261: It's time to take action against the mother nest.

Xiaohu's answer was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing Huang Chen's excitement.

Before Huang Chen could speak, Xiaohu continued, "Like other bee creatures, the bee eggs I lay can actually all become Bee Kings."

"Those that grow up eating soul honey become worker bees, and those that grow up eating bee king soul slurry become Bee Kings."

"Each worker bee can only produce a tiny amount of bee king soul slurry each day, not even enough for my own growth, let alone supplying another Bee King."

"Moreover, ever since I signed the master-servant contract with my master, my descendants have lost the qualification to become Bee Kings."

Listening to Xiaohu, Huang Chen could only shake his head helplessly. He had thought too much.

If the cultivation of the Soul-Devouring Bee King could be simply copied and pasted, then the person who captured the Soul Devouring Bees back then would have long been invincible.

Zi Han saw Huang Chen's dejected look and finally couldn't help but retort, "You're really stupid to the core..."

"I've never seen anyone as stupid as you!"

"What?" A hint of joy flashed across Huang Chen's face.

If she really had a way, then he wouldn't mind being scolded to pieces.

He... was simply too eager to improve!

"What a pig brain!" Zi Han continued to retort, "Xiaohu's bee soul slurry isn't enough, but his mother's definitely is!"

"Xiaohu's descendants can't become Bee Kings, why don't you go to his mother's place and snatch some?"

Zi Han's words were like a clap of thunder, instantly dispelling the gloom in Huang Chen's heart.

"That's right! Xiaohu's mother has a huge Bee Swarm! The amount of bee king soul slurry produced every day must be astonishing. And, the bee eggs there are all ready-made!"

Huang Chen's eyes lit up astonishingly. His previous dejection was swept away, replaced by an eager excitement.

He suddenly sat upright from the lounge chair, his lazy aura instantly replaced by sharpness.

"Husband?" Xie Chunyan looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong with you? You're always so jumpy."

"Nothing!" Huang Chen was in a great mood. He pulled Xie Chunyan into a long, wet kiss.

"Found a way to conquer the Mirror Shadow Tower?" Tie Shengnan keenly caught the change in his eyes.

She had been with Huang Chen a lot recently and knew that the only thing that could trouble him at the moment was conquering the Mirror Shadow Tower.

"Mm!" Huang Chen nodded, then looked at the women in the room and said, "Later, I'll get each of you a Soul-Devouring Bee King as a battle pet."

"You want to get the Soul Devouring Bee Mother Nest?" Hearing Huang Chen's words, Xie Chunyan was the first to react.

Huang Chen looked at Xie Chunyan in surprise and asked, "How did you know?"

Xie Chunyan chuckled, "Actually, it's not hard to guess. If you just put the pieces together, you can figure it out."

"If Xiaohu could supply Bee Kings, you would have already created ten or eight. So, besides Xiaohu, where else could you get Bee Kings?"

Huang Chen embraced Xie Chunyan and gave her a deep, wet kiss as a reward.

Then, he paused and said, "The key to conquering the Mirror Shadow Tower lies in the scale of the Soul Devouring Bees. Xiaohu's production capacity is limited, so we need to get more Bee Kings. Once the Bee Swarm is large enough, we can go and conquer the Mirror Shadow Tower."

"Then what do we need to do?" Tie Shengnan asked.

After a brief thought, Huang Chen said, "Call everyone."

This time, they were going to 'borrow' slurry and descendants from the old Bee King. Attacking the beehive would inevitably cause the Bee King to possibly migrate directly because of this.

In fact, this action might directly destroy the Bee Swarm, so they must use this opportunity to maximize the strength of the Harem.

After all, Huang Chen's power mainly came from the potential feedback these people gave him.

And only when more people become stronger can they better cope with the huge dangers that are foreseeable in the future.

After a pause, Huang Chen added, "Don't pass the Soul Forging Treasure Codex to Feng Wu and Consort Shu, these four outsiders, for now. Also, the confidentiality level of this matter is highest; they must be kept tight-lipped."

Leaving aside whether Feng Wu and the others, whose bone structure was basically set, could study the Soul Forging Treasure Codex, the mere fact that they were 'outsiders' made Huang Chen have to be cautious.

Although Feng Wu and the others currently had intimacy levels above 90, they were, after all, sent by their native universe's clans to compete for destiny.

To put it bluntly, they were there to enhance their clan's destiny bloodline and maintain the native universe's dominant position within their clan.

In front of some people, the importance of national righteousness far outweighed personal feelings, so Huang Chen had to keep a hand hidden.

Xie Chunyan, Tie Shengnan, and the others nodded with solemn expressions upon hearing this.

They were also clear about the stakes; if this news were to leak, it could really plunge the entire Huaxia Clan into eternal damnation.

Soon, all of Huang Chen's Harem members had arrived.

After Huang Chen briefly explained some precautions, he waved his hand, and dozens of people instantly vanished from their spot... to the Soul Devouring Bee Mother Nest.

As dozens of figures landed, they immediately let out bloodcurdling screams.

All dozens of Harem members, except Tie Shengnan and Chen Yichun, wailed and rolled on the ground.

The pain of having one's soul torn and stung was not something everyone could endure.

Even Tie Shengnan, whose will was as firm as a rock, screamed repeatedly the first time she was stung, let alone delicate girls like He Qingwan.

"Eat soul honey... Forge Soul!"

The moment they landed, Huang Chen shouted loudly, and then Old Six appeared, creating numerous Thunder Domains that enveloped everyone.

The words "Forge Soul" meant two entirely different concepts in the ears of Feng Wu and Tie Shengnan.

Feng Wu and the others thought it was simply training Soul Power through the Soul Devouring Bees and didn't think too much about it. She endured the pain and quickly summoned Karma Fire.

As the Harem Legion gained a foothold, their formation slowly spread out, and the efficiency of killing monsters soared.

However, Huang Chen soon discovered a problem: the Harem members who had learned the Soul Forging Treasure Codex absorbed soul honey extremely quickly, and there wasn't enough soul honey to go around.

Wails began to reappear. Without timely replenishment of the soul honey that was being stung away, that extreme pain returned.

At this moment, any soul honey that appeared on the ground would be immediately swept away.

At the same time, Huang Chen also underwent a change. He found that after consuming soul honey, the conversion efficiency of the Soul Forging Treasure Codex had become extremely poor.

"Has it reached its limit again?" Huang Chen murmured.

"Hmph!" Zi Han, in the pet space, sneered upon hearing Huang Chen's words, "Your Soul Power hasn't even entered the threshold yet; you're still more than a hundred thousand miles away from the limit."

"Then I..." Huang Chen asked, puzzled.

"As the soul grows, the quality requirements for external Soul Power will become higher and higher. The grade of soul honey's Soul Power is too low; it's no longer enough to bring you improvement," Zi Han said indifferently.

"Is that so?" Huang Chen rubbed the tip of his nose, temporarily stopped absorbing soul honey, and said helplessly, "There are so few things that enhance the soul. If I can't find them, how can I continue to practice Soul Forging... This thing you gave me sounds very impressive, but it's actually just a chicken rib!"

"Chicken rib?" Zi Han snorted, "Who told you that the Soul Forging Treasure Codex relies on external objects for cultivation? This cultivation method originally requires one to cultivate step by step through arduous effort. You got lucky to have soul honey in the early stages to cultivate so quickly. From now on, you'll have to slowly grind it out!"

"Oh!" Hearing Zi Han's words, Huang Chen showed no disappointment; instead, a look of joy appeared on his face.

As long as he could cultivate, that was good. Otherwise, where would he find all those soul-enhancing items?

He then paused his absorption of soul honey and continued to fight monsters while operating Soul Forging.

It must be said that without the blessing of soul honey, the cultivation of the Soul Forging Treasure Codex was indeed atrociously slow.

And as he paused Soul Forging, the supply and demand of soul honey on the entire battlefield finally reached a state of balance.

After all, his Soul Power was too vast; his consumption alone accounted for 80% of the entire Harem Legion's consumption.

Soon, Tie Shengnan, Chen Yichun, Feng Wu, and the others also reached their current peak of absorption.

After Huang Chen sent them back to Jinling City, he returned to the beehive to act as a protector...
