What's going on?
We've been targeted?
Chen Yu and his group, crouching and preparing to flee, froze as the shout reached them, feeling like thieves caught red-handed.
"Was that directed at us?"
Chen Yu, as if petrified, lifted his leg and tilted his head to look at Hei Dou.
"I don't know," Hei Dou blinked. "It must be us, right? Only Boss went to steal honey, there shouldn't be anyone else."
"Can't be."
Chen Yu muttered.
He had been in disguise when he stole the honey, how could he have been discovered.
"Everyone go prone!"
Chen Yu whispered, and immediately Hei Dou and the others dropped into the flower bed.
"You stinking dogs, how dare you steal my honey, I'll beat you to death." The maiden's voice from outside the flower bed came again.
That's more like it!
Chen Yu, lying in the flower bed, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
How could they possibly catch him.
He was invisible when he stole the honey, it would be bizarre if he was still discovered. This beekeeper, however, found out quite quickly. Did they install anti-theft alarms around the beehive? Read more at Kan Shu La.
It doesn't matter!
He already had the honey, and the kobolds took the blame for him. Now was the perfect time to escape.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Chen Yu, crawling forward in the flower bed, whispered, but Hei Dou suddenly pulled him back.
"Boss, the great beauty."
"Where?!"
Chen Yu's expression immediately tensed, and he stretched his neck to peek outside the flower bed.
What greeted his eyes was a bee maiden.
She had two antennae on her head, wore a black and yellow striped jumpsuit, and her eyes sparkled like black gemstones.
"I'll beat you to death." The bee maiden held a hoe, her pretty nose wrinkled, and she was hitting the kobolds who were just yelling and screaming with sticks.
"Let you steal my honey, let you steal honey!"
The bee maiden's crisp voice was filled with furious anger, as she chased the kobolds who were running around with their heads covered, using her hoe. The surrounding hornets also didn't attack her, instead following her in pursuit of the intruders.
(ღ˘⌣˘ღ): "Boss..."
Hei Dou's eyes were already forming hearts.
"Let's capture her. As long as we bring her back to the camp, we can do anything we want to her..." Hei Dou wiggled his little paws. "We can do anything we want to her, ha ha ha!"
Hearing this, Chen Yu also grinned. Read more at Kan Shu La.
He raised his hand slightly.
Hei Dou also raised his paw to high-five Chen Yu, but unexpectedly received a smack on the back of his head with a bang.
"Stop drooling." Chen Yu gave him an exasperated look. "I really wonder what's in that head of yours, always thinking about doing whatever you want. You're quite suited for the phrase, but you only have the first two characters."
He really didn't know what Hei Dou was thinking.
Catch the bee girl?
If they dared to show themselves now, their fate would be no better than the kobolds.
They'd end up with their heads swollen from stings.
That would be great, wouldn't it?!
"I'm just considering it for you, Boss," Hei Dou grinned sheepishly. "Actually, I'm fine. I mainly think Boss should have a maid to serve him."
"And to serve you as well?"
"If it's possible, then it's not impossible!"
Bang!
Another slap to the back of Hei Dou's head.
"Dreaming big."
Chen Yu wouldn't do anything he wasn't sure of.
Staying alive was the most important thing.
He had been stung by a bee once before, and his entire finger swelled up.
The venom of hornets was much more potent than that of bees.
If he wasn't careful, he might even get himself killed.
That would be a disaster.
Capturing an exotic bee maiden would be wonderful, but as long as Chen Yu expanded steadily like he was now, he would naturally obtain cat girls and bunny girls when the time was right.
He wasn't in a hurry at all.
"Withdraw!"
Chen Yu didn't linger any longer and resolutely chose to retreat back to the light circle they came from.
Boom—
Suddenly, a loud noise occurred.
Chen Yu and his group, who were preparing to escape in the chaos, turned back and saw a kobold, about two meters tall, holding a mace, appear in the cave of the flower bed.
"Whoa, is that the Dog King?" Hei Dou exclaimed.
The kobold who appeared now was more than half a meter taller than the other kobolds, and his muscles were clearly defined.
His arms were like steel bars, and the hornets around him couldn't do anything to him.
He swung his mace.
Each swing would kill a swarm of hornets.
"This Dog King is truly fierce," Hei Dou swallowed. "The hornets are no match for the Dog King at all. This is bad, the beauty is going to suffer."
The appearance of the Dog King directly reversed the tide of the battle.
"You... you dare to kill my friends, I will kill you!" Seeing the hornets falling one after another, the bee maiden bit her lip and swung her hoe at the Dog King.
"Ah!"
Before the bee maiden's hoe could even fall, the Dog King threw her down into the flower bed.
"Bee Maiden, you should know my patience is limited," the Dog King said, holding his mace and looking down at the bee maiden with cold eyes. "Plant wheat for us kobolds. I don't want to keep repeating this."
Hearing the Dog King's words, Chen Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.
He could tell that the Dog King and the bee maiden were old acquaintances, and they had negotiated many times.
Was this a tribal war?
Kobolds and Beefolk.
"Why should I listen to you!" The bee maiden lying on the ground stared intently at the Dog King. "This is my flower bed, why should I plant wheat for you?"
"Why?"
The Dog King slightly raised his mace, and dozens of kobolds suddenly appeared from the light circle on the left, walking out leisurely with sticks in their hands.
"Because our kobold race is stronger!"
"Heh, you want to kill me?" The bee maiden's eyes were full of disdain. "If it weren't for the dimensional shift, I would never have encountered your kind of dirty kobolds. You low-class creatures, if the dimensional shift hadn't happened, any one of my guards could have killed you!"
"Unfortunately, the dimension has changed."
The kobold grabbed the bee maiden by the collar.
"Plant wheat for me, and don't make me repeat myself."
"I won't plant!" The bee maiden glared. "I won't plant wheat for you, not before, not now, I absolutely won't plant wheat for you, I absolutely won't!"
"Let's go."
After watching for a while, Chen Yu whispered.
"While they're fighting, let's not get involved in this."
"Boss..."
Hei Dou hesitated, then seeing Chen Yu's expression, he silently swallowed the words on his lips.
The group crouched and moved towards the light circle.
"Bee Maiden, don't be ungrateful," the Dog King's tone became menacing. "You know, I'm not negotiating with you, am I?"
"Even if you kill me, I won't plant wheat for you!"
The bee maiden bit her lip tightly, her eyes fixed on the Dog King, full of anger.
"Go find other bee maidens, they might plant wheat for you. I won't! I can die, but romance will not! I will only plant flowers in this life, I won't do anything else!"
"Then go die!"
The mace swung down heavily. The bee maiden lay on her back, her eyes wide open, watching the mace descend towards her.
Bang!
The Dog King's arm was firmly grabbed, and a human in adventurer gear appeared in front of the bee maiden.
"Enough, let's stop here, friend!"
