Su Jing believed that if Shi Qing and the others brought a group of these Honeybees with them, it would be more than enough to handle ordinary gangsters.
But there is a problem. While the Honeybees from the Desolate Era Universe seemed like a promising solution at first, Su Jing realized that there was a problem with their low intelligence.
These bees were only able to carry out simple tasks such as collecting honey and would not be able to protect Shi Qing and others effectively in complex situations.
Su Jing had also collected other dangerous animals, such as bullet ants and poisonous scorpions, in the past, but they all suffered from the same issue of low intelligence.
While Su Jing himself might be able to control these animals and use them for protection, leaving them in the care of Shi Qing and the others could potentially put them in danger rather than protecting them.
This left Su Jing with the challenge of finding a way to provide protection for his loved ones without relying on low-intelligence animals.
Su Jing had a new idea. “The Buddhist Relic has the ability to transform people and animals, calming them down and improving their state of mind. If I use these relics on the Honeybees and combine them with Crystal Contemplation, it might be possible to make them enlightened.” Su Jing was excited by this possibility.
He had previously tried this method on pets such as the Battle Wolf, the Golden Eagle, cats, and dogs and had seen positive results.
He believed that with the help of Buddhist relics and Crystal Contemplation, the intelligence of these Honeybees could be greatly improved.
However, Su Jing had to consider the fact that while the animals he had previously used this method on, such as the Battle Wolf, Golden Eagle, cats, and dogs, already had a certain level of intelligence, Honeybees were a different matter.
Their personality and intelligence were much more limited than those of other animals, and it was unclear whether Buddhist relics would be effective in improving their intelligence.
It was possible that the Honeybees would not be able to understand or follow complex instructions, even with the help of Buddhist relics and Crystal Contemplation.
“Let’s try it.” Su Jing entered the ecology space, sat down under the Honeybee nest, took out the Azure Relic, and began to chant.
After a while, the Honeybees were really affected and they no longer flew around, but all quieted down and listened quietly. What Su Jing didn’t notice was that one eye suddenly opened and then closed again on that huge flower.
After a prolonged period of time, Su Jing stopped chanting and released his spiritual force in an attempt to invade the honeybees’ brains and establish a spiritual resonance with them through Crystal Contemplation, similar to the bond that exists between him and the cats and dogs.
However, despite his efforts, Su Jing was unable to achieve this connection even after trying for a long time.
“It seems that the Buddhist Relic, while effective, has its limitations. It’s possible that it may help these honeybees attain enlightenment in the future, but it’s unlikely to happen in the short term,” Su Jing thought to himself with a sigh.
He decided to continue cultivating the Relic in the hopes that it might eventually have a more significant effect on the honeybees, but he didn’t know how long it would take and didn’t want to rely solely on it.
“I hope these insects will prove to be useful,” Su Jing thought to himself as he turned his attention to the insects from the Immortal Gourd Universe.
He had been keeping a close eye on these bugs ever since a mouse ate a snake-shaped insect and transformed into a snake after shedding its skin.
Su Jing knew that among these insects, there might be other Gu insects mixed in, which were even more dangerous than honeybees.
He knew that he had to be careful and only hand them over to Shi Qing if he was completely sure, as there was a risk of misleading both himself and others if he wasn’t careful.
After discovering the transformative properties of the snake-shaped worms, Su Jing asked Little Li and A’Li to catch more mice and feed them the live worms in order to observe any changes. However, no abnormalities were detected for the time being.
“Squeak-squeak-squeak.” A mouse called out, and with the help of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tablet, it was clear that the mouse was saying “very hungry, very hungry.”
As these mice were being used for experimentation, it was important for them to be in good physical condition. Therefore, Su Jing brought some corn and rice to feed them so that they wouldn’t go hungry. House mice have a hearty appetite and are able to eat a wide variety of food, making them relatively easy to care for.
Sure enough, the mice had a huge appetite and after a short while, they had eaten all of the corn and rice. Just as Su Jing was about to leave the ecological space, he heard one of the mice calling out again: “Very hungry, very hungry.”

Su Jing was surprised to see that it was the same mouse that had called out before, and couldn’t help but think to himself, “Well, this mouse seems to eat the fastest and the most. How come it’s still not full?”
Su Jing looked closely at the mouse’s belly and noticed that it was not as swollen as the other mice’s bellies. He also noticed that the mouse seemed to defecate frequently as it walked, which seemed unusual.
“What’s going on?”
Su Jing was intrigued and brought a jin of ordinary rice down to the ground to see what would happen.
The mice rushed forward and began to eat the rice, but the other mice soon became full and stopped eating. Only the mouse that had been calling out “very hungry” continued to eat frantically without stopping.
To Su Jing’s amazement, it managed to eat an entire handful of rice. There was a large circle of feces around the pile of rice, which the mouse had dragged along with it while eating.
“Very hungry,” The mouse continued to call out, squeaking loudly.
Su Jing tried to take some rice, saying “I’ll go, this is too much food.” However, the mouse continued to eat and pull at the rice, never stopping for a moment. It ate all five jin of rice that Su Jing had taken out and then cried out “very hungry” again.
It is unusual for a mouse to have such a large appetite, even one that can eat a jin of rice might be considered to have a big appetite. But for a mouse to eat five jin of rice is definitely abnormal.
Su Jing was puzzled by the mouse’s abnormal behavior. “Could it be because of the bug it ate that caused this change?” He thought to himself and decided to use his spiritual force to investigate the mouse.
Every mouse has a mark on its body that corresponds to the bug it has eaten. When Su Jing examined this mouse, he found that it had eaten a slender, white, and tender worm with hairs that were as thin as four or five centimeters. The worm appeared harmless to both humans and animals.
