The third elder had planned very well. Looking at the moves of these people, he might be able to find the murderer. Even if he couldn’t find the culprit, he could at least suffer a little. Who would have thought that this plan would be ruined by Lin Bai.

“What’s wrong with you, kid? Who told you to charge around recklessly?”

“I’m sorry, third elder. I was too scared, so I panicked and didn’t know where to go. Did I disturb you? I’m really sorry. Fortunately, the third elder displayed his might and scared the flaming bird away.”

Lin Bai first apologized and then put on a high hat, which made third elder speechless. He couldn’t get his breath up or down. He just stared at Lin Bai with an ugly expression.

“There won’t be a next time.”

Lin Bai nodded and turned around, but there was no guilt on his face. On the way, third elder and the others didn’t treat them well. They could have made a move, but they chose to sit back and watch as if they were just watching a show.

Moreover, just now, he was certain that the flaming bird seemed to be coming for him. Lin Bai rubbed his chin, feeling a little puzzled.

Compared to the third elder’s dissatisfaction with Lin Bai, who thought that he had ruined things, the other students were grateful to Lin Bai.

After all, everyone could see that the third elder and the others had no intention of making a move at first. If it weren’t for Lin Bai’s accident, the battle might not have ended so soon.

Everyone continued to move forward. Before they had gone far, someone stopped. “Did you hear any sounds? It seems like there are insects flying.”

Hearing his question, everyone shook their heads. Other than the chirping of insects and birds, there was nothing else around them.

“Could it be that you heard something wrong? It’s just the sound of the wind blowing on the leaves.”

“Don’t be overly cautious here. We only managed to chase away the flaming bird. How could there be a new demonic beast appearing now?”

“Buzz… buzz…”

A rustling sound came from the dense forest not far away. It sounded like many little bugs were flapping their wings. The sound was getting closer and closer, so many people could hear it.

“It seems like there really is a sound.”

Everyone stared at the bushes intently. A fist-sized Scarlet Eyed Mad Bee crawled out from the bushes. Its body was surrounded by rings of golden patterns, and the steel needle on its tail flickered with a sharp cold light. It was as thick as a few fingers.

“It’s the Scarlet Eyed Mad Bee. This thing isn’t big, so it’s easy to deal with.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, the sound of flapping wings didn’t disappear. Instead, it became more and more obvious, as if there were countless little bugs flying toward them.

The people seemed to have thought of something, and their faces suddenly turned pale. “This seems to be the guide bee among the Scarlet Eyed Mad Bees.”

The abdomen of the Scarlet Eyed Mad Bee in front of him was round and had a little arc-shaped black pattern. It was the symbol of the guide bee.

The Scarlet Eyed Mad Bees were social animals. Occasionally, they would appear alone, but as long as the guide bee appeared, it meant that there would be a large group behind it.

It was easy to deal with one of them, but there were tens of thousands of them in the entire swarm. The needles on their tails were also poisonous. Once they were pricked by them, their entire body would be paralyzed and their spiritual power would gradually disappear. The steel needles could regenerate so it was extremely troublesome to deal with.

Even elder Shao and the others could not help but frown.

One, two… … countless Scarlet-Eyed Mad Bees crawled out from the bushes. The sound of their wings flapping in the air made one’s hair stand on end, indicating that there was still an endless stream of mad bees swarming over.

“Let’s be careful. Don’t alarm them.”

Elder Shao instructed everyone. With his ability, dealing with thousands of them would not be a problem. However, there were so many of them that it was quite troublesome for him.

Furthermore, the Scarlet Eyed Mad Bees were extremely vengeful creatures. If their needles were to pierce their bodies, they would need to use special methods to remove them.

It was a pity that everyone did not want to provoke the swarm of bees. However, the swarm of bees kept a close watch on them. Their compound eyes gradually shrank and their tails were also raised. Their steel needles stood in the air. It was obvious that they were the precursor to launching an attack.

“Xiu!”

Following the movement of the head bee, the Scarlet Eyed Mad Bee behind them also began to move. It was like a black wave surging over, accompanied by a faint golden light. That was the pattern on the Mad Bee’s body, and it was about to swallow everyone within.

“Run!”

Someone shouted loudly, and everyone immediately ran without any regard for their lives. After all, the combined fighting strength of the Scarlet Eyed Mad Bee Swarm was comparable to that of a grandmaster. No wonder the third elder did not even have the intention to attack.

There were already a few unlucky disciples who were left behind and their faces covered with stings. Lin Bai glanced at the corner of his eye and saw that there was a black swarm of bees behind him, densely packed together. Even the original surrounding was blocked out wherever the black swarm of bees passed by.

Wave after wave, the black waves that covered the sky and earth, as well as the sound of flapping wings, caused psychological trauma to people. In comparison, the number of Scarlet Eyed Mad Bees behind the others were much less. It was like the difference between an ocean and a small stream.

The others were all busy running for their lives, afraid that they would be caught by the bee tide, so they did not dare to turn back. Otherwise, they would find that Lin Bai alone had attracted the vast majority of the mad bees.

He frowned slightly. This was not the way to go on. He turned his gaze and landed on the third elder and the others at the front.

“Get out of my way! Get out of my way!”

The group led by the third elder rampaged around. They did not care whether there was anyone in front of them or not. They even secretly tripped the disciples of the other academies and deliberately pushed them down in order to attract the attention of the Scarlet Eyed Mad Bees.

“Save me!”

A disciple of the Shao clan accidentally fell. He was about to be swallowed by the black swarm of bees. The disciple of the Sword Cultivation Academy who was running in front didn’t mind the past conflict. He suddenly turned his head and pulled him up.

Even so, the two of them were still in danger of being caught by the swarm of bees. The Shao family’s disciple’s gaze was erratic as he formed a spell with his hand. A flash of spiritual light tripped the Sword Cultivator Academy’s disciple next to him.

Under his incredulous gaze, the Shao disciple sped off into the distance. He was the snake that the farmer saved.

Many disciples saw the scene in front of them and their hurts were furious. Unfortunately, they couldn’t even protect themselves and could only watch helplessly as he was swallowed by the swarm of bees.

At the critical moment, the black swarm of bees was about to touch his body. The sound of the swarm of bees flapping their wings could be heard as if they had already been wrapped up. He slowly closed his eyes as if he had already given up.

A hand suddenly reached out from the side and pulled him out of the black vortex. It was Lin Bai. He said indifferently, “Not everyone is worth saving.”

Seeing the food fly away, it was undoubtedly a provocation to the bees. The buzzing sound continued, and the entire swarm became irritable.

There were even more mad bees behind Lin Bai.

That person opened his mouth and was so moved that he could not speak. “You –”

Lin Bai did not have the time to chat with him. After all, there were so many Scarlet Eyed Mad Bees behind him that he had to deal with.
