Before the sky turned completely dark, the army returned to the territory.

Bain, who had been waiting early on, immediately approached, accompanied by the young Alchemist, Donia.

"Good evening, my lord... :

"Is that the Mosquito Queen?"

Within the giant bubble, the Mosquito Queen with a wingspan of two meters had her wings and legs snapped off at the base, leaving only her body, covered in black and white spots, like a fleshy worm.

The ferocious mouthparts, however, spoke of this creature's ferocity.

Lear nodded.

"Yes, the Mosquito Queen is Level 13, extremely fierce."

"Fortunately, this time we had Donia's Alchemy Potion, which helped us a lot, otherwise the losses would have been more severe."

The praised little girl immediately blushed, feeling a bit proud yet shy.

"Lord, this is what I should do~"

Lear chuckled.

"Once the City Hall is completed, I will construct a dedicated alchemy research lab for you, so you can research freely and boldly in the future."

The little girl instantly beamed with joy, her happiness evident.

After praising her, Lear took out a mutated Venus Flytrap seedling.

"This is a mutated Venus Flytrap, they require a large amount of water to grow."

"Once mature, they can reach nearly four meters in height and produce very delicious nectar."

"Have someone plant them and give it a try."

Bain looked at the palm-sized Venus Flytrap seedling with some surprise.

This thing, growing up to 4 meters tall and producing nectar?

After Lear finished speaking, the Two-headed Giant Chief behind him took out some freshly collected nectar.

He handed it to Bain.

After Bain took a sip, his eyes lit up instantly.

"My lord, this nectar is truly a delicacy!!"

They usually had to search for hives just to get a taste of sweetness, but hives were not that abundant.

Having it once every two or three years was considered good.

If they could really cultivate these, wouldn't they get to enjoy it more often?

Without hesitation, he took all the seedlings, holding them like cherished treasures, afraid of damaging them.

Lear couldn't help but smile.

He also had the Two-headed Giant Chief take some and give them to Donia, who was watching eagerly from the side.

The wide, thick leaves form a funnel shape, capable of holding about a pound of nectar.

Perfect for bestowing upon subordinates.

The girl took it and immediately showed a shy yet happy smile.

Lear was also in a good mood.

After Bain left, he looked up at the sky.

At this moment, the swarm was still flying overhead.

With a thought, he had the Mire Wasps disperse, returning to the hive to rest.

He led the fully loaded Bubble Beast and the Mosquito Queen, along with the Queen Bee, to the front of the Swamp Treant.

At this moment, a headless, stitched-together Flesh Butcher lay in front of the Treant, silently undergoing transformation.

There was still no sign of awakening.

Seeing this, Lear felt a bit helpless.

The Two-headed Ogre Chieftain had broken through during the battle to become a Hero unit, but had yet to complete its transformation, so the specific attributes were not visible.

The Mire Queen Bee was the same.

This Flesh Butcher was similarly undergoing transformation... so nothing was definite, huh?

He waved his hand, instructing the Bubble Beast to dump the collected corpses beside the Flesh Butcher.

No matter what, this terrifying existence that could transform into a Divinity was the top priority.

The rest... could wait.

Nearly a hundred thousand corpses of giant blood mosquitoes and Mire Wasps were dumped onto the grassland.

Forming a small mound.

In the blink of an eye, the Flesh Butcher sensed the arrival of food, and a faint scarlet glow emanated from its body.

Quietly enveloping the mound of corpses.

The bodies seemed to undergo centuries of time erosion, rapidly weathering, and in an instant, turning into fragments of residue.

After devouring the vast Life Energy, it was evident that the Flesh Butcher's aura had elevated a bit more.

But there was still no sign of awakening.

Seeing this, Lear slightly raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit defiant.

He continued to feed, hardly believing that it could go on eating endlessly!

After calming himself down, he waved his hand, letting the Bubble Beast bring out the Mosquito Queen.

His gaze turned to the silently standing Swamp Treants behind.

"You use your roots to imprison the Mosquito Queen, only maintaining her life signs, never allowing her to regain strength."

The foremost Swamp Treant twisted its thick trunk, revealing an ugly and ferocious face.

Responding in a muffled voice.

"Yes, Master."

With a ripping sound~

The roots hidden within the earth sprang from the ground, then wound around the Mosquito Queen in circles.

Lear watched intently as the roots wrapped around the Mosquito Queen, piercing directly into her body.

Then, like absorbing the earth's nutrients, directly extracting the power within her.

This was much more aggressive than the bubble imprisonment of the Bubble Beast.

He was very satisfied.

This way, he didn't fear any trouble from the Mosquito Queen, a Level 13 Hero, precautions were necessary.

Also, the swamp treants cannot move; they can keep watch at all times.

Using these life forms to guard the dungeon and prisoners is perfectly suitable.

Not being able to move has its own advantages.

But, how can the Mosquito Queen produce blood essence?

This is the purpose of this hunt.

He turned to look at the Two-headed Giant Chief beside him. Its tall body standing there exerted a kind of visual pressure.

"Aite, do you know how the Mosquito Queen produces blood essence?"

This ogre hero hesitated for a moment and said carefully.

"Mosquitoes all suck blood; after feeding them enough, they should secrete it..."

He added another sentence.

"It's just like the Three-tailed Pigs, feed them well, and they will reproduce."

Lear chuckled, unable to refute this theory.

After thinking for a while, he said softly.

"Then go and bring over two male Three-tailed Pigs."

Among the 20 Three-tailed Pigs raised, 16 are females, and 4 are males.

Two males are enough for breeding.

Currently, all females are pregnant and will give birth next month, so there's no worry about this problem.

Aite immediately responded and personally drove over two pigs.

As the Three-tailed Pigs approached, sensing the Mosquito Queen's aura, they were visibly agitated and fearful.

Aite didn't bother too much, using his fist as large as a sandbag to knock the Three-tailed Pigs unconscious one by one.

He then dragged the 600-kilogram fat pigs and threw them in front of the Mosquito Queen, whose body was tightly bound by tree roots.

Smelling the rich life energy, although the Mosquito Queen was unconscious, its pipe-like proboscis still moved.

Lear, seeing this, experimentally had the swamp treants insert the Mosquito Queen's proboscis into the Three-tailed Pig.

The unconscious Mosquito Queen immediately began to crazily suck the blood of the Three-tailed Pig.

Then a surprising scene unfolded.

The Three-tailed Pig, not just the blood, but also the flesh and bones, was consumed wildly. In just five minutes... a 600-kilogram giant pig was sucked into a mere skin.

At this moment, looking back at the Mosquito Queen, its aura remained calm.

Lear watched in amazement.

The Mosquito Queen's small body could actually swallow a giant pig!

At that moment, the Mosquito Queen's abdomen suddenly began to squirm.

Then an elliptical, half-fist-sized, crimson object full of life energy was produced from its abdomen.

With a thud, it dropped to the ground.

This immediately attracted his attention.

He focused his mind and detailed attributes emerged.

Blood Essence

[Level]: 2 Stars

[Traits]: Contains vast life energy.

[Evaluation]: A unique treasure produced by the Mosquito Queen, with numerous wonderful uses.

So this is blood essence? A 2-star treasure?!!

At this time, the Mosquito Queen's abdomen was still squirming... it continuously produced a total of twenty blood essences before stopping.

Lear's expression turned quite subtle.

"As long as the Mosquito Queen is fed, it can produce blood essence."

"In that sense, maybe there's no need to wake the Mosquito Queen again in the future?"

"Treating it like a living blood essence mine isn't a problem..."

The Mosquito Queen is a powerful combat force, but... using it for production is also good.

Right now, he has no way to enslave it anyway.

While pondering, Lear tried feeding the second pig to the Mosquito Queen.

This pig was also quickly sucked, leaving just a skin, and it produced another 20 blood essences.

After devouring two 600-kilogram fat pigs, the Mosquito Queen's life energy was significantly restored.

But as soon as it recovered, the swamp treants began extracting power, forcefully keeping it suppressed.

Keeping the Mosquito Queen in a perpetual state of unconsciousness...

Lear felt a bit complex about this.

No one expected that the Mosquito Queen would end up as a human-shaped mine producing 2-star treasures...

But, this feeling was not too bad either.

While thinking, he picked up a piece of blood essence and looked at the still unconscious Mire Queen Bee.

He attempted to bring it close to its mouth.

But there was no response.

Shaking his head, he looked up at the sky and with a thought, a few Mire Wasps flying in the air immediately flew over.

They perched on the blood essence and started licking.

After just a few licks, one could feel their life energy rapidly replenished—the blood essence contained the energy they most needed.

The five Mire Wasps only consumed an imperceptible part and felt full.

Seeing this, Lear called over hundreds of Mire Wasps to gnaw, which only consumed a tenth of the blood essence in his hand.

In other words, this single piece of blood essence could feed over a thousand Mire Wasps.

His eyes shone brightly.

Next, all that's needed is to massively expand the breeding grounds, increase the Three-tailed Pig population, and there will no longer be concerns about the life span of the Mire Wasps in the future.

This would firmly establish the strength of the Mire Wasps.

Indeed, farming and raising pigs is the proper path for development.

Feeling satisfied.
