But the queen bee is very cunning, and she knows very well that at the same speed, her strength will definitely not be enough to fight against it. So with a flick of his tail, he flew into the air, and Du Yuhan, who was a melee professional, could only stand at the bottom and stare dryly.

Although she can dodge melee attacks, Queen Bee is a live target when she flies into the air.

Heywood, who had been paying attention to the dynamics of the battlefield, gently hooked the corners of his mouth, and with a slight release of his fingers that were tightly hooking the bowstring, the arrows shot straight towards the queen bee with a surging fighting spirit. The queen bee was attracted by Du Yuhan at her feet, and although she quickly flashed to the side at the last moment to avoid the fatal position, she was still hit by a bow and arrow, and one of her forewings was pierced by a feather arrow.

The queen bee's body, which had lost a pair of wings, fell suddenly, and only when it was about to fall into Du Yuhan's attack range did it fall crookedly and rise again.

The wounded queen bee stared at Heywood in the distance, her compound eyes were fierce, and she rushed towards him with the last of her strength, quite in the posture of dying together.

"Hmph, I can't help myself." Heywood, who didn't pay attention to it at all, pursed his lips disdainfully, quickly pulled out a feathered arrow, his hind legs bent back slightly, his center of gravity shifted downward, his longbow was tightened, and his falcon-like eyes were staring at the queen bee's flight trajectory.

"Buzz! ——”

With a sound of breaking through the air, the off-string feather arrow did not even leave any trace in the air, as if it had come to the queen bee in an instant. Queen Bee was shocked, but she was powerless to go back, and could only watch as the pitch-black arrows pierced through her body.

"Squeak!" With a scream, the queen bee struggled a few times before falling hard.

"Huh......" Seeing that the queen bee fell to the ground and stopped moving, Du Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief.

I was really careless just now, thinking that Cordyceps repellent could stun most of the black bees, but I didn't expect that the queen bee of the higher rank would not be affected.

"Are you alright?" Du Yuhan walked over to Kevin's side and looked up and down.

"I'm fine." Kevin covered his hands over the other's wounds and began to help him heal.

"Cut, in the end, it still depends on Young Master Ben to get it done." Heywood walked slowly from a distance, carrying a longbow.

"Yes, yes, thank you young master for saving your life." Rolling his eyes angrily, Du Yuhan patted the dirt on his body and walked towards the beehive.

After solving the bee that was still struggling on the ground with a sword, and carefully probing to make sure that there was no danger, Du Yuhan couldn't wait to squat down. He took out a few ceramic jars, and with Kevin's help, he laboriously moved the hive to control all the brown and translucent honey into the jars, which filled two large jars.

Honey, sweet and pure honey!

Even if it's not for drinking, brush some on the surface when grilling, and that taste......

Watching Du Yuhan start peeling bee chrysalis from the hive with great interest, Heywood felt that this white chubby bug was a little disgusting. "Is this really edible?"

Du Yuhan glanced at him, "I don't know, this thing is a treasure." ”

He pointed to the black bee that had fainted, "Hey, these bees can be used to make wine, they can invigorate blood and dispel dampness, which is very good for human joints." ”

Then he pinched the white and tender bee chrysalis in his hand that was still struggling, "These pupae can be fried and eaten, although they don't look good, but they are rich in protein——"

"What is protein?" Kevin, who had studied medicinal herbs a little, asked curiously.

“…… It means that it is nutritious, and eating it is good for fighting spirit. Afraid that the explanation would not be clear, Du Yuhan continued to bury his head in peeling bee chrysalis.

"Oh?" I didn't expect this ugly little insect to actually improve his fighting spirit, although he was suspicious in his heart, Heywood still hurriedly squatted down to help peel the hive.

***************

With the trio working together, the huge hive was quickly dismembered.

Looking at the hive that was peeled clean, Du Yuhan was very satisfied.

"Can this hive be eaten?" Seeing that Du Yuhan didn't mean to take away the hive, Heywood couldn't help but ask.

The disgusting Barra bugs in it can improve their fighting spirit, so this thing is so big, it should be several levels higher after eating it, right?

"Nope." Du Yuhan shook his head regretfully. Although he also knew that the hive was a good thing, the current situation did not allow him to take it, so he had to leave it at the entrance of the cave.

Kevin, who had already cleaned up, curiously touched the cave wall blocked by the beehive. This feels like a hard and cold stone, but why does it have a fluffy touch?

As an inscription artist himself, Kevin has a certain amount of research on ores, but in the materials he has seen and the books he has read before, there is no mention of this half-tree and half-stone mineral.

He pulled out his dagger and scraped it back and forth on the surface of the rock formation, scratching a notch, and he leaned over to examine it carefully. From the cut surface of the notch, except for the surface is still a layer of dark blue ore, the second layer is still dark gray wood, the color is no different from the large trunk of the tree coiled around the roof of the cave.

Could it be that this tree grew on top of this ore? And instead of what they thought at the beginning the big tree turned into a rock?

How do rocks provide nutrients to this tree?

Without roots, how can this tree absorb energy?

Questions kept popping up in Kevin's mind, and finally he decided to tell Du Yuhan about his thoughts.

After pondering for a moment, he was also full of curiosity about this strange tree.

Obviously, he had already solved all the black bees at the entrance of the cave, why was there still a faint tinnitus in his ears? It's like a weird sound wave that keeps coming out of the hole, making people feel dizzy.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, since I took off the hive, the tinnitus seems to be stricter.

So I decided to move the beehive blocked at the entrance of the cave and check the inside.

The entrance of the cave is very large, about one person high up and down, the probe goes in, there seems to be some material that will absorb light, the sunlight outside does not shine into the cave at all, the inside is pitch black, you can't see the five fingers, you can't see the depth.

Du Yuhan walked cautiously ahead, and with the help of the ball of light in Kevin's hand, he cautiously explored inside.

The cave is not deep, but it stretches all the way down. The silence in the cave was terrible, and the path became narrower and narrower. Except for a few bees that escaped from the smoke at the entrance of the hole, the road was very clean, and there was not even a single reptile.

This discovery made Du Yuhan's doubts bigger and bigger.

Maybe the honeycomb at the door makes it impossible for other beasts to enter, but there's no reason why even a cockroach can't climb in, right? Unless......

Unless what's inside poses a huge threat to other creatures.

"Did you notice...... It seems that the more you go, the more your ears are blocked? Kevin, who walked in the middle, frowned, showing a worried look.

"I found out too." Heywood unconsciously plucked his ears.

The further you go inside, the more your ears feel like they're blocked by a ball of cotton, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. Du Yuhan has tried this feeling before, it was the experience of taking off and landing, and the change in air pressure when taking off and landing was caused by the conflict with the pressure inside the human body.

But they haven't gone far now, how can there be such a pressure difference?

The fighting spirit in Du Yuhan's body was slightly agitated, although he still had a little tinnitus, he felt much more comfortable.

Don't...... What's inside also inspires vindictiveness?

The adventurous factor continued to play tricks in his body, and Du Yuhan's curiosity reached its peak at this moment. He couldn't help but speed up, wanting to uncover the secret of the tree hole. Because he was in a hurry to move forward, he didn't notice that the bracelet on his hand began to emit a faint blue light.

After walking about twenty meters, suddenly, a little light appeared at the end of the tree hole. The intensity is not dazzling, but in this dark cavern, it is very eye-catching.

The three of them quickened their pace, and finally came to the ...... of the light source Ten meters away.

It's not that they don't want to move on, it's that the things inside constantly exude a disgusting vindictive spirit, which doesn't hurt, but it's very uncomfortable to get closer.

But this distance is enough for them to see the true face of that "thing" clearly.

Deep inside the cavern, the inky blue deposits were stacked with clusters of crystals, each as thick as an adult's arm, emitting a turquoise glow in the pitch black.

The color of the ore starts from the bottom, the tip is blue and white with a little green, and in the middle it becomes a faint blue, and in the center the color is constantly changing in dark red and dark purple, and the whole space is illuminated with brilliance, which is very gorgeous.

"It's ...... What stone? Du Yuhan asked uncertainly.

Also speechless by the shock of the scene in front of him, Kevin said uncertainly: "If I'm not mistaken, this is Fengmu Shi." ”

"Wind Wood Stone?"

"Well, but ......" Kevin frowned.

"What's wrong?"

“…… It's nothing. He shook his head. According to the book, Fengmu Stone is a blue-white ore that emits a pale white light, how can it have such a bright light? Kevin was puzzled.

"Does this stone do anything?" Heywood asked eagerly.

"Hmm...... I think I know what it's for. Du Yuhan silently raised his wrist.

"Huh?" The other two looked at his left hand in amazement.

The white bracelet had always been worn on Du Yuhan's hand, but they never knew what it was for.

But now, the small square frame embedded in the surface of the bracelet shone with a dazzling light, and the color of the light continued to change with the color of the center of the wind wood mine.

"What's going on?" Heywood looked at the colorful bracelet for some reason, he was a battle maniac, but he didn't study much about ores and the like.

Du Yuhan turned his head to look at Kevin, "This should be the energy ore you mentioned before, right?" ”

Kevin smiled and nodded, "That's right." ”

In this world, all objects will have a certain amount of energy, and because the internal structure of different objects is different, the energy properties and size inside will be different.

The energy of some objects is relatively mild and does not repulse the human body, and this energy can be transformed and absorbed by living beings, such as the alchemist's elixir. Although some objects are rich in energy, their internal structure determines that this ability cannot be absorbed by the human body, but it can be infused into weapons to increase attack power, such as the magic cores of various magical beasts.

However, the wind wood stone is a special kind of existence.

It can be absorbed by certain objects, but it will repel most objects.

This means that if the energy of Fengmu Stone is forcibly fused into the weapon regardless of the repulsion of attributes, not only will it not increase the attack power, but will cause the weapon's attributes to decrease, or even damage.

Because of the high collection requirements and chicken attributes, Fengmu Stone is not popular in the mercenary market.

Heywood smacked his lips as he looked at the pile of ore, and had wanted to get it to the weapon, but now it seemed unlikely.

But for Du Yuhan, it is good news.

Maya, so many wind, wood and stones, enough for him to use for several years, how could he be a high-level modeler at that time, right?

Is it mutually exclusive to worry?

Dwarf oil, his bracelet is about to flash blind, will there be this problem?

thought that in the future, he could use his identity as a model artist to kill the Quartet, create history, and reach the pinnacle of his life...... Forget it, let's think about how to get out of this wetland alive.
