Chapter 117: Yin-Yang Bees

A peculiar-looking little bee hovered in front of Hua Mi.

Why was it peculiar? Its appearance was asymmetrical.

Not its limbs.

But the colors on its body were asymmetrical, unlike the typical symmetry seen in ordinary bees.

Half black, half white.

Separated by an "S" curve running through the middle of its body.

Evoke the image of a Tai Chi diagram.

Initially thought to name it "Tai Chi Bee."

However, that name felt too lofty, a bit overbearing.

Thus, settling for the name "Yin-Yang Bee."

Ignoring its peculiar appearance for a moment.

Its abilities were quite unique.

The Yin-Yang Bee could generate a peculiar magical field around itself, which Hua Mi referred to as the "Yin-Yang Field."

Strictly speaking, this magical field came in two types: Yin Field and Yang Field.

Controlled by its thoughts, they could transform between each other.

While in the Yin Field, it could render objects entering its domain motionless.

For instance, throwing a stone towards the Yin-Yang Bee in the Yin Field state.

The stone, upon entering the field, would lose its kinetic energy.

But the lost energy was actually stored within the field.

If, while the stone hadn't yet exited, it were immediately transformed into the Yang Field, it would turn motionless into motion again, hurling the stone back.

In simple terms, it was "rebound."

Not just physical items could rebound.

Even magic.

Imagine a formation of Yin-Yang Bees blocking the way, or more covertly, concealed beneath their black robes a set of physical-magic dual-defense armor.

Of course, a single Yin-Yang Bee could only endure a limited amount of energy, so the more, the better.

Currently, he had ten ordinary bee groups remaining.

Converted four into Yin-Yang Bees directly.

The remaining six, all transformed into Ashfire Bees - a total of 12 Ashfire Bees, of which he planned to carry four for combat.

"Need to buy more bee groups."

For the Ashfire Bees used in honey gathering, a greater arrangement was necessary.

The previous yield produced secondary products that directly augmented his attributes, raising his expectations for this bee species; it was currently his favorite.

Regarding this newcomer, the Yin-Yang Bee.

In terms of combat, its role was unquestionable, even surpassing that of the Ashfire Bees.

But regrettably, it lacked a honey sac, reducing its rank in Hua Mi's estimation.

Comparing the two worlds at a macro level, the other world and Earth seemed entirely different, including in history, geography, and other major aspects.

But upon closer analysis of some details, like daily life, racial characteristics, and more, numerous similarities emerged between the other world and Earth, with some places being identical - including certain physical laws.

And one more glaring similarity: both worlds had the human species.

And many other creatures were also common.

As for whether there was any connection between the two worlds, it was difficult to say.

Hua Mi didn't dare openly ask the people from the other world, primarily fearing any trouble it might stir up for Earth.

He could only search for traces within books.

There was another curiosity that intrigued him: the owner of the small wooden house. Was she really the mysterious person called "Alyss"?

...

The following day, Hua Mi returned to the other world.

The four Yin-Yang Bees had all completed their transformation.

Regarding the practical combat abilities of this bee species, Hua Mi decided to conduct an experiment.

Covering all the Yin-Yang Bees beneath his black robe, he called Xiao Bai over.

"Come, fire at me."

"?"

Xiao Bai tilted her head, looking at him puzzledly.

Although she resembled an emotionless young girl, her eyes were akin to those observing someone abnormal.

Hua Mi thought his actions indeed seemed somewhat abnormal.

It was just an experiment; why insist on personally participating?

So, controlling the Yin-Yang Bees to form a spherical array, he directed Xiao Bai to fire at the bee cluster.

This time, Xiao Bai had no doubts. Holding her staff, a ball of Ashfire shot straight towards the bee cluster.

At this moment, the bees were in the Yin Field.

As soon as the Ashfire ball touched the Yin Field, it immediately lost its forward momentum and transformed. It elongated into a fire snake, continuously rotating around the bee cluster.

Hua Mi could distinctly feel the energy of the flame lingering within.

Immediately, he controlled the bee cluster, transforming it into the Yang Field.

Boom

The flame reassembled into a fireball, flying downward, creating a vast expanse of wet ground in the snowy field.

Success!

Though controlling the rebound of the fireball still lacked proficiency and accuracy needed improvement.

But for a first attempt, this result was quite impressive.

As Hua Mi was about to continue practicing, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

Turning around, it was the centaur, Nite.

His teleportation gate had been completed.

Just one night, and the efficiency was remarkable.

This was the strength of high intelligence races, huh?
