Chapter 527 A Swarm of Bees That Only Recognize Bloodlines

"Young master, this is..."

Zhuang Xiaoye frowned instantly, his eyes filled with doubt.

He had roamed the martial arts world for decades and had seen many rare and precious treasures, but he had never seen such a strangely shaped object before.

Bai Yue didn't explain much, but simply pressed the switch on the side of the searchlight with her thumb.

A soft "click" sounded!

A concentrated and dazzling white light suddenly shot out from the lamp head, tearing through the darkness of the cave entrance like a sharp sword!

The beam of light shone straight into the depths of the forbidden area, illuminating the originally dark and obscure passage as bright as day, making every carving on the stone wall and the shadow of every pebble on the ground crystal clear.

"What...what kind of treasure is this?"

Startled by the sudden burst of bright light, Zhuang Xiaoye instinctively took a half-step back.

He had seen pearls and glass lamps, but he had never seen a divine object that could dispel darkness so thoroughly.

Rakshasa couldn't help but reach out to touch the lampshade that emitted a bright white glow, but she stopped abruptly just as her fingertips were about to touch it.

Fearing that her mortal hands might tarnish such a "rare treasure," her hand froze in mid-air, unable to move forward or backward, her eyes filled with awe.

"Oh, this is the Qiankun Dawn Lamp."

Seeing their curiosity, Bai Yue started making things up again, speaking frankly.

"It was a gift from my ancestors when they bestowed divine power upon me."

"Xiaoyue, our ancestors have been so kind to you!"

Shen Xingmian looked at the lamp with deep emotion, and even couldn't help but wonder if Bai Yue was not given divine power, but rather that her ancestor had directly possessed her body and returned to the mortal world.

Only Ling Xuzi and Hua Mu'an, after a brief moment of surprise, immediately shifted their gazes from the lamp and fixed them firmly on Bai Yue.

More than these rare treasures, they cared about the person holding the lamp.

Ling Xuzi stepped forward first, his cool voice full of concern.

“Master, this item looks quite heavy. Holding it for too long might hurt your hands. You should let me handle it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand, with its distinct knuckles, was extended in front of Bai Yue, palm slightly upward, his posture respectful yet carrying an unyielding insistence.

"Master, let me come!"

Hua Mu'an spoke almost immediately after Ling Xuzi finished speaking, taking a step forward and leaning directly against the other's side.

"My internal strength is greater than his; I will definitely be able to hold it steady and will not let the light flicker and disturb you!"

His outstretched hand was further forward than Ling Xuzi's, almost touching the lamp.

Their gazes collided suddenly in mid-air. Ling Xuzi's eyes were cold, carrying a sharp "you can't take it" tone.

Hua Mu'an's eyes burned with passion, filled with the stubborn belief that "I am more suitable." Invisible sparks crackled between the two, neither willing to back down even half a step.

Looking at the deep, unknown passage, Bai Yue remembered the warning on the stone wall that "entering here will surely lead to death," and quickly raised her hand to stop the two.

"Stop arguing. Since our ancestors left a warning, there must be some powerful traps set up here to target outsiders. I am of the Zhuang family bloodline, so it is safest for me to go ahead and explore."

"Master, no!"

Ling Xuzi and Hua Mu'an spoke in unison, their faces filled with disapproval.

Sending their owners into danger is absolutely their biggest dereliction of duty.

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

Bai Yue gave them a reassuring look, then, without further hesitation, took the searchlight and stepped into the cold, dark passage first.

The others wanted to dissuade her, but seeing her determined steps, they knew it was the safest course of action, so they could only hold their breath and follow closely.

The passage was initially smooth, with only footsteps and breathing echoing in the open space.

After a short while, a faint buzzing sound suddenly came from behind.

"This is?"

Bai Yue looked toward the source of the sound and saw a wasp the size of a quail egg perched on the stone wall. It was completely black, with a cold, eerie blue light shimmering from its tail, giving it a menacing appearance.

"Master, be careful!"

Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi drew their swords at the same time, intending to kill the wasp with one strike, but Bai Yue stopped them with a stern shout.

"do not move!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the wasp flew towards Bai Yue, circled around her, and then flew away as if it had encountered an invisible barrier.

Immediately afterwards, a chilling buzzing sound came from afar, quickly becoming clearer and more intense!

"what sound?"

The group looked around warily, their hands resting on the swords at their waists.

The next moment, a dark shadow appeared at the edge of the blinding beam of the searchlight.

It was a huge swarm of countless strange wasps, just like the ones from before, rushing towards the group!

"I understand!"

Based on what had just happened, Bai Yue quickly came to a conclusion in her mind.

"The warning outside the wall refers to these wasps! They will only attack people who are not of the Zhuang bloodline!"

Sure enough, the swarm of bees, which had come on strong, split into two groups as it approached Bai Yue, but instead of retreating, it attacked the people behind her!

"Watch out! It's a poisonous bee!"

Zhuang Xiaoye shouted and instantly drew his sword, channeling his inner strength into it. The others also drew their swords, ready for battle, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

"No, we can't let them hurt people!"

Bai Yue panicked and shouted in her mind.

"Hey, do you have any strong insecticide?"

"Torture and kill insects is unacceptable."

The system quickly interrupted her and gave her a prompt.

"However, you can use the royal jelly produced by Rou Rou. Those wasps definitely won't be able to resist it."

"it is good!"

Without a second thought, Bai Yue pulled out a ceramic jar from her spatial storage. The moment she opened the lid, a rich, sweet fragrance wafted through the cave.

The once ferocious swarm of bees, as if drawn by a magnet, abandoned their attack and gathered around the pottery jar.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Yue splashed the honey onto the nearby stone wall. All the wasps rushed to the honey stains and began to suck the honey without moving, no longer caring about hurting people.

"Let's get going!"

Seeing that the crisis was over, Bai Yue quickly called out.

The crowd quickly followed her, and after running for about half a cup of tea's time, they finally stopped.

"Young master, what was that just now...?"

Zhuang Xiaoye wiped the sweat from his face, his voice still tinged with fear.

The size of that swarm of bees just now was such that if they were targeted, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"These poisonous bees avoided me when they encountered me, probably because of the Zhuang family bloodline in my veins. The warning 'Entering here means certain death' that my ancestors carved outside the forbidden area may have been referring to this kind of mechanism that distinguishes friend from foe based on bloodline."

After hearing this explanation, everyone nodded in agreement. It seemed that the forbidden area of ​​Hero Manor was even more dangerous than they had imagined.

Luocha moved closer to Baiyue, her beautiful eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"Xiaoyue, what method did you use to stop those fierce wasps from attacking us?"

"Oh, I remember bees love honey, right? I happened to have a jar with me. I didn't expect it would actually come in handy."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue continued to fabricate stories.

"So, being a foodie has its advantages!"

Rakshasa couldn't help but laugh and joke, "The food I brought can not only satisfy my cravings, but also save my life in a pinch!"

One sentence made Zhuang Xiaoye and Shen Xingmian laugh, and the tense atmosphere eased a lot.
