Chapter 2579

~8 min read 1,547 words

Tiger Hornet area, inside a tree hole.

Perhaps struck by lightning, this bread tree, several meters thick, looked like it had a perm, with the upper half completely exploded.

Inside the tree hole below, Su Xiao was sketching a map. After Baha's reconnaissance, the terrain of the nearby area was basically understood.

The location at this time was temporarily named Tiger Hornet Area by Su Xiao. The area here wasn't small, and because a large number of Tiger-Eye Hornets lived here, there were no other extraordinary creatures in this area.

Connected to the Tiger Hornet Area was a vast lake. That side was very dangerous. All extraordinary creatures in the surrounding area would go there to drink water. This place was called the Water Source Area by Su Xiao.

The 'Tiger Hornet Area' and the 'Water Source Area' were connected, and on the west side of these two areas was a swampy wetland. That side was very dangerous, with numerous extraordinary poisonous insects. Some poisonous insects spread a small amount of toxic powder when flying, which had extremely strong lethality.

The characteristic of the wetland swamp area was that the bodies of the poisonous insects and snakes there were very fragile, but once bitten by them, one would have to peel off a layer of skin even if they didn't die.

That side was the fastest place to get benefits, but also the highest risk. Contractors wouldn't easily enter here, so Su Xiao excluded this area.

Compared to the Tiger Hornet Area, Su Xiao felt there would be more contractors in the Water Source Area. The reason was that it was relatively safer, and the range was more vast, with an area eight times that of the Tiger Hornet Area, equivalent to the territory of a small-to-medium-sized country.

According to Baha's investigation, there should be a primitive tribe living there. Baha saw the totem mark left by that primitive tribe. The pattern was light green, a skull filled with spikes. Just looking at this totem mark gave people a sense of ominousness.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang returned and jumped into the tree hole. That meant it didn't find any contractors in the surrounding area, only seeing a giant beehive at least five stories high, and a large number of skeletons around it.

Undoubtedly, cleaning up that giant beehive would definitely yield a lot of benefits. All kinds of produce from the Tiger-Eye Hornets would be very valuable.

Unfortunately, this Tiger Hornet Nest was not easy to provoke. Being stung by a Tiger-Eye Hornet would suffer about 12~18 points of real poison damage. The damage intensity seemed low, but once besieged, it wasn't the same thing. The Tiger-Eye Hornets' strength was indeed weak, but their speed was fast, especially their flight speed.

An Apollo bomb could solve the problem, but all the gains would be burned to charcoal. Precious items were inside the beehive, not from killing the Tiger-Eye Hornets.

Su Xiao had already discovered that letting Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha go for reconnaissance wasn't wise. This required bearing more risks, and the probability of finding other contractors wasn't high.

The real time to kill enemies should be the daily material deployment. Su Xiao didn't think other contractors would be cowardly. Even Survivors wouldn't be cowardly.

Contractors who could reach the top 10,000 in the Tree Arena rarely had the type who would hide as soon as they entered the world. If they didn't dare to explore, the resources obtained would be very limited, and their strength would also be greatly reduced.

Therefore, the daily material deployment was the key. The deployment time for the first day was unknown. It was 10:30 in the morning at this time.

Su Xiao didn't intend to just wait for material deployment. It was also a very good choice to go to that Tiger-Eye Hornet Nest to fish for some benefits.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao leaped out of the tree hole, prepared to fish for some benefits along the way.

Half an hour later, one kilometer away from the giant beehive, on a Sky-Gazing Tree several dozen meters high, Su Xiao was sitting on a tree fork, his face not looking very good. His right hand was somewhat swollen, clearly stung.

As for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha, all three were almost swollen into pig heads, especially Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, whose cheeks were like two steamed buns stuffed in, full of lovelessness.

"Careless, shit, why are they all elite individuals inside!"

Baha stomped its claw in anger. Responsible for attracting hatred, it was almost stung into serious injury.

Hum~

Some terrifying wing vibration sounds came. In the distance, a figure was running wildly in the shrubs, chased by elite Tiger-Eye Hornets one after another.

It can be said that everyone is equal under the Tiger-Eye Hornet. This extraordinary creature is not only numerous to the point of absurdity, but they are all elite individuals several times larger than ordinary Tiger-Eye Hornets.

The person being chased by the Tiger-Eye Hornets was Gourmet. This guy should also want to fish for some benefits.

Unfortunately, Gourmet, who was still full of pressure and killed three Hunters in a short time, could only run fast at this time. Being chased by tens of thousands of Tiger-Eye Hornets was no joke.

Don't think this quantity is a lot. Inside the super-giant beehive that was five stories high, there were at least millions of Tiger-Eye Hornets, or even more.

Before long, Gourmet disappeared into the dense forest, clearly not prepared to fight these elite Tiger-Eye Hornets to the death. If millions of Tiger-Eye Hornets poured out, that would be a big joke.

Looking at the exaggeratedly large beehive below, Su Xiao felt that the Tiger-Eye Hornet group was ridiculously strong. This was no longer the strength of ordinary extraordinary creatures.

"Boss, I have a plan."

"..."

"Woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was almost about to speak human language, meaning: "I can't take this grievance, it can't just end like this."

"Woof."

"I'm counting on you, Xiang Bubu."

"Woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, environmental-friendly, jumped down from the Sky-Gazing Tree and began to crawl forward in the grass, gradually approaching the beehive.

On the Sky-Gazing Tree, Su Xiao took out the signal receiving terminal and connected to the monitoring device carried by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang at a specific frequency. The picture was fed back to the screen of the signal receiving terminal.

Originally, Su Xiao planned to let Amu freeze the beehive. Unfortunately, as soon as they approached within 700 meters, a large group of elite Tiger-Eye Hornets rushed out, as precise as satellite positioning.

At this time, letting Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang sneak into the beehive, the gains were indeed limited, but Su Xiao wanted to know what was inside the beehive more.

According to the picture on the signal receiving terminal, Su Xiao saw that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang entered from the entrance on the upper right of the beehive. This beehive was too huge, with seven exits.

Strangely, with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's physique, entering the beehive entrance wasn't difficult. It only needed to crawl forward, and it wouldn't block the Tiger-Eye Hornets flying above.

The passages inside the beehive were intricate and complex, seemingly built of soil, but this beehive had strength exceeding concrete.

After Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang wandered around the dim beehive a few times, it successfully... got lost. Besides confusion, there was nothing else on its dog face.

Wing vibration sounds appeared, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang shrank its neck in shock. This wing vibration sound was too loud, somewhat deafening.

A worker bee with a body length of at least over one meter and a gold-black carapace flew past near Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Bubu now knew why the beehive passages were so wide.

This time there was a tracking target, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang began to track the giant worker bee, and after wandering around the beehive many more times, Xiang Bubu arrived at the very center of the beehive.

This place was like a melt hole, at least seven meters high, and several hundred square meters in size. Gems emitting white light were embedded in the nest walls, making it no longer dim.

A three-meter-high cocoon was located in the center, guarded by a dozen powerful worker bees, who were guarding the cocoon, vigilant at all times.

The worker bee that returned from hunting landed. It landed in front of the cocoon and offered the fresh meat in a submissive posture. This was the flesh and blood of extraordinary creatures.

A hand wrapped in a gold-black carapace stabbed out from the cocoon. This cocoon seemed to be made of some kind of semi-fluid, breathable and possessing self-healing properties.

This hand wrapped in a carapace wasn't big, the fingers were slender. After grabbing that piece of extraordinary creature flesh and blood, it slowly retracted into the cocoon. A moment later, a very low chewing sound came from inside the cocoon.

Through the picture fed back by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Su Xiao saw all this. He finally knew why this beehive was ridiculously strong, because there was an overlord-level creature inside, and the entire Tiger Hornet Area was the other party's territory.
