Epic of Bee-Chapter 220 Hexi, And Breeding Problems
I didn't think that this was a good idea, but I knew that Atom wasn't joking, and something like that could get one of them hurt or the snake killed. I immediately moved forward and pushed my finger to the snake's body.
My finger produced a needle that pressed into the snake's skin, but then I kept my hand on the snake and pressed the other four to it. The single dose of BeeBliss was not going to be enough to heal something this big, and I would have to do more.
I wanted to heal this creature and help calm the firestorm of emotions raging inside the snake. I pushed my will to make what I wanted a reality, and I felt the Nectargey start to move in my body, but it was the MECA Nectargey that poured out of me.
The snake started to glow, and the cuts and wounds it had started to heal and seal up. I pressed my will to go up and beyond, and more energy poured from me.
Thick golden hexagons started to form on the snake's body that was three feet in diameter. I watched as they covered the body, and then the blue like my own filled them, glowing softly, and I received the request that I was hoping for.
[Queen System] Activated!
[Would you like to make the CRYSTAL HEXAGON PYTHON your pet?] Yes/No?
Yes.
Hexi, my new pets burst with light, and I floated back as a notification popped up.
[Snakespeak] Learned!
"Why?!" Hexi hissed a cry as she floated in front of me, no more than two feet long.
"Don't worry, my little pet, I will take good care of you, and then you will grow big again," I said as I reached out and took ahold of Hexi, releasing the GraviBee Field, and she was able to slither up my arm.
"I don't care about my size. Why did you help me and not kill me? I would have killed you if you hadn't held me!" Hexi hissed at me, and I grinned.
"I think you look pretty, and I like snakes. I also don't think that you are an evil creature, just trying to survive. I can't show this mercy to every creature that we find, but I wanted to help you," I explained, and Hexi slithered the rest of the way up my arm and then coiled loosely around my neck.
"What just happened?" Hamble asked from behind me, but then I heard smack and turned to see Hamble rubbing the back of his head.
"What does it matter?! She is obviously some Goddess, and you ask something stupid like that! She tamed a fifty-foot snake and turned it into a garden snake; what else is there to explain, you dimwit!" Maurice said, throwing his hands into the air in frustration.
"I am not a Goddess, but yes, that is the gist of what I did. Come, let's get going; we still have two miles and three groups of monsters to fight before we reach the boss," I said, but then Hamble put up his hand, and I tried not to look amused as I motioned for him to speak.
"What's a Gist? And Boss? Of what?" Hamble asked and then dodge a swing from Maurice. "Hey! I don't know the answer, so I am asking! There is no such thing as a stupid question if you don't know the answer! Bill says that all the time!" ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢
"That's because Bill doesn't spend every day with you!" Maurice retorted, and the two looked like they were about to get in a scrap.
"Enough, I just said we have to get going, so either you two follow along or stay here and squabble," I said as I turned and floated forward.
? Thanos was already waiting at the next tunnel entrance; already shrunk back down, or he would have had to crawl on the floor to get through. Tigra was already waiting on the other side of the next cavern, but a pair of Behemoths were doing something in the next chamber.
"Tigra, what are the monsters doing in the next room? I looked like they are fighting, but I am only getting elevated heart rates and no damage registering. What is going on in there?" I asked and then almost choked on my tongue at the single-word reply I got.
"Breeding," Tigra reported plainly. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦
Breeding? I guess so, but what was I supposed to do? They were monsters, but it was still the principal of the matter.
"Is there a way around them?" I asked, but I didn't think there would be.
"No, the paths behind you don't lead this way and are just dead ends with nothing in them," Tigra explained, and I let out a sign.
"What's wrong?" Helaina asked me, and I shook my head.
"There are two Behemoths up ahead, and they are breeding," I said, but Helaina lifted her eyebrow at me.
"Okay, and what else?" Helaina asked as we got closer to the grunting noises.
"Nothing else, but I don't want to interrupt the monster," I said like it should be obvious, but Helaina gave me a pained look.
"Ashia, they are monsters, and when they are done with the deep penetration, they are going to go back to wanting to penetrate us with their horns! You should be killing them while you have the chance!" Helaina said, but I shook my head.
"No, I think that there needs to be something else that I can do. Not everything needs to be killed, plus I would like to be able to raise some of these creatures one day. Now would be a good time to learn a thing or two, don't you think?" I asked, but Helaina gave me a tired look and shook her head.
"Whatever you say. I am just a passenger at this point, and I just have to hope that you know what you are doing," Helaina said with a sigh.
