Chapter 465 The Battle in the Night
The Black Forest at night was never peaceful.
Unpredictable hazards hid everywhere in the silent and ghostly darkness.
There were forest beasts that went hunting under cover of night, bloodsucking vines that hid among ordinary vines, acid swamps that looked like grass but were actually the homes of Ghost Nannies, and ferocious predators that wandered in the depths of the forest like phantoms.
Including all of the rumored corruptors, monsters, and magical beasts would give you a genuinely primal world with a variety of resources and species– the Black Forest.
Sixty kilometers to the north of Fire Throne was land owned by the Aba Beemen.
It was deep into the night, yet his place was still bustling with activity and a particular sort of urgency.
Squads of beeman soldiers holding poison-tipped spears and arrows beat their wings and moved between the trees. Many of them were also carrying in their hands the prey they had hunted. Most of them were ordinary forest creatures such as goats, wolves, and apes. Once in a while, one would also see berserk apes, Otyughs, and human mercenaries in their grasp.
The eight beeman soldiers became even more excited. They quickly closed-in while firing even more arrows at the apprentice. When they were within ten steps of the hooded figure, they tossed aside their bows and charged at the enemy with forked spears in hand.
The black-robed human suddenly unleashed a strange bug’s screech when all eight spears dug into their body. The human’s body exploded into a sky full of black beetles, instantly drowning the eight beeman soldiers in a terrifying tide of insects.
It was the first time the beeman soldiers had ever faced such a terrifying retaliation. They screamed and tried to get back on their feet, but they were covered in a layer of black beetles. Their faces, heads, bodies, feet, and even their semi-translucent wings were crawling with these strange insects.
What frightened them more was that strange chattering sound of silkworms feasting on mulberry leaves, and the intense pain from every part of their body.
A few stronger beemen barely managed to fly by flapping their wings. However, their vision was obscured, causing them to fall to the ground after crashing into branches.
The beeman soldiers struggled and frantically fought back. Many black, bean-sized beetles were crushed into a paste or reduced to pools of black liquid by poison. However, their remaining numbers were still enough to kill these eight unfortunate victims with no magical abilities.
Soon, the forest regained its peace.
Only chilling crunching sound remained in the silent Black Forest.
A short moment later, the black beetles gathered together after their feast. They once again reformed into the appearance of Billis.
The apprentice adept that had just experienced glorious victory in his first battle stood in the pool of blood on the ground. He silently savored the comfortable feeling of sweet blood coursing through his body.
The Aba Beemen were a type of magical creatures, but their appearances were a combination of elves and bees. They were humanoid magical creatures. In the past, Billis’ personality would never have allowed him to conduct such a cruel act as devouring the enemy alive.
However, after he had assimilated the Queen Bug, all of this seemed to be a matter of fact for him. He was indifferent to it all!
This place is the world of my goals!
Greem had always suppressed Billis’ violent and bloodthirsty nature after his successful assimilation. Even though Billis had enjoyed plenty of snacks in secret before this, those weak humans couldn’t provide him with much energy needed for evolution.
In comparison, the magical creatures soaked in elementium power were the most suitable food for him!
Those sweet and delicious human apprentices were also walking delicacies. However, Master Greem had given him strict orders. He was not to eat adepts or apprentices without permission. That was why Billis had to suppress his impulse to hunt in the tower. He followed his master’s guidance and came here to look for the Aba Beemen.
Once he had finished eating, Billis pushed into the depths of the forest with heavy and shambling footsteps. A swarm of bugs followed closely behind him like loyal hunting hounds, sweeping the bits and pieces of flesh left on the ground along with them.
Billis had only barely completed the evolution of his body of bugs. He now possessed an immortal body of bugs, but he had yet to cultivate a single combat beetle. His current self was undoubtedly frail. He could only turn around and run if he ran into those powerful magical creature leaders.
That was why it was time for him to find a place to create his bug’s nest!
