Chapter 233: Queen bee
"Kguh!" Wei Jun was struck by the full weight of a guard bee and flung to the end of the cave. There were four bees attacking him at once and it was very difficult for him to dodge all of their attacks.
While the queen bee and another guard bee were busy, the rest of the four were enough to defeat Wei Jun many times over and the only reason he was able to survive was because of his strength and martial arts skills.
Still, that was proving to be harder and harder as time went on and in no time, he was on the verge of being cornered.
But…
[HP 41\\103]
Wei Jun's HP was still strong enough for him to engage with the bees. But the problem was that that wasn't enough. Just being engaged with them wasn't enough. Wei Jun needed to at least get some attacks in but no matter what he did, the guard bees had excellent coordination with each other.
As if they all had one mind and different bodies. Their coordination was to the point that Wei Jun thought it was near perfect. So much so that he couldn't find a crack in that defense even after four minutes of fighting.
But, that crack soon came.
It wasn't long before the guard bees changed places with the queen bee and Wei Jun, for the first time, noticed competitiveness among them.
They were about to fight who would go next and in that brief moment, they ignored Wei Jun completely.
[Don't attack them yet!]
Wei Jun was about to move in when the system stopped him. Wei Jun stopped. He was confused as to why the system said that but he stopped regardless and he was glad he did because he felt the face of the Queen bee on him.
There were no eyes but Wei Jun could feel a certain sense of danger from that face, as if she was warning him to let her children duke it out amongst themselves first and then make his move.
'This bit*h…' Wei Jun was left speechless at the scene he was witnessing. She wasn't even considering Wei Jun an opponent. She was just there for her children's entertainment and bonding.
It made him angry beyond reason.

[Host, calm down!]
"SHUT THE FU*K UPPP!!!!"
Anger beyond reason wasn't just something Wei Jun could turn and shut down.
Wei Jun let out waves of Qi that spread throughout the surroundings and attracted the attention of the bees to him. The queen bee still had her face turned to him but she subtly shook her head as well, as if she was thinking what a fool and did nothing more than fuel Wei Jun's anger.
Wei Jun pulled out the machine gun in his inventory and without a care in the world, aimed it at the ceiling of the cave and began to shoot.
Pop!
Crackle!!!!
Shells broke down which made the queen bee scream and following her scream, the guard bees launched at Wei Jun at once.
Wei Jun smirked, put the gun back, and pulled out the bee stingers. The guard bees weren't playing anymore. They were rushed. What it meant was simple. Their coordination wasn't there anymore.
Wei Jun jumped high up and used Qi discharge to propel him up further. Just as he was close to the ceiling of the cave, he looked at the queen bee and smirked, taunting her back for how she taunted him.
Wei Jun pulled a plethora of explosives from his inventory and stuck them up into the ceiling.
He looked down at the queen, knowing she couldn't see him but he still raised his middle finger and said, "Fu*k you, you bit*h!!!"
[Qi discharge]
Emitting Qi from his feet to the maximum, Wei Jun headed for the exit of the cave but one of the guard bees was able to block his path.
Wei Jun didn't slow down but instead, he increased his speed to the maximum he could and rammed into the guard bee before it could let out the venomous saliva from its open mouth.
Bam!!!
Wei Jun fell on the ground along with the guard bee but before anyone could come to their senses, Wei Jun hurriedly turned and flipped the guard bee on top of him.
Just as he did…
Boom!!!
An explosion unlike the one before shook everything in the gate. The hive mountain blew up in its entirety, all of it collapsing from the great explosion.
The elder on the outside made sure to protect the disciples but even she couldn't believe it to the point Wei Jun went to kill everything in the beehive, even putting himself in grave danger.
"Surround them!" While the elder was busy shielding the disciples who just come out of the cave and were disoriented by the blast, Ju Bai Lu yelled an order to his subordinates.
'What a trash!' The elder couldn't help but say in her heart as she saw Ju Bai Lu surrounding the students and attacking Lin Ruan.
The others in his group attacked the other disciples too and a fight broke out.
The elder shook her head. Even though it was cowardly, no rule was broken and Ju Bai Lu was just doing what his baser human instincts told him to.
Instead, she just remained there to make sure no one died. Because that was her task and only that. Nothing more.
'Let him and my nephew fight if it ever came to it. Just make sure they don't die.' She remembered the sect master's words and couldn't help but be puzzled by them.
"Ugh~~~"
Inside the cave, Wei Jun laboriously pushed the bee on top of him but no matter what he did, he didn't know how deep of a rubble he was buried in.
[Multiple contusions detected]
[Multiple ruptures detected]
[Multiple bone fractures detected]
[Number of dislocated joints: 14]
[Number of broken bones: 37]
[You have been afflicted with the status 'Extremely injured']
[You will lose 1 point of HP every 30 seconds]
[HP 8\\102]
[Death Qi +28]
Wei Jun didn't know why the emergency healing function of the system wasn't activated, but he wasn't very eager to find out either.
He still had enough HP to last him four minutes and he wanted to make sure he got out of there before he took a healing pill.
Destroying the hive had only earned him 28 points of Death Qi but with the small number of bees he killed, he was sure that the queen bee would have died as well since he only received this high of a point from a higher-ranking monster.
While Wei Jun was busy pushing, he felt as if the weight on him was getting less and less by the second.
'Must be one of the disciples or the elder,' Wei Jun thought but he couldn't be sure because he was still getting by due to the activated skills but his Qi had long since run out using [Qi construct] and [Qi discharge] so many times.
He decided he would take both of the pills after when he got out from underneath the rubble.
But as the weight on him was lessening, he felt something fall on his cheek.
And…
Sizzle!!!
His face burned.
[HP -2]
And that wasn't all. There was more dripping from the rubble. The rubble wasn't lessening in pressure. It was being straight-up melted.
Wei Jun hurriedly consumed both pills and put his hand on the front. As he touched the back of the bee that was holding all of the rubble back from crushing him, Wei Jun thought of trying the only thing he had never done before.
"Open inventory!"
Wei Jun began to store everything in front of him in the inventory. As the rubble fell on his hand and injured him, it was instantly stored in the inventory once the protection of the guard bee was gone.
Wei Jun had never thought of trying this before but he wasn't in a situation to think whether or not he should do it. He just had a sudden idea and he attempted it on the spot and to his luck, it worked.
But, it wasn't long before he found out why the rubble on top of him was being melted.
Wei Jun hurriedly let all of his Qi out, as much as he could in each discharge, and propelled him upwards, trying to dodge the puddle of venom that had formed underneath him, just before the rocks he was lying on.
"This bit*h!"
Wei Jun was taken aback by the sight of the injured queen who screamed as soon as she felt him appear on the surface and let out as much venomous saliva as she could and shot it at him.
Wei Jun managed to avoid most of it but he was still caught up in it which caused his Qi barrier to melt and crack along with his body and he crashed into the ground.
[HP -76]
"Arrgghhh!!!"
Wei Jun gritted his teeth, or at least half of it because the left side of his face from below his ear and the left side of his body were melted away by the venom of the queen bee.
Wei Jun, even in that tremendous pain, looked at the queen bee who was slowly advancing towards him, her wings damaged so she had to walk.
'Fu*k.'
