Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 308 Demon Bee

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a giant beehive hanging on a towering tree in the distance. The tree was so tall that it reached the sky, and it took several people to hug its thick trunk. Its lush branches and leaves stretched out in all directions, like a huge green umbrella. The dense branches and leaves intertwined together, forming a green canopy that brought shade to the land below.

The beehive was like a huge castle, standing in the air, majestic and frightening. On the high branches, the giant beehive was hanging steadily, as if it was a masterpiece of nature.

The surface of the honeycomb is densely covered with holes, each of which is almost the same size and arranged neatly. From time to time, golden bees fly in and out of those holes, and the buzzing sound of their wings merges into one, like a low thunder echoing in the ears. The sound has a strong penetrating power, making people's eardrums buzz.

The shell of the honeycomb is dark brown, with an old and mysterious texture. Under the sunlight, its surface flickers with a strange light, as if shrouded by a mysterious power. If you look closely, you can also find fine lines on the honeycomb, like an ancient totem, telling an unknown story. Those lines are winding and tortuous, as if they contain some mystery between heaven and earth.

The branches near the hive were bent downwards, as if bearing a huge weight. The leaves around the hive were particularly sparse, as if suppressed by the smell of the hive. The bent branches were like a tired giant, struggling to support the heavy burden above its head.

Shen Yun made a rough estimate and found that the beehive was about ten miles away from everyone's current location. His eyes were deep and focused, as if he could penetrate the long distance and see through the unknown danger. There was a hint of solemnity in his eyes, and he was secretly thinking about a countermeasure.

These golden bees, no, maybe they shouldn't be called bees, they should be called demon bees. They were busy flying around the hive, shining with a strange light. That light was not ordinary gold, but a mysterious purple light, which made people afraid.

Everyone was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and their eyesight was not bad. Surrounding the entire hive, the smallest demon bees were the size of a palm. Their bodies were sturdy and powerful, and the sound made when their wings vibrated was deep and powerful, as if telling of their strength. The demon bees' abdomens were bulging, as if they contained huge energy. Their eyes flashed with strange light, which made people shudder. The fluff on their bodies was clearly visible, and under the sunlight, it showed a metallic texture, like a sharp weapon.

Each demon bee is like a well-made weapon, full of deadly threats. Their flight paths seem chaotic, but in fact they follow a certain pattern, as if they are guarding the mysterious beehive. That pattern is like an ancient formation, which is hard to grasp.

Everyone looked at the giant beehive and their scalps tingled. Some people took a few steps back unconsciously, walking slowly, for fear of disturbing the bees inside. Others stared with their eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief, as if they couldn't believe that such a huge and mysterious thing existed in the world.

Lin Meng took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "Such a big hive, there must be so many demon bees in it. It would be terrible if we were targeted by them." His voice was full of fear and awe, and beads of sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks.

Lin Ruyi's face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "This is too scary, let's stay away from it." Her body trembled slightly, and her hands unconsciously grasped the corners of her clothes. Women are naturally afraid of insects, even monks are no exception.

Shen Yun frowned, staring at the beehive, thinking about how to deal with it. His brain was working rapidly, analyzing various possible situations.

The weakest of these demon bees were at the first level, and with such a large number, if they rushed forward at once, it would be difficult for everyone to escape unscathed. The demon bees were like well-trained warriors, exuding a chilling aura. They flew through the air, their wings vibrating at a dazzling frequency, forming a golden phantom.

The strength of the first-level demon bees should not be underestimated. They are as fast as the wind and often disappear in a flash, making it difficult for people to catch their figures. Every time the powerful wings vibrate, they can stir up a tiny airflow in the air. Their strength is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The sharp long thorns are like sharp spears. If you are pierced by them, it will inevitably bring you severe pain deep into your bones.

And there were so many of them that once they launched an attack, it was like a surging tide, overwhelming the sky and leaving no place for people to escape. The dense swarm of demon bees was like a golden dark cloud that could cover the sky in an instant. The buzzing sound they made in unison was like the horn of death, deafening and terrifying.

Moreover, among the demon bees that came in and out, one or two demon bees with the aura of the second level could be seen from time to time. These second-level demon bees were larger in size, and the patterns on their bodies were more complex and mysterious. Their wings flashed with a cold light, as if they were made of metal. Their compound eyes revealed ferocity and cunningness.

The speed of the second-level demon bees is several times faster than that of the first-level ones, and they fly through the air like lightning. Their strength is enough to easily break boulders, and their hard shells can withstand most attacks. Once they join the battle, they will become the enemy's nightmare.

Furthermore, Shen Yun did not believe that there was no third-level monster behind the monster that could occupy such a blessed land as Linghua Valley. Linghua Valley was rich in spiritual energy and rich in spiritual plants, making it an excellent place for cultivation. Such a precious land must be guarded by a powerful being.

The biggest possibility is that there is a third-level queen bee inside the hive. This queen bee may be even larger, with more complex and mysterious patterns on her body, exuding the pressure of a king. It controls the entire bee colony and directs the actions of the demon bees.

The most important thing is that as the formation is broken and the mist dissipates, the demon bees will inevitably be attracted by the spiritual flowers here. Those spiritual flowers bloom with brilliant light and emit charming fragrance, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation for the demon bees.

Lin Ruyi's eyes were filled with worry, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Yun, what should we do?"

Lin Meng gritted his teeth, clenched the weapon in his hand, and said, "What are you afraid of? At worst, I can just fight them!"

Shen Yun shook his head and said, "Don't be reckless. We must come up with a foolproof plan."

Shen Yun said softly, "Everyone, retreat, move gently, and don't attract the attention of these demon bees." His voice was low and firm, with an unquestionable majesty. Hearing this, everyone moved back carefully, not daring to breathe.

At Shen Yun's command, everyone restrained their breath and slowly retreated. Everyone was cautious, as if every movement was slowed down countless times. Lin Ruyi lightly lifted her footsteps, the contact between the soles of her shoes and the ground was as light as a feather falling, and her breathing became extremely subtle, for fear that the faint sound of her breath would attract the attention of the demon bee.

Lin Meng's huge body also seemed particularly flexible at this moment. When he moved his feet, his muscles were tense, and he controlled the strength of each step, trying not to make any noise. His wide eyes were full of tension and vigilance, and his hands holding the weapon tightly had white knuckles due to the force.

Shen Yun walked at the end of the team, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, paying attention to any possible movement. His steps were steady and cautious, and every step was carefully calculated to ensure that he would not step on anything that might make a sound.

The other tribesmen also had solemn expressions. Some had dense beads of sweat on their foreheads, but they did not dare to raise their hands to wipe them off; some had their lips tightly closed, their eyes filled with fear, but they still firmly followed the team and slowly retreated.

The air around them seemed to freeze, with only the slight rubbing of clothes and the cautious breathing of the crowd. They did not dare to look at the terrifying swarm of demon bees, for fear that the movement of their eyes would attract the attention of the demon bees.

The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but it could not relieve the tension and fear in everyone's heart. The leaves trembled slightly in the wind, making a slight rustling sound, which instantly accelerated everyone's heartbeat.

At this moment, a spiritual flower not far away attracted Lin Daoqing's attention. The spiritual flower grew in a quiet corner, and the surrounding grass seemed to deliberately make room for it, highlighting its uniqueness.

Lin Daoqing couldn't help but take a few more glances at it, and he was delighted in his heart: Isn't this a second-grade top-grade spiritual flower, the Yunling Flower?

His eyes were fixed on the soul flower. Its stem was straight and tough, as if it contained infinite vitality. Its leaves were emerald green with delicate textures, like a carefully drawn leaf vein map. And the flower was breathtakingly beautiful.

Lin Daoqing's heartbeat quickened involuntarily.

The spiritual flower stood out among the green grass. Its petals were as soft as velvet, showing a deep and charming purple color. Each petal looked like a carefully crafted work of art.

The edges of the petals shimmered with a faint golden light, as if inlaid with a layer of fine gold edges. Under the sunlight, the light flowed like a dream. In the stamens of the Yunling Flower, there was a hazy spiritual light, as if it was a miniature star emitting mysterious power.

The air around the spiritual flower seemed to become more lively because of its existence. The breeze blew by, bringing a faint fragrance that made people feel relaxed and happy. Lin Daoqing's eyes were instantly attracted by it, and his eyes were full of surprise and greed.

Lin Daoqing's breathing also became rapid.

The second-grade superior soul-enriching flower is considered a relatively rare spiritual plant, and has amazing magical effects. Directly taking it can purify the spiritual power in the body of the cultivator, and the effect can be said to be immediate.

When the soul-enriching flower enters the body of a cultivator, it quickly releases a pure and powerful force, like a baptism, penetrating into every bit of spiritual power. This force is like a precise craftsman, removing impurities from the spiritual power, making it purer and more condensed. The cultivator can clearly feel that the quality of the spiritual power is instantly improved, becoming more powerful and more stable, as if a gurgling stream has gathered into a rushing river.

If it is combined with other auxiliary medicines and refined into a pill, the effect will be even better. After taking such a carefully refined pill, the spiritual power in the cultivator's body will burn like a bonfire, bursting out with amazing power. The speed of spiritual power will be greatly accelerated, and the meridians will be further expanded and strengthened.

The bottleneck encountered in cultivation may be easily broken through because of this pill; the hidden injuries in the body will gradually heal under the nourishment of the pill. For cultivators, such a pill is undoubtedly a key to a higher realm and a rare treasure that can be encountered but not sought.

Lin Daoqing secretly estimated that if he could take this soul flower, his spiritual power would be at least 30% stronger. He imagined the scene of spiritual power surging in his body, and that powerful force seemed to be able to break through all obstacles. His combat power would also be greatly improved. In this secret realm full of dangers, more strength means more safety.

He knew very well that this place was full of unknown dangers, but the Soul Flower in front of him was like a beacon in the darkness, giving him hope of improving his strength and ensuring his own safety.

Thinking of this, Lin Daoqing no longer hesitated, his eyes became determined. He took a deep breath, tapped his toes lightly, and headed towards the location of the soul flower like an agile cheetah.

His figure was light and swift, his sleeves fluttering in the wind. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to get the soul flower as soon as possible. The surrounding scenery quickly receded in his eyes, and all his attention was focused on the goal in front of him.

Shen Yun quickly noticed Lin Daoqing's abnormality, and secretly said in his heart that something was wrong. His already tense nerves instantly became more tense, and his brows were furrowed into the shape of a "川" character. He lowered his voice and shouted anxiously: "Daoqing, come back soon!" His voice was low and stern, full of worry and anxiety.

However, Lin Daoqing, who was attracted by the soul-enhancing flower, seemed not to hear Shen Yun's call. His whole world seemed to be filled with the soul-enhancing flower in front of him. He kept moving, as if being pulled by an invisible force, and approached the precious soul flower step by step.

Lin Ruyi also said anxiously: "Daoqing, don't be impulsive, the demon bees may discover us at any time!" Her voice trembled a little, and her beautiful face became a little pale because of tension and worry.

Lin Meng clenched his fists even more, veins popped out on his forehead, and his strong body trembled slightly because of anger and tension. His eyes were wide open, but he didn't dare to shout loudly. He could only curse Lin Daoqing's recklessness in his heart: "This idiot, for a spiritual flower, is he going to put everyone in danger?"

At this time, Lin Daoqing had already come to the Soul Flower. He stretched out his hand excitedly, ready to pick it. His eyes were shining with enthusiasm, and his heartbeat was accelerating rapidly, as if he had seen the scene of his strength greatly increased after taking the Soul Flower. His hands were trembling slightly, and his breathing became rapid.

The atmosphere around was extremely tense. Everyone held their breath and stared at Lin Daoqing, their hearts filled with fear and anxiety.
