In the deep and sneaky darkness, unpredictable dangers lurk everywhere.
The jungle beasts that go out to hunt in the dark, the vampire vines that are camouflaged in the vines, the sour swamps that look like grass but are actually the habitat of ugly hags, and the ferocious predators that wander like ghosts in the depths of the forest.
who...
If you add those legendary polluters, aberrations and monsters, these things are pieced together to form a real wild world with rich resources and species - the Black Forest.
60 kilometers north of the Flame Throne Witch Tower, this is a territory occupied by the Yabei people.
The night is deep.
But here, it is still a tense and busy scene.
Groups of bee warriors armed with venom-quenched spears and bows and arrows flapped their wings in and out of the forest. Many of them were holding the prey of the trip. Most of them were horned sheep, hyenas, apes and the like.
Common jungle creatures, violent apes, scavengers, and human mercenaries can also be seen from time to time.
Under normal circumstances, each bee team consists of fifteen bee warriors.
According to certain rules, they travel through the black forest thirty miles around their lair, carefully and carefully searching for prey. Whenever they encounter jungle beasts or other monsters that come out to hunt, it heralds a war.
Fighting is inevitable.
It is precisely because of their terrifying aggression that almost none of the bee teams returning to the nest are full. The worst team even only had four bee warriors able to return. But without exception, they are all more or less full.
Brought back some loot.
The Yabe bee's nest is built in a dense forest. It is a strange witchcraft building similar to a honeycomb.
This is also the delivery room of the Bee Queen, a special space for her to give birth and cultivate her tribe.
Those ordinary bees are not qualified to enter the hive. Only some specially selected bee attendants can surround the queen, serve her constantly and take good care of the newly hatched bee eggs.
The incubation cycle of a bee is very short. It only takes seven days from the birth of a bee egg to the hatching of a bee warrior. Therefore, as long as there is sufficient food, a hive can produce bee warriors at an almost explosive speed.
According to the wizard's power division method, the power of ordinary bee warriors is only 07 points. However, despite their very weak individual strength, as long as they gather in a certain number, their danger will rise linearly.
It has wings and can fly, and has superb poison-quenching skills. It can launch long-range attacks with bows and arrows, and it can also hold up a three-pronged spear to launch a dive attack in close combat. These advantages are stacked together, coupled with a steady stream of numbers, once it is allowed
The Yabeis have established a firm foothold, and they can quickly become the overlords of the nearby mountains and forests.
In this vast black forest, except for rough-skinned and powerful monsters like giant elephants and flying dragons that they dare not provoke, almost all other creatures and monsters are preyed on by the Yabeis.
among the list.
Therefore, during the period when Greem left the Throne of Fire, the number of Yabeis who were temporarily uncontrolled by natural enemies was expanding at an almost explosive speed. And their disordered growth undoubtedly also greatly threatened the newly established surrounding areas of the Throne of Fire.
The rise of peripheral forces.
In just seven or eight days, Gargamel has received news of the deaths of two foreign apprentices and a dozen mercenaries. For a time, the thirty or forty miles around the Yabei hive was classified as extremely dangerous by the Throne of Fire. District, Wu Pagoda even issued a strict ban on approaching this area.
However, the appearance of an overly powerful monster group around the Flame Throne is not a good thing from any perspective. Therefore, on the one hand, mercenaries and low-level apprentices were prohibited from approaching the hunting areas of the Yabei Bees. On the other hand, the Wu Tower also A cleanup mission was issued internally, calling on high-level apprentices to clean up these disordered monsters in a planned manner.
…………
Near a small and remote mountain stream, an encounter had just come to an end.
A lone red flame tiger with a body length of 3 meters and a weight of 300 kilograms became the prey of the bee-man predator team.
The dead Red Flame Tiger lay motionless on the grass in the forest, its bright yellow body covered with red magic patterns studded with short black arrows, and there were even two broken spears on its neck.
The weak strength of the bee warriors is not enough to kill the violent Red Flame Tiger, but the poison on their weapons can. So the unlucky lone Red Flame Tiger in front of us was poisoned to death!
However, the violent fireballs spewed by the Red Flame Tiger also caused huge damage to the Bee Predator team. Four Bee warriors were unable to evade and were blown to pieces, and three Bee warriors were killed by the Red Flame Tiger during the dive attack. Terrifying Bite and Fire Tail.
The remaining eight bee warriors also suffered more or less fire damage, but this did not prevent them from happily cutting the body of the red flame tiger and then transporting the tiger meat back in batches.
This kind of monster flesh and blood soaked in a rich elemental flavor is a great tonic, and it is also one of the bee queen's favorite foods.
However, just as they were busy surrounding the Red Flame Tiger corpse, a voice came from the forest not far away, and a humanoid creature hidden in a thick black robe appeared in the sight of the bee warriors.
Humans!
Not only is the opponent among humans, he is also the Queen’s favorite human spell caster!
Because in this forest, the only ones who dare to run around in black robes are the so-called wizard apprentices.
The bee warrior couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Buzz buzz...
The bee-like wings flapped loudly.
The eight bee warriors threw away the bloody debris in their hands, grabbed their spears, and instantly flew into the air. In order to avoid possible witchcraft attacks by the human apprentices, several bee warriors spread out in all directions, using the dense branches and vines to Under the cover of plants, he quickly approached the black-robed figure.
What surprised them was that the black-robed humanoid didn't try to escape, but raised his head slightly, and a pair of strange green eyes shined from the shadow of the hood, scanning the bee-man coldly.
Although they felt that the situation was a bit strange, the bee warriors still followed a fixed procedure and launched an attack on the enemy.
The first wave of attacks was of course the semi-long-range poison-quenching bows and arrows.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Eight poisonous arrows passed through the gaps between the trees and hit the black-robed humanoid in a dense cluster like locusts.
The opponent had no intention of evading, nor did he use any defensive magic. He just stood there and let the poisonous arrows hit him. From the dull sound of the poisonous arrows entering his body, it could be judged that the opponent was not wearing anything underneath his black robe. Any metal armor.
As a result, the eight bee warriors became even more excited, and they kept firing arrows while approaching quickly. When they rushed to less than ten steps away from the black-robed humanoid, they dropped their long bows one by one and swooped down with three-pronged spears in hand. .
When the eight spears were inserted into the opponent's body with a harsh friction sound, the black-robed human figure suddenly erupted with a strange sharp hiss. The whole body suddenly exploded into a sky full of black beetles, instantly drowning the eight bee warriors.
into the terrifying insect swarm.
This was the first time the bee warriors encountered such a terrifying counterattack. They screamed in horror and tried to pull themselves up again, but their heads, faces, bodies, legs, and even the translucent wings were covered with a layer of strange things.
black beetle.
What makes them even more frightened is the strange rustling sound that is as dense as spring silkworms gnawing mulberries, and the terrible pain emanating from the limbs and bones.
A few strong bee warriors barely flapped their wings and flew up, but because they couldn't see, they all hit the horizontal branches and fell down.
The bee warriors struggled wildly and fought back... Many black beetles the size of soybeans were crushed into blood paste and poisoned into black water, but the remaining number was still enough to kill these eight beetles without other witchcraft abilities.
Unlucky guy.
Soon, the forest returned to silence.
There was only a creepy and strange rustling sound left in the quiet and deep dark forest.
After a while, the black beetles that had feasted gathered together again and re-formed into the shape of Billis.
The wizard's apprentice, who had won a great victory in the first battle, stood quietly in the blood on the ground, silently enjoying the comfortable feeling of sweet blood rushing through his body.
Although the Abe Bee is a kind of monster, its appearance is a mixture of bees and elves, and it is also a humanoid monster. In the past, with Bliss's character, he would never do this kind of thing.
cruel behavior.
But today, after merging with the mutated insect mother, everything in front of me has become so natural and no longer strange!
This is my ideal world!
Ever since the fusion was successful, Bliss's violent and bloodthirsty nature has been strongly suppressed by Greem. Although he has secretly preyed on a lot of 'blood food', those weak humans could not bring him much evolutionary progress.
energy.
In comparison, monsters imbued with elemental power are the most suitable as food!
Of course, those sweet and delicious human apprentices are also a walking delicacy. However, Master Grim has issued a strict order, and he cannot use wizards and apprentices as food without permission. Therefore, Bliss can only forcibly suppress living in the
The urge to hunt in Wutali, under the instructions of the master, came here to cause trouble for the Yabei bees.
After finishing eating, Bilisi continued to advance deeper into the jungle with heavy and staggering steps. Behind him, a dense swarm of insects wrapped in scattered pieces of flesh and blood followed him closely like a loyal hound.
Now Bliss has barely completed the evolution of the insect body and has an undead insect body, but none of the mutant beetles to fight for him have been cultivated. Such him is undoubtedly extremely weak. Once he encounters those powerful beetles,
The leader of the monsters, he had no choice but to turn around and run for his life.
So, it’s time to find a place to build an insect nest!
