Chapter 3717 Sub-Queens They didn't act immediately as I had expected. Instead, they spread out and took out a few more artifacts and placed them around the honeycomb. Only after that, do they act; which means directly releasing their aura. If monsters could think, their eyes would go wide, seeing the people brazenly releasing their aura so close to the honeycomb, but this is the difference between the monsters and the people. They are dumb and also weaker compared to these five. The monsters around the bee's want the honey, but barely anyone dared to enter inside for the honey, because the hive would attack them. By the time the bees finished; there wouldn't be even a skeleton there. It is not like the bees are strong; they are weak compared to the monsters around them, but they are in huge numbers and their stings are extremely dangerous, even to these people, but they are people, not dumb monsters. They could defend themselves with their artifacts. Even if they got stung; they have medicine ready to deal with it. They released the aura and got the reaction; I had expected from the bees. All the bees around the territory alerted; they stopped everything they were doing and moved toward the hive at their greatest speed. It is not all the bees had sensed, the queens have sensed it and sent the signal to all the bees. The first to attack were the guard bees surrounding the strong. The second strongest, they attack, all of them being Sky Sovereign. Pachack Pachack Pachack They were turned to pieces before they could even reach the enemies. They killed them, without allowing them to release their most powerful attack; their sting. By the time, they were massacred thousands of workers, both Sky Sovereigns and Earth Sovereigns came and threw themselves at the people. The people grinned and thousands of lances materialized and moved toward the thousands that were coming. While it was happening, two sub-queens moved. The high queen and queens ordered them to stop and if I had not been controlling them. These two would have frozen in their places, but they didn't and instead created a hole through the hive and moved through it. If it had normal time, the bee guardians; the strongest of guards moved to stop them, but all of them surrounded the high-queens and queens. The sub-queens are the lowest in priority. They didn't care about them. The two sub-queen came out of the hive and workers waiting for them picked them up and moved them away fast from the massacre that began. Thousands of energy attacks clashed against the thousands of bees and tore them apart; in just a matter of seconds, thousands of them turned into porcupines and began to fall from the sky like rain, while they laughed. These people are killing these bees needlessly. If they had used their brain, instead of their power, they could have easily done it humanely. They wouldn't have needed to kill thousands of monsters and still got what they wanted. They had killed the bees, but it was just the first wave; the second wave came no longer faster, and they killed it too, before long came the third wave, with only one Sky Sovereign with the rest being Earth Sovereign bees. Like the first two waves, they attacked the people without care for the world. A few seconds later, their bodies joined the rest, and the people turned their eyes toward their prize; the beehive. They didn't move toward it, instead pushed their auras into the beehive. Four and a half minutes later, half of the guardian bees came out with crystals on top of their heads shining brightly. They moved so fast that one moment; they were out of the honeycomb. The next moment, they were next to people aiming their sting toward them. The next image entered my mind and saw them split into multiple parts. They killed all the guardian bees, whose sting could kill even them if it hit, but all of them avoided it rather easily and now turned toward the hive, before finally walking toward it. They entered inside from all sides; the moment they did; their soul sense suppressed, and its range shirked rapidly. As it happened, I quickly collected two queens and workers before hiding in my abode and turned to the beehive, where everything was over. They attacked the bees and the guardians, the moment they stepped inside. Not giving the queens, a chance to use the final option, and now they are beginning to tear apart the beehive. The biggest share went to the two Peak Sky Sovereigns, while the slightly smaller share went to the three high-sky Sovereigns. I watched when I saw a frown appear on the stone-woman's and she turned in my direction, before coming toward me. I wanted to cut off my soul waves immediately, but I resisted the urge. If they find the source of the soul wave, it won't be me, but I don't think, she had sensed my soul waves. "What happened?" asked the Elephant Beastman to the stone- skin woman as she stopped four hundred meters from my abode and scanned the area heavily. "Did you sense those sub-queens and workers? They suddenly disappeared. We were there for less than five seconds; in that time, they vanished without a trace," she answered. A frown appeared on their faces, and they began to scan the area with their soul sense. I could feel them over my abode, but they didn't discover it. "They disappeared," said another stone-skin man. "But where?" asked the woman, spreading her soul's sense wide. "I think, we wouldn't need to worry about it too much. Even if it was someone there, it was only a bunch of bees. They didn't even take honey," said the beastman, and the other nodded. The woman still had a frown for a few seconds, but it eased when she looked at her group and followed them a few seconds later. While I laid down on the couch with relief. For a few seconds, I was really worried and thought about many contingencies, in case they had discovered me.
