Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1103 - 1045: Gathering the Light of the Red Star

At this moment, the operating apparatus is slowly transferring the essence of the drop of liquid from the Divine Crystal Vial to the Demon Bottle on the other side. But the Demon Bottle only faintly formed a tiny bubble, and it’s unknown how long it will take to replicate a complete drop.

Huang Yi tentatively reached out his hand and picked up the Divine Crystal Vial, looking closely at the drop of liquid inside.

The drop of liquid wasn’t anything special; if it wasn’t loaded in the Divine Crystal Vial but in any other container, it would completely be seen as an ordinary drop of water, unaware of its preciousness.

With a shake of his palm, Huang Yi directly stored the Divine Crystal Vial into the storage ring. Just the vial itself was already a rare treasure.

As for the other Demon Bottle, it was firmly fixed together with the apparatus, unable to be taken out separately, so he could only give up.

After stealing this mysterious liquid, Huang Yi’s incarnation on the Hero’s Continent immediately took the Divine Crystal Vial out of the shared storage ring and handed it to Filter Liquid.

Filter Liquid, as if obtaining a treasure, hurriedly started researching in the laboratory. However, to fully understand what that drop of liquid was, it would take some time; it couldn’t be immediately discerned.

...

In the Blood Moon Continent, Huang Yi’s true self left the basement, returning above ground from the spiral staircase.

He descended the mountain directly, leaving Blood Castle.

As soon as he left Blood Castle, sunlight shone down again, as if suddenly arriving in another world, the previous dark and oppressive feeling vanished instantly. The desolated buildings and occasional apparitions were like a distant nightmare.

Huang Yi turned back to look at the Blood Castle behind him, dense buildings still shrouded under those ever lingering dark clouds, hiding unknown secrets.

This time, he achieved his goal of the trip, found traces of the Nagas, and explored Blood Castle. Unfortunately, the door in the study couldn’t be opened, unable to see the scene inside.

But he had no time to continue exploring here, he needed to return to the Beehive and monitor the Insect Race!

He immediately utilized the Teleportation Ring, his figure disappeared from where he stood, directly crossing countless distances, teleporting to the region near the Beehive.

The Teleportation Ring was gifted to Huang Yi during his Third-tier Trial by a player who played "Legendary" with him in an internet café over a hundred years ago. After the Third-tier Trial ended, the ring remained. The ring has an active skill called [Teleport], allowing teleportation to previously visited places, even across continents, with only a ten-day cooldown.

After the teleportation ended, Huang Yi reappeared on the vast prairie.

At this moment, a few people were already standing around: Overlord, Qing Ming, He Tu, Young Master Luo will Lead You, Youth with Middle School Syndrome. They were distantly gazing at the horizon, faces showing confusion, whispering to each other.

Seeing Huang Yi suddenly appear, they all stopped talking at once.

"What are you discussing?" Huang Yi asked.

"Brother Yi, the Insect Race is busily flying in and out of the Beehive, we don’t know what they’re doing, we’re all speculating!" Young Master Luo will Lead You pointed towards that distant Beehive.

Huang Yi turned to look.

At the end of his vision stood an egg-shaped Beehive, densely covered in countless hexagonal holes, each hole identical in size, exuding a geometric aesthetic.

At this moment, dense Bee Insects were flying in and out of the hexagonal holes one after another. After flying out of the Beehive, they wandered aimlessly in the air, and after some time returned inside the Beehive, busily flying out again without seeming to accomplish anything.

Huang Yi, with his excellent vision capability, focused and carefully observed.

He soon vaguely discovered that the red star light above the Beehive seemed slightly fainter than other places.

Moreover, the Bee Insects entering the Beehive were slightly redder than those flying out.

It appeared as if the light of the Red Star was being collected by the Bee Insects and delivered inside the Beehive.

"It seems they’re collecting the light of the Red Star and transporting it inside the Beehive, possibly to brew Divine Nectar!" Huang Yi speculated.

"It’s possible!" Young Master Luo will Lead You nodded, "The Blood Moon Continent is the continent of The Second World closest to the Red Star, rich in Red Star light. The Red Star is also the source of the Divine Artifact’s Cui Guang, closely tied to Divine Power. It’s plausible that the Bee Insects came especially to the Blood Moon Continent to collect Red Star light to brew Divine Nectar."

"We need to monitor carefully, I’ve already found out that the Nagas are likely here for the Insect Race too! It might interfere with our plans!" Huang Yi warned.

...

Huang Yi and the others were monitoring the Beehive, but could only see the outside, unaware of the internal structure. Inside the vast Beehive, the core area was called the King’s Platform, where Zhuó Yèhuá, the leader of this group of Bee Insects, resided.

In front of him was a pool containing a viscous liquid with a meat mass soaking inside. From a small hole in the meat mass, maggots were continuously crawling out, entering the pool. Those maggots quickly absorbed the viscous liquid in the pool, growing visibly larger.

The liquid in the pool was made from the nutrient solution processed from deceased Bee Insect corpses. The meat mass soaking inside was the ovary bestowed by the Queen of Agony. Zhuó Yèhuá offered his lifelong effort to mate with the ovary, resulting in a large number of larvae inside. After absorbing the nutrient solution, the larvae grow rapidly, greatly replenishing the number of Bee Insects, accelerating the honey brewing speed dozens of times.

At this moment, Zhuó Yèhuá looked extremely fatigued, even flying seemed problematic, standing dumbly beside the pool with folded wings. After mating with the ovary, his power drastically reduced, originally at Two Steps Heaven level, now below the Ascension Stage.

However, his eyes were filled with anticipation. Once the task of brewing the Divine Nectar was completed, he would see the Queen of Agony and receive her reward, enough to compensate for the loss.

"Once I receive the reward from the Queen of Agony, what does Fànyú matter?" Zhuó Yèhuá imagined receiving the reward, recalling the humiliation suffered from Fànyú, the Demon Clan’s leader on the Blood Moon Continent, muttering gloomily to himself.
