Chapter 975: It Is Really Impossible for This Queen!
Translator: Lordbluefire
“What are you doing? I’m rus.h.i.+ng for time!”
Sun Mo frowned and feigned unhappiness. Actually, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
As expected, this queen bee was hooked.
Honestly speaking, as long as one was an intelligent lifeform, they wouldn’t be willing to miss out on learning the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture after they had discovered how powerful it was.
The queen bee fell into conflict. It really didn’t wish to pay a huge price.
“That…this…”
The queen bee spoked awkwardly.
It was the queen bee of the Greenhaze Forest, a king-like existence that stood at the peak of bugs. Now, it had to submit to a human…
(Ai! It’s really impossible for this queen!)
Sun Mo turned and walked away. (I’ll simply ignore you.)
This was a battle tactic.
Sun Mo was someone who had learned beast taming. Although he didn’t have much practical experience, his knowledge was solid. The various tricks like giving the carrot and stick were still something he understood.
“Wait a minute!”
The queen bee immediately flapped its wings and blocked Sun Mo’s path.
When the others saw this, they showed puzzlement on their faces. As for Liu Mubai, he pulled out his sword and was worried there might be changes to the situation.
“Erm…do you have any requirements for someone to become your student?”
The queen bee endured the embarra.s.sment and asked.
“Sorry, I won’t accept you.”
Sun Mo tactfully declined.
“You are discriminating against me. I, the queen of the crown bees, am willing to become your student and serve you forever, yet you don’t want it?”
The queen bee had been wallowing in self-pity because it thought it had to become Sun Mo’s student for 100 years. But in the end, she directly exploded in anger after hearing Sun Mo’s words.
Bzz!
The surrounding male bees sensed their queen’s rage and immediately flew over. The momentum they created was like a golden-colored tsunami, wanting to engulf everyone.
“Your motive is not pure!”
Sun Mo’s lips twitched. “When I accept students, I don’t care about their race, background, or even apt.i.tude. But there’s one thing I have to guarantee. They must be kind, courageous, able to persevere, and have their own bright aspects in their lives.”
Sun Mo said this to exaggerate and create a ‘grand setting’ of what a personal great teacher should be like. Hence, Priceless Advice didn’t appear.
“…”
The queen bee really wanted to pierce Sun Mo to death and end everything.
The lifespan of humans wasn’t long. It felt that it was worth it even if it used 100 years to obtain the cultivation art as Sun Mo would die then.
But he didn’t agree.
(What should I do now? I can’t possibly really become his spiritual battle pet, right? Where would the prestige of my crown bee race be?)
“If I was a father and my son was unfilial, I wouldn’t let him inherit my a.s.sets, let alone a divine-level cultivation art.”
Sun Mo spoke with disdain.
The unspoken dialog was clear. (Just become a battle pet, that’s the only path for you.)
“Actually, I’m a very good person to negotiate with. Look at Little Silver, it is more valuable than you, right? Isn’t it interacting very well with me?”
Sun Mo persuaded.
The Holy Pharaoh, who was hiding in the shadows and observing the surroundings, rolled its eyes when it heard this. (That Little Silver only covets your ma.s.sages.)
A cloud actually liked to relax, soak in a bath, and be ma.s.saged… there was really no other cloud like it.
(Now, it should be my time to make an appearance to coax that bee. Master will surely give me a huge reward then.)
Just when the Holy Pharaoh took a few steps forward, the queen bee gave in.
“In that case, can I learn this cultivation art if I become your battle pet?”
The queen bee asked.
“Forget it, I can’t afford to have a spiritual beast like you.”
As Sun Mo spoke, a white light shone on his hands and prepared to dispel the contract.
Swish~
The queen bee directly flew to the end of the corridor and even hid around the corner. It waited a few seconds before stretching out its head as it pleaded in a small voice.
“Wait first, please!”
It wasn’t that the queen bee had never thought about kidnapping Sun Mo after the contract was dispelled or using these people to threaten him. But among these people, other than that other male and the female with two huge buns on her chest, the others showed no signs of anxiety at all.
Clearly, they were not afraid!
“You, come out!”
Sun Mo urged. “I’m going back.”
“I…I…”
The queen bee finally sighed and conceded. “I was wrong!”
“Sorry, I don’t wish to keep you anymore because you will drag down the quality of my battle pets.”
Sun Mo continued to reject.
“Please consider for a while longer. I’m very powerful. My poison can instantly kill ancient gigantic beasts and the honey concocted by my descendants has the effect of beautification, spirit qi replenishment, and the great effect of alleviating all types of poisonous substances. Although it cannot allow one to maintain their youth forever, it can extend youth and delay aging…”
The queen bee said a load of stuff.
“Alright, let’s talk about this in the future!”
Sun Mo interrupted the queen bee. “Do you know where the safest place in the surroundings is? I want to construct a teleportation gate and leave this place.”
“Understood!”
With the queen bee’s strength, it was already considered a strong existence in the greenhaze forest. So, it had naturally fully explored this comprehensive experimental lab.
The bees opened up a path for them and drove their enemies away, while the queen bee personally accompanied Sun Mo. Very soon, it led them to an area with hot springs.
“The spring water here is very sweet.”
The queen bee presented it like a treasure.
Sun Mo cast a glance at the queen bee while silently wondering if the taste buds of this bee had a problem.
(Usually speaking, springwater would contain a trace of sulfur, right? Forget it, let’s just leave this place first.)
“Little Silver, construct a teleportation gate.”
Sun Mo instructed.
The eight-gate cloud immediately flew over. After that, it was like an inflated balloon and started swelling up to three times its size. It then suddenly let out its breath and spat out a multi-colored cloud.
The cloud landed on the ground and transformed into a glowing gate.
Above the gate, there was an ancient character.
“Isn’t that the word for ‘open’? Is it the gate of opening?”
Liu Mubai grabbed this chance to display his profound knowledge. However, the attention of everyone was already drawn to that cloud gate.
“That’s right, it’s the gate of opening of the eight-gate cloud.”
Sun Mo was very satisfied. This gate, along with the ‘gate of life’ and ‘gate of rest’ were the three auspicious gates. This omen was a good one. “Alright, quickly enter it!”
“Xinhui, you should leave first!”
Liu Mubai wanted to display his gentlemanly manner.
“I will leave last. Murong, you go first!”
As the headmaster, An Xinhui naturally had to be the last to leave.”
Murong Mingyue shook her head. She wanted to be together with Sun Mo.
“You guys should stop vying with each other.”
Sun Mo urged. He grabbed Murong Mingyue’s shoulder and pushed her into the teleportation gate. “Sister Jin, you are the second one.”
Jin Mujie also couldn’t be bothered to argue. She snuck a glance at Sun Mo and walked toward the teleportation gate.
Sun Mo touched Murong Mingyue but didn’t touch her. This meant that their relations.h.i.+p was not as close in comparison. This caused her to be a little disappointed.
Actually, Jin Mujie was mistaken. Sun Mo treated Murong Mingyue as a good friend, so he had no other thoughts about her. But he really had the hots for Jin Mujie’s honey peach-like figure.
In order to avoid losing control, it was best for him to have less bodily contact with her.
“Teacher Liu, you are the third!”
After Sun Mo finished instructing, a sense of crisis rose in his heart. After that, the sound of wind breaking rang out.
“Enemy attack!”
Sun Mo shouted. He quickly pushed Jin Mujie who was preparing to fight. “Sister Jin, ignore this and quickly leave.”
At this moment, the person who dared to launch an attack would definitely be a formidable enemy.
The sound of wind breaking was caused by several peas being shot over rapidly.
“Which coward is it?”
Liu Mubai pulled out his sword and slashed at one of the peas.
At the next moment, he discovered that his precise sword technique had failed him. Upon coming in contact with the sword, the pea instantly exploded and produced a large number of vines that resembled pythons as they sought to entangle him.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
Liu Mubai continuously retreated as he slashed the vines. However, this plant was too tough and his sword actually had no way to cut them.
An instant later, Liu Mubai was entangled fully.
“You guys leave first!”
Since he was caught, he would sacrifice himself. Hence, Liu Mubai actually lunged outward and wanted to bring all the vines away with him.
Sadly, although his courage wasn’t bad, he was too naive.
Pak! Pak! Pak!
Over ten peas landed on the ground and exploded in the blink of an eye, filling the area with vines. Many of the bees were directly crushed to death by the dense vines.
Great Invincibility!
Swish~
Sun Mo’s body instantly glowed with golden light.
Myriad Sword Sound Unison!
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Sword qi gushed rampantly and severed those vines. After that, Sun Mo drew in a deep breath and exhaled.
Scorching Dragon Breath!
Hu~
The scorching flames instantly engulfed the place. Everywhere it pa.s.sed by, everything was incinerated.
“Xinhui, leave quickly!”
Sun Mo launched a kick at Liu Mubai and kicked him into the teleportation gate.
Many of those male bees the size of a fist also died from the flames and emitted cracking noises.
Ji!
The queen bee cried a few times and ripples visible to the naked eye could be seen in the air. The flames and vines were ‘crushed’ by the ripples, and the entire place started shaking,
“You first!”
An Xinhui’s expression was heavy. The enemy was very strong, so she wanted to guard the rear.
“Don’t argue.”
Sun Mo urged.
“No one should think about leaving!”
A cold snort rang out from outside the door leading to this place. After that, green mist filled the air as another large batch of peas was fired in. They then expanded and germinated.
“Little Silver, flee quickly.”
Sun Mo roared.
Huala~ Huala~
The teleportation gate was about to be entwined by the plants. Luckily, Little Silver managed to soar into the air with extreme speed. If not, it would have been caught.
“Master, flee quickly. It’s the grand elder!”
The queen bee transmitted a mental message to Sun Mo and fled swiftly.
This enemy had come and stolen honey from her several times. This was why it knew him.
This aboriginal was someone extremely powerful and had even mastered strange divine techniques as well as the usage of secret medicines. It was very tough to deal with him.
“If I die, you will die too.”
Sun Mo was speechless. However, he didn’t blame the queen bee. It had just become a battle pet and still didn’t understand its situation. In fact, even the scarab chose to temporarily hide away.
There was no solution to it. Sun Mo and An Xinhui were already caught.
“Human, we meet again!”
The Greenhaze Elder entered. After his eyes swept past the queen bee who was flying away, his gaze landed on the teleportation gate. “I didn’t expect you to actually have such a good thing.”
Pak!
The teleportation gate shattered into flowing clouds and vanished in the air.
“We can actually cooperate!”
Sun Mo’s expression was calm, but he was sighing in his heart. He knew that they were in very dire straits now.
Indeed, coming to adventure when you weren’t strong enough would cause you to be surrounded by perils.
“You can even subdue a queen bee and once again cause me to look at you in a new light.”
The elder clicked his tongue. “There’s no need for cooperation. Just peacefully become my slave! Naturally, if your performance is good, I will give you the treatment equivalent to a tribesman.”
“Hehe!”
Sun Mo smiled bitterly. His current bargaining chips were insufficient to use in this situation. After all, the elder definitely had ways to force him to reveal his secrets.
Sigh!
He had no idea what the status of that green-skinned female in the tribe was. Maybe she could take care of him? After all, he had saved her life before.
“This human female was very worried about you earlier and was willing to let you escape first. You guys probably have a very close relations.h.i.+p, right?”
The elder was complacent.. With a hostage in hand, there was no need to be afraid that Sun Mo wouldn’t compromise.
