Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears Chapter 306: Beast Master Achieved? Gu Yuexi Calls Chu Sheng

The Gu Yuexi Water Clone erged from the Water Mirror and floated silently in mid-air.

Her cold gaze slowly fell upon Chu Sheng.

Then, her red lips parted slightly. With a voice devoid of emotion, yet clear and pleasant, she slowly spoke:

"Master... what is your command?"

AHAHAHAHAHA!

Hearing that one word—"Master"—co from "Gu Yuexi," Chu Sheng roared with laughter in his mind.

’So satisfying!’

’This is just too damn satisfying!’

’Does this count... as a special kind of Beast Master?’

The clone summoned by the Water Mirror Technique completely obeys the caster’s will.

"Go. Enter that passage and scout the way for your master."

"Yes, Master."

The Gu Yuexi Water Clone gave a slight nod. Without a hint of hesitation, her form flickered and she shot into the left fork in the path as a streak of light.

’Heheh, perfect!’

’This little trick is pure genius, letting tackle two paths at once!’

Chu Sheng watched the Gu Yuexi Water Clone’s retreating figure, rubbing his hands together in satisfaction.

Then, he casually flew into the right-hand passage himself.

...

「anwhile.」

On another main path within the cave, Qin Wudao and his group had just finished a battle.

Dozens of Soldier Bee corpses lay at their feet, and the air was thick with the foul, mixed stench of burnt flesh and blood.

"These Soldier Bees are way tougher than the worker bees outside!"

one of the upperclassn said, his voice still shaking with fear.

Qin Wudao withdrew his Thunder Spear. Though a trace of fatigue showed on his face, his gaze remained sharp and confident.

He glanced at the Soldier Bee corpses on the ground and snorted.

"They’re just a swarm of reckless insects. Nothing to fear."

He raised his head and looked toward the depths of the cave. The ever-intensifying spiritual fluctuations made his eyes burn with fervent desire.

"The hive must be just ahead!"

He was quite satisfied with his group’s rate of progress.

In his mind, Gu Yuexi was most likely still bogged down on the outskirts, struggling against the endless swarms of worker bees. She was probably already locked in a bitter fight.

’Once I’m the first to find the hive, eliminate the Queen Bee, and complete the mission...’

’When that ti cos, we’ll see if that woman has anything left to be arrogant about!’

’He would use his perfect performance on this mission to make Gu Yuexi understand exactly who the real powerhouse is!’

"Let’s go! We end this quickly!"

With a grand wave of his hand, Qin Wudao took the lead and strode deeper into the cave.

Although his teammates were exhausted, they could only force themselves to rally and follow him.

They proceeded along the passage, and soon, a strange glimr of light appeared up ahead.

The light grew brighter, and the cavern began to widen.

Finally, as they erged from the end of the passage, the space before them opened up dramatically.

Even soone as proud and arrogant as Qin Wudao couldn’t help the way his pupils contracted, his face revealing an unconcealable shock at the sight before him.

They now stood inside an imnse underground grotto.

The entire grotto was almost completely filled by a single, massive, phosphorescent hive!

It was huge. Unbelievably huge.

The entire hive wasn’t made of ordinary dirt or wood chips, but of a strange, semi-transparent crystal that emitted a soft, phosphorescent glow.

Light flowed across its surface in shifting colors, illuminating the dark grotto and bathing it in a dreamlike, breathtakingly beautiful radiance.

"We’re here!"

"My god... Is this... the nest of the Bloodthirsty Demon Bees?"

"It’s... it’s magnificent..."

The group exclaid one after another, utterly stunned.

Qin Wudao had to take a deep breath to recover from the shock.

His eyes burning with anticipation, he could no longer hold back and flew toward the giant, phosphorescent hive, taking the lead.

Soon, they found an entrance at the base of the hive.

Without a mont’s hesitation, Qin Wudao decisively led the way inside.

VMMMM—

The mont they entered the hive, it was as if they had stepped into an entirely new world.

It appeared to be a bizarre space constructed from countless hexagonal cells joined together.

Every wall was made of the sa phosphorescent crystal, its surface coated in a sticky liquid.

It wasn’t honey, though. Instead, it slled of blood.

After entering the first cell, Qin Wudao and the others quickly began to survey their surroundings.

In this first cell, aside from the entrance they had just co through, there was an identical opening on the opposite wall leading to the next cell.

They quickly entered the next cell.

This second cell, however, had two paths. They could either continue straight or turn right, each leading to a different cell.

The entire structure was like a maze of countless interconnected cells... a honeycomb labyrinth!

A hive’s internal structure is, by its very nature, the perfect labyrinth.

’Which way do we go?’

Everyone hesitated, but ultimately, Qin Wudao made the decision, striding into the cell straight ahead.

However, with their attention focused on the path forward, they failed to notice...

...that the entrance they had just co through was sealing itself shut. As if alive, it rapidly grew and nded itself, until it beca a smooth, unbroken, phosphorescent wall.

The entrance was gone.

And not just the entrance! The opening connecting the second and third cells had also vanished without a sound.

It was as if sothing was deliberately controlling it all.

...

In the third cell, Qin Wudao was just about to press onward.

"W-Wait! Everyone, look behind us!"

Suddenly, the youngest student in the group cried out, his voice choked with tears.

Everyone whipped around, and the color drained from their faces.

"The way back... it’s gone?"

"What happened? The wall... it sealed itself?"

The group imdiately fell into a panic.

One of the more hot-tempered upperclassn imdiately stepped forward, gathered all his strength, and slamd his fist into the newly ford phosphorescent wall.

But the punch, powerful enough to shatter stone, was like a pebble tossed into the ocean. It rely created a faint ripple on the wall’s surface, leaving not a single mark.

"Spiritual Attacks don’t work either!"

Another mber of the group tried and shook his head in despair.

Qin Wudao frowned. Although he, too, was surprised, he kept the disdainful expression fixed on his face.

He snorted and berated them,

"What’s there to be afraid of? You’re this terrified over a minor setback?"

"So our retreat is cut off. We weren’t planning on turning back anyway!"

"We just need to fight our way to the heart of the nest and kill the Queen Bee. Once she’s dead, this whole damn place will fall apart on its own!"

His words were like a shot of adrenaline, temporarily steadying his panicked teammates.

’That’s right,’ they thought. ’As long as we kill the Queen Bee, all our problems will be solved!’

With that, Qin Wudao turned to lead them toward the next cell.

His principle was simple: when at a fork, always choose left.

However, at that very mont.

VMMMM—BZZZZZZ—!

A buzzing, far denser and more piercing than anything they had heard before, suddenly erupted from all directions!
