Chapter 483 Tit for Tat

Seven days later.

Zhuyue summoned a rat monster from the spirit beast bag on her waist.

This beast is more than a foot long and drags a long tail.

A pair of rat eyes are very smart, looking around, obviously this rat is very intelligent.

"This is the Swift Shadow Rat, a spiritual beast I found temporarily. It has a late second-level cultivation. Although it is a little weaker in strength, it is superior in intelligence and speed. It is perfect to use it to explore the hive." Zhu Yue Said to Song Wen.

During these seven days, Song Wen refined two more furnaces of demon-inducing incense, both of which were taken deep into the hive by the spider puppet.

A large number of bloodthirsty bees were attracted by the demon-inducing incense, and fierce battles broke out in the narrow cave, resulting in the death of countless bloodthirsty bees.

The number of bloodthirsty bees dropped sharply, so Zhuyue decided to let the spiritual beasts into the hive to explore the location of the queen bee.

The Swift Shadow Rat got into the hole and soon disappeared.

Song Wen and Zhuyue used their spiritual senses to observe the movements of the Swift Shadow Rat.

Perhaps the bloodthirsty bees near the surface have been cleaned up enough. The Swift Shadow Rat moved forward smoothly in the cave and only encountered a few sporadic Bloodthirsty Bees, all of which were easily killed by the Swift Shadow Rat.

The Swift Shadow Rat quickly reached the depths of the underground, beyond the range of Song Wen and Zhuyue's perception.

"Fellow Taoist Zhuyue, I have been refining elixirs for days, which is quite exhausting. I will go to the temporary cave to adjust my breathing." Song Wendao.

Zhuyue nodded, "Fellow Taoist, it's up to you, I'll just watch from here."

Song Wen flew up and floated to the temporary cave not far away.

When he entered the temporary cave, two shadow Gu quietly landed on the ground.

They burrowed into the thick leaves on the ground and quickly crawled toward a hive entrance.

After entering the hive, Shadow Gu split up and headed deep underground from different directions.

A few hours later.

Song Wen got in touch with one of the shadow Gus, and it appeared at the foot of a mountain more than forty miles away.

Shadow Gu came with news: Deep underground about two hundred miles to the east, there was a huge underground cave containing a large number of second-order bloodthirsty bees, which was suspected to be the nest of the queen bee.

There are too many bloodthirsty bees in this cave and they are so powerful that Shadow Gu does not dare to enter.

Song Wen summoned the Shadow Gu back and continued to wait in the temporary cave, but the other Shadow Gu never returned.

Until three days later.

Zhuyue suddenly came outside the cave, "It's extremely dark, the Swift Shadow Rat is back, and it found a place suspected to be the queen bee's nest."

"Really? That's great." Song Wen walked out of the cave with a look of surprise on his face.

"Let's go quickly. The Swift Shadow Rat will take us to the location of the queen bee's nest." Zhuyue said.

The Swift Shadow Rat shuttled between the dense forests, heading eastward, while Song Wen and Zhu Yue followed at low altitude.

After a while, the three of them came to a valley.

The Swift Shadow Mouse stopped in a depression and kept jumping around.

Zhuyue said, "The queen bee's nest should be deep underground here."

Song Wen silently estimated in his mind that this place is about 230 miles away from the temporary cave.

The place pointed by Swift Shadow Rat and Shadow Gu should be the same location. The information between the two is the same, and the queen's nest is likely to be deep underground here.

"Fellow Taoist, what are you going to do? If you dig the hole directly downward, it will definitely disturb the queen bee and make her move her nest. The end result will be the same as Yuan Qing's previous experience. The bamboo basket will draw water in vain."

"I have a plan to deal with this matter, but I'm not very sure." Zhuyue said with a slight frown.

Song Wendao said, "I don't know what good advice my friend has?"

Zhuyue said, "The queen bee is huge and cannot pass through ordinary caves. In the queen bee nest dug by Yuan Qing, there is a cave that is particularly large, more than two feet high, which should be for the queen bee to pass through. As long as this large cave is blocked, the queen will naturally be trapped in the nest.

However, once you and I start digging a hole, the queen bee will definitely be frightened and will naturally not sit still and wait for death. She will definitely let the bloodthirsty bees dig a new exit. You and I must dare to dig a vertical hole into the queen's nest before the queen digs a new passage. "

Song Wendao asked, "How can fellow Taoists block those large caves?"

Zhuyue raised her hand and turned it over, and a ball as big as an egg appeared in her hand.

The ball is white as snow and exudes biting coldness.

"This is an ice bead made from a cold spring in the snowy area. As long as it is broken, a large amount of cold air will spew out and quickly condense into solid ice. I plan to let the Swift Shadow Rat take the ice bead deep underground and bring it to the ground. The large passage of the queen's nest is blocked."

Song Wen thought for a moment and expressed his doubts.

"Fellow Taoist, you and I don't know the situation of the underground queen bee nest. If there is more than one large passage, I'm afraid we will fall short."

Zhuyue said, "I am also worried about this, so I said that I am not too sure. But there is no better way at the moment, so I can only give it a try."

Song Wen was about to speak when his heart suddenly moved and he sensed someone approaching quickly.

He said calmly, "Right now, I can only give it a try according to Taoist friend Zhuyue's idea."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a figure flying close to the treetops.

"Junior Sister Zhuyue, let me help you."

The person who came was none other than Yuan Qing.

"Yuan Qing, it's you again. It seems that you have been hiding in the dark, peeking at me and Ji Yin." Zhuyue said in a bad tone.

"I just came here and happened to overhear the conversation between you and Ji Yin." Yuan Qing said.

However, Song Wen and Zhuyue didn't believe his words at all.

When Zhu Yue was about to make a move, Yuan Qing just arrived. How could there be such a coincidence?

The only possibility is that Yuan Qing had been here since early in the morning. After he found Song Wen and Zhu Yue coming, he hid himself.

"Yuan Qing, it seems that you really have a way to determine the location of the queen bee. I wonder what kind of magic it is. Can you let me see it?"

"It's just a secret technique to detect high-level monsters. It's not worth mentioning." Yuan Qing said nonsense.

"There is actually a secret method that can detect high-level monsters? It's really unheard of."

Zhu Yue obviously didn't believe it, and her tone was full of doubt.

Yuan Qing said, "Junior sister Zhu Yue, don't worry about the secret technique. Now try to kill the third-level queen bee. That's the real thing."

"Yuan Qing, killing the queen bee is the business of me, the head of Yangdao Pavilion, and you don't need to worry about it." Zhu Yue coldly rejected Yuan Qing's kindness.

"Junior sister Zhu Yue, I'm helping you out of kindness, why do you have to turn me away?" Yuan Qing said.

Zhu Yue said, "If you don't tell me the purpose of your coming here, I won't let you touch the queen bee."

"Junior sister, aren't you afraid that the queen bee will escape, causing the bloodthirsty bees to wreak havoc, and then cause the death of a large number of two-legged sheep, causing the displeasure of the demon master?" Yuan Qing's voice became a little cold.

"Whether you will be punished by the master, then my business has nothing to do with you."

Zhu Yue was determined to find out the reason why Yuan Qing came here, otherwise she would never let Yuan Qing take action.
