Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 5: Though there are thousands of troops!

Although, to be honest, I seem to know almost nothing about occult knowledge.

However, during these three days, Xia Fa learned a little bit about the superhumans in the church by overhearing their casual conversations, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Yes, in this world, the extraordinary do not shy away from ordinary people. The public not only knows of the existence of the extraordinary, but also knows that there are strange and supernatural creatures in the world.

Ordinary people both admire and respect those with extraordinary abilities.

The envy stems from the fact that extraordinary individuals possess power far exceeding that of ordinary people and enjoy social resources unavailable to them.

As for respect, it stems from the fact that ordinary people have witnessed firsthand how extraordinary individuals have stood up countless times to protect the people, fight against the supernatural, and even sacrifice themselves in extraordinary events.

Therefore, the nine churches corresponding to the nine true gods of this world receive a large amount of donations every year, donations from the people from the bottom of their hearts.

After regaining his composure, Xia Fa didn't dwell on it and focused his gaze back on the black metal and the luminous ruby ​​floating in the air.

Upon closer inspection, patterns of trees and lakes appear and disappear intermittently on the black metal.

The ruby ​​is filled with burrs, which move around inside like dust particles.

"This... must be the extraordinary essence that the extraordinary individuals in the church are talking about, right?"

The extraordinary essence is the source of the extraordinary power of strange and supernatural beings.

If humanity wants to gain extraordinary power through the secret union, the extraordinary essence is an absolutely indispensable element.

"I heard that even the lowest grade of this thing is very valuable, starting at tens or hundreds of gold pounds, or even more..."

In comparison, the job of a dock clerk only paid a paltry seven silver coins per week.

Remembering the few pitiful silver coins left in his pocket, and looking at the two giant beasts that were already completely dead, Xia Fa walked forward with firm steps.

With his extraordinary essence extracted, he had nothing to fear anymore. He walked to the still-warm corpses of the two giant beasts, reached out and scooped up the ruby ​​floating in the air into his palm.

It felt warm to the touch, and the texture was similar to that of a gemstone, but there were sharp, bristly hairs protruding from the gemstone, pricking his palm and making him quite uncomfortable.

Xia Fa pulled out a crudely made copper liquor jar from his pocket. It was a cheap liquor he had bought a few days ago to keep warm, which he had already finished. Now it came in handy. He opened the lid and put the gem inside.

With a clang, the gemstone made contact with the bottom of the jar, a crisp and melodious sound, like a pound falling into a purse.

Xia Fa bent down again and reached for the black metal.

Now that we're closer, the cool aura emanating from the black metal is incredibly strong, like someone has sprinkled chilled mint concentrate into the air.

Xia Fa suppressed the urge to sneeze, picked up the black metal, and felt a bone-chilling coldness that spread throughout his body through his palm, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

This black metal piece was as big as a fist; it definitely wouldn't fit in the bronze wine jar.

Xia Fa had no choice but to take out his old, brown goatskin money pouch, untie the greasy knots, take out the silver coins and put them in his pocket, and then put the black metal inside.

Strangely, the moment the knot was tightened to close the money bag, the fresh scent immediately disappeared, the surroundings returned to the dampness of the cave, and a strange sour smell even filled the air again.

Having unexpectedly found two extraordinary substances, equivalent to a large sum of money, Xia Fa was in high spirits. He turned around, ready to continue exploring for the exit.

But the next moment, he froze, standing there motionless.

Above the pitch-black wasteland, in the hazy gray sky, a large patch of black and yellow clouds was rapidly approaching, accompanied by a deafening buzzing sound.

No, that's not a dark cloud, it's a swarm of giant killer bees! Each one is the size of an adult human, and there are at least tens of thousands of them!
Their enormous, translucent wings flapped rapidly, leaving afterimages in the air, and the poisonous stingers at their tails resembled extremely sharp daggers, gleaming with a chilling light that could pierce the soul.

Emerald-colored venom dripped intermittently from the tip of the poison needle, instantly corroding the soil and creating a large pit, emitting countless plumes of white smoke, and filling the air with an acidic stench.

Those strange trees and glowing mushrooms that come into contact with the substance quickly begin to wither.

As a result, the already dark underground world became even darker, and almost nothing could be seen.

However, if these are indeed just mutated killer bees, Xia Fa can immediately hide in the lake, betting that the killer bees won't dare to go into the water.

But what's fatal is that these killer bees, though their bodies resemble enlarged versions of wasps with interwoven black and yellow ring stripes, all of them... have a human face!
These people had faces that were either bright and beautiful, alluring, or indifferent... but their eyes all held a bloodthirsty killing intent and a cold glint.

These are clearly... a bunch of weirdos!
A bizarre number of tens of thousands!

The next moment, the army of killer bees with human faces approached, spreading out in a ring, and was about to surround Xia Fa.

Xia Fa swallowed hard, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

So, it seems the strange creatures in this cave don't want him to leave today, right?
Suddenly, the swarm's formation stopped, and directly in front of Xia Fa, the swarm dispersed like a tide.

A killer bee queen, five meters long, flapped her wings and flew out.

This is a near-perfect creature, every part of its body conforming to the definition of aesthetics.

Her face was incredibly beautiful and extremely alluring, as if it could ignite the desire of any man in the world, but her eyes were so innocent, like those of a naive young girl.

Her waist was slender, yet her breasts were voluptuous, and her long, rounded legs with yellow and black stripes swayed in the air as she flew, making it impossible to look away.

But at this moment, Xia Fa naturally had no mind to appreciate the killer bee queen.

In particular, after sensing the overwhelming majesty and terrifying aura emanating from her, his mind raced, focused solely on how to escape.

How about we try to communicate with them?
This killer bee queen seems to be quite intelligent.

I just don't know if they can reason like humans.

The Queen Killer Bee lowered her eyelids, her gaze indifferent, but she directly looked past Xia Fa and at a glowing mushroom tree behind him.

Behind the thick, tree-trunk-like stalk of the mushroom, a pair of small, golden cat ears twitched. As if sensing something, the petite body trembled and shrank even further behind the tree.

The killer bee queen revealed a mocking smile, as if toying with prey that had fallen into her grasp.

"A tiny doll-like girl, and I've been chasing her for so long. Now let's see where you can run..."

She had just thought that when she suddenly froze.

She seemed to suddenly notice something, or rather, she finally noticed Xiafa, the human, standing by the lake.

The Holy Poison Bee Queen Veronica, known as the "Patriarch of All Poisons," suddenly turned her gaze to Shafa, and her pupils visibly contracted.

She seemed a little uncertain, glanced at Xia Fa again, and then glanced at him once more.

Immediately afterwards, a look of utter confusion appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.
