Chapter 47
After consuming the honey, the Golden Marrow Bees gradually regained their vitality.
As for the First-Generation High-Speed Cutter Bees, since they hadn’t suffered any depletion of their Beast Heart energy—only enduring prolonged combat, which drained their stamina—they recovered quickly after a short rest.
This secretly relieved Qi Ping.
Currently, fewer than two hundred Golden Marrow Bees remained at full strength, drastically reducing the hive’s overall combat power. However, as long as the First-Generation High-Speed Cutter Bee was still around, Qi Ping had at least one small trump card up his sleeve.
The First-Generation High-Speed Cutter Bee’s recent performance was more than enough to prove its formidable strength.
With only one day left, Qi Ping spent it with extreme caution, repeatedly instructing the Golden Marrow Bees and Black Dwarf Bees to monitor every inch of the mountain, leaving no corner unchecked.
The final day passed in a state of restless anxiety for Qi Ping.
To ease his worry and tension, he could only bury himself in work, immersing his thoughts in comprehending the Plant Growth skill. Although Plant Growth was technically a skill, the underlying principle of accelerating plant growth was a real phenomenon in the cultivation world. Improving this skill required Qi Ping to genuinely grasp the laws governing it, and this meditative state of understanding the rules helped soothe his nerves.
The closer one gets to success, the more terrifying the thought of failure becomes.
