The Wizard: Starting with the Omniscient Cube

Chapter 28: Excellence That Cannot Be Hidden

The Nightingale Knight's gaze towards Lin Wei changed. This unknown Lion Knight actually possessed a fourth-tier combat skill.

These days, there are more and more combat techniques circulating, but not everyone can cultivate them or advance to higher levels.

Lin Wei explained, "I just have a slight talent for long-range attacks."

"Lion Knight, you're so strong."

The Carp Knight was the most naive, believing himself to be exceptionally talented within his family.

I never expected that a trip would lead me to discover that there are always people more capable than myself.

For a moment, everyone had a pillar of support. In any case, the rewards would be shared equally, and the stronger the teammates, the lower the risk of the battle.

The Nightingale Knight smiled and said, "My breathing technique has reached the fourth level, and I also have a second-level whip technique."

She originally thought that her second-tier whip technique was already quite remarkable, but she never expected to encounter a monster like Lin Wei.

Everyone nodded. Whip-fighting techniques are not common, and the Nightingale Knight's success in mastering and advancing to the next level is truly remarkable.

The Carp Knight, being the weakest, timidly replied, "I've just mastered the breathing technique to the fourth level. I don't have any combat skills yet, but I'm already training."

The Red Horse Knight stroked his white beard and concluded, "Not bad. With the Lion Knight here, our lineup is extremely excellent."

"When we encounter the Honeybee Queen, I will use my shield to tank, the Lark Knight will use my whip to suppress its movement, the Carp Knight will harass it, and the Lion Knight, your task is the most important, you will be the main attacker. Whether we can kill this Honeybee ultimately depends on you."

Lin Wei nodded: "No problem."

All he had to do was draw his bow and nock his arrow; the danger was minimal. The most dangerous task, however, was taken on by the Red Horse Knight himself.

The Lark Knight and the Carp Knight nodded repeatedly.

Red Horse Knights, true to their experience, made a very reasonable allocation.

Not long after, several days later, the group finally arrived at the honeybee's nest.

The carp knight whispered, "This is it."

Then there was a steep slope with a strangely shaped, enormous beehive hanging on it.

The honeycomb is translucent and contains many shiny sacs, which look like large nodules flowing with honey.

Lin Wei was equally excited: "Even the air tastes sweet."

The red-horse knight said, "The shimmering sacs inside are the ancient flower nectar we need; it's a type of honey."

"That's quite a lot; enough for each of us for two years."

The Nightingale Knight was overjoyed.

Generally speaking, the amount that one person produces in a year is already considered a good income.

Lin Wei asked, "Since it's a honeypot bee, why don't we just take it and run? That would be the safest thing to do."

"That won't work. We can only take them away by honestly killing the honeypot bees. Otherwise, we'll face their pursuit, and being attacked from both sides will be even more dangerous. Honeypot bees have an extremely sensitive sense of smell."

Red Horse Knight explained.

"Buzzing!"

Soon, one of the honeypot bees, nearly five meters long, slowly landed on the hive, with several huge "honeypots" hanging on its body.

Lin Wei muttered to himself, "Looks like these are honeypot bees."

The Red Horse Knight warned, "Lion Knight, when it pours the ancient nectar from the honeypot into the hive, it will expose its abdomen. You can use that moment to launch an attack."

"no problem."

Lin Wei drew his bow and arrow, keeping a close eye on the honeybees' every move.

The remaining Lark Knights and Carp Knights were also ready.

The honeybee stood upright, sucked the honey pots on its body into its body, exposed its abdomen and stinger, and slowly injected honey into the hive.

Lin Wei thought to himself, "Now is the time."

Lin Wei covered his body with lion hair, transforming into a lion-man. He drew the snake tendon bow to its full draw and fired an arrow.

The wolf-tooth arrows flew to the honeypot bee's abdomen in an instant, piercing through it and then exiting.

"puff!"

The honeybee fell from the hive in pain and rolled around on the ground.

Lin Wei fired several more arrows, which landed steadily inside the honeybees.

Immediately afterwards, the Red Horse Knight and the Lark Knight rushed out, their shield strikes and whip shadows constantly suppressing the rising honeypot bee, preventing it from taking off easily.

This was a plan the four of them devised on the road: once the honeybees lost their ability to fly, their threat level would be greatly reduced.

The carp rider pulled out a long spear and kept poking at the honeypot bees' vulnerable spots.

The combined attack from the group completely overwhelmed the honeybees.

The most important thing was that Lin Weina's spiral arrow injured the honeybee's internal organs.

However, this honeypot bee was much stronger than the ordinary honeypot bee. It flapped its wings fiercely and sent the carp rider flying.

The Red Horse Knight and the Lark Knight stood their ground and tried their best to stop them.

In particular, the Red Horse Knight's limbs swelled up, transforming him into a red horseman over three meters tall, who repeatedly smashed his shield against the Honeybee's body.

This honeypot bee was his last hope for advancing to the rank of Grand Knight.

At his usual pace of cultivation, he was unable to reach the sixth level of the breathing technique.

Lin Wei, on the other hand, had the easiest job. He only needed to shoot arrows into the vulnerable spots of the honeybees, and there was not much pressure.

However, the wolf-tooth arrows he brought were quickly used up, and he had to use steel arrows bought from Rose City as a substitute.

……

Two hours passed.

The honeybee was dying, lying on the ground unable to move, surrounded by its blood.

Lin Wei's lion claw strike to the heart ended his life.

The Red Horse Knight was also exhausted, lying to the side panting heavily, his face bruised and swollen.

The Lark Knight was in good condition, leaning against a tree to rest, his posture elegant.

The one who looked the worst was the Carp Knight, who was bounced around dozens of times and was covered in bruises and red marks.

Lin Wei was in the best form. During the match, Honeybee almost took off several times, but was eventually brought down each time.

However, the number of arrows was limited, and Lin Wei eventually ran out of them all, so he had to join the battle at close range.

After he joined the battle, the severely wounded honeybee was beaten down by the group.

Lin Wei shrugged and said, "This long-range method is a bit too useful."

"I even think these honeypot bees are a bit weak."

The Lark Knight said irritably, "Even the Honeybee didn't expect to encounter a standard knight with fourth-tier archery skills."

This wasn't her first time participating in a team hunting expedition, but it was the easiest one yet.

The Red Horse Knight got up and said cheerfully, "I almost lost my life, but luckily the Lion Knight was here."

"Ranged attacks are indeed suitable for attacking enemies, but they are too difficult to master. We knights are too strong, which makes it difficult for us to master combat skills that require micro-management. I really don't know how you managed to train to the fourth rank."

The Red Horse Knight even joked, "At first I suspected you were just trying to brag to this beautiful nightingale girl."

"Senior Red Horse, you flatter me."

Everyone was in high spirits and happily devoured all the ancient flower honey in the beehive.

Before leaving, Lin Wei asked, "What should we do with the dead honeybees?"

"Only the stinger of this honeybee is valuable; the rest are either poisonous or were destroyed by us."
