He was indeed confident he could hit all three Giant Bees.
But... there’s always that one-in-a-million chance.
’What if I miss?’
’What if I let one of the Giant Bees get away?’
’What would I do then?’
His gaze flickered, watching the Giant Bees dangling from the rope about ten ters away...
’Should I just shoot them like this?’
But that ca with its own problems.
’What if I shoot them and they fall all the way down? What then?’
The forest below was dense. Finding them would be a huge pain...
And if he couldn’t find them right away, and soone else happened to pass by and discover the Giant Bees...
The secret of Old Ox Back could be exposed!
...That was sothing he could not accept.
Even if the area was sparsely populated and the probability was extrely low.
It was still a possibility!
...Hadn’t Qin Fang run into his fair share of unexpected trouble?
This left him in a bind...
...’What do you do when the bait is too good and there are too many ’fish’ on the line?’
He thought quickly. He knew this situation couldn’t last. If the Giant Bees ate their fill, they would likely fly back to get others... or carry the food back to their hive.
That would be a massive problem!
With that in mind, Qin Fang first secured the rope, then found a large rock to weigh it down, keeping the Giant Bees suspended in place. Then, he quickly moved along the cliff face, searching for a suitable spot.
After scouting for a bit, his eyes suddenly lit up. He had found a location nearby that was perfect for his needs.
On the southern face of the peak, about ten ters down, there was actually a protruding platform. The platform was about four or five ters wide.
...’That’s enough!’
Qin Fang imdiately returned. He glanced over and saw the Giant Bees were still there, but one of them was already starting to contort its stomach, a piece of at in its mouth. It was clearly about to pull away and return to the hive!
Qin Fang quickly tugged on the rope, starting to move it toward the platform.
As the chunk of at moved, the Giant Bee instinctively grabbed it again, most likely thinking the at was still alive. It frantically writhed its stomach, squeezing its Poison Gland.
Finally, once they reached the southern platform, Qin Fang controlled the rope’s height, eventually setting the chunk of at almost directly on top of the ledge.
The three Giant Bees landed and stood on ’solid ground.’
Only then did Qin Fang flip his hand over and produce three Iron Nails...
He knew that bees have excellent eyesight. Qin Fang was currently looking down from above. Although he was peeking over the edge, he was being extrely cautious and hadn’t been spotted by the Giant Bees yet.
But if he were to pull them all the way up, any small movent on his part would surely startle them. At that point, they might attack him.
But as it was now... they hadn’t detected a threatening target, so their guard was naturally down.
...This was why Qin Fang had chosen this thod.
Holding the Iron Nails, he thought, ’This has to work!’
The next mont, with a flick of his wrist, three Iron Nails instantly transford into three streaks of black light, shooting straight toward the three Giant Bees on the platform below!
SQUELCH!
SQUELCH!
SQUELCH!
The Iron Nails that had been deflected last ti now easily pierced the Giant Bees’ bodies.
He had aid for their heads.
A large amount of fluid imdiately gushed from the bodies of the three volleyball-sized Giant Bees!
Their stomachs contracted violently in an instant, and they instinctively released a torrent of poison.
At the sa ti, they beat their wings wildly, trying to fly away.
But their tails were still stuck to the large piece of at. Weighed down by their two companions, their struggles actually brought them closer to the cliff face, not toward the open chasm.
This made the anxious Qin Fang let out a sigh of relief.
He watched carefully from above, waiting patiently.
After a minute or two, they finally stopped moving.
Qin Fang carefully pulled on the rope.
The bodies of two of the Giant Bees fell off the chunk of at, but he managed to pull one of them up.
Looking at the Giant Bee corpse before him, Qin Fang let out a long breath, a look of delight on his face.
He placed the Giant Bee corpse in his hands on the ground, then grabbed one end of the rope. After carefully observing the terrain below, he leaped down in the next mont.
It was only about ten ters from his position to the platform, but from the platform to the bottom...
...was a cliff hundreds of ters high!
One misstep would an being smashed to pieces!
But Qin Fang was one of those whose skill bred confidence. Landing on the platform, his montum slowed, and he imdiately absorbed the massive impact.
His Physique was formidable now; with a slight bend of his knees, he successfully dissipated the force.
This allowed him to land steadily on the platform.
Looking at the two Giant Bee corpses on the platform, he smiled. He then used the rope to tie up each of the bees around their middles... Then, looking up, he leaped powerfully, using the cliff face for a slight boost, and returned to the top.
He then hauled the two Giant Bees up with the rope...
...He wouldn’t dare jump back up while holding the Giant Bees. If he so much as got scratched by one of those glowing blue Poisonous Thorns in the process, he’d be a goner!
...’That other monster was tough, wasn’t it? I hit it with dozens of Iron Nails, punched more than ten bloody holes in it, and it was still alive and kicking. In the end, I had to risk my life and nearly slice it in half with my knife to kill it.’
’But the one with Wang Hu?’
’I shot Wang Hu, and that monster popped out, twitched a couple of tis...’
’And died!’
...When it ca to these things, Qin Fang didn’t dare be the least bit careless.
Looking at the three volleyball-sized Giant Bees before him, Qin Fang let out a long, satisfied breath...
The process had been a little nerve-wracking, but he was very pleased with the outco.
He gave the distant cliff one last look, then turned and descended Old Ox Back.
