Chapter 973 - I Don’t Want Such a Master Even if You Beat Me to Death!

“I’ve summoned it!”

Sun Mo’s brows were tightly furrowed.

Little Silver’s element was in the air. Once it got close to the ground, the degree of danger it faced would be greatly enhanced.

Right now, this place was filled with great teachers and evil people from the Dark Dawn, and there were also the greenhaze aboriginals. There were so many experts here and once Little Silver was discovered, it would surely trigger a hunt and intense snatching for it.

Honestly speaking, the most valuable secret treasure in this experimental ground might not even be as valuable as Little Silver.

“We can only gamble.”

Sun Mo sighed.

Waiting was the most arduous thing to do. Even though the duration was only a few minutes, a minute was like a year.

Liu Mubai couldn’t move and could only fall into a daze. He felt like a stone statue, and he was in this situation before the woman he liked. It displayed his uselessness even more.

“The world is too vast while I’m too tiny and inconsequential!”

Liu Mubai’s heart state had improved. In the future, he was prepared to use a gaze filled with reverence to look at the world.

(If I can return alive, I might as well devote my efforts to research and passing on knowledge!)

(What’s the point of fighting for a false reputation?)

Just when Liu Mubai was distracted, a shout from Jin Mujie woke him up.

“It’s here!”

But after Jin Mujie saw that the thing flying in was a huge bee, she was astonished.

“Ah? This is an eight-gate cloud? It is indeed beautiful!”

Liu Mubai’s eyes were wide open.

The bee’s body had golden and black patterns, shining with a layer of light. Its wings were flapping and emitting a low buzzing noise.

The most conspicuous part was its large compound eyes. When you matched gazes with it, it felt like it could see through your soul.

(Wait a minute! But why does the appearance of this fellow seem to be like a bee? Could it be an illusion?)

“Nope, this fellow is a crown bee.”

Sun Mo glanced at the giant bee whose size was about half a meter. This should be a queen bee, right?

As expected, a few seconds after it flew into the corridor, a large number of bees started flying in as well. A short time later, this place seemed to be filled with flying golden bees.

“Ah?”

Liu Mubai’s fine hair stood up. What should they do now?

These bees were so large, just a few of them were enough to sting someone to death, right?

The stinger of the queen bee was stained with the color red. Evidently, it had killed quite a few people. After it saw Sun Mo, it immediately flew over rapidly.

(There’s no mistake. It is this human, his body has the smell of the Life-Death Flower. This damnable thief, I’m going to kill him!)

Sun Mo didn’t even think about it and directly cast Land Proof.

Pak!

A golden light shot forth.

The bee attempted to evade but it was useless. The light directly hit its body.

Pak!

The queen bee shuddered and almost fell onto the ground. However, it soon regained its balance. After that, it was thoroughly enraged and started making squeaking sounds.

Hu~

The bees behind it immediately swept forth like a golden-colored tide.

Swish! Swish!

Sun Mo was afraid of failure, and he continued casting Land Proof. It was a pity that after five casts, he exhausted all his spirit qi. As to whether it succeeded or not, it could only depend on his luck.

“Oh no, how swollen would I become now?”

Even if Liu Mubai died, he wanted to die with a proper appearance. However, he soon didn’t have the time to think nonsensical thoughts because the swarm of bees already rushed over. When they were about to clash, it was as though they were tides that rammed into a huge dam and got directly blocked.

Great Desolation Dragon, Dragon Might Prevails!

Boom!

Sun Mo’s mental energy that had been enhanced by the Battle God seeped out and blasted the bees, causing them to feel the most terrifying shock.

At the very least, one-fifth of the bees fell onto the ground with a thud and died from fright.

The remaining ones either turned around or avoided Sun Mo’s group by swerving, grazing their bodies along the walls as they were thrown into chaos.

Although it was a queen bee of the crown bees, its body was shuddering from the impact.

Sun Mo gritted his teeth and squeezed out his life energy, transforming it into one more cast of the spiritual divine language.

Swish~

Golden light shone on the queen bee’s body. This time around, the light didn’t fade. After it stopped for a few seconds, it melded into the queen bee’s body and branded its soul.

Contract concluded.

The queen bee started. After it understood what had just happened, it got enraged.

Wu~

An intense soundwave immediately blasted out. Sun Mo and the others were engulfed by it and felt their inner organs were on the verge of exploding. It was exceedingly hard to bear.

Ka! Ka! Ka!

Among these people, Liu Mubai’s strength was the weakest, hence, his bones emitted the loudest sound. The sound resembled something bearing weight over its limits. Even his skin had cracked apart.

“Hurry up and stop!”

Sun Mo roared.

The queen bee eventually stopped not because it wanted to listen to Sun Mo’s command, but because if Sun Mo died, it would die as well. It simply wasn’t worth it.

“You are a thief. Quickly release me from the contract!”

The soul of the queen bee was roaring in anger.

“You are then the thief, your whole family are thieves.”

Sun Mo directly shot back.

At such a time, his momentum absolutely mustn’t be weak.

“You stole my Life-Death Flower.”

The queen bee reproached.

“Stop farting. Would it respond to you if you called out to it?”

“I’ve already accompanied it for 300 years!” The queen bee coldly laughed.

“If I have you by my side for 300 years, can I say that you belong to me then?” Sun Mo mocked.

“Eh!”

The queen bee was at a loss for words.

“You are clearly coveting the Life-Death Flower, but it was taken by me in the end. This was why you were enraged.”

Sun Mo analyzed. “If my analysis isn’t wrong, you basically don’t have the ability to pluck the flower, right?”

“I’m leaving it there to harvest its nectar!”

The queen bee was arguing for the sake of arguing.

Who wouldn’t want a good item that could increase one’s lifespan by several centuries?

Although the Life-Death Flower was a plant, it possessed intelligence. There was no problem if the queen bee wanted to disseminate its pollen, but if the queen bee wanted to eat it, it would immediately sink into an illusion.

“Let’s ignore this for now. Do you know what’s wrong with our bodies?”

Sun Mo asked.

“No idea!” The queen bee naturally wouldn’t care about this. “Quickly dispel the contract!”

“Impossible. Unless you remove the toxins in our bodies.”

Sun Mo contemplated on how he would be able to persuade this bee.

“I can’t do it.”

The queen bee didn’t want to care about this matter.

“Can’t the poison in your stinger neutralize it?”

Sun Mo activated Divine Sight, but it only showed the words ‘unknown target’.

“Do you want to die?”

The queen bee laughed mockingly. “Even if the target was an ancient gigantic beast, it would die very quickly after being stung by me.”

“Sun Mo, how are things?”

Liu Mubai was extremely anxious as he watched Sun Mo and the queen bee confronting each other.

Because the two of them were communicating via their souls, Liu Mubai wasn’t able to hear their words.

“Sun Mo, when it roared earlier, I felt that my body could move slightly.”

An Xinhui was very meticulous and discovered this blindspot.

“What’s going on with your roar earlier?”

Sun Mo asked. When he saw that the queen bee remained uncooperative, it threatened, “I used a spiritual divine language to set up a contract with you. If I die, you will die too. By saving me now, it’s equivalent to saving yourself.”

The queen bee also knew it couldn’t avoid this. It could only start to observe Sun Mo attentively.

“There’s a type of bug in your body. I think that the reason behind your immobility should have something to do with it.”

The queen bee explained.

“You can kill them, correct?”

Sun Mo felt some anticipation.

“I can kill them, but you have to dispel the contract.”

The queen bee persisted.

“If you want to die, just continue waiting then. The person who administered these bugs will soon be back.”

Sun Mo turned his head and no longer wanted to negotiate.

The queen bee sank into conflict and flew a few rounds in vexation. After that, it let out a cry toward Sun Mo.

Bzz!

This time, the soundwave entered Sun Mo’s body and started to destroy those gu-bugs.

Once the gu-bugs discovered danger, they started reacting intensely and rushed about chaotically, wanting to escape from Sun Mo’s body. They broke Sun Mo’s skin on his forehead and rushed out.

These bugs had the appearance of little red worms.

The moment they exited his body, Sun Mo regained half of his mobility.

“Kill them!”

Sun Mo urged.

Bzz!

This time around, the soundwave intensified and those worms shuddered and exploded.

“You are safe now, so you can dispel the contract now, right?”

The queen bee grumbled.

“And what about them?”

Sun Mo grew depressed. This queen bee was as expected of an old monster that had lived for many centuries. It was too cunning and it only saved him.

“Dispel the contract first before I save them.”

The queen bee was worried that Sun Mo might renege on his promise, while Sun Mo was also worried that the queen bee would kill them if it wasn’t bound by a contract. Hence, the situation sank into an impasse again.

“You have gained intelligence and should understand that it is very difficult to increase your strength by relying on your efforts alone, right? Look at us humans, we cooperate together, and we have so many major characters in the Longevity Realm.”

Sun Mo coaxed.

“I won’t treat you as my battle pet because there’s no need to. Currently, I have an eight-gate cloud and a scarab. You should have heard before about how rare the former one is. As for the latter one, it is a tomb guardian that came from an empire in the West named Egypt. Also, before this, I just gave an immortal crane its freedom.”

The queen bee quietly listened. Because they were connected by the spiritual contract, it knew that this human wasn’t lying.

After that, it grew unhappy.

(What do you mean? Are you looking down on the bee species? Based on what do you think that an immortal crane is a level higher than me?)

“I have a thousand soul pill here, and it’s suitable for experts of the Longevity Realm to consume. You can eat it!

Sun Mo took out the thousand soul pill, and its fragrance immediately permeated the air.

The spirit of the queen bee was stirred, and it immediately flew over. But after it took a sniff, it shook its head. This item might be good, but it wasn’t able to absorb it.

“Damn, I don’t know what else to give!”

Sun Mo felt a headache.

Giving the Life-Death Flower to the queen bee?

Definitely not. It was worth several centuries of life and was a priceless treasure. As for the Homeward-Bound Ginseng, that was even more impossible. It was an additional life.

Sun Mo suddenly discovered that he basically didn’t have many items he could take out in exchange.

It couldn’t possibly want cultivation arts or weapons, right?

After all, it was impossible for bugs to use them.

(Wait a minute! Cultivation arts?)

An idea suddenly flashed across Sun Mo’s mind. The Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture was something cultivated by ancient giant dragons at the very start. Didn’t this mean that beasts were able to cultivate it?

(But bugs aren’t considered beasts, right? Screw it, I will treat a dead horse as though it is a living one!)

“Queen bee, I have a divine-grade cultivation art that I can impart to you.”

Sun Mo suggested.

“Are you humans all fools?”

The queen bee mockingly replied.

Cultivation art?

(Bugs rely on the spirit qi of heavens and earth, the essence of the sun and moon, and swallowing various heavenly and earthly treasures to increase our strength.)

“Learn a part of it first before you say anything.”

Sun Mo urged.

“I do want to learn it, but do I have any limbs? Even if I learn it, how should I cultivate it?”

The queen bee suddenly felt that her future was very murky. (I don’t want such a master even if you beat me to death!)
