Wizarding World Beekeeper

Chapter 12 Black Forest Adventure Guide

After careful investigation, I found that this mutant individual is quite interesting.

If we had to talk about changes in its appearance, it would be that the chelating needles had become longer and thicker, like needles made of black gold, with barbs all over them, sharp yet delicate.

Ordinary people may not be able to see its inner changes, but Hua Mi can see it once he explores it.

The poison glands are much stronger, the ability to produce poisons is enhanced, and the amount of toxins stored is increased.

But what's more embarrassing is that he doesn't know what the effect will be.

You can never experiment on yourself.

Not to mention that a person can sting a bee himself, but if the toxin is fatal, wouldn't he have to follow him?

"The tentative name is X Venomous Bee. We will expand these two new bee species into bee colonies first."

If all goes well, he will have three mutant bee species.

At that time, you can try hybridization experiments.

Each of the three bee species has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the purpose of hybridization is to produce a collection of beneficial traits.

Hua Mi summoned the phantom of the Blue Bee and established contact with the X-Venom Bee.

Soon, the template was copied, and the pattern of the X-venomous bee appeared below the shadow.

"Uh, no, I'm too tired today and I don't have enough energy. I'll transform it tomorrow."

When placing the X-venomous bees, Hua Mi had a sudden idea.

If you want to know the venom effect of X-venomous wasps, you don’t have to do in vivo experiments.

Instruments can be used to analyze the venom components.

There are ready-made analytical instruments in their town.

After all, Huayu Town is a long-established bee producing area. Although it is now in decline, the related supporting facilities are still complete, and there is even a dedicated plant hospital.

Hua Mi found a small reagent bottle, washed it and dried it, then controlled the X-Venom Bee to release all the venom stored in its body into the reagent bottle.

"By the way, you can also check the material of those gold coins... Thanks to the advancement of technology."

……

After everything was settled here, Hua Mi returned to his ancestral home with the equipment.

It was already midnight on earth. After eating something for dinner, I took out the "Black Forest Adventure Guide" and started reading it under the desk lamp.

The opening chapter talks about the origin of the name Maleficent's Forest.

Due to the long history, many things can no longer be studied, so the author only heard about it and adopted two popular sayings.

One theory is that a long time ago this was a desolate Gobi Desert, and only tenacious creatures such as sandworms, impalers and earth monsters could survive in this harsh environment.

One day, a notorious black witch passed by here. Her research in magic had reached its peak. She felt deeply that the world was lifeless, so she chose to get rid of the shackles of the body here, and her soul rose to a higher plane.

The magic power contained in the Black Witch's body spread, spread into the air, and penetrated into the soil, deeply affecting the environment here, and eventually gave birth to a huge forest.

The second theory is relatively simple. It tells that in ancient times, a female mage who was proficient in black magic was tired of the fighting in the world, so she came to live in seclusion in this forest and disappeared.

The first statement is more legendary and seems to be more in line with the style of the magical world.

But if Hua Mi had to choose one of these two statements, he would rather believe the second one. The simple one is the best.

This paragraph is just an introduction, and Hua Mi’s focus is not here.

He looked at the introduction below.This booklet lists some monsters in the black forest, including many intelligent species, such as——

【Beastman】

Have you ever had the experience of feeling like someone looks like a certain animal?Don't doubt your own eyes, he/she is probably a person with lycanthropy.Remember, don’t have deep emotional exchanges with lycanthropes on a full moon night!
—A certain unnamed bard, Lawrence Balkhoz.

Lycanthropy is an ancient curse that only affects humans.

Some scholars have suggested that this curse may be related to an ancient war. Although there is no direct evidence, it has been widely recognized by the academic community.

There are rumors among the people that lycanthropes were corrupted creations transformed by a certain abyss lord using humans as a template during the second abyss invasion. They were left behind in the world after the invasion failed.Comparing lycanthropes with evil beings such as demons and banshees is sheer nonsense and a stigma against lycanthropes.

There is evidence that lycanthropy existed long before the First Abyssal Invasion.

Unlike ghosts and banshees, which are purely evil creatures of the abyss, lycanthropes are not necessarily evil in nature. Although they may be more or less affected by curses, resulting in perverse and unsociable temperaments, their part as humans cannot be denied.

[Transformation] The lycanthrope can transform into the corresponding beast without preparing any casting materials, rituals or potions. In the half-orc or fully lycanthropic state, the strength is greatly increased, but the sanity will be weakened accordingly.Therefore, you should pay attention when you are with lycanthropes. It is best to stay away from them in the lycanthropic state, because at this time, the attacks of lycanthropes may not distinguish between friend and foe!

[Full Moon Night] The night of the full moon is the strongest moment of the beastly curse. The violent force in the body is difficult to suppress. The lycanthrope will uncontrollably transform into a complete beastly form. At this time, they will completely lose their mind and completely transform into a beast. A furious beast, wreaking havoc and killing.If you want to explore the Black Forest, it is highly recommended to avoid full moon nights.

[Suppression Potion] Taking some potions in advance may make it easier for the lycanthrope to survive the full moon night, but it will not have much effect.There is currently no magic potion that can curb this ancient curse. For some reason, alchemists seem to be uninterested in this field.

[Dispel] The advanced dispersion technique can dispel the lycanthropic state of a lycanthrope under normal circumstances, but it has no effect on the complete lycanthropy on a full moon night.Arranging a magic-forbidden area can also invalidate the beastly state, but for the same reason, it is not effective against the full moon beastly form.

[Appearance in human form] Affected by the curse, lycanthropes will show some lycanthropic characteristics even in human form. For example, bear morphs are usually big, muscular men with thick hair on their bodies, and they will not be around anyone. I want to compete with them.Rat-turned-people usually have lean bodies, thin hair, and evasive eyes. They are naturally better at sneaking and running than fighting, and have superb stealing techniques.

[Curse Transmission] If a human being attacked by a lycanthrope in a beastly state is injured but lucky enough not to die, there will be a certain probability of being infected with this curse.

……

Unconsciously.

"Abyss invasion, abyss lord, curse... It seems that the different world I am exposed to now is not even the tip of the iceberg."

Judging from the text, when the Abyss invaded, the lords made some Abyss creations for war, of which evil spirits and banshees were typical examples.

After the invasion, the major lords and followers were forced to retreat to the abyss, but some abyssal creations were left behind in the world, causing trouble.

However, the author specifically mentioned that lycanthropes were not among them, and his words seemed to express dissatisfaction for lycanthropes.

There were lycanthropes in the dark forest, so Hua Mi wasn't too worried.

On the one hand, the manual says that lycanthropes are not necessarily evil.

On the other hand, as long as he is within the confines of the cabin, he can open a wormhole and slip back to the earth at any time.Anyway, when you are in doubt, just grab the bucket and run away. If you have the guts, you can chase me.

"Speaking of which, the first time I traveled to a different world, the moon was big and round that night, and nothing happened."

After flipping through a few more pages, a monster appeared in the manual that interested him.

The illustrations next to the text are obviously the "Pixies" he encountered.

But their name is not Pixie, but "Fake Flower Essence".

"Why add the word 'pseudo'?"

Hua Mi thought for a moment and continued to look down.

【Fake Flower Essence】

As we all know, some rare flowers have a certain probability of producing flower essences.In order to distinguish them from flower essences, these little guys who look like flower essences are called "pseudo flower essences".
