Chapter 1344

~5 min read 972 words

As the dust settled,

the dense 'buzzing' sound lingered in everyone's ears.

The black smoke gradually dissipated,

and pairs of scarlet eyes were reflected in the black smoke.

"What?!" Everyone was shocked.

Before they had time to investigate what the owners of these eyes were,

"Plop," footsteps came from behind, and everyone tightened their formation abruptly.

Footsteps—

it was the humanoid creature!!

The thin, gaunt figure, the waist and abdomen that could be gripped with one hand, and

that deathly pale, bloodless human face.

The Yin Beast had appeared behind them!

When a hunter skilled in ambushes actively exposes its figure,

it proves that its prey has already fallen into a net!

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

"Besides the Yin and Yang under the King, the Brain-Eating Bee has one more point that is the most difficult to deal with."

In the Abyss,

on the Lost Continent,

the Blue Mushroom Sea Turtle said this.

"That is, beside the Bee Queen, there are always several guards protecting their Bee Queen at any time; this has never changed."

"The strategy of 'capturing the king first to catch the thieves' simply doesn't work on those bugs!"

"Those guards are each extremely strong—oh, right, they should be what you call Flying Generals, Li Yao?"

Li Yao nodded. Back when he was in the 【Brain-Eating Beehive】 dungeon,

the frail Bee Queen had two Flying Generals guarding it.

Dungeons were like that; in reality, there would only be more.

"It seems you've already crossed hands with them?" The Blue Mushroom Sea Turtle couldn't help but click its tongue.

Those were Brain-Eating Bees!

The entire Bee Bay Strait was named after them.

Even it didn't dare to easily step into the waters of that place.

But thinking that this man could even defeat an indescribable entity,

Brain-Eating Bees...

seemed to be just that.

"Not exactly crossed hands, but we will soon."

Li Yao's expression was grave; he could guess what the Blue Mushroom Sea Turtle was thinking,

but he didn't think so.

Indescribable entities were indeed powerful.

If a Dandelion appeared inside the beehive,

there was no need to think—

the corpses of those bugs on the seabed would be the fate of the Brain-Eating Bee clan.

But for him, it wasn't like that.

In slaying the Dandelion,

he had actually taken a shortcut.

The 【Chess Player】 talent provided a margin for error.

If there were no 【Chess Player】,

in just twenty seconds of fighting,

he would have been killed by the Dandelion twice.

And this kind of creature seemed to have no limit like HP.

As long as one detected the opponent's weakness, it was very easy to kill.

Just like the final introduction of 【White Cut】:

'A hunter wandering in the Abyss; perhaps, your nemesis is about to arrive.'

Possessing the death-immunity talent, he

was the greatest nemesis of this group of 【Hunters】!

But the Brain-Eating Bee clan he needed to deal with next was different.

They possessed real HP.

To defeat them, one must possess combat power that completely overwhelms them!

"About to cross hands?" The Blue Mushroom Sea Turtle was silent for a while, somewhat confused. "Can't you just avoid them?"

Seeing that Li Yao didn't reply, the Blue Mushroom Sea Turtle continued:

"There is indeed one way to defeat Brain-Eating Bees."

"They... not just Brain-Eating Bees—"

"As long as it's the insect clan, they all have a common ailment."

"Their kings change dynasties very quickly."

"Bee Queen?" Li Yao recalled the 【Abyss Illustrated Handbook】's introduction to Brain-Eating Bees.

After discovering a new food source,

the older generation of Bee Queens would design a way to enter the food station to continue the race's development.

Was this the dynasty change the sea turtle was talking about?

"Yes, the Bee Queen's function is to breed offspring, and breeding isn't as simple as eating to give birth and continuing to eat after giving birth!"

"Every time a Brain-Eating Bee is born, the energy within the Bee Queen is consumed, from the strongest in the swarm at the beginning to the weakest that needs protection."

"Excessive energy consumption leads to their extremely short lifespan."

"Usually, it's only four to six years."

"The first two years are what is commonly known as the 'New King,' the strongest combat power of the swarm, and also the period when the Brain-Eating Bee clan is at its peak."

"The rest of the Bee Queen's lifespan is spent biding its time, searching for food, and preparing to give birth to a new king."

Hearing this, Li Yao fell into deep thought.

The dungeon was a projection of the Abyss reality.

In other words,

the Brain-Eating Bees currently invading Blue Star

should be in the late stage of their lifespan as the sea turtle said.

The fact that the older generation of Bee Queen was brought back to Blue Star by Polona also confirmed this speculation.

"The way you mentioned is to prevent the birth of a new king?"

"Hmm," the Blue Mushroom Sea Turtle nodded its head.

"When the Bee Queen reaches the end of its lifespan, two creatures will be born, which is what I called the Yin and Yang under the King."

"The Yin Beast and the Yang Beast."

"The Yin Beast is a super-strong Brain-Eating Bee born from the old Bee Queen hoarding energy in its original territory."

"Usually, it's extremely fast, convenient for hunting food and collecting food in the new station."

"But the Yin Beast did not obtain the Bee Queen's origin energy."

"It's strong, but it also has a limit."

"Probably..." The Blue Mushroom Sea Turtle thought for a while, because it hadn't seen the Yin Beast of a Brain-Eating Bee clan either, and could only speculate on its strength through rumors, "Probably at the limit of the True Name level, still a bit away from the Overlord level."
