Chapter 398: Chapter 390 Adding Another General_1

At this critical moment, Fourth sensed his master’s danger and had already directed his antennas towards one of the Queen Bees.

However, his mental control seemed to be ineffective against the Queen Bee.

“Master, be careful, this Queen Bee is fearsome. I locked onto it with my mental control, and it felt empty.”

Anxious, Fourth communicated with Qin Niu using spiritual power.

Qin Niu had already sensed extreme danger, and all he could do was to frantically stimulate the Everlasting Spring Technique within his body to channel more energy into his King Pig Leather Armor, making the qi armor even more solid.

But that sense of impending death still loomed over him.

In this desperate situation, the Green Demon Bee stood in front of Qin Niu.

Its body emitted streaks of black qi.

Unlike the black smoke, the qi that came out of its body was concentrated and extremely flexible.

It coiled around its body like snakes.

Following that, the Green Demon Bee, like an octopus, formed several antennas from the black qi on its body.

It then pounced towards the Queen Bee on the far left.

Both seemed to possess super flight abilities.

This was also the strongest opponent the Green Demon Bee had ever faced.

What the Green Demon Bee was now displaying appeared to be a Demonization skill.

Even Qin Niu, its master, did not know the full extent of this skill’s abilities.

In the blink of an eye, it flew in front of the Queen Bee, whose figure gradually blurred, then vanished.

A new Fire Bee Queen appeared, less than two meters away from Qin Niu.

This meant that there were always three purple Fire Bee Queens in the air.

This ability was unheard of.

Out of the three Queen Bees, likely only one was real, and the other two were probably just afterimages created by the Queen Bee.

The most astonishing part was that its real body seemed to freely switch between the three afterimages at will.

The Green Demon Bee had gone for the Queen Bee on the far left, but as it closed in, the real body of the Fire Bee Queen instantaneously switched to another of the afterimages, creating a new one.

Always maintaining three.

This was a clash of the top fighters among bees.

The venom of the Fire Bee Queen must be formidable; otherwise, it would not make Qin Niu feel a threat of death.

In addition to fending off this Queen Bee’s attacks, he also had to deal with the onslaught from a swarm of Fire Bee Generals.

“Fourth, if you can’t deal with the Queen Bee, then go after the other Generals.”

Qin Niu was still looking for a way to retreat.

If he could exit this tunnel, he could have Green Ox join the battle.

The golden light from Green Ox would undoubtedly immobilize the Queen Bee.

By then, Qin Niu would easily capture the Queen Bee.

But obviously, the Fire Bee Queen wouldn’t give him that opportunity.

It lunged at Qin Niu’s face once more.

Just as Qin Niu prepared to dodge to the side, very thin black tentacles appeared at the front, back, and sides of the Queen Bee.

They were as fine as spider silk.

Even finer than spider silk.

What kind of trick was this?

The Green Demon Bee was clearly still over there!

Qin Niu found himself exhilarated watching the two top-tier Queen Bees duel.

This Fire Bee Queen was extremely powerful; to capture it alive and tame it would be marvelous.

Its combat prowess could rival the current Green Demon Bee and undoubtedly held immense cultivation value.

It was also worthy to become Qin Niu’s new Insect Pet.

With his current strength, ordinary special insects really didn’t catch his eye.

But a Queen Bee of this caliber, naturally the more the better.

Coming across such a Heavenly Earth Strange Insect was a grand opportunity.

And in the blink of an eye, the situation on the battlefield had changed.

The thin black threads continuously closed in, trapping the purple Queen Bee within. Not just one, but all three purple Queen Bees were simultaneously bound by strands of black qi.

With this move, the Green Demon Bee caught everyone off guard.

Naturally, the purple Queen Bee didn’t want to sit and wait for death.

It began to incessantly switch from one afterimage to another.

Alas, since all three were bound, switching was futile no matter which afterimage it chose.

The Green Demon Bee’s black tentacles slowly pulled the three afterimages of the Fire Bee Queen towards it.

In just a moment, the three afterimages were drawn to its side.

Qin Niu noticed that it seemed to be especially struggling.

It looked like the Green Demon Bee wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer.

He reached into his chest, without hesitation, took out an Advanced Contract Talisman, and upon stimulating it with his power, a golden light shot towards one of the Fire Bee Queens.

Although there were three identical purple Fire Bee Queens, there should only be one that was real.

The other two were merely illusions.

Qin Niu’s golden light shot towards the Fire Bee Queen in the very center.

The golden light passed straight through it.

He finally understood why Fourth’s mental attack had been ineffective against the Queen Bee.

Because attacking it was like attacking a wisp of air.

It had only a shadow, no form, and certainly no physical existence.

How was he supposed to attack then?

This Fire Bee Queen must have touched the threshold of demons with such a powerful ability.

Qin Niu then controlled the golden light of the Contractual Talisman, aiming it at another illusionary duplicate.

It was still like shooting through a wisp of air.

Only one illusionary duplicate remained; this time there should be no mistakes.

Qin Niu controlled the golden light as it zipped towards the target, but once again, the light passed right through.

It was his first time witnessing the prowess of the Heavenly Earth Strange Insect.

This skill was no different from that of demons.

Even the Black Spider Gu was not this formidable.

“Green Demon Bee, combine its three illusionary duplicates together,” Qin Niu commanded.

The Green Demon Bee was quite intelligent, but certainly not as much as humans.

It immediately used its black touch to forcibly merge the three illusionary duplicates of the Fire Bee Queen.

As the three duplicates merged, Qin Niu once again controlled the golden light from the Contractual Talisman and shot it out.

This time it was successful.

The golden light didn’t pass through but instead hit the actual body.

It was indeed the body of the Fire Bee Queen.

The golden light wrapped around its body, continuously eroding its spiritual power, trying to bring it under control and form a master-servant contract with Qin Niu.

As the Queen Bee, it naturally refused to be enslaved.

It struggled desperately.

The golden light gradually dimmed, quickly depleting.

Qin Niu was calm and composed, as if securely seated in a fishing boat awaiting his catch.

He had prepared many Contractual Talismans, thinking that if he encountered fierce beasts, birds, or insects that were hard to subdue, he could wear them down little by little.

When the first intermediate Contractual Talisman’s golden light was about to run out, he immediately activated another to strengthen the contracting golden light.

As time swiftly passed, Qin Niu had consumed seven intermediate Contractual Talismans in a short period, and his expression grew solemn.

Spiritual power was not a problem, but there were only two intermediate Contractual Talismans left, and likewise two Advanced Contractual Talismans.

Given the current rate of consumption, even if he used up all his Talismans, subduing the Fire Bee Queen might be impossible.

“Submit to me, and I can make you stronger,” Qin Niu persuaded.

“The Green Demon Bee you are fighting is also my pet. If I weren’t strong enough, it wouldn’t follow me,” he said.

Qin Niu continuously used Bee Language to erode the will of the Fire Bee Queen.

When the last two intermediate Contractual Talismans were exhausted, he had no choice but to take out an Advanced Contractual Talisman and activate it without hesitation.

He was now in a situation he couldn’t easily get out of.

It was not an option to give up halfway.

The golden light from the Advanced Contractual Talisman was much more solid, firmly enveloping the Fire Bee Queen.

“Submit, and I guarantee I will let you advance at least one grade in a very short time,” Qin Niu promised earnestly.

He was not deceiving it.

The promises made when taming a pet must be fulfilled.

Making empty promises and deceiving them was absolutely not an option. That would make them disloyal and fill them with thoughts of rebellion and escape.

Under his verbal onslaught, the resistance of the Fire Bee Queen seemed to weaken.

The contracting golden light permeated its body, and quite a lot of it seeped inside all at once.

“That’s right, submission is not a disgrace but a way to become stronger,” Qin Niu said as he saw the effect, again breaking down its resistance.

The golden light surged forward vigorously, penetrating directly into the Queen.

It quickly subdued her.

Eventually, a master-servant contract was successfully formed. Qin Niu’s pet legion had gained yet another powerful member.

The strength of the Fire Bee Queen was second only to the Green Demon Bee, almost on par with it.

Reflecting on the taming process, he realized that the Fire Bee Queen’s endurance seemed poor. The Contractual Talisman’s golden light was consumed very quickly, which was likely when its resistance was at its most intense.

Latter on, it gradually grew weaker.

The experience gained from subduing it could perhaps be applied to that golden-patterned male bee.
