Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 127 The Venomous Queen Bee (Bonus Chapter 8)

"What???"

After clearing out a swarm of poisonous bees, while everyone was reloading, I replied to Zhao Yihang's WeChat message: "What's going on? Share this post of hers with me."

"Row."

Shortly after, Zhao Yihang forwarded one of Lu Xiaobei's videos.

In the video, Lu Xiaobei is wearing an ethereal dress and squatting on a bluestone-paved road, giving various commands to a small dog wagging its tail.

"Ding Han, sit down!"

"Ding Han, wag your tail!"

"Ding Han, stand up!"

"Ding Han, bark!"

For a bite to eat, the little dog had no scruples or shame and actually did everything the instructed.

After watching it, my brain was so congested with blood that I almost fainted.

This presumptuous fellow.

"That's a bit much..."

I frowned and said, "Zhao Yihang, please reply to me saying that the person involved strongly protests."

"Row!"

As a result, a minute later, Zhao Yihang sent a screenshot of his WeChat Moments.

After he mentioned the party's strong protest, Lu Xiaobei replied with "Protest invalid, go cool off somewhere else."

"Ding Han, what exactly is going on between you and her?"

Zhao Yihang said, "Why don't you just add her back on WeChat?"

"You think I didn't want to? It's because she blocked me across the entire internet, okay?"

"That's it..."

Zhao Yihang sent a trembling emoji and said, "In that case, I won't get involved, lest the boss gets annoyed and blocks me too."

"Well, okay."

I asked, "How are you now?"

"Just muddle along. Xicheng is under reconstruction, and our school will open as usual after the Lunar New Year."

"That's good. Study hard and don't waste your time. Go have some fun."

"Nima..."

Zhao Yihang sent a resentful emoji: "Why do you and the boss both treat me like a tool? Um... Ding Han, I have a question for you. Are you still in contact with that girl who drives the white Bentley?"

"Have."

I said, "I met with her yesterday."

"I envy you. Are you in Huaining City now?"

"Ah."

"When I have time to travel to Huaining City, will you host me?"

"We'll talk about it when you get here."

"All right……"

Zhao Yihang lost interest and didn't continue the conversation.

……

They advanced steadily inside the stinging bee hive.

Ahead, in an experimental hall, a constant buzzing sound filled the air. Countless venomous bees swarmed around the hall, and a huge beehive hung from the ceiling, its sides covered with venomous bees.

"Wow, there are so many..."

Cai Cai craned her neck to take a look and said, "If we try to fight them head-on, we might not be able to withstand it. With so many poisonous bees, if they all swarm at us, we'll most likely be wiped out."

"We have to kill them; the dungeon guide requires clearing all the monsters."

I frowned and said, "Let's block the door. We'll use the method of shooting down the information pods to make them fight each other. The door to this hall isn't very big. Ruolin, hold up your shield and block the front. Cai Cai, you guys use your firepower to seal off the space above. I'll take turns firing at the information pods."

"OK!"

Cai Cai asked, "Are there any alternative plans?"

"Have."

I nodded: "If the operation fails, throw a smoke grenade and escape along the way we came, fighting back while maintaining a stalemate."

"Row!"

So, everyone quickly got ready. Zhang Ruolin placed a dark blue shield at the entrance of the laboratory, while I positioned the Roarer on top of the shield, and the other three provided cover fire.

The next second, bursts of fire began, three shots at a time, the sound of "rat-a-tat-tat~~rat-a-tat-tat~~" echoing endlessly. Accompanying the bursts of fire were information sacs landing one after another, the pheromones inside the sacs rising into the air. In an instant, the entire hall was thrown into chaos, countless poisonous bees fighting each other, a scene of blood and gore.

Soon after, the entire hall was emptied, and the dead bees scattered all over the floor were converted into our experience points.

"It seems I really need to check the details of the dungeon."

Zhang Ruolin sighed, "If we hadn't used the information capsule's settings, it would have been almost impossible to easily deal with the poisonous bees in the entire hall. If we had tried to force it, we would have either been killed or seriously injured."

"Let's go."

I picked up the Roarer and said, "Let's go up to the next level. We need to speed things up."

"Ok!"

……

It was around 11 p.m.

Finally, after many trials and tribulations, and with Cai Cai and Fatty's ammunition nearly exhausted, we arrived at the top floor of the Stinger Hive dungeon map. The top floor was a huge hall, shrouded in vines and plants. At the center stood a giant hive, crawling with poisonous bees, and right in the center of the hive, a deep red embryo was slowly wriggling, about to emerge from its cocoon.

"Be careful, that's most likely the boss!"

Cai Cai marked the embryo.

"how to spell?"

Zhang Ruolin frowned: "There are too many poisonous bees, at least three or four hundred. If the BOSS is triggered at this time, the risk of wiping out the whole team will be quite high."

"We really can't act rashly..."

I looked at the beehive and suggested, "How about this... the four of you retreat outside first, and I'll try to clear out the mobs using the tactic of shooting down the information pods. After the BOSS emerges from its cocoon, you can come back and fight with me."

"Boss, is this okay?"

Cai Cai said, "How about I stay and provide fire support for you?"

"Need not."

I shook my head: "I have 640 armor and 2.3 health now. It's not that easy for me to die. Do as I say."

"Cai Cai, let's back off."

Zhang Ruolin said, "I will follow Ding Han's instructions."

"it is good!"

Cai Cai readily agreed and retreated while clutching her submachine gun.

I looked up at the huge beehive, then loaded the Roarer with a full magazine. The next second, I aimed at the poisonous bees with information pods around the beehive and started firing in bursts, destroying seven or eight information pods in the blink of an eye!
"Buzz-"

A swarm of poisonous bees is attacking!

Step Slash!
After shifting five yards in an instant, he raised his gun and shot down three more information pouches in a flash!
The number of poisonous bees is increasing, they're everywhere!
"Pong!"

Explosive Charge!

A burst of energy stuns a swarm of poisonous bees, leaving them stunned in place. I turn around and continue firing until the entire magazine is empty. As I switch magazines, countless poisonous bees swarm in, looking fierce and terrifying!
"Boss, be careful!"

In the team chat, Kou Mei's exclamation came through.

I remained completely calm, took out two smoke grenades and threw them out to block the smoke!
The next moment, I continued firing upwards, and one by one, information capsules fell to the ground like ripe pears. In the blink of an eye, this triggered infighting among the swarm of poisonous bees. So, after I ran around the hive three times, almost all the poisonous bees were caught up in the infighting, fighting and squealing, turning into countless white beams of experience that flew towards the five members of the team!
"Squeak~~~"

Just then, the deep red embryo in the center of the hive finally broke open, and a huge poisonous bee the size of a millstone emerged from it, flapping its wings and soaring high, with a purple tinge above its head.

[Highly Venomous Queen Bee] (Purple BOSS)

Rating: 35
Attack: 850-1200
Defense: 400
Qi and blood: 500000
Skills: [Poison Sting Attack Lv8], [Charge Lv8], [Windmill Lv8]

Details: The Queen Bee is a mutated form born within the Stinger hive. It possesses incredibly strong physical strength and has evolved terrifying venom within its body. Once attacked by its stinger, the chances of survival are slim!
……

"The BOSS has emerged from seclusion, let's go!"

Not far away, Cai Cai, Zhang Ruolin, and others rushed over.

"Be careful."

I switched to my explosive pistol and confronted the Venomous Queen Bee, frowning as I said, "The Venomous Queen Bee has a stinger attack. We must avoid this attack, or it could be quite fatal!"

"Attack first!"

"Ok!"

The next moment, locking onto the head of the highly venomous queen bee, he raised his hand and used a Heavenly Craftsmanship Armor-Piercing Technique, then unleashed a barrage of bullets. With each volley of armor-piercing rounds, the queen bee's head trembled violently as it was pierced repeatedly, and countless damage numbers soared into the sky!

"1497!"

"1536!"

"3066!"

"1512!"

"1488!"

……

The distance was too close, the headshot rate reached 100%, and all hits dealt three times the damage. When a critical hit was triggered, the damage increased to six times the damage. The magazine was emptied in a few seconds, and the Venomous Bee Queen's health bar dropped by more than 7!

High damage output is one of the secrets to quickly defeating bosses in Star Abyss.

As for a war of attrition, most players can't afford it. At this stage, most players have low defense and low health, and they simply can't withstand the ravages of the purple BOSS. The Light Priest is a heavily armored and violent class that can't heal at all. The only way to heal in this game seems to be through healing items, so the only way is to kill quickly!

"Om~~~"

Suddenly, the highly venomous queen bee pounced, her stinger raised high, poised to strike downwards!

"Ding Han, be careful!" Zhang Ruolin shouted urgently.

Actually, I've been paying attention all along. While switching magazines, I suddenly activated the Step Slash and charged forward to the left. With a "thud," a big MISS popped up behind me. At that moment, a cooldown bar for Poison Sting Attack appeared below the BOSS's health bar. This skill would be off cooldown in 11 seconds!
"Go all out!"

Raise the bomb gun, aim at the BOSS's head, and quickly pull the trigger. Taking advantage of the few seconds of armor-piercing effect left by the Heavenly Craftsmanship, I emptied the magazine and dealt over 8 damage!
At this point, with the added damage from Cai Cai, Ruo Lin, and others, the BOSS's health bar was down to only 40%!
In just ten seconds, our team's output was terrifying!
"Zhizhi~~~"

The venomous queen bee howled violently and slammed its body against Zhang Ruolin's shield. In an instant, Ruolin's health bar visibly decreased. Then, wisps of wind energy rose from the venomous queen bee's body!

[Please note that the Venomous Queen Bee (purple boss) is about to activate her skill "Windmill Lv8"!]

……

"Holy crap, Ruolin, watch out!"

Cai Cai hurriedly pressed her face against the BOSS to attack, but it was no use. The body of the Venomous Bee Queen had begun to spin like a top, forming a wind energy field around it. Cai Cai, Ruolin, and Fatty's health bars were already decreasing!

"Pong!"

Zhang Ruolin was no novice. She immediately appeared behind the BOSS with a 5-yard burst charge. Unfortunately, a large "Resistance" appeared above the Venomous Bee Queen's head, and she was not affected by the stun effect of the burst charge!
"Not good!"

Cai Cai was shocked: "The priority of the Burst Charge judgment is not high enough!"

"Don't panic!"

The next second, I was already close, a purple longsword appeared in my hand, my entire arm suddenly trembled and became icy cold, cosmic frost swirled around the blade and swept across, landing directly on BOS's abdomen, and a wisp of frost spread rapidly!
As expected of an S-rank skill, the priority of "Cold Star" is much higher than that of "Explosive Charge" (B-rank)!
