$1200. Tusi King's Tomb (136) Golden Honey Wine

An Xuefeng has been stubborn since he was a child. If he is interested in something, he must have studied it thoroughly, otherwise he will think about it day and night. Ever since he saw Yi Ling, he started to think about Yi Ling. But it is difficult for humans to understand the brain circuits of monsters, gods, and ghosts. Yi Zero also puzzled An Xuefeng. For example, the children he mentioned are not human nicknames for cats and dogs, but real, closely related people. child.

Is this close connection a blood relationship? Or is it some close connection unique to mountain elves? Yi Ling didn't know he had these children before he saw them. Is it because of amnesia or because he really didn't know about these children? Just like plant seeds falling to the ground with the wind, no one knows what will grow. Is Yi Ling a male flower? Many flowers are hermaphroditic, but he planted many seeds in Yi Ling's body. Those seeds did not give birth to new life. The white tiger could smell it.

Reproductive isolation?

No, there is no blood relationship between these bugs and Yi Ling, this is what An Xuefeng intuitively told. The relationship between Yi Zero and his ‘children’ should be closer and more concrete, and have more functions——

For example, Yi Ling can control them and control their life and death with a single thought. The suspicious Yi Ling will feel at ease with the big bees and black caterpillars because he has control over their vital points. His determined mood made An Xuefeng confirm his speculation. If it wasn't blood, could it be soul? An Xuefeng thought of the close soul connection between him and Yi Ling.

They have become so close that they can talk in their heads, and can vaguely sense each other's emotions. The private side is unfolding towards each other. In the end, this soul connection will develop. Will Yi Zero really be able to control his life? He can let him do it in a single thought. An Xuefeng was not sure about death, but he could feel that his life and Yi Ling were closely connected. If Yi Ling was injured, he would share the responsibility. Wang Pengpai and the others actually have this kind of connection with Yi Ling, but they can't bear as much as him.

So in the end, will this kind of soul connection be considered a 'child' by Yi Ling? Is he considered Yi Ling's 'child'?

No, no, no, the Fox King shook his head violently. This thought was too scary. They had already slept together. An Xuefeng didn't want to be demoted to this level!

That means that either there are different types of soul connections, or Yi Zero has a special status and authority in the bug.

Yi Ling has this ability, does his brother have it?

An Xuefeng glanced out of the corner of his eye at the black fox walking beside Wei Xun. The controller inside it had completely disappeared, and there was almost no fluctuation in power. This controller, like Brother Yi Ling, has the ability to remotely control people into puppets.

An Xuefeng previously speculated that they might be of the same race or closely related, but now that he thinks about it, is it possible that the manipulator behind the Black Fox is the 'child' of Yi Ling's brother? If this were to happen, the team he led would almost become the Ling family compound.

You must be careful about this in advance. Up to now, An Xuefeng has not found a way to solve Wei Xun's problem. He is worried that his teammates are in this predicament. An Xuefeng does not believe in that big brother because of Yi Ling. He is not human. Thoughts are too difficult to fathom. In comparison, Yi Ling has more human empathy in this regard, and the soul connection also makes the fox king more reassured. It sighed, only feeling that the experience in just a few days has been more ridiculous and bizarre than in his life. Human beings If you live for a long time, you can encounter everything, but after a while, you can't help but laugh.

The Fox King laughed silently, but his joyful mood was felt by Yi Ling, who was on the opposite side of the soul connection. Yi Ling poked him curiously, and An Xuefeng poked him back. They interacted privately like this, and the mutant bee took them to the hive.

This tomb is very wide, almost as big as a small square. The tomb is more like a wide natural cave, but it is now beyond recognition. The air is filled with a fishy sweetness that is so strong that it is almost choking, like honey soaked in corpses, making people sick and dizzy. The thick and turbid honey-colored liquid flows along the beeswax. It is sticky everywhere, front, back, left, right, and top of the head. Underfoot, brown beeswax filled the entire space.

The height from their heads to the top of the cave should have been about ten meters, but the beeswax of the beehive hung down from the top of the cave, almost reaching the head of the fox king. The regular hexagonal nest entrances were densely packed, like dark holes facing them. , it makes people’s scalp numb. Some nests are empty, and in some, you can vaguely see wriggling white insects. They are as big as an adult, round and bulging, with two black spots on their heads, just like human eyes. At first glance, they really look like a corpse. There is an insect corpse, and you can vaguely see a huge nest mouth in the deepest part of the hive. That should be where the mutated queen bee is. Honey-like sticky golden viscous droplets are soaked in the nest mouth, pulling on the silk droplets. fall.

Compared with the turbid honey-colored liquid, this golden liquid is like flowing gold. It is pure and bright and makes people like it. From the looks of it, its smell should be sweet and sweet, but to the foxes, it smells very strong of rot. The smell of corpses was accompanied by a faint aroma of wine. It was difficult to describe this mixed smell. Wang Pengpai and the others were about to vomit. This was even more torture for the Fox King who had a keen sense of smell.

However, An Xuefeng paid special attention to the expressions of Miao Fangfei, Black Caterpillar and Mutated Big Bee. The three of them did not hide it. The expressions on their faces were true disgust, but at the same time there was a vague intoxication. Just like a cat smelling catnip that has touched a durian, it can't help but want to smell it while instinctively burying its feces. As they had speculated before, this kind of pollution that causes the mutation of the queen is very attractive to insects.

But their sense of smell is still normal, and they don't think this polluted thing smells good, which is different from Yi Ling. His taste is a bit peculiar, so if he is here, he shouldn't think it smells bad. What will he smell? Chocolate with liquor or honey candy?

"嘤嘘嘤..." 'Captain An, is what we are looking for in here? '

Because there is sticky beeswax and pollution everywhere here, there is nowhere to step, the foxes temporarily withdrew from this tomb, and Wang Pengpai opened the iron cabinet, and the foxes can stand in the iron cabinet without touching the beeswax on the ground. But the beehive here is too huge, and there is too much beeswax. The core of the insect corpse pollution sensed by Yi Ling is in the deepest part of the beehive, that is, behind the queen bee's nest.

It was difficult to get close to the place. When the iron cabinet rolled over the beeswax hive, the surrounding hexagonal nest opening shook. From time to time, a fat white larva would fall down and hit the iron cabinet like a person jumping off a building, like a sticky hot water bag exploding beside them. The most terrifying thing was that after the slurry leaked out, the larva's skin sac could vaguely see some living creature struggling inside, and there were marks like human hands protruding on the flexible insect skin.

These larvae that were as long as adults seemed to be wrapped in some insect corpses. The foxes were really sick to death. Wang Pengpai really wanted to close the iron cabinet door and rush to the destination directly, but the fox Wang An team could squeeze into the iron cabinet, but the giant mutant bee could not come in. Now in the hive, it was like returning to its hometown. The sticky honey that could not stop the speed of the car from slowing down dripped on it and slid down directly. The black and yellow hair was always fluffy and dry.

Thanks to the absence of mutant queen bees and other bees in the hive, the iron cabinet could move forward steadily. If the mutant giant bee wants to cause trouble in the hive, they will face another fierce battle! The strong smell of pollution has made all the foxes nervous and keep a close eye on the giant bee's movements. Wan Xiangchun's flames are almost in his mouth, but until the queen bee's nest, the mutant giant bee is still obedient!

It even buzzed at Captain An, as if talking to him. Foxes don't understand insect language, even the fox king has not learned the bee language. But it almost understands the giant bee's body language. The fox king nodded slightly, and the giant bee buzzed into the queen bee's nest. The foxes immediately became highly nervous and fearful, wondering if it was going to turn against it, whether it wanted to become a queen bee itself, after all, many creatures in the animal kingdom have the ability to change sex.

However, after a while, the giant bee flew out. It looked a little embarrassed, with messy fur and a very sweet and greasy fragrance (stink) on its body. All of this came from what it held in its black forelimbs-it pulled out the queen cell deep in the queen bee's nest! In this queen cell, a ball-sized queen egg is hatching. With the thin eggshell, you can already see the queen larva stretching inside, ready to break out at any time.

The old queen died, and the new queen began to hatch immediately. If they rested for a night and came back, they might have to face the new mutant queen! Fortunately, nothing has happened yet.

"Buzz--"

After the mutant bees took the queen cell and queen eggs from the hive, the entire hive began to collapse, and piles of beeswax collapsed, hitting the iron cabinet with a bang. Fortunately, the beeswax was no longer in that sticky state, and it was shriveled like a dead wax skin. A quarter of an hour later, this tomb changed again. There were still many hexagonal nest openings on the wall, but they had turned into dry black brown. The core part in the middle of the hive was completely changed. The beeswax squeezed and shrunk, and finally a honey-gold head appeared where the queen nest opening was originally.

It looks deformed and twisted, with eyes, ears, mouth and nose all in hexagonal shapes, just like some alien monster. But the polluted smell is similar to the wax brain, which is the polluted core of the insect corpse. The insect corpse's head has no top of the head, and it can be seen directly that there is no brain in its skull. Maybe the wax corpse's brain is suitable to be placed here? The polluted cores of all corpses will piece together a complete corpse?

But now there is another thing in the brainless insect corpse's head.

In the empty insect corpse's head, there is a small and exquisite golden pot. It has a curved handle and a pointed spout. The pot is carved with intricate and exquisite patterns, which is incompatible with the burial objects in the Tusi King's Tomb that An Xuefeng and others have seen.

This is a Western-style golden pot. The most bizarre thing is that there is a shallow layer of honey-gold liquid in the pot! The dazzling light spots float in the liquid, like melted gold liquid. This time it is no longer a stinky fragrance or a stinky wine. All the foxes and insects present smelled a sweet and intoxicating wine aroma.

This is golden honey wine.

Everyone ‘understood’ what this thing was at that moment. It was as if the sweet aroma of wine contained information about it.

This was extremely precious golden honey wine. As long as you drink it, you can go to the mysterious country that countless adventurers and mercenaries have been pursuing all their lives -

The Kingdom of Gold!

The Kingdom of Gold?

Returning to the other side of the salt lake, Yi Ling, who was commanding the army of wax corpses to clean up the collapsed rubble, sniffed his nose thoughtfully.
