Chapter 362: The Golden Eagle Bee Interception Zone

Within the mountain forest, figures flashed out one after another, their speed like the wind, whipping up fallen leaves across the ground.

Boiling Resonance Power was active throughout this towering Golden Dragon Peak; seen from afar, it looked like tiny specks of light upon the body of a giant beast.

Li Luo and his two companions dashed through the forest, none of them speaking, merely circulating their Resonance Power to move at full speed. Although their Resonance Power levels were among the lowest here, their Resonance grades held some advantages: Qin Zhulu was at the Upper Eighth Grade, Lu Qinger was at the Lower Eighth Grade, and Li Luo possessed dual Resonances. Thus, if they were to clash head-on, their strength could reach the upper-middle tier among the many teams. If one added the three newly acquired Golden-Line White-Eye treasures, they surely had the capital to fight any team they encountered.

"We have about ten minutes left before we enter the 'Golden Eagle Bee' interception zone!" Lu Qinger's voice suddenly came through.

Li Luo and Qin Zhulu's gazes sharpened. They looked up toward the high reaches of the mountain forest and indeed saw a golden cloud belt appearing there. The cloud belt seemed to be drifting, but if one looked closely, one would discover it consisted of countless golden birds and beasts.

Li Luo raised his hand, signaling the team to prepare for a forced breakthrough.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

As they drew closer, countless chirping sounds converged into a roar like thunder. Li Luo could clearly see those "Golden Eagle Bees"; they were entirely golden, with thin, long, and exceptionally sharp mouthparts. The sheer density of their numbers made one's scalp tingle.

"Prepare for impact!"

Li Luo shouted, and Qin Zhulu stepped forward. He let out a low growl, directly activating his Metal-Devouring Demon Tiger Resonance. His body expanded several times over, golden tiger stripes emerged on his skin, and his muscles bulged, creating a powerful visual impact.

Li Luo and Lu Qinger stayed behind him, the three maintaining their formation as they charged into the interception zone formed by the "Golden Eagle Bees."

The moment they charged in, countless "Golden Eagle Bees" shrieked as they swarmed, their sharp mouthparts stabbing fiercely toward Qin Zhulu.

Qin Zhulu held his heavy black spear, sweeping it in an arc that smashed swaths of Golden Eagle Bees into pulp. Li Luo and Lu Qinger also assisted, clearing away the bees that approached.

However, the number of Golden Eagle Bees was too great, and as the target, Qin Zhulu naturally attracted the heaviest fire. Consequently, Golden Eagle Bees constantly pierced through their defense, their sharp mouthparts stabbing directly into Qin Zhulu's skin.

After piercing into Qin Zhulu's body, these Golden Eagle Bees would die in their struggle, but their sharp mouthparts remained stuck in Qin Zhulu's body like thin, long needles.

In just a short moment, Qin Zhulu's body was covered in sharp mouthparts.

His face was slightly twisted; although these mouthparts did not cause severe injury, they were truly... painful.

Qin Zhulu let out a low growl, his Resonance Power surging, and the mouthparts on his body were instantly ejected, leaving behind bloody marks from which blood flowed.

"Qinger, stop the bleeding!" Li Luo immediately shouted.

Lu Qinger slapped a palm onto Qin Zhulu, her icy Resonance Power flowing out and turning into a faint frost that covered all the wounds.

Li Luo also circulated the healing power contained within his own Resonance Power, pouring it into Qin Zhulu's body to rapidly recover those injuries.

Feeling his injuries healing, Qin Zhulu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. These two support members were quite reliable; with their assistance, he could handle the front much more easily.

He swung his heavy spear again, his figure charging forward like a savage beast, smashing through countless Golden Eagle Bees as he headed directly toward the peak.

As Li Luo followed behind, his gaze constantly scanned the surroundings. At this moment, other teams had also broken into this area, and the sounds of wailing and crying were incessant; it seemed they were all being tormented quite badly by these Golden Eagle Bees.

However, his eyes were mostly fixed on the distance ahead.

There, a figure bathed in blood-red light was rapidly weaving through the Golden Eagle Bees. This Lin Suo seemed to have practiced some kind of Resonance Art that allowed his figure to become ethereal, so the attacks from the Golden Eagle Bees were largely immune to him, allowing him to pull far into the lead.

Moreover, Li Luo could feel that Lin Suo's speed was gradually increasing. He was clearly trying to leave everyone else far behind so that when he reached the peak, he could trigger the energy barrier, at which point everyone else would be isolated below the peak.

He would then be able to safely and smoothly obtain the Golden Dragon Mountain-Visiting Token.

Li Luo frowned; Lin Suo's speed in passing through the Golden Eagle Bee belt was even faster than he had imagined.

The strength of the Third Transformation of the Resonance-Forming Stage truly held an absolute advantage here.

As time passed, the three of them continued to advance, and the mouthpart needles on Qin Zhulu's body were pulled out batch after batch.

The sounds of wailing and crying around them had also weakened significantly, as many people could not hold on and were directly beaten back.

Li Luo no longer paid attention to the other teams because he discovered that Lin Suo's speed was becoming increasingly fierce. If this continued, the distance between them would be greatly widened, and if Lin Suo activated the energy barrier, they might be blocked.

Thus, after a few seconds of deliberation, Li Luo decisively shouted: "Qin Zhulu, armor up!"

At this point, hiding was no longer an option.

Hearing this, Qin Zhulu's spirit lifted. He quickly took out the Black Obsidian Battle Armor from his space ball and slapped it onto his body. The armor wrapped around him as if it had a spirit, fitting perfectly.

Dark light bloomed, and Qin Zhulu directly transformed into an iron tower.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

As the Golden Eagle Bees stabbed again, they were completely blocked by the Black Obsidian Battle Armor. Ripples of energy appeared on the surface of the armor; although the energy within it was being consumed, it could no longer harm Qin Zhulu.

Qin Zhulu let out a roar, his speed surging.

The three of them dashed out, chasing the blood-red figure far ahead.

Their sudden acceleration caused quite a stir, which also caught the attention of Lin Suo ahead. He tilted his head to look, his brow furrowing: "Truly persistent."

He had not expected that Li Luo and his companions would actually dare to chase after him.

"Did you obtain a battle armor treasure in the Treasure Pool? The grade is not low." Lin Suo glanced at the black armor on Qin Zhulu; it was precisely because of this armor that they were able to withstand the interception of the Golden Eagle Bees.

"Fine, let me show you the gap between us."

Lin Suo sneered. The next instant, the blood-red light on his body flared, and his speed suddenly increased to the limit. At this speed, just a few minutes later, he broke through the Golden Eagle Bee interception zone.

As Lin Suo broke through the interception zone, energy fluctuations suddenly bloomed in the sky above the peak. One could see energy gathering in mid-air, forming a light curtain that slowly descended.

The area where the light curtain fell was exactly outside the Golden Eagle Bee interception zone.

Li Luo and his companions also noticed this scene and hurriedly charged at full speed.

Gradually, they were not far from breaking out of the interception zone.

Lin Suo looked at the charging speed of Li Luo and his companions and was slightly surprised. Then, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He slowly raised his finger, and blood-red Resonance Power condensed at his fingertip.

"Blood Bone Finger!"

Pfft!

The flesh at his fingertip split open, and a finger bone shot out violently. Its speed was astonishing, like a cannonball, tearing the very air apart.

The direction of his attack was Qin Zhulu's feet.

He had also realized that Li Luo and his companions' progress relied on Qin Zhulu resisting at the front. As long as Qin Zhulu was knocked down, Li Luo and the others would fall into the ocean of Golden Eagle Bees.

Qin Zhulu also saw the blood-red light shooting toward him, but at this moment, he was entangled by numerous Golden Eagle Bees and had no power to intercept Lin Suo's sneak attack.

Moreover, given Lin Suo's strength, even if he tried to take it head-on, he might not be able to withstand it.

"Ignore it, keep charging!"

Li Luo's low voice came from behind.

Hearing this, Qin Zhulu's eyes flickered, then he gritted his teeth and, ignoring everything else, charged forward violently.

The blood-red light sped toward them.

Just as it was about to reach their position, a sound of a bowstring vibrating suddenly rang out, and faintly, it sounded like a falcon screeching.

An exceptionally bright white light arrow shot out from behind Qin Zhulu, piercing through the air and colliding with the white bone finger.

Boom!

The Resonance Power shockwave swept out, shredding the nearby Golden Eagle Bees into blood mist.

However, upon their collision, the power of the white bone finger ultimately proved superior; a moment later, it shattered the light arrow.

But at this very instant, another white light arrow shot out with precision, one after another, colliding heavily against the white bone finger until it was finally shattered.

"Prepare to get out!"

Qin Zhulu let out a low roar at this moment, and his Resonance Power erupted violently. He charged out like a giant beast, tearing through the final layer of the Golden Eagle Bee belt, and the area ahead suddenly became empty.

Li Luo and Lu Qinger followed his figure and also broke out of the interception zone.

The dense swarm of Golden Eagle Bees remained behind them, but they did not pursue any further.

At this moment, in mid-air, the energy barrier slowly descended behind Li Luo and his companions.

And in front of them.

Stood the smiling Lin Suo.
