Chapter 236 Burning Bees And Molten Wax
“Prepare now. They’re going to come out when you’re shut and begin attacking. However you simply have to concentrate on pouring all of your breath into the crevice.” Arthur mentioned as he elevated the gap between himself and the crevice
“Ki!” Brambles nodded in settlement and moved in the direction of the crevice.
<nulli>~BUZZ~
The sound of the Rock Bees may already be heard as that they had been alerted as a result of footsteps of the big beetle. With its measurement, it was exhausting for it to make no noise. And if it tried to fly, it might simply create much more noise as a result of flapping of its personal wings.
<nulli>~BUZZ~
And certain sufficient, the second Brambles was close to the crevice the Rock Bees poured out.
“KIRI II!” Brambles noticed the big bees and felt no worry.
As a substitute it responded with an intimidating wave of its horn.
<nulli>~WHOOSH~
The massive horn created a powerful wave of air that brushed away the bees that had simply risen up. That gave Brambles sufficient time to open its mouth and unfold its mandibles.
<nulli>~SHUA~
Then within the subsequent second, an excellent warmth could possibly be felt coming from its mouth and a pink ball additionally fashioned. The ball solely lasted for a second earlier than exploding with nice energy.
<nulli>~SIZZLE~

It did not take a lot for the flames to ignite the Rock Bees. Their defenses have been abysmal even for beginner gamers and as such could possibly be killed in a couple of hits. Although they did not give a lot expertise individually.
However when so many have been mixed, the expertise achieve was huge.
>Dragon Horn Beetle has killed Rock Bee Staff!< x 578
>Dragon Horn Beetle has killed Rock Bee Drones!< x 341
>Dragon Horn Beetle has leveled up!<
>Dragon Horn Beetle has reached degree 20!<
Seeing the speedy degree up, Arthur was joyful. With this Brambles had mainly caught as much as him and would have the ability to help him even higher.
<nulli>~BUZZT!~
However the slaughter of the bees didn’t final lengthy as they began to fly out from the edges.
‘Figures that that they had different entrances into the cavern. However that is nonetheless ok.’ Arthur reckoned.
Another excuse why he was advantageous with this was the truth that the bees have been now escaping. That they had thought-about their odds and knew there was no likelihood they’d have the ability to survive the fireplace.
And as such, their queen select to desert the hive.
The Rock Bees did not even have a look at Arthur or Brambles and easily flew away.
Two giant plenty flew out from the edges of the crevice, wanting like a darkish Swarm. If a traditional individual have been to see so many bees directly, they’d have been terrified to no extent.
However fortunately none of them have been concentrating on them and flew away. Usually although, this could have been a foul factor because the Rock Bees flying away would have failed the hunt if not for the truth that the aim was to acquire the Rock Bee Wax.
“That is sufficient Brambles,” Arthur ordered the beetle.
“Ki!” Brambles raised his head and closed his mouth, stopping the fixed spray of fireside.
<Brambles MP: 40%>
Arthur checked the beast’s MP and noticed that it had used the Draconids Breath thrice in a row. For thrice, the affect was lots better than anticipated although it was additionally mixed with the topography of the world.
If not for the slim crevice it might have in all probability not have such an impact.
“Time to get the wax,” Arthur mentioned lastly strolling to the crevice.
The crevice was nonetheless radiating warmth with most of changing into pitch black as a result of soot overlaying it. Although there have been a couple of elements that have been nonetheless burning which was none aside from the remaining corpses of the Rock Bees burning.
Most of them had already become ashes, however a couple of ultimate ones that had been hit the final have been now burning. Arthur let all of them burn down and waited for the crevice to develop into a bit colder.
Even with the fireplace resistance he had as a result of armor, it might nonetheless be too scorching for him to have the ability to go down with out issues.
Ten minutes handed, and the place had calmed down by now.
“Wait right here Brambles, I am going to go down.” Arthur spoke to the beetle. “Block something that comes right here or simply kill them.” He instructed.
“Kik!” The beetle responded with affirmation and Arthur climbed down into the crevice.
There have been loads of cracks, holes and outcrops which made it simpler for Arthur to climb down. The Rock Bees additionally tended to make a loot f holes within the rocks that they’d use to dwell in. As such it was mainly two partitions filled with holes.
If it weren’t this darkish, an individual with Trypophobia would possibly simply find yourself fainting from the look of 1000’s of darkish holes. It was fairly an unsettling scene which additionally made it simpler for one to climb down.
Plus it additionally helped that Arthur not needed to carry additional weight on his again as nearly every part was in his cape.
Solely the Black Tear Brief Sword was nonetheless hanging off his waist because it may come in useful in different methods. Plus in case Arthur met different gamers or NPCs, they will not discover him too suspicious.
An adventurer strolling round with no weapons was extra suspicious in any case. Plus it might additionally function a approach for Arthur to shock others and take benefit.
Not many would count on a participant to tug out an extended spear after which extra weapons one after the opposite.
“HAAH, no less than this one has higher footholds.” Arthur had his again towards the opposite facet of the crevice and had to make use of all of his physique to descend.
Generally if a spot didn’t have a direct place to carry, Arthur would simply unfold his legs and arms round, to climb down vertically like an acrobat.
‘Man, I certain as he would not have been in a position to do that in the actual world. Final I bear in mind doing this was once I was 8.’ Arthur ended up recalling a few of his previous reminiscences from the orphanage.
He remembered the children having a contest to climb up a slim hallway that was current within the orphanage. With the low weights and higher health of the children, it was one thing that they discovered simple sufficient to do.
Maybe Arthur may need even been capable of do it as soon as his stats improved a bit extra in the actual world.
5 minutes was what it took to lastly hit the underside of the crevice.
<nulli>~squelch~
And when he did, the very first thing he stepped on was a reasonably sticky substance.
Arthur’s eyes faintly glowed in the dead of night as he seemed on the huge swathe of Rock Bee Wax that was unfold everywhere in the backside. It was no less than one to 2 inches thick.
It confirmed simply how a lot Rock Bee Wax was really current. After all part of it had been burned off after being melted as a result of excessive warmth of Draconid’s breath, however there was nonetheless lots left.
“This’ll be greater than sufficient to coat my armor a couple of occasions and in addition unload an element.” Arthur smiled broadly.
With the restricted provide of the Rock Bee Wax, Arthur may all the time unload extra to get gold cash.
‘I needn’t promote most of it, I am going to simply maintain it as a backup money supply when wanted.’ Arthur reckoned.
Plus if Arthur paced how he offered the Rock Bee Wax, he would have the ability to get extra cash than regular. Then again if he offered it unexpectedly, it might flood the market and convey down the costs.
‘Fairly than promoting, it might additionally assist to maintain some quantity for quests that require it.’ He thought.
With that in thoughts, he lastly bought to gathering the wax.
“Hmm… the smooth wax is okay however the backside one is hardened… gotta use one thing.” Arthur took out the Blood Mane Sickle and used that as a scraper.
He began from one finish of the crevice and progressed to the opposite whereas pulling chunks of the Rock Bee Wax out.
With how a lot there was, it ended up taking Arthur practically an hour to assemble most of it. He saved it within the cape on the similar time, because it allowed him to regenerate some MP whereas he continued to assemble it.
“That ought to be the final of it… Phew~” Arthur saved the Blood Mane Sickle again within the cape and checked the stats.
It had taken fairly a little bit of his MP to retailer all of the Wax.
