Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 47 The Secret of the Blood Jade Bee

However, the only option is to attack by throwing stones from a distance.

They didn't bring any weapons, and perhaps they could make them themselves, but the test had only just begun, and there was still too little time.

It has absolutely no effect on brown bears.

They didn't dare to go forward, mainly because there were still quite a few Blood Jade Bees and they didn't want to be attacked.

Then, something unexpected happened to the test takers: the queen bee that had been swatted away actually flew away with the other Blood Jade Bees.

They actually know how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

Honey was already flowing from the shattered honeycomb, and the brown bear had begun licking it.

It even bit off a corner of the beehive.

Although the brown bear might be stronger, the test takers would rather face the brown bear than the overwhelming swarm of blood jade bees.

Lucci did not steal the honey.

Through Phoenix's perspective, he had already discovered many enormous beehives in the forest.

Many blood jade bees inhabit this area.

Furthermore, there were other discoveries: there were many flowers in the forest, but only other bees were collecting nectar.

No blood jade bees were seen.

Their honey-gathering target appears to be in the mountains.

Lucci caught up with the fleeing swarm of Blood Jade Bees. As an intelligent queen bee, Lucci wanted to know what they would do next.

Then they discovered that the swarm of bees was actually flying towards the mountains.

The entire Bremen mountain range was shrouded in a thin mist, obscuring everything.

But from the foot of the mountain, the trees in the mountain range become even taller, and even the weeds are more than half a meter tall.

There was no uphill path in sight; it was an even more remote and untouched place.

Lucci did not enter the mountains, but instead sent Phoenix to chase after them.

Lucci noticed that many creatures in the forest were avoiding the mountains as much as possible, as if there was something terrifying there.

Furthermore, the examiner's reminder suggested that there might be even more dangerous creatures, perhaps even magical beasts, in this mountain range.

Since Phoenix is ​​sharing the vision, he doesn't necessarily have to go in.

He should take the exam first.

Lucci headed to a nearby hive site, keeping his attention focused on Phoenix's perspective.

With Lucci's strength, he could easily collect honey from the Blood Jade Bees.

It was a bit of a pity for Lucci that he didn't have any spatial abilities, otherwise he would have wanted to take all the honey with him, and even the beehive.

The structure of a beehive seems to be quite complex, as it can also be used as food or medicine.

What kind of rare and precious item is it?

After collecting the honey, Lucci left the forest.

It took less than three hours.

"As expected, you're the first one to pass the test." The examiner wasn't surprised to see Lu Qi appear.

"This Blood Jade Bee honey is your reward for passing." The examiner did not covet the Blood Jade Bee that Lucci had obtained.

"This honey is a rare and precious product, with many benefits..." Perhaps fearing that Lucci wouldn't understand, the examiner gave Lucci a brief explanation.

It can beautify the skin, slow down aging, and prevent various diseases.

It also claims to have weight loss and aphrodisiac effects, making it a product that sells out like hotcakes as soon as it appears on the market.

"I still have exams to take, so it's not convenient. I'll leave it to you, examiner." Lucci had seen too many good things and didn't have the spatial ability to store them. He found it troublesome and decided to give it to examiner Husum.

"Then you really don't know what's good for you."

Lu Qi, unperturbed by the examiner's words, casually inquired, "The flowers from which these Blood Jade Bees collect nectar don't seem to be in the forest?"

"You noticed it in such a short time! You're really something." Hussum also gave a compliment.

"But I can't tell you that," Hussum smiled.

"Is it related to the mountains?"

"Let me give you a piece of advice: the Bremen Mountains are a very dangerous place. Even if a hunter team goes in, they will still be in danger."

"You're not a hunter yet. Once you become a hunter, you can learn more through the hunter's special intelligence network."

"Don't think that just because you've learned to read, you can go anywhere."

Hussum's words contained both admonition and warning.

In fact, Lucci had already discovered the situation in the mountains.

The swarm of Blood Jade Bees encountered numerous attacks from birds and some chameleons, which were perfectly hidden and could not be detected by visual observation alone.

The once massive force was quickly reduced to only about a hundred men.

Why did the Queen Bee bring the Blood Jade Bees into the mountains?

Lucci went straight back to the airship.

All attention was focused on Phoenix.

From a purely visual perspective, these blood jade bees entering the mountains was simply courting death.

What exactly is the reason?

By the time the last queen bee arrived, it was too late to go any further.

Because its path was blocked by a web of spider webs, many of them as big as millstones.

Is this the end?

Lucky was wondering whether he should rescue the queen bee and find out where it was headed.

But an uprising broke out in the mountains.

This caught Lucci's attention.

Phoenix immediately flew toward the source of the noise, while the various birds of prey in the air seemed to ignore it completely.

This is Phoenix's talent; although it cannot control birds, it can prevent them from attacking it.

Of course, Phoenix is ​​not afraid of attacks.

It flew several kilometers toward the target of the queen bee.

I finally saw the situation clearly.

A tall mountain, or more precisely, a giant beehive about ten meters high, appeared in Lucci's eyes.

Seeing this reminded Lucci of a chimeric ant's nest.

There's such a huge beehive!

Meanwhile, a giant spider and a large swarm of spiders are fighting against swarms of blood jade bees.

It seems like they are dividing up territory.

The largest Blood Jade Bees here are only the size of a Queen Bee; there don't seem to be any larger Blood Jade Bees.

But they fly faster and attack more swiftly.

Moreover, it was very powerful; Lucci noticed that even when entangled in the spider web, it could quickly break free.

These nameless spiders were no match for the Blood Jade Bees.

Phoenix soared into the sky under Lucci's control.

They then discovered that the beehive was located on a cliff face.

Below is a circular basin.

In other words, Lucci couldn't get Phoenix's sense of smell, otherwise he would definitely have smelled an exquisite fragrance.

In Lucci's view, the basin was a blood-red expanse.

There were rows of red plants, and blood jade bees were going in and out of them.

Lucci also noticed that some of the Blood Jade Bees were scattered, each carrying a piece of vegetation.

Some settled near the basin, while others flew beyond the mountains.

Raising the viewing angle, Lu Qi realized that the entire basin was surrounded by several enormous beehives.
