Long Chen quietly followed the two of them until after traveling for more than a hundred miles, a group of people appeared in front of them. The leader was Qi Xin, wearing gold armor and a scholar's scarf.
Around Qi Xin, seventy or eighty people had gathered. Everyone was wearing armor and helmets, and the gaps were covered with cloth, leaving only two eyes exposed.
This made Long Chen couldn't help but feel curious. What on earth were they trying to do with their outfits like this? Just as he was thinking about how to sneak in quietly, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
"What are you doing standing around stupidly? Hurry up and gather together," a man wearing a helmet shouted in a rough voice.
"oh oh"
Long Chen quickly agreed and followed the man. Behind him, there were more than a dozen people, probably all together. They were mixed in the crowd, so Long Chen was not so conspicuous.
"Brother Qi, we've almost arrived. We don't have to wait any longer." The man led everyone to Qi Xin and said respectfully.
Qi Xin looked around, nodded and said, "No need to wait, we should have enough."
After speaking, Qi Xin said to the man: "How is it? Is there any news about Long Chen?"
The man shook his head and said: "Our brother has not found any trace of him. I don't know if this kid is hiding to heal his injuries. After all, Lei Qianshang's thunder seed is not something ordinary people can bear."
Qi Xin frowned slightly and said coldly: "I heard that this bastard is very valued by Tang Waner, huh, it's best not to let me meet him.
Otherwise, I will let him taste the poisonous poison of our Qi family and let him understand what life is worse than death."
Long Chen sneered in his heart, I'm right in front of you, you should let me have a taste! I haven't settled the score with you yet, but you have started to plot against me.
Before the assessment, Qi Xin ordered his men to kowtow to admit his mistake, hoping to make Long Chen look embarrassed.
As a result, Xiaoxue's attack later made him unable to move forward or retreat, which made him completely embarrassed, so he already hated Long Chen to the core.
After entering the assessment map, Qi Xin has been searching for news about Long Chen. Unfortunately, the assessment map is too big, which is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
"Okay, everyone, listen carefully. What we are dealing with this time is a beehive, and our target is the honey inside," Qi Xin said to everyone.
Everyone couldn't help but look a little weird when they heard it. Is it worth stealing some honey to make such a big fuss?
"Listen carefully to me. What we have to deal with is not ordinary bees, but monsters - butterfly jade bees." Qi Xin had long known that everyone would have this expression and snorted coldly.
Many people's expressions changed when they heard the words "Die Yu Feng". Many people have heard of this name because it is very scary.
The butterfly jade bee has a very beautiful appearance, with butterfly wings, and its whole body is crystal clear, like jade, so it is called the butterfly jade bee.
The Jade Bee is not big, only about the size of a palm, and is a first-order monster. However, it is not a real monster because it has neither a crystal core nor an inner elixir. Logically speaking, it can only be regarded as an insect.
However, its terrifying toxicity makes people have to include it in the ranks of monsters. It is not fatal, but it can cause pain to people's nerves. Being stung by it will make people miserable.
The jade bee is a social creature, with a nest of tens of thousands. If you are stung by dozens of jade bees, it will definitely drive you crazy.
Although they all wear armor, there are gaps in the armor. The shoulders, elbows, knees and other parts are semi-exposed in order to move flexibly, so they cannot defend against the butterfly and jade bees.
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but feel frightened. Although their faces were covered, the fear in their eyes was all exposed.
"You don't have to be afraid. There are many of us. We can rush into the hive with lightning speed, collect the honey and leave.
As long as we are fast enough, there will be no problem. This is our first group activity, and I hope everyone can show their enthusiasm." Qi Xin glanced at everyone calmly.
Obviously what he said was very clear. Although you have all joined my forces, if you play tricks with me later on, don't blame me for kicking you out.
Everyone was also shocked. Most of the people here joined Qi Xin's forces through family connections. If they were kicked out, it would be difficult to live in the other courtyard.
"Okay, everyone, follow me"
Qi Xin also put on his helmet, waved to everyone, and led them forward. Long Chen also followed the flow of people forward, and he couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart.
He knew about the butterfly jade bees, and what he valued most was the butterfly jade queen bee honey, but he didn't know whether a queen bee was born in this nest of butterfly jade bees.
The queen bee that Long Chen talks about is not an ordinary queen bee, but a queen bee that is old enough and evolves into a magical beast.
Ordinary butterfly jade bees cannot advance. They are insects from birth to death, but the queen bee is different. Its size is huge. Generally, a butterfly jade queen bee that is more than a hundred years old can advance to a first-level monster.
At about three hundred, you can advance to a second-level magical beast, and only the queen bee of a second-level magical beast can brew queen honey.
Ordinary butterfly jade honey has the effects of calming the nerves, relieving pain, and detoxifying, and its effect is very powerful, comparable to ordinary elixirs.
Dieyu Queen Honey is a treasure. This kind of honey has a great calming effect. Drinking it before practicing can help people quickly get rid of distracting thoughts and make it easier to enter meditation.
Originally, Long Chen had that magical jade pendant and didn't need such a thing, but just because Long Chen didn't need it, it didn't mean that others didn't need it.
To others, it was a priceless treasure that was hard to find. Although Long Chen couldn't use it, he could sell it in exchange for something he needed. It was definitely the hardest currency and would never depreciate.
After traveling for dozens of miles, Long Chen heard a buzzing sound in his ears and saw palm-sized bees flying in the air from time to time, like bees carved from jade.
Although they have butterfly-like wings, they move very quickly, coming and going like the wind.
"Be careful, don't kill these Jade Bees, otherwise they will attract more Jade Bees," Qi Xin warned as he moved forward cautiously.
Long Chen smiled slightly, "That's right, I also know some of the habits of Dieyu Bee. It seems you can help a lot."
After moving forward for some distance, everyone slowed down because a huge beehive appeared in front of them.
Unlike ordinary beehives, it is not hung on a tree, but built on a boulder like a house.
The shape of the honeycomb is like a huge duck egg lying on the ground, more than ten feet long. The outside of the honeycomb looks like it is made of jade, shining brightly in the sun.
Countless butterfly jade bees were coming in and out, extremely busy. Seeing such a huge hive, everyone's heart could not help but feel in their throats.
Long Chen carefully observed the beehive and saw that there were stripes of three different colors at the entrance of the beehive. He couldn't help but have a smile on his lips: Hehe, now we have something to play with.
"A few people should go over and inquire about the situation first," Qi Xin said as he glanced at the hive.
As Qi Xin finished speaking, three people immediately stepped forward without any hesitation and touched the hive more than a hundred feet away.
Qi Xin nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face. The others looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that these three people had left a good impression on Qi Xin.
Long Chen's mouth showed a touch of sarcasm, and he cursed in his heart: What a bunch of idiots, you all came here with your faces covered, who can recognize who you are? To show loyalty, you also need to introduce your identity, right?
The three of them were very smart. They crawled all the way and moved slowly, trying not to disturb the busy butterflies and jade bees.
Seeing the three of them approaching the hive little by little, everyone's hearts were in their throats, even Qi Xin looked nervous.
He didn't expect the three of them to steal the honey. He needed them to confirm the situation in the hive and then formulate a plan.
There was nothing unusual about the three of them walking forward, and the busy Die Jade Bees ignored them.
But when they were still fifty feet away from the hive, the originally busy Dieyu Bee suddenly stopped moving, and the whole world suddenly became quiet.
"No, come back quickly," Qi Xin's face changed slightly and he shouted hurriedly.
But just as he finished speaking, hundreds of jade bees suddenly rushed towards the three people. The three people were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated without covering their bodies.
But there was still one person who started a little late and was caught up by a butterfly bee and stung him on the shoulder.
"ah……"
The man let out a shrill scream, and even though his face was covered, you could still feel that his face must have been deformed in pain.
Die Jade Bee's poison is unusually overbearing, specializing in people's pain nerves. This has nothing to do with cultivation level. On the contrary, the higher the cultivation level, the more sensitive the nerves will be, and the more painful it will be.
The man was stung and almost reflexively slapped his shoulder with his hand.
"No," Qi Xin shouted angrily.
But he roared too late. By the time he finished roaring, the man had already slapped the butterfly jade bee into powder.
"Buzz"
Just as he beat the butterfly queen to death, the entire hive shook. Qi Xin was shocked to find that countless butterfly bees were pouring out of the hive like a flood. It was almost endless.
"Escape quickly"
Without even thinking about it, Qi Xin moved his feet and the person flew out like an arrow from the bowstring. Everyone knew that this was a hornet's nest and ran away like crazy.
Although they ran fast, the Die Jade Bees were not slow either. Four or five people were immediately stung by the Die Jade Bees and let out shrill screams.
Long Chen was in the crowd and watched these guys howling like ghosts after being stung. He couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. He dared to provoke Die Yufeng without any preparation. Isn't this looking for death?
It's rare that Qi Xin usually dresses like a scholar and pretends to be knowledgeable and talented. In fact, he is just a idiot. In this way, he will never get honey in his life.
The group of people ran for nearly a hundred miles before the group of angry Dieyu Bees let them go. When the Dieyu Bees left, more than a dozen people fell to the ground, still screaming like they were killing pigs.
"Bang bang bang..."
Qi Xin shook his hand, and more than a dozen water balloons flew out and hit these people on the head, knocking them unconscious immediately. The howling like killing pigs stopped suddenly, and the whole world became quiet.
Qi Xin's face turned pale. He didn't expect that he would be in such a mess before he could figure out the situation of the Dieyu Beehive. He couldn't help but feel angry.
Everyone in the audience remained silent, and the howling of their companions just now still lingered in their ears.
Most of the people present were respectable people. If it weren't for the unbearable pain, no one would be willing to make such an unpleasant cry. This shows that the butterfly jade bee is too terrifying.
When everyone was silent, Long Chen said in a rough voice: "Maybe I have a way to get the jade honey."
