Chapter 554: The humanoid creature in the hive!
At this time,
on Blue Star,
in the Eagle Nation's main city, New York,
a building hundreds of meters high stood in the center of the main city.
At night,
the sound of rotating propellers echoed through the night sky.
Several military helicopters circled the building,
their cruise lights shining in cycles.
When the lights fell on the roof,
one could easily see
a terrifying giant hive perched there.
The footage captured by the cameras was broadcast in real-time to all parts of the world.
Perhaps the Federation didn't have a certain chance of victory,
so the footage was only broadcast to high-level officials.
Leaders of various countries, as well as top professionals who had a moment of respite on the battlefield,
were all watching this no-retreat raid!
The [Brain-Eating Hive] original dungeon
made everyone aware of the horror of the Brain-Eating Bee clan.
Several unconquered dungeons
and the opened outer-realm battlefields
had buried the lives of countless professionals.
Each Flying General-level Brain-Eating Bee required several Seventh-Turn professionals to barely cope with.
However,
there were no fewer Flying General Brain-Eating Bees than Seventh-Turn professionals!
The fall of the battlefield was only a matter of time.
The Magic Insect race and the Titan race joined forces to attack.
If it weren't for the Dragon Nation's Ice Emperor, who held back several Seventh-Turn monsters, including the Titan Emperor,
the human Seventh-Turn professionals currently available
wouldn't even be enough to deal with these two major demon races!
How could they talk about dealing with this newly opened outer-realm battlefield?
And the ten top Seventh-Turn professionals sent to raid the rooftop hive this time
were all gathered from various battlefields,
making a desperate, all-or-nothing raid!
The large-scale withdrawal of high-level combat power from the battlefield
meant those Scout Brain-Eating Bees and those monsters from the Abyss
had almost turned the battlefield into a slaughterhouse for professionals!
It could be said
that every second of the hive raid
was bought with the lives of professionals!
If left unchecked,
the Eagle Nation would inevitably fall,
and the resulting chain reaction was something no country on Blue Star could accept!
It had to succeed; failure was not an option!
A raid with no way back!
On the top floor of the building,
ten top professionals from all over the world gathered.
Everyone's face was filled with gravity.
One floor up was the hive;
they could even hear the dense 'buzzing' of the bees.
"I'll go up and check the situation first," said the only assassin-class professional in the team,
who was also one of the two women in the team.
With azure pupils and a tall figure, she was a standard Western beauty.
She wore dark leather armor—ancient and dull, without dazzling luster, but with smooth lines and faint textures on the leather.
It was at least a Dark Gold or higher set of equipment!
Its value was extremely high.
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and had no objections.
Nie Huangzhong and the other female professional both raised their staves.
Several buff skills were applied to Karina.
Buff skills of the same series conflicted with each other,
so only the highest buff value could take effect.
Nie Huangzhong was better at healing;
among the several buff skills, only one took effect,
while the others were selected from the other support professional's skills.
Karina's aura suddenly rose by a notch,
and she slowly disappeared before everyone's eyes.
"Remember, don't communicate with me casually. When it's safe to speak, I will give a signal."
As her voice fell, Karina's aura completely vanished, as if she didn't exist.
"High-level assassins are truly unsolvable."
"If she launched a sneak attack in this state, us squishy ones probably couldn't resist."
Someone explained: "Karina has the highest known stealth level, and her domain has a boost effect on stealth. Looking globally, perhaps only those few professionals in the Ruins of the Gods could see through her stealth."
"Wait for it; these bugs can't possibly see through Karina's stealth."
That person looked at Nie Huangzhong and Zuo Zuo Xuance and said,
"To use your Dragon Nation's words, 'know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.'"
"Once Karina gathers the intelligence, we'll launch the total attack!"
"Waste of time," Zuo Zuo Xuance, wearing heavy armor and holding a long spear, said coldly.
"As far as I know, this hive was developed from a 'seed' that the Hunting King brought back unintentionally, right?"
"In just a few days, how many Brain-Eating Bees do you think the Queen can breed?"
"Don't forget that team of Seventh-Turn professionals from a few days ago!" That was true, but the person was dissatisfied with Zuo Zuo Xuance's attitude.
Zuo Zuo Xuance snorted coldly, "A bunch of trash, just contributing energy to the Queen for nothing."
Nie Huangzhong pulled Zuo Zuo Xuance. "I suspect that to make a team of Seventh-Turn professionals unable to even escape, there must be at least three Flying General-level or higher."
"Three level-100 True Names aren't that easy to deal with, plus there are so many ordinary Brain-Eating Bees and Scout-level ones."
"In any case, handle it carefully."
On the other side,
Karina walked from the stairs to the top-floor terrace.
The surroundings were wrapped in the hive, and she couldn't see the outside.
Six ordinary Brain-Eating Bees were flying at low altitude here.
"Puchi!"
"Puchi!"
"Puchi!"
Three blade lights flashed.
[- (Fatal Strike!)]
[- (Weakness Attack/Fatal Strike!)]
The six Brain-Eating Bees turned into countless pieces of meat, falling to the ground, blood slowly overflowing.
Throughout the whole process,
only the sound of the meat hitting the ground was the loudest.
The Brain-Eating Bees didn't even let out a scream before they all perished.

Karina didn't linger and rushed into the passage.
A foul stench hit her face.
Karina covered her mouth and nose and walked quickly through the passage.
She had watched the video of the Dragon Nation people raiding the [Brain-Eating Hive],
and in this hive,
the density of ordinary Brain-Eating Bees was far lower than in the dungeon.
"As expected, it's a newly born hive."
"The number of Flying Generals should be extremely low."
Karina breathed a sigh of relief; the situation wasn't as bad as she had imagined.
"That's a Scout-level!"
"Level 110 Lord monster; its attributes are very high, almost comparable to a General-level Titan monster."
Karina watched this Brain-Eating Bee with fangs from the shadows.
After a few breaths,
Karina gave up the idea of attacking.
She could kill it instantly,
but she couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't make a sound before she killed it.
Karina continued forward,
passing through layers of passages, gradually going deeper into the hive.
"Seven scouts, no Flying General-level seen."
Just then,
Karina's steps stopped abruptly.
A terrifying aura was rushing toward her current position at extreme speed.
In an instant,
cold sweat soaked her back.
Karina stood frozen in place.
"Coincidence?"
"Or has it already discovered me?"
"Whoosh!"
A strong wind blew past,
leaving Karina's long hair in a mess.
The aura from just a moment ago was still hundreds of meters away; in a hive full of bends, it would have to travel at least several thousand meters.
Yet, in the very next second,
that aura brushed past Karina.
