Chapter 215
After the Cyan Flame Cloud Smoke Array was activated, Song Qingming controlled the array to release several more cyan flames. The flames in the air transformed into several cyan fire dragons, dancing and rolling in the white fog, and soon burned seven or eight out of ten of the several hundred Iron-Armored Bees trapped inside.
Seeing the fire dragons raging inside the array, the remaining living Iron-Armored Bees began to flee in all directions. A small part with better luck actually managed to rush out of the white fog by bumping around.
But before they wanted to flee here, several huge fireballs had already rushed toward them. Huang Shengyue and Hu Longhai, who had been prepared on the side, quickly cast spells up and down to attack these Iron-Armored Bees.
The Iron-Armored Bees' shells were very hard, and ordinary techniques and magic tools were difficult to injure them. The best way to kill them quickly was to use fire attacks.
Whether it was fire-attribute spells or spiritual talismans, their lethality to them was very obvious, and they would have a multiplier effect with half the effort. This was also their biggest weakness.
These Iron-Armored Bees were basically first-tier demon beasts. Before, relying on the advantage of numbers, they could still threaten Foundation Establishment cultivators like Song Qingming.
Now that most of the Iron-Armored Bees were trapped in the white fog by the Cyan Flame Cloud Smoke Array, the dozen or so that escaped posed no threat to Huang Shengyue and the others, and they were soon killed clean by Huang Shengyue and Hu Longhai.
But spending the time of a stick of incense, Song Qingming and the few relied on the array to kill all the nearly a thousand Iron-Armored Bees that had just been lured into the array. Seeing the plan was so smooth, the three all revealed smiles.
As long as they came a few more times to weaken the number of the bee swarm, the threat of this group of Iron-Armored Bees to them would also become smaller and smaller. When everyone attacked together, eliminating the remaining Iron-Armored Bees would only be a matter of time.
Next, Huang Shengyue also learned from Hu Longhai and swaggered into the diagonal valley. After some intentional provocation, Huang Shengyue didn't take long to run back with a group of bee swarms.
Although the bee swarm lured by Huang Shengyue was not as large as Hu Longhai's just now, there were still two or three hundred. The few followed the same pattern, activated the array to trap these Iron-Armored Bees, and a moment later, as the white fog in the array dissipated, only a pile of golden corpses remained on the ground.
After two actions, although the three together had already eliminated over a thousand Iron-Armored Bees, the spiritual power in their bodies had also consumed quite a bit.
The person responsible for luring the enemy needed a large amount of spiritual power to support the spiritual power shield to protect themselves, and the consumption of spiritual power was very rapid. Song Qingming, who had been controlling the array, also needed to continuously consume his own spiritual power.
After the battle ended, Song Qingming and the few took out several Spirit-Returning Pills one after another, sat on the spot, and began to restore their own spiritual power. Fortunately, before entering the secret realm this time, the few were relatively well-prepared and carried quite a few such pills to restore spiritual power. Even if they consumed them with this group of Iron-Armored Bees for a few days, it wouldn't be a big problem.
After their own spiritual power was mostly restored, the few immediately began to repeat the previous action plan. In this kind of place, searching for spiritual items still needed to be a bit faster, otherwise, once discovered by other cultivators halfway, it might lead to another round of unnecessary disputes.
Until five or six times later, the Iron-Armored Bee swarm inside the diagonal valley finally felt a hint of something wrong. Unknowingly, they discovered that their tribe was already quite a bit less than before.
After a loud buzzing sound rang out, a golden-armored bee king that was several times larger than the previous Iron-Armored Bees suddenly flew out of the beehive.
This bee king was wrapped in a layer of golden armor all over its body and was already half the size of a fist, looking very majestic.
Seeing the bee king circle around the nest, it soon gathered several thousand Iron-Armored Bees, and then followed it to fly out of the valley together.
Hu Longhai, who wanted to go lure the enemy again, hadn't walked to the valley entrance before he saw a black bee swarm flying toward him from the front.
And he clearly saw that the bee king flying at the very front looked obviously different from other Iron-Armored Bees; it was feared it had already reached the second tier. Just so many Iron-Armored Bees were already enough to give people a headache, and adding this second-tier bee king, this was truly a bit bad.
Hu Longhai's heart was shocked, and he directly waved his hand to throw out several first-tier spiritual talismans. Then, without even looking, he turned around without hesitation and hurriedly ran toward Song Qingming and the two. While running, he also loudly shouted out the situation he saw.
Song Qingming and Huang Shengyue, hearing Hu Longhai's shouting from afar and hearing several violent sounds from the front, looked closely and soon saw the massive bee swarm behind Hu Longhai, which scared them into hurriedly activating the array together.
After the Cyan Flame Cloud Smoke Array was activated, a burst of white fog soon wrapped the two of them inside. Seeing Hu Longhai getting closer and closer to them, Song Qingming hurriedly controlled the array to reveal a gap and shouted at him.
Before Hu Longhai ran into the white fog, he specifically turned around to release a huge fireball toward the bee swarm chasing from behind, interfering with the bee swarm, and then quickly hid into the array.
The three controlled the array together, and the power of the Cyan Flame Cloud Smoke Array was also a few points larger than when Song Qingming controlled it alone. The white smoke stretched for dozens of feet, firmly protecting them inside.
The Iron-Armored Bee King saw the golden corpses scattered around the white fog and was immediately furious. Under its leadership, several thousand Iron-Armored Bees rushed directly into the white fog.
Although the Iron-Armored Bees that entered the white fog would lose their direction because of the array, this time the number of Iron-Armored Bees brought by the bee king was truly too large, and soon quite a few Iron-Armored Bees bumped around and flew directly in front of Song Qingming and the three.
Seeing this situation, Hu Longhai touched a red flag from his waist and waved it gently toward the few Iron-Armored Bees that had already killed their way in front of them. A burst of red spiritual power instantly wrapped around these few Iron-Armored Bees.
I don't know what change occurred, but the Iron-Armored Bees wrapped in the red spiritual power suddenly stopped all movement, as if falling into a deep sleep, and fell directly from the air to the ground.
"Two Fellow Daoists, focus on running the array; don't let them easily pass through this defense. Leave these fish that slipped through the net to me first." As soon as Hu Longhai's voice fell, several more Iron-Armored Bees rushed over not far away, and he hurriedly waved the magic tool in his hand to meet them.
Surrounded here by several thousand Iron-Armored Bees, with a second-tier bee king eyeing them covetously outside, Song Qingming and the few truly didn't dare to be careless. They didn't even dare to release the cyan flames in the array at will, only focusing on controlling the white smoke to block the Iron-Armored Bee swarm that was bumping around in the array.
After less than half a stick of incense, the Iron-Armored Bees that broke through the array became more and more numerous, and Hu Longhai, who was responsible for standing in front to block, also felt that he was becoming more and more strenuous. While struggling to block the Iron-Armored Bees, he turned his head to ask Song Qingming and the two for help.
