Ch 644: Singing Emperor Bee Gu
Several people, upon hearing this, subconsciously looked towards the flower bud of the flower in front of them.
As Wan Yushan said, it was indeed purple.
Wan Yushan continued, “The flower juice of the Nine Yin Soul Severing Flower is incredibly toxic. Even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like me would die upon contact. In the past, many strong persons who entered the Mist Sea Forbidden Zone mistakenly identified it, leading to their loss of both people and wealth, dying here.”
Having said that, Wan Yushan slightly raised a hand, and a dagger appeared in his hand, flashing with cold light.
A scratch appeared on the stem of the Nine Yin Soul Severing Flower in front of them, and deep purple flower juice flowed down the stem onto the ground.
Fizz! Fizz!
The originally yellow-brown ground instantly emitted puffs of purple smoke, turning pitch-black.
“It really is!”
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, immediately stepping back two steps.
Ji Xingjian patted his chest, still feeling the lingering fear, and bowed to Wan Yushan, “Thank you, Senior Brother Wan, for your warning!”
The rest also praised, “Senior Brother Wan is truly knowledgeable!”
“Not at all.”
Wan Yushan waved his hand, humbly saying, “I’ve only been cultivating for a few more decades than you, so I know a little more than you.”
“But encountering the Nine Yin Soul Severing Flower isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I’ve heard that the Nine Yin Soul Severing Flower and the Wuyuan Flower are mutually antagonistic. If you find one of these two flowers, it means the other will be nearby.”
“Let’s search near this Nine Yin Soul Severing Flower; perhaps we can find the Wuyuan Flower.”
Hearing this, everyone became excited.
They immediately began to search near the Nine Yin Soul Severing Flower.
After an unknown amount of time.
“This is the real Wuyuan Flower!”
Wan Yushan looked towards an ancient tree with a surprised expression. On the gnarled roots exposed at the edge of the ancient tree, a translucent, glazed-like flower swayed in the wind, continuously emitting a radiance like moonlight amidst the thick fog.
He knelt down and carefully examined the flower bud. After confirming it was white and not a Nine Yin Soul Severing Flower, he carefully picked it and put it into his Storage Bag.
Just as he stood up, he suddenly noticed a seven-colored radiance on the ancient tree.
The source of the seven-colored radiance was a huge beehive.
“This is… a Resounding Emperor Bee Hive!”
Wan Yushan froze in place, staring for a moment, recognizing what it was.
“Senior Brother Wan, what is this Resounding Emperor Bee Hive?” Ji Xingjian curiously asked.
Wan Yushan’s face lit up, explaining, “This Resounding Emperor Bee Hive is dozens of times rarer than the Wuyuan Flower. The honey produced by the Resounding Emperor Bee Hive can help cultivators stabilize their realm and strengthen their Divine Soul. It’s invaluable; even Divine Transformation Stage Experts would covet it. However…”
He had only spoken halfway when he heard Ji Xingjian’s eager voice.
“Since it’s so precious, I’ll reluctantly accept it!”
Ji Xingjian formed hand seals, and a long sword flew out of his Storage Bag, immediately striking towards the Resounding Emperor Bee Hive on the ancient tree, attempting to knock it down.
Seeing this, Wan Yushan’s face changed, and he shouted, “Don’t do it!”
“This Resounding Emperor Bee Hive, being even rarer than the Wuyuan Flower, is naturally not without danger. The Resounding Emperor Bees living in the hive, when combined, are comparable to a Golden Core cultivator!”
The Resounding Emperor Bees living in the hive are generally considered docile fierce beasts; they won’t randomly attack people. You just need to avoid them when you notice them.
But the Resounding Emperor Bees have a reverse scale: their hive. If anyone dares to attack their hive, even if they only touch it lightly, the bees will relentlessly pursue and kill the attacker until they are dead.
Ji Xingjian’s action was undoubtedly inviting needless disaster.
Wan Yushan immediately spoke up the moment he saw it, but it was too late.
The flying sword struck the Resounding Emperor Bee Hive, and it fell smoothly from the ancient tree. But the next moment.
Buzz buzz buzz!
A deafening buzzing sound instantly erupted, almost piercing the eardrums of everyone present. Immediately afterward, countless Resounding Emperor Bees flew out of the hive.
Each Resounding Emperor Bee was the size of a fist, with black and yellow stripes on its abdomen, emitting a seven-colored halo. At the end of its tail was an extremely sharp stinger, flashing with cold light!
The Resounding Emperor Bee swarm looked at Ji Xingjian, the culprit, and moved instantly.
Their figures turned into streaks of light, reaching Ji Xingjian in the blink of an eye.
Ji Xingjian reacted quickly, immediately controlling his flying sword to slash a sword qi towards the Resounding Emperor Bee swarm.
Bang!
The sword qi struck the bodies of the Resounding Emperor Bee swarm, but their bodies only swayed slightly, without receiving any damage.
“How is this possible?”
Ji Xingjian’s face changed. He realized he had underestimated the Resounding Emperor Bee swarm. Now, it was too late to dodge.
The Resounding Emperor Bee swarm stuck to him, and their sharp stingers pierced through his clothes and into his flesh and blood.
“Aaah!”
Ji Xingjian let out a heart-wrenching scream.
His entire body visibly withered, turning into a mummy in less than two breaths.
Hum!
At the same time, several scattered Resounding Emperor Bees silently came to the sides of Wan Yushan and the others, raising their stingers to strike.
“Don’t let them get close; otherwise, your flesh and blood will be sucked away!”
Wan Yushan caught sight of a Resounding Emperor Bee’s figure from the corner of his eye, his heart tightened, and he immediately warned.
Immediately, a long sword flew out of his Storage Bag, attacking the Resounding Emperor Bee about to reach him.
Bang!
Cold light instantly scattered, and the seven-colored halo on the Resounding Emperor Bee dimmed slightly.
Chu Ran and the other three also immediately reacted, quickly using their skills to attack the Resounding Emperor Bees in front of them.
Under the combined attack of the five, these few Resounding Emperor Bees were finally killed.
“Aaah!”
At that moment, a scream echoed in everyone’s ears. A Resounding Emperor Bee was seen clinging to the arm of one of the cultivators.
This cultivator’s face instantly turned pale, as if all the blood had been drained from his body. He hurriedly raised his long knife to sweep away the Resounding Emperor Bee on his arm.
But the next moment.
A huge shadow, like one that could obscure the sky and sun, appeared, with countless Resounding Emperor Bees crammed together, terrifyingly numerous.
“Run!”
Wan Yushan’s face turned extremely grim. He quickly took out a talisman from his bosom, formed a hand seal, and threw it behind him.
The talisman landed on the ground, instantly emitting an extremely dazzling radiance.
Wan Yushan didn’t hesitate, immediately taking off running.
The remaining Chu Ran and the other three were terrified, immediately following suit.
The radiance emitted by the talisman only flickered for a moment before disappearing.
The Resounding Emperor Bee swarm surged out, flying towards Wan Yushan and the others with terrifying momentum.
Chu Ran and the others could only hear the buzzing sound of the Resounding Emperor Bees flying, but they didn’t dare even glance back.
They could only run forward with the fastest speed of their lives.
It was as if their bodies were running ahead, while their souls were being chased behind.
Chu Ran felt endless bitterness. He regretted coming to explore the Mist Sea Forbidden Zone. Not only did he not find the Wuyuan Flower, but now he was in a life-or-death situation.
After an unknown amount of time.
As they fled blindly, they had gradually moved away from the edge of the Mist Sea Forbidden Zone and into its depths.
Except for Wan Yushan, who still had some energy left.
The rest, Chu Ran and the others, felt that they were about to collapse and could no longer hold on.
But at that moment, something a few meters ahead instantly caught their attention.
It was a pond, its water surface shimmering with a faint black light, its depth unknown.
“I remember Resounding Emperor Bees are very afraid of water. Quickly go in!”
Wan Yushan took a deep breath, leading the way, leaping into the pond in front of them.
Chu Ran and the others, as if they had found a life raft, immediately jumped in after him.
