In a lush forest, Lin Xi, Angela, and Alka were sitting on a smooth round stone to rest.
After two days of traveling, they had reached the interior.
"At our current speed, we can reach the 'Sleeping Forest' in three days at the latest."
Spreading out the map, Lin Xi made an estimate.
For Lan Duo and the others to feel the "Sleeping Forest", it would take fifteen days at the earliest.
As a result, Lin Xi wasn't in a hurry anymore. If she felt like a good place along the way, she would stop for a rest and explore the surrounding area to see if there were any unexpected gains.
Angela and Alka would not rush her. They were like a team of quiet guards, guarding both sides of Lin Xi.
If Lin Xi didn't take the initiative to talk to them, they could remain silent for a whole day.
However, for the two elemental elves, Ye Ye and Ye Chen, they are not so peaceful.
"Lin Xi Lin Xi, are there any delicious fruits around here?"
Ye Ye hovered in front of Lin Xi with an expectant look.
"Look in that direction, you should be able to find some fruit."
Lin Xi pointed the direction for the little guy.
"I'll go look for it right now!"
Ye Ye is an impatient person, and as soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared.
"Yechen, aren't you going to follow?"
Lin Xi looked at Ye Chen who was still staying aside with some surprise.
In his impression, no matter where Ye Ye goes, Ye Chen will be inseparable. Although they always say some complaining words, the relationship between them is really good.
"She can't run far, I can feel it!"
Yechen crossed his arms and looked cool.
"With your and Yeye's strength, nothing can threaten you. If you find it boring to stay here, you can go around and you should encounter some magical beasts."
"They are all too weak to be interested." Ye Chen said.
"Speaking of which, I'm quite curious. Are you and Yeye very strong in the 'Dark Demon Realm'?"
"It's not strong, it can only be considered average at best."
"How does that demon dragon that I fought against compare with you?" Lin Xi asked again.
"That demonic dragon is the overlord of the party. Yeye and I can only hide in front of it, but that demonic dragon has no interest in elemental elves like us."
"Is the magic dragon that strong?" Lin Xi was slightly surprised.
Although he and the demon dragon only fought in the air at first, Lin Xi was confident that even if they were face to face, he could completely suppress the opponent.
What's more, he is much stronger now than he was back then!
"In the 'Dark Demon Realm', the demon dragon is not the strongest. As far as I know, the strongest existence is the demon king."
When Ye Chen said this, his eyes flashed with light.
This made Lin Xi wonder whether it had the idea of challenging the devil?
"Is the Demon King very strong?" Lin Xi asked.
"Very strong!"
"How strong?"
After being silent for a long time, Ye Chen replied: "As strong as the master!"
Lin Xi was stunned: "You mean, my current strength is similar to that of the Demon King in the 'Dark Demon Realm'?"
Yechen nodded.
Lin Xi laughed at herself: "It seems that I have to continue to improve my strength!"
He almost thought that he was really invincible!
Now it seems that there are still strong people out there, we just haven't encountered them yet.
"Lin Xi Lin Xi, look what I found?"
At this moment, Ye Ye's excited voice came over.
Not long after, I saw a large amount of various wild fruits flying towards this direction.
This is not the point.
What is quite surprising is that behind Ye Ye, there is a large group of things, buzzing and chasing.
"Are you stirring up a hornet's nest?"
After seeing what kind of creatures that group was, Lin Xi was speechless.
It was a group of demon bees with stripes all over their bodies. They were as big as the palm of a hand, and the poisonous needles behind them emitted a cold light under the sunlight.
This guy Yeye even moved the entire hive.
Whoosh!
Ye Ye didn't care at all about the demon bees chasing behind her, and their attacks were completely ineffective against it.
In fact, these demon bees don't know the exact location of Ye Ye, and they have no target to attack.
However, when they followed them here, Lin Xi and the others became their attack targets.
Buzz buzz~
The swarm of bees suddenly accelerated, revealed the poisonous needles behind them, and stabbed towards Lin Xi crazily.
"Alka, you have to be careful, these flying insects are poisonous."
Lin Xi smiled and reminded Alka beside her.
Alka used to live by the sea and didn't know much about the inland monsters and monsters.
An episode like the Demon Bee can be regarded as a kind of training, so Lin Xi had no intention of killing it.
He wanted to see how Alka would cope.
Whoosh!
Alka is indeed an elite member of the Tide Clan. He has already deployed a kind of defensive shield around his body by opening and closing his hands.
As for Angela, she didn't move at all. She had a armored body and was also immune to the attacks of this demonic bee.
As for Lin Xi, he was sitting there without any protection at all.
How could the Demon Bee be polite to him? It bent its tail and pierced Lin Xi's skin.
result--
Lin Xi's smile remained unchanged. The tail of the magic bee twisted and its poisonous needle was bent, but it could not penetrate Lin Xi's skin.
All right!
Lin Xi's skin was harder than Angela's armor, so how could these demon bees be able to shake it?
"Lin Xi, this sticky yellow juice is so sweet, try it."
Ye Ye handed the cut-open beehive to Lin Xi. This was destroying people's homes!
"Eat it yourself!"
While talking, Lin Xi reached out and pinched a magic bee.
I don't know what to call this kind of demon bee, but it is quite ferocious. Even though the attack is ineffective, none of them give up.
The magic bee was pinched between the fingers, struggling violently, and the sting behind it stung left and right. If you look at it carefully and alone, it is a bit cute.
Lin Xi was startled by her own thoughts. When did her aesthetics become so different?
Buzz buzz~
Maybe there is some special way of communication between the demon bees. When Lin Xi looked at the fingertip demon bees, the other demon bees seemed to have received the distress signal from their companions and transferred more of their main forces to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi had the ability to kill them in a single thought, but he did not do that. Instead, he began to try to refine them.
The method used is similar to the one used to refine the thirteen fusion beasts.
Chi!
Black energy suddenly surged out of Lin Xi's fingertips and penetrated into the Demon Bee's body in an instant.
Domestication only takes a moment!
The Demon Bee, which had been struggling violently just now, suddenly became at ease.
Lin Xi loosened her finger, and the domesticated magic bee still rested quietly on her finger.
"go!"
Lin Xili used her thoughts to issue an order.
Buzz!
The Demon Bee, which had been motionless just now, suddenly flew up and pounced on a member of its own race.
"It turns out that you can easily tame demonic insects using this method!"
The corners of Lin Xi's mouth turned up slightly, showing that he was in a very good mood at the moment.
"I want to play too!"
While Ye Ye was talking, he actually tamed a magic bee, and looked at Ye Chen extremely provocatively: "If you don't accept it, fight!"
Yechen could fight with her when nothing happened, let alone such a provocation.
Yechen also tamed a demon bee, and then fought with the demon bee controlled by Yeye.
At first, Lin Xi thought it was funny that the two little guys used magic bees as puppets, but soon, he discovered that the magic bees domesticated by Ye Ye and Ye Chen were different.
The biggest difference is that the markings on the Demon Bee's body have changed.
There used to be dark purple markings, but now, they all turned into black markings.
Not only that——
The demon bees they had tamed were covered in black energy, and their ferocity increased dozens of times.
Previously, when the magic bee flew, it would make a "buzzing" sound.
But these two magic bees just made a "whooshing" sound when flying.
"Dark Strengthening!"
After some observation and analysis, Lin Xi had already come to a conclusion.
It has to be said that although his dark energy reserves are far greater than those of the two little guys, he still has a lot to learn from the two little guys in terms of use.
Buzz!
Based on what she just realized, Lin Xi started a new refinement.
Nine black star rings suddenly surged out, and the violent and rich dark energy stopped Ye Ye and Ye Chen, who were originally enjoying themselves.
Click!
Lin Xi stretched out her palm and pointed out something in the air.
On his fingertips, nine mysterious black rings appeared, and in an instant, a magic bee was wrapped around it.
Under the reinforcement of dark energy, the markings on the Demon Bee's body changed strangely.
Originally, the markings on their bodies were irregular dots.
But now, it has evolved into very regular circles of black texture.
Even the transparent wings turned black.
certainly--
Compared with the internal changes, these external changes are nothing to mention.
In just a few breaths, this "dark-strengthened" magic bee seemed to have completed the evolution of a species, and it was condensed with terrifying power.
The king is coming!
The other demon bees around seemed to be frightened and began to fly away in all directions.
How could Lin Xi let them leave? A barrier created out of thin air with just one thought had already trapped these demon bees.
"Yeye, Yechen, let's see whose magic bee is more powerful!"
Lin Xi became more playful and wanted to test the strength of her enhanced magic bee.
Whoosh!
The speed was as fast as a sword slashing through it.
It only took a moment of confrontation to determine the winner.
The bodies of the two demon bees domesticated by Ye Ye and Ye Chen were torn apart, leaving no room for resistance.
"Come again! Come again!"
Ye Ye was unconvinced and tamed another magic bee.
But the result is still the same!
"Give up! Master's enhancement level far exceeds ours."
Ye Chen had already seen the result, so he didn't try again.
After trying it a few times, Yeye probably lost interest and started focusing on her pile of food.
At this time, Lin Xi gave an order to the Demon Bee, who had just won a series of battles.
call out!
The magic bee turned into a black light and penetrated directly through a boulder not far away.
Lin Xi was very satisfied with this result. She cast a spell with both hands, summoned more dark energy, and strengthened and tamed the remaining demon bees.
All the magic bees added up, no more, no less, a total of one hundred and thirty.
"Lin Xi, why are you strengthening them? They are so weak."
Ye Ye looked at Lin Xi in confusion. In her eyes, even if these demon bees were strengthened, they were still weak.
If she took action herself, she could still easily destroy one piece.
"Wouldn't it be better to keep them to collect more honey?" Lin Xi asked with a smile.
Ye Ye's eyes lit up, and when he looked at these weak magic bees, he felt much more friendly.
One hundred and thirty magic bees, as long as they don't encounter such super powerful enemies, can probably become the overlord of a forest.
Lin Xi was thinking that if she planted a medicinal field in the future, she could let them take care of it.
Although it is a bit far-fetched, this sense of accomplishment is real.
"Lin Xi, where are you going to keep them?" Ye Ye asked another question.
This is indeed a problem.
Lin Xi doesn't have the kind of Star Luo Ring that can hold a magic pet.
The original hive has been destroyed by Ye Ye.
You can't let them fly all the way, it would be too conspicuous.
While she was thinking, Lin Xi caught sight of Angela, and an idea suddenly flashed through her mind.
"My lord!"
Before Lin Xi could speak, Angela took a step forward and suggested: "You can put them into my armor!"
Angela's armor is empty inside, so it's a pretty good container.
"Would it wrong you?" Lin Xi asked.
Don't women in general hate bugs and the like? He was afraid that Angela wouldn't be able to stand it.
"Not really!"
Angela's answer was very concise and straightforward.
"Then let's decide like this first!"
Seeing that Angela was serious, Lin Xi adopted this suggestion.
One hundred and thirty demon bees flew into the armor. Without instructions from Lin Xi and Angela, they would not fly out at will.
Lin Xi specially gave Angela permission, so she could freely control these magic bees, which invisibly became Angela's help.
After this little episode ended, it was time for Lin Xi and the others to embark on their journey again.
Habitually, Lin Xi unleashed her detection ability again to see if there were any good things that she had missed.
Who knows——
I didn’t see any good things, but I did find two acquaintances!
"They are actually here?"
At this moment, Lin Xi suddenly felt like "we can meet each other anywhere in the world" in her heart.
The two acquaintances he discovered were none other than Meng Luo and Shan Yan, who had once formed a team with Bai Yueguang and Liuying Rose.
These two people, one is an ice magician and the other is a sword and shield warrior, what a coincidence.
Although they knew each other, Lin Xi was not familiar with them and had no intention of communicating with them in the past.
After all, even if he came to find him, the other party would not know him!
If he knew that he was the original goblin, I would probably not be surprised, but frightened.
"Huh? Are they in trouble?"
Under Lin Xi's special investigation, there was a woman following Meng Luo and Shan Yan.
The three of them were being chased by a group of people. There were more than thirty people on the other side, and the number of them varied greatly.
Now that she discovered it, Lin Xi couldn't pretend not to know.
