Hm?!

Although Wei Xun had always been paying attention to the unconscious descendant of the eagle flutist, he’d never thought that he would swallow the bee chrysalis in his mouth! The parasitic bee emerged as he swallowed it. It instantly parasitized the first person it came into contact with, meaning, the descendant of the eagle flutist.

But at the same time, two black threads as thin as strands of hair carrying extremely strong energy attacked the parasitic bee. This new force that came rushing in didn’t have good intentions!

Wei Xun immediately commanded the bee to hide, so the two black threads hit empty air. It was possible that after Wei Xun gave Xiaocui three drops of blood to help it assimilate the chrysalises, the parasitic bee that had emerged from the chrysalis was under his control just like other demonic insects that had mutated from Wei Xun’s blood. Furthermore, it possessed the similar characteristic to hide itself, which was bestowed by the demonic insect ball.

The two black threads were like piranhas searching for the hiding place of the parasitic bee. They were too long, and the two thin threads occupied most of the space. Although the parasitic bee was hidden, it was not really invisible. If the threads encountered it, it would still be found.

If there was only one thin thread, then it would be more convenient for the bee to hide.

Wei Xun commanded the bee, but unexpectedly, it seemed to obey his order. When a thin black thread wandered in front of it, the parasitic bee, with a jaw that was weird and larger than an ordinary demonic bee, would pop out like a javelin. It pierced into the center of the black thread.

The black thread wanted to immediately entangle it, while the other black thread also moved over quickly, but the speed of the parasitic bee was even faster. Its mandibles turned rapidly, and the black thread wrapped around its mandibles like a spool.

Then, the parasitic bee’s stinger lifted upwards, and a drop of golden liquid shot onto the mandible, covering the black thread like an insect trapped in amber. The black thread struggled beneath the golden liquid, but gradually weakened, and the parasitic bee took the opportunity to retract its mandibles into its body. The entire bee once again hid in the flesh and blood of the descendant of the eagle flutist.

This set of movements was carried out extremely smoothly, and took less than a second. The other black thread that rushed over quickly could only capture air. It was surprisingly unable to find any traces of the bee now.

‘This parasitic bee is so powerful!’ Wei Xun praised in his heart

However, when he saw that the parasitic bee was about to release bee venom after capturing the hair strand in order to kill the black thread and itself as well, Wei Xun changed his mind. He stopped the parasitic bee, and ordered it to move somewhere else.

It was easier to dodge the pursuit of a single thread. Soon after the parasitic bee avoided the black thread’s ambush, it successfully hid itself in the lungs of the descendant of the eagle flutist.

It was at this time that Wei Xun was able to carefully understand the abilities of the parasitic bee. After understanding it, he felt that the middle-class demonic parasitic bee was really powerful!

Not only could it subtly influence the parasitized target, but it could also make the other party subconsciously obey the orders of the parasitic bee. And it itself had paralytic bee venom, which could control the bodily condition of the parasitized target.

And it had an extra pair of mandibles compared to ordinary demonic bees. These mandibles were specially designed to catch ghost hair.

Specialized for capturing ghost hair?

Wei Xun fell deep into thought. It seemed that the black threads in the body of the descendant of the eagle flutist were hairs from Hair Ghost. But looking at the extremely proficient way that the parasitic bees dealt with the ghost hair, from waiting for an opportunity to subdue it to controlling it and then destroying it by commiting suicide, it seemed as if someone had carved these traits into its DNA. And these seemed to be completely different from the abilities a normal parasitic bee had, like someone had added this functionality to it.

Abilities could be added by mutation, surgical transformation, or at birth, and seeing the ruthlessness of the parasitic bee when it wanted to destroy the ghost hair, Wei Xun roughly understood.

The owner of this demonic bee, Bee Master, probably had a deep hatred for the mastermind behind Hair Ghost.

Wei Xun quickly saw through the ghost hair that was controlling the descendant of the eagle flutist and the special parasitic bee.

Was it because these two people outside the tour wanted to control him, Wei Xun, and also had grudges against each other?

That was why the descendant of the eagle flutist had swallowed the bee chrysalis and disrupted the actions of Bee Master. Meanwhile, the parasitic bee had a pair of mandibles specially targeting ghost hair, and it would even sacrifice itself to kill the other party.

A person who can control ghost hair… Wei Xun currently knew one person who could do so—II-49, because he had led an Intoxicating Xiangxi tour. After watching II-49’s performance in Intoxicating Xiangxi, Wei Xun had a certain understanding of him.

And the person behind IV-1, the tour guide Bee Master, happened to be the 50th-ranked tour guide of the II-rank. After Intoxicating Xiangxi, the rank of II-49 had dropped, and the rank of II-50 had risen. Could there be a conflict between them?

Assuming that the one controlling the descendant of the eagle flutist was Hair Ghost II-49, he would control him with the intention of getting close to Wei Xun, and he definitely had no good intentions. He must have the same idea as Bee Master.

But after he figured out that two II-ranked tour guides were going to attack him at the same time, Wei Xun’s expression became more relaxed.

This situation was actually better than a single Hair Ghost II-49 or Bee Master attacking him. Now, the two of them were pulling each other’s hair and playing tricks behind their backs to get back at each other, which actually gave Wei Xun more time to grow and develop his might…and if there really was animosity between them, Wei Xun could use the information gap between him and the both of them to do more things.

Like this parasitic bee.

Wei Xun had seized control of this child bee, and the mother bee behind it would definitely react to it, as there was a special link between the child and mother bee. Wei Xun had originally planned to order Xiaocui to crush the mother bee’s consciousness through the child bee, in order to prevent the transfer of control over the bee from being exposed.

But if there were ghost hairs in the descendant of the eagle flutist’s body, Bee Master would definitely be the first to suspect that it was II-49 who had broken the control.

Similarly, if II-49 lost his ghost hair, he would also think of Bee Master first.

While the two of them were fighting in the dark, it could be said that Wei Xun wase in a certain visual blind spot, able to fish in troubled waters.

In this case……

Wei Xun always liked to place big bets, and he was not the cautious type of person.

He didn’t have to kill the mother bee…

Wei Xun pondered for a few seconds, then ordered Xiaocui, ‘For the time being, only cut off the mother bee’s control over the child parasitic bee.

‘Let’s bide our time and see what will happen.’

Xiaocui had already crushed half of the mother bee’s consciousness, but after hearing Wei Xun’s words, it immediately obeyed his order.

“Aye!

“My blood bee, my blood bee! Damn it, II-49, damn!”

It was like a whirlwind had blown through Bee Master’s residence at this moment. The delicate and beautiful flowers had all been destroyed and were scattered in the mud. The bee colony was now fighting amongst themselves because of Bee Master’s abrupt anger. There were hundreds of black demonic bees in this colony, and these demonic bees were the most vicious and aggressive.

Each of them was the size of a baby’s fist, and tore apart other bees not to devour them, but to vent their desire for violence. After the ordinary bees were all killed, they began to kill each other, and for a while there were pieces of bee corpses everywhere, falling down like rain.

“Damn, that damn II-49!”

Bee Master was extremely wrathful. His sallow face turned red with anger, and a few faint black spots appeared. His eyes grew several times bigger, and his entire body looked like a strange-looking bee. He held the mutated mother bee tightly in his hand.

This mother bee was carefully fed by him and cultivated by spending a lot of resources. Although it was not as good as a true mother of the swarm to the demonic bees, demonic bees were very disciplined and group-oriented. A mere mother bee could control up to 200 bee swarms.

Although Bee Master had thousands of bees of different types, there were only six hundred demonic bees that he could use as his trump card. Relying on these 600 demonic bees, he was not only invincible but also had a good reputation among the II-ranked tour guides, earning the name of Bee Master.

And if the prowess of the six hundred middle-class demonic bees could be fully developed, then he could sprint to a higher ranking. He would be at least ranked II-40 or above.

After all, the mother bee in his hand was not a real mother of the swarm. These 600 demonic bees were commanded by three mother bees, but they were unable to cooperate and had internal strife. Therefore, they were unable to exert their full strength.

Originally, Bee Master wanted to cultivate more mother bees to expand the number of demonic bees under his command. However, he found that 600 demonic bees were the limit of his control. If he added another mother bee to expand to 800 demonic bees, these demonic bees would kill each other first.

Bee Master had no choice but to give up on this path, but he did not give up on his ambition. He wanted to raise a real mother of the swarm demonic bee, a real queen bee who could control more than a thousand demonic bees. That way, he could elevate himself from Bee Master to Demonic Bee Master! At that time, let alone competing with II-49 for rankings, he could pull every hair out of that damn II-49!

But if he wanted to raise a queen bee, he had to first cultivate a queen bee. For this reason, Bee Master searched for all kinds of corpses, spared no effort to consume the power of the mother bees, cultivated child bees to task IV-1 to enter the tour, and allowed IV-1 to contact him at any time. In order to control Wei Xun, he even consumed a mother bee and let it mutate her child bees.

Whether it was to obtain more types of corpses through Wei Xun’s tour in northern Tibet or to hand Wei Xun to the people above him after the tour in exchange for benefits, it was definitely worth it!

But all these plans were destroyed by Hair Ghost II-49!

Killing the mother bee through the connection the child bee and the mother bee shared was Hair Ghost II-49’s forte!

“II-49, II-49.”

Bee Master was in rage as he cursed, completely forgetting that he was ranked II-49 now. His tone was extremely vicious as if he wanted to eat the meat and bones of II-49 in order to relieve his heartfelt hatred!

Obviously, he’d been about to succeed, but just as he was about to succeed, the descendant of the eagle flutist controlled by II-49 had swallowed the demonic bee chrysalis! If Bee Master was only 70% or 80% sure that the descendant of the eagle flutist was controlled by II-49 before, Bee Master was now 100% sure that damn II-49 was controlling him.

Only he would rather injure the enemy one thousand times and injure himself eight hundred times to get back at the enemy. He was doing this in order to antagonize Bee Master!

Would swallowing a parasitic bee do any good to the descendant of the eagle flutist who he was controlling? Absolutely not.

But II-49 was that kind of disgusting fellow. So as long as Bee Master failed, it was considered a win to him! How could Bee Master not hate him, given that he had such a despicable way of acting!

He even suspected that when the descendant of the eagle flutist was poisoned and unconscious, it was all an act by II-49. It was done on purpose, just to be able to smoothly go to Wei Xun’s side and spoil his good plans!

Bee Master had a sullen expression on his face, holding the bee chrysalis in his mouth and making a buzzing sound. He was using a special method to communicate with the mother bee. At the same time, he wasn’t stingy with the honey and soaked the dying mother bee in a honey bottle.

Bee Master was simply trying to give medicine to a dead horse, but in fact, he held no great hopes in his heart that this would work. However, what surprised him was that the mother bee actually gradually recovered from being sluggish and dying.

And with the recovery of the mother bee, the ferocious fighting bees in his base finally stopped fighting. Excluding the bees with incomplete bodies and broken wings, there were only about a hundred of the original two hundred demonic bees remaining.

This made Bee Master feel both heartbroken and fortunate. Although the transformed mother bee could not go any further in its evolution, at least it could still control two hundred demonic bees. If the mother bee died, the two hundred demonic bees would just kill each other and die. He only had 600 demonic bees in his hand, and losing one-third of them would be considered a serious setback!

Although the mother bee looked a little stupid, it could no longer contact the child bee, and responded to the Bee Master’s orders slower than before, at least it was still alive.

Bee Master calmed down from the great sadness and the joy he just experienced and left the mother bee in the honey pot to recuperate. While his face looked gloomy, his eyes flashed in a cunning manner.
