What surprised Feng Wu even more was that the hive of the Large-Horned Blood Bees was within sight, not far away!
Feng Wu's previously extinguished hope was instantly reignited, blazing fiercely in her heart!
The Large-Horned Bee Queen... an unguarded Large-Horned Bee Queen right now!
Feng Wu knew very well that fortune favors the bold and opportunities wait for no one! If she missed this chance, she would never find another!
"Fortune is found in danger!" Feng Wu made up her mind in an instant. She was determined to have this Large-Horned Bee Queen!
Feng Wu's agile body darted through the branches like a dainty civet cat. Although she lacked spiritual cultivation, her physical conditioning was extraordinary, and she quickly circled around to the side of the hive!
As she had walked earlier, Feng Wu had been tying knots in a tree branch, so by the time she stood in front of the hive, she already had a hook-shaped wooden tool in her hand!
Before she could even blink, she thrust the long hook straight into the hive!
The next second, a sharp, ear-piercing scream echoed across the heavens and earth!
It was the sound of the Large-Horned Bee Queen summoning her subjects!
Without a second to spare, Feng Wu tossed the Large-Horned Bee Queen straight into the Dragon-Phoenix Spiritual Realm, while simultaneously shooting off like lightning in one direction!
Holding her breath and treading lightly, Feng Wu hunched over and sprinted through the jungle.
Almost there, almost there. She would soon dash out of the Large-Horned Blood Bees' active territory.
Just as Feng Wu was about to let out a sigh of relief, a jaunty voice suddenly rang out behind her.
"Oh, little girl, you're here too? What a coincidence!"
That voice—she knew it all too well!
Feng Wu instinctively turned her head and caught sight of him: Feng Xun.
The youth had deep, sharp facial features, refined and handsome looks, high-spirited brows, and a bright, cheerful smile like the midday sun that instantly lifted anyone's mood.
Yet Feng Wu could not manage a smile at all right now.
Following closely behind Feng Xun was a dense, endless swarm of Large-Horned Blood Bees—thousands upon thousands of them, stretching as far as the eye could see in a dark, oppressive blanket!
The buzzing sound was coming from right behind him.
So the person who had drawn away the swarm of Large-Horned Blood Bees earlier was Feng Xun!
She had gone to great lengths to avoid the swarm and stealthily steal the Large-Horned Bee Queen... and now Feng Xun had led the entire hive right back to her!
They would smell the scent of the bee queen lingering on her!
At that thought, Feng Wu's face turned green instantly!
Feigning ignorance of who he was, she sprinted forward at lightning speed!
*Don't come over, don't come over, please for the love of god don't come over, buddy!* Feng Wu screamed inwardly, hoping Feng Xun could hear the frantic cry in her heart.
However, Feng Xun was hardly telepathic with her. Happily leading a cohort of Large-Horned Blood Bees, he enthusiastically charged toward Feng Wu, calling out, "Little girl, so you're not dead? I thought for sure you'd kicked the bucket."
Feng Wu: "..."
How could she dare to stop? She immediately broke into a frantic run!
Feng Xun shouted from behind her, "Little girl, what are you running for? Wait for me!"
As he shouted, he reached out to grab Feng Wu.
Right at that moment, the swarm of Large-Horned Blood Bees trailing behind Feng Xun suddenly plunged into a frenzy, growing wildly agitated and emitting a continuous, deafening buzz!
The Large-Horned Blood Bees that had been swarming around Feng Xun instantly pivoted toward Feng Wu with murderous intent!
Every hair on Feng Wu's body stood on end!
It was over... the theft of the bee queen had definitely been discovered!
She was—completely—doomed!
At this, Feng Wu glared furiously at Feng Xun.
Feng Xun looked completely baffled by her glare. "What's wrong? Is something wrong with your eye? Why is it twitching?"
*Twitching? I'd like to throttle you instead!* Feng Wu's world was collapsing inside; she could have easily escaped if Feng Xun hadn't grabbed her...
