"Boss, why doesn’t the toxic smoke from the Poison Dragon Vermilion Fruit affect us?" Tangyuan stood on Lin Feng’s shoulder and asked curiously. As they progressed along the way, it didn’t feel anything amiss. The toxic smoke from the Poison Dragon Vermilion Fruit could poison all the Red Needle Bee Beasts in a valley, yet it didn’t affect Lin Feng and Tangyuan. Tangyuan was truly curious!

"It’s not that it doesn’t work, but that the toxic smoke can’t get near me." Lin Feng looked at Tangyuan and replied with a smile. The poison from the Poison Dragon Vermilion Fruit was so strong, how could it not have an effect? He had just isolated it using his Divine Sense; otherwise, even he wouldn’t dare to enter!

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s explanation, Tangyuan only then realized what was happening. Scanning around with its eyes, it noticed that indeed there was no black toxic smoke around. Its tiny eyes widened, looking at Lin Feng with a gaze full of amazement. Making toxic smoke stay away seems easy, but doing it is difficult. Blowing it away with a wind-type method is normal, but around Lin Feng, there was no wind, and it couldn’t understand how Lin Feng kept the toxic smoke away.

Amidst Tangyuan’s amazement, Lin Feng did not hesitate to collect some of the Red Needle Bee Beast corpses here and put them into the Space Ring. Although the Red Needle Bee Beast was low-level, their racial talent was really too impressive, just their speed and red poisonous needles were enough to instill fear in everyone. Under these circumstances, selling a few Red Needle Bee Beast corpses to the Beast King Pavilion would probably fetch a lot of Yuan Stones.

After collecting some Red Needle Bee Beast corpses, Lin Feng continued forward. Along the way, the ground was almost covered with the corpses of Red Needle Bee Beasts. Some of them struggled initially as if trying to get up, but merely swayed a bit before lying back down motionless.

In a short time, Lin Feng and Tangyuan reached the depths of the valley. At the valley’s end was a cave, surrounded by darkness, the entire mountain seemed like a giant mouth ready to devour. Looking at the Red Needle Bee Beasts near the cave entrance, Lin Feng raised his eyebrows - this should be where their nest was.

"Boss, should we go in? I guess there are countless Red Needle Bee Beasts waiting for us inside!" Tangyuan trembled at the sight of the dark cave entrance, its voice shaking. Because all who had ventured into the Red Needle Bee Beast’s nest before had perished, there must be many Red Needle Bee Beasts inside, and escaping with Lin Feng seemed unlikely.

"No rush, let me think of a plan." Lin Feng was not in a hurry. Staring at the cave entrance, he began to ponder, releasing poison again was an option, but he feared that Scarlet Beauty inside would be affected, which would be troublesome. But charging in was not viable either, so what should he do?

Suddenly, Lin Feng’s gaze fell on a nearby spot with a large stone, inspiring a new plan!

Lin Feng quickly approached the large stone, then stored it in the Space Ring. He then ran to the cave entrance, examined it carefully, and said to Tangyuan: "I will seal this entrance with the stone. You stay further away and lure them out, I’ll kill them one by one from here!"

"Ah!" Tangyuan was scared stiff by Lin Feng’s arrangement, staying farther isn’t safe either; if one gets out, wouldn’t it be doomed?

"What ’ah’? Xiao Huo and I will be here. Even if one or two get through, you just run around with them, then lead them back. Xiao Huo and I will kill them then!" Lin Feng instructed Tangyuan directly.

"Oh... is that so?" Relieved by Lin Feng’s explanation, Tangyuan felt a bit more secure, especially with Lin Feng being capable and having the Fire Spirit to guard the entrance, it should be fine. But suddenly realizing a new problem, it said to Lin Feng: "That’s doable, but Boss, the valley is filled with toxic smoke, where do I hide?"

Lin Feng realized the trouble as Tangyuan spoke, considered the problem seriously, then replied: "You stand on my shoulder, leave this entrance’s guarding to Xiao Huo!"

"Ah! How is that possible?" Tangyuan was taken aback, leaving the entrance to the Fire Spirit alone, how could it be?

"Bang!"

Lin Feng tapped Tangyuan lightly, silencing it. He then summoned the Fire Spirit, instructing it to set up the Eternal Divine Flame’s fire wall at the entrance, to burn anything that attempted to cross!

After all preparations were done, Lin Feng looked at the dark cave entrance and suddenly released the large stone, which smashed into the entrance!

"Boom!"

The stone fell, causing a loud noise as the valley seemed to shake, perfectly sealing the entrance, leaving only a small face-sized hole. The Fire Spirit immediately used the Eternal Divine Flame to close off the entrance, forming a three to four-meter high super fire wall, while altering the flame’s color to nearly transparent....

"Buzz!"

As the fire wall was just set up, a Red Needle Bee Beast rushed out but was instantly burned by the fire wall before it could escape, seemingly provoked. The Red Needle Bee Beasts inside the cave desperately tried to fly out, targeting the nearby Lin Feng...

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

...

One after another flew out, each turning into a burst of flame, and finally burned to ashes. Yet the relentless determination of the Red Needle Bee Beasts persisted. Before long, near the cave entrance, nearly a hundred red needles had piled up. No one knew what these red needles were made of, as even the Eternal Divine Flame couldn’t consume them!

An hour passed, and the Red Needle Bee Beasts emerging from the cave entrance decreased in number. Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled, for it was likely that there weren’t many Red Needle Bee Beasts left inside. Just as Lin Feng predicted, after only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, no more Red Needle Bee Beasts appeared.

Still, Lin Feng wasn’t entirely relieved. He cautiously approached the cave entrance and unleashed a few Fist Aura strikes inside. Instantly, a thunderous roar echoed from within the cave...

After waiting outside for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and seeing no Red Needle Bee Beasts appear, Lin Feng finally withdrew the Fire Spirit and collected the countless red tail needles into the Space Ring. Afterward, he entered the cave with Tangyuan.

With a snap of his fingers, the Fire Spirit appeared like a bright lamp, illuminating far ahead. Out of caution, Lin Feng released his Divine Sense, ready to handle any potential situation.

What followed was unexpected for Lin Feng. They arrived at the place of the hive and beheld a giant beehive towering dozens of meters high. Even Lin Feng was stunned; such a colossal beehive underground was an unimaginable sight without seeing it firsthand.

Seeing the beehive completely empty, Lin Feng knew there were really no more Red Needle Bee Beasts here. He pondered seriously for a moment, now wondering where the Bee King of this Red Needle Bee Beast colony had gone, for it was nowhere to be seen.

With this doubt, Lin Feng began searching for the Bee King in the hive. Yet, after thoroughly investigating the entire hive, Lin Feng still hadn’t found the Bee King, leaving him perplexed. Could it be that the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm lacked a Bee King?

Tangyuan, observing Lin Feng’s manner, grew curious and asked, "Boss, what are you looking for?"

"Looking for the Bee King and the Scarlet Beauty you mentioned!" Lin Feng replied immediately, but his eyes continued scanning the massive hive, with no clues for either.

"What is a Bee King? You mean the leader of these Red Needle Bee Beasts?" Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Tangyuan immediately inquired, having never heard the term!

"Yeah!" Lin Feng responded, looking at Tangyuan, wondering if Tangyuan knew something.

"No one has ever seen the leader of the Red Needle Bee Beasts. So, let’s be cautious. Our primary goal now is finding the Scarlet Beauty; that is our real aim!" Tangyuan explained simply, advising Lin Feng to remain careful. Currently, finding Scarlet Beauty is most important; it’s of incredible value!

Listening to Tangyuan’s words, Lin Feng nodded. Since the Bee King couldn’t be found, it’d be best to focus on finding the Scarlet Beauty. But he had no idea where in this enormous hive the Scarlet Beauty could be located. So he closed his eyes and expanded his Divine Sense, beginning a detailed examination of the hive’s contents.

Before long, he discovered that each hive’s bottom was red—a realization struck him: could the Scarlet Beauty be like Earth’s Mortal World’s honey, residing at the bottom of each hive?

Thinking this, he quickly approached a nearby hive and noticed a film resembling wax at the bottom. With a casual finger beam, he broke the film, and red nectar flowed out instantly, releasing an exotic fragrance that was refreshing!

"Wow, so Scarlet Beauty is here. My gods, with such a massive hive, imagine how much Scarlet Beauty must be here!" Seeing the Scarlet Beauty, Tangyuan’s eyes brightened, almost fainting from happiness. Within just one hive, there’s a sufficient amount the size of half a watermelon on this huge hive. How much more Scarlet Beauty could be produced? This... this is simply incalculable. It’s too wonderful, so wonderful that it’s dizzying!

Witnessing this scene, Lin Feng also smiled, casually taking out a metal Dharma Treasure, using the Eternal Divine Flame to forge something resembling a ladle. Then he quickly retrieved other metals and crafted one Heavenly Origin Treasure Box after another.

Tangyuan took the ladle-like tool and incessantly moved between the hive and Lin Feng, filling one Heavenly Origin Treasure Box after another with ladlefuls of Scarlet Beauty...
