Chapter 336 Melvit, the Mystery of the Queen Bee
A minute ago, inside the hive.
Thick, smooth, golden, endless honey flows on the ceiling, cascading down from the center like a waterfall, continuously pouring into the huge cocoon.
The moment he rushed into the hive, Gu Qinye put Yuriel down immediately.
At this moment, the black electric arcs that remained around them had dissipated. The two stopped at the entrance of the palace, raised their heads and quickly looked around, vigilantly observing the strange scenes in the palace.
Inside the huge cocoon, there lay a three-meter-long queen bee. There was a long and narrow scar on her chest. As expected, that was the queen bee.
In front of the queen bee's cocoon, there is an ordinary-looking queen bee stationed there. From a distance, it looks like a large ordinary worker bee.
The only difference between this queen bee and a worker bee is that it has facial features similar to humans, but without a protruding stinger at the philtrum, so it looks less ferocious and more like a gentle old uncle.
"The Fourth Bee Queen, Melvit," Uriel whispered. "We don't know what abilities it possesses yet, so we must handle it with caution."
"Is it the only one among the four bee queens whose abilities are unknown?" Gu Qiye asked.
Uriel nodded silently, Melvit's face reflected in her ice-blue eyes.
Melvert sighed, slowly stood up from the front of the cocoon, and scratched his head. "From the noise, it seems like the fight outside is quite intense... You must have taken advantage of the chaos to sneak in, right? You're quite good at taking advantage of others. It's fate that you ran into a lazy person like me."
Before the Four Bee Marquis could finish his words, Yuriel and Gu Qinye had disappeared from their original positions and were coming to surround him from both sides.
Uriel rode the ice, which stretched forward, her movements as swift as whistling snow. With a casual lift of her hand, she conjured a vast, yet sharp, icicle in midair.
“Bang! Bang! Bang—!”
The Icelandic girl slightly bent her knuckles, and more than ten ice cones instantly tore through the air, shooting straight forward from above her head, launching a tentative attack on Melvit.
On the other side, Gu Qiye had the experience of fighting against Qiao last time, so he was not sure whether every bee queen contained neurotoxins that could paralyze the opponent.
So he also did not approach Melvit rashly, but instead a very black electric light burst out from his fingertips, forming a beam of light that swept forward with a hissing sound.
At this moment, two honeycomb-shaped hexagonal mirrors suddenly appeared in the air, blocking Melvit on the left and right sides, with a length and width of three meters each.
Yuriel's ice cone fell into the mirror on the left and melted in an instant, as if there was a huge space hidden inside the mirror; the same thing happened to Gu Qiye, and the beam of black electric light was directly swallowed up by the hexagonal mirror on the right.
Years of combat experience made Gu Qinye and Yuriel realize that something was wrong. In that fleeting 0.5 seconds, they both became alert.
It happened in a flash. In an instant, a black electric light shot out from the mirror on the left and went straight to Yuriel's heart; and from the mirror on the right, a series of ice cones shot out, wrapped in a whistling cold current, flying towards Gu Qiye.
A steep ice surface suddenly formed under Yuriel's feet. She leaned down and slid quickly to the right. Her snow-white hair flew between the cold current and the broken ice. She was like an elf leaping on the glacier, light and agile.
In an instant, the flash of lightning that popped out from the mirror swept past the side of her cheek.
Although she narrowly avoided the attack, the arc of electricity still tore a corner of the shoulder of her combat uniform, leaving a long wound on her skin.
At this moment, electric lights were dancing on the blurred flesh and blood, and severe pain and numbness were transmitted to her brain.
But the Icelandic girl didn't blink, and her face showed no expression, as if she didn't feel any pain.
If she had been even two centimeters closer, her head would have been reduced to ashes in an instant by the violent lightning! This was the first time Yuriel had experienced the terrifying destructive power of Gu Qiye's lightning from the perspective of her opponent.
On the other side of the palace, Gu Qiye had already disappeared from the spot, and the ice cones reflected from the mirror could not even reach his afterimage.
At this moment, his figure turned into a beam of black lightning. He silently walked around Melvit and came to Uriel's side. Then he bent down and turned his head to look at Uriel's shoulder.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Uriel shook her head expressionlessly and met his eyes for a second.
Almost at the same time their eyes met, Gu Qinye and Yuriel were certain that the other had understood the Four Bee Queens' special ability - to create mirrors that could absorb attacks and autonomously reflect the objects stored in them.
So the two of them instantly reached a consensus that they should not fight each other at a distance at this time, as that would only bring trouble upon themselves;
If close combat is adopted, the presence of Melvit's special ability will be reduced exponentially.
"Do you know?" Melvit suddenly said, "I'm the last bee queen born, and also the weakest among them. So from the moment I was born, Her Majesty the Queen Bee told me... the only way to give birth to a true queen of the Light-Eating Bee Clan is for the bees to kill and devour each other."
Gu Qinye was slightly stunned, and Yuriel looked at Melvitt expressionlessly.
"It's sad, isn't it?" Melvitt spread his hands.
"I can see that you have a strong desire to talk." Gu Qiye said, "But chatting during a fight is not a good trait."
As he finished speaking, Gu Qiye had already approached Melvitt, with arcs of electricity surging all over his body. He first raised his fist to make a feint, then suddenly leaned forward to avoid Melvitt's grasp, then twisted his body, raised his knee, and kicked upwards.
A layer of black lightning was attached to the heel and hit Melvit's chin straight.
"Bang!" Melvit's body flew backwards, the exoskeleton covering his jaw was shattered by lightning, and black blood gushed out.
At this time, Yuriel's attack followed one after another. She caught up with the Four Bee Lords on the ice, and an ice-blue long sword formed between the palm of her right hand.
A hexagonal honeycomb mirror formed right in front of Uriel, but she had anticipated it. Riding on the ice, she glided through the air swiftly and lightly, then circled behind Melvit and stabbed him with a sword.
Melvitt suddenly flipped in the air, stabilized his body, stepped on the ceiling with his legs, then suddenly raised his hand, and grasped the ice sword with his right hand covered with an exoskeleton.
However, at this moment, something strange happened - in 0.1 second, Uriel condensed the air right in front of Melvit's eye sockets, and tiny ice dust gathered in mid-air, forming two spikes as thick as fingertips.
Then, two tiny ice spikes shot straight forward and pierced Melvit's eye sockets.
"Damn it! Despicable human!" Melvitt looked at the ice spikes piercing his pupils, but had no time to stop them, so he let out an exaggerated roar.
In an instant, his eyeballs were pierced by two tiny ice spikes, and blood splattered in his eye sockets. Melvit screamed, and his vision went black, but his remaining keen senses still helped him observe the surrounding environment.
At this moment, he was standing on the ceiling, halfway upside down, and crushed the ice sword in his hand with force, blood oozing from his palm.
But the next moment, a huge ice hammer appeared in Uriel's left hand, and she swung it from bottom to top, hitting Melvit's chest.
A cold wave formed by a cold current hit his face, and the air temperature dropped steadily. Melvitt formed a mirror on his chest in time, and the giant hammer swung by Uriel was absorbed into it.
In an instant, the ice hammer shot out from the mirror and hit Uriel's head. In her ice-blue eyes, the hammer was getting closer and closer, like the Grim Reaper approaching with a scythe.
Gu Qiye had already bent his knees and crushed the ground, then shot up like an arrow, hugged Yuriel's body, and then stepped on a corner of the ceiling.
The ice hammer passed beneath them, leaving the corners of their clothes slightly frosted. Gu Qiye's body hung upside down, his foot on the ceiling, and he shot towards Melvert like an arrow.
He held Uriel in one hand and raised the other hand forward.
His right fist was wrapped in violent lightning, turning into a pitch-black drill and smashing towards Melvit's head. The lightning was silent, but it seemed to be roaring, revealing a violent and surging black.
Melvitt lost his eyes temporarily. Although the light-eating bee has strong self-healing ability, this is the most vulnerable part of the body and it will still take some time to recover.
In addition, Uriel formed a thin layer of ice dust in the air, which lightly condensed his fists and legs. Therefore, Melvit naturally could not react to Gu Qiye's sudden attack at this moment.
Before he could raise his arms, he was hit on the head by an oncoming electric fist!
"Swish!" The pitch-black lightning was like a poisonous snake catching its prey, tearing through the exoskeleton layer by layer, and then shattered half of Melvit's head in one fell swoop.
"Puff!" Blood spurted out! Gu Qiye fell from the sky, holding Yuriel in his arms!
"Ah--!" Melvitt's head was half broken, with black blood flowing out. The remaining half of his face was as hideous as a devil. His blood-stained eye sockets were open, revealing a black hole in them.
He stomped his foot on the ceiling, fell to the floor, and rolled to the ground.
Then, Melvit struggled to stand up and walked towards Gu Qinye step by step.
At the same time, honeycomb-like mirrors were stacked on Melvit's side, fitting him perfectly to arm him into an indestructible warrior.
Gu Qinye squatted down, put down Yuriel, raised his head and saw this scene, then distanced himself from Melvit.
Melvitt's remaining lips twitched. "And the Queen Bee even told me that the purpose of giving birth to me was to be eaten by the other queen bees, so that the true Queen Bee could be born... This feeling is truly unbearable. It's as if I was destined to be food for the other queen bees from the moment I was born. I was born a sacrifice."
"How could there be such a mother in the world? If I knew nothing, I would be content to accept it, but I have devoured your human memories and knowledge, and now I understand the situation I am in."
"In your human terms, this feeling should be emptiness... anger, right?"
Melvert raised his hand and pointed at the giant cocoon behind him. He gritted his teeth, the corners of his broken mouth twitching as he yelled hysterically:
"I told her I didn't want to be a sacrifice, that I wanted to live, but she flew into a rage, so... so I severely injured the Queen and ripped open her womb. But now, now... am I going to die protecting her? This is such a damn irony..."
