81: Thunder-patterned bee mother hive

The group stored the scattered corpses, including the Mountain Ridge Giant Bear, into their Inner Worlds.

This time, they obtained a large number of spirit crystals, spirit seeds, and evolution fruits.

It's worth mentioning that the Mountain Ridge Giant Bear dropped a b-rank spirit seed.

Unfortunately, it had already been tainted with the aura of the Blazing Lion Adventurer Group; otherwise, Li Hongyang could have used it to advance his Rank.

Lin Xingyu took a look and found that this one would hatch into a soul seed, so it could only be sold.

After the battlefield was cleared, the group pursued the Thunder Patterned Bees in the direction they fled.

Along the way, they encountered many scattered Thunder Patterned Bees, all of which were easily dealt with.

The group continued their journey and eventually arrived before a massive valley.

The valley was filled with beehives, and countless Thunder Patterned Bees were flying in and out.

"It seems the main prize is here!"

"Don't destroy the beehives; there might be honey inside!"

"Let's start the killing!"

With excited faces, the group charged forward without hesitation, continuing to clear out the swarm.

They still used their previous tactic, the kiting strategy... As time passed, the number of bees gradually decreased.

"Buzz—"

Just then, a sharp buzzing sound suddenly came from not far away.

A giant Thunder Patterned Bee flew out from a beehive.

Its body was dozens of times larger than an ordinary Thunder Patterned Bee, and dazzling lightning flickered on its wings.

【Thunder Patterned Bee Queen】

【Rank: Second Rank Nine Star】

【Attribute: Controls lightning, extremely fast, attacks carry a paralyzing effect.】

The Thunder Patterned Bee Queen flapped its wings fiercely, and a bolt of lightning condensed, striking towards Li Hongyang.

Li Hongyang's figure flickered, dodging the attack.

"Old Ape, one Star Shatter!"

Lin Xingyu shouted, then he shifted his position and continued to hide.

The Thunder Patterned Bee Queen's Rank was not low; he wondered if it could drop an Advanced spirit seed?

Currently, Li Hongyang and the others needed to absorb spirit seeds to advance their Ranks, so they couldn't miss any opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Li Hongyang concentrated all his spiritual power into his wolf-tooth club and swung it out.

The wolf-tooth club, carrying terrifying power, directly shattered the Bee Queen.

Streaks of flowing light emerged from the Bee Queen's body, condensing into a smooth small ball in the air.

"C-Rank spirit seed..."

Lin Xingyu, hiding in the distance, was a little disappointed.

This thing was too low a Rank for Li Hongyang to absorb.

By this time, Li Hongyang had exhausted his spiritual power and returned to his Inner World to recover.

Wang Chiyao flashed out, continuing to attack the swarm... This battle lasted for a long time.

The group exhausted their spiritual power again and again, and recovered again and again.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally annihilated the entire swarm.

"Done!"

Lin Xingyu let out a long sigh of relief.

"I'm so tired!"

Wang Chiyao lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily.

nourishing spirit wine had been added to the spirit spring water.

Although it could restore physical strength, mental fatigue could not be eliminated.

She felt very, very tired now!

"It's finally over!"

Li Hongyang's voice was hoarse.

Unlike Wang Chiyao, who only needed to use the gatling gun, he had been shouting constantly.

Despite continuously using healing potions, he still needed some time to recover.

This job was simply inhumane; if he had a choice, he would rather wield a club.

"Haha, here I come, evolution fruit!"

Wang Ledian rushed over with an excited face, beginning to clear the battlefield.

He had it the easiest, only needing to cast "Curse of Misfortune."

Unlike the others, Wang Ledian was full of energy right now.

The group stayed put, not wanting to move at all.

The task of clearing the battlefield was left entirely to him.

He stored the scattered corpses into his Inner World, then began to scour the beehives.

Wang Ledian found many golden honeycombs in the beehives, emitting an alluring luster.

He took a piece and handed it to Lin Xingyu.

"Brother Yu, here's some honey!"

Lin Xingyu looked over upon hearing the sound, and an information panel popped up.

【Thunder Patterned Honey】

【Attribute: Contains lightning-attributed spiritual power; long-term consumption can increase lightning resistance and slowly improve Physique.】

【Note: Crispy and numbing texture, excellent taste.】

Lin Xingyu's eyes lit up, and he dipped a finger into some honey and put it into his mouth.

Immediately, a numbing sensation spread from the tip of his tongue throughout his body, as if countless tiny electric currents were flowing within him.

"So exhilarating!"

Lin Xingyu shivered.

This crispy, numbing sensation was too exhilarating.

He couldn't help but eat a few more bites.

"Let me try! Let me try!"

Seeing this, Wang Chiyao no longer cared about resting and immediately rushed over.

After a mouthful of honey, she started to "shiver" in place.

"So exhilarating! Delicious! I love it!"

She snatched the honey from Wang Ledian's hand and hugged it as she ate.

She was dancing with joy while eating, not knowing if it was because of the electricity... The group stored all the honey along with the beehives into their Inner Worlds, planning to take them back and enjoy them slowly.

They also found some Thunder Patterned Bee larvae in the beehives.

Lin Xingyu didn't let the others kill them; he wanted to see if he could raise them.

This honey made him unable to stop; it would be great if he could cultivate it artificially.

The battlefield was quickly cleared.

Lin Xingyu looked at the empty area before him and nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's go, let's look inside."

As the group ventured deeper into the valley, they successively discovered many more Thunder Patterned Bees and beehives.

The group pushed through, eventually reaching the depths of the valley.

A large number of Thunder Patterned Bee Queens appeared before them, surrounding three dark purple beehives.

The beehives were enormous, arranged in a triangular formation in the center of the valley.

【Thunder Patterned Bee Mother Nest】

【Rank: Second Rank Nine Star】

【Introduction: Special life form, possesses a thin Bloodline of the Insect Clan.】

"Insect Clan Bloodline?"

Seeing this information, Lin Xingyu was stunned.

He had seen information about the Insect Clan in the library.

They were a High Rank race in the Myriad Worlds, with a status no less than that of the Dragon Clan.

It's worth mentioning that only the Insect Mother Nest could be considered a true Insect Clan member.

Those overwhelming insect beasts were merely biochemical weapons created by the Mother Nest and did not belong to the Insect Clan.

It was similar to the battle Puppets of the Mechanical Clan.

The three Thunder Patterned Bee Mother Nests before them, due to possessing a thin Insect Clan Bloodline, were likely to drop Advanced spirit seeds.

Wang Ledian and the others just happened to need to absorb spirit seeds to advance their Ranks; this was truly a pillow delivered when one was sleepy.

Lin Xingyu informed the group about the Mother Nest and instructed:

"First, clear out the swarm, and be careful not to affect the Mother Nest!"

The group cautiously lured the swarm away, gradually clearing them... After dealing with the swarm, the group approached the Mother Nests.

The Mother Nests sensed danger, and their purple light intensified, as invisible waves of energy assaulted the group.

Lin Xingyu and the others' Soul defense equipment was activated, firmly resisting the mental attack.

"Quick! Take out the Mother Nests!"

"One for each of you, don't interfere with each other!"

Feeling the rapid consumption of spiritual power within him, Lin Xingyu shouted to the three.

Li Hongyang was the first to charge forward, unleashing "Star Shatter" at one of the Mother Nests.

"Bang—"

The wolf-tooth club, carrying terrifying energy, struck the Mother Nest, tearing it apart directly.

Streaks of light emerged from the Mother Nest's corpse, gradually condensing into a purple orb in the air.

【spirit seed】

【Rank: S】

【Note 1: After hatching, an S-Rank soul seed "Thunder Patterned Bee Mother Nest" can be obtained.】

【Note 2: Li Hongyang can absorb this spirit seed to complete his advancement.】

"S-Rank!"

Seeing the spirit seed's information, Lin Xingyu's face lit up with joy.

Now Li Hongyang could finally advance his Rank!
