Chapter 233: Chapter 231: Bees Under the Cave_1

Eric Reed, feeling exhausted, led Owen Bertram and the others back to George Estate. After finally finding an excuse to get rid of the others, he gathered his subordinates: "Did you report yesterday’s news to Lord Prescott?"

The subordinates looked at each other.

"Did you report it?"

"I thought you did."

"I was watched closely and thought someone else would find the opportunity."

"There are ten of us; surely, not all of us failed to send the message?"

Listening to them, Eric Reed was almost furious: these useless fools! Everyone thought someone else had the chance to pass on the message, but in the end, it didn’t get out.

"Sir, should we report to Lord Prescott now?"

Eric Reed glared at the fellow. He had already returned, so what was there to report? However, on second thought, since Owen Bertram and the others didn’t gain much at Bamboo Slope, informing Lord Prescott in advance seemed unimportant.

"Forget that this ever happened; no one is allowed to mention it again!" He ordered them to keep their mouths shut.

"Yes!"

...

Owen Bertram stealthily left George Estate at night, making sure he wasn’t discovered by Eric Reed or his men, and that no one was secretly keeping an eye on him. The only person who noticed his departure was David, the scoundrel, who deliberately turned over in bed.

Owen headed straight for River Water and handed the Sensation Talisman to Little Loach.

With the talisman in its mouth, Little Loach played around, swimming back and forth on the river’s surface. Owen urged, "Stop playing around and get to work."

Little Loach didn’t listen, humming and whining that he was hungry.

Owen slapped his forehead, at a loss with Little Loach. He didn’t have many precious magical instruments left, and he hadn’t decided whether to offer the Golden Coffin to the Ghost Zone or let Little Loach eat it.

"Follow the sensation from this talisman and search underwater. If my information is correct, there should be plenty of delicious and sophisticated magical instruments to eat."

Really?!

Little Loach was overjoyed, wagging its tail vigorously.

Elder Brother gave a smile like a kindly aunt: "Of course, it’s true."

Wait till you find a group of bees too lowly to eat... my information will be wrong, but don’t blame me, blame... Ethereal Devin! Yes, it’s his fault, not mine.

Little Loach eagerly dove towards the underwater caves. As it swam, its body quickly shrank, so that when it reached the cave entrance, it was only about a foot long and swiftly darted in.

The underwater caves were intricate, like a maze. With the talisman’s guidance, Little Loach corrected itself even when it got lost or took a wrong turn.

As Owen waited, he couldn’t help but wonder: why did the sensation come from underwater?

Were those really the Element-devouring Bees? If so, how did the bee swarm end up in the water?

Little Loach dived deeper and deeper into the darkness. Its eyes emitted a faint golden light, allowing it to see everything around it clearly. Suddenly, a bright spot appeared in front, dancing like a firefly in the dark river water.

The Sensation Talisman in Little Loach’s mouth clearly informed it: target found.

Little Loach hurriedly chased it, but the bright spot was surprisingly fast. Moreover, it relied on its small size to weave through various gaps, leaving Little Loach unable to catch up for a moment.

However, Little Loach finally saw that this thing was, in fact, a bee.

The bee, the size of a baby’s fist, had wings that should have been used for flying, but in the water, they paddled like oars. Its tail had only one poisonous stinger that couldn’t serve as a rudder, so its directional control was rather clumsy.

As the waterway widened, Little Loach finally caught up with the bee. It stretched out its length from one foot to ten feet.

Little Loach’s huge white horned head moved alongside the Element-devouring Bee. Its eyeballs were even bigger than the bee, and as they traveled in sync, Little Loach’s eyes followed the little bee closely.

Element-devouring Bees weren’t individually strong, and their intelligence could be ignored. When this huge creature suddenly appeared beside it, the bee had no reaction, continuing to follow its predetermined path.

Little Loach also noticed that the direction the bee was going had more "sensations."

Thus, a huge creature and a small bee traveled side by side for several miles through the water. Gradually, the water flow around them became more turbulent, and the water temperature rose rapidly.

Both the large and small creatures suddenly broke through a layer of water film, and an empty space greeted them on the other side. The Element-devouring Bee, experienced in traversing such barriers, shook off the water droplets on its wings and smoothly took off with only a slight sink after crossing.

Caught off guard and burdened by its huge body and enormous inertia, Little Loach plunged downwards.

Glancing back, the water film, with an unknown prohibition emitting a faint red radiance, stopped the river water behind it, looking like a tall water wall, which was quite spectacular from their side.

Looking down, the water wall was hundreds of feet high, with the bottom like a fiery abyss emitting torrents of heat. The little bee they had been chasing earlier was already flying upwards at an angle. On the opposite side of the water film, the surface of the steep rock wall seemed to be coated with a layer of faint red glaze.

A large group of Element-devouring Bees gathered in the cracks of the glazed rock wall.

Seemingly fearful of the heat from the lava below, they all perched as high up as possible.

Stretching upwards, the rock wall formed a curved top. Compared to the rock wall, the crystalline formations on the rock top were thicker and darker, reminiscent of coagulated blood clots.

Countless white silk strands connected the cracks in the crystalline rock to a huge, colorful beehive!

These Element-devouring Bees had actually built another hive here!

While rapidly descending, Little Loach twisted its body frantically, its whiskers quickly lengthening and preparing to pierce the rock wall to hang itself up.

But suddenly, Little Loach tilted its head, recalling something: it seemed that it wasn’t afraid of lava, so why panic?

So, Little Loach opened its mouth wide and laughed. Its massive body stretched out, adopting a comfortable pose as it crashed into the lava below with a rumble.

Water splashed everywhere!

Little Loach felt surrounded by warmth, finding swimming in the lava even more enjoyable than swimming in water.

So, it frolicked inside the lava.
