Blood Jade Bees

It looked like he could only deploy En.

Before long, screams rang out from within the forest.

This forest was also a place rarely visited by people, filled with all kinds of wild beasts, snakes, insects, and vermin.

If one was careless, it was easy to be targeted by the creatures of the forest.

Lucky stopped.

He deployed En as he moved.

He did not immediately find any Blood Jade Bees.

Unfortunately, Lucky did not know much about Blood Jade Bees. Otherwise, he could have searched according to their habits.

"But since there's honey, there must be flowers they need to gather nectar from!" With that thought in mind, Lucky paid attention to areas with more flowers.

Suddenly, a bloody stench assaulted his nose.

A massive mouth lunged at Lucky, trying to swallow him whole.

It was a giant python hanging from a tree.

Before it could get close to Lucky, however, he merely swiped lightly with his hand. A Vacuum Slash appeared, splitting the giant python in two from its jaws onward.

The creatures in this forest were far more dangerous than those in Vita Desert. At least, upon sensing Lucky's aura, ordinary wild beasts would not dare attack him.

The python was merely a minor interruption. Lucky continued moving through the trees.

He searched for traces of the Blood Jade Bees with En.

It was strange. He had not found a single beehive in the forest, nor had he even seen one Blood Jade Bee.

Could they be in the mountains?

Lucky guessed.

Lucky moved swiftly and had already reached the depths of the forest.

He had also suffered quite a few attacks from wild beasts, though all of them ultimately died at Lucky's hands.

Suddenly, a roar resounded throughout the forest, startling countless birds into flight as trees toppled over.

Lucky finally discovered traces of the Blood Jade Bees.

In the distance, a massive beehive over three meters tall stood within the forest.

Amid the constant buzzing, a large swarm of Blood Jade Bees continuously flew out of the hive.

They were attacking a figure over five meters tall. Looking closely, it was a gigantic Brown Bear.

The Brown Bear continuously swung its paws, swatting the Blood Jade Bees away one after another.

Even after being sent flying by the Brown Bear's paws, those Blood Jade Bees did not immediately die.

They could still fly.

Meanwhile, the Blood Jade Bees used their stingers to sting the Brown Bear.

But the Brown Bear's hide was so thick and rough that it had no effect whatsoever.

Nor did the Blood Jade Bees leave their stingers in the Brown Bear's body. They had already surpassed ordinary bees.

A group of even larger Blood Jade Bees suddenly flew out of the hive, each one as large as an adult's head.

Lucky had already reached the nearby area. He used Zetsu to conceal his aura and watched the battle in the distance.

Were they enemies? Or was the Brown Bear trying to eat honey?

These Blood Jade Bees were indeed not simple.

The Blood Jade Bees that emerged afterward were not merely larger. Their stingers were bigger and sharper, with droplets of liquid even trickling from them.

That was Blood Jade Bee venom.

An ordinary person would immediately be poisoned to death if stung.

But this Brown Bear was also an old hand. With a roar, it stunned all the ordinary Blood Jade Bees surrounding it.

It suddenly accelerated, swatting away the larger Blood Jade Bees. After sending them flying, it immediately followed up, smashing them all to death.

These Blood Jade Bees were no match for the huge Brown Bear.

This great Brown Bear was also a dominant force in Bremen Forest. At maturity, it could reach seven or eight meters in height, and its hide was so thick that ordinary firearms could not even kill it.

However, obtaining the honey would not be so easy.

When Lucky's En had swept over the area earlier, he had learned that this beehive was not simple.

There was an even larger life form inside. Lucky guessed it was the queen bee.

It seemed that the queen of these Blood Jade Bees did not simply focus on reproduction.

After the Brown Bear took out quite a few Blood Jade Bees,

the hive indeed began to shake, as though it had sensed the changes outside and become uneasy.

More Blood Jade Bees then flew out, along with an even larger one, a Blood Jade Bee the size of a four- or five-year-old child.

Though its blood-jade coloring gave it a magnificent appearance, its mouthparts, antennae, and stinger all gave off a savage and terrifying impression.

It was the kind of sight that made one's skin crawl.

As soon as the Queen Bee appeared, a gap was broken open in the hive.

All kinds of Blood Jade Bees flew out from within. Even the Blood Jade Bees that had not fully matured left the hive.

At the same time, the fragrance of Blood Jade Bee honey wafted out.

Lucky felt that his luck was not bad. A scene of two tigers fighting was advantageous for an observer like him.

After the Queen Bee appeared, the Blood Jade Bees that had been attacking chaotically began to change, becoming orderly.

They wanted to rely on their numerical advantage to attack the Brown Bear.

Although the Queen Bee was the largest and posed the greatest threat to the Brown Bear, it did not attack personally.

It spent more of its effort controlling the other Blood Jade Bees.

Through observation, Lucky found that both the Brown Bear and the Queen Bee were highly intelligent.

Creatures like them could no longer simply be described as wild beasts.

Lucky suddenly heard the sound of people rapidly approaching.

They were other examinees.

With such a huge commotion here, along with that fragrance, the others naturally guessed what it was and rushed in this direction.

Before the other examinees could get close,

the Blood Jade Bees began to undergo a strange change.

A massive group of Blood Jade Bees gathered around the hive. They actually intended to carry the hive away!

They truly were intelligent.

Of course, it would not be so easy.

Sensing the Blood Jade Bees' actions, the great Brown Bear roared angrily.

Even its movements became somewhat frantic.

Three examinees arrived at the edge of the battlefield at the same time.

They were Examinee 88 Ivey and Examinee 89 Nante.

They were companions, as well as two of the more outstanding examinees in this test.

The other was Examinee 101 Wesley.

Upon arriving at the battlefield, they quickly grasped the situation. They were astonished by the scale of the Blood Jade Bees and the size of the hive, as well as the extremely dangerous great Brown Bear.

But they were also fortunate. With such a large hive, there had to be more honey. The examinees could cooperate with each other, and quite a few Blood Jade Bees had already died.

As long as the Blood Jade Bees and the Brown Bear could wound each other badly, they could reap the benefits.

That would be the best possible outcome.

But some things could not be obtained just by wishing for them.

The Brown Bear dropped onto all fours and charged directly forward. Every Blood Jade Bee blocking its path was sent flying.

It swiftly reached the hive.

With one powerful swipe, it sent many Blood Jade Bees flying and shattered a corner of the hive along with them.

The Queen Bee truly panicked and took the lead in stinging the Brown Bear.

But it was swatted away by the Brown Bear's other paw.

With another roar, the Brown Bear actually tried to knock down the hive.

These Blood Jade Bees were simply no match for the Brown Bear.

Seeing that there would be no mutual destruction at all, the examinees naturally had to step in and stop the Brown Bear.
