The bees and termites sent out vanished without a trace, with no information coming back.
That night, Qin Niu had entered the mountain peak before him; he knew the peak's top was the most dangerous place because demon birds were likely to nest near the summit.
The termites and bees had just set out, and it might take some time for them to reach above the middle of the mountain.
Suddenly, his heart quivered slightly—a Green Ring Bee had been sacrificed.
Soon after, several more Green Ring Bees perished.
The situation for the termites was also grim.
More and more termites were getting killed in succession.
The sound of bird calls rose from the mountain.
Birds flew out one after another from the dense foliage; sparrows, shrikes, woodpeckers, coots... These birds, as if suddenly disturbed, all made their appearance.
"Not good!"
Qin Niu hadn't discovered these birds when he scouted the peak last night.
