Chapter 556: Attacked! Two Seventh-Turn professionals killed instantly!

~6 min read 1,049 words

In a normal encounter,

even if they were outmatched,

they would sustain injuries during the battle, and their vital signs would drop in chunks,

not drop steadily like this.

Once this was said,

everyone realized

it was the figure beside Karina, hiding in the shadows of the hive's ruins.

Lin Lao couldn't help but mutter to himself.

It didn't look like a Scout or a Flying General.

A Queen Bee?

The king of the insect race shouldn't come out to hunt very often, right?

The hive had a giant hole blasted into it,

and the combat power of the nine Seventh-Turn professionals was clearly transmitted to the screen.

Everyone's emotions gradually relaxed.

"Too strong! Is this the Brain-Eating Bee that's been talked about so much on the battlefield? They don't even have the qualifications to hurt these seniors!"

"Are you kidding! These are the top professionals in the world!"

"After all, this hive was built by those Brain-Eating Bees in just a few days. Is it a bit of an overreaction to mobilize so many top professionals?"

"You can't say that; didn't those Seventh-Turn professionals fall earlier?"

"And this is our Eagle Nation's main city. If monsters dare to come and build a nest, if we can't destroy them with thunderous momentum, wouldn't we be a laughingstock to those bumpkins outside?"

"Who is that senior? Killing a Scout-level Brain-Eating Bee in one move?"

"The Dragon Nation's 'Breaker of Armies' is actually just like that."

Hearing that it was a Dragon Nation professional, the staff member curled his lips. "Indeed, any of these nine could do it."

"It seems this hive really isn't much!"

Listening to these people's discussion, Lin Lao almost couldn't help but curse.

There was still a life hanging by a thread up there, and they were this optimistic?

If they were Dragon Nation staff, he would have started spraying them long ago.

Lin Lao frowned, there was one point he hadn't figured out.

Why wasn't Karina dead yet?

It wasn't that he hoped the Eagle Nation's powerhouse would die,

but it was just too abnormal!

Even if it wanted to eat, it could kill her first and then eat, right?

And,

even if the Queen Bee really came out to hunt,

shouldn't there be a few powerful Brain-Eating Bees guarding her side?

Back in the original dungeon,

when Li Yao encountered the Queen Bee,

there were two Flying General-level Brain-Eating Bees beside her!

Karina didn't have any other Brain-Eating Bees beside her.

What exactly was that figure?

At this moment,

on the screen, Karina's cheeks had begun to visibly shrivel.

If one looked closely,

one could see a cold-glinting needle inserted straight into the back of Karina's head.

Lin Lao couldn't figure it out no matter what.

Did Karina have some life-saving item?

Why was she still alive?

Wait!

Life-saving!?

Lin Lao leaned toward the screen.

The needle was in the back of Karina's head,

and her body was visibly shriveling.

If it was feeding,

how could the flesh of her body be decreasing before the brain was sucked dry by the needle inserted into it?

If Karina's brain was gone,

how could she still be alive!?

Life-saving!

This unknown creature was keeping Karina alive!

"Make them stop!" Lin Lao shouted suddenly.

There was only one reason it was doing this:

just like the countless humans hanging outside the hive,

it was fishing!

Hearing Lin Lao's roar, everyone turned back.

However,

the nine professionals had powerful combat strength, and the ordinary Brain-Eating Bees couldn't stop them at all.

They had already reached Karina's floor.

Pinoride turned to look at Lin Lao, just about to ask,

"Puchi!"

Everyone was stunned by Lin Lao's voice.

The sound of a blade piercing flesh was extremely harsh.

"Too late."

Everyone looked at the screen.

The nine professionals were all frozen in place,

their pupils shrinking to pinpricks.

Suddenly,

a head soared into the sky.

"Zzz!"

Blood sprayed out like a fountain,

dyeing Zuo Zuo Xuance's entire face red.

"Thump, thump."

The head landed on the ground, making a sound like a beating heart.

"What's the situation!" Pinoride asked coldly.

"The humanoid monster can't be seen clearly," a Knight professional said halfway.

On the screen, a black shadow flashed by.

"Puchi!"

Another head flew into the sky.

The next second,

along with the head on the ground,

both heads disappeared without a trace.

With this kind of speed,

no professional inside or outside the field could see its movements.

"Bastards! Idiots! Professionals are fighting monsters! Do you have to interfere like this?" Lin Lao was so angry at Pinoride that he slammed the table.

Pinoride was stunned for a moment.

Since they had already interfered, Lin Lao could only take command,

telling them the information he had guessed.

"Stay alert! That guy can only sneak attack; it doesn't have the combat power to kill you head-on!"

That was precisely why it had to keep Karina alive,

waiting until the professionals appeared on this floor

to suddenly rise and kill.

"Its specific combat power is stronger than a Flying General-level Brain-Eating Bee, but not by much!"

"The key is its intelligence; it doesn't look like a bug at all!"

"Nie Huangzhong, tell me, how much damage did it just cause?"

Even though Nie Huangzhong was protected in the center by the professionals, he was still observing his surroundings with extreme caution:

"Thirteen million, but because it was a Fatal Strike, it's hard to judge its strength attribute."

"And I can't capture its figure, so I can't use Appraisal!"

"Good, I understand." Lin Lao's brain raced. "Listen to me, continue to advance, but don't let your guard down for a single moment."

"Don't question me." Just as a professional wanted to speak, Lin Lao interrupted him. "Don't be scared by it."

"If it could kill you, it wouldn't have set a trap here, and it certainly wouldn't have left at this moment."

"Its advantage is speed; as long as you stick together, you have a chance to kill it!"

"I suspect it must be returning to the Queen Bee's location with those two heads now."

"Now, your task is to find it and kill it and the Queen Bee!"

"Pinoride, have your people slow down the recording and calculate that guy's Agility attribute!"
