Stuck in a Chinese novel

Wei Jun raised his head to discover that he was deeper in the ground than at sea level. It made sense since the mountain hive was only a little above the ground while most of it was buried underneath the ground.

Wei Jun wasn\'t very deep and he could easily climb out of there but the queen bee wasn\'t going to let him and even if she did, Wei Jun wasn\'t going to leave when there was prey that could increase his strength right before him, wounded like a prepared dish for him.

Wei Jun wasn\'t going to run since the beginning. But he was also a little bit flustered.

[QP 1094\\\\1200]

Wei Jun didn\'t have a Qi pill to consume anymore for the next hour and even the health pill was on the cooldown for at least nine minutes.

Although the queen bee was injured, couldn\'t fly, and seemed to be bleeding from some spots, it was still strong enough for Wei Jun to deal with without any backups.

\'It doesn\'t even have eyes,\' If the queen bee had eyes, Wei Jun could have used a flashbang but it was useless in this situation where his opponent was genetically blind.

Wei Jun stopped at a certain point and pulled out two bee stingers from his inventory. He channeled Qi around them using Qi discharge.

[You have coated a weapon in Qi]

[Skill: Weapon enhancement has been created]

[Weapon\'s durability and attack power have been significantly increased]

[Weapon\'s durability will be affected after the skill ends]

Wei Jun had only discovered this feature but he liked it. He also tried using it on a gun but as soon as the yang energy\'s heat interacted with the bullets, the gun exploded which wasn\'t a pleasant experience for Wei Jun.

Still, Wei Jun\'s Qi armament was activated and the damage wasn\'t severe. Wei Jun then turned his attention to the queen bee who was getting closer and closer.

\'You have some tips for me?\' Wei Jun asked the system just in case because it hadn\'t given any advice for some time now.

[Watch out for the mist]

\'What mist?\' Wei Jun asked but he quickly got his answer when the queen bee began to emit something from its body. A densely green fog that gave the impression of mist.

Wei Jun hurriedly jumped back because he had already felt some of it on his Qi barrier and his Qi barrier cracked, visibly and greatly.

Luckily, he wasn\'t damaged but that was an attack the elder didn\'t tell him about and if not for the system, Wei Jun would have been caught up in it.

[She probably knew none of the disciples would be crazy enough to attempt this atrocity]

\'How do I protect myself from that?\' Wei Jun asked.

[You can\'t]

[There is an antidote, but it isn\'t for this mist but the venom]

[This mist cannot be neutralized by anything]

[Your Dark Qi, maybe]

[But use that and the elder outside will feel it in an instant]

Wei Jun nodded and moved further back, looking at the queen bee who opened her mouth and shot a ball of venomous saliva at him.

Wei Jun managed to dodge it but just as he did, he noticed that the bee suddenly closed the distance between him and itself.

It was still far enough for Wei Jun to move back but he noticed that the bee was quite fast still.

It wasn\'t that the bee was hiding its original speed and trying to make Wei Jun lose his guard. It was getting faster because it was healing at a slow rate.

It wasn\'t visible by the second but compared to a minute ago when Wei Jun saw the injured queen bee, the queen bee now was looking much better.

Wei Jun threw one of the stingers in his hand and it struck the moving bee in its wing. Wei Jun aimed for its head but it kept moving so it was difficult for Wei Jun to aim properly.

Wei Jun quickly predicted the movement of the bee and shot the other stinger as well but the bee suddenly stopped, making Wei Jun miss the mark again.

\'Its intellect is frightening,\' Wei Jun said.

Even though it didn\'t have eyes, it could still predict how Wei Jun would throw the stinger and stop its movements midway through which caused the stronger to miss and Wei Jun to lose both of his weapons.

But, he still managed to pierce one wing of it which meant that Wei Jun could rest assured by the flight aspect of this battle for a while but seeing that it was healing at a crazy good rate, Wei Jun wasn\'t very optimistic about that.

\'And then there\'s that…\' Wei Jun noticed that the slight mist emitting from the queen bee\'s body wasn\'t dissipating but settling down on the ground.

[It\'s denser than air]

\'Of course, it is,\' Wei Jun said, annoyed at how many handicaps the queen bee had and how many limitations he had.

Wei Jun pulled two more stingers from his inventory and shot channeled Qi through them but this time, he used the skill which increased the effectiveness significantly even though the amount of Qi he used was half than before.

Wei Jun threw them at the queen bee and hoped to strike it but it managed to dodge both of them so this time, Wei Jun pulled four of them out, two in each hand, stuck between his fingers.

Wei Jun threw two first and when the queen bee moved to dodge them, he threw the rest but it still managed to dodge them albeit getting struck in one of its wings again, barely getting any damage.

But Wei Jun had a smirk on his face. The mist was spreading through the cave but it wasn\'t at a speed that he would have to immediately worry about it.

He had enough stingers to kill the queen bee as long as he could find an opening. But if he couldn\'t see one, he just had to create one.

Wei Jun grinned sinisterly and pulled out the dead body of the guard bee that he had used to protect himself from the collapse of the hive mountain.

When the queen bee felt the presence of its dead child, it lost it and ran towards Wei Jun. Wei Jun smirked, touching the corpse to store it back before he shot two of the stingers he had prepared at the charging queen bee.

Still, the bee was able to put a stop to its charge almost instantly and dodged the stingers without much effort.

\'Huh?\' Suddenly Wei Jun was struck with a realization.

[You realized too late]

[This fight could have ended long ago if you did]

The system was inadvertently calling Wei Jun \'slow\' or \'idiot\', but Wei Jun didn\'t mind. He considered he was. Because the hint was in front of his eyes all the time.

Blind bumblebees can only see Qi, nothing else.

Wasn\'t he using Qi on the stingers all this time?

He deserved to be called slow if not an idiot.

Wei Jun once again pulled stingers out of his inventory and shot them at the queen bee without using his skill. This time, the queen was able to dodge but not as well as before.

[Remnant Qi remains on the stingers when they leave your hand]

Wei Jun nodded and canceled his skills, all of them. As he felt power leaving his body and his senses slowing down than before, he looked at the bee whose face was still in his direction, but Wei Jun could sense clear confusion from it.

Wei Jun smirked once again, the sinister grin from before returned when Wei Jun pulled four stingers out of his inventory and shot them at the queen bee.

The slight sound that was produced as the stingers pierced the air, allowed the queen bee to still dodge but it wasn\'t able to dodge that well.

Wei Jun\'s grin widened as he pulled four stingers this time, throwing them at the queen bee in short intervals, aiming at different areas in its body.

The first two were dodged which Wei Jun once again expected but the last two pierced her wing and lower stomach at once.

Wei Jun smirked and pulled four more. He could have shot the bee in her heart or somewhere more vital but he chose body parts that would hurt more and kill her slowly.

"Let\'s see," Wei Jun said as he saw the queen bee\'s head turn to him, "How much of my HP did I lose to you?"

"I will be magnanimous and take only half of it, slowly and painfully."
