Chapter 16 Hornet Nest (4000-word chapter)

Seeing several crazy dragon-level people coming towards each other, Xiuen and Xiaoye became nervous and at a loss to start tidying up their clothes. Even Xiaoan, who followed the master, was a little surprised. Although the master knew Xiuen and Xiaoye, she did not expect that the teacher would go and say hello specifically!

Jessica came to the front of several people, nodded to Xiuen and Xiaoye first, and then looked at Zhao Qiankun: "So you know each other?"

As soon as these words were said, the people were a little confused. Hearing this, the leader Jessica seemed to know Zhao Qiankun.

"Beauty knows me?" Zhao Qiankun smiled. Although this Jessica is over 40 years old, she has a dignified demeanor and delicate facial features. Especially those who are proficient in life magic, she is generally good at maintaining her body. Although she is not young, she looks much younger and still shines.

But even so, the name of beauty is a bit abrupt. Xiuen and Xiaoye hurriedly pulled his sleeves, but Jessica didn't care, just smiled and nodded: "How come I don't know the master of the Death Scythe alone? I've seen your photos on the day you reached the Crazy Dragon level!"

"Mad...Mad Dragon Level?" Xiu En, Xiao Ye and Xiao An looked at Zhao Qiankun with disbelief: "You... are you the legendary super expert who captured the Death Scythe alive?"

Old Zhao shrugged his shoulders and laughed: "I want to be low-key, but this strength does not allow it... This is still something that makes people recognize. Why? The leader of the group came to me if he has something to do?"

"I'm just here to meet my future colleagues..." Jessica raised her head slightly and laughed: "Although you may have heard of me, I'd better introduce myself... My name is Jessica, the leader of the Red Moon Adventure Group. This forest elf is called Violet, the chief archer and deputy leader of my group, and this is named Jueying, the chief scout of our group!"

"Vierly?" Zhao Qiankun couldn't help but look at the forest elf more, and suddenly remembered the armed battle meeting in Karentis last year, and immediately grinned: "So it's you!"

Violey frowned and tilted her head to look at Zhao Qiankun: "Have we seen it?"

"No..." Zhao Qiankun smiled and waved his hand, then patted the dragon hunting gun on his waist: "I heard that you are a very powerful archer. It happens that I am also a archer. If you have time to compete, is your arrow faster or my gun faster?"

The proud forest elves raised his head slightly and snorted coldly: "Don't underestimate the forest elves' bows and arrows. Our magical archery is not comparable to that of magic props!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhao Qiankun responded casually, and Jueying on the side suddenly asked, "You are the adventurer who captured the Death Scythe alive... Then did you pass near the Big Net Canyon when you came back from the Orange Garden?"

Zhao Qiankun was about to say that was of course, but he instantly realized that this woman was messing with him. The big black hand they encountered was near the Big Net Canyon, which was keen enough...

"Dawang Canyon? Are the same as the orange garden?" Lao Zhao smiled and said, "I just arrived not long ago. The surrounding environment is not very familiar, so I really didn't pay attention to it..."

Jueying frowned and stopped talking.

"Okay, I'll leave first if I have nothing to do!" Old Zhao laughed and patted the bullet bag on his waist: "There is still a mission waiting for me! Worship everyone!"

He was about to leave as he said that.

"I'll give you a piece of advice..." Jessica suddenly called him: "I know you are very strong and confident, but Qiongluo Island has ruined too many strong men... If you have the chance, you should join a powerful team. Next, you will face more severe challenges!"

"Severe challenge? That's good!" Zhao Qiankun smiled: "What I look forward to most is the severe challenge!"

After saying that, Lao Zhao pushed open the door and left.

According to the task description, the hornet honeycomb was about 550 kilometers southeast of Tianqiong City. Zhao Qiankun walked out of the wallless gate to the east. Before he walked far, he jumped up and used the power of the golden-winged roc, and flew all the way!

If it is only a distance of dozens of kilometers, it is not enough to use the power of the Golden-winged Roc. It is uncomfortable to fall, accelerate and decelerate together. However, Lao Zhao can control these hundreds of kilometers of distances. If the distance is enough, it will give enough buffer for acceleration and deceleration, which is not as painful as short-distance flight.

In this way, Lao Zhao soared into the air, controlled the speed smoothly, and rushed all the way. In less than half an hour, he arrived near the location on the task instructions.

Zhao Qiankun slowly slowed down and cushioned, but the final landing was still a bit ugly. He was about to fall to the ground and had a bruised face. Fortunately, he saw a huge Crescent Lake, so he hurriedly adjusted his direction and plunged into the lake!

Zhao Qiankun floated onto the lake with his hands and feet and took out a task description. This explanation was made of paper made of special materials, with good waterproof performance and no writing was spent.

"It's here!" Lao Zhao checked the map attached to the instructions, and he smiled: "Next, I don't know where the unlucky hive is..."

But at this moment, a sudden movement at the bottom of the lake, waves rose on the water surface, and a huge gray figure rushed towards Zhao Qiankun!

Although it was a sudden attack, Zhao Qiankun's dynamic vision could still see the whole picture of the monster clearly.

A slender body, a huge head, a big mouth full of sharp teeth, and a smooth skin... This is a salamander as big as a crocodile!

Amphibians?

That’s right, in addition to insects and other arthropods, some primitive vertebrates are also present on the island of Funeral Island, such as amphibians, fish and some primitive reptiles. However, after losing their size advantage, these species are far less likely to be as good as arthropods…

"You said you were so frustrated that you had been living in a bad situation. Now you're finally getting back to hunting, why are you still falling in love with me?" Old Zhao shook his head, regretted the monster, and raised his hand...

At this moment, with a loud buzzing sound, a huge black shadow flew past, grabbed the big salamander in the air and flew to the sky!

Zhao Qiankun looked up and saw a huge wasp, six or seven meters long, grabbing the big salamander, with its wings several meters long on its back vibrated at high speed, and flew into the woods with strong wind pressure.

"Tiger bee!" Zhao Qiankun looked at the picture book in the mission description: "It's really a place to search for it without any effort!"

Zhao Qiankun laughed, jumped to the shore, and raised his legs to chase the huge tiger bee.

Following the huge tiger bee, he chased into the depths of the jungle. Soon, Zhao Qiankun saw the legendary beehive!

This was a bit beyond his expectations...

To be honest, there are also many bee insects near Tianqiong City, such as the bees that help them convey messages, and like small relatives in other continents, bees that pick flowers and make honey, etc.

However, the small ones may be the size of a palm, and the large ones are about the same size as the big dog. The hives they build are usually several dozen meters in size, and are usually buzzing on a thick giant tree trunk, looking normal and harmonious in proportion to the giant tree.

But this is different. The legendary tiger bee, whose huge physique, is destined to be very majestic.

The hive of the tiger bee is not hung on a tree, but is hanging among several giant trees. The hive is erected ellipsoidal, estimated to be two or three hundred meters long, almost hanging from the canopy to a few dozen meters above the ground, and is nearly two hundred meters wide, almost filling the gaps in the several giant trees, with only a few thick nest shanks connected. The hive is wrapped by the outer wall of dry soil, and only some passages for tiger bee to enter and exit. It looks like a mountain hanging between giant trees, which is very majestic.

"That's it!" Zhao Qiankun smiled on his face. According to the task instructions, the hive is similar to the hornet's nest. It has a layered structure. Each layer is a huge hexagonal mesh structure, and the larvae of the tiger bee are stuffed in the compartment. But these are not the task goals, and the task wants him to bring back eggs!

The eggs are produced by the queen bee and are placed in the beehive and hatched into larvae. These larvae are taken care of by the worker bee and fed by the worker bee. After they grow up, they will divide the labor and grow into worker bee, or hunting bee that goes out for food... The kind that Zhao Qiankun just saw is the hunting bee, which is the largest, strongest and most ferocious tiger bee. The name of the tiger bee should describe this kind of hunting bee.

According to the task instructions, the worker bee of a tiger bee will place its eggs in the center of the beehive, and will be in the hive closest to the queen. After hatching, the worker bee will gradually move to the surrounding area until it becomes an adult, and it can fly away from the nest immediately.

Therefore, it is actually very difficult to get bee eggs. Normally, you must go deep into the center of the bee nest and come to the back of the bee. Although the publisher pays for this task according to the number of bee eggs, in fact, this is not a collection task. If you can take one, you can take ten or one hundred, as long as you need to go in first...

"How to do it?" Several solutions flashed through Zhao Qiankun's mind.

First, he threw hundreds of burst fireballs and burned the big honeycomb. He remembered that there was a way to burn the hornet's nest with fire in his previous life... Although this honeycomb was a bit big, considering that his burst fireball would increase its power on the island of the dome, it would not take long to burn it... But the problem is that if the insect eggs were burned to death, it would not work...

Second, rushed in, snatched the inside all the way, and snatched out the worm eggs! However, after looking at the beehive flying around the beehive, and the bee stinger that was longer than the big sword, Lao Zhao felt that this move was not safe. If so many tiger bees were not careful, if they were not careful, they would be stung for a while... Thinking of the pain of being stung by hornets in the previous life, Zhao Qiankun shuddered and decisively passed this plan.

Plan 3: Summon dozens of big hands, break the beehive open directly, and take out the bee eggs from it! This is more feasible, but unfortunately, if such a big beehive destroys the big nest, the tiger bee will probably be done.

Finally, there is plan 4. Summon 180 stone element messengers, rush into the beehive, and rob a few bee eggs one by one, and then run away! This is the best. The stone element has average attack power, but it is strong and durable. Robbery is the most suitable job for them!

Thinking of this, Zhao Qiankun decisively chose the fourth plan. With a snap, one three or four-meter-high stone element messenger grew on the ground behind him. There were hundreds of them. Just after he gave his order, he rushed into the beehive to burn, kill and rob.

But at this moment, a fight suddenly came from the hive...

Old Zhao immediately put down his hand, and saw a small hole suddenly breaking through the beehive. A figure holding a sword flew out. There were dozens of tiger bees following behind him, including three huge hunting bees, but more were still only three or four meters long, which was obviously much smaller than the worker bees!

Even though these worker bees do not compete in combat, they still have huge fangs and sharp bee stings, chasing them with great might and powerful force!

But the sword-holder in front was not panicked, and turned around in the air and waved his sword to fight! The fastest-flying hunting bee rushed over, intending to grab him with its claws. When the man flipped his wrist, several sword lights seemed to flash at the same time. The truck-sized hunting bee was dismantled in the air at eight pieces...

However, this social insect was not afraid when facing the invaders. The remaining tiger bees continued to rush forward, and the swordsman slashed the long sword. Before he could land, he killed all the tiger bees, leaving only a bunch of parts, which fell to the ground with him...

"Awesome!" Zhao Qiankun couldn't help but admire. This guy's swordsmanship was sharp and his strength was excellent. Not to mention his appearance, he didn't have so many fancy bees, but he could always accurately find the gaps in the shell of a tiger bee, and achieve the greatest destructive power with the smallest power. It can be said that the move was fatal, comparable to the magical skill of the cook Ding cut a cow!

"This is a master! This is definitely a master..." Old Zhao raised his hand to dissipate the many stone elements, "No wonder he dares to compete with me. This is because he has real kung fu!"

That's right, the swordsman who suddenly appeared was nothing else, but Xun Yiming who was fighting with Zhao Qiankun!

What Zhao Qiankun saw from him was not just swordsmanship. His ability to appear here was a powerful proof!

Even after taking on the mission before, Xun Yiming set out immediately. It would not be easy to get here more than 500 kilometers away within two days. This guy doesn't look like a mount, and the terrain of the Qiongluo Island is complex and full of monsters, but it is not as smooth as the Great Zhou. Even if it is an excellent team of adventurers, it is not easy to walk more than 100 kilometers a day. Xun Yiming rides alone and travels 300 kilometers a day, which indirectly proves his strength!

"You arrived very quickly!" Zhao Qiankun walked up and said hello. Xun Yiming turned around and immediately showed a surprised expression when he saw Zhao Qiankun: "I thought you would arrive tomorrow, but it was faster than I thought."

Old Zhao smiled and said, "It seems that you have already entered. How is it? What's going on inside? Is it easy to do?"

Xun Yiming shook his long sword and raised his head and said, "We seem to be competitors, do you think I will tell you?"
