Chapter 351: Chapter 351 Wudang Ladder to the Clouds (Third Shift)
Everyone was trapped near the Genetic Store.
During this time, Monk Ben Yin, Zhang Hai, Lan Xin, and Zhi Ruo organized an attack in an attempt to exterminate these killer bees. However, the bees seemed to be quite intelligent. As soon as they saw anyone charging out, they would immediately fly up to a height of twenty or thirty meters and shoot their stingers down at the people on the ground.
After several charges, everyone was repelled by the killer bees.
"What should we do?"
"These killer bees are targeting us."
"Sister Zhi Ruo, what did you do to the killer bees yesterday?"
Zhang Hai asked.
Zhi Ruo was stunned for a moment, then said:
"Yesterday, we went into the Desert Canyon and hunted two monsters. Then, under a cliff, we saw this huge nest of killer bees. At that time, there were very few killer bees in the nest, and there were many baby bee larvae inside. So, we burned it with a fire."
"Amitabha!"
Monk Ben Yin brought his hands together in prayer and said:
"You killed all their children, no wonder they harbor such deep hatred toward you. It looks like these killer bees won’t let us go for the time being. If they were on the ground, we could still fight them, but the killer bees are all in the air and we are at a disadvantage to begin with. Moreover, given their sheer number, it’s difficult to repel them for now!"
Zhang Jian said:
"If these killer bees don’t leave, what should we do? Are we going to be trapped here forever?"
Monk Ben Yin spread his hands and said:
"Do you have any ideas?"
Zhang Jian shook his head. He had been hit twice by the bee stingers just now, it hurt like hell, and he immediately developed several large swellings on his body. Fortunately, he took Detoxification Pills in time.
So, everyone could only sit within the orange light, looking up at the killer bees flying in the sky and shaking their heads in sighs.
The killer bees were also cunning. Seeing that everyone was sitting inside and not coming out, most of the killer bees landed on the grass to rest, leaving only about a dozen to patrol in the air.
In the meantime, Monk Ben Yin and others had made several attempts to rush out. Each time, they could only engage in a brief battle before having to hurriedly run back. Although they killed a few killer bees, facing two to three hundred of them, their efforts were not enough.
Everyone here, except for Yang Xiao, only had a Primordial Gene Advanced level of Genetic Evolution. They were no match for the killer bees using Beast Soul and Soul Skill; they could only barely cope when using their sect’s special martial arts.
Yang Xiao noticed that Zhi Ruo and Lan Xin’s Sword Qi could reach a length of about three meters, and it was incredibly fierce. The other junior sisters from their sects also had Sword Qi that reached about two meters.
The situation was the same for people from Shaolin Temple like Monk Ben Yin and those from Wudang Sect like Zhang Hai.
Yang Xiao, seeing nothing else to do, stood on the grass and practiced Surging Waves, and he never stopped his spiritual power cultivation, practicing for an hour or two every night before going to sleep.
After staying for three hours, everyone began to feel restless. Being trapped by a swarm of killer bees was not fun.
Yang Xiao cultivated for two hours, ended his practice, and sat down by the campfire from yesterday.
The fire had gone out, and there weren’t many branches left around. It was now impossible to start another fire to roast meat.
Zhang Hai and others walked over with sighs and sat on the ground.
Monk Ben Yin and others also came over and beckoned to Zhi Ruo and Lan Xin, saying:
"Everyone come over, let’s think of a solution together."
So, dozens of people all sat together.
Everyone voiced their thoughts, and many ideas were discussed, but none seemed safe enough.
Yang Xiao had been silent, just listening quietly.
Suddenly, Miss Lan Xin said:
"Young Master Yang, do you have any ideas?"
"What could he possibly do? He doesn’t know martial arts, and he can’t beat two hundred bees alone."
Zhang Jian said.
Yang Xiao glanced at Zhang Jian, thinking to himself, did I have a feud with you in my past life?
Ignoring Zhang Jian’s ridicule, and looking at Lan Xin, he said indifferently:
"The solution is simple, kill all the bees, and the problem will naturally be resolved."
Upon Yang Xiao’s words, an eerie silence fell over the scene.
Zhang Hai said:
"There’s nothing wrong with what you said, but how easy is it to kill those bees? We can handle two or three bees on our own, but two or three hundred bees are not something we can deal with."
Monk Ben Yin then said:
"If all else fails, we only have one option. See that transmission array? It’s about a kilometer away from here. We make a dash for it, run straight there and go somewhere else to hunt monsters, avoiding the killer bees for the time being."
Zhi Ruo nodded and said:
"That’s not a bad plan if there are no other options. If it really comes down to it, we can only do that."
"But, the monster levels in other places are relatively low, so the rewards from our hunts would be smaller,"
Lan Xin said.
"What if the killer bees have blocked the path to the transmission array? After all, it’s a thousand meters away, and it’s not that easy to run over there,"
Ben Guo said.
"Why not try and see!"
Zhang Jian seemed quite confident.
Suddenly, Yang Xiao said:
"Or maybe Brother Zhang Jian can show everyone an example, to see if that swarm of killer bees can stop you."
Everyone was taken aback, looking at Zhou Jian.
Seeing the gazes of Zhi Ruo and Lan Xin, Zhou Jian slapped his chest and said loudly:
"The Tiyunzong Qinggong of the Wudang Sect is not just for show. I dare say that as long as I make a run for it, these killer bees will definitely not be able to stop me."
"Hmm, I also think Brother Zhang Jian is truly heroic, which is truly admirable. Let’s just show everyone now, so that Junior Sister Lan Xin and Junior Sister Zhi Ruo and others can feel at ease,"
Yang Xiao said with a smile.
Zhang Jian gave Yang Xiao a meaningful look and said:
"Brother Yang, you don’t need to provoke me. You have your skills, and I have my expertise. Alright, for Junior Sister Zhou and Junior Sister Lan and the others, I’ll scout ahead for everyone."
Yang Xiao quickly said:
"I wouldn’t dare, I truly admire Brother Zhang Jian."
Zhang Hai was a bit worried and said:
"Junior brother, wait a bit longer. If the killer bees are still not gone by the afternoon, we’ll all rush out together."
"Don’t worry, senior brother, there’s no need to wait until the afternoon. It’s also good for me to scout ahead for everyone."
"But..."
"What, senior brother, you also don’t believe in my abilities? When it comes to Tiyunzong’s Qinggong, I’m definitely not inferior to senior brother,"
Zhang Jian said proudly.
Indeed, his Qinggong was very good.
Zhang Hai had no good way to refute him without offending him, so he said:
"Alright then, junior brother, just be careful."
Zhang Jian straightened his clothing, holding a red longsword in his right hand, looking towards the distant transmission array, took a deep breath, and with a loud shout, he charged out.
Everyone held their breaths, watching Zhang Jian’s running figure tensely.
Yang Xiao, watching Zhang Jian’s departing figure, couldn’t help but admire him.
After Zhang Jian rushed out of the orange glow, his body soared upward, shooting up more than twenty meters from the ground and flying forward, covering a distance of fifty to sixty meters in one leap.
Monk Ben Yin couldn’t help but praise:
"The Tiyunzong Qinggong of the Wudang Sect really lives up to its reputation!"
This statement filled Zhang Hai and the other Wudang disciples with pride, their faces brimming with triumph.
However, barely two hundred meters into his charge, a buzzing sound was heard, and dozens of giant killer bees rose from the grass, beginning to pursue him.
