Chapter 2160: Trap (2)
Translator : MoonWhisperer, Tiffamisuu Editor : Skyrise, Pyr
The hive’s activity stretched over quite an expansive area. Within a hundred-mile radius, they were considered to reign supreme. Normally, you wouldn’t be able to see them, but if something disturbed them, not even bones would be left behind. They were terrible, just terrible.
At this time, Big Sister Wei wasn’t at all aware of anything else, she just continued stomping her feet in anger and shouting constantly.
Liao Er clenched a fist and danced excitedly: Hurry up and shout louder! Scream louder!
This exact place was the very center of the hive. A large number of bee ants lived in the area under the feet of Big Sister Wei, and this was the hour of the bee ant’s mating cycle. If their mating was interrupted, then they’d be extremely angry.
Now that Big Sister Wei was stomping and shouting, this would disturb the atmosphere of their mating. Liao Er trembled with excitement, feeling as if he wished to beat up Big Sister Wei simply for those bees’ sake.
As Su Luo reached that area, she noticed that something was clearly wrong.
This person had deliberately lured them here and then purposefully disappeared. Su Luo held the Little Purple Sable in her arms as she stood still, stroking the soft fur of the little sable.
The Little Purple Sable's nose was very sensitive, and it soon smelled the abnormalities in the air.
Then, its small paw pointed to the location of the central tree.
It was a thousand-year-old tree!
The tree’s massive trunk could have been embraced by nearly twenty people. For the height of the tree, the tree towered into the sky as far as the eye could see, and the top was so far up that it was out of sight.
However, the tree was very dry and stood very conspicuously in the midst of this leafy sunset forest.
Such an ancient tree shouldn't have survived, why was it still able to stand for thousands of years? And the Little Purple Sable had said that the strongest scent was from the tree.
Su Luo approached it steadily, full of curiosity.
Although the thousand-year-old tree was a distance away, as soon as Liao Er saw Su Luo, his whole body began to tremble with excitement and his cheeks flushed bright red!
Perfect!
He had still been pondering on how to lure Su Luo to the tree. He hadn’t expected that Su Luo in fact, would head towards it herself; it seemed that even the gods were helping him!
At this time, the Communication Amulet sounded.
Liao Er picked up and saw that it was the boss.
Before Leng Xiao could ask, Liao Er had already lowered his voice and excitedly reported what had happened with incoherent words: "Boss Boss! Right now, the vile wench with the Su name is walking towards the big tree in the middle of the bee ant nest, she’s close, she’s close, still thirty meters away… twenty meters… ten meters…five meters…"
The excitement! His fists were clenched tightly, and faces blushed with anticipation!
"Three meters…two meters…" Liao Er’s words became increasingly incoherent as he was excited that he was nearing a great achievement! He continued reporting the latest progress to his boss, Leng Xiao, who followed along, listening closely. He clearly remembered how terrible the ancient tree had been!
At the beginning, they hadn’t known anything, leaning on the big central tree to rest; however they had disturbed the mating of the queen bee inside. The consequences… Leng Xiao thought about it and felt a shiver down his back!
At that time, they had had a group of ten of them, but only the two of them, he and Liao Er, had escaped!
What about the rest? The rest had been swallowed up by the bee ant army summoned by the queen and her bees! Not only were their entire bodies consumed, not even a single strand of hair or bone remained! So terrifying!!!
As Leng Xiao thought about Su Luo, that vile wench, about to die without a place to be buried, his entire body bubbled with excitement. He sped up his pace, and hurried towards Liao Er.
"She’s about to die, about to die!" Liao Er kept his gaze fixed on Su Luo's steps, concentrating in excitement while holding his breath. He didn't dare to take a breath of air, lest he miss the moment of her death.
Soon, he took in a breath of air, because!
Su Luo had stopped!
She was still one meter away from the ancient tree at the center, when she stopped just before it!
Liao Er's heartbeat felt as if it was suspended in place unable to beat at all, and his gaze remained fixed on Su Luo, wishing with all his might that he could nudge her towards it.
Just when Liao Er was considering ways to force Su Luo towards it, Su Luo began walking forward again.
This was good! All was going well! Only one more step was left! Go on, you could do it!!! Liao Er clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Su Luo's back hard enough to burn a hole into it!
Meanwhile, in the Communication Amulet, there was a cold and impatient voice waiting on the other side.
"Boss!" Liao Er lowered his voice, for fear of being discovered by Su Luo.
"What?!" Leng Xiao's voice was slightly uncontrolled with traces of excitement.
"The last step, it’s the last step! Very soon!" Liao Er said firmly, "She has lifted her foot, stepped on it, stepped on…"
However, at this very moment Su Luo frowned.
She was actually communicating right then and there with the Little Purple Sable in her head: "What's in it?"
The Little Purple Sable scratched his head: "I don’t know, but it seems to be very dangerous, very very dangerous. Are you sure you want to see it?"
The corner of Su Luo's mouth slowly curved into a smile, and when she was just one step away from reaching the ancient central tree, she directed her footsteps away, and went right around the tree, pulling Big Sister Wei with her and walking straight.
Liao Er: "…"
He watched Su Luo walk away without a single glance back, and his entire body felt as if he had been suddenly struck by lightning; he stood there stupidly, motionless, feeling as if he could no longer hear what was happening around him.
In the communication amulet, Leng Xiao’s uncontrollably excited voice continued to make itself heard: "Has she stepped on it? Did she step on it?"
Liao Er: "…"
"Hurry up! Has she stepped on it?!" Leng Xiao was anxious. If Liao Er had been in front of him at this time, he would have definitely kicked him without a doubt!
"Hahaha! At this time, was that vile wench being chased by the queen bee and queen’s bee? Did the entire hive come out? Are there any bones left from being chewed up?!" Leng Xiao imagined the scenario in his mind by himself. The scene he painted for himself suddenly became so exciting.
Liao Er: "…"
Facing the boss’s passionate excitement, Liao Er burst into tears at this time. He swallowed deeply, pondering about how to word his news for a moment, and finally, hesitatingly reported the situation: "Boss, boss, boss… Don’t get too excited. Don't get excited… things… things have changed…"
Leng Xiao suddenly felt as if his acupuncture points had been pressured, and his advancing footsteps suddenly stiffened from his subconscious reaction: "What?"
Liao Er almost cried: "Boss… she… she…"
"If you have something to say to me then straighten out your tongue and just say it!" Leng Xiao gritted his teeth, squeezing out word by word through his teeth, "Just say it!"
Liao Er felt his scalp grow numb, took a deep breath and mustered up the courage, saying all in one breath: "Boss! That vile wench didn't step on the central tree. She didn't step on it, she just turned and left!"
Liao Er: “…”
