222: Hope to capture the Soul-Eating Bee Queen

"Run!"

Owen didn't have time to wonder why the Petrifying Gaze only affected Huang Chen for two seconds. He immediately made the correct choice, turning around and running away.

However, less than a second into his run, a stream of lava descended from the sky and slammed directly into him.

-44512!

Owen's HP was instantly depleted, but a pale golden shield appeared, forcibly locking his HP at 1 point. Then, with a flash of white light, both were teleported out of the arena.

"I didn't expect that even a Child of Destiny in the current Low Martial Race Group would only have forty thousand or so HP," Huang Chen sighed, rubbing the tip of his nose.

The Trial Takers who had fought Huang Chen before generally had around ten thousand HP, which was reasonable. Their bone structure hadn't increased much; even at 50 points, they would only have 2450 potential points at Level 50. Even if they added a thousand points of Physique, plus some Silver Equipment, their HP would only be twenty to thirty thousand.

Not all Low Martial Race Groups, like the Huaxia Clan, could reach the Mid Martial level of over a hundred points just a few months after the Star Abyss descended.

Just now, when Huang Chen deliberately endured the opponent's petrification, he discovered that he could quickly dispel the petrified state simply by running the Elemental Power within his body to counteract it.

The time required for dispelling was related to the intensity of the elements within his body. In short, the speed of dispelling depended on the amount of potential points he possessed.

The more potential points, the faster the dispelling speed.

According to Huang Chen's estimation, based on the current bone structure potential of the Huaxia Clan members, it would take about 8 seconds to dispel the petrification.

For his Harem, the dispelling speed would be around 5 seconds.

As for himself, relying on the elements to spontaneously counter the effect would take two seconds, but if he actively circulated cultivation, it would only take one second.

After silently sending his estimations to Yang Nuo, Huang Chen focused on resting his mind with his eyes closed, contemplating a strategy for capturing the Soul Devouring Bees.

Although the Soul Devouring Bees were said to be invincible in their rapid advance, they were not truly invincible.

Any attack could inflict one point of damage on them.

According to his memories from the previous life, it took the Main God about half an hour to refine the Soul Devouring Bees.

Calculating based on four to eight attacks per second, the Soul Devouring Bees' HP should be between 7,500 and 15,000.

The problem now was how to clear out the Small Bees without being overwhelmed by their attacks, and only then could he slowly chip away at the Bee King.

Soon, another ten minutes passed, and Huang Chen, who had been teleported back to the arena, was still deep in thought.

This time, he didn't even bother to look at what his opponent looked like.

When the countdown ended, he immediately sent the opponent away with a Poison Sand Palm.

Returning to the Villa Conference Hall, Xie Chunyan happened to walk in as well.

"What's wrong?" Chunyan asked worriedly, seeing Huang Chen's troubled expression.

"I encountered a great opportunity..."

Huang Chen sighed and told Chunyan about the Soul Devouring Bees. He hadn't actually expected her to offer any good advice.

Unexpectedly, after listening, Xie Chunyan smiled brightly and said, "If you can't figure it out, why don't you go ask others?"

"Heh~"

Huang Chen shook his head self-deprecatingly and said, "In terms of knowledge alone, I don't believe any Trial Taker in the Star Abyss surpasses me right now."

He was a Reborn! Although he was at the very bottom in his previous life, hadn't he at least eaten pork even if he hadn't seen a pig run?

"Of course, I believe no Trial Taker has greater knowledge than you," Xie Chunyan laughed. "But what about the NPCs? Jin Wanliang? Judy? For clans that have lived in the Star Abyss for tens of millions or billions of years, can their knowledge really not surpass yours?"

Xie Chunyan's words were a sudden revelation to Huang Chen.

"Mwah!"

Huang Chen suddenly stood up and gave Xie Chunyan a loud kiss on the cheek!

The person involved is confused, the observer is clear!

He immediately opened his communicator and contacted Judy and Jin Wanliang separately.

[Huang Chen: Brother Zhu/Brother Jin, are you free to meet at Drunken Star Tower? Your little brother has a question he'd like to ask.]

After sending the message, Huang Chen added another sentence: [Regarding the Soul Devouring Bees... If either of you has relevant information, please let me know!]

There was silence on the other end of the communication for a moment, and then the two avatars began flashing.

[Jin Wanliang: Wait a moment, I'll check the clan records. I'll be there in thirty minutes.]

[Judy: Soul Devouring Bees? How did you get involved with that thing? The clan does have information on this. Brother Huang, please wait a moment.]

While waiting for the two of them, Huang Chen participated in three more rounds of the Selection Competition.

Facing these ordinary members of the Low Martial Race Group, Huang Chen didn't want to waste even half a second.

As soon as the countdown ended, he instantly teleported next to his opponent and took them down with a single strike.

Thirty minutes later, Judy and Jin Wanliang appeared simultaneously at the private room door.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Judy spoke first:

"Brother Huang, did you truly encounter the Soul Devouring Bees?"

He had only heard the name Soul Devouring Bees before and knew that such things were terrifying.

However, when his attendant placed the clan records concerning the Soul Devouring Bees in front of him, he was completely stunned.

This wasn't just a Soul Devouring Bee; it was practically a death warrant from the King of Hell.

Even a Main God, without a Containment Divine Artifact, would have to take a detour upon encountering this thing.

"Absolutely true." Huang Chen nodded solemnly, then briefly described how he discovered the Soul Devouring Bees.

After speaking, Huang Chen looked seriously at the two and said, "I wonder if your respective clans have any methods regarding whether the Soul Devouring Bees can be captured."

Judy and Jin Wanliang hadn't reacted much when they heard Huang Chen discovered the Soul Devouring Bees, but when they heard that the Bee King Cub had left its lair, the two involuntarily exchanged glances, seeing traces of shock in each other's eyes.

After a short while, Jin Wanliang let out a breath, looked at Huang Chen, and smiled wryly, "It seems Brother Huang truly is the Child of Fortune of this trial session!"

Huang Chen was utterly confused by Jin Wanliang's riddle and asked, "Brother Jin, what do you mean by that?"

Jin Wanliang did not answer Huang Chen directly but looked at Judy and said, "I presume Prince Yan also saw the clan's method for capturing the Soul-Devouring Bee King?"

Judy nodded and said, "That's right!"

"Then how about Brother Zhu answers Brother Huang's confusion?" Jin Wanliang slowly sat down, stroking his round belly.

"Excellent!" Judy nodded gratefully towards Jin Wanliang.

Old Jin was directly handing him the opportunity to gain Huang Chen's favor.

Huang Chen was basically the universally acknowledged number one person in the Star Abyss right now. If Judy could bind himself to Huang Chen now, the help this would provide him in seizing great power later would be incomparable.

After slowly taking his seat, Judy looked solemnly at Huang Chen and said, "There is naturally a method for capturing the Bee King Cub... but throughout the Star Abyss's billions of years, the number of people who met the capture requirements and had the opportunity to capture it can be counted on one hand."

"Brother Zhu, please enlighten me!"

Huang Chen's excitement was hard to conceal.

Although Judy ultimately emphasized the difficulty of capturing the Soul-Devouring Bee King, looking at their conversation, it was clear that the implication of their words pointed to one answer: Huang Chen had a chance to capture the Soul-Devouring Bee King.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Huang Chen's eager appearance, the two couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After laughing, Jin Wanliang turned directly and shouted loudly toward the door, "Waiter! Serve the dishes! Bring me the most expensive food and the most expensive wine you have here!"

"Today, Prince Yan and I are going to feast lavishly!!"
