Chapter 87: Bee Wars Intensified!
She soared out of the small hive, coming to a halt in midair. Despite her small wings, she emitted the most powerful sound in the world—the arrival of the Hive Queen herself was the highest command.
Inside another hive, a large spherical object filled with yellow liquid.
At regular intervals, an egg would be produced, carried by worker bees to another hive for incubation.
The Hive Queen of the black giant bees had evolved, leading the entire hive and community to further evolution. She now possessed a humanoid form, personally overseeing egg production within the hive.
She was the pinnacle of combat prowess, never straying far from guarding the hive.
Hive Queen Berry of the yellow giant bees had made an unprecedented choice to unite with the people of the Third World.
To them, they were the highest beings, looking down upon all monsters, including the people of the Third World, an act that was akin to lowering their own pride.
This was absolutely unacceptable; how could the Hive Queen deign to ally with those mere insects?
Despite this, they had to acknowledge the military strength of the Third World, never allowing the yellow giant bee tribe to gain the dark fruits.
Once the yellow giant bee tribe successfully evolved to the same level as her, their status would revert to what it was before.
The yellow giant bee tribe could only be a vassal to their black giant bee tribe.
With her at the center, ripples formed one after another in the air, driving the execution of the entire hive.
The once peaceful hive now hummed internally, strengthened as a whole, with a much faster production rate than before, sending batch after batch to the battlefield.
Among them, one could see a strong individual in every batch, not quite a queen bee but certainly elite level. As for the yellow giant bee tribe, apart from the exceptionally rare queen bee, all were mere worker bees.
Inside the yellow giant bee tribe.
As Berry strengthened the explosive sphere, she also received reports from the frontline. Suddenly, a sense of unease rose—a vague suppression from above.
It was Bester, the hive bee of the black giant bee tribe, making a move. It knew that once it allied with the people of the Third World, the situation would inevitably turn chaotic.
After all these years, how could it allow them to overturn its dominance, even for once?
Yet, it also yearned to evolve, not just for the tribe but for its own freedom.
"One queen bee should stay here; all other queens, move to the frontline."
"Now, immediately!"
Time was of the essence; if the black giant bees broke the peace first, the nutrient supply that the tree monsters could receive would increase, and their growth would accelerate even faster.
Though their preparations were not yet complete, due to continuous reinforcement, more forces than in previous years headed to the battlefield, accelerating maturity this time.
Time was running out; the dark fruits this time might ripen much faster than they had imagined.
Those guys surely couldn't stay hidden for long.
Above a tall peak, on its sheer cliff.
A large bird hovering above spread its enormous wings, the wind howling around the cliff.
The bird leaped into the wind, soaring towards the central area.
Deep within an unseen canyon, a hundred-meter-long serpent coiled, a single horn upon its head.
Small but already displaying its form, its eyes brimming with human-like intelligence, no other creatures in the canyon or its surroundings—this was a forbidden zone of life.
With the arrival of a new faction, the Black Forest was once again poised for a major upheaval.
The war in the central region never ceased. The black giant bee tribe, players from the Third World and the yellow giant bee tribe, seemed to be under a looming suppression.
However fiercely they battled, no one dared to disturb the tree monsters even slightly.
Everyone understood implicitly that these creatures were the most crucial entities in this place; any interference with them would draw a collective attack.
On the other hand, the current tree monsters were beyond anyone's control.
As they fought, cracks continually emerged from the ground, with tree roots extending to retrieve bodies strewn across the battlefield, yet not interfering with the combatants in the slightest.
By now, the tree monsters had grown into colossal beings. Only by tilting their heads back could one see their crowns, towering majestically against the sky.
They cast a shadow so dense that underneath, the roots grew more intricate, leaves dense, and their dark fruits gradually taking form.
They faintly glowed, their initially slow growth suddenly accelerating, greedily absorbing the surrounding corpses.
The tree roots twisted and changed, becoming more volatile. The entire tree was at its most active.
Patterns on the trunk were complex, vaguely resembling smiling human faces, starkly different from the formerly divine trees.
Now, these tree monsters could truly be called monsters—sinister, terrifying, exuding immense pressure.
Only their highest fruit still radiated a divine light.
The dark fruits were nearing maturity.
Athena tirelessly crafted explosive spheres, seemingly unaware of fatigue. Sweat dripped from her forehead, but she remained focused, controlling every detail with utmost concentration.
Finally, at the eleventh hour, she successfully broke through!
The radiance emitted from the explosive sphere indicated it was of ordinary quality.
After countless attempts, she had finally mastered it; now, she was truly an alchemist.
Yet her head suddenly throbbed unbearably, as if it might explode at any moment. Intense use of mental energy caused her nose to bleed.
She quickly retrieved a healing potion from her backpack, downing it in one gulp. Its icy touch slid down her throat, gradually alleviating her condition.
Though materials remained, she couldn't continue. The quantity of explosive spheres was already sufficient.
Exiting the hive filled with the smell of gunpowder, she took a rare breath of fresh air outside, feeling alive.
