Chapter 722 Bee Swarm War

Beyond the forest's outskirts, vines gradually decrease in number, and dandelions are even harder to find.

Chen Bufan led everyone to go deeper and found that the grass was becoming more and more sparse, while the flowers were becoming more and more luxuriant. The flowers in the outer area were an average of one meter tall, with thick stems and flower buds that were also one meter in size, like giant flowers.

Seeing such a huge flower, Chen Bufan was delighted. Where there are flowers, there will definitely be bees coming to collect nectar. At that time, as long as he follows the trail of the bees, wouldn’t he be able to find the beehive?

This also shows that their route is correct and they are getting closer and closer to the hive.

So he urged everyone to speed up, hoping to find the bees as soon as possible.

Because these mutated large flowers may have absorbed a large amount of nutrients, the nearby grass was not fully fed and was almost the same as usual, so there was no need to work hard to clear a path, and the walking speed was therefore much faster.

As he went deeper, Chen Bufan could no longer tell where exactly this place was.

All around him were covered with huge flowers that he had never seen before. Not only were there numerous flowers, but each one was so huge that it was jaw-dropping.

The deeper we went, the larger the flowers became, the more abundant the sunlight became, and the air was filled with the fragrance of various flowers, which were much stronger than before.

Chen Bufan looked up and saw that the surrounding trees were all forty or fifty meters high, but their crowns were slightly smaller than the outer trees. This allowed the sunlight to shine in unimpeded, allowing the flowers in this area to fully absorb the sunlight and grow to their heart's content.

The group walked slowly towards the depths, and every step made them feel smaller and smaller, because they had to look up to see the huge petals above their heads.

It turns out that the bees are collecting nectar here! These flowers are simply huge, each one is more than three meters tall and nearly three meters in diameter, like a giant umbrella.

The flower stem is even thicker than Chen Bufan's waist.

Just as Chen Bufan was immersed in the appreciation of these huge flowers and thinking about recording everything here and bringing it back to show his wives, a buzzing sound suddenly reached his ears.

"Stop!" Chen Bufan shouted vigilantly.

He stopped and listened; the buzzing sound seemed to be getting closer.

"It's the sound of bees!"

Chen Bufan's heart tightened, and he quickly turned his head left and right, carefully identifying the source of the sound.

After some searching, he finally determined the direction from which the sound came - to his right.

"This way!"

Chen Bufan led the special forces behind him and quickly shuttled under the huge flowers.

Chen Bufan ran out madly, and after running about a hundred meters, he finally stopped.

At this time, the buzzing sound in his ears was deafening and the sound was extremely dense.

He calmed himself, his eyes sharp, and cautiously stretched out his hands, gently pushing aside the huge flowers that were hanging down and blocking his view.

When he looked through the flowers and saw the scene before him, he was shocked!

What appeared before his eyes was a very large open space, whose shape was quite similar to a football field.

The surroundings of this open space are densely covered with huge flowers, like seats, which tightly surround the open space in the middle.

In the center of the open space, stands a beehive about 30 meters high and 100 meters wide. It is like a huge castle, majestic and solemn.

This beehive is completely different from ordinary beehives. Its surface is extremely smooth and its texture looks extremely hard. In the part close to the ground, there are dozens of holes that are two meters high and one meter wide. Countless worker bees go in and out of these holes.

From their movements, it can be seen that the part exposed on the surface is only a small part of the hive, and the real main body should be hidden underground.

At this moment, the bees that should have been busy collecting honey have completely lost their former diligence. They keep gathering at the entrance of the hive, crawling around anxiously, but they are not collecting honey, but fighting in groups!

A group of huge hornets, up to four meters long, were aggressively attacking the chubby bees and slaughtering them wantonly.

The claws of these hornets are extremely hard and sharp, and their jaws are steady, accurate and ruthless. Every attack can accurately cut a one-meter-long bee in two. In the blink of an eye, a pile of bee corpses has piled up under each hornet!

However, the bees were not intimidated by the hornets' ferocity. Instead, they showed amazing unity and tenacity. Despite facing such a powerful enemy, they did not retreat and fought desperately.

Chen Bufan has discovered that there are more than a dozen bees huddled together on the ground, and each bee in the group is flapping its wings desperately.

He immediately guessed that there must be a hornet trapped inside the group of bees, and these bees were obviously trying to burn the hornet to death in this way.

In addition, some bees behaved exceptionally bravely. After the mutation, they became even more crazy. They would rather be bitten to death by the hornet than pierce the stinger in their abdomen into the hornet's body in exchange for their own life.

Many hornets had several half-meter-long stingers stuck in their bodies. They fell to the ground and continued to struggle. They looked extremely painful and were waiting for death.

Chen Bufan watched intently, he didn't expect that he arrived at the right time and encountered two groups of old enemies fighting. This was a good opportunity, let them fight, the more miserable they fought, the more chances he would have to take advantage.

These hornets are very powerful and there are many of them. While they are slaughtering bees, they can also eat a few bites to replenish their energy. The mutated hornets are more suitable for killing enemies and are more successful than these mutated bees.

However, there were too many bees, and more and more bees kept rushing out of the hive to join the fight, making it difficult to determine the winner for a while.

Chen Bufan waited and waited, wishing he could go up and join the battle. The sound of the bees flapping their wings was so annoying, it made him feel dizzy.

It was not until two and a half hours later that the bee colony showed signs of decline. The dead bodies of the bees had piled up like a mountain outside. The huge open space was littered with bodies bitten in half, stacked in thick layers.

Not only were there fewer bees coming out of the hive, but many bees outside seemed to have received a signal and began to turn around and go back into the hive, apparently intending to retreat for defense.

When there were no more bees outside, the victorious hornets began to tear into the bodies of the bees, preparing to eat and restore their strength. There were not many of them left. There were originally dozens of them, but now there are only a dozen left.
