In the Wilderness Jungle, Duanmu Xi and the others didn’t know about the rebellion in the Baihu Empire. Now, they were trekking into the depths of the jungle.
Duanmu Xi looked at the endless jungle and frowned. It was hard to tell what she was thinking about.
Situ Kong looked at Duanmu Xi’s tired face and slightly knitted his brows, “Xi, you look a bit pale. Didn’t you sleep well last night again?”
Duanmu Xi came to her senses and then smiled at Situ Kong, “I’m fine.”
It was just that she missed Snow. Since she read Yu Feng’s letter yesterday, she had been immersed in the thoughts of Xuanyuan Mo.
Situ Kong was slightly relieved to hear Duanmu Xi’s answer, “Good. Hang on for a few more days. We’ll be able to get out soon.”
Duanmu Xi nodded and turned to look at the endless jungle again.
“What’s wrong with Her Highness? Why does she seem upset?” Phoenix Fourteen dragged Yu Ying and asked in a low voice.
Hearing that, Yu Ying took a glance at Duanmu Xi, saying with a slight frown, “Maybe she just misses His Highness or worries about Elder Mei.”
Phoenix Fourteen nodded reflectively.
Situ Kong walked for a distance. Suddenly, his ears twitched, “Wait. Did you hear any strange sound?”
The others looked around warily at once and then tensed themselves to listen attentively.
“What’s that sound?” Yu Ying asked. Obviously, he also heard the strange sound.
“It’s the sound of a bee.”
“It’s the bee,” Long Ri and Long Yue said simultaneously. They were familiar with the bee’s humming sound because the weather in the Qinglong Empire was spring all year round. There were many flowers. Accordingly, there were many bees.
Instantly, right after Long Ri and Long Yue finished speaking, the others saw a swarm of bees flying toward them.
“Everybody run.” Situ Kong was the first one to react. He directly dragged Duanmu Xi and ran forward.
Upon hearing that, the others all started running with Situ Kong. Phoenix Fourteen was dragged forward with Yu Ying before she realized what was going on.
“What’s that? Why are we running?” Dragged by Long Yue, Phoenix Five kept looking back at the bees continually.
Yet, Long Yue just kept running forward without looking back, “If I guess it right, those should be Lethal Bees.” The bees that could startle Situ Kong like this should be Black Tiger-head Bees, which were hailed as Lethal Bees.
“Lethal Bees!” Phoenix Five and Phoenix Fourteen couldn’t help screaming and broke out in a sweat. They both subconsciously ran once faster.
Lethal Bee’s scientific name was Black Tiger-head Bee. They were the biggest bees that flew fastest. The sting at the end of the bee’s belly was heavily poisonous. They tended to live in groups. If they targeted something, they wouldn’t give up until their target was dead. Hence, they were called Lethal Bees.
Duanmu Xi held her belly tightly and ran forward fast.
Situ Kong glanced at Duanmu Xi’s belly and knitted his brows, “Xi, let Zimei show up and carry you now.” Such an intense activity wasn’t suitable for a pregnant woman.
“Lanze,” Duanmu Xi directly shouted at the sky. Yet, what she summoned was Lanze rather than Zimei.
As Duanmu Xi summoned, a strange-looking light grey monster appeared in front of all.
However, currently, no one would appreciate the qilin’s appearance. Everyone was striving to run forward.
Upon seeing Lanze, Duanmu Xi directly moved forward with a plunge.
Lanze immediately knelt on the ground. Duanmu Xi turned around and sat on Lanze’s back. They cooperated really well.
Duanmu Xi turned her head and glimpsed the Lethal Bees coming nearer. Her brows were knitted.
“You run first. I’ll guard your backs,” Duanmu Xi said and then ran back on Lanze.
“Your Highness…” Everyone was astonished. Then, they just stopped running forward and ran back after Duanmu Xi.
Upon hearing the footsteps behind, Duanmu Xi immediately turned around and cast a cold glance at them, “Everybody, run. This is an order!”
“Your Highness…” Phoenix Five looked at Duanmu Xi with worry.
Duanmu Xi glanced at Phoenix Five and said with a stern face, “If you dare to disobey my order, just go back now.”
After saying that, Duanmu Xi paid no heed to them and turned to face the Lethal Bees again.
Staring at Duanmu Xi’s slim back, Long Yue looked worried and ran forward, holding Phoenix Five’s hand.
Yu Ying also ran with Phoenix Fourteen at the same time.
Upon seeing the scene, Phoenix Thirteen also dragged Long Ri forward. Long Ri also turned his head with worry from time to time.
Feeling Long Ri’s worry, Phoenix Thirteen had mixed feelings in her eyes, “Rest assured. Her Highness will be fine!”
She knew that only when they ran first could Her Highness deal with those Black Tiger-head Bees without distraction. Black Tiger-head Bees flew fast and chased them relentlessly. They couldn’t keep running. Hence, Her Highness’s idea was the best solution for now.
In the final analysis, they were still too weak. Currently, they couldn’t protect Her Highness at all. Instead, they needed Her Highness’s protection. Now, Phoenix Thirteen had mixed feelings. At the moment, she was so eager to become stronger.
Likewise, Long Yue and Yu Ying also felt the same way.
The others all ran away. Only Situ Kong followed Duanmu Xi.
Staring at the Lethal Bees flying nearer, Situ Kong frowned more and more heavily.
“Chief Master, you leave too. Don’t worry about me. I’ll catch up with you later,” Duanmu Xi didn’t look back and said with her back toward Situ Kong.
Situ Kong was slightly dazed to hear that and cracked a bitter smile. He didn’t expect that she also wanted him to leave.
Situ Kong looked at Duanmu Xi’s back with worry and hesitation.
“They are merely Black Tiger-head Bees. Trust me.” Her tender voice eased Situ Kong’s heart instantly.
Situ Kong didn’t see Duanmu Xi’s facial expression but he could imagine that she must look proud with arched eyebrows.
“You must be careful.” Situ Kong looked back at Duanmu Xi’s back again before running forward quickly.
Hearing the further and further footsteps, Duanmu Xi curled her lips. She looked at the swarm of black bees in front of her and patted Lanze, saying with a sinister smile, “Be ready to fight.”
“Got it.” Lanze’s grey-blueish eyes also glistened with excitement. It hadn’t stretched itself for quite a while. Although these low-level spiritual beasts weren’t to its liking, this was still a good chance to fight.
A swarm of black bees had arrived in front of Duanmu Xi. For the moment, all she could hear was the humming sound.
Lanze opened its mouth and poured out a water column at the Black Tiger-head Bees.
The Black Tiger-head Bees were instantly drowned. The humming sound became smaller instantly. Duanmu Xi felt relieved for a while.
Lanze’s water column was potent but it only got rid of a small number of Black Tiger-head Bees. The other Black Tiger-head Bees got together again.
Staring at their peers’ bodies, the Black Tiger-head Bees rushed toward Duanmu Xi and Lanze as if going mad.
Lanze looked at the Black Tiger-head Bees with a glimmer of disdain in its light grey eyes. It raised its front hoofs and cast another burst of water at the Black Tiger-head Bees.
This time, some Black Tiger-head Bees were killed.
Duanmu Xi looked at the Black Tiger-head Bees that gathered again and slightly knitted her eyebrows. She patted Lanze’s head and said, “OK. Enough playing. Let’s make it quick.”
Lanze’s thoughts were found. He replied in dejection, “OK.” It still wanted to play, but now that its mistress had given the order, it must follow her order then.
“Overturning Water.” Lanze spat out a torrent, which instantly overwhelmed the Black Tiger-head Bees.
The Black Tiger-head Bees were wiped out instantly. Staring at their bodies, Duanmu Xi patted Lanze’s head with satisfaction, “Good job.”
Lanze took the opportunity to rub its head against Duanmu Xi’s palm. It hadn’t been so close to its mistress for a long time. This time, it must spend some time being close to her while the beast god was not here.
Staring at Lanze’s cute appearance, Duanmu Xi couldn’t help thinking of the days when she spent time with Lanze alone on the deserted island.
“Let’s go. If we don’t go back, they’ll be worried.”
Lanze puckered its lips. It didn’t like its mistress’s guards at all. None of them was useful. As guards, they still needed their mistress’s protection. They were such losers. However, since Mistress liked them, it couldn’t have any problem!
Phoenix Five directly shook away Long Yue’s hand and said angrily, “Her Highness is still there. How can we run away?”
As a phoenix guard, she always stood in front of the empress and Her Highness. Never had she run away like today. Even she despised herself. She was such a coward.
“You run on your own. I’ll go back to Her Highness,” Phoenix Five said without looking at anyone. She directly turned around and ran back. She must go back. Even if she was dying, she must die by Her Highness’s side. Otherwise, she would fail Her Highness’s favor for her.
Suddenly, Phoenix Five felt heat in her palm and then looked up only to see Long Yue’s guilty face.
“I’ll go with you,” Long Yue said. He directly ran back madly with Phoenix Five. Actually, the moment he ran away with Phoenix Five, he regretted it.
Yu Ying and Phoenix Fourteen exchanged glances. They both recognized regret and guilt in each other’s eyes.
Without saying anything, they ran back with Phoenix Five and Long Yue. Phoenix Five was right. As guards, they shouldn’t be quitters. Even if they couldn’t defeat the opponents, even if they knew that they would die, they must stand in front of their mistress.
Phoenix Thirteen also felt very ashamed. Although she knew that they had done the right thing and that things might have been worse if they stayed, it was wrong for her to forget the duties of a phoenix guard!
Without thinking much, she just wanted to chase Phoenix Five and Long Yue. Suddenly, she heard someone cry behind her.
Phoenix Thirteen turned her head abruptly only to see that Long Ri was taken away by a thick vine.
Phoenix Thirteen was astonished. She turned her head and took a glance at the others. Then, she threw her jade pendant to the ground and turned to chase in Long Ri’s direction.
