Chapter 24

Circling the dense forest, I stayed out the Poisonous Grassland . Along the way, I saw many different types of flying insects such as the deadly wasp I had seen before . I went in closer and read the information about the monster——

[Bumble Bee] (Normal Monster)

Level: 22

Attack: 79-114

Defense: 40

HP: 600

Ability: [Combo (LV-3)]

Description: The lords of the Poisonous Grassland, these wasps are the most vicious of the grassland . Even a mighty beast, such as a tiger, can’t do anything about them .

……

“Bumble Bees huh… . ” I squinted my eyes, “Like Bumble Bee from Transformers…”

Clang!

I drew my sword, emitting a gust of air . [Turmoil Sword]’s effect immediately took place, raising my attack by 10% . My attack damage should be 165 now . I was sure I could break through the 40 points of defense that the Bumble Bee had, but before I could plan my attack, the Bumble Bee noticed me and quickly rushed towards me, stinger first . There was no golden hexagon, the first attack was definitely a normal attack!

97!

Ow… The instant the Bumble Bee’s stinger connected with my arm, I sent my Bramble Thorn Sword forward attempting the stab, slash, and hack combo . But, once the Bumble Bee took my first strike, it activated Combo (LV-3) . The stinger started to glow and it attacked me with a three strike combo!

110!

+450!

121!

214!

+150!

That scared the hell out of me, but luckily, I was still alive . In the short amount of time between the attacks of the combo, I used [Heal] on myself . The level 3 [Heal] recovered 450 HP, which almost returned me to full health . I added [Hemostasis] after the combo finished, and my health recovered to around 50% . I went completely pale . Damn! No wonder that 7-man team got annihilated; the attacks of the Bumble Bee were powerful .

Pa!

I slashed at the Bumble Bee angrily and sliced the Bumble Bee 8 times . It died with a jiji sound, and its body fell down, giving me a fair bit of experience points and 11 copper coins . Copper Coins were always a good thing .

I opened up the map, and at the deepest point within Poisonous Grassland, the green grassland became a dark shade of crimson . Yep, the high level monsters should be in that area . All I needed to do was waddle in there . As long as I carefully healed myself between the combo attacks of the Bumble Bees, they wouldn’t be able to instantly kill me . And being a healer, as long as I was not dead, I could recover my health .

……

After more than an hour, stepping over countless Bumble Bee corpses, I entered the deeper part of the grassland . Sadly, the Bumble Bees hadn’t dropped a Bumble Bee seal, or else I would be rich right now with Bumble Bee pets . The Bumble Bee’s attack level was 4 stars, which was higher than the Silver-Feathered Bird’s . If I could seal one, I would become undoubtedly become rich!

In front of me were thorny bushes . Not the one to be deterred, I waved my sword and cut a path . Finally, when I sliced aside the bushes and looked up to examine my “art work”, a flower scent floated in the air and rushed to my nose . On the grassland beyond the bushes, I saw colorful wasps flying around, emitting annoying bzzz sounds . In addition, their stringers looked strangely metallic; they were what I was trying to find – Killer Bees!

I slowly approached the nearest Big Wasp . When it was about 20 meters away, I greedily read the attributes of the monster . Know thyself and thy enemy and thou shall not be defeated in a hundred battles!

[Killer Bee] (Normal monster)

Level: 24

Attack: 94-154

Defense: 50

HP: 700

Ability: [Combo (LV-3)]

Description: The lords of the Poisonous Grassland . Even mighty beasts such as tigers can’t do anything about them .

……

When I looked at the attributes for the Killer Bee, my heart skipped a beat . My God, 154 attack damage! Used with the combo ability, I might not survive to see the next day . This was quite challenging!

Approaching with light steps, I attacked first!

Sha!

I rushed out my hiding place and cast level 2 [Encourage], which raised my attack by 2% . Even a tiny bit made a difference! I drew an arc, and sliced horizontally .

Bang!

117!

The killer bee’s body flied backward from the power within the strike . But almost immediately, it buzzed back to initiate its counter attack . It was a Combo! While it stabbed me continuously, I nearly ran of out of HP, but I took the chance and cast [Heal]!

174!

180!

+35​​4!

172!

I barely escaped with my life . That was way too scary . Although I had some decent armor, it was still a cloth armor and against high leveled monsters, it was too weak, bah!

I healed myself at the exact right time, and saved myself from death . The rest of the fight was a lot easier since the cooldown for the combo was quite high . But even without combos, the Killer Bee wa quite formidable . After managing to kill the Killer Bee, I was covered in cold sweat . How was this a normal monster? This was more like fighting with a boss for survival!

The first Killer Bee didn’t drop any equipment, so I continued on . I cruised around some Killer Bees, checking their levels before I made a move . But even then, I didn’t find a single level 1 Killer Bee…

After fighting countless Killer Bees and not finding a level 1 Killer Bee, it was nearly noon so I ate my lunch box, and continued on .

I kept hunting the Killer Bees in the Poisonous Grassland until 3 p . m . I kept repeating the same movements . I killed some Killer Bees, then they respawned again, then I killed them again . I repeated this over and over and would keep repeating it until I found a level 1 killer bee!

……

Finally, the reward showed itself . When it was almost 4pm, a level 1 Killer Bee appeared!

Shaking from excitement, I held onto a small tree for support . To calm my nerves I took a breath . The level 1 Killer Bee was happily dancing around in the fields . Afraid that the level 1 bee would fly out of my grasp, I immediately took out a hefty stack of seals . Since I was quite rich, I had bought 100 seals for this moment! This level 1 Killer Bee was mine!

Sha!

The seal flied out, and enveloped the head of the level 1 Killer Bee . Like before, a hexagram bolted down with light flies down . But the Killer Bee resisted, violently darting out of the hexagram . Slowly the lights faded, the sealing having failed . The bee happily flew back into the flowery grassland…

But I gnashed my teeth and persisted . With a 24% chance of sealing it, I would be successful!

I kept on trying, and on the 5th seal, finally, the Killer Bee stopped darting out of the hexagram . With a flash of light it entered my pet storage . I was going to be rich now!

I excitedly open up my pet list window . The attributes for the Killer Bee showed up on the screen, pretty good——

[Killer Bee] Level：1

Attack：★★★★☆

Defense：★★★

Health：★★★☆

Agility：★★★★☆

Magic Power：★★☆

Excellency Rating：74%

……

Excellency of 74%! This was a fairly high-end pet, and that 4 . 5 stars worth of attack could cause people to drool over this pet or flinch when the pet was flying at them . This was good stuff!

With unmatched excitement, I decided that I would keep this Killer Bee . My first pet!

As I was about to release the Killer Bee to level up with me, I noticed something glittering in front of the forest, undoubtedly another Killer Bee respawning . But a black shadow appeared!

No, that was not right . I had seen plenty of Killer Bees respawns, but the respawn of this one was very slow, but very elegant as well!

I rubbed my eyes, and continued watching . Within the golden glow, a wasp similar to the killer bee respawned, but it was also different . The wings had a faint golden colour, and the stinger was golden as well . Its body was sturdy and strong, it’s thin shell lightly sparkling under the sun . It was like a huge bee with armor!

I looked at the attributes of this strange creature, and I almost fainted away . Oi, it was level 1! It was really level 1!

[Bee Overlord] (Elite Monster)

Level: 1

Description: The evolved state of a Killer Bee . A monster that is said to be a killer in legends, the Bee Overlord has incomparable attack power and agility . It is a nightmare to poachers, and a murderer to many heroes .

……

Looking at my seal window, the Killer Bee seal was flashing on a column . When I opened the seal information window up, not only was there a picture of the Killer Bee, there was also a seal for the Bee Overlord . Apparently, the Bee Overlord still counted as a Killer Bee! This was great, I coud seal the Bee Overlord!

Buzz!

My mind went blank at the surprise! It was an elite-ranked monster and level 1! And monster seals were so rare that they were like 10 point beauties, rare and unobtainable . But for me, I had the seal for Killer Bees which meant that I could seal Bee Overlords . This only meant one thing . God, I was going to make a fortune!

Hovering over the Bee Overlord drawing’s head was the sealing chance——11% . Hm, I could take this slowly and eventually, i would seal it . There was nothing to be afraid of when I had 95 seals!

Cha!

I threw out the first seal, but it was easily shaken by the bee and a [MISS] popped up . The Bee Overlord flew at the same spot in a circle . It was taunting me…

Cha!

I sent out my second seal, and after 1 . 5 seconds, a [MISS] popped up again . The bee continued to taunt me .

Third seal! Taunt!

Fourth seal! Taunt!

Fifth seal! Taunt…

……

Although I was a patient person, I was about to go insane after missing 87 seals . How was this an 11% chance, it was more like 1%!

On my 91st seal, I threw it out, and like the 90 times before, a hexagram appeared . I muttered, “I pray to you God, please have mercy on me!”

The Bee Overlord buzzed non-stop, but unlike before, it stayed in the hexagram . Slowly, the Bee Overlord shrinked smaller and smaller, and with a sha sound, it went into the seal . With a flash it entered my pet window!

I immediately opened the pet window to look up the Bee Overlord’s attributes . At that moment, my heart really felt like it was going to stop! The stats were too good . The wasted seals had all been compensated for~

[Bee Overlord] Level：1

Attack：★★★★★

Defense：★★★★

Health：★★★☆

Agility：★★★★☆

Magic Power：★★☆

Excellency Rating：97%

……

Compared to the Killer Bee, the good point about the Bee Overlord was that the attack was 5 stars instead of 4 . 5 and its defense rose by 1 star . The rest of the stats were the same . Like the Killer Bee, the Bee Overlord’s HP and magic power were pretty low, and the agility was pretty high . But the most important stat I needed was attack damage to compensate for my low attack damage, and the Bee Overlord had huge high attack damage, so that was good enough for me . With my [Heal] and [Hemostasis], the Bee Overlord would be able to sustain high damage and keep dishing out high damage!

More importantly, it had 97% in excellence, which I had never seen before!

My heart was going crazy, and I immediately called out the Bee Overlord and lead it to kill monsters . I had one more thing that I needed to do . I needed to create a name for my pet . If I called it “Bee Overlord” it would be a bit too domineering . With this pet that was full of damage, I needed a cute and adorable name, so it could hide its killing intent!

After thinking for a while, I happily gave the Bee Overlord a new name——Baby Bobo .

Ah, what a fearful name!

Oh Baby Bobo, your name will go down in history! You will become an unshakable force . You will be honored for centuries, feared by all!
