===========
Zhang Che soon saw the attributes of these poisonous bees, allowing him to heave a sigh of relief.
Their potent poison weren’t scary at all. The bees were unable to penetrate the defense of the Swamp Crocodile King armor, rendering it ineffective.
Moreover, these poisonous bees didn’t seem very fast. In addition, their numbers weren’t much. Less than twenty were flying towards him. He should be able to take them down.
Facing these aerial exotic beasts, the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander was pretty much useless. The Gale Wolf King, on the other hand, could use its skill to attack. A pity that it could only launch six wind blades, however. He didn’t know how many targets it could take down with a single wind blade.
Although there were only slightly more than a dozen Stinger Bees flying towards him, Zhang Che still had to ensure Zheng Hongru and the others’ safety. His test would be over if anything happened to these guys.
Therefore, it became necessary to slay these Stinger Bees as quickly as possible.
The Mutated Puffersword’s skill was still on cooldown for a little while more, so Zhang Che could only let the Gale Wolf King to take the stage.
At his command, the Gale Wolf King suddenly opened its mouth wide. Several green curved blades of wind shot out from its throat, spinning as they flew at the approaching Stinger Bees.
The Wind Blades were faster than the Stinger Bees. Facing such an attack, although the Stinger Bees instinctively wanted to dodge them, they soon realized they couldn’t do so at all.
A wave of soft, crisp sounds rang out one after another. Zhang Che witnessed the Stinger Bees sliced into halves by the Gale Wolf King’s Wind Blade attack, falling onto the wild grass below. Although they didn’t die instantly, these Stinger Bees lost all their fighting strength after their abdomens were separated from their chests and heads, no longer posing any threats.
What surprised Zhang Che was that after the Gale Wolf King’s wind blades struck a target, they could still draw an arc in the air and fly towards a second target, though its speed was slower than before.
However, it was only slightly slower. The Stinger Bees, whose forte was not speed, were still unable to dodge them. Another half a dozen Stinger Bees were directly cut in two and fell to the ground.
After only a wave of attack, less than half of the Stinger Bees remained.
After cutting two targets consecutively, the Wind Blades fired by the Gale Wolf King finally dissipated into the air. What was left of the Stinger Bees required Zhang Che to deal with.
The remaining few Stinger Bees obviously realized that the Gale Wolf King wasn’t to be trifled with, either, and turned towards Zhang Che and flew in his direction, wanting to get rid of the easier target.
Alas, these unintelligent insects were unable to accurately determine the strengths of their enemies. Although Zhang Che wasn’t stronger than the Gale Wolf King, he wasn’t someone they could easily mess with, either.
“Great, I can test and see for myself how my swordsmanship is progressing!”
Zhang Che immediately felt relieved when he saw that these Stinger Bees hadn’t seemed to notice Zheng Hongru and the others who were running away. Wielding the Mutated Puffersword in hand, Zhang Che took the initiative and engaged them in battle. It had been some time since he started practicing this style of swordplay. Although he hadn’t put much time into practice and had yet to achieve great proficiency at it, he should be able to handle this handful of Stinger Bees.
