Chapter 678: Totem Pillar
“Not right! Didn’t Ms. Hua say that the queen bee should be in a weakened state and its cultivation will plummet to the intermediate stage after it had laid eggs in the past few days? Why does it seem like it is at the perfect stage now? I think this mission isn’t safe now, and we need to plan again.” The man with a bull mask said in horror and anger.
“I don’t know what’s going on either. Could it be that the queen did not lay eggs or it happened to mutate when laying eggs?” Hua Qingying also sounded hesitating. She sounded full of doubt and horror as well.
This time, Wu Kui just snorted, but he didn’t say anything.
Liu Ming stared into the distance with his eyes slightly squinted; he didn’t blink his eyes at all.
Because at this moment, the terrifying queen bee had made a move.
The queen bee’s huge body just blinked, then it appeared behind the Pseudo Pellet State Beastkin cultivator and stabbed his head with its stinger.
As this person tried to make a gesture with both hands, his hands dropped weakly. His body quickly shrank into a dry corpse.
A Pseudo Pellet State powerhouse was instantly killed without being able to fight back; his blood was even drained.
Liu Ming couldn’t help taking a breath.
This queen bee is actually so powerful. Although the Pseudo Pellet State and the Real Pellet State perfect stage have a big difference, it is still astounding that the cultivator is killed in a moment.
Seeing this scene, Wu Kui’s face also twitched slightly.
“No, hurry up!”
The beastkin cultivator with brown feathers immediately roared in anger seeing this. At the same time, he launched a burst of spikes.
Then he quickly turned around and escaped toward a mountain. He had appeared a thousand meters more away in just a few moments.
And another beastkin cultivator with long ears. He released a white mist from his sleeve and flew into another direction in a yellow light.
The five light queen bee shrieked. The purple spirit patterns on its body flickered, and it vanished into thin air, dodging all the spikes.
The next moment, the queen bee’s huge body appeared in front of the beastkin cultivator with long ears. He had no choice but to stop. Behind him, 2 rays of light were launched with a spatial fluctuation.
It was 2 Real Pellet State bees.
Because the distance was a little far away, Liu Ming couldn’t see too clearly the fighting situation there. He only felt waves of violent spiritual power fluctuations, and he could see lights of various colors rose into the sky.
The beastkin cultivator with long ears transformed into a gray giant rat, desperately resisting the attacks of 3 bees.
“If the 2 escape together, they absolutely can’t survive. It seems that only 1 can survive. It’s a pity that this beastkin cultivator with long ears who is the strongest among the 3 will have to die here. “The brawny man nearby suddenly said softly.
“Mr. Wu, do you think with the 6 of us and the assistance of this sandalwood soul incense, can we take this queen bee down?” The masked woman’s eyes flashed a few times, then she suddenly asked.
“Even with the assistance of the sandalwood soul incense, it will take a while to kill this queen bee at the perfect stage. What’s more, there are 2 Real Pellet State bees with the queen bee. If we fight head on, it’s hard to say whether who will win.” Wu Kui glanced at Liu Ming and other people and said faintly. His original arrogant demeanor was gone.
While they were talking, a heart-wrecking scream came from the giant rat transformed by the long ears cultivators.
“Go to hell!”
Then, dense gray lights burst out of his body!
Immediately afterward, a loud explosion resounded across the sky. The 3 bees were instantly overwhelmed by a dazzling giant gray light ball.
This Real Pellet State giant rat beastkin cultivator actually chose to blew up his Real Pellet!
As the earth trembled violently in the distance, the small mountain peak nearby was also blown off.
Suddenly, under the flying sand and rocks, it was impossible to see the specific situation clearly.
“Unexpectedly, this beastkin cultivator is quite bold. At such a close distance, if he can hurt the queen bee, it would do us a great favor.” Seeing this, the woman wearing a cloak murmured with a hint of surprise.
Liu Ming squinted and stared at the explosion spot at the foot of the mountain with a thoughtful and uncertain look.
“You think too much. Even though the power of exploding Real Pellet is huge, the aura of the queen bee didn’t change at all. It should have dodged the explosion. Instead, a bee seems to be injured heavily; its aura seems to be weakened by a lot.” Wu Kui glanced at the woman in a cloak and snorted softly.
At this moment, a purple shadow flashed out of the gray light ball in the distance. It was the unharmed five light queen bee. It stayed at the entrance of the cave for a while and looked around, then it devoured all the flesh and blood before making a delighted scream and returning into the hive.
When everyone saw this, they were all horrified.
At this time, the gray light ball caused by the Real Pellet’s explosion slowly faded, revealing the figure of 2 of the worker bees. Both of them slowly flew toward the entrance of the cave.
One of them was missing half of its wings, and there was also a huge black hole on its body. Some purple blood was oozing out from it.
After 2 Real Pellet State bees patrolled the entrance of the cave, they also flew in.
The other bee hovered in mid-air for a while, then it retracted its wing and dived down, disappearing from the sight of everyone.
Before long, when it flew up again, it carried a gray giant rat with no aura and flew toward the entrance.
“It seems that it should be the worker bee blocked the explosion for the queen bee.” Hua Qingying retracted his gaze, appeared from the nearby cloud, and said with a sigh.
“Since the queen bee is unharmed, it seems that I need to make a new plan.” The man in a green robe also said in a deep voice.
Liu Ming and others also appeared nearby. Although they didn’t speak, they all looked odd on their faces.
At this moment, Hua Qingying suddenly turned her head and looked at Wu Kui on the side.
“Ms. Hua, you are the organizer of this operation. Why are you looking me?” Wu Kui spread his hands and said disapprovingly.
“Mr. Wu, if you have any way to deal with this queen bee, you might as well say it. Your savage tribe has various totem mystic arts. I have heard of some powerful totem previously. No big deal, I will give you more benefit after it’s done.” Hua Qingying said with a smile suddenly.
“Hehe, since Ms. Hua said so, I won’t hide anymore. I indeed have a way, but I still need help from this fellow friend.” Wu Kui touched his chin, looked at the brawny man, and said with an odd expression.
“Is Mr. Wu talking about the…” The brawny man said with a move of his expression.
“Yes, it is the totem pillar. You are also from the savage tribe, so I won’t explain much. My totem pillar has a way to greatly restrict the opponent. If it’s used with the sandalwood soul incense, it should be no problem to deal with the queen bee. I will personally entangle the queen bee by then, and you will channel the pillar.” Wu Kui said slowly to the brawny man.
“Since Mr. Wu is so confident, I will channel the pillar.” The brawny man only hesitated for a moment, then he nodded.
Liu Ming and others of course had no opinion.
“Since you all agree to it, we should set up the totem pillar and array right now. Then, we will start the operation immediately.” Wu Kui said without thinking.
So after everyone looked at each other, they flew into the forest below.
After a dozen minutes, everyone landed on an empty grassland.
“Let’s choose here. It has some distance away from the hive. It shouldn’t disturb other bees during the fight,” The masked woman said after looking around.
Wu Kui nodded. He flicked his sleeve and launched a green pillar with the size of the index finger. The pillar slowly spun in the air.
Then, Wu Kui launched a few symbols at it. After the green pillar shined a few times, it enlarged and landed heavily on the grassland.
Liu Ming’s expression moved, looking carefully at this huge pillar.
The pillar was engraved with layers of green spirit patterns, and a lifelike beastkin tiger pattern was at the top of the pillar.
As Wu Kui kept launching symbols, circles of light green ripples spread to the surrounding with the totem pillar as the center. The radius of 100 meters around became green in color.
Liu Ming scanned with Divine Thought, and he immediately felt a looming enchantment force from it.
“This totem pillar is really amazing.” The masked woman said with a chuckle.
Wu Kui did not speak. He took out a set of 8 yellow formation flags from his sleeve and threw it into the air.
“Split!”
In the air, after a burst of yellow light, the 8 formation flags flew away in 8 directions. They were evenly distributed around the totem pillar, forming an array of about an acre in size.
After doing all this, Wu Kui took out a yellow disk array and launched a few symbols into it.
With the buzzing sound of the disk array, a cloud of yellow mist emerged from the surrounding yellow formation flags and diffused throughout the entire array space.
TL: The problem is how are they going to lure the queen bee out without taking some heat🤔?
