Chapter 221 Tang Monk’s Flesh

"Ahh, why did you faint just like that? Let me finish my sentence!" Old Wang teased with his words, but his actions didn’t stop. One hand held Xue Zhiyu, while the other slapped Er Tong’s buttocks hard.

The Snow Wolf King had already turned around with its 'drift' tail swing and now sprinted forward.

Its limbs spread wide, leaping gracefully, maintaining its speed like the wind even amidst the obstacles of the city gate, seemingly faster than the average flight speed of the bee swarm!

However, that referred only to the average speed of the bee swarm.

The Ice Bees functioned as a single unit, but like humans, they had a strict internal hierarchy and varying levels of strength.

One of them was notably larger than the others.

This one was plump, with wings twice as broad as those of the other Ice Bees. While the wingspan of other Ice Bees was about the size of a sparrow, this one seemed comparable to a fat crow.

This was a Commander Bee, significantly stronger than the ordinary soldier bees in the Ice Bee swarm, holding a higher status within the group. The sound of its wings was different from the others, almost like a flying electric motor.

Buzz!

Hearing the sound, Old Wang turned his head on the Snow Wolf’s back and saw the thing hurtling toward him like a jet, leaving a long trail of air bubbles behind it. At the Snow Wolf King’s speed, not only could he not shake it off, but it was rapidly closing the distance.

"Damn!" Old Wang was startled: "Brother, what’s the point of flying so fast? You’re a vegetarian, can’t we part ways amicably?"

The Ice Bee clearly wasn’t going to be dissuaded.

Ten meters, five meters...

Old Wang grabbed Zhiyu’s Heart of Frost, raising his hand to create three ice shields in the air, hoping to slow it down. But there were three consecutive 'bangs,' and the ice shields were instantly shattered. A flash of silver followed, and he felt a sharp pain in his buttocks.

"Ouch!"

The large ice bee actually bit down on Old Wang’s buttocks, the sensation of its pincers instantly clamping down on flesh causing blood to flow profusely.

Old Wang’s anus tightened in pain, almost making him jump off the snow wolf’s back. Enraged, he pressed Xue Zhiyu onto the snow wolf’s back with one hand, threw away the Frost Heart, a mid-grade soul weapon that was like a firewood stick to him, and reached back with his other hand to grab at his rear.

Slap!

His hand met something icy and hard, as if he had grabbed a block of iron, similar to the steel pipe that sticks to your tongue in winter, making his palm skin feel like it had stuck to it.

The Snow Wolf King had already stopped, and Wang Feng, furious, shouted, “Stop! All of you, stop!”

Wang Feng jumped off the Snow Wolf King and yanked forcefully.

Rip...

The ice bee had bitten so tightly that it tore through the pants and a piece of flesh from his buttocks, causing Old Wang such pain that tears almost welled up in his eyes, far more painful than any injection from a little lady.

The ice bee in his hand did not thrash about as expected but instead seemed somewhat stiff, its serrated mandibles stained with bright red blood, having already swallowed a piece of his buttock flesh. It opened and closed its mouth weakly, its round, bulging compound eyes glazed over and swirling with dizziness, as if drunk.

This was truly eating his flesh and drinking his blood...

Seeing the dazed ice bee, Wang Feng frowned, looking at the unconscious Xue Zhiyu, then at the bee in his hand. He slowly channeled soul power into it, though he didn’t want to, there was no other choice at this moment.

The originally drunken bee began to emit a golden light, its body swelling up, becoming ‘plump,’ and its thin wings thickened and turned golden.

A new queen bee was born.

I really don’t want to be a Tang Monk!

...

The battle at the city gate had escalated into a truly brutal and intense phase.

The Tian Shu Great Array, which originally could still maintain a few breaches, was now completely overwhelmed by the swarm, with the golden energy shield vanishing in large patches, not only on the front of the city gate but also as ice bees poured in from all directions, instantly rendering the city gate's firepower suppression ineffective.

The once orderly teams of archers, gunners, and mages were suddenly fragmented by the sudden influx of the swarm, turning the city gate into numerous isolated pockets of resistance, some with dozens of people, others with only two or three fighting back-to-back, unable to form large-scale attacks, significantly reducing their effectiveness against the ice bees.

And the hundreds of Divine Soul Cannons on the city gate had almost lost half of their number within just a dozen seconds, losing all coordination, with only scattered lightning beams shooting up here and there, though they could sweep away swarms of bees, they were immediately overwhelmed by the endless tide of ice bees.

The defense lines had been completely breached, with at least a hundred people dying every second on the city walls, and it was likely that within ten minutes, everyone would be dead, making the ice bees the absolute rulers of this world.

Not only were they killing, but they were also destroying everything, the streams of ice bees surged forward, the powerful impact waves carrying their hatred for the Ice Spirit people, crumbling and collapsing the once solid walls in large sections.

Rumble...

Creak...

The ten-mile-long city gate was slowly collapsing.

Ice Spirit faced dire straits, the great edifice was about to crumble.

Beside Snow Cangbo, there still gathered about a hundred warriors, temporarily protected by giant shields on both sides.

He swung ice winds with all his might, working in concert with the mages in the shield formation to forcibly repel the hundreds of ice bees charging from the front, while the shield soldiers held back the swarms coming from the sides. However, several stronger, larger ice bees were already attacking him from above, and Snow Cangbo swung Frost's Sorrow upward, trying to fend them off, but found his soul power was depleted.

"Come on! Come on!" he roared in a trembling voice.

The ice bee charging down was right before his eyes, and there was no trace of fear in Snow Cangbo's gaze; his daughter was dead, and Ice Spirit City was finished.

A king guards the national gate, and to perish with Ice Spirit is his best destiny.

But suddenly, he heard an anxious cry: "Father!"

A silver gleam streaked in from not far away, precisely repelling the incoming Ice Bees.

Is it Zhebie’s ice arrow? No... its power is much smaller, and besides, father? Zhi Yu?!

Xue Cangbai quickly turned his head towards the sound, only to see a Snow Boar King leading the way, its three-meter-tall frame charging through the swarm like a steel locomotive, crushing its way up the city gate from the side staircase, trampling many already broken sections of the city wall, and astonishingly, carrying four people on its back.

A massive blade was wildly swinging, its technique exquisite, as impenetrable as snowflakes, guarding the left flank of the Boar King, it was Aota.

On the right was a massive mace resembling a wolf's fang, striking with horizontal and vertical blows. Badeluo's powerful and unrestrained strength was surprisingly effective against the swarm of bees. Together with Dongbuluo, who continuously conjured ice shields around the Snow Pig King, they managed to defend the area around the wild boar king as if it were an impregnable fortress.

The one who called father was the girl riding on the Snow Boar King's head. She was holding a standard ice bow in her hand. It was Xue Cai, and it was Xue Cai who shot the arrow just now!

Xue Cangbai slightly opened his mouth, never having imagined that one day, this daughter whom he had always looked down upon and despised, this little disaster who had taken away his beloved wife the moment she was born, would actually save his life, and would so selflessly rush to his side at the last moment of life.

His eyes felt slightly moist, as a whirlwind of complex emotions surged through his heart in that instant.

He saw that behind the wild boar king, there were several masters including Donghuang Yigu, Mumuxi, Dayi Kapu, Gina, etc. Although everyone was injured, they were heroes that Bing Ling knew after all. They cooperated with each other and covered each other with the snow boar king who was rushing forward. They fought their way out of the dense swarm of bees and rushed towards his position.

Yet this city gate was the focal point of the swarm's assault. As the Snow Boar King charged forward, the pressure around him noticeably intensified. A large group of bees, seemingly drawn by the frantic charge of the small team, split off a force of about twenty to thirty thousand, converging into a silver torrent that swept towards the Wild Boar King.

Xue Cangbai's eyes suddenly widened with anger. A concentrated attack was the simplest but also the most terrifying means of the bee swarm, just like the witchcraft of the ice witch could be superimposed. When the ice bees gathered together into a force, their fighting power would more than double.

"Be careful!" he shouted hastily, but the torrent formed by the swarm of ice bees had rushed to the front of the Wild Boar King in an instant.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz!

Each ice bee, with eyes ablaze, was gathering its strength.

The terrifying charge, the silver flood—today, Snow Cypress had already seen too much. Even a ten-ton Divine Martial Soul Cannon, even the sturdy and thick city walls, would be as fragile as paper in the face of such an attack, let alone Xuecai, who was riding at the very front of the Snow Boar King!

He could clearly see that Xuecai’s previously battle-ready face was now overwhelmed by the swarm’s might, turning into uncontrollable fear. After all, she was only fourteen years old. Her pretty, terrified face reminded him of how the queen clung to his hand tightly before her death.

“Xuecai!”

In that instant, Snow Cypress’s eyes were about to burst from their sockets. With no soul power left in his body, he used all his strength to throw Frost Sorrow toward the swarm with all his might.

It was a futile act, but at that moment, a miracle occurred.
