In the dense forest, there were two black figures of a different size looking into the distance.

Thirty meters away from them was a flat piece of land. It was different from the surrounding environment as there weren't any tall vegetation on it. There were flowers and plants everywhere. From time to time, there were bees as big as three fingers flying back and forth to collect pollen.

Blacky, this bee is way too big ?

Maki Chen was worried that he would be discovered by the densely packed beehive Primordial Demon in the distance. Through the Spirit Soul, he communicated with the salivating Blacky beside him.

Since the Blacky arrived here, its line of sight had never left those bees. Its spirited eyes revealed a blazing luster, as if an old pervert had seen a beauty.

The Blacky swallowed its saliva and used the Spirit Soul to respond: Let me tell you, these bees are not only big, they are also not weak. Each of them are at least in the 3rd or 4th level of the Invigorated Meridian Realm. I remember that when I was a child, I would have been so stupid as to steal the honey and be chased by dozens of bees for a dozen miles. If I hadn't been so lucky, I would have been dead by now.

After Maki Chen heard this, more or less, he had some doubts in his heart.

Due to their low species, bugs rarely became Primordial Demon, and even fewer with decent strength. From the sound of the Blacky's words, every bee here had extraordinary strength.

Just imagine, if all the bees in the hive moved at the same time, it would be a horrifying scene.

Blacky, how did you successfully steal the honey from before?

Maki Chen thought that each beehive had at least tens of thousands of bees, and each beehive was at the Opening Meridian Realm. Once discovered, even a high level Primordial Soul Stage cultivator would have to eat a pot of the beehive.

Furthermore, at that time, the strength of the Blacky should have not even reached the Invigorated Meridian Realm, so for it to be able to escape safely was somewhat illogical.

Hearing Maki Chen's question, the Blacky pondered and said: "These kind of bees are different from normal bees, they wouldn't all gather in one place. Basically, a hundred of them would be used as a unit to build a nest, and there are also some that are fewer, with only a few dozen.

After saying that, the Blacky looked to its side, raising its hand to pluck a small plant from the ground: "Also, the body needs to be smeared with the plant's juice in order to reduce the possibility of being discovered."

Maki Chen nodded, imitating what he had found, finding a few stalks and smearing them on his body.

When the bear and the man were ready, the bees in the distance seemed to have finished harvesting the pollen. They flapped their wings and started to fly in the same direction.

Follow! Seeing that the bees were about to leave, the Blacky warned Maki Chen.

Maki Chen nodded, and followed along with the Blacky, carefully following behind the bees.

After following for about a hundred steps, Maki Chen saw a huge beehive, which hung on a large tree that was big enough for two people to hug. The sound of densely packed wings flapping rose and fell, and even though there was a certain distance between them, he could still hear it clearly.

The appearance of the hive was a combination of six prismatic shapes. Through the hexagonal shapes, one could see the golden honey within, reflecting an attractive luster under the sunlight.

Although Maki Chen didn't really understand honey, his eyes were still sharp. With just a mere glance, he was able to confirm that these honey were definitely not ordinary items.

However, Maki Chen's focus was not on the honey, but on the bees themselves.

After returning to the hive, the bees that had been followed by the two of them immediately began to communicate with their brethren. Soon, an equal number of bees would leave the hive.

From this point of view, there was a fixed amount of bees in the hive, which was obviously a rule formed to protect the hive.

Maki Chen roughly estimated that about fifty bees were sitting on top of the bees' nest. After using his own Spirit Soul's power to sense around, it was exactly as the Blacky said, the bees' strength were all in the realm of the Channel Opening Stage.

~ Is there a way to deal with the Blacky?

If it was just these fifty bees, there would be no problem at all. However, when these bees were in a life threatening situation, they would emit a strange sound wave, calling for their own kind to come and rescue them. If there were other hives nearby, it was very likely that they would be surrounded by hundreds of bees.

Maki Chen nodded his head to show that he understood.

According to the meaning of the Blacky, if they were to be hunted by this kind of bees, they absolutely could not make a move.

In this sense, one of them must be responsible for attracting the attention of the bees, while the other must be responsible for stealing the hive.

Thinking about that, Maki Chen turned and looked at the Blacky with his meaningful gaze, and smiled.

Blacky, put down the backpack on your back and let me take charge of it. You just have to put in a bit of effort and take charge of attracting the bees' attention, then I will take responsibility of moving the beehive away. How about that?

Don't, look at my big body, I'm definitely not sensitive, I'm definitely not suitable to be restrained, a heavy job like the hive is more suitable for me!

While the Blacky was speaking, it glanced at the bees with an extremely fearful expression. It was obvious that it was recalling a memory that was difficult to recall.

Maki Chen understood in his heart that the Blacky was rather afraid of these bees. They intentionally revealed a mischievous smile, patting the rough fur of the Blacky with his hand: "You have thicker skin than me, I think ?" It shouldn't be a problem to be stung once by fifty bees.

Looking at Maki Chen's malicious expression, the Blacky turned its head and said with extreme resistance: "Don't lie to me, try it if you have the guts!"

I am a human, not a Primordial Demon, so my body is not as strong as yours.

What Maki Chen said was the truth. No matter how strong a human's body was, it could not be compared with the strength of a Primordial Demon.

After thinking about it repeatedly, the Blacky finally made up its mind. It wanted to fight for Honey today, but just as it was agreeing, Maki Chen's voice suddenly came out.

I won't tease you anymore, it's better if I attract the attention of those bees. You are responsible for carrying away the entire hive and then following the same route back! By the way, you have to keep my bag for me.

The Blacky looked at Maki Chen, and its bear face revealed a bit of worry: Are you sure you don't need me as bait?

Although the contract was previously concluded under Maki Chen's threat, after a few days, it discovered that Maki Chen treated it as a form of equal friendship, so it slowly accepted Maki Chen as its partner.

Now that Maki Chen was taking the risk for its own sake, it couldn't help but feel touched. However, it didn't know that the reason why Maki Chen was helping was entirely because of the medicine trade plan.

Maki Chen sensed the feelings of the Blacky and pretended to be impassioned: "In the future, you and I will be brothers. This sort of thing is nothing to worry about, let's start!"

After he finished speaking, Maki Chen swaggered towards the hive. He even unintentionally sneezed, afraid that the bees would not notice him.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The sound of more than fifty bees flapping their wings became more frequent, as if they were threatening Maki Chen's approach. However, their actions were useless as Maki Chen's approach was even faster.

When Maki Chen was just five meters away from the beehive, all the bees seemed to have received an order. They left the beehive at the same time and quickly flew towards Maki Chen.

Seeing that his bait had worked, Maki Chen immediately ran, and the bees followed along as well, flapping their wings with all their might.

The Blacky in the distance realized that Maki Chen had successfully attracted the bees' attention, and immediately ran out from the forest. Maybe it was because the sound was too loud, but the bees that were chasing Maki Chen suddenly turned around and rushed towards the Blacky that was raising its beehive.

This time, the Blacky was scared senseless. This guy was holding the beehive in one hand and wrapping the Spiritual Herba in the other. His two hind legs were like a human's, and because he was not familiar with this type of walking style, it looked extremely comical.

Ouch!

In the next moment, Blacky's perfectly round butt was stung by a bee. When the bee tail needle was pulled out, a fist-sized lump slowly floated up on her butt!

Being stung by the bees, the Blacky's speed increased significantly, but how fast could its fat body go?

Maki Chen endured the gloating in his heart and did his best to catch up with them, wanting to attract their attention. However, these bees were too stubborn and ignored him.

Blacky, I have a way to paralyze all the bees in the blink of an eye, but you might be affected too.

You wouldn't have used it earlier!

I'm worried about a fish escaping the net, it will be troublesome!

You don't have to worry about that anymore, hurry up... Hurry up and do it!

Maki Chen did not speak further as his spirit energy turned into a condensed lightning palm. It continuously gathered and compressed, turning from the light purple from before into a dark purple!

Maki Chen had used this move against the black-clothed man before, but it was somewhat different.

In his battle against the black-clothed man, Maki Chen had infused the condensed lightning energy into the other party's body, and then detonated the condensed lightning.

But now, he had to directly release all the thunder and lightning in the air. Although the lethality was much weaker, it was the most suitable to deal with the current situation!

Boom!

The power of the lightning spread outwards from its center like countless spiderwebs, covering an area of tens of metres in front of Maki Chen.

Ow ow ow ow!

It was followed by Blacky's screams and the falling bees.

You can't just keep it to yourself! The Blacky turned around, revealing the hive and bundle that it had protected in its embrace.

However, in the next instant, its gaze froze, and it stared fixedly at the ground. The expression on its face also became increasingly gloomy.

Amongst the bees on the ground, there was one that could still move. It was vibrating at a very high frequency. That was a signal for help from its kind!
