Chapter 48 The Forge
The Dark Bee Clan King tossed Lu Xing a world ring, a hint of heartache flashing across his face, before saying, "The treasure you wanted is inside."
Lu Xing took it and first checked whether the World Ring had been tampered with. After making sure there were no problems, he used the power of the world to penetrate inside and examine the treasure.
"He probably only gave me a small portion of the approximately 80 billion Chaos Units, but that's enough," Lu Xing thought to himself.
Half of the treasures in a Queen Bee Temple would definitely be more than 80 billion Chaos Units, but this was still in line with his expectations.
"Now you should go in." The divine power of the Dark Bee Clan's King began to surge, as if he would set off immediately if Lu Xing did not go in.
"Of course," Lu Xing smiled, then got up and walked towards the entrance of the Queen Bee Space.
"I don't need to get checked, right?"
Lu Xing ignored the intelligent system and instead looked at the Dark Bee Clan King beside him.
"Naturally," the Dark Bee Clan King said calmly.
With one step, Lu Xing arrived at a narrow road, at the end of which stood a huge bronze gate.
"Even if they give me treasures for free, they'll let me in. The probability of finding ancestral-level royal jelly inside is even higher," Lu Xing guessed to himself.
"But obtaining it must come with extremely harsh conditions. Since that Dark Bee Clan member dared to let us in, he must have been absolutely certain that the royal jelly wouldn't fall into our hands."
"He probably entered through a hidden passage."
A good den cannot be without hidden passages; otherwise, it would be like trapping a dog in a trap when a crisis occurs.
The Dark Bee Clan's temple also exists, but only members of the Dark Bee Clan can enter that passage; forcibly entering the passage will completely seal it off.
"Whoosh!"
The core command token flew out of his body and perfectly embedded itself in the gap of the bronze gate.
"Boom!"
The bronze gate opened.
Passing through the bronze gate, one is greeted by a huge void, with nine passages leading to the core platform.
The reason why nine bee messengers are required is that the bronze gate must be opened simultaneously; otherwise, it must be forcibly destroyed to enter.
"The queen bee's corpse...and a large amount of dark bee egg ash!" Lu Xing stared quietly at the decaying corpse on the platform.
One who becomes immortal will transform into an energy life form, unable to reproduce. Therefore, the queen bees of the Dark Bee Clan are all at the peak of the Realm Lord level, and their corpses will naturally decay over time.
"Since it has already transformed into a queen bee, the royal jelly must have been used, right?" Lu Xing wondered. Although the corpse was mostly decayed, it was not difficult to discern the characteristics of a queen bee.
Furthermore, the large amount of dead egg ash below also confirms that ordinary Dark Bee people are infertile.
"Something's wrong... how come the corpse is only half decomposed!"
Thinking this, Lu Xing began to slowly back away; the bronze gate was not yet closed.
At the same time, a wisp of consciousness connects to the virtual universe.
"King Luo Sheng, something's not right here. It's best not to go any deeper," Lu Xing warned them. After all, they were all human, and whether they listened or not was their business.
"Damn it!" The purple beast's figure landed swiftly on the platform, smashing the remaining corpses into powder with a single claw. "We were tricked by that Dark Bee Clan; there's nothing here except this pile of corpses!"
"wrong!"
"Where is that Dark Bee Clan King?"
King Bonelong expressed his doubts, and at this moment the others also realized that only nine people had entered, and the Dark Bee Clan King was missing.
"He probably wouldn't dare, knowing that we'd deal with him first once we entered the Queen Bee's space," King Hanshan said calmly.
In an instant!
A subtle ripple emanated from the bottom and was sensed by everyone present in just a moment.
"I knew those Dark Bees were up to no good; this thing is still functioning!"
"Du'e, you're inside."
With a thought, Lu Xing saw a figure appear before him, while he himself quickly flew away.
Marquis Du'e was the title bestowed upon the marquis of the Chong'e clan.
The moment he returned to the bronze gate, he slammed the core token on the gate, completing this series of actions in an instant.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...
The nine bronze gates closed simultaneously, and at this point, Lu Xing couldn't care less about anything else.
Hahahaha!
A maniacal laugh echoed through the Queen Bee's space. Faint spatial runes appeared in a corner of the wall, followed by a flash of light, and the Dark Bee Clan's King appeared.
"Welcome to... the Melting Space!" the Dark Bee King laughed loudly, his greedy eyes sweeping over the group.
"That cunning fellow, he managed to slip away."
"Are these the soul slaves left behind?"
"That's enough!"
"Buzz~"
As he spoke, the energy fluctuations below grew stronger, a faint red light appeared, and then a raging fire began to burn.
"die."
King Chongjun wielded a massive stone hammer and smashed it down on him, countless secret patterns faintly emerging within it, adding a sense of weight to the entire space.
"Heh." The Dark Bee Clan King revealed a hint of disdain and said indifferently, "Let's talk about it when you can survive the smelting."
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared, and the figure of the Dark Bee Clan's King disappeared again. King Chongjun's attack missed and struck the wall.
Lu Xing also learned about the situation inside through soul communication.
"Luckily I got away quickly." Lu Xing exhaled a breath of stale air.
The queen bee of the Dark Bee Clan is only a Realm Lord, but the entire Dark Bee Clan has a Universe Venerable. The treasures presented to the queen bee cannot be just low-level items.
What if I can't absorb it?
Then let's smelt it!
Hidden at the bottom of the Queen Bee Space is a massive furnace, whose power is enough to annihilate even a high-level King-level divine body. If one stays there for too long, even a peak-level King-level divine body will suffer severe damage.
After all, in the Dark Bee Queen's diet, the immortal divine body ranks first, and the furnace will annihilate it until it is enough for the queen to devour.
However, activating such a super furnace and consuming a god-like body at the peak of the King-level realm would undoubtedly require an astronomical amount of energy, something Lu Xing never expected to be possible.
"Luckily, I left first," Lu Xing sighed.
Once the Dark Bee Clan King enters through the hidden passage, the bronze gate will automatically close upon sensing the simultaneous presence of ten command tokens.
However, by taking the initiative to seize the token, he gained control and could re-enter the area.
"The Marquis of Du'e is dead."
Lu Xing sensed the soul connection being severed, and the last message he received was that endless flames were spreading from below.
However, Marquis Du'e was only at the initial level of a marquis, and his divine body was not at its peak, so it was normal that he couldn't last long.
"So what if he's dead?" Lu Xing smiled slightly; he now had a better option.
A wisp of consciousness connected to the virtual universe, and a flood of messages popped up all at once.
