II-49 definitely had not used the connection shared between the child and mother bee to kill the mother bee because he was merciful. Bee Master knew that the Hair Ghost II-49 was very powerful, and he was the best at connecting the dots. He could easily find the mother bee using the child bee and kill it without being physically present there.
In the scarce few battles they’d had, II-49 had always wanted to kill Bee Master’s mother bee, but unfortunately, Bee Master had been on guard and protected it, due to which Hair Ghost II-49 could not succeed. But this time, Bee Master almost had capsized in the gutter.
Bee Master knew that II-49 would never hold back against him, and the parasitic bee had broken contact with Bee Master as soon as it entered the body of the descendant of the eagle flutist, which made Bee Master even more convinced of this.
From his point of view, II-49 had failed to kill the mother bee through the child bee only because he couldn’t do it.
Was it because his control over the descendant of the eagle flutist was not complete? Or was it true that the descendant of the eagle flutist was injured and poisoned, and II-49 had to use his ghost hair to sustain the descendant of the eagle flutist’s life, so II-49 couldn’t spare the effort to kill his mother bee?
Was the child bee completely dead, or was it still in the body of the descendant of the eagle flutist?
In any case, this was good news for Bee Master.
“I still have another child bee, but you can’t possibly let the descendant of the eagle flutist swallow another child bee again.”
Bee Master snorted and laughed, his giant bee-like eyes gradually became smaller, and the traces of mutation on his body gradually disappeared.
“I’m not in a hurry, not in a hurry.”
He only had a child bee left. If he did not force his way into the tour, he would only have one more chance to act upon. Although Bee Master felt that since the descendant of the eagle flutist had swallowed his parasitic bee, he would definitely not feel good and may fall into a coma right away…he still needed to be cautious.
As to what a disgusting shit stirrer II-49 was, Bee Master had a deep understanding of it. If he still had the strength to swallow his last child bee, it would be a big loss to Bee Master!
“Anyway, he has been poisoned by the parasitic bee, so let me see how long the descendant of the eagle flutist can live.”
Bee Master stared at the livestream screen. As the face of the descendant of the eagle flutist turned paler, he sneered, feeling a little regretful in his heart. The parasitic bees were mainly used to parasitize other organisms, and their toxicity was not as strong as that of normal child bees. If a normal child bee had been swallowed instead, he was afraid that the descendant of the eagle flutist would have decomposed into a pool of black water.
As for whether the child parasitic bee was still alive, and whether it could be used to control the descendant of the eagle flutist… Bee Master shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He’d sent the bees in this time to obtain more dried corpses, control Wei Xun, and get more resources, not to compete with II-49!
What was more, even if he didn’t want to think about it, the fact that the child bee had broken off contact as soon as he had entered II-49’s body still made Bee Master fearful. This fool II-49 was able to hold his position not only because of the power behind him, but also because he himself could not be underestimated.
Bee Master would bide his time until the poison of the parasitic bee spread throughout the descendant of the eagle flutist’s body, or when he separated from Wei Xun, before making a move.
It seemed that Wei Xun was an adventurous person, and he would definitely leave the tour group to explore alone again. Then, he would get/have his chance!
“Hahahaha, I’m going to piss you off, I’m going to piss you off, II-50, I’m going to piss you off to death!”
Hair Ghost II-49 laughed wildly as the long hair coiled behind his head automatically untied and fluttered because of his jubilant mood.
The joy II-49 felt was better than having ten hair treatments done!
“You didn’t expect it, did you, II-50. That I would have swallowed the bee chrysalis that you expended so much effort to raise!”
II-49 wished to use a telescope to see II-50’s sallow face that was tinged iron blue. But even if he couldn’t see it, his imagination alone was enough to make him extremely happy!
It seemed that II-50 had converted the child bee into a parasitic bee, and wanted to use it to parasitize Wei Xun.
After laughing, II-49 also began to think. If he had to say, it was a risky act to use the descendant of the eagle flutist to swallow the bee chrysalis. Although there were two ghost hairs in the descendant of the eagle flutist at this moment, the descendant of the eagle flutist had a mortal body after all. He might have been turned into a pool of black water immediately after being poisoned by the demonic bee.
In that case, Hair Ghost II-49 decided to act upon his plans. It was not only to thwart Bee Master’s plan, but also to take the opportunity to wipe out one of his bees!
Just as Bee Master understood him very well, II-49 also comprehended Bee Master very well. He knew what was most precious to Bee Master, the crux to his trump card, the three mother bees. If Bee Master wanted to transmit information out from the tour, the child bee must be connected to the mother bee.
If he could take this opportunity to get rid of one of Bee Master’s mother bees and weaken his strength, it would definitely be worth it!
“It’s a pity that the bee was very powerful, otherwise… But fortunately, it was transformed into a parasitic bee, if not…”
Inwardly, II-49 resented that Bee Master had transformed the parasitic bee at some point. The bee not only swallowed one of his ghost hairs, but also hid it so that his ghost hair could not be found.
But that was fine too… If the parasitic bee had blown itself up per usual, II-49 would have had no chance of finding the mother bee through the child bee. Now it was just hiding, and as long as it was still in the descendant of the eagle flutist’s body, II-49 would find it sooner or later, and he would definitely wipe out one of the mother bees!
He proclaimed this in his heart, but II-49 knew that his confrontation with Bee Master had already consumed a ghost hair in his body, and the descendant of the eagle flutist had been poisoned by the parasitic bee.
It seemed to others that he had ruined Bee Master’s great plans, but in fact, II-49 had not reaped much benefits from it. If the descendant of the eagle flutist had really died from the bee venom, it would have been difficult for him to find another chance to invade the tour, with the exception of using his true body to invade the tour.
“I have to be sensible, be calm, fortunately, fortunately…hoho, hahaha.”
II-49 laughed again at his good luck. If the descendant of the eagle flutist had died, he could only wait until he invaded the tour himself if he wanted to control Wei Xun. But now, the descendant of the eagle flutist wasn’t dead, and he only had to deal with the existence of a parasitic bee. The only problem was that it wasn’t easy to control the descendant of the eagle flutist now.
But it didn’t matter, as II-49 was well aware of how prudent Bee Master was. He definitely wouldn’t only have this chrysalis, so IV-1 must have other chrysalises in his hands. However, Bee Master only had three mother bees in total, so IV-1 would not have more than two cocoons left in his hands.
According to Bee Master’s stingy and cautious personality, Hair Ghost II-49 guessed that he wouldn’t make a move soon. He would probably wait until the descendant of the eagle flutist Hair Ghost II-49 was controlling died from being poisoned, or when he and Wei Xun were no longer together to act.
Therefore, he planned to control Wei Xun before that!
As long as Wei Xun was controlled first, II-49 was confident that no matter how many chrysalises Bee Master has, he could handle it.
“That hateful, annoying…”
The scornful fact was that the descendant of the eagle flutist was still a little out of his grasp! Although II-49 didn’t want to admit it, the parasitic bee was indeed better at parasitizing than his ghost hair. Obviously, within the descendant of the eagle flutist’s body, there were two ghost hairs to deal with the parasitic bee, but the bee was able to wreck so much havoc and cause one of his hairs to go missing. That being said, the descendant of the eagle flutist still wasn’t completely controlled by him, either.
Should he add another ghost hair to the fray?
II-49 was extremely hesitant about adding another ghost hair. The ghost hairs he had consumed on the descendant of the eagle flutist would then be a full three strands, which was one-third of his total ghost hairs!
Was it worth it to expend so many resources on Wei Xun? II-49 deliberated inwardly that if he could actually invade the tour for one minute, it would be more than enough to snatch Wei Xun away.
What was hateful was that he hadn’t received new orders from Puppeteer, so II-49 could only suspend his actions, reserving this method as a last resort. One must know that controlling the ghost hair in the tour consumed more of his power, but the strength that could be displayed was less than half that of a normal ghost hair, which was simply a waste.
But when II-49 thought of Bee Master, he couldn’t hold back the anger in his heart.
“Bee Master, Bee Master.”
Having made a decision in his heart, even though II-49 was still unwilling, he took out a piece of ghost hair and weaved it into his puppet, cursing Bee Master with the most vicious and obscene language. His spite was also reflected in his actions. If Bee Master hadn’t gotten in the way, II-49 could have controlled Wei Xun with a single ghost hair and finished him off, so there would have been no need to weave a second or third hair into it.
And his best opportunity, when he had shared the car with Wei Xun, had already been missed. Now that Wei Xun and the descendant of the eagle flutist had already split up into different cars, he could only act at night.
“I’m going to make him my slave tonight!”
II-49 weaved the ghost hair into the hair puppet, and laughed heartily and happily.
“Bee Master, you should just be trampled under my feet!”
.
Hm? Another strand?
Wei Xun was keenly aware that another hair-like thing had invaded the body of the descendant of the eagle flutist, and it was connected end to end with the previous one, seemingly fused yet separated from the previous strand. The sight was very strange.
Let’s not worry. Let’s wait and see.
With a change in his thoughts, the agitated Parasitic Bee 1, which was originally in the body of the descendant of the eagle flutist, immediately calmed down again. Its concealment skills were so high that it was not discovered by the two strands of hair.
“Let’s carry on heading forward.”
The news of IV-1’s sneak attack caused everyone to panic. Wei Xun frowned inwardly when he saw it, but he still had an unperturbed expression. Still calm, he expressed, “The descendant of the eagle flutist will go to Qin Xinrong’s car. IV-1’s main target is me.”
One of the ghost hairs in the descendant of the eagle flutist’s body was consumed, but another one was added immediately. This showed that II-49’s scheme wasn’t granular, and he couldn’t give II-49 the opportunity to come into contact with him at close range.
“I’ll be counting on you guys.”
Wei Xun patted Qin Xinrong and the others on their shoulders one by one, and implanted insect eggs on the surface of their skin. If there was any movement from the ghost hairs, the parasitic bee in the descendant of the eagle flutist could stop them for a moment, and his eggs would be able to spot the problem immediately.
After a delay of half an hour, the convoy continued to advance towards Xiaolin Temple. Compared with the arrangement made previously, the current formation of cars appeared to stick to each other much closer, and the previous sloppiness and relaxation had been swept away. Wei Xun had Ji Hongcai be the new driver in his car. Ji Hongcai was more experienced and stronger, but at this moment, his whole body was tense as he stared at the road ahead.
The snow leopard didn’t care about the fact that a new person had entered the car, and just growled and warned the newcomer in the car as usual. When Wei Xun held its paw and wiped the snake blood that was staining it, the snow leopard stopped growling and snorted at Wei Xun. Its plush long tail patted Wei Xun’s leg happily. Without that thing in the way, it could return to the back seat and lie on Wei Xun’s lap.
However, Wei Xun was distracted. He controlled the parasitic bee in the body of the descendant of the eagle flutist, and found that the child bee was very different from ordinary demonic insects. It had a deeper connection with the mother bee. Xiaocui could pass energy to the child bee, and the child bee could pass the things in its body to Xiaocui.
For example, the ghost hair trapped by the child bee. It was a real strand of hair, but it was full of energy and resentment. If it was swallowed by an ordinary demonic monster, one was afraid that the demonic monster would easily be controlled by the hair. The hair would then break out of the monster’s body.
However, the parasitic bee was specially cultivated by Bee Master. It was different, or in other words, all the demonic bees he cultivated had the function of being able to grab onto hair, especially using its special golden yellow liquid. Once the hairs were wrapped in the liquid, the ghost hair would be sealed. Even the owner of the ghost hair wouldn’t be able to sense it afterwards.
Hand me the ghost hair.
Wei Xun gave the order, and within a few seconds, the half-solidified, half-liquefied ghost hair wrapped in golden liquid was handed over to Xiaocui from the child bee. Xiaocui then handed over to Wei Xun. The golden liquid was half the size of a small fingernail, appeared as magnificent as gilt, and inside it was an extremely long black hair curled into a ball.
However, Wei Xun didn’t notice the black hair at first. Instead, all his attention fell on the solidified liquid droplet. Just smelling it made him feel refreshed, and his demonic power that had been restless after devouring the devil calmed down a lot.
What was this droplet?
