Chapter 2356: Chapter 2335: Source Crystal

After a full half day, with the cooperation of Lin Feng and Tangyuan, they finally collected all the Scarlet Beauty inside the giant beehive, leaving Tangyuan so exhausted that its little tongue was hanging out. However, when Lin Feng handed Tangyuan a Heavenly Origin Treasure Box, Tangyuan immediately seemed revitalized, holding onto a box bigger than its own body and started drinking the Scarlet Beauty with gusto.

"Gulp gulp..."

In no time, Tangyuan had drunk up all the Scarlet Beauty inside a Heavenly Origin Treasure Box, its little tongue circling around its mouth, still unsatisfied. Lin Feng was speechless; it seemed like Tangyuan could eat endless amounts, making him more and more curious about what Tangyuan’s stomach was like. This internal space of its, it was simply baffling!

"Boss, how much Scarlet Beauty did we get in total?" Seeing Lin Feng’s gaze, Tangyuan felt a bit embarrassed and immediately changed the subject, now extremely interested in this!

"Not much, just over a thousand Heavenly Origin Treasure Boxes," Lin Feng replied with a smile. He hadn’t expected the giant beehive to be so productive. But with these Scarlet Beauty, he could do many things! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"A thousand... over a thousand?" Upon hearing this, Tangyuan’s eyes nearly popped out. It hadn’t expected the number to be so large. Previously, it had been busy collecting the Scarlet Beauty while Lin Feng was refining the Heavenly Origin Treasure Boxes. Filling one and then putting it away one by one without counting them, it now realized how impressive the quantity was!

Looking at Lin Feng, what Tangyuan saw was no longer a person but a mountain made of Yuan Stone, a giant Yuan Stone Mountain with no bounds. Before, Scarlet Beauty appeared in small bottles, each valued at thousands of Yuan Stone, which shows how abundant this harvest was.

"Let’s take another good look around," Lin Feng said after glancing around, and then he started carefully exploring the area surrounding the beehive. He felt something was off—why would the Bee King suddenly disappear? It didn’t make any sense.

After they roamed around once, they didn’t find anything different. Lin Feng then turned his gaze to the beehive. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he asked Tangyuan, "When you were collecting the Scarlet Beauty earlier, did you notice anything inside the beehive?"

"Inside the beehive? Didn’t notice anything?" Tangyuan asked in surprise upon hearing Lin Feng’s question, not understanding what he meant.

"I suspect the Bee King should be inside the beehive, and I estimate there must be a more pure form of Scarlet Beauty there!" Lin Feng said seriously to Tangyuan, reasoning that on Earth’s Mortal World, there was royal jelly. He didn’t believe there wasn’t a similar existence here.

Upon hearing this, Tangyuan’s eyes lit up and immediately said to Lin Feng, "Boss, let me go check!"

With that, Tangyuan transformed into a white light, rushing up to the beehive, waving the large water gourd. Soon it created a large hole in the beehive, and as soon as the hole was opened, a shocked cry from Tangyuan was heard!

"Oh my God!"

Afterwards, Tangyuan stumbled down from the top of the beehive. Seeing this, Lin Feng was also very surprised and moved quickly to support the falling Tangyuan, asking, "What happened?"

"Boss... you... you better see it for yourself!" Tangyuan’s face turned extremely unpleasant, seeming unwilling to recall what it had just seen!

This made Lin Feng even more curious. He immediately extended his divine sense through the large hole Tangyuan had created, and what he discovered inside the beehive changed his expression dramatically...

Inside the beehive, there was no Bee King as expected; instead, countless maggots were wriggling. These maggots were all pink, with red needle bee beasts about to emerge from within them. The number of red needle bee beasts was incalculable—if they appeared, neither he nor Tangyuan would even know how they died!

"Xiao Huo, burn it all inside!"

At this moment, Lin Feng couldn’t care about anything else. He ordered Fire Spirit Xiao Huo to burn the inside of the beehive. Following Lin Feng’s commands, Fire Spirit Xiao Huo flew into the hole, and almost instantly, the entire beehive began to melt against the mountain, starting to burn. The enormous beehive held on for less than a tea’s time before melting completely. The waxy liquid covered the entire space floor several feet deep, but without Lin Feng’s command, the raging fire continued to burn fiercely.

What Lin Feng didn’t expect was that after the giant beehive was destroyed, a black hole leading to the depths appeared at its bottom. Lin Feng immediately instructed Fire Spirit Xiao Huo to burn away the beeswax covering the black hole and then took Tangyuan into the black hole.

The black hole’s walls were very smooth, seemingly covered in beeswax as well. They traveled not far along this path before reaching a hall. In the center of this hall was a huge, round, plump insect as large as a house. It had no legs, its entire body emitting a faint red glow, seemingly a high-level Demon Beast!

Next to this enormous insect were four bug beasts that looked like small bulls, seemingly clad in armor like ants. Each bug beast had a pair of crescent-shaped sickles gleaming coldly, and at this moment, all those crescent-shaped sickles were pointing at Lin Feng!

"Boss, this..." Tangyuan looked at the crescent-shaped sickle, his body shivering with cold Qi, and asked hesitantly.

"This is the bee queen, specifically for laying eggs, and those four insect beasts should be the bee kings!" Lin Feng faced the situation with no hint of tension, and said to Tangyuan calmly, just four bee kings, nothing to worry about!

But at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in Lin Feng’s mind: "Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!"

Immediately, Lin Feng turned his gaze to the massive bee queen and said to her, "Is it you talking to me?"

"It’s me!"

The previously terrified voice appeared again and then said to Lin Feng, "I beg you not to kill me, I don’t want to die..."

"I won’t kill you, but you also need to show some sincerity!" Lin Feng looked at the gigantic bee queen and said calmly. He had come this far, he wouldn’t leave empty-handed, and he wanted the high-grade version of Scarlet Beauty!

"I... I..." The terrified voice hesitated for a moment and then said to Lin Feng, "If I give you something, can you really spare me?"

"I, Lin Feng, am a man of my word." Lin Feng nodded, said simply, and stopped talking further. He waited for the bee queen to present something.

"Okay, I believe you!" That voice hesitated once more, having no choice for survival. Then, the bee queen’s chubby body moved, and she spat out a crystal-like column from her mouth, barely over a foot long and fist-thick, its color a purple-red. After spitting it out, the bee queen immediately looked weakened.

"What is this?" Lin Feng looked at the column that resembled a crystal, feeling very curious, and asked the bee queen.

"This is my origination crystal. This is the best thing I can offer you, don’t underestimate its size, it’s been condensed for over three thousand years!" The bee queen looked at Lin Feng, her tone weak.

"What is its function?" Lin Feng nodded upon hearing the bee queen’s words and casually asked.

"For us Red Needle Bee Beasts, it’s the fundamental element for the clan’s development. The stronger the origination crystal, the stronger the clan’s power. But for humans, I really don’t know..." The bee queen replied truthfully to Lin Feng’s question, indeed not knowing its use for humans, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t a valuable item. After Lin Feng left, it would certainly figure out the use of the origination crystal.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng realized what a treasure the origination crystal was, enhancing a clan’s power. Such an item was defying the natural order. Seeing this, Lin Feng didn’t hold back, raised one hand, and immediately took the origination crystal.

The four bee kings saw Lin Feng had taken the origination crystal and still hadn’t left. They immediately pointed their sickles at Lin Feng, seemingly saying that if he didn’t leave, they’d act!

Seeing this, Lin Feng didn’t say much, turned around, and left the way he came. Not because he was afraid of those four bee kings, but because he felt that since he’d taken the origination crystal, he should keep his word. Moreover, he needed to study the uses of this origination crystal!

Tangyuan stood obediently on Lin Feng’s shoulder without saying anything. But his gaze was fixed on the origination crystal in Lin Feng’s hand, filled with curiosity. How come it had never heard of the Red Needle Bee Beast possessing such an item?

Just as Lin Feng was about to leave the valley, Tangyuan suddenly remembered something, instantly spit out a book from its stomach, and excitedly flipped through the pages with its little claws. Before long, it found a page and then excitedly handed it to Lin Feng, saying: "Boss, look!"

Lin Feng took the book from Tangyuan, glanced at it, and immediately stopped in his tracks. Because the page was about the origination crystal...

Origination Crystal.

The supreme treasure of insect-type demon beasts, its rarity far exceeds the demon core of beast-type demon beasts, being the essence of insect-type demon beasts. Once the crystal is lost, the insect-type demon beast needs to reconvene it, a process that is incredibly lengthy. Typically, only insect-type demon beasts that have lived for thousands of years are found with this.

Usage: Condenses the origin power of insect-type demon beasts. Besides possessing some special abilities of their corresponding insect-type demon beasts, it can be directly refined and absorbed by cultivators, thereby changing the body and granting it the insect-type demon beasts’ super recovery ability, making it the supreme treasure for human cultivators...
