Zhou Xindie stayed outside to meticulously scout the terrain and deliberate over the Array formation, while Zhou Chun, carrying the jade boxes that sealed the Skyfrost Cold Bees, entered the mountain crevice cave alone.
He ventured deeper and soon arrived at the location of the Cold Spring ice cave.
Previously, Zhou Chun had released ten Snow Crystal Worms into this Cold Spring ice cave for breeding and discovered that they could live just as well here.
This gave him strong confidence in breeding the Skyfrost Cold Bees in this place.
Now, having reached the ice cave, Zhou Chun set the other jade boxes aside, then picked one up, and gently opened the lid.
As soon as the jade box was opened, the Demon Bee inside, sensing the rich cold Qi of the outside world, began to vibrate its wings, attempting to take flight.
But the Restriction Talisman attached to it emitted a faint white light, suppressing it within the box, preventing it from flying no matter how hard it vibrated its wings.
For a creature like the Skyfrost Cold Bee, listed on the Heaven-Earth Strange Insects Ranking, all its abilities lay in the “Skyfrost Cold Qi” within its body; if we’re comparing physical attributes alone, its bite and strength might not necessarily be stronger than that of the Mystical Armor Golden Feather.
The Skyfrost Cold Bees had their internal cold Qi sucked out by the Moon Toad Pearl during the previous battle with Zhou Chun, and had been sealed ever since, unable to absorb the external cold Qi to recover, so naturally, they couldn’t escape the suppression of the Restriction Talisman.
Of course, more importantly, the Skyfrost Cold Bees in Zhou Chun’s hands were not yet adult Demon Insects, not even at the mature stage, but merely in the growing phase.
Zhou Chun stretched out his hand and captured the Demon Bee, holding it in his palm to inspect.
Golden light flickered on his hand, no matter how the Demon Bee opened its mouth and tried to bite, it could not pierce through that thin layer of golden light.
However, after carefully observing the Demon Bee for a while, Zhou Chun suddenly furrowed his brows, muttering to himself, “Something’s not right, the Skyfrost Cold Bee recorded on the Strange Insect List should have eighteen blue stripes on its body and no black spots on its wings, why does this Demon Bee only have sixteen stripes and black spots on its wings?”
Could it be that the Strange Insect List had the wrong information?
Zhou Chun’s brow was tightly knitted, and doubts arose in his mind.
This was not impossible, after all, the Strange Insects listed in the Heaven and Earth Strange Insects List were based on information gathered by the cultivators of the Thousand Spirit Sect, not species they had seen with their own eyes.
If there were some slight differences in appearance, that was possible.
But Zhou Chun knew there was another possibility.
That was, these Demon Bees were indeed not Skyfrost Cold Bees, but rather the mixed-blood offspring of Skyfrost Cold Bees and other Demon Bees.
Such cases had occurred before; the cultivators of the Thousand Spirit Sect had found some Demon Insects with Strange Insects bloodline. Though they were not as strong as those listed on the Strange Insect List, they were indeed much stronger than ordinary Demon Insects.
However, to Zhou Chun’s knowledge, ice-attributed Demon Bees are already very rare, and within the borders of the Yang Kingdom, he had not heard of any other discovery of ice-attributed Demon Bees.
So this possibility seemed rather unlikely.

“Right, let’s check the Bee King!”
Zhou Chun suddenly thought of something, promptly put the Demon Bee back into the jade box and sealed it, then took out the jade box that sealed the Bee King.
The Bee King was powerful, and to prevent it from breaking the seal, Zhou Chun had affixed several second-tier Restriction Talismans to it.
Now, after taking out the Bee King, he began to count the blue stripes on its body.
“There are eighteen blue stripes; no mistake, the Bee King is surely a genuine Skyfrost Cold Bee!”
This result eased Zhou Chun’s worries.
Since the Bee King was a genuine Skyfrost Cold Bee, the offspring it produced would definitely be Skyfrost Cold Bees as well.
As for why those Demon Bees had two fewer blue stripes on their backs and some extra black spots on their wings, Zhou Chun surmised that there could be two reasons.
Either they would grow those two blue stripes when they reached adulthood or the mature phase,
or their bloodline had slightly degraded.
Either way, the problem wasn’t significant.
The degradation of a Demon Insect’s bloodline was not a serious matter; generally, this occurred as a necessary response to adapt to the environment.
As long as they were provided with a suitable living environment, their bloodline could still be purified and return to their ancestry.
If he had left this group of Skyfrost Cold Bees to develop naturally in the wild, it’s likely those with a degraded bloodline would struggle to purify their lineage.
But if Zhou Chun tamed them, he would surely collect various ice-attributed Spirit Materials to feed them, helping them purify their bloodline and advance to become true Skyfrost Cold Bees.
Thus, after clarifying the situation, Zhou Chun also breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately got to work, constructing a frame out of ice above the Cold Spring, then took out the giant piece of Millennium Cold Jade and placed it on the frame, covering the Cold Spring with the beehive perfectly fitting over it.
After that, he took out the larvae and put them into the beehive.
There were a total of thirty-four larvae, none of which could fly yet.
This illustrated the great difficulty in breeding a Strange Insect like the Skyfrost Cold Bee.
Keep in mind that the queen of a normal wasp colony can lay several hundred eggs in a day.
After observing the activity of the larvae in the beehive and confirming that they were comfortable with their new environment, Zhou Chun began to inscribe the Contract Formation to initiate a contract and claim ownership over these larvae.
The juvenile stage of any Demon Beast and Demon Insect is the best time to form a contract and claim ownership.
At this stage, Demon Beasts and Demon Insects are like two- or three-year-olds, akin to blank slates, with virtually no sense of resistance.
Zhou Chun used some food as bait and easily reached a contract with the thirty-four larvae.
