, but rushed out more than ten meters away, hit a tree with its head, and fell to the ground.
The other little wild boars dispersed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Qin Niu immediately knelt down and took out a small jar containing pig blood.
Feeding bear blood to termites successfully evolved termites with strong attributes. Try the effect of pig blood.
The big wild boar was not completely dead and was still struggling.
But it could no longer scream.
Qin Niu held it down and drank some pig blood, feeling that it tasted a bit salty.
His cultivation seems to have increased slightly.
The effect was much worse than if he drank bear blood.
It seems to be similar to what he guessed. After the blood food supplement reaches a certain level, the effect will become worse and worse.
Two wild boar carcasses, one big and one small, should be able to feed him many meals.
After the big wild boar was completely dead, he dragged the two wild boar carcasses down the mountain.
Pork skin seems worthless.
The skin of this large wild boar can be used to make leather armor.
It's just that he doesn't have the skills.
Prepare to drag it back and peel off the pig skin.
The skin and meat of the little wild boar are so tender that they can be eaten together.
After harvesting two wild boars at one time and catching the quasi-queen of a special bumblebee, he couldn't help but fall in love with this mountain even more.
As long as you have the ability, the mountain is an inexhaustible treasure.
There are countless treasures of heaven and earth inside.
Now he no longer has to sneak around to bring his prey home.
Just drag it back in an open and honest manner.
Wang Haikun dared to come and snatch it, and he didn't mind teaching the village bully to behave with his tail between his legs.
With the presence of level three termites, the identity of the insect master has been stabilized.
Qin Niu no longer has to be afraid of Wang Haikun's brother behind him.
When he came to the ant nest, he specially fed them pig blood.
What kind of changes it can bring is currently unknown, so we need to wait patiently for a while.
I simply fed them some bumblebee carcasses.
Qin Niu then dragged the wild boar down the mountain.
After returning to the village, a group of talkative women inevitably started talking about him. Many villagers looked at the two wild boars he got curiously, with deep envy in their eyes.
After Qin Niu dragged the wild boar home in a fair manner, he boiled water and plucked out the hair, then cut open the little wild boar, cut it in half, and carried it to the door of Fu Wang's house next door.
Knock on the door.
Wu Ma opened the door.
Take care of your young lady's body.
Qin Niu only said one word, handed half of the pork into Wu's mother's hands and left.
The meat yield rate of a pig after slaughter is about 70%.
The meat of this little wild boar should be very delicious.
Because they are omnivorous animals, they eat all kinds of snakes, insects, ants, beasts, tree roots and fruits.
Therefore, the nutritional value of wild boar is much higher than that of domestic pigs.
Mr. Wang stood in the main hall and watched without showing his face.
Looking at that expression, I want to refuse, but wouldn't it be stupid to refuse to eat the meat that reaches my mouth?
So it seems very contradictory.
In the end, Qin Niu turned around and left. Rich Wang didn't say anything, let alone show up.
Master, after accepting the pork, aren't you afraid that the young lady will become more interested in that cow?
The maid whom the rich man bought reminded him softly.
If she is not accepted as a concubine by the rich man Wang, she will always be a servant of the Wang family. This is the rule.
She is clearly equivalent to Wang Wanyan's stepmother, but she still wants to call her miss.
Hmph, you want to take advantage of my daughter with half the pork. That kid is thinking too much! She will be 15 soon. When Wan Yan meets Mr. Lu, she will never look down on A Niu in this poor ravine. Shui. Only then will the flow go to the lower place, and people will go to the higher place. I believe that my daughter has this wisdom.
How could Mr. Wang be willing to push out half of the pork delivered to his door?
After Wu Ma collected it, she made it into delicacies for them to enjoy.
Qin Niu returned home after delivering the pork and began to carefully peel off the skin of the big wild boar.
I happen to be going into the city tomorrow and I'll ask the master to make leather armor, which will have some self-defense effect.
Wild boar skin is much stronger than ordinary pig skin.
Not even cowhide can compare to it.
After cleaning up the two pigs, pickled them, cooked them again, and enjoyed them deliciously.
After eating and drinking, he took out a common bumblebee.
I'm going to give one a try.
