Chapter 236: Chapter 229 Summoning the Bee t
Qin Niu cut down enemies one by one, pushing further in, having killed many wild bees already.
The bodies of these wild bees did not go to waste.
He used them to feed the Golden Toad and Termite.
Crossing the towering mountain range underfoot, he finally saw the Broken Head Peak that stood between the earth and sky ahead.
Its summit looked as though it had been chopped off by a sword.
It might only be two or three thousand meters tall, but it felt immense.
This was the first time Qin Niu had seen such a massive mountain.
Scattered around his feet were the withered bones of humans and animals alike.
Even at night, wandering through the mountains meant facing attacks from various wild bees.
Some suddenly burst from the ground, while others dived down from the tree branches overhead, catching one off guard.
Qin Niu had the protection of twenty thousand Termite, so he didn’t need to lift a finger, for the moment.
When he entered the area of Broken Head Peak, the emerging wild bees became noticeably more vicious. There were bees with wings like steel that were hugely built and moved as swiftly as the wind.
Their stingers were extremely terrifying, not at all inferior to the ordinary Corpse Bee.
If there were only one or two, he might have stood a chance at fending them off.
But if there were hundreds or even thousands, it was unimaginable.
Fortunately, up to this point, he had only encountered sporadic attacks from the Steel-winged Wild Bee.
He had yet to see a large swarm attacking.
Qin Niu decided to hasten his pace to avoid entanglement with them.
Facing wild bee attacks, either the Puppet Ants would control them or the Ghost Ant would directly launch a Mental Attack to bring them down.
He made his way towards the peak, encountering danger but avoiding disasters.
The wild bees appearing became increasingly fierce.
Qin Niu gradually approached the location of the cliff.
At that moment, a Green-headed Bee appeared; it looked much weaker than the Steel-winged Wild Bee.
For someone like Qin Niu, such a creature could be easily killed or captured with confidence.
Unexpectedly, this Green-headed Bee was remarkably quick in flight and extremely agile in the air.
It darted left and right, approaching Qin Niu constantly.
However, this Green-headed Bee was very cunning; it didn’t come within ten meters of Qin Niu, nor did it show any intent to attack him.
This rendered the Termite utterly unable to deal with it.
It was night now, and he couldn’t mobilize his War Bees or Green Ring Worker Bees.
This left him momentarily at a loss with the Green-headed Wild Bee.
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
The dense sound of wing vibrations rose from all directions, and he sensed that something was amiss.
Looking around, he saw Steel-winged Wild Bees flying in from all directions, and upon spotting their target, they charged at him without a word.
Among them were even a few the size of knife handles.
These bees were at least Grade Four and could possibly even be at Grade Five.
He felt their strength was probably not less than that of a Corpse Bee general.
“Damn it, where did all these wild bees come from?”
Qin Niu hurriedly commanded the Termite to prepare for battle.
The number of wild bees continued to grow; there were at least three to four dozen of the knife-handle-sized Steel-winged Wild Bee, to say the least.
As for the ordinary ones, there were far too many to count.
Definitely hundreds.
And their numbers were still increasing.
Everything had been fine until the appearance of that Green-headed Bee, which led to a massive swarm of wild bees flying in from all directions.
Could it be that the Green-headed Bee had a summoning ability?
Or perhaps, it was a Scout Wasp, releasing large amounts of pheromones to call its companions upon spotting an enemy?
Both were possible.
In any case, the sudden emergence of so many wild bees, including some Bee Generals of Steel-winged Bees he had never seen before, was likely the doing of that Green-headed Bee.
The Green-headed Wasp seemed to play a role similar to a minor demon who knocks gongs.
Its combat strength might not be strong, but it was exceptionally agile and quick, and it also possessed the special ability to summon its companions.
“Demon Ant, I assign you a task. Lead ten Puppet Ants to take control of that Green-headed Wild Bee for me,” Qin Niu quickly made his decision.
He particularly favored insects with special abilities.
He found the Green-headed Bee particularly interesting, even valuing it more highly than a Bee General in his eyes.
In the past, he would have sent Fourth on important tasks, but this time he assigned Demon Ant to this matter because his own safety was more important.
He needed to keep Fourth by his side to command the Termite Army and face the hundreds of Steel-winged Wild Bees.
The current situation was actually very dangerous.
If Qin Niu made a single mistake in his response, he could get stung and hurt by them.
Looking at the thick layer of dead bones on the ground, it wasn’t hard to imagine that countless heroes had perished here.
The Demon Ant, with ten Puppet Ants, quickly leapt from Qin Niu’s body to the ground and then approached the Green-headed Wild Bee, which was still swaggering around, calling for friends and allies.
Qin Niu’s side was already having a tough time dealing with the attacks of the wild bees.
Their combat strength was very formidable.
Moreover, they flew swiftly through the air, twisting and turning with ease.
There was no need to mention the Bee Generals, as they seemed to have a flying maneuver that allowed them to perform leap flights in midair.
It looked as though one was still ten meters away, but the next second, it had suddenly pounced on Qin Niu.
However, with the Red-eyed Golden Toad present, their attacks amounted to nothing more than acts of suicide.
The Red-eyed Golden Toad had already eaten three Bee Generals.
But its mouth seemed to have swollen up from stings.
Its movements had also noticeably slowed down.
That meant these wild bees were highly venomous.
Owing to the vast number of wild bees and the considerable strength of each individual, Qin Niu was gradually unable to hold them off.
If it weren’t for his King Pig Leather Armor, he might have been in serious trouble long ago.
Only at this moment did he realize why even the Master of the Seven-Star Sect had been killed by a swarm of Green Demon Bees.
Facing such a multitude of fierce, poisonous bees, ordinary people, unless they were Immortal Masters, stood no chance whatsoever.
Each time Qin Niu swung his blade to kill, he could only manage to eliminate one or two wild bees at best.
More often than not, he swung his blade only to miss completely.
It wasn’t that his swings were inaccurate, but rather that the Steel-winged Wild Bees rapidly evaded them.
“Master, the Green-headed Wild Bee has been controlled,” Demon Ant reported the good news at this moment.
“Good, let it fly over here,” Qin Niu had already used the newly learned Misty Rain Traceless Step, dodging and weaving through the bee’s assault like a drunk, continuously changing his position.
Now, he was eager to shake off the onslaught of the bee swarm.
They kept coming endlessly, and their numbers were growing. If he couldn’t shake them off, Qin Niu would eventually be worn down by them.
Under such tremendous pressure, his Misty Rain Traceless Step had become increasingly proficient, improving at an extremely rapid pace.
Improving martial skills during battle was the fastest way, bar none.
The Green-headed Wild Bee flew over.
Seizing the opportunity, Qin Niu swung his net and caught it, then placed it inside the Insect Jar.
Its body wasn’t strong; it was much weaker than a Bee General.
Even an ordinary Steel-winged Wild Bee would be stronger.
In just a short time, the number of wild bees around him had risen to over ten thousand.
The termites were gradually overpowered, and casualties ensued.
Yet, the number of wild bees continued to surge rapidly.
The area cultivated by the Green Demon, known far and wide for its deadliness, indeed lived up to its reputation.
If Qin Niu’s termites had a longer period for cultivation, that mountain region would probably be even more dangerous than Broken Head Peak..
