Druid Fairy

Chapter 55 Killer Bees
Killer hornets, also known as tiger hornets, are considered a menacing menace in the mountains and forests.

They are fierce by nature, highly aggressive, live in flocks, fly at high speeds, do not like to make honey, and prefer to eat raw meat.

If a person is attacked and pierced by a poisoned needle, they may suffer from poisoning or even death.

It is a notorious type of bee swarm.

"Who's injured?" Li Pingfu asked seriously. He knew Li Yuan's personality; he wouldn't be so flustered unless something had happened to one of his brothers.

"Little Five, Little Seven got stung! Those bees are fierce; they can even pierce through leather armor!" Li Yuan exclaimed in alarm.

Over the years, the brothers and sisters have gradually been ranked according to seniority, and this ranking is naturally based on ability rather than age.

Li Pingfu is undoubtedly the eldest brother, leading a group of brothers to make a name for themselves. No one in Peach Blossom Mountain can surpass him, and he is also a rising star in Pantao Town, not to be underestimated.

"First, apply the antidote ointment to stop the bleeding and take it to the clinic in town," Li Pingfu decided immediately. "Call all the brothers back. This isn't an accident; we're being targeted."

Due to their threatening nature, killer bees were once spontaneously culled by mountain villagers, and now their remaining numbers are not large. In the wild, killer bees do not form a large swarm and their harm to humans is limited.

It's too suspicious that they could injure Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi right away.

Li Pingcan said, "Brother, it's early spring now, the ice and snow have just melted, it's not the time for killer bees to be active yet."

Li Pingfu was now even more certain that this was not an accident, and frowned, saying, "It must have been done by the Bee Alliance."

The so-called "bee alliance" is actually a group of beekeepers who travel to the mountains. Wherever there are flowers, they will take their beehives there and sell honey along the way.

But a large forest has all kinds of birds.

The same applies to bee alliances; some genuinely sell honey, while others sell fake honey, passing off watery honey as raw honey!
A few days ago, villagers discovered that several beekeepers were making fake honey, which led to a conflict. The old village chief almost got punched, but Li Pingfu and his brothers stepped in to resolve the situation.

Unexpectedly, the man harbored a grudge and attempted to take someone's life with killer bees.

"Li Yuan, go and take Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi to the clinic first, then call the brothers over later."

"Okay, Brother Pingfu." Li Yuan hurried away.

After Li Yuan walked away, Li Pingfu asked, "Little brother, do you have a way to deal with this swarm of killer bees?"

Killer bees capable of stinging martial artists are clearly beyond the concept of ordinary insects; they are insects of vital energy, or even precious species.

Ordinary protective suits are no match for them; wearing steel armor would make it difficult to move around in the mountains while tracking down those members of the Bee Alliance.

They could only turn to their mysteriously capable underlings for help.

What a coincidence! This is a perfect match for my major!
Li Pingcan smiled slightly. After the Purple-Gold Blood Centipede, the ant swarm, and a Blood Poison Scorpion, his [Insect Contract] had successfully reached LV3 from level 0, and he still had one contract slot remaining.

Once the queen bee is found, the entire colony can be contracted.

"Brother, don't worry, I'll take care of the killer bees."

…………

The earth is the druid's ear, and the spores are the druid's eye.

A gentle breeze swept across the rolling green hills and crisscrossing valleys, carrying ancient songs and legends. Li Pingcan strolled leisurely through thorns and vines, listening to the whispers of nature, and easily pinpointed the location of the killer bee swarm and its queen.

Even without the mushroom perspective, he could find the queen bee.

Two black and yellow striped hornets were eating the meat strips given to them by Li Pingcan, excitedly flapping their wings, the resonance creating a buzzing sound.

Thanks to the druid's natural affinity, these menacing killer bees showed no aggression towards Li Pingcan. After he bribed them with a piece of pork, they even volunteered to be "guides," leading the druid back to their nest without any suspicion.

"You guys go back, I won't go."

Li Pingcan said to the two little ones, "I can already see the plump queen bee in the beekeeper's hand, clumsily rolling her body."

At this distance, even without showing themselves, a contract can be formed.

"Cast [Insect Contract]".

When Li Pingcan connected his consciousness to the queen bee, he clearly felt resistance. This queen bee, nurtured by humans, had become even more powerful, with a controllable colony exceeding a thousand. This also indicated that the queen bee's mental strength and resistance were stronger.

If the contract fails the first time, it is almost impossible for him to succeed in making a contract a second time.

After thinking for a moment, Li Pingcan tempted, "Come to me, and you'll have endless honey water and meat to eat, and it will also make your tribe stronger."

He was just experimenting; after all, baby killer bees are greedy, and the queen bee might have the same trait.

Unexpectedly, in an instant, the queen bee's resistance vanished without a trace, and the contract was successfully formed.

"Isn't it too easy for them to betray us?"

Li Pingcan was speechless. This guy was too greedy and had no integrity whatsoever.

The thought of those two "traitors" suddenly made perfect sense.

Just then, the leading beekeeper frowned, sensing something was wrong.

His killer bee queen is a treasure, with formidable killing power, which allows him to move freely through the mountains and wilderness.

But suddenly, the seemingly nonexistent blood pact with the queen bee was completely severed. The queen bee was clearly in his hand, but he couldn't feel her presence at all!
"This tiny Peach Blossom Mountain is full of weird things!"

The lead beekeeper spat fiercely, "It's all that kid's fault for being so blind! Ha, I've already scouted out Peach Blossom Village. I'll tell Wu Laoliu about the situation in the village later, we'll divide the spoils and then leave. I'll go back and ask my master about the queen bee."

With the queen bee in his hand, he wasn't particularly flustered, even though he couldn't feel the contract.

……

"Reconnaissance, then dividing the spoils?"

"This beekeeper is so talented, he can even double as a night thief?"

Li Pingcan looked at the black crows circling in the sky, knowing that his elder brother had already led his men to surround the exit of the mountain road, and slowly chewed on a stalk of grass.

"Trying to rob or steal from our village? I'll beat you up first! Queen Bee, charge!"

He gave the order.

The queen bee twisted her body, secreted pheromones, and gave the order to the colony: "Go get them!"

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Swarms of killer bees flew out of the hive, their wings flapping like the vibrations of a helicopter, startling the honeybees so much that they trembled and dared not move. They flew at the beekeepers like an orderly army, raising their abdomens and stabbing them hard.

The sounds of crying and cursing were incessant.

"What's going on? The bees have rioted!"

"It hurts, it hurts too much!"

"Old Huang, what's going on?! Is your queen bee upset?"

The beekeepers quickly took the bee medicine, but this only reduced the toxicity and did not alleviate the pain of the stings!

Each person's head seemed to be covered with a "bee hat" made by a swarm of bees.

"Run away, run away!"

In their panic, the beekeepers fled without even taking their beehives.

In the chaos, the queen bee in Lao Huang's hand also vanished!

at the foot of the mountain.

The disheveled beekeeper saw five young martial artists lying in wait, the leader of whom had a calm and cold expression and eyes like knives.

"Take action, kill, bury the body."
