Chapter 216: First Battle Victory
They could only delay for a while by defending without attacking, and could not effectively kill the golden-armored bees in the formation. Sooner or later, the Azure Flame Cloud Smoke Formation would be broken through by the golden-armored bees.
Looking at the second-level queen bee in the formation, Song Qingming turned to Huang Shengyue and said:
"Huang Daoyou, we can't hold on for long. Now that even the second-level queen bee has come out, there should not be many golden-armored bees left in the valley. Hurry up and ask if they succeeded?"
As soon as Song Qingming finished speaking, a group of yellow smoke suddenly appeared at the entrance of the valley in the distance. After seeing this signal, Huang Shengyue, who was about to send a voice transmission, immediately stopped his action. After seeing it, Song Qingming and Hu Longhai laughed without any agreement.
This was the signal that several people had agreed with Huang Shengxin before. After seeing the yellow smoke, it meant that he had succeeded, and Song Qingming and others could immediately choose to retreat at any time.
Just when Song Qingming and his two companions were fighting against the golden-armored bee swarm, Huang Shengxin, who had been lurking outside the valley for a long time, hesitated for a moment, and decisively chose to attack immediately, breaking into the valley alone.
After the queen bee left, there were only a few dozen golden-armored bees patrolling near the nest. Huang Shengxin did not choose to entangle with them too much, and ran directly to the second-level spiritual medicines.
His goal was very clear, he came for these spiritual medicines, which was also the strategy they had decided before they started.
Song Qingming and his two companions were responsible for attracting and weakening the golden-armored bee swarm, while Huang Shengxin took the opportunity to force his way into the valley and pick the spiritual objects they wanted.
After seeing Huang Shengxin send out a signal of success, Song Qingming, Huang Shengyue, and Hu Longhai looked at each other and directly withdrew their magic power.
The Qingyan Yunyan Formation had just stopped running, and the white smoke that was thickly covering the golden-armored bee swarm in the formation also quickly disappeared.
When the fog just dissipated, Hu Longhai threw a red talisman in his hand in one direction.
This red talisman was a second-level low-grade explosion talisman. As soon as the talisman flew into the air, the surrounding golden-armored bees didn't know what it was and surrounded it directly.
After hearing a deafening sound, the second-level explosion talisman exploded directly in the air, and then a huge ball of flames began to pounce on the surroundings.
"Now, let's go!"
Hu Longhai saw that the explosion talisman had exploded a gap in the golden-armored bee swarm, and he rushed out from that position first.
Seeing this, Huang Shengyue and Song Qingming were also unwilling to lag behind, and followed behind Hu Longhai. They didn't want to be left alone here.
As soon as the three escaped from the gap, the golden-armored bee queen immediately noticed this side and chased after them with all the golden-armored bees.
"Let's split up first, so it's easier to get away."
After the three flew a distance, Hu Longhai saw that the golden armored queen bee chasing behind them was flying at the same speed as theirs. He turned around and shouted to Song Qingming and the other two on the side, and took the lead in changing his direction.
Seeing this, Song Qingming didn't think much about it and also changed his direction, leaving Huang Shengyue alone to move forward in the original direction.
Seeing that the few people suddenly separated, the golden armored queen bee circled around and chased Hu Longhai with most of the bee swarm.
After Song Qingming changed direction, he found that the golden armored queen bee behind him did not chase him, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This time his luck was good. Without the queen bee, he didn't take the two or three hundred golden armored bees behind him seriously. If he didn't want to waste mana and spiritual objects, he would have wanted to turn around and kill these annoying things on the spot.
After taking the golden armored bee swarm and circling around nearby, Song Qingming, who consumed several low-level spiritual talismans, finally got rid of them completely.
Half an hour later, Song Qingming returned to a forest more than ten miles away from the golden bee colony. Not far ahead was the meeting point they had previously agreed on.
"Hey! Is Fellow Daoist Hu not back yet?"
After Song Qingming arrived, he took a closer look around and found that there were only two people from the Huang family here, so he asked directly.
Huang Shengyue shook her head and replied softly: "The queen bee seemed to go for him in the end. I don't know if Fellow Daoist Hu has escaped now."
"Don't worry too much. With his ability, even if he is entangled by the queen bee, he will spend more effort. It shouldn't be a big problem to get out. Be patient and wait."
Huang Shengxin was responsible for sneaking into the beehive to pick spiritual medicine this time, which was not an easy task. However, he was a little luckier this time. The queen bee was successfully lured out by Song Qingming and others. Otherwise, even if he could succeed, he would not be able to act so relaxed now.
The three waited for another half an hour in the original place, and Hu Longhai finally arrived here smoothly.
At this moment, his face was already bruised and swollen by the golden-armored bees. Seeing Hu Longhai turned into such an ugly face, Song Qingming and others almost laughed. When they first saw him, they almost didn't recognize him at first.
Hu Longhai was unlucky enough. Song Qingming estimated that the reason why the queen bee chased him was that the explosive talisman he used at the end was too powerful, which attracted most of the hatred of the golden-armored queen bee.
Being chased by the queen bee and so many golden-armored bees, he was able to escape, which was considered a good achievement. If Song Qingming had encountered the golden-armored queen bee, he might not be able to stand here so soon.
After Hu Longhai took a few detoxification pills handed over by Huang Shengyue, the swelling on his face soon improved a lot.
While everyone was resting, Huang Shengxin also took out the spiritual objects he got in the Xie Valley this time.
In total, he got three second-level spiritual medicines, two second-level top-grade, and one second-level low-grade, all of which are popular types on the market. These three spiritual medicines together should be able to exchange for about 2,000 spiritual stones.
Although it is not a lot, each person can only get a few hundred spiritual stones, but it is still a victory in the first battle, a good start, and the secret realm has just been opened for a short time, and it can be harvested. This is already a good sign for everyone.
These spiritual herbs were basically what Huang Shengxin wanted. Song Qingming and Hu Longhai didn't want to fight for them. They each got a few hundred spiritual stones. After the spiritual objects were divided, everyone felt much better.
Especially Hu Longhai, who had been poor in the past few years in order to build a family. After seeing the spiritual objects in the secret realm, he couldn't wait to set out again to look for spiritual objects.
As the leader among the few people, Huang Shengxin was relatively calm. Although he also wanted more spiritual objects, he was still very clear about the crisis in the secret realm. Compared with the various monsters in it, the same kind of cultivators hiding in the dark were their greater danger.
"Last time I came in, I found a third-level spiritual medicine not far from here. Let's go there tomorrow to try our luck! It's easier to encounter monsters when walking at night. Let's rest here for a night and set off tomorrow."
"Let's listen to Fellow Daoist Huang. It's the first time for us to come here. We are not familiar with this place. It's always better to be careful."
Hearing Huang Shengxin's words, Song Qingming also quickly echoed. In fact, he was the one who least wanted to take risks here. If it weren't for his own low strength, Song Qingming wanted to find a remote corner to hide after entering the secret realm.
