“Bee Master, Bee Master, that darn shit. It must be him!”

In Hair Ghost II-49’s residence, the messy room that had been tossed by the manic bunch of hair had now returned to normal. A thin man with a sallow complexion and Southeast Asian features was now sitting in the middle of the sofa.

His extremely long black hair was coiled up, and at first glance, one would have thought that he was wearing a black hat. In his hand was a puppet made of hair, which was exuding a strange aura.

A shocking sight appeared: blood was continuously dripping from the puppet. It convulsed and writhed crazily, and it struggled so hard that it almost broke free from the constraints of the black hair that was inserted deep in its chest by Hair Ghost.

But at this critical moment, Hair Ghost II-49 tore off another strand of his hair and twirled it into the original strand of hair using a ghostly and magical technique. The little puppet stopped struggling instantly and now appeared listless and weak. It was precisely because the host, the descendant of the eagle flutist, was heavily poisoned and extremely weak.

“It must be him, it must be him.”

Hair Ghost II-49 muttered in a daze, with an evil look in his eyes. He had competed with II-50 for the ranking this year, and the two had long since formed a deep feud. However, both of them have an Abyssal-type mutation and had their own forces behind them, so neither of them could do anything to the other. This time he had lost in Intoxicating Xiangxi, so II-50 had obtained some benefits while he had suffered.

How could II-49 be reconciled with this? Therefore, while he had been looking for III-9 and III-250 for Puppeteer, he had also been paying close attention to the movements of II-50.

When he found out that II-50 was trying to cultivate another queen bee to secure and snatch the rank of “II-49,” and he had even managed to subdue IV-1 and ordered IV-1 to find the crystal corpse that the queen bee loved to eat, II-49 had set his sights on IV-1 and prepared to take IV-1’s place. He was prepared to assassinate IV-1 to dampen II-50’s spirits.

As for the discovery of a talented rookie tourist, Wei Xun, during IV-1’s tour, it had come as a pleasant surprise.

Later, II-49 failed to complete his task, so he had no solution but to recommend Wei Xun to Puppeteer. Sure enough, she became interested in Wei Xun, which also gave him a chance to breathe. However, his mentality became more and more distorted, especially when he thought that IV-1 had died. II-49 had spent a lot of money to get into the tour, but he had failed, so he was currently full of hatred towards Bee Master.

The only one who could get ahead of II-49 and realize IV-1’s death the soonest was the person behind IV-1, Bee Master from the Slaughterer Alliance!

That hateful fella, that annoying bastard. Even if he knew that IV-1 was alive and not dead, II-49 would not sit around to wait for an opportunity to strike. With IV-1 on the tour, he would not be able to wait for Bee Master to act first, no matter what happened. He had to be proactive!

II-49 had nine core ghost hairs and each ghost hair was extremely precious, so he regarded them as treasures. If one was consumed, it would take him a lot of effort to grow it again. This time, II-49 did not hesitate to expend a core ghost hair as a bait, using it to invade the tour and control the descendant of the eagle flutist!

Controlling the descendant of the eagle flutist was just his means to an end. II-49’s real purpose was to control the descendant of the eagle flutist, get close to Wei Xun, and then quietly implant the ghost hair into Wei Xun’s heart.

II-49 had been following Puppeteer for many years and knew that when she requested him to act slowly, it actually meant to avoid taking action directly. She meant that she didn’t want him to kill Wei Xun directly. If it was really possible to secretly control him with the ghost hair, Puppeteer would definitely be more satisfied with him.

As long as Wei Xun could be controlled, as long as he could be controlled…

What was abominable was that he, II-49, was extremely unlucky. It turned out that the descendant of the eagle flutist was poisoned! In front of the livestream! In order to avoid attracting the attention of the Travel Services, he had to use another ghost hair to continue to control the descendant of the eagle flutist.

Who was playing tricks on him from the dark!

“Yes, it must be him.”

Hair Ghost cursed II-50 because he had done it habitually, but he suspected that there was something wrong with the descendant of the eagle flutist himself, or that the two Lamas had acted against him. Or the swarm of insects on the ground…that wasn’t right, the two Lamas and Wei Xun had both touched the insects and nothing had happened. So why was the descendant of the eagle flutist poisoned?

This was not an accident. There was someone who had discovered him and was targeting him!

And insect poison was used.

Only that damn Bee Master, who had IV-1 as his scout, could discover the irregularity the fastest!

But if it was really him, based on II-49’s understanding of Bee Master, he seemed to have acted a little too hastily…so that’s the case!

“Are you planning to act against Wei Xun now?”

II-49 sneered, he’d figured it out!

It had to be that Bee Master also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to control Wei Xun, and the two of them had the same idea. In the end, Bee Master accidentally discovered the existence of II-49. Of course, Bee Master had to be eliminated first, so that II-49 could focus on how to deal with Wei Xun again.

“I won’t let you succeed. You absolutely, absolutely will not succeed.”

II-49 stared at the livestream screen coldly, with a ferocious and crazy expression. “You gave IV-1 props to block his livestream, presumably to hide your dirty tricks.

“Hahahaha, II-50, II-50, I’ve seen through you.

“Even if you possess many tricks, as long as my puppet protects Wei Xun, it will be your failure!”

“Pft, that useless II-49.”

In another private residence, a person sneered as he watched the tragic scene of the descendant of the eagle flutist collapsing as he bled from his seven orifices.

As long as you were willing to spend points, you could design your private residence into a completely different appearance. For example, Wei Xun’s residence was currently the most basic model, which is a normal house. On the other hand, II-49’s residence was filled with Yin Energy and was dark and humid, which was the most suitable for maintaining his ghost hair.

But at first glance, this residence looked like a garden. There were all kinds of flowers planted on the ground, on the walls, and even on the roof. They were in full bloom, completely inconsistent with the laws of nature. Packed and crowded together, they created a beautiful scene.

And among the flowers, there were several vertical branches with beehives of various colors hanging on them. Some hives were as big as a human head, and some were as small as a fist. Bees of different shapes were busy collecting pollen among the flowers, unbothered by one another. It was a prosperous sight of nature.

“You collapsed before I even acted?”

The person sitting among the flowers had a sallow complexion. He was thin, had poor posture, and was wearing a slightly loose Taoist robe, which looked extremely ill-fitting. However, just from judging his villainous face at a glance, he looked somewhat similar to II-49. The two people with such similar appearances were equally paranoid and narrow-minded, and extremely vengeful.

In the beginning, when they were both II-ranked, they had disputes because of their similar stature, but the conflict and hatred between them had grown deeper and deeper over the years. There were definitely not many people who could recognize the descendant of the eagle flutist just by the difference in hair length, except for those top-notch tour guides and bigwig tourists.

II-50 and II-49 had been at odds for many years, and the person who understood you best was your enemy. The relationship between the two of them was exactly this kind of incompatible relationship.

“Oh, I’m II-49 now, haha, Hair Ghost, oh, Hair Ghost, you deserve to be trampled under my feet.” Bee Master laughed hoarsely.

All of a sudden, a field of flowers in the northeast corner of the garden quickly morphed—the blooming flowers appeared lifeless as if they were about to wither. Bee Master fixed his gaze on that spot, and with a flick of his finger, the land and the flowers on it were rolled up like sod, exposing many human bones buried in the uncovered soil!

Those human bones were all burnt yellow and black. When a gust of wind blew from nowhere, they were all turned into bone powder.

The ring on Bee Master’s thin finger flashed, and a fresh corpse appeared again. Then, he took out a blood-red gemstone the size of a pomegranate. The color of the gemstone was appalling, the surface seemed to be flowing with thick plasma, and some tiny worms writhed and squirmed in the plasma. It was actually a strange-looking and small honeycomb.

Bee Master threw the bloody honeycomb onto the corpse. Within a few seconds, the fresh corpse was devoured by the bees, leaving only bones. Bee Master swung his finger again, and the soil returned to its place, covering the bones. Nourished by the human bones, the withered flowers on the land bloomed again, and bees fluttered around them to collect pollen. The scene became beautiful again.

“If I want to raise a queen bee, the blood bees need to have a better quality corpse.”

Bee Master took the hive back and looked at it, frowning and muttering to himself, very dissatisfied. The reason why he had given the three blood bee chrysalises to IV-1 was because the corpses deep in the ruins of northern Tibet were rich in nourishment, like the ancient Loulan Kingdom. As long as IV-1 could obtain a few dried corpses, it would help him in raising the queen bee.

If he raised a new queen bee, he would definitely be able to firmly secure the ranking of II-49, and he might even jump a few further ranks.

Bee Master wasn’t like II-49, who had a bigwig tour guide like Puppeteer as his backer. Although he had the Slaughterer Alliance behind him, the Slaughterer Alliance itself was full of lunatics. No one would avenge him if the tour guide ranked II-50 was killed.

II-50’s priority was strengthening himself, and he was also aiming to attend the year-end celebration. He’d heard there were prominent figures above who needed pure demonic bee royal jelly, so he thought about cultivating a queen bee. First, it was because the queen bee could strengthen himself, and second, he could offer royal jelly to the prominent figures. This could also be an alternate source of income, so it was like killing two birds with one stone.

As for III-9, III-250, and so on, although II-50 also thought that he might fortunately catch them and exchange them for monstrous amounts of resources from others, he decided to make use of his own efforts to accomplish his goals. Moreover, he didn’t visit the forums and rarely paid attention to livestreams. When IV-1 was leading a tour moments ago, II-50 was butchering people, looking for fresh corpses to raise his flowers and bees.

Who would have thought this would happen? While he was raising his bees, Bee Master almost jumped up when he gave a casual glance toward the livestream.

He was currently looking at the scene of Wei Xun turning on the strong flashlight, revealing a scene of dried corpses scattered all over the ground!

So many corpses! The crystal corpse, the corpse of a thousand-year-old Xiangxiong warrior, the dried corpse of a gusin that contained powerful energy. It was a whole buffet of high-end corpses. This was simply the beekeeping paradise he’d dreamed of!

IV-1 was truly capable!

With so many good corpses, he wouldn’t have to worry about raising a blood queen bee. He could even even raise a more powerful queen bee!

The always indifferent Bee Master laughed excitedly, but when he was filled with ambition, he saw the person jumping among the corpses… Who was this?

They were not IV-1!

The tour guide’s livestream split screen was usually in the middle, so Bee Master instinctively thought that the screen in the middle featured IV-1, but after a closer look, it seemed wrong.

IV-1 wasn’t so good-looking!

He felt that something was wrong, so he watched the replay of the livestream again, and after watching it, he drank five catties of honey angrily, only then suppressing the extreme anger that had almost caused him to mutate.

This was not IV-1, but a newcomer tourist!

IV-1 was trampled under this newcomer tourist’s foot on the first day of the tour!

It was no wonder that he was not in the middle of the split screen of the livestream. He had been seriously injured by this newcomer before he even reached the first scenic spot. It had also almost cost him his life?!

Now all his tour guide props were on this newcomer tourist, who had become the leader of the tour group, so his livestream screen had been moved to the center, and IV-1’s livestream screen had fallen to the corner?

IV-1, you’re really great!

Bee Master was furious. He hated that he couldn’t shred IV-1, who’d thrown all his face away, and feed his corpse to the bees directly!

But after his rage subsided, Bee Master calmed down. Judging from IV-1’s current predicament, it was impossible for him to collect all kinds of dried corpses for him. However, the newcomer tourist was anything but ordinary.

After thinking about it briefly, Bee Master immediately sent a message to IV-1, sternly ordering him to atone for his crimes and use the bee venom to control Wei Xun.

Instead of putting his money on IV-1 again, Bee Master felt that this newcomer might possess good luck and obtain more dried corpses.

Moreover, he had good aptitude. If he was a Class X Special Tourist, he would definitely be more promising than IV-1 in the future. Whether he cultivated Wei Xun himself or dedicated Wei Xun to the higher-ups, they were both excellent options. If he were just a tourist, his performance on this tour would be sufficient for him to be on the Rising Star Tourist Leaderboard. Being able to control him was absolutely beneficial and harmless to Bee Master.

This was a great opportunity! With the year-end celebration approaching, he had to seize every opportunity that came to him.
