After defeating the Horned Beetles and Horned Bees in front of them, the remaining Horned Bees in the hive seemed to have lost their will to fight. The repeated failures had made them realize that Kaede Sato was an enemy they could not defeat. In order to not be wiped out, they had no choice but to abandon their hive and escape.
"What's going on? They actually ran away? That's good. This way, I won't be hindered anymore." Kaede Sato thought with a strange expression as he watched the healthy Horned Bees being released from the hive and escaping in all directions.
Kaede Sato originally thought that these ferocious Horned Bees would choose to fight desperately in order to protect the hive, but he never expected that the final battle he envisioned would not happen. Instead, they chose to abandon their hive and escape. This really surprised him.
In fact, the reason why the Horned Bees chose to abandon their hive and escape was not only because they were afraid of Kaede Sato, but more importantly, they were now in a life and death situation. If the remaining Horned Bees were defeated by Kaede Sato, the entire Horned Bee Colony would lose all hope.
In fact, Kaede Sato's action of not killing the Horned Bees and sparing their lives was an important reason why the entire Horned Bee Colony was in such a huge crisis. A large number of injured Horned Bees appeared, causing the burden on the Horned Bee Colony to become extremely heavy.
For these injured Horned Bees, the Horned Bee Colony naturally could not leave them in the lurch. Usually, they would feed them with the best honey, hoping that they would recover soon and continue to contribute to the colony.
However, as the number of injured Bumblebee soldiers increased, the labor force that could collect honey naturally decreased. In order to feed these injured Bumblebee soldiers who couldn't work, the honey accumulated by the entire Bumblebee colony was quickly consumed.
Now, the number of injured Horned Bees had exceeded the number of Horned Bees who could still harvest honey. The consumption of honey had exceeded the production. In addition, four days ago, the Circling Bears took more than half of the honey. Now, the honey reserves in the hive were almost empty.
If the remaining Horned Bees who could still harvest honey were all killed by Kaede Sato, even if Kaede Sato chose not to kill these defenseless Horned Bees, they would soon starve to death.
Of course, those Horned Bees who could still fight had escaped from the hive, but there were still a large number of injured Horned Bees and Horned Beetle larvae in the hive. If they rushed in recklessly, they might lose their lives.
Therefore, for safety reasons, Kaede Sato, ordered the Ultrasonic Bat to blow a strong gust of wind at the huge hive in front of them, and then cooperate with the hypnotic powder emitted by the Stinky flower to make the creatures in the hive have a good sleep.
After ten minutes, Kaede Sato let the Ultrasonic Bat and the Stinky Flower blow a strong gust of wind at the hive. After that, he let the Ultrasonic Bat confirm that most of the Horned Bees and Horned Beetles had been forced to sleep. He then led the two Elfins into the hive.
The "R" mark on the top of the hive was obviously not groundless. If Kaede Sato's guess was correct, the Rocket mission item he was looking for in the nearby forest was in this hive.
The hill-like hive was built by the Horned Bees to be very stable and layered. In order to make it convenient for the Horned Bees to move around in the hive, the entire hive was very spacious, enough for Kaede Sato to walk in.
Walking in the beehive built by the Bumblebee, Kaede Sato could see a miniature space after a few steps. That was where the Bumblebee lived. Now, in these miniature spaces, there was a wounded soldier of the Bumblebee lying on the ground, snoring loudly.
Kaede Sato was not interested in the wounded soldiers of the Bumblebee Hornets at all. Under the guidance of the Supersonic Bat, he soon found the correct passage leading to the top of the beehive.
The area at the top of the hive was a nursery. There were many Horned Beetle eggs placed here. Some of the hatched Horned Beetles were also sleeping soundly. They did not notice the arrival of Kaede Sato at all.
In the end, with the help of the Ultrasonic Bat, Kaede Sato finally found his target in the nursery at the top of the hive. A black backpack with an "R" letter on it was quietly embedded in the wall of the hive.
Because the black backpack emitted a smell that the Horned Bees hated (insect repellent), it was not damaged by the Horned Bees and was still intact in the wall of the hive.
"This should be the mission item. It's really hidden deep. This hive is so big. Without the help of the Ultrasonic Bat, I wouldn't be able to find it even if I searched for a whole day," Kaede Sato thought to himself when he saw the "R" letter on the black backpack.
Then, Kaede Sato took the black backpack out of the wall of the hive. He did not check what was inside and immediately put it into the storage space of the Rocket watch. Then, he took the Ultrasonic Bat and the Stinky Flower back to the lower half of the hive.
The Stinky Flower's hypnotic powder could only force creatures to sleep for about half an hour. They had to hurry up and do other things. Now that Kaede Sato had arrived at the Horned Bee's hive, he would be letting himself down if he did not get some spoils of war.
As for the spoils of war in the hive, it was naturally the high-quality honey brewed by the Horned Bees. Although Kaede Sato had not tasted the honey made by the Horned Bees, he had seen the introduction of this food from the Rocket's internal points exchange system, so he was very clear about the value of this food.
Compared to the honey made by ordinary bees, the Horned Bee's honey was not only more nutritious, but it was also a very high-quality food for the Horned Bees. It also had the effect of quickly recovering stamina and healing injuries to a certain extent. It could be regarded as a purely natural tonic and healing product, especially the wild Horned Bee's honey. The effect would be even better. (Don't scold me.)
Therefore, the value of wild Horned Bee's honey was very high. 1 liter of wild Horned Bee's honey in the Rocket's internal points exchange system was 500 points, and there were often situations where there was a shortage.
The Horned Bee's hive's honey brewing room was built at the bottom of the hive. With the Ultrasonic Bat leading the way, Kaede Sato arrived at the honey brewing room of the hive. Pieces of honey that seemed to be wrapped in a layer of wax-like substance were quietly stored in the same hexagonal hive.
But at this time, there were at least hundreds of hives in the honey brewing room, and there were only 21 hives left with honey. The amount of honey stored was really a little low.
"Why is there so little left? It seems like these guys didn't forget to take the wealth with them before they left. Forget it, the honey left behind is enough for me to use for a long time." Looking at the almost empty honey brewing room in front of him, Kaede Sato's face showed a little disappointment. Then he quickly took the 21 pieces of honey that were sealed with beeswax from the 21 hives and put them all into the storage space of the Rocket watch.
(Note: A piece of honey sealed with beeswax contains about 3 liters of honey. Now Kaede Sato took 63 liters of honey with him.)
After confirming that there was no more honey in the honey brewing room, Kaede Sato quickly left the hive with the two Elves and quickly walked in the direction of his current residence.
