Chapter 234: Demonization Equals Mutation
At dawn the next day, Tianyou was awakened by a knock on the door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info's first reaction was to touch the quilt around him, and only after touching the emptiness did he put his mind at ease, and then he couldn't help but complain to himself: "I didn't do anything, what's the lack of heart?" shook his head and jumped off the bed, and shouted at the door: "Just come." ”
"God, how did you sleep until now? Aren't you usually the first to get up?" After entering the house, Da Hai sat down on the stool and said, but Zhao Gongming looked around like a thief, until he confirmed that there was no fourth person in the room, and then sat down with confidence.
"Eh, are you okay?" Zhao Gongming patted Tianyou and asked in a low voice: "No, it's the same another day, I don't mind waiting for a day or two." ”
"What's going on? What's wrong with Tianyou? Are you sick?" asked the huge sea for some reason.
"Don't be fooled. Tianyou said while completing the washing quickly: "I inquired about some new information last night, and the previous plan may have to be changed. ”
"God bless you, you went out again in the middle of the night?" asked the simple giant sea in surprise.
Zhao Gongming thought of Pandora he bumped into last night, of course he wouldn't point it out directly, after all, Tianyou was obviously interrupting, and he still didn't mention it.
"What news have you heard?" Zhao Gongming asked cooperatively following Tianyou's words.
Tianyou is not good at explaining the problem of the demon pill, it can only be said that someone wanted to solve this problem before, so he went to investigate it and confirmed that the wild bees were demonized by strong demon power, and now he suspects that there may be something like the demon pill in the hive.
Zhao Gongming, who only planned to help Tianyou divert the topic before, is really serious now. "Is this news reliable?"
Tianyou nodded.
Zhao Gongming became nervous all of a sudden. "Do you know how demonized those demon bees are now?"
This time, Tianyou chose to shake his head. "When the person who provided the information last checked, those demon bees were still in the state of beginner-level demon beasts, about seven or eight levels, but it had been two days...... Oh no, it should have been three days ago. ”
Zhao Gongming frowned and whispered: "My caravan once trafficked demon pills before, and a box containing demon pills knocked out a crack on the way, and everyone didn't know about it. Two days later, the horses pulling the cart were demonized, and the convoy of more than thirty people, including seven or eight guards, although they were all ordinary martial arts practitioners, could not be compared with us monks, but they were also good hands. In this way, in the end, it took three deaths and three injuries to get the demon horse. According to your information, this group of demon winds has been in contact with demon power for at least seven or eight days, and the three of us are afraid that it will be ......?"
"It's not seven or eight days, it's been more than half a month. ”
"What?" this time even the huge sea was shocked. "So how are we going to do it? How is this task defined? It's not something we can solve, is it?"
As he spoke, Tianyou had finished his work at hand, returned to the table and knocked on the table with his knuckles to attract the attention of the two. After the eyes of the two of them gathered on him, he said, "I just want you to be careful, as for whether the task can be completed...... This still needs to be seen at the scene. If you really can't do it, give up. ”
Ordinary disciples didn't dare to give up so casually after accepting the task, because the task of Zixiao Palace actually had a deposit. If you don't complete the task, or if you exceed the time limit, you will have to deduct contribution points, and this situation will also affect the disciple's rating within the sect, which will have a very serious impact on future development. Because of this, other disciples are very cautious in taking on tasks, and most people who are not sure whether they can complete the tasks are afraid to take them.
Of course, God bless this is an exception. Anyway, his task is also taken from a special channel, and even if he fails, there is no problem of deducting contribution points. However, if it can be completed, Tianyou still hopes to complete this task as much as possible. After all, so many props have been made, and it has been delayed for a day, so it will be a big loss if you don't finish the task.
Neither Panghai nor Zhao Gongming objected to Tianyou's decision, and after Tianyou had breakfast, they left the inn together. As for Panghai and Zhao Gongming, they had already had breakfast before they came to call Tianyou, and now it was actually almost 9 o'clock, which was really not early. According to the huge sea, Tianyou should have been woken up a long time ago, but because Zhao Gongming stopped him hard, it was delayed until now.
In fact, when he went out, Tianyou himself was also a little confused. His biological clock was very accurate, and it was quite rare to sleep until he was almost asleep, and he didn't know when Pandora was gone, which was a stranger thing than sleeping lazy.
Although there were some doubts, Tianyou did not delve into it. Now his attention is on the task.
There were spirit riders on their behalf, and the three of them quickly came to the vicinity of the mountain road where the bee colony was infested according to the information they had investigated yesterday. You barely have to look for it, you can hear the hum of an airplane engine from afar, and it gets louder and louder as you get closer.
Thanks to the annoying noise, the three of them didn't have to hide their whereabouts. Not to mention the sound of walking, even if the three of them shouted loudly, I am afraid that they will be covered by this terrifying sound of flapping wings.
Putting away the spirit horses, the three of them cautiously gradually approached the range of the bee colony, and then hid under a dense bush under the leadership of Tianyou.
"Damn, I should have listened to you change your clothes and come back. When he was drilling into the bushes, Zhao Gongming's robe was hooked in several places, and as a result, he tore it all into strips of cloth as soon as he used his strength. However, the huge sea next to him remembered Tianyou's suggestion before going to bed last night, and changed into a strong suit, at least it was not easy to be hung up.
Looking at Zhao Gongming, who was like a beggar, Tianyou couldn't help laughing out loud, and lightly hammered the leather armor on his chest. "Now that I know I regret it, don't look at my leather armor, it's much more practical than yours in terms of function. ”
"Brother Tianyou, I know it's wrong, can't I? I promise to listen to you next time. But I really can't get past the rest of the paragraph, and I'll have to go back naked after a little further drilling!"
"I didn't intend to let you pass. Tianyou generously explained, and asked Da Dahai and Zhao Gongming to wait for him here. The huge sea still wanted to follow, but was persuaded by Tianyou. "I'll definitely ask you for help with your hard work, it's really inappropriate for you to investigate this matter. ”
The helpless Huge Sea could only stay and wait with Zhao Gongming, letting Tianyou continue to climb forward alone.
Located close to the foot of the mountain, the terrain is not too rugged and the vegetation is quite dense. Tianyou hunched over the low vegetation until he rounded an adobe and finally saw a swarm of bees.
In fact, there were only three wild bees in the line of sight, but that thing could no longer be regarded as a wild bee at this time, it should be called a demon bee.
The dark brown demon bee is similar to the one introduced by Pandora, and some shadows of bees can be seen in the appearance, but the size has risen to the size of a purple clay pot. The needle that was supposed to be used to suck nectar became a bumblebee-like pincer-shaped mouthpiece, and it was almost as big as the wire cutters. The poisonous needle behind the tail had obviously grown specialized, two inches in length, and the color had turned red, and a layer of fluffy barbs had grown on the surface.
In addition to the above changes, the biggest change in this group of demon bees is the eyes. The compound eyes that were supposed to be black turned red for some reason, and they looked evil.
Tianyou really wanted to catch one and try the combat power of this thing, but this group of demon bees was completely different from the wild bees that collected nectar for a living. Instead of wandering around looking for nectar, they patrol in groups as if they were guarding their territory, killing any living thing, whether human or animal. When Tianyou crawled over, he saw a weasel lying on the road not far away, and a few white bones in the distance, which looked like some kind of large animal.
The trail is not remote, and there are no animal bones thrown on the road. It was obviously just stung to death by the demon bees. As for where the meat went...... just look at the mouthparts of the demon bees.
Tianyou, who was worried about accidentally attracting a group of demon bees, did not dare to make a rash move, and first observed for a while, and then found a small crockpot from the worry-free bag.
Take off the bow and arrow on your back, find a good position and kneel on the ground, set up the shaft of the arrow, first pinch it with your left hand, Tianyou raised his hand and threw the small crockpot out, and then quickly grabbed the tail of the arrow and gently pulled the bowstring.
Tianyou didn't use too much force, only pulled a third of the way and suddenly let go. The feather arrow flew out lightly, without making any sound, and then accurately collided with the crockpot that was entering the falling trajectory.
With a snap, the crockpot burst in response, and a large patch of gray-white powder instantly spread.
The powder is so finely ground that it does not fall to the ground when it flies apart, but is suspended in the air, slowly spreading with the faint air currents in the forest.
The demonized bee colony was very different from the wild bees before them, they were not disturbed by the sudden movement, but instead swarmed to the source of the sound, but immediately fled as if frightened after plunging into the white dust cloud, and the demon bees that were directly targeted by Tianyou at the beginning rolled and fell to the ground as soon as they got out of the dust mist, and then buzzed around on the ground like headless flies.
The demon bees that accidentally got some dust and mist were better than the ones that landed, and they flew out of a distance before they began to slam into the ground crookedly, while the demon bees that didn't touch the dust fog seemed to know the horror of this thing, and flew away one after another, not daring to get close to these dust and fog.
Seeing the last flying demon bee disappear, Tianyou dared to get out of the bushes and rushed into the dust and fog. At some point, he had already put on an ugly pig-faced mask, and the position of his eyes was closed with crystal tablets, leaving no gaps. A modern person would guess at a glance that it was a homemade gas mask.
Without the right equipment, Tianyou's gas mask lenses weren't really polished very well, and his vision was a little distorted, but he quickly picked up a few half-dead demon bees from the ground and threw them into his leather pocket, then turned around and ran.
"Hurry up, get out of here. ”
Seeing Tianyou rushing from a distance with a strange mask, Da Dahai and Zhao Gongming were puzzled, but when they heard Tianyou's shout, they quickly got out of the bushes and ran with Tianyou.
They ran out of the mountains and forests in one go, and rode the spirit ride all the way to a far place, and God blessed them to stop. It was only at this point that they had the opportunity to ask what was going on.
Tianyou didn't talk nonsense, jumped off the spirit horse, and took out a demon bee from the bag with his left hand with an iron gauntlet.
This little thing hasn't lost its breath yet, and although it can't fly, it's still writhing and struggling desperately in Tianyou's hands. The hook-like structure at the tip of the six calves desperately scratched at the iron gauntlets of Tianyou, but unfortunately it was useless except for some unpleasant friction sounds. Tianyou's iron gauntlet was there when he was in Qingyuan Village, it was originally prepared to catch poisonous scorpions, and the protection was quite in place, and this half-demonized demon bee alone was helpless.
"This is the demon bee?"
"So big?"
Zhao Gongming quickly broke a small branch from the tree next to him, and reached out to hand it to the mouthparts of the demon bee. I heard a click, and the branch the thickness of my little finger snapped. The incision is neatly cut like an axe.
Looking at the remaining half of the branch in his hand, Zhao Gongming sighed with a little weakness: "This is not fun!"
Huge Hai doesn't know much, although he doesn't know what level of monster this is when he sees the real thing, he can only ask Tianyou. Tianyou didn't answer immediately, but turned the demon bee over, and then stabbed it through its chest and abdomen with a dagger, disemboweling the demon bee, and searched around it, but found nothing noteworthy. Then he cut off the head and tail pin of the demon bee, and took the tail pin and poked it the stone next to him a few times. With a lot of force, the tail pin really succeeded in piercing the rocks on the side of the road, and the sharpness was evident.
After trying the tail needle, Tianyou tried the head of the thing again, and found that it was completely dead, so he took out another demon bee. This time, he took out a piece of scratched wood from his body and placed it in front of the demon bee. The demon bee, which had no IQ, immediately took a bite of it, and then it didn't let go. In the end, Tianyou had no choice but to tear off this guy's head, and the mouthparts were still biting the wood chips and refusing to let go. But you can get it down after you're dead.
Looking at the marks on the wooden board, Tianyou spoke. "There are no living creatures here, and the toxicity can't be experimented, but judging from the situation of those who have been stung in the village, it shouldn't be too strong. I estimate that this group of demon bees should be almost a middle-level demon beast, twelve or thirteen levels. ”
Hearing this, the huge sea breathed a sigh of relief. "It's only a dozen levels? Whew, it's not very powerful. ”
Zhao Gongming, who was still frowning next to him, glanced at Da Dahai and asked, "Where did you get so much confidence? The twelfth and third level monsters are not very strong, but have you forgotten what this thing is?"
The huge sea is not really stupid, this reminder immediately reacted. This thing used to be a wild bee. Does this bee have two solitary bees? Although foraging bees may act alone, their target is the hive. How could that kind of place not be guarded by a swarm?
Twelfth or thirteenth level monsters are nothing, but if hundreds or thousands of twelfth or thirteen level monsters gather together, it will be a different matter entirely.
"What can we do about this?" Huge Hai asked a little unwillingly, "Are we going to give up this task?"
"Who said I was going to give up?"
"But ...... number of demon bees?"
Tianyou deliberately learned the style of the immortals and said, "The mountain people have their own tricks. You two come with me. ”
