The Frenzied Bloodthirsty Bees

Although the Bloodthirsty Bees are good at flying, they are not fast because they carry several blood sacs on their backs. It took them more than a day to fly to the mountains more than 3,000 miles away.

Towering mountains and dense forests surround it.

Song Wen discovered that fewer and fewer of these Bloodthirsty Bees were flying around.

"Fellow Zhu Yin, these Bloodthirsty Bees seem a bit off," Song Wen whispered a reminder.

Zhu Yin had an expression that suggested she had expected this, "This is what makes the Bloodthirsty Bees so difficult to deal with. They've almost hollowed out this mountain. Beneath this mountain, the beehives are interconnected, with numerous entrances."

"So what should we do now? Are we just going to watch them all return to their underground hives?"

Zhu Yin said, "Of course not. Find a suitable place and you can focus on refining the Demon-Luring Incense, while Jing Kai and the others will use it to Demon-Luring Incense. I refuse to believe we can't attract the Queen Bee."

After surveying the entire area covered by the hive, Zhu Yin finally chose a Xiao Shan in the central area as the place for Song Wen to Alchemy.

The reason for choosing this mountain is that several beehive entrances were discovered on it.

The entrances to these beehives vary in size, from as small as a fist to as large as a washbasin.

Song Wen carved out a temporary cave abode on the mountaintop and set up a furnace to Alchemy.

Zhu Yin then led six Foundation Establishment cultivators to the mountain valley below and scattered the Demon-Luring Incense that Song Wen had previously refined into the valley.

Before long, Bloodthirsty Bees smelled the fragrance emanating from the Demon-Luring Incense and crawled out from the cave entrance in the nearby mountain.

Soon, thousands of Bloodthirsty Bees gathered in the narrow mountain hollow.

Beside a gentle slope in the valley, within a concealed array, Zhu Yin and her seven companions were hiding.

Seeing the dense swarms of Bloodthirsty Bees above the mountain valley, Jing Kai a chill run down his spine and asked in a low voice.

"Zhu Yin- Master Zhuyin, when should we make our move? These Bloodthirsty Bees are piled up together; it'll be perfect to take care of them all."

His master, Yu Qi, was Yinshuo's Registered Disciple, while Zhu Yin was Yinshuo's direct disciple. It was only natural for Jing Kai to call Zhu Yin "Uncle-Master".

"Don't act rashly, wait a bit longer. These are all ordinary Bloodthirsty Bees; killing them or not won't make much difference. Let's see if this third-tier Demon-Luring Incense can lure out the queen bee."

"If this goes on for too long, the Demon-Luring Incense might lose its effectiveness," Jing Kai said with some concern.

"With the Extreme Yin here, why would we be afraid of wasting a pot of Demon-Luring Incense?" Zhu Yin said.

After waiting for another half hour, the number of Bloodthirsty Bees gathered above the mountain valley had exceeded ten thousand. Among them were several second-tier soldier bees.

The sight of so many Bloodthirsty Bees piled together is enough to send chills down one's spine and fill one with dread.

Just as Jing Kai had feared, the Bloodthirsty Bees stopped increasing and slowly left, entering their underground nests.

"It seems the effect of the Demon-Luring Incense is weakening," Zhu Yin said in a low voice.

Two hours later, when the Demon-Luring Incense had completely lost its effectiveness and all the Bloodthirsty Bees had left, Zhu Yin still did not choose to take action.

The Demon-Luring Incense had been in production for nearly two days, and its effectiveness had greatly diminished. Therefore, Zhu Yin decided to wait for the next batch of Demon-Luring Incense, as only the newly refined Demon-Luring Powder would have a chance of successfully luring out the third-tier queen bee.

After waiting for six whole days, the next batch of Demon-Luring Incense was finally completed. This was because the first batch of Demon-Luring Incense had failed to be refined.

After Zhu Yin took away the Demon-Luring Incense, Song Wen did not open the furnace again. Instead, he quietly released a Shadow Gu.

The Shadow Gu bypassed the mountain hollow where Zhu Yin and the others were, randomly found a beehive entrance, and climbed inside.

The Shadow Gu is adept at concealing its presence, making it difficult for ordinary second-tier Demon Beast to detect its existence. Song Wen wanted to test whether the Shadow Gu could locate the queen bee within the complex honeycomb.

However, the situation was completely different from what Song Wen had guessed.

The passage was narrow and winding. The Shadow Gu had only gone a short distance when the Bloodthirsty Bees spotted it and pounced on it.

These Bloodthirsty Bees charged forward relentlessly, one after another. Even after realizing they were no match for the Shadow Gu, they did not retreat in fear, but instead spewed out black poisonous mist from their tails.

The poisonous fog quickly filled the narrow passage, making the Shadow Gu quite uncomfortable. Furthermore, with its location already exposed and no possibility of further infiltration, the Shadow Gu had no choice but to retreat from the passage.

"It seems that, just as Zhu Yin said, it's very difficult for outside creatures to sneak into the hive," Song Wen muttered to himself.

On the other side, the seven members of the Zhu Yin used the same trick again, scattering the Demon-Luring Incense in the mountain valley, then hiding inside the formation, waiting for the arrival of the Bloodthirsty Bees.

A moment later.

A large number of Bloodthirsty Bees came vibrating their wings.

Soon, a continuous buzzing sound filled the entire valley.

This time, there were significantly more Bloodthirsty Bees —no fewer than 100,000—crowding into the narrow mountain valley. They formed a dark, overwhelming mass, blotting out the sun and dimming the light throughout the valley.

The Demon-Luring Incense is a powdery substance that, once dispersed, adheres to leaves and flowers.

Countless Bloodthirsty Bees swarmed and moved through the dense forest, all to feed on the powder that Demon-Luring Incense on the leaves.

Too many wolves, too little meat!

The Bloodthirsty Bees high in the sky wanted to descend into the dense forest.

Bloodthirsty Bees in the dense forest yearn to approach areas that exude an alluring scent.

A fight slowly broke out among the Bloodthirsty Bees.

What started as a small-scale disturbance quickly escalated into a large-scale brawl.

They treat their fellow human beings the same way they treat two-legged sheep.

Those Bloodthirsty Bees that didn't reach the required level were the first to suffer, falling one after another from mid-air.

Only a few second-tier Bloodthirsty Bees did not join the fray.

They seemed to want to stop their own kind from killing each other, but these low-level Bloodthirsty Bees completely disobeyed orders, causing a dozen or so second-level Bloodthirsty Bees to frantically fly around in the air.

A moment later, the second-tier Bloodthirsty Bees suddenly burrowed back into its underground hive, perhaps to request assistance from a more powerful member of its kind.

However, it wasn't until four or five hours later that the Demon-Luring Incense completely lost its effect, the low-level Bloodthirsty Bees returned to normal, and the second-level Bloodthirsty Bees never appeared again.

Of the 100,000 Bloodthirsty Bees, only a little over 10,000 survived, but they were all badly wounded. They dragged their mutilated bodies back to the hive.

Within the formation.

Looking at the thick layer of Bloodthirsty Bees corpses on the ground, Zhu Yin showed no joy.

The third-order queen bee did not appear.

Even those second-tier Bloodthirsty Bees never reappeared after they left.

Second-tier Bloodthirsty Bees are not very intelligent, and theoretically they should not be able to resist the temptation of third-tier Demon-Luring Powder.

"Could it be that the chaotic fighting among the low-level Bloodthirsty Bees made the second-level Bloodthirsty Bees sense danger?" Zhu Yin frowned, deep in thought.

"Master Uncle, what should we do with the corpses of these Bloodthirsty Bees?"

Jing Kai looked at the piles of corpses on the ground, his eyes filled with undisguised fervor.

The stinger of the Bloodthirsty Bees contains potent venom, making it an excellent material for crafting low-level Law Artifact.

Normally, when they kill Bloodthirsty Bees, they go all out to wipe out Bloodthirsty Bees of them as quickly as possible, and rarely manage to preserve their stingers intact.

The bodies of these Bloodthirsty Bees that had killed each other were mostly well-preserved, with almost all of their stingers intact.

Although most of the Bloodthirsty Bees have not yet reached the advanced stage, and their stingers are not very expensive, the sheer number of them is overwhelming—no less than 100,000.

Zhu Yin said, "You guys pack up."

Jing Kai immediately lit up with joy. "Yes, Senior Uncle."

After speaking, he gave a look to the other five Foundation Establishment cultivators behind him.

Upon seeing this, all five men were delighted.
