Chapter 753: Chapter 453: The Overwhelming and Arrogant Tiger Bees

WHOOSH.

A faint golden Spiritual Light flashed in Lin Li’s eyes as orange-red flames ignited across his body.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Li’s human form vanished, replaced by a Flame Man whose body was made entirely of fire.

"Holy crap, it’s an Elemental Body!!!"

"This guy actually awakened such a powerful Superpower."

"His body has undergone Elementalization. That terrifying swarm of Tiger Bees won’t be able to do a thing to him now."

"Hey, hey, the focus isn’t just that he can turn his body into an Element! Did you all forget how he just stored away all those pots and pans?"

"A Storage Space Superpower and an Elemental Body Superpower... this guy actually awakened two Superpowers?!!!"

The Exotic Beast Hunters stared at Lin Li, who had just turned his body into an Element. Realizing that this young peer was a Cultivator who had awakened two Superpowers, their eyes went wide and their jaws dropped. They were shocked beyond words, their gazes filled with deep envy.

After all, in their entire Exotic Beast Hunter squad, only their captain had awakened a Superpower. The rest were just ordinary Cultivators.

BZZZZZ...

Just as the Exotic Beast Hunters had thought, the swarm of Tiger Bees that had been preparing to attack Lin Li faltered after he used his Superpower for Elementalization.

Faced with the blazing Flame Man, the Tiger Bees immediately halted their assault and quickly backed away.

These dim-witted Tiger Bees were utterly confused. ’Where did that huge piece of prey suddenly disappear to?’

Although the Tiger Bees had lost a delicious meal, other options were available. At that moment, they all turned in unison toward the nearby Exotic Beast Hunters.

"This is bad! Those Tiger Bees have targeted us! They’re about to charge!" Seeing the swarm change formation in the sky, the Exotic Beast Hunter captain immediately shouted a warning. "Go, go, go! We have to get out of here!!!"

Knowing the situation was critical, the backpack-wearing Exotic Beast Hunters turned and fled.

But after they had run about a dozen meters, they heard a massive explosion behind them.

BOOM—

"Huh?!!!"

After the explosion roared, the Exotic Beast Hunters stopped in their tracks and all turned to look back.

"Th-This guy is incredible!" one of the Exotic Beast Hunters blurted out subconsciously as he watched the scene unfold.

Lin Li had used his Superpower, undergoing Elementalization to neutralize the threat of being swarmed by the Tiger Bees.

When he saw the Tiger Bees about to chase down the Exotic Beast Hunters, he raised a hand and created a massive Fireball two meters in diameter, launching it at the swarm in the sky.

The massive, blazing Fireball, which occasionally spat out scorching sparks, shot straight into the densest part of the swarm.

As it flew, many Tiger Bees were scorched and fell from the sky. And when the Fireball exploded in the most concentrated area of the swarm, countless Tiger Bees were caught in the blast, raining down from above.

Some of the Tiger Bees were killed instantly by the shockwave from the Fireball’s explosion, while others were burned to death by the resulting heatwave.

The Tiger Bees that had been burned to death by the heatwave and had fallen to the ground gave off a charred, fragrant aroma that spread over a wide area.

BZZZZZ...

The attacked Tiger Bee swarm didn’t scatter in chaos; instead, they looked around, searching for their enemy.

Their gazes locked onto Lin Li, but they had no way to attack this enemy made entirely of fire and couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

WHOOSH...

With a mere thought, one scorching Fireball after another materialized out of thin air around Lin Li’s body.

"Go..."

Lin Li waved his hand, and a dozen Fireballs, each nearly two meters in diameter, flew out together toward the clustered Tiger Bees in the sky.

BZZZZZ...

The previously calm Tiger Bee swarm could no longer remain composed when they saw a dozen Fireballs, each nearly two meters in diameter, flying toward them this time.

The Tiger Bees scattered in all directions in a panic, but unfortunately, the dozen Fireballs Lin Li had launched were incredibly fast. They had barely begun to flee before the Fireballs caught up to them.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...

A series of explosions erupted in the sky, and the scattering flames created the illusion of a beautiful fireworks display.

Under Lin Li’s relentless bombardment, the massive Tiger Bee swarm was nearly annihilated, with only about a hundred frantically fleeing back toward their nest.

BZZZZZ...

The Exotic Beast Hunters watched as the Tiger Bee swarm, which had always been so domineering in the wilderness, was defeated in such a manner by their young peer. The shock in their eyes lingered for a long time.

"Second Order High Rank... he’s actually at the Second Order High Rank cultivation level...!!!" the Exotic Beast Hunter captain muttered to himself, having sensed a portion of the Spiritual Energy Wave emanating from Lin Li.

"He doesn’t look that old!"

"Yeah, twenty-five or twenty-six at most, about the same age as my cousin."

"To have a Second Order High Rank cultivation at his age? What kind of genius is he?!!!"

"Since when did Rongcheng produce such an incredible cultivation genius? How come I haven’t heard anything about him?"

After sensing the powerful Spiritual Energy Wave emanating from Lin Li, the Exotic Beast Hunters’ attitude toward their young peer immediately became respectful, and they began to discuss him in hushed tones.

Seeing that only a hundred or so Tiger Bees had managed to flee after his barrage of Fireballs, Lin Li knew the crisis was completely resolved. He immediately deactivated his Superpower, reverting to his original body.

Then, he quickly gave chase in the direction the hundred-odd fleeing Tiger Bees had gone.

"He’s going after those Tiger Bees."

"He’s such a beast."

"What do we do now? Should we follow him?"

"He helped us out big time just now. Let’s follow him! See if there’s anything we can do to help."

After a brief discussion, the Exotic Beast Hunters set off and followed Lin Li.

...

The sun, high in the sky, shone with a dazzling light.

In an open grassy field lay a pond, its surface shimmering under the sunlight, so golden it looked as if it were plated in the precious metal.

WHOOSH...

RUSTLE, RUSTLE, RUSTLE...

A gentle breeze blew, causing the low shrubs around the pond to sway lightly, making a soft rustling sound.

In this area, a sound could be heard that was unsettling to the ear.

BZZZZZ...

Following the sound, one could see many egg-sized figures darting in and out of the bushes beside the shimmering golden pond, while others flew about in the sky.

RUSTLE, RUSTLE, RUSTLE...

A hand reached out from the tall grass, pushing aside the blades. A figure in camouflage emerged.

Lin Li looked at the bushes in the distance, where Tiger Bees were flying in and out, and grinned. "Found you..."

Just as Lin Li was about to charge into the Tiger Bees’ nest and eliminate the rest of them, he heard a commotion behind him.

He turned to look, and after a moment, the group of Exotic Beast Hunters he had met earlier emerged from the lush grass.

"Hello there, friend!" the captain of the Exotic Beast Hunter squad said with a smile, greeting Lin Li.

As they observed their young peer up close, they realized that this incredibly powerful young man wasn’t even twenty-five or twenty-six. He looked more like a recent college graduate, twenty-two or twenty-three at most.

"Hello. Can I help you with something?" Lin Li asked the Exotic Beast Hunters.

He didn’t know why these peers had followed him and was a bit puzzled.

The experienced captain of the Exotic Beast Hunter squad saw the puzzled look in Lin Li’s eyes and quickly explained with a smile.

"Those Tiger Bees were about to come after us earlier. Thanks to you, friend, they were eliminated. You did us a huge favor, so we thought we’d follow along and see if we could help you with anything."

"Uh..." Lin Li thought for a moment, then declined. "No need. It was nothing, really. You don’t have to go out of your way to help me."

"If I’m not mistaken, you’re planning to wipe out the remaining Tiger Bees, dig up their hive, and harvest the pupae, right?" the Exotic Beast Hunter captain asked with a smile.

’Huh? This guy actually guessed what I was about to do...’ Lin Li looked at the Exotic Beast Hunter before him, a little surprised.

He didn’t deny it. He nodded and said to the Exotic Beast Hunter, "Yes, that’s the plan."
