“Boom, boom, boom, boom…”
A series of booming noises was transmitted to the command post through the soul communicator.
On the other hand, the command post was deadly silent at present.
Air Force Battalion One was wiped out…
Indeed, the Air Force Battalion One, the ace fighting squad of the Central Army Corps with a long honorable history and tradition was wiped out just like that.
None of the aircrafts managed to charge through the tight encirclement in time.
Yu Guanzhi instantly clenched his fists until the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.
He never expected the situation to turn out this way.
His chest felt heavy and his lips were tightly pursed.
It was his ace Air Force Battalion One! Had they actually fallen in such a manner?
Meanwhile, thousands of large-scale soul beams finally enshrouded the ‘dark cloud’.
However, the dark cloud broke up and instantly dispersed into the wide open space in the sky.
The thousands of beams only managed to shoot down a small number of the bees. Puffs of grayish mist exploded in the air. The numbers killed were just a drop in the ocean when compared to the large number of giant bees. It was not enough. However, the fifty soul aircrafts equipped with heavy ion beams did not even manage to self-detonate before they were completely annihilated on the battlefield.
It was a tremendous loss to Yu Guanzhi which he could not accept.
In the depth of the abyssal passage.
The Ghost Emperor burst out laughing and gave a thumbs up. “Well done. The abyssal bomb bees live up to their reputation. The Bee Emperor’s trick is simply amazing!”
At present, over a dozen people were standing in the depths of a cavern. Apart from the Ghost Emperor and the Underworld Emperor, the rest of the people exuded different auras, but none of them were powerful.
Upon listening to the Ghost Emperor’s remarks, one of them spoke calmly, “This is nothing but child’s play. You have yet to witness our real power.”
It was the lord of the abyss’ eighth level, the Bee Monarch!
The Bee Monarch had a human form. Actually, all the nine great monarchs of the abyss were in human form.
The Bee Monarch’s rank was superior to the Black Monarch, hence she was unimaginably powerful.
The Bee Monarch looked different from ordinary human beings because of her striking eyes. They were at least double the size of an ordinary person’s. Moreover, her eyes were perfectly round and shimmering with a green glint. Upon closer inspection, her eyes were actually made up of densely-arranged eyelets.
It turned out that those bees were called the abyssal bomb bees. The name ‘bomb bees’ was actually given by the Ghost Emperor.
The most terrifying part about the abyssal bomb bees was not its large numbers but rather its chain of command. Their chain of command was very simple. It came from only one person who was the Bee Monarch.
Each abyssal bomb bee was not only a part of the Bee Monarch’s eyes. In fact, it was a part of the Bee Monarch’s body. All the bomb bees were linked together using some special techniques.
The Bee Monarch was a woman just like the queen bee which controlled the entire bee population in the world of humans. The bomb bees would immediately respond to wherever her consciousness pervaded.
The bomb bees came in exceedingly large numbers. The bees were not especially powerful on their own as they only had two abilities. One was to burn its wings to instantly propel itself to supersonic speed. The other was to self-detonate with terrifying devastation.
Based on its individual fighting capacity, the Bee Monarch was weaker than the Black Monarch. However, when it came to group fighting, the two Black Monarchs leading all the Black Empresses in a group battle were still not the Bee Monarch’s worthy opponent.
In fact, some of the clans ranked higher than her refused to spar with her because of her combat tactics which were way too wild.
At present, some duskgold abyssal bomb bees were still flying above the Bee Monarch’s head. Each bee was about the size of a human head, and they exuded a gloomy, cold aura.
These duskgold abyssal bomb bees were not in large quantities, but the Ghost Emperor knew very well that every single one of these bees were terrifying creatures.
The resurrection of the ordinary bomb bees would take only a moment upon the return of the energy to the abyss. On the other hand, the duskgold abyssal bomb bees needed a much longer time to be resurrected. Furthermore, they were in limited quantities.
At this exact moment, all the abyssal bomb bees had already dispersed into the air rapidly. They maintained a certain distance from one another such that the federal military’s long-range attack would not result in a large-scale massacre. Meanwhile, their current goal was quite simple. It was to thwart all reconnaissance activities.
As compared to the bees, the six-clawed bats were considered cannon fodder.
In the federal military’s command post.
Yu Guanzhi took a deep breath to calm himself. He then said in a deep voice, “Report the statistics and analyze the data.”
Soon, the statistical data was analyzed and reported. The abyssal bomb bee’s attack skill was self-denotation. It produced an exceedingly powerful explosive force the moment it detonated itself.
Naturally, it was not enough to destroy the protective shield of a soul aircraft. However, each soul aircraft was confronted by the lethal blasting of over a hundred bees earlier! Their protective shields failed to withstand the explosive force.
Moreover, all the aviators’ techniques were ineffective when their speeds were not at maximum acceleration when confronted by such an explosion with a wide coverage.
“According to the data analysis, these giant bees can only fly for a limited time after their acceleration. Some of the bees which failed to strike the Air Force Battalion One detonated spontaneously after charging forward for a distance. Hence, the best option is to fully evade them after their acceleration and just wait for them to detonate spontaneously.”
The staff officer analyzed the data. Yet, he could not help smiling bitterly, after he elucidated his analysis.
It would not be an easy feat for one to evade an extensive assault coming at supersonic speed!
One could not help acknowledging the great loss resulting from the fallen Air Force Battalion One. The loss of the aircrafts was secondary. More importantly, losing the flying aces was a crushing blow! It would take a long time to cultivate another batch of fifty flying aces.
“Supreme commander.” A soul communication was connected.
Yu Guanzhi was stunned for a moment.
As the supreme commander of the federal military, only a few great army corps’ regimental commanders and the leaders of great soul masters’ organizations had the authority to contact him via this channel.
The voice sounded familiar. It was precisely the Tang Sect’s Sect Master Tang Wulin.
“What’s the matter, Tang Sect Master?” Yu Guanzhi was about to plot the next step, so he was a little disoriented from the disruption.
“Supreme commander, leave the reconnaissance mission to us. We’ve someone suitable for the reconnoitre,” said Tang Wulin without any hesitation.
“Your people? You witnessed the situation earlier. Can you?” Apparently, Yu Guanzhi was trying to tell Tang Wulin not to sacrifice his people for nothing.
He was actually going to order the long-range troops to launch a round of wide-coverage bombing at Gu Yuena’s reconnoitre location earlier.
Tang Wulin said, “Don’t worry, supreme commander. We’re confident. We’d like to begin the operation immediately with your approval.”
“Sure. Then, I shall wait for your good news.” Yu Guanzhi agreed without the slightest hesitation.
In order to ensure an accurate target to produce the greatest impact with the bombing, it would be wonderful if they had accurate, dependable reconnaissance information.
Someone seated next to Tang Wulin inside the barracks chuckled and said, “I should leave now. It’s time for me to put my cowhide into good use in this battlefield. Haha.”
Tang Wulin spoke earnestly, “Senior brother disciple, please be careful. Don’t be reckless.”
A Ruheng patted his shoulder and said smilingly, “Don’t worry. The person capable of killing me in this world doesn’t exist anymore. I’m leaving!”
As he was speaking, he walked out of the barracks in long strides. A golden radiance flashed once on his body. In the next moment, he had already shot toward the sky akin to a cannonball. He headed straight for the northernmost area.
No one was more suitable than him when it came to reconnoitre! The abyssal bomb bees, huh? Hehe.
A Ruheng’s flight was just as swift as a fighter aircraft. A loud boom was heard a moment after he rose into the sky. He broke through the sound barrier and travelled at top speed!
