Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

Mysterious island, plain lake, no, maybe it is more appropriate to call it plain pit now.

After several hours of raging by the Xuanjia Legion, the once blue lake had turned into a huge pit of rocks. Apart from the blood-stained gravel and scattered aquatic plants, there was nothing useful left. supplies.

The octopus lord who once commanded the entire lake was even more miserable. Not only had all eight arms and legs broken off, but the octopus that survived had a large amount of neurotoxin injected into its head, and now it has fallen into a state of paralysis and coma.

After reuniting with the main force of the legion, Xu Yue went to check the specific situation of this big octopus. The toxins of the ant clan are very reliable. Judging from the degree of coma of the other party, at least there is no possibility of waking up before arriving at the ant nest. of.

And when it wakes up again, it may face a pig future that is worse than death. What is even more desperate is that the ants do not have a magic weapon as sharp as the Thousand Blades of the Demon Sword, and the octopus itself The film strength is extremely strong.

Therefore, the opponent's arms and legs were eaten bit by bit by countless soldier ants with their large jaws. The cross section was covered with fine irregular tooth marks. It is foreseeable that this kind of torture of thousands of ants devouring the body may be used in the future. Repeat many times on the octopus.

After checking the current situation of the octopus, it was already afternoon, and there were only a few hours before dark.

The ants did not have the habit of hunting at night, so they did not choose to continue to move forward. Instead, after organizing their legion lineup, they escorted the massive harvest of prey towards the ant nest.

The group hunting will continue for three more days. Their harvest today is already rich enough, so there is no need to rush.

After spending several hours and changing their route, the Black Armor Legion returned to the Red Rock Mountains on a bloody journey, and finally moved a steady stream of supplies into the ant nest under the light of the setting sun.

Soon after, the other two legions also returned one after another. At this point, the first day of bloody hunting ended, and the drone squad that had been following the three armies from a distance also completed the rendezvous above the Red Rock Mountains, and then headed towards the hive together. Fly to the position.

In a cave at the top of the red rock mountain, Xu Yue walked out of the darkness and looked at the direction the drone team left in silence.

"General, Your Majesty the Queen Ant is looking for you!"

Xing Hai's footsteps were heard from behind. Xu Yue looked away, turned around and walked towards the deep corridor.

"Well, let's go."

…………

Mysterious island, endless sea of ​​flowers.

This is a genuine ocean of flowers. The endless green plain is covered with countless flowers of various colors. Under the gentle glow of sunset, the entire flower sponge is endless, with emerald green as the background color, and gorgeous and complicated flowers are spread on it. With thousands of colors, you can find almost any gorgeous color you have ever seen or just heard of here.

The white jasmine lilies of the valley, crimson roses and crabapples, warm yellow wind chimes welcome the spring, blue hydrangeas and iris, crimson lilac lavender...

These brightly colored and lustrous flowers are nested in layers and complement each other, forming this wonderful oil painting that is the most colorful and grand in nature. After a breeze blows, the whole painting comes alive, and the flower branches sway. Suddenly, there were undulating ripples of colorful purples and reds, which were breathtakingly beautiful.

In the center of this vast sea of ​​flowers, there is a tall peak that is no less impressive than the red rock mountains of the Ant Tribe. The overall shape of the peaks is very peculiar. The lower layer is a broad base of grey-brown, and the top is spread out like a bud. The golden stacked petals shine in the sun. Viewed from a distance, the entire peak looks like a golden rose that has been magnified countless times.

This is where the hive is located. Since the bee clan is a group of wasps and bees that combine with each other, its nest construction is also particularly unique, neutralizing the unique nest building techniques of the two types of bee colonies.

The lower gray-brown base is a wasp's nest. Since wasps do not produce honey, the material they use to build their nests is a material similar to paper pulp that is a combination of plant fibers and their own secretions. Bees The difference is that their nesting material is beeswax produced by worker bees. This substance is similar to honey and can even be eaten directly.

The 'buds' spread out layer by layer at the top of the mountains are bees' nests. The golden petals are nests made of beeswax. Their specific functions are somewhat similar to human high-rise buildings, except that they are the living space for bees. , or their most important honey warehouse.

Of course, in addition to the parts exposed on the surface, the hive also has a lot of space underground, but this part of the space is much inferior to the underground world of the ants. The bees and ants are just the opposite. The space is the main living area, vast and complex.

The underground space of the bees is much simpler. It is mainly used as a temporary shelter after the Poseidon disaster strikes. The magnificent rose peaks on the surface are their main nest.

As for the endless sea of ​​flowers around the beehive, it is similar to the ecological plantation of the ant tribe. This sea of ​​flowers is the largest honey production base of the bee tribe. It took them a hundred years to transplant, cultivate and protect it, and finally formed a natural scene. , which contains all the flower species on this island, including many special species that have been mutated by mysterious factors.

These special flowers are extremely hallucinogenic and aggressive, making the sea of ​​flowers remain beautiful but also dangerous. At the same time, the ground below is also shrouded in dense plant roots, which can effectively curb ants. The tribe’s escape offensive.

Under the double protection of the surface and the underground, this sea of ​​flowers is not only the granary of the bee family, but also an important peripheral barrier for the hive. It can be said that the reason why the hive has not suffered large-scale siege by ant colonies in the past years is because of the sea of ​​flowers. The existence played a huge role.

Therefore, the bee clan has always spared no effort to protect the sea of ​​flowers. Except for the worker bees responsible for collecting honey, it is almost difficult to see the existence of other creatures. However, these days are unusual. There is an extra one running around in the sea of ​​flowers. Human figure.

"Clow Card·Flower—The seal is lifted!"

On the green plain, 9527 stood in the middle of the green field. He held a black scepter and pointed at the exquisite card suspended in front of him.

The tip of the scepter touched the card, and in an instant, the majestic magic power spurted out. A cute girl with fluffy twintails flew out from the card. After reaching the high altitude, the girl turned around, her body was cherry pink. The cake tower skirt blooms in layers in the rotating center, like a graceful peony in full bloom.

In the process of dancing gracefully, the girl's phantom figure began to slowly disintegrate, and eventually turned into countless light points falling downwards. Every time a light point touched the ground, a bright flower emerged from the green field. , and then bloom leisurely.

For a moment, the entire picture was extremely beautiful, and the only flaw was that the being who summoned such a grand occasion was not a beautiful girl, but a tall and muscular man with a strong body and a thick beard.

Even if the other party is just standing calmly under the shadow, he still looks so out of place with the scattered light spots and blooming flowers in the field.

It was not until more than ten minutes later that the phantom of the girl in the sky disappeared, and the green fields within a few hundred meters below her were now tightly covered with countless colorful flowers. They bloomed with extraordinary beauty, and some The area of ​​the individual bouquet is even much larger than that of the human in the field.

"Buzzing..."

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound of flapping membrane wings above the sea of ​​flowers. After the flower card's stimulation of the green field was completely completed, worker bees quickly rushed down from mid-air. These newly bloomed flowers contained rich The nectar is of high quality, and the sweet taste has already made these long-awaited worker bees impatient.

In the center of the worker bee colony, 9527 was playing with the slightly dim flower cards in his hands, looking at the bees around him who were working hard to collect nectar with interest. If you ignore the black collar around his neck, the scene would be quite harmonious. .

Obviously, our magical boy who holds the power of the Clow Card does not seem to be a friendly partner with the owner of this sea of ​​flowers, but an unequal relationship that is close to slavery.

The specific situation is indeed the same. Compared with the dwarf brother who landed at the lake, the luck of 9527 can be said to be as good as that of the dwarf brother, or even slightly exceeded.

The power inheritance of the Clow Cards is very strong, representing the fifty-two bright roads that lead directly to the law. Although with his current peak strength of the first level, he can only initially master four of the Clow Cards, but in terms of overall strength, This guy can at least be ranked among the top five among all island trialists.

But unfortunately, this mysterious island didn't seem to be friendly to him. When he was still in the landing stage, the fate of the joke gave him a harsh blow.

Seeing that the starlings were about to complete their penetration, a landing cabin suddenly flew in from nowhere and accidentally collided directly with the cabin he was in. The result was that both cabins were shattered at the same time.

And because he was in a blocking position, his cockpit was brought back to the middle of the starlings by the violent impact.

When he woke up from the stupor caused by the violent rolling, he was faced with an endless wave of starlings. In this desperate situation, he could only forcefully release the most powerful thunder card in his hand.

Relying on the terrifying power erupted from the Thunder Card, he successfully escaped from the siege of the starlings and completed the landing in embarrassment. The price was that the Thunder Card fell into a long cooling period that lasted for a world. Normal use would not cause such serious consequences. The consequences, but the forced liberation will release all the energy stored in the thunder card in an instant, which will cause the thunder spirit to fall directly into a deep sleep.

Because of this, the most powerful spell in his hand was ruined, and his strength was reduced by at least a quarter.

Next, he thought he would be able to escape smoothly after landing safely, but the fact was that he successfully moved from one desperate situation to another.

That's right, he fell directly into the endless sea of ​​flowers of the bee tribe, rolling and crushing a large number of flowers along the way.

When 9527 got up from the ground in a daze, all he could see was a massive number of worker bees surrounding him, and these worker bees all looked very angry.

"Hi (^o^)/, dear hardworking little... er, great gardeners, I can explain this matter. How about everyone calm down first?"

This was the first sentence 9527 said. After scanning the surrounding scene, the magical boy whose mana was nearly overdrawn quickly understood the current situation. He smiled brightly and tried to communicate with the other party through his superb speaking skills. Reach a settlement.

As expected, he obviously failed. The swarm ignored these nonsense and decisively attacked him. He tried to resist, but after the wasp guards guarding the hive were dispatched, he shamefully failed again. Failed.

Then came the extremely smooth surrender phase. 9527 clearly knew this very well. He decisively summoned the flower card that he had only used once since he mastered it, and used the remaining mana to make the strange blooming flowers appear nearby. scene, and controls dozens of white flowers to form a rather conspicuous white flag.

"I surrender! I can spawn flowers to compensate for the damage!!"

Seeing the little dwarf waving the white flag quickly in the sea of ​​gorgeous flowers, the bee swarms that were about to kill him directly to make flower fertilizer all stopped. The awkward silence lasted for a moment until a drone flew from the hive. After testing 9527's ability, the Bee Clan decisively accepted the other party's compensation proposal.

Flowers in the endless sea of ​​flowers also have seasonal restrictions and cannot bloom all the time. However, the ability of 9527 allows them to continue to bloom regardless of conditions. At this time when the Poseidon's disaster is approaching, this is simply a gift to the door. .

In this way, while other trialists on the mysterious island were still struggling to survive, the style of 9527 changed suddenly. He successfully entered the 996 working life with food and accommodation included. In addition to no freedom, the safety factor was simply off the charts. .

Pulling the black collar around his neck, 9527 twisted his neck quite uncomfortably. It had been a long time since he had worn this thing. To be honest, he was really not used to it.

"I said, your skills are not good. I think the collar I wore when I was in Qingshan Mental Hospital was much more comfortable than yours. Although this collar will not discharge electricity, it is cold and heavy. If you wear it for a long time, you will easily get cervical spondylosis. .”

"Hey, that big hornet, I'm talking to you, do you hear me? Anyway, I have been working for your bee tribe for 4 days to pay off the debt. That's called a conscientious and sincere person. The flowers he planted were all damaged before. Hundreds of times more, I don’t want you to let me go free, but at least take off this broken collar.”

"This thing always reminds me of some not-so-good memories."

Faced with 9527's various complaints, the drone behind him, holding the chain in his hand, remained unmoved and just said coldly:

"Shut up, you dirty old citizen, the debt you have to repay can be more than just flowers."

"Your hands are still stained with the blood of hundreds of fellow worker bees. It's a blessing that the queen bee didn't execute you directly. You'd better not push yourself too far."

"Compatriots?"

After hearing the words in his mind, 9527 smiled mockingly, turned to look at the group of busy worker bees behind him, and said lightly:

"Are you sure these guys who can't even speak are your compatriots? I've learned about the hierarchy of your bee family. They are just a group of slaves who are slightly higher than me. You drones really care about the worker bees. Life or death?"

"Old citizen, you'd better not try to anger me. Although I can't kill you, I can make you easily understand what life is worse than death."

Looking at the sharp tail needle slowly protruding from the drone's tail, 9527 shrugged indifferently, then took out the water bag containing golden honey from his waist and swallowed it in large gulps, as if to suppress his shock.

"Okay, okay, I'll just stop poking your sore feet, but your torture methods are really ordinary. Let me tell you, in the unit where I used to work, there were a variety of torture methods, and simple pain was the lowest Class……"

"Well, the only thing I'm satisfied with when I work here is this honey. It tastes good."

"Hornet, I remember that you also have a higher-grade royal jelly. Can you spread it evenly and give me a taste? I..."

"Shut up!"

Before 9527 finished speaking, the drone, unbearable, suddenly tugged at the chain in his hand. The chain tightened the collar around his neck, and the rest of 9527's words were stuck back in his throat.

"The rest time is over, now change the location immediately and carry out the next birth!"

……………

Half an hour later, another dense sea of ​​flowers covering a hundred meters was born, and something strange was heard in the sky at this time. The buzzing sound was deafening, and a huge yellow cloud flew from a distance, flying over the flowers. Large shadows were cast in the sea.

In the shadow, 9527 looked up, his eyes dim and uncertain. He didn't look back until Huang Yun completely disappeared inside the hive.

More than ten minutes passed, and when 9527 was preparing to summon the next flower card, the drone behind him suddenly moved, and the antennae on his forehead trembled endlessly, as if he had received a summons.

"Old citizens, be honest, you can't escape the coverage area of ​​the bee swarm."

After finishing speaking, he threw the chain in his hand to a sturdy wasp, said a few words and then flew quickly towards the location of the hive.

On the same spot, 9527 glanced at the other party's leaving figure, then turned around and continued his summoning ceremony, as if he had no intention of escaping.

At the same time, in a tree hole outside the sea of ​​flowers, Ah Fu activated the magic mirror in his hand. After the image was connected, he clicked on the observation hand glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a picture was suddenly projected.

"Sir, I found an enslaved trialist near the hive."
