“Argh!” the scream resounded throughout the entire chamber when Ye Qingcheng finally returned to his sense.

He felt that his entire body was being torn apart from inside out, slowly torturing his body. Even in the smaller scale, his blood now started to give some strange force that only he knew about.

‘That’s why I proceed to give anyone that has my consciousness my power step by step, letting them nurtured it as they advance further with their power.’ The sound that came from the giant only sounded like a faint whisper.

Then, the bones completely grew. The new ones replacing the old and it also happened to the cell of Ye Qingcheng’s body. His blood now giving off a force that only he had and his body undergo a transformation.

“What is this feeling?” Ye Qingcheng could clearly see the situation outside just by relying on the feeling alone. He felt that he could see through the obstacles that blocked his view.

“That is..” finally, he saw that large amount of beasts roaming toward his location. He also saw the figure of his brother, stood before the very entrance to the deeper part of the hive.

As if sensing that he had looked to them, Ye Yingyuan turned his head and directly see to his direction. It was like Ye Yingyuan already realized that he watched him but he was not sure.

‘The first thing that change in my body is my sense. No, to be exact, it is my reaction towards my environment. At this rate, I can sense something that previously cannot be seen!’

Yes, Ye Qingcheng’s awakening also enhanced his sense as well as his body. In this state, he could feel everyone’s presence throughout the hive with just sensing the vibration or seeing it with his own eyes without the aid of his energy from his cultivation base.

And finally, when he looked downward, he saw two familiar figures stood before the entrance of the sealed place that Ye Qingcheng had heard from Theresa and Alice. He only knew that the sealed place contained an unimaginable item.

But when he tried to take back his sense, he felt that the process was halted by someone. He even panicked for a moment but when he saw that the person itself did not use that moment to strike back at him.

‘Your sense improve at an astonishing rate, right?’ it was actually the queen of the yellow bees, Theresa. She was the person that halted the probing from Ye Qingcheng’s sense but did not intend to harm him in any way.

‘Forgive my rudeness, Your Majesty!’ as soon as his sense was interrupted, Ye Qingcheng directly asked for forgiveness.

‘It’s fine but let me warn you, this area is not safe for the time being until both of them get out from there.’ Theresa now was sitting on her throne, channeling her energy to the entire hive, supplying it with abundant energy.

‘Fortunately that my bloodline came from another world otherwise the aura from your body alone is sufficient to turn us like those beasts out there.’ Theresa could look outside and saw the crowd.

‘So what are they doing down there?’ asked Ye Qingcheng.

‘An important matter of course. Since that involved the future of this forest’s inhabitant as well as the continent itself, you should not disturb them.’

“We’re getting down.” When Manstein saw the door, he almost sure that it was just a black layer of nothingness but upon close inspection, it was a large black seal.

‘Be careful, even with the additional power that came from the formation of the city, we will not be able to guarantee the result.’ The figure beside Manstein said with face full of worry and consideration.

“Oh, so what is that formation category belonged to?” there were many kinds of formation type depending on the usage and effectiveness of something. This what Manstein understood from the information that stored inside the device.

“The flexible ones, and also multipurpose. This is the formation that should not be underestimated just because it cannot go out of its effective range!” the figure said.

Truthfully, the multipurpose formation was harder to make. Add to the fact that the formation was also flexible, it could cause an unexpected moment to the person who just calculated it from one side of the formation.

“It’s really amazing, right? Just seeing it in action and everybody knows that it is a great formation.”

But there was something that bothered Manstein. What was the purpose of creating such formation in the city instead of any other places? He had known about the protection it can give but why would they place it above the city?

“Let’s enter it. Be careful not to touch anything other than the floor.” The figure reminded him.

“I still remember that, but this figure of yours is the problem. I mean, why would Senior Wang used this temporary vessel?” Manstein did not expect that from someone who currently in the faraway place could send their temporary vessel to accompany him.

“Oh, this is just a measurement of the item itself.” The figure was the vessel only without the soul. But it could move due to the intention from the very faraway place.

“So let’s enter this place. I also prepared the item that Alice mentioned earlier. Why did she so stern to warn me every single time!?”

They saw it with their own eyes that their prey probably inside the hive. Sadly, what they lacked was not strength but intelligence.

An arrow flew through the air with strong and fierce energy imbued in it. It instantly penetrated two beasts at once while they still charging towards the tree, trying to climb it.

Then another wave of arrows started to appear, raining down the beasts with successive shot often hit the target. But then the arrow rain stopped and this made them more frenzied than before. Their instinct tingling their limbs, making them wanted to move as quickly as possible to that nest.

“They still charging!” from the vantage point, Ye Xiaobai saw that those beasts were like a flood that came to their direction.

The most fortunate things that he possessed now was his eyesight as well as his skill in archery. He was able to hit a target from the distance of 500 meters without putting much effort. Not to mention the gravity force, the energy that he needed to nullify external force like wind, or the height between him and the target as well as the penetration power behind his shoot Ye Xiaobai could calculate it easily.

“Cousin, you’re great!” Ye Yingyuan admired in awe. His little mouth opened slightly to show his amazement.

“Not really.” Ye Xiaobai shook his head. Then he moved his left arm that held the bow to do something. A place that contained the arrow could be seen moving out from the bow, showing the empty space in it.

“I’m not that capable just like what you think. I can only shoot with such accuracy when the target is in the maximum range of seven hundred meters. Farther than that and my shoot will miss.”

That was the weakness Ye Xiaobai had. He could not hit the target more than seven hundred meters and the archery was one of his stronger point, such a pity. Fortunately, he also excelled in using the glaive thus he used both of them.

“Really? But why Cousin used one that good in range with the other one that good at middle-close range?” Ye Yingyuan asked in confusion. Seeing this made Ye Xiaobai grinned.

“Actually, this is the results from my training outside. You should go out of the city once in a while to see the wider world, this also includes your partner.” Said Ye Xiaobaifull of righteousness. But in his heart, he laughed sarcastically.

“What is the meaning of that!?” Ye Yingyuan protested.

“Eh, where is Li Ling?” when Ye Xiaobai noticed, he could not find her despite his stronger cultivation.

“Over here.” A faint sound came from behind Ye Yingyuan. This made the boy jumped instantly to the front! But seeing the person that greeted him were not an enemy, he relaxed his body.

The person that they were looking for now appeared before them in a surprising manner. This made Ye Yingyuan shoo his head. He tried to hide his embarrassment from forgetting use the power of nature itself to find her.

When Li Ling saw that both of them were stunned, she giggled which added their confusion.

“I’m sorry. I just go back and asking for the beeknight to prepare for their position. And I make them do as I told them, I hope that something doesn't really come to the worst.” in Li Ling’s eyes, there was a certain worry that made her feel restless.

“Ok, then could you two lend me some hand?” Ye Xiaobai asked seriously as he loaded the part where the previously empty space with arrows, returning it to the bow and took a stance to shoot at the beast.

‘Most of them that appeared now is equivalent to late-stage Qi Condensation. If any of those that stronger than this wave appears then I can’t hold them off for much longer.’ Thought Ye Xiaobai.

“Leave the frontline to me!” Ye Yingyuan summoned his sword. He bound the chain that connected the sword to his right arm before he swung it and releasing the sword, increasing the range of the sword to reach the opponent!

“Be careful not to get out from the hive, they said that the hive has a defensive system that allowed them to stand still until present day!” Ye Xiaobai then took his leave to the higher position. The outer hive itself had many levels to watch the situation outside.

Ye Xiaobai used the building’s terrain and structure to his advantage, obtaining the high ground for him to watch the movement of the beast’s horde.

Then there was also Ye Yingyuan. He now faced a spider with its needle-like legs stepped forward, gaining the initiate to strike first.

Then it let out a black liquid when their distance became no more than ten feet, surprising Ye Yingyuan. He reflexively used the sword to parry it but when it touched the sword, the surface of the metal started to corrode!

“Oh my bad!” seeing his sword’s surface turned color made him knew that the liquid could at least corrode the metal and even the layer of qi protecting it.

Then all of a sudden, an energy slash came down. It slashed off one of the spider’s leg before the spider evaded the slash and retreated backward.

“We better move back. The frontline is going to be isolated and the barrier to defend the hive will be activated.” Li Ling came to Ye Yingyuan.

“Alright, we will step back from this point. But if we just defend and not attacking, we will certainly lose. How are we going to deal this?” this was what Ye Yingyuan worried about. They were the ones that were surrounded and if they just defending, they would lose sooner or later.

“Did you forget what Her Majesty had said?” Li Ling reminds Ye Yingyuan to the case that the hive was surrounded, it can be moved to other location.

“But my brother is not completely awakened yet! The energy to move is to completely use the reserve that is stored inside the hive. If it is divided to defend and to support my brother then it can’t be done.” Ye Yingyuan said.

“I can only say that as long as my brother completely awake, transforming from his previous self then we can safely move.” Stated Ye Yingyuan.

‘I hope that you are successful, brother!’

-

At the moment, a roar filled with pain and suffering came from the chamber. Ye Qingcheng held his head, trying to reduce just a bit of the pain. Anything that he did was to alleviate the pain that came from his head.

‘I still....underestimated this.’

After the bone marrow transformation that followed by the change in his blood as well as the strengthening of his body, now it was the time to change his brain!

‘The blood now flowed through your brain’s blood artery, slowly changing and transforming your brain cell one by one. The sense that you gained before is the proof of the transformation of your nerve system and now it also spread to your very brain.’

This was the reminder from Theresa before she had to focus her attention on the defensive mechanism inside the hive.

‘Let me see through to the end of this!’ despite the new eye-opening pain that he felt, but his will was not to be underestimated. Several drops of blood flowed came from his head, like a fountain that showered from inside out.

As the pain became stronger, the aura that Ye Qingcheng released also grew with it. And the growing aura now could be felt by those beasts, instantly turned them into a frenzied crowd!

“Cousin, get over here quick!” Ye Yingyuan saw Ye Xiaobai flying low to his direction with several beasts following behind him. Only Ye Xiaobai was still not entering the defensive barrier zone before activation and if he were just late for a moment, he would not be able to enter!

Then a silhouette approached Ye Xiaobai, intending to take him down.
