ALL NOVEL Chapter 62: Danger
Facing his second soul skill, Su Luoheng was momentarily stunned.
Uh...
'How should I describe it?'
His second soul skill truly inherited the excellent characteristics of his first soul skill perfectly!
Not to mention that the type of soul skill provided by the soul beast he chose was completely different; it could be said that there was no connection whatsoever! Yes, not even the slightest hint of relevance could be found!
"..."
Seeing the change in Su Luoheng's expression, Ran Yuming had already anticipated this.
It seemed that this second soul skill was not quite satisfactory.
With a soft sigh, Ran Yuming proactively shifted the topic and asked, "Luoheng, has your first soul skill improved?"
Su Luoheng regained his senses and nodded, "Yes, it has improved. Now, my analysis detection range has increased by one level. Ordinary soul guiding devices can reach level three, and sword-type soul guiding devices can definitely reach level four. The specific limits of my first soul skill still need to be tested to know."
"Great! Just as we expected!"
Upon hearing this, a look of excitement appeared on Ran Yuming's face, and he couldn't help but burst into loud laughter. The first soul skill was Su Luoheng's strongest talent; as long as it could improve, that was the best news. As for the second soul skill he had just obtained, its quality no longer mattered.
"As for my second soul skill..."
Just as Su Luoheng was thinking about how to explain his second soul skill, he was interrupted by Ran Yuming.
"It's okay, Luoheng."
Ran Yuming stepped forward and patted Su Luoheng's shoulder, actively comforting him. "Although the result of the second soul skill might not be ideal, as long as the first soul skill can evolve, it won't matter. Besides, the second soul ring is still a millennium soul ring; no matter how bad it is, it shouldn't be too far off."
Upon hearing this, Su Luoheng was slightly taken aback.
Then he suddenly understood: his teacher must have mistakenly thought that his second soul skill was not satisfactory.
"Teacher, actually my second soul skill..."
"Buzz buzz buzz—buzz buzz buzz—"
Just as Su Luoheng was about to clarify his second soul skill, a series of urgent, dense buzzing sounds suddenly approached rapidly from afar!
"What is that...? Huh?!"
Hearing the sound, Ran Yuming turned his head and squinted his eyes to look.
In the distance, a swarm of bees was rushing toward them, densely packed. He frowned slightly, feeling that it was a bit troublesome. However, when his gaze focused on the central figure surrounded by the swarm—a giant bee about half a meter long—Ran Yuming's eyes flashed with a hint of wariness, and his expression instantly became serious!
"..."
Su Luoheng also noticed and exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher, is that a Blood Flame Bee? Why is the one in the middle so much larger? Is it the millennium one?"
He shook his head, his eyes fixed on the giant bee. "That's not a millennium one; it's the Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Flame Bee Queen!"
"Ten... Ten-Thousand-Year Bee Queen?!"
Su Luoheng was taken aback and couldn't help but look again.
At the same moment, the giant Blood Flame Bee glared at the two of them with its blood-red eyes!
It was a case of a grudge between old enemies, and the sight of them made it furious!
It was the one that had destroyed his nest when he went out and killed the companion he had left in the cave!
As soon as he saw the Ten-Thousand-Year Bee Queen appear, Ran Yuming finally understood why the royal jelly and the hive on the treetop were so special, far surpassing ordinary millennium royal jelly. It turned out that it wasn't just a millennium hive, but rather a ten-thousand-year hive composed of two hives!
That was why the effects of the royal jelly were so powerful.
As for the Bee Queen he had slain in the hive, it was likely a subordinate of this one, and now the true master had come looking for revenge!
A Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Flame Bee Queen along with a swarm of thousands of bees was indeed a bit tricky for Ran Yuming, but he could still manage to cope with it.
But Su Luoheng couldn't.
Not to mention the Ten-Thousand-Year Bee Queen—even a sting from an ordinary bee would be too much for him.
After a moment of hesitation, he made a decision: he would lure all the bees away on his own.
Su Luoheng also understood that his presence would distract his teacher, so he did not object to his decision.
Taking advantage of the fact that the swarm still had some distance to cover, Ran Yuming took out a large number of soul-guiding devices for self-defense, including the Breath Concealing Soul Guiding Device and three bottles of royal jelly, just in case. He carefully explained how to use these devices.
"Luoheng, protect yourself!"
"Once I've dealt with them, I'll come find you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ran Yuming went all out, engaging the swarm in the first round of combat: dozens of long-range soul-guiding devices on his body simultaneously fired, releasing countless energy beams toward the swarm.
Facing the massive Blood Flame Bee swarm, Ran Yuming fought as he retreated.
In an instant, the entire forest was illuminated by the beams, turning it as bright as day, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.
"..."
After the swarm of Blood Flame Bees had completely left, the forest returned to its original calm.
A quarter of an hour later.
Su Luoheng's figure reappeared at the original spot.
The swarm had moved too quickly for him to retreat in time, so he took advantage of Ran Yuming's interception, found a concealed spot, and activated the Breath Concealing Soul Guiding Device.
This way, the ordinary Blood Flame Bees naturally couldn't detect him.
And since the Ten-Thousand-Year Bee Queen's attention was entirely on Ran Yuming, it wouldn't notice him hiding. So Su Luoheng stayed hidden, and to be safe, he waited until the bees had all left before revealing himself.
Looking in the direction Ran Yuming had gone, Su Luoheng thought to himself: 'I hope teacher can shake them off quickly.'
He had absolute confidence in his teacher's abilities; after all, soul engineers excelled at group battles!
He then activated the Breath Concealing Soul Guiding Device again and began moving toward the outskirts of the Jingyang Mountains.
This was the route he had previously discussed with his teacher.
As long as he was cautious with the Breath Concealing Soul Guiding Device, there shouldn't be any issues.
Once he escaped the predicament, he would leave the Jingyang Mountains, and after evading the Blood Flame Bees, Ran Yuming would follow the tracking signal on Su Luoheng's Breath Concealing Soul Guiding Device to catch up. Unless the device was damaged, Ran Yuming would definitely find him.
Soon, Su Luoheng had already left the forest.
…
…
Jingyang Mountains, southern side.
As Su Luoheng was making his way, he suddenly stopped.
"Awroo—awroo—"
Following the direction of the howls, he saw a golden wolf over a meter long howling up at the sky. Before long, a pack of golden wolves appeared, adding up to five in total, including the one that had howled earlier. The leader, judging by its appearance, was around 700 years old, while the others were roughly 500 years old.
At this moment, they had formed a circle, surrounding a black lump in the center.
Su Luoheng narrowed his eyes and carefully observed.
It seemed that the thing... looked like a person?
