Chapter 559

The surroundings were dim.

Apart from this eerie Brain-Eating Bee, no other monsters were in sight.

But everyone dared not relax.

That humanoid creature from earlier must be hiding nearby.

"Gurgle, gurgle."

The churning sound was particularly piercing in the quiet environment.

The Bee Queen's abdomen was expanding and contracting rapidly.

It was as if something was struggling desperately to break free from its restraints.

"Attack!"

In an instant,

several terrifyingly powerful skills were unleashed.

"Boom!"

The entire hive shook violently.

With Seventh-Turn professionals going all out, the power of the explosion was imaginable.

The hive above was completely blown away by the explosion.

Large amounts of rubble and steel bars crashed into the distant transparent array, causing frequent ripples.

The entire scene was filled with black smoke.

"Did we succeed?"

"Don't be happy too soon. Even if the Bee Queen is dead, that humanoid creature is still there!"

Everyone remained vigilant, weapons in hand, cautiously guarding against the dark areas around them.

As the dust settled,

a dense 'buzzing' sound echoed in everyone's ears.

The black smoke gradually dissipated.

Pairs of scarlet eyes were reflected in the black smoke.

"What?!" Everyone was shocked.

Before they could even investigate what these eyes belonged to,

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

Footsteps.

It was the humanoid creature!!

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

that pale, bloodless human face.

The Yin Beast had appeared right behind them!

When a hunter skilled in ambushes voluntarily reveals its position,

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

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

"Besides the Yin and Yang Under the King, the Brain-Eating Bees have one other most troublesome point."

The Abyss,

the Lost Continent.

The Green Mushroom Sea Turtle said this.

"It's that beside the Bee Queen, there are always several guards protecting their Queen at any time; this has never changed."

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

"Each of those guards is extremely powerful. Oh, right, they must be the Flying Generals you mentioned, Li Yao?"

Li Yao nodded. Back in the [Brain-Eating Beehive] dungeon,

the frail Bee Queen had two Flying Generals guarding her side.

If it was like that in a dungeon, it would only be worse in reality.

"It seems you've already clashed with them?" The Green 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 wouldn't dare to easily step into the waters of that place.

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

Brain-Eating Bees

seemed like no big deal.

"Not exactly a clash, but a clash is coming soon."

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

but he didn't think so.

The unspeakable entity was indeed powerful.

If Dandelion appeared inside the hive,

there was no need to think—

those bug corpses on the seabed would be the fate of the Brain-Eating Bee colony.

For him, however, it wasn't like that.

Killing Dandelion,

he had actually used a trick.

The [Chess Player] talent provided error tolerance.

Without [Chess Player],

in just twenty seconds of fighting,

he had been killed by Dandelion twice.

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

As long as you discovered the opponent's weakness, it was easy to kill.

Just like the final description of [White Cut]:

'A hunter wandering in the Abyss, perhaps your nemesis is coming.'

With his death-immunity talent,

he was the greatest nemesis of these [Hunters]!

But the Brain-Eating Bee colony he had to deal with next was different.

They had real, solid HP.

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

"A clash is coming soon?" The Green Mushroom Sea Turtle was silent for a while, somewhat puzzled. "Can't you just avoid them?"

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

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

"They... no, it's not just the Brain-Eating Bees."

"As long as it's the Insect Race, they all have a common flaw."

"Their kings change dynasties very quickly."

"Bee Queen?" Li Yao recalled the [Abyss Illustrated Handbook]'s description of 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 what the sea turtle meant by changing dynasties?

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

"Every time a Brain-Eating Bee is born, the energy inside the Bee Queen is consumed, from being the strongest in the colony at the start to becoming the weakest that needs protection."

"Energy is consumed too quickly, leading to their extremely short lifespan."

"Usually only four to six years."

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

"The rest of the Bee Queen's life is spent biding 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 described.

The fact that the old Bee Queen was brought back to Blue Star by Polona also confirmed this guess.

"The method you mentioned is to prevent the birth of the New King?"

"Hmm." The Green Mushroom Sea Turtle nodded its head.

"When the Bee Queen reaches the end of its lifespan, two types of creatures are born, which is what I call the Yin and Yang Under the King."

"Yin Beast and 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, making it convenient to hunt and collect food in the new territory."

"But the Yin Beast didn't receive the Bee Queen's source energy."

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

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