Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Queen Bee Awakens, Ownership of the Emperor’s Soul Profound Crystal
Meanwhile.
In another area of the beehive, an equally fierce battle was unfolding.
“Hahaha! Come on! You pack of golden pests!”
Qin Wudao wielded his Thunder Spear, his body wreathed in crackling electricity, making him look like a rampaging Thunder God.
Surrounded and attacked by ten Golden Soldier Bees, he showed no fear. Instead, his fighting spirit soared, and he grew more and more excited as the battle raged on!
BOOM!
A roaring dragon formed from pure thunder burst forth from the tip of his spear, violently blasting two Golden Soldier Bees away with overwhelming force!
Thunder Power was known for its domineering and destructive nature, and it was a natural counter to these insect-type Demon Beasts.
Furthermore, Qin Wudao’s own cultivation was as high as the Seventh Grade Middle Stage, and he was indeed a top-tier prodigy!
Therefore, although he felt a hint of pressure while facing the siege of these ten Golden Soldier Bees,
he was handling it far more easily than Gu Yuexi could have, even managing to maintain a firm upper hand!
“Exhilarating! This is truly exhilarating!”
Qin Wudao muttered to himself excitedly as he fought, completely lost in a state of extreme self-hype.
He was ecstatic!
’These Golden Soldier Bees are so powerful, even I’m having a bit of trouble dealing with them.’
’So what about Gu Yuexi?’
’She’s just a mere Fourth-Grade freshman. No matter how much of a genius she is or how bizarre her methods are, when faced with enemies of this level, there’s only one possible outcome for her—death!’
’There is absolutely no other possibility!’
At this thought, the smile on Qin Wudao’s lips widened.
’Hahaha, that ungrateful woman, Gu Yuexi, must have been torn to shreds by that swarm of Soldier Bees by now!’
’This way, no one will be left to compete with me for that Emperor’s Soul Profound Crystal!’
’Once I get that treasure, with my talent, it’ll take me three months at most to break through my bottleneck and step into the High Grade Realm!’
’What a pity, Gu Yuexi.’
A hint of false regret flickered in Qin Wudao’s eyes.
’I do like you, after all.’
’But when faced with a truly great opportunity, even you have to die for me!’
…
Just as Qin Wudao was caught up in his self-hype…
a White-striped Aedes Mosquito had appeared in a nearby corner at some unknown point.
This mosquito was, of course, one of Chu Sheng’s “One Qi Transmutes into the Three Pristine Ones”—his Celestial Thunder Illusion!
His main body was outside, absorbing the beehive.
The Water Mirror Clone he had summoned had found Gu Yuexi.
As for this Celestial Thunder Illusion, it had made its way here just in time to overhear Qin Wudao’s self-aggrandizing monologue.
’What’s this idiot muttering to himself about?’
’Emperor’s Soul Profound Crystal?’
’Looks like there really is some good stuff hidden deep inside this hive!’
No matter how Chu Sheng looked at it, he just couldn’t stand this Qin Wudao guy.
’Just listen to him! Is that something a human being would say?’
He had originally planned to launch a sneak attack, catch him off guard, and hit him hard.
But on second thought, he abandoned the idea.
’This Thunder Illusion Clone is just a clone, after all. It doesn’t have the Silent Annihilation Battle Armor, and its strength is only half of my main body’s.’
’This Qin Wudao guy wields that Thunder Spear with impressive power. His strength really can’t be underestimated.’
’If my clone rushes out for a sneak attack, it would probably just tickle him. It’d be pointless and would only expose my position.’
’A sneak attack is out…’
Chu Sheng’s mosquito eyes darted around as a much cheekier idea popped into his head.
’Hehe, then I’ll just have to “steal the chicken”!’
With this in mind, he used Instant Teleportation during a lull in Qin Wudao’s battle, teleporting deep into his hair.
’I’ll lie in ambush here first and wait for the right moment to snatch the prize!’
’Except…’
’Holy crap! What the hell is this smell in his hair?!’
A mixture of hair grease, sweat, and some indescribable sour, rotten stench nearly made Chu Sheng pass out on the spot!
’This guy looks so prim and proper on the outside, carrying himself like an elite prodigy. He can’t possibly be a total slob, all pretty on the outside but rotten on the inside, can he?’
’How many days has it been since he washed his hair?’
’What the hell!’
’After getting used to the elegant, orchid-like, and pleasantly fragrant scent of Gu Yuexi’s hair, smelling this is like falling from heaven into a septic tank!’
Chu Sheng almost threw up.
But there was nothing to be done. For the sake of his grand “chicken-stealing” plan, he had to endure it!
…
The battle soon came to an end.
After expending a considerable amount of Spiritual Power, Qin Wudao finally took care of the last Golden Soldier Bee!
*Pant… pant…*
He leaned on his long spear, panting heavily, a fine layer of sweat beading on his forehead.
The continuous, high-intensity battle had left even him feeling waves of exhaustion.
Without hesitation, he took an exquisite Jade Bottle from his Storage Ring. From it, he poured out a longan-sized Elixir that shimmered with iridescent light and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
Chu Sheng, hiding on top of his head, craned his neck to look and was instantly filled with envy.
’Whoa!’
’That Elixir… it’s shrouded in medicinal aura and brimming with spiritual charm. It’s actually a genuine Celestial Tier Lower-Grade Elixir!’
’It seems this kid has enjoyed top-tier resources his entire life!’
Sure enough, the Elixir dissolved the moment it entered his mouth, and a vast medicinal power instantly spread throughout his body.
Qin Wudao’s previously flagging aura was restored to its Peak state almost instantly.
Then, without pausing, he got his bearings and hurried toward the deepest part of the beehive.
Along the way.
He faintly noticed that the light emanating from the surrounding crystal walls of the hive seemed much dimmer than when he had first entered.
It was as if… the screen brightness of a phone about to run out of battery had been automatically lowered.
However, his mind was currently so full of the soon-to-be-his Emperor’s Soul Profound Crystal that he paid no mind to this minor anomaly.
Soon, he was back in the enormous core chamber!
Without any hesitation, Qin Wudao rushed to the Queen Bee’s side.
“It’s still here!”
The Emperor’s Soul Profound Crystal was still being clutched by the half-asleep Queen Bee.
And Chu Sheng, hiding on his head, also immediately saw the legendary Emperor’s Soul Profound Crystal.
’Holy cow!’
’Such a pure Spiritual Origin!’
’If Lord Mosquito here were to get a taste… tsk tsk, it’d be breathtakingly good!’
Looking at the Emperor’s Soul Profound Crystal.
Qin Wudao’s breathing became incredibly heavy.
No longer able to contain his excitement, he reached out to grab it!
However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the Emperor’s Soul Profound Crystal!
Something unexpected happened!
The Queen Bee, which had been in a half-slumbering state, opened its crimson, lantern-sized eyes without any warning!
A pair of cold, violent eyes filled with endless killing intent stared fixedly at Qin Wudao, who was just inches away!
“BUZZZZZZZ—!!!”
An extremely sharp and furious shriek erupted from the Queen Bee’s mouth!
The sound was no longer a simple buzz, but a soul-shattering roar containing a terrifying Spiritual Shock!
Qin Wudao bore the brunt of it. He felt as if his head had been smashed by a colossal hammer; his vision went black, his mind went blank, and he was momentarily stunned!
Immediately after.
The Queen Bee’s massive body shot into motion. Dozens of its appendages, like giant steel scythes, slashed toward the paralyzed Qin Wudao like a raging tempest!
“Not good!”
In the nick of time, Qin Wudao relied on his powerful combat instincts to forcibly break free from the daze. With a flash of lightning under his feet, he beat a hasty and pathetic retreat!
SHHIIIIINK!
Although he had dodged with incredible speed, a sharp appendage still slashed across his chest, leaving a terrifying, bone-deep wound. Blood instantly stained the front of his robes!
’That was close!’
Having barely escaped disaster, Qin Wudao was utterly horrified!
’This Queen Bee’s strength… It’s too terrifying!’
’Just the Spiritual Shock it unleashed in that one instant was far beyond anything the Golden Soldier Bees could compare to!’
Before he could even catch his breath, the Queen Bee’s overwhelming, tsunami-like attacks swept toward him once more!
Qin Wudao could only fall back, exhausted from just parrying the blows. He was completely suppressed, unable to fight back at all!
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he glimpsed a cold, aloof figure at another entrance.
It was Gu Yuexi!
’She’s not dead?!’
Qin Wudao was shocked at first, but then an idea flashed through his mind like lightning!
He made a snap decision and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs in Gu Yuexi’s direction:
“Gu Yuexi! Let’s work together to take down this Queen Bee!”
“As for the Emperor’s Soul Profound Crystal…”
“Don’t worry, we’ll be family soon enough! Let’s get the crystal first, and we can figure out how to split it later!”
