Chapter 297 - 296: Annihilating the Swamp Poison Bees
The forty-meter-long Swamp Black Serpent let out a wretched scream. Its massive body coiled tightly around the Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile, constricting with frenzied power. This was its ultimate move against colossal creatures; even a super Swamp Giant Crocodile would struggle to withstand its crushing grip.
The Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile’s muscles bulged, and it easily resisted the Swamp Black Serpent’s constriction. Its three crocodilian heads tore savagely at the giant Swamp Black Serpent’s neck.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere. Within a few breaths, the giant Swamp Black Serpent, which had been exuding the Spiritual Pressure of a Grandmaster at his Peak, had its head bitten off by the Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile and fell to the ground.
Once the forty-meter-long giant Swamp Black Serpent—one that was on the verge of transforming into a flood dragon—was dead, the remaining Swamp Black Serpents scattered in an instant, burrowing into the rotting swamp and disappearing from sight.
Burrowing into the swamp was the most effective escape method for these swamp creatures. Even most Spirit Saint Level experts were powerless against creatures that had burrowed into the muck.
Shu Feng could have ordered the Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile and the Swamp Five-headed Serpent to hunt down the other Swamp Black Serpents, but there was little point in doing so.
Shu Feng collected the corpses of the several dozen Swamp Black Serpents into his Base Space and continued heading northwest.
After advancing another ten or so *li*, a dense, twisted, and bizarre forest of black trees appeared before Shu Feng.
BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!
A droning sound arose as countless fist-sized, pitch-black Swamp Poison Bees with sharp stingers formed a dark cloud and swept toward Shu Feng.
"Swamp Poison Bees!!"
Shu Feng’s expression changed slightly at the sight of the dense swarm of Swamp Poison Bees, which was so thick it nearly blotted out the sky.
The Swamp Poison Bees were naturally powerless against terrifying monsters with astonishing Defense Power, like the thick-skinned Swamp Five-headed Serpent and the Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile. Against a creature like a human, however, even an expert in the Spirit Venerable Realm couldn’t withstand their stings.
No-fly Zone!
When the dense cloud of Swamp Poison Bees was just a hundred meters from Shu Feng, a glint flashed in the eyes of one of the Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile’s heads as it activated its No-fly Zone.
The swarm of Swamp Poison Bees immediately fell from the sky like rain into the swamp below. They became stuck in the rotten mud and were slowly pulled down to the bottom.
’The No-fly Zone is really effective in this swamp!’
A slight smile touched the corners of Shu Feng’s mouth. His eyes flashed with fervor as he looked at the bizarrely shaped, twisted trees in the forest, and he ordered the Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile to move toward it.
Upon entering the dense forest, Shu Feng saw Swamp Poison Bee hives of all sizes hanging from the large trees.
Countless more Swamp Poison Bees poured out from the hives and flew toward Shu Feng.
No-fly Zone!
The Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile activated its No-fly Zone again, and a mysterious ripple washed over the Swamp Poison Bees.
The dense swarm of Swamp Poison Bees immediately plummeted from the sky and fell to the ground.
’This is awesome! Wiping out a huge swarm in one shot!’
A smile flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes as he watched the falling Swamp Poison Bees—the very same creatures that would make ordinary Spiritualists flee in terror.
The approaching Swamp Poison Bees numbered in the tens of thousands. With a single use of its No-fly Zone, the Swamp Three-headed Dragon Crocodile caused hundreds of thousands of them to fall into the swamp and be killed instantly.
Each Swamp Poison Bee only provided 0.05 points of Soul Power, but the Soul Power from hundreds of thousands of them was no small amount.
’I’ve struck it rich this time!’
Shu Feng’s gaze fell upon the lychee-sized, purple fruits growing on the bizarre, twisted trees, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes.
Those lychee-sized purple fruits were Mire Dragon Fruits, a type of Profound Level Treasure of Heaven and Earth rarely seen in the outside world.
The Swamp Poison Bees fed on the Mire Dragon Fruits and would also attack any swamp monster that approached them. Many monsters were lured by the fruits, only to be stung to death and become food for the bees.
Mire Dragon Fruits were always guarded by Swamp Poison Bees, which was why they were so rare.
Of course, some scattered Mire Dragon Fruit Trees also grew on the outskirts of the Mire Dragon Marsh. Swamp creatures like Swamp Flying Birds and Swamp Poison Frogs would also peck at the Mire Dragon Fruits. If they were carelessly hunted by Lizardmen or humans, those lucky hunters could obtain Mire Dragon Fruits worth a billion.
’These Swamp Poison Bees would also make excellent Warriors!’
With a wave of his hand, Shu Feng summoned his Spirit Master Level Blood Demons and twenty newly synthesized Swamp Three-headed Serpents, ordering them to retrieve the hives from the trees.
Inside each hive was a Poisonous Bee Queen, five times larger than an ordinary Swamp Poison Bee. After being captured alive, each Poisonous Bee Queen was thrown into Shu Feng’s Warrior Synthesis Nest for modification.
After Shu Feng modified them, the Poisonous Bee Queens became his subordinates. Supplied with nutrients, they began to birth new Swamp Poison Bees.
Shu Feng also synthesized several thousand Swamp Poison Bees to act as guards for the Poisonous Bee Queens, then harvested half of the Mire Dragon Fruits in the forest—about two thousand of them.
The remaining Mire Dragon Fruits were left as food for the Poisonous Bee Queens and as bait to attract other swamp monsters.
If he could sell all two thousand of these Mire Dragon Fruits, they would fetch an astronomical price of over four trillion.
Of course, releasing two thousand Mire Dragon Fruits at once would absolutely crash the market for this Profound Level Treasure of Heaven and Earth. Shu Feng planned to sell a portion of them slowly and use the rest himself.
After passing through the part of the swamp occupied by the Swamp Poison Bees, Shu Feng continued heading northwest.
"What a massive Bone Mountain! This is a monster!! The skeleton of a monster two hundred meters long!"
After advancing another ten kilometers, the skeleton of a giant beast appeared before Shu Feng. It was over two hundred meters long and fifty meters tall, an aged, dark-gold color, with four legs and two giant claws. It radiated a terrifying pressure that made him feel uneasy.
’This is the legendary overlord of the Mire Dragon Swamp, the Mire Dragon Lord—a terrifying Spirit Saint Level monster. I can’t believe it actually existed. And this Mire Dragon Lord... it’s clearly not just Spirit Saint Level, but a terrifying monster above the Spirit Saints—a Demigod Level creature!’
Shu Feng’s eyes flashed with excitement as he stared at the monster’s skeleton.
The corpse of a Demigod Level monster was absolutely priceless. Moreover, Shu Feng could obtain the Mire Dragon Lord’s genes, enriching his own gene library and allowing him to synthesize even more powerful monsters in the future.
Suddenly, the ground near the giant beast’s skeleton began to tremble. A dense horde of monsters, each over thirty meters long, charged directly at Shu Feng. They were covered in black Scale Armor, had two arms, four legs, and serpentine heads filled with jagged, beast-like teeth, their eyes glowing with a ferocious light.
