The others in the Kasyapa Empire were shocked by this news, although they didn't know why Kasen could control the queen bee, but these people also understood that once the queen bee died, the bee colony would no longer be under Kasen's control, and this bee colony was one of the trump cards of the Kasyapa Empire!
"Damn it!" Kasen's fist heavily hit the wall, then his face turned serious and cold, who among those two people could kill the Queen Bee!
"Your Highness, the strength of that Bee King is... at the level of a ruler..." A warrior whispered softly, Garsen's face sank, and everyone else who heard it had a look of despair. A Bee King with the strength of a ruler! If such strength could be exterminated, did these two from the Kalan Empire already possess the strength of a ruler?!
"These two must be gotten rid of! No matter what means are used!" Kasen's teeth-gnashing whisper, the three people around him were all tense, one person swallowed a mouthful of water and carefully opened his mouth, "Your Highness, relying on our few people joining hands, against them it seems..."
"If the bright way doesn't work, then come the dark way! These two people can't stay! If they grow at their current rate, Kalan will become a threat to Kalya!" Kasen gritted his teeth and spat out another sentence. The Kalya Empire was currently the only empire with summoners, and among the four major empires on the Eastern Continent, it had a subtle edge as the strongest, although the power of the four major empires was basically balanced, but Kalya had its own unique advantages.
Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi's current strength level has already made them both front-row talents, and once they grow up, they will be a hidden danger and threat to Jia Ye, let alone the other three empires. It is natural to eliminate them as soon as possible!
Kason stopped talking, his eyes fixed intently on the swarm of bees in front of him that were still buzzing. Without the queen bee, the swarm did not disperse immediately and instead remained surrounding him, but they seemed more scattered and their attacking power was greatly reduced. Kason narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering who had killed the queen bee. He must be the first to let this person die in this maze! As he thought about the thing inside his spatial storage container, a faint smile spread across Kason's face.
This space had a slight tremor again, emitting invisible ripples. After this slight tremor, Yun Feng's figure appeared in front of several people once more. When Yun Feng came out, countless things suddenly fell to the ground beside her, making a crackling sound. The few people standing far away and watching couldn't help but stretch their necks to take a look, and a wave of nausea rose up in their hearts. What had fallen to the ground was a piece of charred black stuff - they were the burnt corpses of the demonic bees, like pieces of charcoal, densely scattered all over the ground.
After Yun Feng came out, he saw a still considerable number of bees, but the bee swarm's aggression was not as strong as before. "The leader of the bee swarm seems to have been taken down..." Yun Feng muttered to himself. Without their queen, the bee swarm had lost all its threat, and some of the magic bees were flying about in disarray. The fire element in Yun Feng's hand flashed out, targeting the bee swarm. "Fire Arrow!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." The fire arrows continuously charged into the swarm of bees, and the already scattered bees were immediately blown apart by the fire arrows. Some demonic bees fled in disarray, and before long, the dense swarm of bees that had been there just a moment ago was almost completely gone, with all the demonic bees scattering in all directions.
"Qu Lan Yi, are you okay?!" After the bees dispersed, Yun Feng finally saw Qu Lan Yi standing at the deepest part of where the bees were earlier. Only after the bees scattered did Yun Feng see her, and she quickly walked over to her. She had actually charged into the swarm alone, which was quite reckless!
Qū Lán Yī heard Yún Fēng's voice, slightly turned around, smiled at Yún Fēng and pulled her into his arms, "Little Feng is worried about me?"
Yun Feng's body moved slightly, about to retreat, when Qu Lan Yi quickly leaned in close to Yun Feng's ear and whispered, "This is just the queen bee, it seems like someone has tampered with it." Qu Lan Yi brought his other hand closer, and in his palm lay a small, completely black magic bee that was quietly lying still. Although it had already died, it still emitted a faint aura of pressure.
Yun Feng's eyebrows furrowed tightly, his gaze quickly scanning the queen bee's body. The black body, hard shell, suddenly, Yun Feng discovered some unusual marks on the queen bee's abdomen, a small circle of tiny prints. Yun Feng slightly narrowed his eyes.
"Xiao Feng, what's going on?" Qu Lan asked in a low voice. Yun Feng was about to speak when Qu Lan quickly hid the queen bee in her hand, and it instantly disappeared from sight. "Thanks to both of you," Jia Sen's voice came over. Yun Feng looked up to see Jia Sen and three others walking towards them. Although Jia Sen thanked them, his tone was icy, but Yun Feng didn't mind, not taking offense at his insincere gratitude.
"It's all the same, I'm just making it convenient for myself." Yun Feng said lightly, not giving Kasen a good face. Kasen's expression stiffened slightly, and his gaze swept down to the ground. Several people were like this. Qu Lan Yi saw it and raised a faint smile. "What are you looking for? Could it be that you dropped something while escaping?"
Kasen and the other three people heard it and stiffened, Kasen twitched the corner of his mouth, "Indeed something fell down, but it's not important anyway."
Yun Feng glanced at a few people lightly, grabbed Qu Lan's wrist and walked forward. Jia Sen saw them and immediately spoke up, "Since we've met, why not walk together?"
Yun Feng walked ahead without responding, while Qu Lan Yi had a smiling expression as she looked at Yun Feng's hand grasping her wrist, seemingly enjoying it. Yun Feng suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Jia Sen, "In that case, let's do it together."
Kasen smiled, Yun Feng and Qu Lan Yi walked behind him, Kasen and the other three followed behind them. The contestants from two different empires walked together like this, naturally both sides had their own thoughts in mind. Qu Lan Yi walked beside Yun Feng and said in a low voice, "Why do we have to walk with them? Is Little Feng thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to get rid of them?"
Yun Feng didn't respond, suddenly whispering to Qu Lan Yi, "Hold on tight." Qu Lan Yi was taken aback, then tightly grasped Yun Feng's palm. Yun Feng's body shot forward like an arrow, suddenly accelerating into the distance, and in an instant, he vanished from sight. Jia Sen and the three people behind him were shocked, their eyes widening in unison!
"Your Highness, they've escaped!"
Kasen's mouth curled up in a cold smile. "Run? They can't run out of my palm, we'll catch up!"
Yun Feng, wearing a qing blue dress, ran quickly forward, passing at least three intersections. Yun Feng changed direction randomly, always paying attention to the movement behind her. After observing for a while, Yun Feng suddenly stopped in place with Qing Lianyi. Qing Lianyi smiled and naturally grasped Yun Feng's palm, holding her hand in his own. "What's wrong?"
Yun Feng glanced at Qu Lan Yi, withdrew his hand abruptly, and looked in the direction they had been running wildly, with a few flashes of light in his eyes. "They've caught up after all."
Qu Lanyi subtly sensed it and also discovered the few people chasing after them, Qu Lanyi and Yun Feng exchanged a smile, both of them saw the cunning in each other's eyes. Since they were able to chase over with such skill, naturally they had to figure out what this skill was, then snatch... it away!
The two of them stood there with a tacit understanding, and sure enough, before long, Kasen and the other three people all rushed over in this direction. Seeing the two people standing still on the spot, Kasen forced a smile, while Yun Feng's clear eyes looked at him, "The several of you from the Kasen Empire are really accurate in choosing your direction."
Kasen and the other three forced a smile, "Didn't you two say you'd walk together? How come earlier..."
"It's nothing, I just wanted to hurry up a bit earlier so that I can meet up with the others in Kalan sooner." Yun Feng paused for a few seconds, "But I forgot, it's not easy to run into each other."
Kasen sneered to himself, it's better that they didn't bump into each other, it's more convenient for us to make a move. If Kasen and his group had bumped into Kasha's gang, they would probably have started fighting directly. However, the strength of Qu Lanyi and Yun Feng was above theirs, even if several of them joined forces, they wouldn't be able to gain any advantage. The two didn't take the initiative to attack, which means they still have a chance, as long as he finds the right opportunity...
Kasen was mentally calculating his next move, while Yun Feng was secretly sizing him up. Kasen didn't seem to be wearing anything on his body, so it seemed that the thing or method that could confirm their location must be inside the spatial container, and this spatial container should have been hidden by Kasen.
It seems that the fox needs to take the initiative, Yun Feng thought to herself. Although they can be forced out now, the location of her brothers is not easy to find. If there's a way to determine their position, it won't be too late later on. And then there's the queen bee that was manipulated... she wants to get to the bottom of all this.
"Come on, Xiao Feng," Qu Lan Yi winked at Yun Feng, and the two continued to walk ahead. "There's nothing suspicious on any of the others."
Qū Lán Yī whispered a sentence, and Yún Fēng nodded. They would be traveling with this group for a while, and the Jiā Yè Empire wasn't exactly benevolent either. Naturally, Yún Fēng wasn't a good person either. With boldness, Yún Fēng and Qū Lán Yī turned their backs to these people, not worrying about being ambushed in the slightest. In her heart, Yún Fēng also had a number, and Jiā Yè's people might not have the guts to ambush them either.
Kasen and several others didn't have the idea of launching a sneak attack, they also knew their own strength. Several people were quietly following behind, "Your Highness, when are we going to make our move?" A warrior asked in a low voice. Kasen thought for a moment, "What's the hurry! Haven't you heard the saying 'a small concession can ruin a big plan'?"
"But Your Highness, if we keep stalling with these two people, our plan..." The female magician spoke up anxiously from the side. Kasen's face sank, originally they had planned to use the bee swarm to force everyone out, but unexpectedly the queen bee was dead! Moreover, he hadn't had time to retrieve the queen bee's corpse earlier, and now Kasen's heart skipped a few beats thinking about it, hopefully the queen bee's corpse wouldn't arouse any suspicion... these two also wouldn't discover anything...
"Yes, Your Highness, there are still two months..." someone whispered, Kasen gritted his teeth, naturally he couldn't keep dragging things out with these two people, if all else failed, he could only take a desperate gamble!
Xiao Huo and Lan Yi kept conveying the situation on that side to Yun Feng's mind, as long as one of them didn't disappear, this mental transmission existed. The group of people over there were all safe, only their location couldn't be determined. Yun Feng also told Xiao Huo and Lan Yi that he was fine, instructing them to protect Gege well, with those two magical beasts by Yun Xiang's side, there really wouldn't be any worries.
Yun Feng has been traveling with the four people from the Jia Ye Empire for nearly half a month, and both sides seem to be competing in patience. Yun Feng is not impatient at all, wanting to let the fox reveal its tail, naturally having to be more cunning and calm than the fox. In this half-month period, Yun Feng also figured out some things, such as the scar on the abdomen of the Bee King, which looked very familiar.
During the break, Qu Lanyi also asked about the Queen Bee, Yun Feng just smiled and said, "That is the Summoner's Contract Array."
Qū Lán Yī was slightly surprised, "That Jia Sen, is actually a summoner?"
Yun Feng shook his head, "With his personality, if he were a summoner, wouldn't he be wearing the Contract Ring? Moreover, if this queen bee was his contract demon beast, the Contract Array would absolutely not appear on the body of the contract demon beast."
"But it's clear that this queen bee is his only move, and the only thing that can connect with everything of the summoner is the Empire of Kalos."
Yun Feng nodded, "Indeed, although I don't know how he controlled the Queen Bee, it's definitely related to this Contract Array. If my guess is correct, this Contract Array should be from that Summoner of the Kalpa Empire. The Contract Array was imprinted on the magical beast's body, can others also control the magical beast through this?"
"The Kaye Empire has indeed made sufficient preparations, and that summoner must have also paid a heavy price." Qu Lan's lips curled up into a slightly sarcastic smile as his gaze swept over the few people from the Kaye Empire not far away.
"The queen bee is dead. This move was accidentally broken by us, and he must be very resentful in his heart. He followed us to find an opportunity to strike at us, and he still has a trump card in his hand."
"Will it be the same trick?" Qu Lan's beautiful eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in her eyes. Yun Feng smiled, "If that's the case, then I'll gain some experience."
Qū Lán Yī hooked up the lip, the people of Jia Ye Empire were destined to lose. In front of a true summoner, these small tricks were somewhat self-proclaimed cleverness.
"Little guy." The voice of his ancestor echoed in Yun Feng's mind, and Yun Feng was shocked. Could it be that his ancestor knew the secret behind this?
"Ancestors, can't people who aren't summoners also control demons with a summoner's contract?"
The ancestor furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment before slowly opening his mouth, "This is a reversal, but for summoners, this is an extremely spiritually exhausting method. By using spiritual power to seal one's contract array, others can temporarily control the demon beast. When the spiritual power is exhausted, the contract will automatically be lifted."
Yun Feng was taken aback for a moment, "So that's how it is. The spiritual energy consumed must be considerable, right?"
"Yes, usually only one reversal is possible, and after the reversal, the summoner's spiritual power is almost exhausted. If someone desperately reverses twice, it is also possible, but at a certain cost... such as a decline in strength or severe damage to the spiritual space. Either way, for the summoner, it is a huge blow and loss."
Yun Feng was astonished, thinking that the summoner of the Kalpa Empire had really gone all out for this first place, actually using a reversal technique. If it wasn't for Yun Feng, perhaps the Kalpa Empire would have won with the swarm of bees from earlier, but instead they were defeated at Yun Feng's hands.
"So, Kasen has another contract array in his hands. This labyrinth is not lacking in magical beasts that can drive the Queen Bee of the unified level. The summoner is indeed not a vegetarian." Yun Feng thought to himself, if this time the Kasen Empire still can't take down the first place, that summoner will surely cry.
After understanding everything, Yun Feng also had a bottom line in his heart. Kasen's supposedly most mysterious and powerful means were nothing but that to Yun Feng. Being able to contract with magical beasts in a short period of time? This was indeed an astonishing move, but in front of Yun Feng, these were all just fake goods.
Within half a month, Xiao Huo and Lan Yi would mentally transmit the situation on that side every day. Unexpectedly, they encountered Kasha, the unmanned one. What kind of bad luck was this? Xiao Huo and Lan Yi both told Yun Feng this, and Yun Feng couldn't help but laugh at the misfortune.
According to two reactions, Kasha seemed extremely delighted that Yun Feng was nowhere to be seen, and her posture straightened up instantly. She even dared to command Xiao Huo and Lan Yi, but under Xiao Huo's wolf-like summons, Kasha finally gave up the idea. However, as the captain of the team, her dignity seemed to have returned.
Upon receiving Yun Feng's command, the two of them guarded Yun Sheng's surroundings. Kasha took this opportunity to strike at Yun Sheng, but she had no way to do so. After all, these two were not people she could afford to provoke. However, Yun Feng's absence dispelled all her unpleasantness. Moreover, with Mu Rong Yun Tian around, since the two teams met, Kasha was having a great time, following Mu Rong Yun Tian everywhere, and couldn't be driven away no matter what.
The situation over there is no longer a concern for Yun Feng, even if they encounter people from other empires, with Lan Yi and Xiao Huo, it's enough to make the others suffer. Currently, the most important thing is to take care of the few people from Jia Ye Empire first, they are the biggest poison.
Half a month passed quietly, and Yun Feng, Qu Lanyi, and the four people from Jia Ye Empire had not made any moves. Gradually, nearly a month's time was approaching, and several people were still wandering in the abandoned labyrinth. Along the way, they also encountered some magical beast attacks, but Jia Sen did not make any moves. Perhaps he also knew that these magical beasts would be of no use even if they were contracted for a short period of time.
"Your Highness, we're running out of time!" The female magician said with some urgency, these two months are almost over, they haven't taken any action against any empire, but instead have been stuck with these two people, this is really...
Kasen didn't say a word, his face was indeed gloomy, he was also running out of patience. With only one month left, he had to eliminate all the others within this month! Kasen flipped his palm, and a white jade slip the size of his palm appeared in his hand. The jade slip flashed with many small dots on it, which were the geographical locations of all the others!
"Some people seem to have bumped into each other, and more than ten people have given up. This has saved me a lot of trouble." Kasen observed the situation on the jade slip and estimated the current situation. Auer and Shengyao seemed to be facing each other head-on, with both teams losing five people. On the side of the Kalan Empire, however, not a single person was missing!
Kasen tightly grasped the jade slip in his palm, it seemed that he only had to deal with the Kalan Empire! His gaze swept over Yun Feng and Qu Lan's backs, as long as he took care of these two, the others from the Kalan Empire wouldn't be able to do anything, at that time, first place would undoubtedly belong to the Jia Ye Empire!
"Today, during the break, I'll take action. This time, I will destroy both of them!" Kasen said with a vicious tone, and the others nodded in agreement. They had been waiting for this day for far too long, and with the trump card in Kasen's hand, it would be hard for Karyuu to win!
This month, he hasn't made a move, Gason's patience is to let Yun Feng relax his vigilance. However, he doesn't know that everything has already been seen through by Yun Feng. Yun Feng and he are playing each other, both openly and secretly. Since you're plotting against me, I'll just plot back at you. The fox plans to hunt down its prey, but it doesn't know that the prey also has a mind to hunt down the fox. Who is the real prey and who is the real fox?
Everything was about to unfold, but it was completely disrupted by an unexpected event. Yun Feng and Qu Lan Yi were walking in front, having been trapped in this abandoned maze for two months, with no idea of east, south, west or north, and could only proceed based on intuition. However, now, after turning a corner, they saw a straight and wide road ahead, which was much wider than the paths they had taken before. Yun Feng and Qu Lan Yi both tensed up, as nothing in this place could be judged by ordinary logic, and everything required extreme caution.
Rushing over recklessly is absolutely not allowed. Yun Feng looked at the width of this road and said in a low voice to Qu Lianyi behind him, "I'll go first, you follow my footprints, don't walk along the edge."
Qū Lán Yī hooked up a sweet smile, nodded, and followed behind Yún Fēng who was leading the way. The two of them looked quite natural, just like they were taking a casual stroll. The four people following behind didn't notice anything unusual until they turned the corner onto this road. Jiǎ Sēn walked in front, while the other three walked side by side behind him. Just as they took their first step, a blood-curdling scream suddenly rang out.
"Ah……" was the scream of that female magician, she walked in the middle, the other two warriors walked on both sides, the three people just filled this continent, but did not expect that before taking a step, the roadsides suddenly collapsed, and under the collapse was an abyss of thousands of feet!
"What!" Kasen saw the scene in front of him, and he didn't even have time to rescue them. The two warriors fell down together, but how could there be an abyss thousands of feet deep under the maze? On both sides of the road, two rays of light flashed through the collapsed chasm, and the two warriors had crushed their jade nameplates to automatically exit.
Kasen gritted his teeth, damn it, the Kasen Empire was now left with only five people! Looking at Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi walking in front of him, Kasen's eyes were icy cold. "Follow their footprints." He said to the female magician behind him, then stepped forward along Qu Lanyi's footprints. The female magician nodded, her face slightly pale, her steps also trembling. The road that had collapsed earlier on both sides seemed to have returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened at all.
"Master, beware of the wide road, walk in the middle, both sides are traps!" Xiao Huo and Lan Yi's voices echoed in his mind at the same time. Yun Feng was taken aback, had they encountered something too? "How is big brother?" "Don't worry, Master, Yun Sheng is fine." Lan Yi said, holding Yun Sheng up in her hand, she slightly lifted off the ground to avoid this disaster.
"What's the situation over there?" Yun Feng asked, and Xiao Huo and Lan Yi immediately reported that eight people had gathered on the side of the Kalan Empire, but due to the same situation as Yun Feng's side, they suddenly lost four people directly!
"Kasha, that fool, is staying behind." Xiao Huo said disdainfully. On the side of the Kalan Empire, only Yunsheng, Murong Yuntian, Zeren, Kasha, and also Yunfeng and Qu Lan'ei were left, a total of six people.
Yun Feng walked cautiously ahead, feeling that the path would lead to the deepest part of the maze. What was up ahead? Xiao Huo and Lan Yi were also walking on the same road, perhaps others were doing the same, it seemed as if they were slowly converging towards the same place!
Yun Feng walked cautiously in front, and this strange road finally reached its end. First, a dazzling light came, Yun Feng slightly narrowed his eyes, and Qu Lan stood beside him. After this strong light, the two of them barely opened their eyes.
"Master!" Xiao Huo and Lan Yi's voices suddenly appeared, Yun Feng turned his head and saw several people walking out of another exit. Yun Sheng, Mu Rong Yun Tian, and Ze Ran were all happily running over when they saw Yun Feng, but only Kasha had a gloomy face, it seemed her good days were coming to an end.
"We meet again." A soft voice floated over, and several figures emerged from the other exit. They all looked a bit disheveled, led by that frail young man, followed by four others - the five-man team from the Owi Empire.
"...you..." Another exit walked out a few people, led by a magician named Xiao Xiao. Seeing Yun Feng and Ao Wei's group, they were slightly surprised. After seeing the people from the Kalya Empire walk out, everyone gathered together here.
The people of the four major empires all gathered together, and their numbers were also obvious. The Karan Empire had six people, while the other three major empires each had five people. Kasha saw this and immediately laughed loudly, saying, "It seems that the first place in this competition belongs to the Karan Empire!"
Yun Feng's dark eyes turned cold, "If you don't speak up, no one will think you're mute, Your Highness!"
"Yun Feng, you..." Kasha's face turned red as she was about to retort, but Mu Rong Yun Tian coldly rebuked her, "Princess Kasha, if you want the other three major empires to unite, then go ahead and continue."
Kasha immediately closed her mouth, and slightly turned her head to find that the people from the other three empires were all casting their eyes on Kalan, with meanings that couldn't be clearly expressed.
