Chapter 38: Golden Bees
He could clearly see that his size had increased by more than ten times through his horn’s perception. He was about the size of a soybean, so the nest naturally appeared much smaller.
Number: k2648263
Name: Wang Shuo
Race: Sharp-horned Beetle
Evolution Number: 1
Evolution Points: 0.1%
Strength: 0.0212; Agility: 0.0023; Physique: 0.0024
Talents: Devour Evolution, Intermediate Strength, Elementary Agility
Skills: Strengthened Horn Thrust, Bite, Hard Shell
Attributes: None
Devouring Evolution: …
Intermediate Strength: Strength x3.8
Elementary Agility: Agility x1.9
Strengthened Horn Thrust: The horned beetle’s strongest attack method.
Wang Shuo looked at his new attributes and started calculating silently.
The remaining evolution points from the previous level had shrunk by ten times. And in terms of attributes, it had increased by four times without the enhancement of the talents.
However, the effects of his talents weakened by 1/20.
“Is it because I’ve grown bigger?”
According to physics, most insects had abilities that exceeded the specifications of their bodies. It was not because their body structure was magical but because they were too small.
For example, ants.
Compared to humans, the mass of ants was minimal, but the gravity they experienced was much weaker.
An ant seemed to be able to drag objects 40 times its weight. But if it was enlarged to the size of a human, gravity alone could crush it to the ground.
The same went for fleas.
Wang Shuo guessed that his two Strength and Agility talents might completely lose their effect if his body evolved further in the future.
But these two talents were exceptionally valuable for the early stages.
His Agility attribute was originally the lowest. Now, with the Elementary Agility talent, it was basically the same as his Physique.
At this moment, he felt a strong sense of hunger.
“Has it been a long time?”
Holding back his hunger, Wang Shuo squeezed his way out of the cave entrance.

The sky outside was no longer as bright.
Without the shackles of the nest, Wang Shuo immediately felt his body become much lighter.
He tried jumping, and he actually jumped over the grass. He overlooked his surroundings from at least an altitude of half a meter. Additionally, his speed was astonishing.
“Hey, cricket!”
Wang Shuo saw a small cricket on a blade of grass. Although it was several times bigger than him, he was full of confidence.
He adjusted his strength and effortlessly glided to the blade of grass beside the cricket.
Perhaps due to its size advantage, the cricket didn’t care about Wang Shuo’s arrival and didn’t even look at him.
“Then don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Wang Shuo adjusted his position and instantly shot forward with all his might.
The single sharp horn on his head pierced the cricket’s soft abdomen like an arrow.
Wang Shuo didn’t push on after his successful strike and immediately leaped backward far away.
This cricket was also very fierce. Even though there was a hole in its abdomen, it didn’t show any weakness. On the contrary, it turned around and pounced over.
Its speed was not slow, but in Wang Shuo’s eyes, its movements had too many flaws.
He was not in a hurry. He used his small and nimble movement technique to dodge around and easily poke holes in his opponent’s body from its blind spots.
After numerous strikes, the cricket finally collapsed. But Wang Shuo didn’t let his guard down and stabbed it a few more times. Only when only the cricket’s six legs were twitching instinctively did he begin to enjoy his spoils.
A few minutes later, a familiar notification sounded.
[You devoured a cricket. Evolution Points +6.0%.]
[Talent Elementary Agility]: Agility x2
[Skill: Bite]: A cricket’s primary attack technique.
[Strength +0.00005]
[Agility +0.00005]
[Physique +0.00005]

…
“The evolution points and attribute points have decreased?”
He had challenged someone of a higher level, yet he had only gained 6% evolution points.
Ordinary players wouldn’t obtain Elementary Strength and Elementary Agility in the first stage unless they were exceedingly lucky. And it was basically impossible for them to get Intermediate Strength during the first evolution.
Even if they completed their evolution, they could only rely on human techniques to dominate the insects of the same size and strength level. If they wanted to challenge prey several times their size, there was basically no chance of success.
Furthermore, this was only the second evolution, so the third evolution would definitely be horrific.
“Fortunately, I have my cheat and can maximize my gains every time I hunt. I can probably increase my strength to the extreme in the least amount of hunts, so my difficulty is much lower than others’.”
After putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Wang Shuo chose the Bite skill.
The talent could not be stacked, so it was pointless. But skills could continue to be strengthened.
As the burning sensation faded, Wang Shuo felt as if his mouth had become more potent.
“I wonder how powerful it is. Let’s try it next time.”
…
Whoosh!
A grey light flashed, and a green bug eating grass found a beetle on its back!
Like a pair of pliers, the beetle’s mouth directly bit off half of the green bug’s head.
“Finally 90%!”
Wang Shuo laid on the grass to recover his energy.
Almost a day had passed since yesterday afternoon.
He had hunted for prey everywhere and encountered several life and death crises.
After hunting more than 30 prey, he finally raised his evolution points to 90%.
In addition, during the more than thirty hunts, Wang Shuo had obtained the Elementary Physique talent from a small earthworm.
Now, his attributes had reached Strength 0.04, Agility 0.006, and Physique 0.0058.
On the other hand, he didn’t put too much effort into his skills.
Before his body size increased, his current skill damage was enough.
Suddenly, a strange fragrance poured into his body through his shell.
Then Wang Shuo felt his body instantly recover to its peak.
“What was that!”
Wang Shuo immediately leaped to his feet and crawled forward to trace the source of the fragrance.
His current speed was not slow, and he could jump one meter in two seconds. In a few seconds, he found the source of the fragrance.
It was a purple plant that was half the height of a human and as bare as a bamboo pole. Three purple leaves were growing on the top, and a small blooming purple flower was in the center.
At this moment, the stamen was slowly blooming at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Instantly, Wang Shuo confirmed that this was definitely not an ordinary plant.
Just as this thought appeared in his mind, a golden light suddenly flashed above the stamen and revealed its appearance. It was actually a walnut-sized golden bee.
“So fast!”
While Wang Shuo was surprised, another golden light appeared. It was another golden bee that looked similar.
The two bees hovered in the air and buzzed as if they were communicating.
Then the first bee suddenly raised its tail and shot a golden needle at the other golden bee.
Not to be outdone, the other bee also shot out a golden needle. It collided with the first needle, emitting specks of light.
Then the two of them flashed away at the same time. Just as Wang Shuo thought they would stop fighting, a buzzing sound several times louder than before came.
The next moment, he saw the two golden bees flying toward each other, each with dozens of golden bees several times smaller.
