Chapter 73: Bee King Formed (with illustration)

Lei Guang looked at Long Xuan with venomous eyes, not replying, and finally calmed down at this moment.

His situation was very bad. What lay before him was a crisis; he absolutely couldn't continue to entangle with Long Xuan. He had to break out at the fastest speed, otherwise, he might really die here today.

Carrying the fear of death, he ignored Long Xuan, lightning flashing crazily under his feet, regardless of everything, running wildly in a straight line in one direction.

What the Thunder Glow Gu was good at was straight-line speed. The wolf pack blocking his front was either knocked flying or bit him hard, tearing off a large piece of meat.

This was also the disadvantage of straight-line running. Charging head-on would directly hit the wolf pack's attacks, making it impossible to dodge, leaving him with many fatal wounds.

But now the situation was critical, and he couldn't care about that much anymore.

He could only ignore the wolf pack's attacks and charge in one direction, striving to break out of the encirclement at the fastest speed.

However, how could Long Xuan let him have his way? Whoever released their outer Gu first would be at a disadvantage. Lei Guang released his outer Gu first and suffered a loss. Now it was finally Long Xuan's turn to release his outer Gu; it was the best time for him to use this trump card.

While dodging attacks from all directions with ease, Long Xuan opened his insect breeding bag and pulled out Little White, who was parasitizing inside.

When he saw Little White's current appearance, his face turned black.

At this moment, Little White's tail was wrapped around a wine pot, drinking crazily as if it were drinking water. It was simply "drinking like a cow," and a full pot of good wine was ruined by this little thing.

He showed a look of heartache. This pot of wine was worth a lot of money; how could it withstand it ruining it like this?

Besides drinking, couldn't this Wine Gu eat anything else?

Ordinary wine wouldn't do; it insisted on drinking his top-grade distilled wine. If it didn't drink, it wouldn't grow in length. What kind of family did he have that could withstand it ruining things like this?

It was said that the cost of raising Gu was far greater than refining Gu; at this moment, he truly felt it deeply.

He had a premonition that the family fortune he earned from selling the mine vein would sooner or later be ruined by it; it was just a matter of time.

Long Xuan said with a black face: "Are you full! If you're full, drag that person for me. If that person runs away, don't even think about drinking any wine. I can't afford to raise such a great god like you."

Long Xuan pointed his finger at Lei Guang, who was about to break out of the encirclement.

Little White looked at Lei Guang, who was already covered in hungry wolves, with intoxicated eyes.

It didn't seem to have any movements, but the Slowing Domain of the white light curtain started from Little White and instantly spread to Lei Guang's feet in a long strip.

Lei Guang only felt that there was suddenly infinite resistance in the space, as if there was an invisible big hand hindering him from moving forward, hindering every action of his. He had to use all his strength for every move he made, and every step he took cost him countless times more effort.

His speed at this moment was unknown how many times slower.

What made him even more desperate was that it was only himself who was affected by the slowing down; the movement speed of the wolf pack was not affected at all.

Seeing the range of the domain continue to spread, already enveloping the wolf pack, however, that little white snake didn't act like a person at all. It not only treated them differently, not slowing down the wolf pack, but instead accelerated the wolf pack.

It could actually play like this.

He suddenly had the urge to vomit blood and completely collapsed.

Only he was slowed down, while all the wolves were accelerated. How could he fight then?

Seeing that he was about to break out of the encirclement, in the next second, the speed of the wolf pack was unknown how many times faster, quickly surpassing him. Thus, he returned to the center of the encirclement again, his eyes showing despair.

Once the wolf pack was accelerated, its attack ability could be imagined. Many attacks that could clearly be dodged, under the influence of acceleration, he couldn't dodge at all, not to mention he was still in a state of deceleration.

Especially that wolf king, after being accelerated, completely turned into a crazy wolf, its combat power increasing sharply.

After biting the Thunder Purple Gold Toad to death, noticing that its speed was suddenly unknown how many times faster, it immediately showed excitement, launching a fierce attack on Lei Guang, who was already covered in wounds, as if testing how strong its combat power was after being accelerated.

With the joined battle group of the strengthened wolf king, Lei Guang's pressure suddenly increased, and he began to be in danger, being scratched by the wolf king from time to time, leaving a deep wound that could reach the bone.

Except for a Thunder Glow Gu, all his other spirit insects had died suddenly. His speed was increased and decreased, and under the wolf king's attack, he had no power to fight back at all.

Not long after, his right leg was torn off by the wolf king. After losing his ability to act, he had no power to resist and was swarmed by the wolves and quickly eaten up. His death was extremely miserable.

Long Xuan showed no pity. Those who kill will always be killed.

Since he liked killing people to seize treasures, he had to be prepared to be killed in return.

Coming out to mix, one has to pay back.

Long Xuan showed a cold sneer, ran over, grabbed the several storage bags and insect breeding bags left by Lei Guang, and also began to break out.

After the wolves bit Lei Guang to death, they began to concentrate their strength to attack him fiercely.

However, since Long Xuan dared to lure them over, he was naturally not afraid of them.

Not to mention that he had the "Entering the Subtle" movement technique, even if the most critical situation appeared, at worst he would directly release a 200-year Yuan Qi Bomb. Whether you were a wolf king or an eight king, just die for me. Even if the wolf pack increased by another fold, it wouldn't be enough for him to wipe out in one breath.

Of course, this was in the case of unexpected variables, such as the wolf king breaking through in the battle and suddenly becoming a Second Rank spirit beast.

The current situation was not worth him using the Yuan Qi Bomb. After all, he had to lose 200 years of lifespan. Unless it was a last resort, he was reluctant to use it, and using it on this wolf pack was completely not worth it.

Only to see Little White's domain range open wide, and in a moment, it enveloped the entire wolf pack.

However, the situation this time changed.

The wolf pack was no longer accelerated, but slowed down.

Now it became Long Xuan who was accelerated, and only he was accelerated.

With this speed reduced and increased, how could they chase? The wolf pack could only watch helplessly as Long Xuan easily broke out of the encirclement, leaving them further and further behind, not even able to eat the dust from his butt.

At this time, the wolf king was very depressed. Just now it was accelerated, but now it was suddenly slowed down again. This up and down made it very uncomfortable and very unhappy.

It could only watch helplessly as Long Xuan's back became smaller and smaller, and helplessly ordered to give up the chase.

The beast tide was something that made others change color when talking about it. Once surrounded by a beast flock, it was almost a dead end.

But only for Long Xuan, entering the beast flock was like strolling in his own backyard; he could enter and exit as he pleased.

Even a super genius as strong as Lei Guang was torn to pieces by the beasts, yet Long Xuan could be unscathed in the beast flock and easily escape.

After leaving the wolf pack for a certain distance, Long Xuan couldn't wait to check his spoils of war.

Lei Guang had three storage bags hanging on his waist alone; he wouldn't believe it if there were no good things.

Upon opening it, it was just as he expected, immediately making his eyes light up.

The various treasures inside were piled up like a mountain, and two of the storage bags were already completely full. This was more than just "fat"; it was simply too fat.

Long Xuan had to sigh, how many people had this sinister little kid pitted to death to be able to possess so much wealth? Killing people was indeed the fastest way to make money.

He checked the things in the three storage bags and insect breeding bag at the fastest speed, and soon his eyes narrowed, showing a brilliant smile.

Good fellow, it was simply too fat. He actually found materials for two beast kings inside, and correspondingly, there were top-grade spirit insects parasitizing the beast kings.

A deer king, a cow king, just happened to be the materials necessary for refining the Dragon Gu.

The deer antlers were the part of the dragon horns, and the cow ears were the part of the dragon ears. Now his Dragon Gu's eyes, ears, dragon scales, dragon horns, and dragon claws were all complete.

Five-ninths of all the body parts of the Dragon Gu had been collected by him, and more than half of the nine beast king materials had been collected by him.

And how long had this been?

His Dragon Gu formula hadn't even been created yet? He hadn't even "covered" 10% of the content.

At first, he was worried about not finding materials and considered whether to give up the plan of researching the Dragon Gu formula. Now it seemed that his worry was completely superfluous.

It could only be said that this beast tide came too timely; all kinds of beast materials could be collected in the beast tide.

It was estimated that this Lei Guang also collected two sets of beast king materials by constantly pitting geniuses to death.

Long Xuan was blooming with joy.

This was just the material he needed; he wouldn't mention the materials he didn't need. Many materials were even more precious than beast king materials.

In short, this Lei Guang's family fortune was simply too, too fat.

Long Xuan was very satisfied.

Just when he was happily counting the spoils of war, the Flame Clone finally arrived after sensing it. Without saying a word, he threw an insect breeding bag to Long Xuan.

Long Xuan took it curiously. Upon opening it and looking, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately laughed like a flower.

Good fellow, there was actually a camel corpse inside. It was actually another beast king, and a top-grade spirit insect was also parasitizing at the spirit core.

The dragon head resembled a camel. Good fellow, isn't the head of the Divine Dragon complete now?

Six-ninths of the nine beast king materials had been collected. Only three types of beast king materials were missing. Double happiness, it was truly double happiness.

"Good! Good! Good! Well done!"

Long Xuan laughed from ear to ear, patted the Flame Clone on the shoulder, and at the same time synchronized his memory.

By checking the memory, he finally understood where the Flame Clone got the Camel King corpse.

In the confrontation between the Gu Cultivator Alliance and the beast tide, not only did the Gu Cultivator Alliance suffer heavy casualties, but a massive amount of spirit beasts also died, among which there was no lack of a large number of beast kings.

As a result, the surviving Gu cultivators basically made a fortune. Every Gu cultivator had a bountiful harvest on the battlefield, fattening their pockets. Naturally, the materials they didn't use had to be dealt with.

Therefore, the camp held large and small trading conferences every day, and there were countless numbers of them.

Top-grade spirit insects that were rarely seen at ordinary times appeared frequently at the trading conferences, and there were countless rare beast materials. Many Gu cultivators made a killing.

And this entire set of Camel King beast materials was obtained by the Flame Clone through bidding and trading with a great clan Gu cultivator at the trading conference.

The price paid was not small. The family fortune of all the Gu cultivators in the camp was fat, which led to the Flame Clone using up 20 million spirit stones plus a bottle of Spirit-Replenishing Pills to take down the entire Camel King corpse and the top-grade spirit insect sold in a bundle.

Of course, this was a transaction completed under the condition of changing his appearance. Just this one transaction exhausted the Flame Clone's spirit stones.

As for the safety of the Flame Clone, Long Xuan was completely unworried after checking his memory.

Long Qilin was considered to miss old feelings. If he hadn't helped in that battle, he would definitely have died.

Therefore, in this beast tide, he took good care of the Flame Clone, and basically, he wouldn't end up being used as cannon fodder by the great clans.

In this way, Long Xuan was even more assured and bold to put resources on the Flame Clone.

He rummaged through his storage bag. He had only spent a small half of the spirit stones he earned from selling the fossil mine vein last time, and his family fortune was still very rich, not to mention the pile of spirit stones like a mountain in Lei Guang's storage bag.

Therefore, he was not stingy at all. With a wave of his hand, he transferred 200 million spirit stones to the Flame Clone and distributed many medicine bottles to the Flame Clone, including a large number of Spirit-Replenishing Pills.

There were also various treasures that he didn't need. Long Xuan also divided a part and handed it to the Flame Clone.

"Change! Change it for me fiercely! Change it to death!"

It had only been two months, and the Flame Clone had collected a set of beast king materials. If he were given another year, how much could he collect?

Collecting the nine types of beast king materials needed for the Dragon Gu had great prospects, great prospects. Therefore, Long Xuan spent a lot of money, not hesitating to put a large amount of resources on the Flame Clone, striving to let him smash the remaining three types of beast king materials back with heavy money.

After meeting up with the Flame Clone, Long Xuan immediately returned to his small home, not staying for even a moment longer.

Such a great danger happened just after arriving here. Who knew what would happen if he stayed longer? As a protagonist, he had a certain halo; wherever he went, there was danger. Only staying at home was the safest.

As for the matter of resisting the beast tide, it was completely left to the Flame Clone to do, and by the way, collect the materials needed for the Dragon Gu.

He, the main body, still had important things to do. Having the Flame Clone there was equivalent to Long Xuan contributing a share in the beast tide.

After taking three days to return home, Long Xuan ran into the small pavilion in his medicine garden again, brewed tea, and heated up tea eggs. The fragrance of the tea eggs hit his nose. After taking a beautiful sip, he sat on the stone chair and "livered" the Gu formula, sipping tea from time to time. If it was cold, he would change the tea to warm wine, knowing how to enjoy himself extremely well.

He fell into a state of seclusion again, but the life of seclusion didn't make him feel bitter.

His storage bag had a large amount of fresh and delicious beast king meat, and the vegetable garden had also matured. The fruits and vegetables were all of high grade, and making them into stir-fried dishes was far more delicious than in his previous life.

Every day, besides "livering" the Gu formula, eating delicious food became his greatest enjoyment. A homebody had a homebody's fun. As a homebody who rarely communicated with the outside world, his happiness index might not be low.

Every day at home, Long Xuan either researched Gu formulas or researched food, enjoying delicious food. Only every two months would he go out once to meet up with the Flame Clone.

While synchronizing the memories of both sides, he would also bring the materials collected by the Flame Clone back home. Every time he went, there would be a harvest, and the materials needed for the Dragon Gu were also being prepared bit by bit.

He repeated this life in a two-point-one-line manner, simple and unadorned. As the number of round trips became more and more frequent, a year had passed unconsciously.

And within this year, Long Xuan's inspiration burst forth, greatly shortening the construction period. In just one year, he had already "livered" the Dragon Gu formula to 90%, and it was not far from success.

On this day, he stopped his pen. After placing the pen on the stone table, he drank a sip of fruit juice squeezed from a Fourth-Rank spirit fruit.

The fruit juice squeezed from a Fourth-Rank spirit fruit was more than just delicious. The fruit juice was rich in sufficient spiritual power of various attributes. Taking a sip made his whole body feel comfortable. If he could add a few ice cubes, it would be even better.

After Long Xuan let out a comfortable burp, he walked toward the beehive hanging on the cherry blossom tree.

This was also the reason why he suddenly got up. Through observing the progress, the little glutton was not far from evolving into a bee king, estimated to be in these few days.

Therefore, he would get up from time to time during this period to take a look, full of anticipation.

With a nervous mood, Long Xuan slowly approached the beehive on the cherry blossom tree.

As soon as he approached, Long Xuan saw that there was actually an extra huge round hole on the beehive. The round hole far exceeded the normal body size of a spirit bee, as if it had been suddenly squeezed out from the inside by something.

His spirit was shaken, and he immediately looked into the interior of the beehive along this big hole. Sure enough, a spirit bee with a huge body size was hiding inside, happily enjoying the honey.

No need to doubt, that big hole must have been squeezed out by this guy. Besides it, there was no one else.

Its body size suddenly became larger, and the small bee hole could no longer accommodate it to enter and exit, so it could only use brute force to squeeze out forcibly.

But with such a squeeze, it suffered the other spirit bees. Its neighbors were all "demolished," and a large group of spirit bees had no home overnight, becoming homeless.

Every spirit bee of this bee species had a secret room that belonged exclusively to itself, which could be considered their respective homes, belonging to private territory, but all spirit bees shared a beehive like a maze.

Every spirit bee ate the honey it made itself, hiding honey of different flavors in its own secret room, enjoying it slowly when the night was quiet.

Some spirit bees had even developed a collecting habit, wanting to collect some honey of every flavor, piling their small homes full.

The rare Fourth-Rank honey was hidden the most tightly, guarding against peers passing by their door like guarding against thieves, for fear that their Fourth-Rank honey would be stolen by peers.

Therefore, every secret room in the beehive was very important to the spirit bees living here. Inside were stored the good honey they had treasured for many years. Now that it was destroyed, wouldn't this make the honey-addicted bees fight it to the death?

This big guy was afraid that it had already committed public anger. Wouldn't it be beaten to death? Long Xuan thought worriedly.

However, when he looked carefully into the hole, he found that it was not the case at all.

That big guy seemed to be distributing "demolition funds." All the spirit bees whose homes were destroyed became "demolition households" and left satisfied, and were expanding the beehive, preparing to expand a circle at the edge of the beehive and rebuild their homes.

As for the "demolition funds," it was an ice-blue thing. The other spirit bees all looked at this group of ice-blue things with extremely eager eyes.

Even many spirit bees took out the Fourth-Rank honey they couldn't bear to eat from their homes to exchange with it.

That big guy kept shaking its head, actually not exchanging.

What on earth is this thing? Its value is higher than Fourth-Rank honey. Long Xuan was shocked.

However, what was certain was that this thing must have great benefits for spirit bees and had a fatal temptation for them. Otherwise, they couldn't possibly be willing to take out even Fourth-Rank honey to exchange.

"It's Bee Royal Jelly!"

Long Xuan's expression suddenly moved, and he shouted out loud.

At this time, there was only such an explanation.

Only if that blue thing was Bee Royal Jelly would its value be higher than Fourth-Rank honey.

One must never equate the Bee Royal Jelly of the previous life with the Bee Royal Jelly of this world. The magical effects of the Bee Royal Jelly in this world were simply too many. The Bee Royal Jelly made by worker bees didn't count, but the Bee Royal Jelly made by the bee king was enough to make ordinary spirit bees evolve, and even undergo metamorphosis, having a fatal attraction to all spirit bees.

Long Xuan's breathing was rapid. In fact, he didn't need to look at the progress. Just by looking at that huge body size, he already knew that the little glutton had inevitably evolved into a bee king.

The cultivation path of the bee king was finally successful.

Heaven knew how long he had waited for this day, and how long he had craved honey. Now that the bee king was finally born, it really made him wait for a long time.

Long Xuan was ecstatic. Now he finally had countless spirit honey to eat.

He couldn't wait to reach his hand into that big hole, grabbed the glutton that had become larger, and then bit his finger, blood-contracting it at the fastest speed.

The little glutton only knew how to eat and had no resistance at all. In its dazed state, it had already established a blood-contract connection with someone.

Through the blood-contract connection, Long Xuan also quickly understood what its ability was.

Undoubtedly, after eating the honey made from the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Mountain Snow Lotus honey, the little glutton accidentally evolved into a new bee species, a brand-new bee species that appeared in this world for the first time.

What species it was before, Long Xuan still hadn't figured out until now, always calling this group of spirit bees by the collective name "spirit bees."

But now, what bee species they were before was no longer important, and Long Xuan was too lazy to check.

Because the little glutton had evolved into a new bee species, those ordinary spirit bees would also soar in strength after eating its Bee Royal Jelly and evolve into this bee species.

And for this bee species, Long Xuan also quickly took a brand-new term, called "Ice Bee," and this little glutton would be named "Bing Bing."

He already knew the general ability of the Ice Bee through the blood-contract connection.

Whether it was the bees of the previous life or the bees of this life, they all had a fatal weakness, a weakness that made all Gu cultivators unable to tolerate.

The bee's stinger had barbs. Once the barbs were stabbed into the enemy's body, they couldn't be pulled out at all.

Therefore, every time a bee stung someone, the stinger would remain on the enemy's skin. At the same time, the intestines connected to the stinger would also be left behind, leading to the bee dying soon after hurting someone.

The final result was that the enemy couldn't even be considered slightly injured, but instead, they killed themselves first. It was simply a meaningless suicide attack.

But the Ice Bee he accidentally created evolved very perfectly and didn't have such a fatal defect at all.

The Ice Bee's stinger was an ice needle condensed from ice. Not only did it have no barbs, but because it was smooth, it was very easy to stab into the enemy's body.

Moreover, the ice needle was a consumable product, could be manufactured infinitely, and could be shot through the air for long-range attacks. After the ice needle flew out, the Ice Bee's tail would soon grow the next ice needle, which could be repeatedly regenerated, completely without the disadvantage of other bees' stingers being "one loss and one death."

Moreover, the ice needle contained strong poison. Once the ice needle stabbed into the human body, it would melt instantly in violation of common sense and turn into liquid, quickly absorbed by the human body.

Long Xuan didn't know how terrible the Ice Bee's poison was, but what was certain was that it belonged to the "unsolvable poison" in this world for the time being.

A strong poison that no one in the whole world had ever seen before, of course, no one would know the method of detoxification. In a sense, it could be said to be unsolvable.

Long Xuan was very satisfied with the Ice Bee's combat ability. Although single-soldier combat ability certainly couldn't compare with top-grade spirit insects.

But Ice Bees were gregarious spirit insects, and they couldn't withstand the large quantity.

Under the leadership of the bee king, tens of thousands of Ice Bees could completely perform a "Rain of Pear Blossom Needles," making the sky rain dense needles and covering the earth indiscriminately.

Imagine who wouldn't have a headache when encountering this kind of attack method?

One had to know that every ice needle was highly poisonous. It wouldn't be comfortable for anyone to be hit by one.

However, there was only one Ice Bee now, and it was still far from the scale of hundreds of thousands. Wanting to cultivate so many Ice Bees, he didn't know how long he would have to wait, and he also needed to continue to expand the scale of planting flower-type spirit medicine.

Long Xuan wouldn't be able to see the terrifying scene of needles raining from the sky in a short time, and the Ice Bees wouldn't be able to form combat power in a short time either.

He could only raise the Ice Bees in the medicine garden for a long time first, and make arrangements after they formed a certain scale.
