Chapter 42: Finding the Right Place
The noisy 'buzzing' sound was approaching, Xu Yue was still standing in the canopy of the trees, and Ah Fu's figure had disappeared as early as the first arrow was fired.
With his eyes raised slightly, Xu Yue's gaze passed through the sparse branches and leaves of the big tree, and landed on the wasp formation in the sky, which was breaking away from the swarm and quickly approaching the canopy.
After being bombarded by light arrows several times in succession, the swarm finally locked on to the specific location where the arrows were coming, and then let this long-range attack that would burst out a large number of golden red flames continue, I am afraid that the attack rhythm of the entire swarm will be completely disrupted.
The leader of the swarm, who was in charge of patrolling the whole situation, immediately realized the impact of this arrow attack on the battle situation, so he quickly sent a large wasp team to besiege the canopy where Xu Yue was located.
The size of the team is huge, and it is difficult to see its margin, and the number of individuals is estimated to be no less than 5,000, and in the center of the team, there is a golden-ringed wasp that far exceeds its kind in size and power.
The golden-ringed wasp is named Tabby, and it is the small leader of this wasp team, and like the general commander who commands the entire battlefield, it belongs to the drone class in the swarm, so it has the ability to dominate the swarm.
There are three types of bee colonies, namely queen bees, drones, and worker bees.
Among them, the queen bee naturally does not need to say much, and the worker bee is the basic unit of the entire bee kingdom, the drone is located between the two, they are larger than the ordinary worker bee, the wisdom and combat power are more exceeded, and the responsibility in the bee colony is to drive and command the swarm of bees, and the queen bee to give birth to children.
In the case that the queen bee basically does not leave the nest, these drones are the commanders of the colony's external operations, and among the many bee individuals on this battlefield, the number of worker bees accounts for at least 99%, and the remaining 1% are drones.
From this data comparison alone, we can see the rarity of drones, and now in the wasp team that came to besiege Xu Yue, a drone can be assigned to sit in charge, which can already reflect the importance that the bee colony attaches to Xu Yue.
Because of the different classes, the presence of the tabby is very conspicuous, and it is incompatible with the same kind around it in any aspect, so even if it is hidden in the dense swarm formation, Xu Yue quickly discovered its existence.
Without much hesitation, the bow in his hand was like a full moon, and the sharp edge of the condensed arrow pointed directly at the tabby, and on the battlefield, being different was the best target.
"Whew!"
The string was released, the arrow came out, and a beam of golden light shot away, and in an instant, it had reached the forefront of the swarm.
The flesh and blood were vulnerable under the golden light, and the wasps were pierced one after another by the light arrows in the golden light, but the number of bee colonies was too much, and after penetrating the bodies of more than ten wasps one after another, the speed of the light arrows slowed down irrepressibly, and was finally blocked by a black spike.
The light arrow burst at a distance of half a distance from the center of the team, and although it failed to hit the intended target, the flames that burst from it still dragged the nearly 100 surrounding wasps into the sea of fire, and it was not for nothing.
The roar of the explosion dissipated, and a large number of wasps burning with golden red flames began to quickly fall away from the group to prevent the flames from spreading, while the entire wasp team continued to advance as if nothing had happened, only faintly faster.
Sensing the piercing killing intent coming from the sky, Xu Yue's face remained unchanged, and the Xiaoyun longbow in his hand was pulled out again and again, and in an instant, three beams of golden light flew out of the canopy.
In the sky, the three roars resounded almost synchronously, and the continuous flames connected into a sea of fire, encompassing half of the small range of the bee colony, and hundreds of nearly a thousand wasps that were entangled by the pure yang flame fell from the sky one after another, and the scene was a little beautiful and brilliant for a while.
The densely arranged wasp team is too suitable for the play of the bursting light arrows, coupled with the extremely low flame resistance of the wasp individuals, once the pure Yang Flame bursts, it will be the end of one dead and wounded, and the lethality is extremely ferocious.
Looking at the wasps who had already suffered heavy casualties before they got close to the target, the air pressure around the tabby became a little lower, the tentacles on its head trembled, and the orders scattered by the whole army were quickly transmitted to the entire wasp team.
After a few breaths, the originally dense and condensed square team had turned into a relatively thin but more extensive yellow cloud, overwhelmingly pressing downward.
However, there are pros and cons to everything, and although changing the formation greatly weakens the killing range of the light arrow, it also completely exposes the drone tabby in the center.
"Wow!"
As soon as the swarm of bees dispersed, a high-pitched phoenix bird cry immediately resounded, and the sound wave had not yet dissipated, and the golden red light arrow showing the shape of a phoenix bird on the body surface had reached the tabby.
Before the arrow arrived, the terrifying killing machine had already sent the tabby through the cold, but as early as the time to disperse the swarm, it had expected the enemy to attack itself, but it didn't expect the arrow to be so fast this time.
A pair of compound eyes composed of 5,000 small eyes on each side of the skull turned, everything around seemed to slow down, and the golden-red light arrow in the center of the field of vision gradually became clear, and even the strange inscriptions flashing on the arrow body were also delicate.
Under this unique vision, the black spear in the tabby's hand stabbed forward suddenly, and the subsequent precision hit the tip of the arrow, the moment the two touched, the fine cracks instantly transmitted from the tip of the arrow to the entire arrow body, and the light arrow began to expand, through the swollen cracks, you can clearly see that there seems to be a boiling golden red fire inside.
"Boom!!"
A violent explosion spread in the sky, and along with it, there was also the rapidly expanding golden-red sea of fire, and at the edge of the sea of fire, a black shadow flew upside down, successfully avoiding the engulfment of the sea of fire at the moment of danger.
After a few moments, the rising flames vanished, revealing the scorched black tabby behind it, but it didn't suffer much damage other than a little embarrassment on its surface.
Throwing away the mutilated spear in his hand, the tabby flicked his right hand, and a sturdy wasp guard next to him immediately realized, its belly raised, and the black spikes on its tail shot out in the direction of its own command.
The spikes pierced through the air and flew extremely fast, but under the compound eyes of the tabby, this speed was not worth mentioning, and it was forced to stop just as it was approaching, forming a new black spear.
Between the rotation of the palm, the spear tore open the airflow and let out a scream, after testing the performance of the spear, the tabby lowered his head to look at the silver figure faintly emerging in the canopy below, although the hideous insect head could not see the specific change in expression, but Xu Yue could clearly feel that the other party was laughing.
"The strength is very strong, and the degree of wisdom is not low, and with a sense of provocation, it seems that communication should not be a problem......"
Looking up at the rapidly approaching bee colony in the sky, Xu Yue muttered, without the slightest panic on his face, even though he witnessed the drone almost unharmed and received a blow not long ago, he still looked indifferent.
After all, it is a civilization settlement that can survive on this dangerous mysterious island, and the strength of the elite individuals in it will definitely not be too weak, which he has long expected.
And the mana contained in the arrow just now is just over a hundred, and it is not surprising that the other party can take it safely, after shooting more than ten light arrows at the swarm in a row, the only remaining mana in his body has long been left.
If the other party can take an arrow in his heyday, then he doesn't say a word and immediately stays away, but the current level is still within the scope of his response.
The longbow in his hand changed, and the Fang Tian Painting Halberd of the second length appeared impressively, and at the same time, the metal wings behind him spread, and the Manifestation Eye in his waist bag also automatically flew out.
Soon, the swooping tabby entered the detection range of the Visible Eye, and a large piece of data was swiped out in front of Xu Yue's eyes.
[Comparing the intelligence attributes of both sides..., the comparison is completed, our intelligence is 1.15 times that of the enemy's intelligence, and 96% of the enemy's information is obtained]
The details are as follows:

Hint: This toxin effect stacks.
Skill 5: Hunt (Active LV.21): ????
……………
His eyes quickly swept over the detailed information on the light screen, and after seeing the specific effect of bee venom, Xu Yue's heart sank, and other attributes and skills were enough, but the ability of this bee venom to reduce the upper limit of life was very deadly, especially the effect could be superimposed, once he was hit many times, even the recovery potion could not save him.
This ability is a bit too ferocious, no weaker than the real damage of the starling flock, but I don't know if the 'evil dispelling' effect of pure yang can dispel this toxin.
And this bee venom should not be unique to drones, thinking of this, he deflected the Manifestation Eye in his hand, and the information of some ordinary worker bees not far away also unfolded.
After probing the information of several wasps one after another, Xu Yue let out a long breath, and sure enough, the effect of this bee venom is possessed by all wasps.
However, the reduction degree of ordinary worker bees is only about 2~8 points, which does not reach the terrifying level of percentage deduction of drones, but this is still not to be underestimated, after all, there is only one drone bee, and there are thousands of worker bees.
While Xu Yue was still probing for the corresponding information, the swarm of bees that had spread into yellow clouds had completely enveloped the canopy of the big tree he was in, and the tabby was suspended above the encirclement.
As the spear in Tabby's hand pointed downward, a dense sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded in the air, and I saw dozens or hundreds of black spears thrown synchronously from the swarm, shooting towards the direction of the canopy.
The dense branches and foliage of the canopy were torn to shreds, revealing a silver figure hidden within, and just as the figure was about to be pierced by the dense spear, a Fang Tian painting halberd in the opponent's hand swung violently.
The halberd swung horizontally, and the majestic power burst out, rolling up a monstrous wave of qi within three meters around the figure, and where the air wave reached, all the spears were immediately shattered, turning into countless debris and residues that flew outward.
Above the swarm, the tabby looked down at the churning air waves in the canopy, the five thousand small eyes in the compound eyes expanded in unison, and the somewhat vague figure in the air waves gradually became clear, and the swinging trajectory of the halberd in his hand also slowed down.
It raised its spear in its hand, waited for a few breaths, and then threw it boldly.
"Whew!"
A beam of black light pierced through the dense swarm, but did not affect even a single wasp, and finally penetrated into the white air mass rising in the center of the colony.
The black light deftly pierced through the gap created when Fang Tian's painting halberd swung and stabbed straight towards the head of the silver figure.
"Dang!"
The cacophony of metal clattering echoed through the swarm, and the waves of air stirred up by the halberd dissipated, revealing a silvery figure that stood motionless inside.
The spear did not hit the target's head as expected, but was blocked by a silver arm, the tip of which collided with the muscles of the strong forearm.
The forearm was fine, but the black spear was shattered inch by inch under the confrontation of the two forces, and it was clear that this spear formed by the wasp's tail thorn was not as hard as his metalized defense.
After devouring a large amount of metal, his current metallization has broken through to 53% of the Flesh and Bone Realm, basically the muscles of the entire forearm are made of high-quality pure steel, and the defense is extremely exaggerated, no weaker than the defense of the Earth Tower Shield, or even slightly exceeded.
Putting down the faintly numb left arm, there was no change except for an extra coin-sized pit on it, but after the spear was shattered, the bee venom contained inside also burst out, staining the skin of his silver forearm, but it still had no effect on the metallized membrane.
The golden-red flames automatically poured out from his arm, incinerating the venom on his body in an instant, and glancing at his intact forearm, Xu Yue's eyebrows raised slightly, and his gaze passed through the dense swarm of bees and landed on the huge drones on the periphery.
"The accuracy is good, but it's a pity that the strength is a little worse, if it is your tail needle, it may be able to puncture my epidermis."
The faint voice of words spread outward, with a strong taste of provocation, Xu Yue was not sure if the drone could understand, but this did not prevent him from trying a thing or two.
As the words fell, he could clearly feel that the gaze focused on him was a little colder, and then, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Humans, a group of old people abandoned by the god of the sea, now that the disaster of the god of the sea is coming, how dare you openly confront the new great bee clan at this time, you should be killed!"
As soon as the words fell, the buzzing around them suddenly intensified, and the tails of all the wasps in the field popped out their spikes in unison, and they lifted their tails and sprinted towards Xu Yue's direction, and the swarm that had originally spread into yellow clouds instantly collapsed inward, forming a huge yellow ball.
In the center of the ball, facing the desperate situation of sharp tail needles piercing in all directions, Xu Yue didn't care, but raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face was happy.
"Old people? Poseidon Calamity? It's good to be able to communicate, it seems that you have found the right place. ”
As he spoke, dense fragments of metal flew out of the wings behind him, enveloping him completely.
The next moment!
"Roar!!
