"What's going on? Could there be a mutiny?!"
Seeing the bees fighting amongst themselves, Suming was shocked. It had been a good month since he last saw them, and now he wondered if there was some conflict between the honeybees and the wasps, or if something had happened to the honeybees themselves that started infighting.
Looking closely, most of the wasps weren't participating in the battle. They were grouped together, guarding the largest hive; it didn't look like a mutiny. They were probably protecting the Queen Bee's safety.
Moreover, honeybees are naturally pacifistic, and their stingers can only be used once. After stinging, they would die, so honeybees normally won't engage in battle lightly, let alone attack their trenchmates, the wasps, without any good reason.
Furthermore, with the Queen Bee, whose intelligence far exceeded that of a regular honeybee, presiding over the swarm, such circumstances should have never occurred. The swarm should only thrive and grow.
With these thoughts in mind, Suming, filled with doubt, projected his spiritual power into the warring bee factions.
As soon as his spiritual power entered the swarm, the honeybees he touched were immediately distinguished. They split into two clearly divided camps.
A small portion of honeybees gave off a familiar feeling, like poverty-stricken peasants seeing their Red Army kin; while the vast majority of honeybees seemed perplexed by the spiritual power, showing no response at all, as if it was their first encounter with spiritual power.
Suming then realized it wasn't a mutiny within his swarm, rather, his own bees were battling unfamiliar ones from the mountains.
In that case, of course, he had to help his own.
Without hesitation, and no time to ask any questions, Suming channeled half of his spiritual power into his faction of bees, organizing the individually fighting swarm into a systematic battle formation, just like the last time. With larger, stronger bees leading the groups and Suming in overall command, they fought strategically.
At the same time, he used the old method, throwing the remainder of his spiritual power over the enemy swarm.
The bees in the forest were so densely packed that when the spiritual power hit, it controlled a large number of the enemy honeybees, like a net descending upon them.
Lunging forward at high speed, the Haidong Qing, like a sharp battle sword, easily cleaved a clear path through the dense swarm, splitting the bees in half!
The Haidong Qing soared back into the sky, then once more performed a dive, charging repeatedly through the swarm at high speed, each time easily breaching the bee's defense and slicing the dense swarm into pieces, throwing them into total disarray!
If the Haidong Qing was an invincible blade, then the two Diamond Parrots were like twin hammers!
The flying capability of the Diamond Parrots was subpar, nowhere near that of the Haidong Qing. If they tried to replicate the Haidong Qing's stylish, high-speed dive, the only result would be a nosedive into the ground, leaving them dazed and confused!
But they had their own methods!
The Parrot sisters, one on the left and one on the right, charged into the wings of the swarm like two hefty penguins, waddling with plump figures. With a powerful flap of their wings, they could create a gust that blew away large clusters of bees.
Though their flight was weak, they were not incapable of flying. Within the swarm, the two parrots glided more than they flew, hopping and skipping like two large tanks bulldozing through a crowd of infantry, scattering the surrounding bees in all directions with every move.
"Squash you, squash you!" They squawked as they barged through.
Birds are the natural nemesis of bees. They have thick, dense feathers that even the stingers of bees or hornets can't penetrate. Both the Haidong Qing and the Diamond Parrots were exceptional in this regard. In their presence, it didn't matter how numerous the Su Army Bees were; they could only passively receive blows.
Moreover, Suming was causing havoc in the rear with his spiritual power! This time he had learned to be smarter. Instead of using his spiritual power to directly control the rebellion of the bees, he divided his power into several streams, causing chaos within the swarm, harassing here and stirring up trouble there. Sometimes, he even deliberately gathered the bees in the path of the three birds' attack, scattering a large group with a swoop.
After the three birds dispersed the bees, they didn't wait for the opponent to regroup. A surge of spiritual power would shake violently, knocking the recently recovered bees into disarray.
It didn't take long for the bees, with their limited intelligence, to lose all ability to mount an effective offensive, becoming completely disorganized.
The terrifying aspect of a bee swarm lies in its numbers. Thousands of bees attacking at once would even make wolves and tigers flee. But now, with the desperate defenses of the three giant birds and Suming's interference, the attacking battalion of bees heading for Suming had been totally routed!
