Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!
Chapter 368: Killing the Queen Bee, Filling one of the Class Job Requirements! (3)

Still not done, after hitting the wall of the hive, the thick roots originating from the cursed burial — keep wriggling ominously — lashed toward the direction of the queen bee. Creating a crisp sound through the atmosphere before landing on the bare body of the queen bee, generating countless red marks and shallow wounds in the process.

"An opportunity!"

Seeing an opportunity in front of him, not expecting that the condensed misfortune would take effect in an instant, Leo waved his palm toward the direction of the queen bee, causing the shadows around to morph before transforming into countless chains that abruptly bind the queen bee to her location.

Buzz— (This—)

Amidst the queen bee's shock, the chains that abruptly coiled around her body began constricting greatly, putting forth unprecedented pressure throughout her physique as a faint creaking sound soon echoed within her.

Her exoskeleton began to crack slightly as her compound eyes finally showed considerable fear. However, despite this, the hatred within couldn't be concealed — gazing at the humanoid abomination in the distance venomously as if she couldn't wait to kill him.

Buzz, Buzz— (Just a little bit; my blood essence rule might have little effect on you, but poison, heh. They can corrode anything!)

Thinking of it, the queen bee gritted her mandibles; her eyes, despite showing pain, glowed venomously.

Blood Poison!

Mumbling those words through her gritted teeth and as if her words carried a mystical secret, Leo, who was approaching the queen bee while killing the immobilized bees around him, suddenly sensed a dangerous feeling within his body. His illusionary blood, which was flowing freely, suddenly began sizzling, as if it had been thrown into magma, as blisters began appearing on his skin.

If one looked closer, one would see the familiar tendrils of blood vessels coursing through his innards — a product of the skill that the queen bee had used earlier.

Unfortunately, due to the unexpected strength shown by Leo, the queen bee was forced to utilize the trap she had set on Leo's body early on. Although it's quite disappointing, if she didn't use it, she might lose her life first before an opportunity finally arrives.

Ding!

[ Affected by poison... Overall stats were momentarily reduced by 10%... ]

[ Affected by poison... Health would continuously reduce by 5 every second... ]

In an instant, after the notification appeared in front of him, a feeling of weakness suddenly engulfed Leo's being — his speed, dexterity, and even his senses suffered vague suppression as he hurriedly manipulated his rules, planning to forcefully drive off the poison within his body.

Unfortunately, before he could start his plan, the sound of countless annoying buzzing entered his ears.

The bees around, which were waiting from afar (due to the command of the queen bee earlier), suddenly unfolded in the distance, flapping their wings with intensity as they unisonly fired countless pressurized lasers made of thick blood toward Leo's direction.

Spew- Spew-

Weakened and speed reduced, Leo could only counter with qi bullets to intercept most of the pressurized blood. However, despite that, some of them still hit his body, creating various wounds that unfolded the illusionary flesh within — wriggling as their chilling sight entered through the compound eyes of the further enraged bees.

Ding!

-10 health.

+8 health. (Coming from the dying immortal skill)

-10 health.

Witch Doctor Knowledge: Owl of Life!

Seeing his health reduced by 100 in just a second, Leo's expression finally faltered. His eyes, transitioning between gray and black, suddenly release a brilliance as a carving of an owl, made from wood, suddenly projects through the atmosphere — spreading a warm glow as everything under it begins healing at a slow speed.

Including the half-dead, immobilized bees scattered around!

"This. Have you already lost your mind?! Why would you release a healing skill that could heal foes?!"

Seeing the wounds on the bees on the ground begin healing, bringing them back from certain death, the soul parasite within Leo's body couldn't help but curse out loud. Its soul senses surge upward before scanning Leo's being, afraid that he had finally been affected by the complete rules of this place... However, fortunately, the thing it feared didn't occur; instead, it faintly saw a smirk on the corner of Leo's lips.

[ Congratulations upon healing a being with witch doctor skill (51/100) ]

[ Congratulations upon healing a being with witch doctor skill (52/100) ]

Ding!

[ Congratulations... ]

...

"I finally understand it; since most of the immobilized bees were caused by friendly fire, healing them could be counted as completing the class job requirements..."

As the thought flashed by inside his mind, Leo then opened his inventory, taking out dozens of puppets within before activating them simultaneously.

Although their combat capabilities might be far from the core formation realm, buying him time to heal the damage he took was enough.

"Moreover..."

Taking out a fist-sized translucent liquid from his inventory that he secretly took earlier after teleporting behind the queen bee, causing the strong scent of herbs to surge forth around him, Leo's eyes then silently turn a darker shade as the information of the translucent liquid reflected in his eyes.

Ding!

[ Royal Honey: A honeycomb created by the queen bee using a hundred precious herbs that were above the second grade.

Effect 1: Consuming a pound of it could permanently increase overall stats by 3 and lifespan by 1 month... However, its effects would start deteriorating upon consuming 100 pounds of it until it no longer contributes stats.

Effects 2: Prolonged consumption of royal honey could increase the resistance of the soul regarding destructive might.

Effects 3: Upon consumption, health, stamina, mana, and mental recovery would increase by 500% for an hour! ]

...

Gulping the saliva forming in his throat, Leo immediately consumed the royal honey in his hand.

In an instant, after the consumption, the gelatinous texture of the royal honey entered his throat, spreading forth a warmness that couldn't be explained by a few words.

Soon, as Leo was marveling at the comfortable sensation, the royal honey inside his body suddenly liquefied — turning into a huge burst of energy that coursed through his physique. Splitting into countless threads that spread equally around his being, drilling into his flesh before strengthening them in the process.
