Chapter 121 Checking the Harvest

The specially evolved blood queen bee parasitizes on Carlos' back and continuously supplies energy to his body by absorbing royal jelly from the beehive throne.

This allowed Carlos to ignore attacks on his vital parts and survive even if his heart was pierced.

But when Rod pierced the blood queen bee behind him, the life of this beekeeper, who was not sure whether to say it was good luck or bad luck, came to an end.

At this moment in the cave, the descending crows were flapping their wings, constantly pulling out the specialized soldier bees from the bee colony.

After losing the command of the Blood Bee Queen, the specialized soldier bees did not even dare to resist and huddled in the rock wall in chaos.

Before long, one by one, the sharp claws of the Mist Raven were embedded in their heads.

The bodies were thrown from mid-air to the ground and piled up in a heap.

While the ravens were busy, Rhodes stood in front of Carlos' body.

Looking at the two-meter-high honeycomb throne beneath him.

The main body is made of beeswax and is a bright yellow with a slightly golden tint.

It contains a large amount of red honey brewed from blood and pollen.

The blood-colored royal jelly on the top is even more eye-catching, with a strong aroma mixed with a hint of rotten stench.

It makes people thirsty, yet also makes them want to vomit. The contrast is so great that it reveals an evil beauty.

After observation, Rhodes was a little disappointed.

Although royal jelly is rich in nutrients, the evolution of royal jelly is not complete, which causes the brewed honey to have a corrosive effect on biological cells.

While making people excited in the short term, it seriously damages their future lifespan.

This Beehive Throne is harmful if eaten or fed to animals.

Its next fate is to be thrown into the magic field by him, and after being digested, it will be used as fertilizer for magic plants.

An entire beehive throne, coupled with hundreds of specialized soldier bees, fed into the magic field, is estimated to be able to ripen two high-quality black wolfberries for him.

It is equivalent to training ten more knights, which is not a bad harvest.

After the conversion, Rhodes felt happy again.

It was actually an unexpected gain.

This time, they not only found a colony of northern black bees, but also found an ice crystal snow lotus that was about to be promoted to the second stage, as well as snow mountain cordyceps and high-altitude snow chrysanthemum.

Now we have obtained a lot of high-quality fertilizers. After sending them all back to Pingdingshan, it can be said that we have returned with a full load and there is nothing to be dissatisfied about.

After checking the spoils, Rhodes turned and walked towards Rensa and the villagers.

Over there, the villagers of Snow Mountain were startled by the descending flock of crows.

For fear of attracting their attention, they huddled their bodies tighter and dared not move.

Although the blood bee queen is terrifying, it is still within their understanding.

But these mysterious new crows are different.

Even the powerful bee colonies are vulnerable in front of them.

These villagers had no doubt that if the crows attacked, the cave would be completely littered with corpses.

Unlike the villagers, Lunsa was combing the feathers of a Mist Raven with a smile on her face.

The raven is the lord's messenger, and this has long been a consensus among the residents of the three territories.

On weekdays, villagers often feed bread to the ravens on the branches and pray for a peaceful day.

Lunsa was naturally no stranger to ravens.

But what she didn't expect was that these little guys, who acted as messengers most of the time and were inconspicuous in daily life, turned out to be so powerful.

Seeing Rhodes coming, the raven that was enjoying itself cawed twice, then flapped its wings and flew away from Lunsha's hand.

Rhode didn't care, but checked Lunsa's injuries. He was relieved to find that they were just scratches and not serious.

Under his gaze, Renza recalled the scene of the adults standing in front of her and rushing towards Carlos.

The girl's face flushed slightly, and she habitually straightened her soft chest.

Seeing this scene, Rhodes couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his image in the eyes of his subordinates.

Shaking his head and looking away, Rhodes looked at the villagers.

"I am the Lord of the Mountain, Rod Rossdale."

Rhodes said calmly, his voice clearly echoing in the cave.

Under the cold gaze of the crows, the originally noisy swarm of bees on the rock wall stopped moving.

In the dead silent cave, all the villagers looked up at him.

Under the villagers' panicked eyes, Rhodes continued:
"As you can see, Carlos foolishly chose to challenge my dignity, so he died, and his blood queen died under my sword."

"But I have no hatred towards the Aipat people. You can continue to stay in the snowy mountains, or follow me down the mountain and become my subjects. I will provide you with a safe environment, a warm place to live, and delicious food. This is my promise as a lord."

After finishing speaking, Rhodes waited for their reaction.

The Apat people have good beekeeping skills. It would be best if you are willing to become his subject so that you can provide him with a stable supply of honey.

It didn't matter if they didn't want to, and Rhode wouldn't force them.

Using the Ice Vein Fruit, he can breed normally evolved Ice Wing Bees.

The evolved queen bee has a certain intelligence, enough to control the hive on her own under his contract.

Hearing his words, the villagers looked at each other, and many of them had conflicted thoughts in their eyes.

Although life in the snowy mountains is hard, they have long been accustomed to it and don't care.

But Carlos' previous cruel rule made them afraid.

The astonishing strength displayed by Rhode made them terrified at the strength of the nobles down the mountain, causing them to misjudge.

The snow-capped mountains can no longer protect them. What should they do if the next noble who goes up the mountain turns out to be cruel?
After much discussion, everyone finally made a decision under the leadership of tribal chief Sandy.

More than a hundred villagers knelt down in front of Rhodes.

Choose to kneel down and bow to him to show your willingness to accept his rule.

Rhodes nodded with satisfaction.

Very good, there are more than a hundred professional beekeepers in my territory.

There will be a new stable high-priced commodity on Hekou Town’s business list.

After dealing with the swarm of bees in the cave and Carlos' other men, Rhodes arranged the process of going down the mountain.

These Aipat people need to pack their bags and take with them their beehives, which are their most important assets.

Rhodes was not stingy with his subjects.

During this process, he took out the blood-replenishing potion and snow mountain cordyceps from the medical kit.

Stew a large pot of medicinal soup and distribute it to the villagers to help them recover their vitality after their blood was sucked away.

The original plan was to return within one day, but because he needed to bring more than a hundred people with him, Rhodes had to stay on the snow mountain for two more days.

The villagers had a lot of luggage to move, not to mention the beehive throne and a bunch of corpses of specialized soldier bees.

It is a problem to transport it all the way from the snowy mountains to the territory.

Rhodes sent out a raven to report the situation here to Hepingshan.

At that time, Noah will bring more than one hundred cavalrymen and a herd of yaks from the Royal Guard Battalion to meet them halfway to ensure a smooth journey back.
