Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

The noisy 'buzzing' sounds were getting closer and closer, Xu Yue still stood in the canopy of the tree, never far away, and Ah Fu's figure had already disappeared when the first arrow was shot.

As he raised his eyes slightly, Xu Yue's gaze passed through the sparse branches and leaves of the big tree and landed on the wasp formation on the horizon that was breaking away from the swarm and quickly approaching the canopy of the tree.

After being bombarded by light arrows several times in succession, the swarm finally pinpointed the specific location where the arrows hit. If this long-range attack that would erupt a large amount of golden and red flames continued, I am afraid that the attack rhythm of the entire swarm would be affected. Totally disrupted.

The bee swarm leader who was responsible for inspecting the overall situation immediately realized the impact of this arrow attack on the battle situation, so he quickly dispatched a large wasp formation to surround Xu Yue in the canopy of the tree. .

The formation is so large that its edges are hard to see in the vast expanse of yellow. The number of individuals in it is estimated to be no less than five thousand. And at the center of the formation, there is a golden-ringed wasp whose size and power far exceed those of its kind. exist.

The golden-ringed wasp, named Tiger Spot, is the small commander of this wasp formation. Like the commander who commands the entire battlefield, it belongs to the drone class in the swarm, so it has the ability to control the swarm.

There are three hierarchies in the bee colony: queen bee, drone bee, and worker bee.

Needless to say, the queen bee is the basic unit of the entire bee kingdom, and the drones are located between the two. They are larger than ordinary worker bees, and their intelligence and combat power are also more advanced. In the bee colony, Their responsibilities are to drive and direct the swarms of bees, mate with the queen bee, and give birth to offspring.

When the queen bee basically does not leave the nest, these drones are the commanders of the external operations of the bee colony. Among the many bee individuals on this battlefield, the number of worker bees accounts for at least 99%, and the remaining 1% does not The drone is here.

Just from the comparison of this data, we can see the rarity of drones. Now, among the wasp squadron that came to surround Xu Yue, one drone can be assigned to sit in command, which already reflects the importance the bee swarm attaches to Xu Yue. .

Because of the difference in class, the presence of tiger spots is very conspicuous, and it is incompatible with the surrounding similar people in every aspect, so even if it is hidden in the dense swarm formation, Xu Yue quickly discovered its existence.

Without too much hesitation, the bow in his hand was like a full moon, and the solid tip of the arrow pointed directly at the tiger spot. On the battlefield, being different is the best target.

"call out!"

The string was released, the arrow came out, and a beam of golden light shot away, reaching the front of the swarm in an instant.

Flesh and flesh were vulnerable under the golden light, and each wasp was pierced one after another by the light arrows in the golden light. However, there were too many swarms. After penetrating the bodies of more than ten wasps one after another, the speed of the light arrows was still unstoppable. It slowed down and was finally stopped by a black spike.

The light arrow exploded half way from the center of the formation. Although it failed to hit the intended target, the flames that exploded still dragged nearly a hundred wasps around into the sea of ​​​​fire, which was not a big deal. No gain.

The roar of the explosion dissipated, and a large number of wasps burning with golden and red flames began to fall quickly away from the group to prevent the flames from spreading. The entire wasp formation continued to advance as if nothing had happened, but the speed was slightly faster.

Sensing the piercing killing intent coming from the sky, Xu Yue's expression remained unchanged, and he opened the Xiaoyun Longbow in his hand, and in an instant, three more beams of golden light flew out of the tree crown.

In the sky, three roars sounded almost simultaneously, and the continuous flames formed a sea of ​​​​fire, covering less than half of the bee colony. Hundreds and thousands of wasps, entangled with pure Yangyan, fell from the sky one after another. The scene suddenly changed. Some are beautiful and dazzling.

The densely arranged formation of wasps is too suitable for the use of explosive light arrows. Coupled with the extremely low flame resistance of individual wasps, once the pure Yangyan explodes, it will end in casualties, and the lethality is particularly brutal.

Looking at the wasps that were already suffering heavy casualties before they even got close to the target, the air pressure around Tiger Spot became a little lower. The antennae on its head trembled, and the order to disperse the entire army was quickly transmitted to the entire wasp formation.

After a few breaths, the originally dense and solid formation had turned into a relatively thin but wider yellow cloud, overwhelmingly pressing downwards.

However, everything has its pros and cons. Although changing the formation greatly weakened the killing range of the light arrow, it also completely exposed the drone tiger spot in the center.

"Bah!"

As soon as the bee swarm dispersed, a high-pitched phoenix cry sounded immediately. Before the sound wave dissipated, the golden-red light arrow with a phoenix-like appearance had arrived in front of the tiger stripe.

Before the arrow arrived, the terrifying murderous intention had already sent chills all over Tiger Spot. However, when it dispersed the swarm, it had expected that the enemy would launch an attack on itself, but it did not expect that the speed of the arrow this time would be so high. Just so fast.

A pair of compound eyes composed of 5,000 small eyes on both sides of the head rotated, and everything around him seemed to slow down. 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 were tiny. Complete now.

Under this unique vision, the black spear in Tiger Spot's hand suddenly stabbed forward, and then accurately hit the arrow tip. The moment the two touched, fine cracks were instantly transmitted from the arrow tip to the entire arrow body, and the light arrow It began to expand, and through the expanded cracks, you could clearly see that there seemed to be boiling golden-red fire emerging from inside.

"boom!!"

Violent explosions spread across the sky, along with the rapidly expanding sea of ​​golden and red fire. At the edge of the sea of ​​fire, a black shadow flew out, successfully avoiding the sea of ​​fire in the critical moment. Devour.

After a moment, the rising flames disappeared, revealing the tiger spots covered with black marks on the back, but apart from being a little embarrassed on the body, it did not suffer much damage.

Throwing away the incomplete spear in his hand, Tiger Spot made a light move with his right hand. A sturdy wasp guard beside him immediately understood. It raised its abdomen and fired the black spikes on its tail in the direction of its leader.

The spikes pierced the air and flew extremely fast, but under Tiger Spot's compound eyes, this speed was nothing to mention. As soon as it approached, it was forcibly held by it and stopped, forming a brand new black spear.

As the palm of his hand turned, the spear tore through the airflow and let out a scream. After testing the performance of the spear, Tiger Spot lowered his head and looked at the silver figure faintly emerging in the canopy below. Although the ferocious insect head could not see any specific changes in expression, Xu Yue could clearly tell I feel that the other person is smiling.

"Very strong, quite intelligent, and provocative. It seems communication shouldn't be a problem..."

Looking up at the sky and approaching the swarm of bees quickly, Xu Yue murmured, without the slightest trace of panic on his face. Even though he had witnessed the drone taking a blow from the clouds with almost no injury not long ago, he still looked calm.

After all, it is a civilized settlement that can survive on this mysterious island full of dangers. The strength of the elite individuals among them will definitely not be too weak, which he has already expected.

Moreover, the mana contained in the arrow just now was only a little over a hundred, so it was not surprising that the opponent could take it safely. After shooting more than ten light arrows at the bee swarm, the remaining mana in his body was already running low. .

If the opponent could safely catch an arrow in his prime, he would immediately stay away without saying a word, but the current level was still within the range of his ability to deal with it.

The long bow in his hand changed, and Fang Tian's painted halberd, which was two feet long, suddenly appeared. At the same time, the metal wings on his back spread out, and the Eye of Manifestation in his waist bag also flew out automatically.

Soon, the swooping tiger stripe entered the detection range of the Eye of Manifestation, and a large amount of data was displayed in front of Xu Yue's eyes.

[Comparing the intelligence attributes of both sides..., the comparison is completed, our intelligence is 1.15 times the enemy's intelligence, and we have obtained 96% of the enemy's information]

The information is as follows:

After the tail sting hits the target, it will inject a large amount of toxin, causing severe pain and high costs. Poison damage, and reduce the maximum health value by 3%.

Tip: The effects of this poison are stackable.

Skill 5: Hunting (Active LV.21):? ? ? ?

……………

His eyes quickly scanned the detailed information on the light screen. After seeing the specific effects of bee venom, Xu Yue felt a shiver in his heart. Other attributes and skills were just that, but the ability of bee venom to reduce the upper limit of life was very fatal, especially This effect can also be stacked. Once he is hit multiple times, not even recovery potions can save him.

This ability is a bit too cruel, and is no weaker than the real damage caused by a flock of starlings. I just don’t know whether the ‘evil dispelling’ effect of pure Yangyan can dispel this poison.

Moreover, this bee venom should not be unique to drones. Thinking of this, he deflected the Eye of Manifestation in his hand, and information about some ordinary worker bees not far away also unfolded.

After exploring the information of several wasps one after another, Xu Yue breathed a long sigh of relief. Sure enough, this kind of bee venom has the effect that all wasps have.

However, the reduction degree of ordinary worker bees is only about 2 to 8 points, which is not as terrifying as the percentage reduction of drone bees. However, this should not be underestimated. After all, there is only one drone, but there are thousands of worker bees.

While Xu Yue was still exploring the corresponding information, the swarm of bees that spread into yellow clouds had completely enveloped the canopy of the big tree where he was, and the tiger stripe was suspended above the encirclement. As a commander, it would not be easy unless it was absolutely necessary. Put yourself in danger.

As the spear in Tiger Spot's hand pointed downward, a dense sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded in the air, and dozens or hundreds of black spears were simultaneously thrown out from the swarm, shooting toward the tree crown.

The dense branches and leaves of the tree crown were torn to pieces, revealing a silver figure hidden in it. Just when the figure was about to be penetrated by the dense spears, a Fangtian painted halberd in the opponent's hand suddenly swung.

The halberd was swung horizontally, and majestic power burst out, rolling up a huge air wave within three meters of the figure. Wherever the air wave hit, all the spears were immediately shattered and turned into countless debris. Splash outward.

Above the bee swarm, Tiger Spot looked down at the churning air waves in the tree crown. The five thousand small eyes in the compound eyes all expanded. The somewhat blurry figure in the air waves gradually became clearer, and the waving trajectory of the halberd in his hand also diminished. slow.

It raised the spear in its hand, waited for a few breaths, and then threw it boldly.

"call out!"

A beam of black light penetrated directly 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 swarm.

The black light deftly passed through the gap created when Fang Tian swung the painted halberd, and pierced straight to the head of the silver figure.

"when!"

The harsh metallic clanking sound echoed inside the bee swarm, and the air waves caused by the halberd dissipated, revealing the motionless silver figure inside.

The spear just now did not hit the target's head as expected, but was blocked by a silver arm, and the tip of the spear collided with the strong forearm muscles.

The forearm was intact, but the black spear was shattered inch by inch under the collision of two forces. It was obvious that the spear formed from the tail sting of a wasp was not as strong as his metal 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 his entire forearm are made of high-quality pure steel. His defensive power is extremely exaggerated, no better than that of the Earth Tower Shield. The defense is weak, even slightly exceeded.

Putting down his slightly numb left arm, there were no other changes except for a coin-sized dent on it. However, after the spear was shattered, the bee venom contained inside also burst out, staining his silver forearm. There was a sizzling sound on the skin, but it still had no effect on the metalized film.

Golden-red flames automatically gush out from his arms, instantly burning away the venom on the body surface. Glancing at his intact forearm, Xu Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, looking through the dense swarm and landing on the huge drone on the periphery. On the body.

"The accuracy is good, but the strength is a bit lacking. If it had been your tail needle, it might have pierced my skin."

The faint words spread outward, with a strong flavor of provocation. Xu Yue was not sure whether the drone could understand it, but this did not prevent him from trying.

As soon as he finished speaking, he could clearly feel that the eyes focused on him became a little colder, and then, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Humans, a group of old people abandoned by Poseidon. Now that Poseidon's disaster is coming, how dare you openly confront the new great bee race at this time? You should be killed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the buzz around him suddenly intensified. The tail ends of all the wasps in the field popped out spikes. They raised their tail ends and sprinted towards Xu Yue. The swarm that originally spread into yellow clouds It instantly collapsed inward and formed a huge yellow ball.

In the center of the ball, facing the desperate situation of being stabbed by sharp tail needles from all directions, Xu Yue didn't care. Instead, he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked happy.

"Old people? Poseidon's disaster? It would be great if we could communicate. It seems we have found the right place."

As he spoke, dense metal fragments flew out from the wings on his back, completely covering him.

The next moment!

"Roar!!!"
