Chapter 312: 8.39 First Blue Star - Inside the Beehive
Qu Yeon and the rest of the team had successfully infiltrated the beehive. The interior of the hive is quite surprisingly beautiful and unique. The honeycomb was covered in tinted filmed windows where one could see what is outside but those from the other side could not see what is inside. There are numerous bee-type zergs flying inside the hive. They vary in size and color.
The moment everyone enters inside they"ve avoided b.u.mping into any of these bees and walk inside in invisible mode. Unless they directly attacked anything inside the hive, no one would notice their tracks. They have seen different honeycombed shaped entrances that lead to different branches within the area. According to the map they possessed, these entrances would lead to different parts within the hives.
With the plan they all had agreed on, everyone had to move separately at this point. Feng Jing stood in front of the largest hole and communicated with everyone through their group connection within their light brains.
Feng Jing: I will be going this way. Follow the plan accordingly. I wish you all luck.
Feng Wu: Please be careful my lord.
Qu Yeon: I will try to work on it as fast and secretly as I can.
Solaris Vega: Leader, please use the spare explosive I"ve given to you in case of emergency!
Lin Yven: They might have storage or a warehouse here. I will also visit that place to replenish our resources.
Bai Yuyan: Xiao Jing, keep your life as the top priority.
Han Ling: Boss, hehehe~ enjoy yourself.
Qu Yul: We will do as planned. Please tread carefully.
Si Shen and Wu Liu: We pray for your good luck.
Feng Jing: Do your best and increase your strength and level. I will wait for you to grow.
Only then did the young lord of Feng disappear in front of them. They knew he had entered the largest path which directs to the Queen Bee"s chambers. That was his destination and they knew with their current strength they wouldn"t be able to lend him any strength.
Seeing the true leader of their group left each of them split into pairs. They"ve entered different paths to complete their task. Now they only need to place the explosives at a certain area which would result in the complete destruction of the beehive where the bee-type zergs live. The ones who headed to the four-guard bees chambers were Feng Wu and Bai Yuyan, Qu Yeon and Tang Si, Tang Yi and Tang San lastly are Xue Ran and Solaris Vega while the rest of the team only need to scatter the explosives in the hive while Han Ling and Qu Yul"s group together with their guides, Si Shen and Wu Liu, had to make distractions to pulled out as many bees as they could and run out of the beehive.
At the rear entrance of the hive, Han Ling and Qu Yul deactivated their invisibility armor. Their sudden appearance inside the hive incurs loud screams from the bee zergs.
Han Ling waves his spears and destroys the parts of the hive which won"t affect the main pillars.
"Hahaha~ this will be fun. Come and attack me, bugs!!!" shouted Han Ling while throwing some random slashes inside the hive.
KRRIIEEK! RIEEK!! KRRIEEEEK!!!
Qu Yul, who was holding a sword in his hand, had to squeeze his temples upon seeing his childhood friend acting like this. Though being a decoy is their team"s job they still need to secure their escape route. Thankfully, the two guides who keep themselves hidden secured this path in secret. Unlike the two Sentinels, they do not need to directly engage with the battle but they are supporting them from behind while protecting their escape route.
Han Ling and Qu Yul, surrounded by Bee-type zergs of low levels, protect each other"s backs. They need to eliminate as many low-level zergs and pull the hatred of middle-ranked ones before running away.
The sound of clashing and fighting as well as Han Ling"s laughing and the zerg"s cries mix in the area. Si Shen and Wu Liu held an energy gun each while supporting their sentinels in the gaps of their fighting. More than hundreds of low-leveled bee zergs attack the two at the same time but as a Sentinel with S cla.s.s potential even if they are only A-cla.s.s right now as long as they fight enough and gather as much experience they could, they should be able to increase their levels. This is the reason why Qu Yeon and the other seniors gave the decoy task to their team. This is to push the limits of their potential.
The commotion made by Han Ling"s group at the entrance let almost all the low-leveled bee zergs run out of their houses and fly over the entrance to protect their hive. What they didn"t know was that few humans had already invaded their honeycombs.
Lin Yven tasked him to steal the resources in the zerg"s warehouse. To do that he acted as an a.s.sa.s.sin and immediately eliminated the two bees guarding the storage room. His movements were agile, fast, and precise. His daggers only need a second to behead the two guards. These two low-leveled bees zerg didn"t even know how they died. Two bee heads roll in front of the warehouse door.
Lin Yven murmured, "Thankfully only two low-level ones are guarding the door or I will have to use explosives to kill them off."
Then he raised his vigilance as he lightly pushed the warehouse doors and threw a sleeping gas inside. This sleeping gas is homemade by their genius mechanic, Solaris Vega. He also borrowed one of his small drones and threw it inside as well. While keeping himself in invisibility mode, he tapped on his light brain and checked at the recordings picked up by the small camera drone.
Lin Yven let out a sigh when he saw a few shadow-type bee zergs littering on the ground asleep.
"These zergs are quite smart. They have special abilities to merge with the shadows. Thankfully I threw in a sleeping gas that could even knock out a high-level zerg. I have to list this contribution under Xiao Vega"s name. His gadgets look simple but deadly useful. No wonder the leader likes him quite a lot." mumbled Lin Yven as he once again pulled out his daggers and entered the warehouse with a gas mask on his face. He entered inside to finish off the sleeping shadow guards before he could collect everything inside.
Once Lin Yven entered the warehouse he closed it from behind after dragging in the two headless zergs inside together with their detached heads. He even had time to clean up the green blood traces at the entrance. Afterward, he took his sweet time collecting everything inside the storage. Meanwhile, at the Bee Guards Chambers, the four pairs entered the room. Only to be startled to see four sleeping high-level black armored bee zergs. They were curling in their sleep as if hibernating.
The eight people who unexpectedly meet inside some arena-like room with four huge bees curling at the center had no other choice but to communicate with their central link with their light brains.
Qu Yeon: To think that the four guardians are sleeping in the same place.
Tang Si: This state. Are they sleeping shortly or hibernating?
Tang San: What"s the use of them sleeping like this? It"s not like they are training their spiritual energy as a guide does.
Feng Wu: There"s a movement in spiritual qi in this place. All were converging at the center.
Bai Yuyan: Don"t tell me they could train their spiritual qi as human guides do?!
At this comment those who knew that guides took a meditative stance like in a state of sleep to train their spiritual energy had all their faces turned cold and dark. If these insect aliens could really do such things means that even a Guardian Cla.s.s Zerg was achieved by a promoted High-Cla.s.s Zerg and A Royal Cla.s.s can be achieved by a promoted guardian cla.s.s zerg. Aren"t these Zergs almost like humans then!?
Solaris Vega: Senior Ran, what should we do?
Xue Ran: Let"s complete our tasks first before talking about this thing.
Qu Yeon and the rest pulled out their weapons whether it was blades or guns everything was pulled out. Only Solaris Vega brought out a big drone from his storage.
Solaris Vega: Just in case let me put them to real sleep and get them paralyzed.
Everyone watched as the big drone flew over the four bee guard zergs and sprinkle powder-like substance on them. These powders were immediately absorbed into the bodies of the zerg and took effect in mere a few seconds.
Tang San: These things are really effective. Where did you get it, Junior?
Solaris Vega: Lord Jing gave it to me. He said that his clan"s laboratory had made too messy things and the elders didn"t know what to do with it. The leader took all of it in this compet.i.tion and gave some to me.
Hearing this reply rendered everyone speechless they couldn"t help but move their heads and look at Feng Wu who might know the real events that took place in the Feng Household.
Feng Wu: My lord secretly invaded the dean"s warehouses and stole some personal concoctions and brought it all in this event to see the effect of it. Don"t worry what he gave Vega are those non-lethal ones.
Bai Yuyan: So there are lethal ones?
Feng Wu: ...
Tang Yi: Hahaha~ I never expected Lord Jing to be this naughty.
Tang San: He isn"t that much different from us in this case. We also stole some of the old men"s personal weapons for this event.
Tang Yi: Yeon also took some armors in the Qu Clan"s warehouse on the night before the event! I helped him lookout.
Qu Yeon: Cough! Shss~ don"t tell them that, Si"er.
Everyone started laughing as they already knew that these things inside the room were put to deep sleep even if they talk loudly they would no longer wake up unless the effect of the powders was lost.
Qu Yeon: Okay. Let"s finish our tasks first as those brats had already made a commotion but the entrance.
Everyone: Okay.
Meanwhile at the Queen Bee"s chamber.
Feng Jing had already long removed his invisibility mode the moment he entered the path towards the Queen"s chamber. He immediately either froze or burns all the zergs he b.u.mps too. They were all helpless because of the huge difference in strength. Now behind him, countless ice statues and piles of ashes can be seen. He was even humming as he walked calmly in the dark corridors of the zerg"s house.
Humming happily as he walks slowly. Besides Feng Jing are holographic livefeed/s that show the events of the children of his teammates. He had tasked the subsystem of Yue with him to do it. In short, he could see everything that was happening inside the beehive. This is thanks to the miniature drones he got from Solaris Vega. He had scattered it the moment they entered inside the hive.
Feng Jing, "Hm~ Han Ling is enjoying his job too much. If Si Shen isn"t there with him he would most likely use his special ability. Qu Yul is silent as always but his precision is not bad. Si Shen and Wu Liu"s control over their spiritual energy is increasing as well. They might level up after a few more pushes.
Eh? Lin Yven took everything in the Beehive"s Warehouse. Since when did he have that many storage devices on him? Pfft! He looks like a locust cleaning up the grain farm not even leaving a single grain.
Un? These brats are to compliance. They"ve been in the enemy"s territory and dared to lower their guards just because their main targets have been successfully put to sleep. They didn"t even notice a real threat watching them in secret. To think there is a real Guardian Cla.s.s Zerg in this hive. We might have hit the jackpot for the second time. Must be because the protagonist shou is with us. His golden halo is too active lately. Well,~ A"Ming is there. No need to worry they wouldn"t die at least."
Seeing the huge black door in front of him, Feng Jing"s face was covered with an exciting smile.
"If there"s a guardian cla.s.s zerg it means there should be a royal or at least a semi-royal cla.s.s zerg living here~" murmured Feng Jing as he lightly pushed the huge door in front of him effortlessly as if the thousand tons door is weightless.
