Volume 4, Demon Crow Demon Palace_Chapter 232, Hunt for the Queen Bee
In fact, Old Man Tao's thoughts coincided with mine, and I also felt that in such a short period of time, it was not right to attack us many times in an organized manner. Especially in today's attack, the moment the swarm dispersed to avoid the water column, I could see an invisible hand manipulating behind their backs. Before, I always thought that it might be that the ancient queen bee had stronger remote control, and after all, our current position was closer to the demon mountain opposite, so these bees were attacking us according to the queen's command. But when the swarm made a sophisticated attack tactic, it dawned on me that the queen bee wasn't here, and she didn't see all this. Even if it were here, it would not be possible to command so delicately with its subtle deeds.
"I think someone may have controlled the queen bee, and the queen bee should be on the ship."
"Hmm...... It's possible. Old Man Tao didn't deny my idea and continued, "How did you come up with that? ”
I smiled and said, "This is because I saw the interaction between the big black eagle and Yue Cheng before, and I was contacted. We interact with animals through talismans, see what animals can see, and manipulate animal movements. Then the demon clan can definitely do it, so many powerful characters on the demon mountain probably have already discovered that we are not good, and sending a bee swarm is just a harassment of us. The queen bee must be on the boat, and a certain powerful demon controls the queen bee on the demon mountain, and when he sees what the queen bee sees, controlling the queen bee is equivalent to controlling the entire bee colony, causing us trouble. ”
Of course, it wasn't just the big black eagle and Yue Cheng who inspired me, but also the hands and feet that the old sheep demon did on me at that time, and the bug that put it also made me think about this.
"So, as long as we can find the queen bee, it will be equivalent to resolving this crisis. But where is the queen bee? This thing is not easy to find, after all, it is not a big monster, three freighters are so big, it can hide anywhere. ”
"The bee queen is different from the ordinary bee queen, in the final analysis, it is still a bloodthirsty earth beast, and because it often has to be produced, it must be with food......" Old man Tao mentioned this, I immediately reacted and said: "Got it, former Li Yulang, go, follow me!" ”
The two of us took Nagisa into the freighter's food warehouse, which was enough for hundreds of us to eat for two or three months, which shows how big this food warehouse is, but the ice storage is not large. After all, we are at sea, and it is not a problem for these individuals to catch a fish. Therefore, there is less meat stored and more vegetables and fruits.
According to Old Man Tao's reminder, the beetle queen likes to eat meat, so he should wander around the freezer. At this moment, Nagisa suddenly flew over and whispered in my ear, "Do you hear a sound in the freezer?" ”
As soon as it said this, I immediately turned my head and leaned on the freezer to listen, the freezer is not big, but it is not small, the door is about a person high, and there is no lock on it. There was a "chirping" sound from inside.
I waved at the front of the company, and he immediately understood, tiptoeing over and standing on the other side of the door. I was just about to open the door, but I didn't expect Nagisa to suddenly whisper in my ear, "Let me in." ”
"Huh?" I was taken aback and looked at it strangely.
"The queen bee is very fast, flying twice as fast as a normal beetle, and if you open the door and the queen bee inside can't catch it, it will be a waste of this great opportunity. Let me in, I can subdue this guy, the queen bee is not as strong as the bee bee. "It's rare to see that Nagisa You wants to show off his skills, and I am also interested, nodding and whispering: "Three, two, one!" ”
I immediately opened a small gap, and Nagisa was very fast, and at once I got into the ice storage through the gap, and I saw it enter and immediately closed the door of the ice storage. After a while, I heard a noise from inside, because of the relationship between the ice storage door, the sound was very dull, and the former Li Yulang said with a smile: "Ba Xiaoshan, let's make a bet." ”
"Hehe, what are you betting on?"
"Bet on whether Nagisa You can subdue the Queen Bee, if I lose, I will call you Brother Shan in the future, and if you lose, you are not allowed to call me Little Japan at every turn in the future. What do you think? He asked, looking like he wanted to turn over!
"Haha, okay, I'll bet on Nagisa You to win." I laughed and said.
"Hehe, then I'll bet it can't, I would have thought so anyway. After all, it is the queen bee of the bee, and Nagisa You is usually coaxing, and he may not be able to win against it, but in fact, Nagisa You's ability is very weak. ”
"Okay, you little Japanese can even know these four words. Not bad, not bad......"
"You! You say I'm Little Japan again. He exclaimed in displeasure.
"Hehe, anyway, if Nagisa loses, won't I stop screaming?" I lit a cigarette and heard the noise inside one after another, and it was quite hard. After about twenty minutes, the sound gradually became quieter, and after a while, there was no movement at all, and I asked the former Li Yulang to prepare, in case Nagisa Yu lost, then it would be the queen bee who jumped out of it, but I couldn't let it run. When I opened the door of the freezer, I saw a black shadow "whoosh" and jumped out, and I was shocked with the former Li Yulang, but when we were about to do it, we saw this black shadow stop on the head of the former Li Yulang, panting.
"Oh, Nagisa! Won? The black shadow was Nagisa You, but now he looked a little embarrassed, his face had injuries on his wings, and he was out of breath, but his face was full of pride, and he said triumphantly after hearing my question: "Nonsense, can I lose to a earthbreaker beast in front of the former vanguard demon of the Star Moon Demon Palace?" The queen bee was defeated by me, and it's inside! ”
I turned my head to look into the freezer, and saw a beetle the size of my palm, with a jade-white body and a fat brain, lying on his stomach. I reached out and fiddled with it, but it didn't respond, and if it hadn't moved slightly, I would have thought it was dead. I didn't struggle much to catch the queen bee, I looked at the queen bee who was called a fat woman in my hand and then looked at Nagisa You, who was beaming, and laughed: "You...... Ha ha...... You...... Just fight with such a fat woman, and you can still fight for twenty minutes, haha......"
Nagisa was not happy now, pouting and not speaking. And even more bitter than him is the former Li Yulang, I thought that the queen bee had some ability, but I didn't expect it to be such a fat guy with extremely low combat effectiveness. I smiled and walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I will pay attention to these three words in the future, but if you lose the bet, you have to call me Brother Shan." In addition, I have to say one thing. The emperor of your country is also the king of a country, but it doesn't mean that he can win against Miyamoto Musashi, the Japanese sword master, right? ”
Since then, the former Li Yulang has really kept calling me Brother Shan, and he hasn't changed his mouth for many years.
I took the weak queen bee to find the old man Tao, he took the queen bee over and looked at it, took a tweezer and tossed around a few times as if he saw something, and then pulled out something from the carapace behind the queen, and then said, "This is the thing." ”
We immediately went up to see that the thing behind the queen bee was white, sharp and thin, but it didn't seem to be made of metal because it looked more like bone.
"Bone needles?" I asked.
"Yes, bone needle, it should be a bone needle made by a certain demon with his own bones."
"Nagisa You, is there anything to say about this bone needle? Did you use bone needles to control the youkai of the earth beasts at that time? Seeing this, the former Li Yulang asked. Nagisa thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is, but this method is not on the table, and we decent and capable demons rarely use it." I heard that some fish aquatic demons use this method because they have more bones in their bodies, and they will regularly use these bones to refine demon weapons. Then control some valuable monsters or earth beasts, eh...... I have a way to test this bone needle, and I can also detect the other party's intelligence in turn. ”
"Oh? What method? Even Old Man Tao asked in surprise.
"It's to use this bone needle to pierce my back, so that I can establish a spiritual connection with the big demon who controls the queen bee behind the scenes, and at the moment it connects with me, I can also see its appearance and situation, so that in turn I can spy on its intelligence" Unexpectedly, Nagisa Yu actually said such a risky method.
