Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1116 - 1057: The Whereabouts of the Secretion

Xue Tianyu rushed through the complex passageways of the beehive, brushing past countless bee insects.

He chose inconspicuous shortcuts, eager to leave the place quickly and present the stolen Divine Nectar to Hong Lin and the others, avoiding any complications.

At that moment, Xue Tianyu ducked into a pitch-dark passage. It was a secluded area where hardly anyone passed through.

But as soon as he entered, he stopped abruptly, staring ahead in horror.

In the shadows ahead stood a figure. The person was dressed in a black monk’s robe, had a bald head, and stood contemplatively with hands behind his back, towering like a majestic mountain overlooking him.

The figure was none other than the demonic leader of Blood Moon Continent—Fànyú!

Now, the way forward was blocked!

Fànyú stared at Xue Tianyu, walking step by step towards him like a mountain pressing down, a majestic voice suppressing, "Xue Tianyu, today is your best chance. Zhuó Yèhuá is inside the beehive; you must kill him immediately. Then, I can present the Divine Nectar to the Agony Queen myself."

Xue Tianyu shivered and nodded, his voice trembling, "I came to the beehive this time to assassinate Zhuó Yèhuá. I’ve just discovered he’s in the honeycomb where the Honey Pool is located, but his strength has restored significantly. I’m rushing out now to gather my Blood Clan followers to assassinate him together."

Fànyú nodded slightly and said casually, "Then be efficient in your actions and leave no trace." With that, he slightly turned his body, making way through the passage.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Xue Tianyu bowed his head, daring not to look at Fànyú, and hurried past him, leaving the passage.

Fànyú watched Xue Tianyu leave down the passage, eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Using his utmost speed, Xue Tianyu frantically raced along the beehive. He wanted nothing more than to leave the place at once; the encounters with Zhuó Yèhuá and Fànyú nearly scared him to death. He only wanted to safely hand over the Divine Nectar to Hong Lin and the others in exchange for the antidote to relieve the snake poison within his body and temporarily secure his life.

Finally, Xue Tianyu left the massive beehive and sped directly toward Hong Lin and the others.

After flying for a while, he saw in the grass ahead reflected patches of snake scales glinting with dazzling moonlight — precisely where the Nagas were hiding.

Xue Tianyu quickly descended, shook the Divine Crystal Vial holding the Divine Nectar in excitement, "Lord Hong Lin, I’ve stolen the Divine Nectar!"

The crowd of Nagas immediately became excited, with Hong Lin at the head, twisting his snake tail and swiftly moving forward, saying, "Excellent! Now the Gorgon Chieftain’s injuries can be completely healed!" He reached out, eager to take the Divine Crystal Vial. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Xue Tianyu pulled back his hand, guarding the vial to his chest, stammering, "Lord, Lord Hong Lin, you said before that as long as I gave you the stolen Divine Nectar first, you’d give me the antidote to the snake poison. Now I’ve stolen the nectar, is it time...?"

Hong Lin’s eyes flickered with a hint of displeasure but he suppressed it and nodded affably, "Of course, Nagas are noble and keep their word."

With a wave of his hand, a small green snake under ten centimeters appeared, coiled tightly, flicking its slender tongue. He handed it to Xue Tianyu, "This is the Poisonous snake eater, swallow it, and it will absorb the snake poison in your body."

Xue Tianyu cautiously inspected the small snake, hesitantly saying, "Will this truly neutralize the snake poison within me?"

Hong Lin’s expression turned cold, speaking icily, "What, don’t you believe me? I’m offering this Poisonous snake eater as a favor; do you really think you can protect that vial of Divine Nectar? If I decided to seize it, you’d have no chance to resist!" With that, he unleashed an intimidating aura, fiercely oppressing Xue Tianyu.

Xue Tianyu’s body was instantly subjected to intense pressure, barely able to breathe. His face turned red, veins bulging as though ready to burst, struggling to say, "Lord, please calm down, I, I believe you!"

Only then did Hong Lin release the oppressive aura, tossing the small snake toward Xue Tianyu.

Xue Tianyu quickly reached out, catching the small snake. It was cold and slithered along his palm, flicking its snake tongue, exuding an ominous aura.

Xue Tianyu stared at the snake, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately opened his mouth helplessly and swallowed it whole.

He instantly felt the snake writhing in his stomach; every inch of sensation was starkly real. Meanwhile, the cold snake poison within him began converging toward the snake as if being absorbed.

Xue Tianyu felt slightly relieved, then handed the Divine Crystal Vial over respectfully, "Thank you, Lord, for detoxifying me. This is the Divine Nectar I’ve stolen."

Hong Lin took the vial, carefully examining it.

The bottle contained a colorless, transparent liquid that swayed gently, seemingly radiating a peculiar allure.

They had come from the First World, tirelessly, for this one small vial, and now it was finally in hand.

Hong Lin held the Divine Crystal Vial tightly, calming his excitement, turning to the other Nagas, "We’ve secured the Divine Nectar, we shall return immediately to the First World to present it to the Gorgon Chieftain!"

Just then, Xue Tianyu urgently called out to him, "Lord Hong Lin, once the small snake inside me absorbs all the toxins, how should I remove it?"

Hong Lin glanced back at Xue Tianyu, a sly, mocking grin on his lips, "No need to remove it; it will remain dormant in your body. If this vial of Divine Nectar is truly effective and heals the Gorgon Chieftain, the small snake will stay quietly within you without any trouble. But if the nectar is ineffective, you’ll be in danger; the small snake will gnaw at your insides slowly, tormenting you until you wish for death... Hehe."

With that, they turned and left, soon disappearing beyond the horizon.

Xue Tianyu stood there, stunned, watching the direction of their departure, unmoving for a long time.

Meanwhile, far away, Huang Yi and others were heading toward the beehive...

There might not be an update tomorrow; I need to go to the hospital for a regular check-up. I also need to think about how to write the next part, as there are two possible plot directions, and I’m not sure which will be more exciting.
