’How is this possible?’
’Is this still a bee?’
’Its body is harder than iron?’
This was no small shock; Qin Fang was completely taken aback.
But he quickly ca to his senses. With barely a mont’s hesitation, his right hand darted into his robes and pulled out two more Darts. Just as the Giant Bee’s tail squird madly in an obvious attempt to pull its stinger from the Pig King at, he raised his hand and threw!
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
This ti, he didn’t aim for its massive head, but for the thinnest part of its body—its waist!
The two Darts sliced through the air. For this throw, Qin Fang not only used the Chasing Stars technique from his Great Success Darts, but also the Vitality he had just learned, striving to focus all his power into one point.
The speed was terrifying.
And the power behind them was even more monstrous!
In a flash of light and shadow, both Darts struck ho, one after the other.
And then...
They pierced clean through!
Too fast for the naked eye to follow, the two Darts passed through the Giant Bee’s midsection almost simultaneously.
The Giant Bee was sliced in two at the waist!
Its tail was still squirming on the Pig King at, while its upper half, bearing two pairs of wings, tumbled to the ground...
Qin Fang let out a long sigh of relief.
But before he could even begin to relax, the next mont, the Giant Bee’s severed upper body buzzed its wings and flew into the air!
Qin Fang tensed up all over again.
His hand was already reaching for another Dart!
But the next mont, he saw that while the Giant Bee’s upper half was buzzing about, it clearly couldn’t control its direction. After spiraling up and down for a mont, it finally fell to the ground with a THUD...
Just like a stone!
Qin Fang swallowed hard.
Watching both the squirming tail and the twitching upper body of the Giant Bee, he stood his ground, not daring to approach rashly.
After a minute or two, both halves finally fell still...
Only then did Qin Fang let out a long breath of air. Swallowing hard, he finally walked over.
’This Giant Bee is absolutely terrifying!’
’He knew perfectly well how powerful his Darts were now, yet he actually couldn’t pierce this seemingly fragile Giant Bee?’
’What kind of bee is this?’
’Clearly, you can’t judge these mutated creatures by any normal standards!’
Only when he was certain the Giant Bee was completely dead did he cautiously poke its corpse with the rope he was holding. After confirming there was no reaction, he dared to lift its upper half by hand.
’It feels surprisingly heavy?’
’This thing must weigh at least ten pounds, right?!’
Qin Fang was dumbfounded.
The upper half in his hand was only about the size of a bowl, yet it weighed well over ten pounds!
That was horrifying!
Most insects, after all, weren’t very heavy—otherwise, they would collapse under their own weight.
Even heavier insects usually owed their weight to an armor-like exoskeleton, like certain beetles.
But bees don’t have that kind of shell!
’And it was still this heavy?’
It completely defied logic!
’Without a doubt, this mutation also ca from that Treasure Plant down below!’
’Just what in the world is that Treasure Plant?’
Qin Fang was shaken to his core. For the first ti, he was truly feeling how extraordinary this World was.
He had heard of things like Demons and Treasure Fish before, but he’d never actually seen them.
The Martial Arts of this World were amazing, but they were still, just barely, within the realm of his understanding.
But the appearance of this Giant Bee and the Treasure Plant made Qin Fang realize that the mystical nature of this World likely far surpassed his imagination!
After steadying his nerves, Qin Fang turned his attention back to the Giant Bee’s tail...
The tail section looked soft. The Poisonous Thorn—longer than the Iron Nails he used for killing—was now mostly free...
A muscle in Qin Fang’s jaw twitched...
’That was too close!’
’If he hadn’t reacted fast enough, and if the joint at its waist hadn’t been comparatively fragile, allowing him to successfully kill it...’
’Once that Giant Bee pulled its stinger completely free...’
’...he’d probably be the one lying on the ground right now!’
Too dangerous!
The tail contained the Poison Gland, so Qin Fang didn’t dare touch it rashly.
This Giant Bee was terrifying in a way that defied all reason. He had no idea how potent its venom was or if simple skin contact would be enough to poison him, so he naturally wouldn’t risk it.
He walked over, took out his Mountain-Cutting Saber, and slowly and gently ’pried’ the Giant Bee’s tail out of the Pig King at...
Looking closer, he saw that the tip of its stinger was perfectly straight—it was the kind of Poisonous Thorn that could be used to attack repeatedly.
In the sunlight, a trace of liquid still clung to the Poisonous Thorn, a liquid that shimred with a faint blue light...
One look was all it took to know it was incredibly toxic!
After a mont’s thought, Qin Fang decided against touching it with his bare hands. He simply used his rope, wrapping it twice around the tail section and tying it off before lifting it.
He did the sa with the piece of Pig King at, tying it up with rope as well. Then he took off his outer coat, placed both the Giant Bee and the Pig King at inside, and tied the coat shut with more rope. Only when he was sure he wouldn’t co into direct contact with the tail or the at did he let out a small sigh of relief.
He cast one last glance toward the cliff, then turned and left.
He made his way down the mountain and back to Fisherman City. Only then did Qin Fang spread his coat on a table and open it, revealing the Giant Bee and the Pig King at inside.
His brow furrowed as he stared at the Giant Bee’s corpse on the table...
The sheer dangerousness of this Giant Bee had surpassed his expectations.
He had thought it might be tough before he made his move, but he never expected...
...that it would be *this* tough!
He’d gotten lucky this ti. The Giant Bee hadn’t pulled its Poison Needle out right away...
But what about next ti?
Would he be so lucky again?
