Chapter 112 Decapitation Strike, Failure!
Haidong Qing was extremely fast, and when it charged into the woods, the bees hadn't even reacted. In just a few seconds, Haidong Qing had located the large beehive, and with a slight effort of its claws, it snatched the hive, flapped its wings and was ready to soar into the sky!
"Well done!" Suming was greatly encouraged, his hands waved excitedly as if he had already seen success within reach!
It was the Diamond Parrot's bad luck; Suming's punch intended for someone else landed squarely on the unsuspecting Diamond Parrot's belly. Mistakenly injured by the punch, the large body of the Diamond Parrot wobbled like a Weeble, staggering back a few steps before it fell on its back to the ground, its claws fluttering and it cried out weirdly, "Oh mother... I'm hit..."
Suming: "..."
However, what followed didn't go as smoothly as imagined; it seemed that Haidong Qing had encountered trouble!
When Haidong Qing dived, its speed was very fast, so fast that not a single bee, under normal circumstances, could keep up with it, leaving the bees far behind.
But when it stopped midair to grab the hive with its claws, an unavoidable pause occurred;
And after seizing the hive, Haidong Qing had to accelerate again to take off, which meant another short pause, not to mention the hive itself had weight!
In that instant, the swarm within the forest erupted into chaos!
In the woods, where there were bees everywhere, each inch of space bore traces of bee activity. Haidong Qing could shake off the bees chasing it, but as long as it remained in the forest, it was still surrounded by a sea of bees.
This brief halt allowed the nearby bees to pounce onto the feathers of Haidong Qing. In the blink of an eye, the once majestic Haidong Qing turned into something that looked rather disgusting, covered in a dense layer of bees, which made it appear as if draped in a grey robe.
Bees may be small, but they also have weight. One or two could go unnoticed, but several hundred bees were a different story. The accumulated weight now caused Haidong Qing's speed to immediately falter; its body was even dragged downwards!
Haidong Qing forcefully spread its wings, giving its body a violent shake!
Like a rain of projectiles, countless bees were flung away as if they were concealed weapons. Yet, immediately more bees swarmed over again, taking their place and crawling all over Haidong Qing.
With its body entirely covered in bees, Haidong Qing no longer had space to move; additionally, the rest of the bees changed their strategy, swarming onto the hive en masse. In the blink of an eye, the hive grew fatter as it was laden with bees that vigorously flapped their wings, pulling the hive downwards, preventing Haidong Qing from taking their queen.
Not far away, even more swarms of bees were converging from all directions!
"Damn!" Suming was dumbfounded. Were these still bees or a bunch of flies swarming around feces?
In just the span of a few breaths, Haidong Qing was covered anew in several thick layers of bees. At first, Haidong Qing managed to flap its wings a few times in struggle, but as more bees piled upon it, it became increasingly hard to even spread its wings. Whenever it barely managed to do so, a large swarm would surge into the space beneath its wings.
Now in a dire situation with its wings immobile, Haidong Qing plummeted to the ground. Some bees were scattered by the fall, but many more swarmed in from all sides. Quickly, from Suming's perspective, Haidong Qing's outline was no longer visible. One could only see a black, bulging mound on the forest floor, resembling a small hill that was still growing, its surface writhing disgustingly.
Haidong Qing, truly a fierce creature, even when it fell to the ground, clung tightly to the beehive with both claws, refusing to let go and immediately attracting even more bees.
Continuing like this, not to mention the Haidong Qing, even a Magical Beast wouldn't come out on top. Even if it wasn't stung to death, it could be crushed, suffocated, or sickened to death…
Seeing this, Suming couldn't care less about beheading or not. At this point, the life of Haidong Qing was the most important. If anything happened to Haidong Qing, he could forget about his precision strike beheading plan. Mr. Song would be the first to carry out a 'precision strike' on him!
Killing or losing a nationally protected animal wasn't a big deal but wasn't trivial either, especially since it was Suming who had volunteered to take it out of the zoo. Besides, Haidong Qing had been loyally protecting him on their journey, minding its own business. Falling from grace and being bullied was already miserable enough, but dying from such bullying would be utterly tragic.
"Let go of the beehive, come back quickly!"

Suming hurriedly issued the command to Haidong Qing. At the same time, holding the shield, the Diamond Parrot rushed forward a great distance, getting as close to the woods as possible. He then used his spiritual power to shake off a portion of the bees attacking Haidong Qing.
After receiving Suming's command, Haidong Qing let go of the claw, releasing the beehive.
Free from this heavy burden, Haidong Qing immediately felt much less pressure. Most of the Bee Allied Army in the forest were also drawn to the beehive, guarding it fiercely and no longer climbing onto Haidong Qing.
Haidong Qing flapped its wings hurriedly but, unexpectedly, failed to take off. The number of bees on it was simply too great, forming a thick wall.
Suming quickly injected his spiritual power into the fray, bang bang bang, the bees blocking Haidong Qing were blown away as if hit by small bombs, scattering in great numbers.
Seizing the opportunity, Haidong Qing flapped its wings vigorously, let out a cry, and finally soared into the sky!
However, the Bee Allied Army seemed unwilling to let Haidong Qing go. Behind Haidong Qing, like a long dragon emerging from the forest, they relentlessly pursued!
As the ruler of the skies, Haidong Qing's flying skills were far superior to those of the bees. Once freed from the swarm, its speed increased, and it shot upward, like an arrow piercing the clouds, heading straight for the high heavens.
The swarm below was left far behind, and the bees couldn't fly that high. A few dozen meters up, and the strong winds would blow them away. Eventually, the pursuing swarm dispersed and returned to the forest.
Haidong Qing shook its feathers in the air, like flicking off lice, dislodging many bees hidden among its plumage. Before they could hit the ground, they were whisked away by the wind.
Suming, upon seeing this, finally let out a long sigh of relief. Holding the parrot, he quickly retreated to a safe spot and then sent out a psychic command to have Haidong Qing land.
"Are you okay?"
As soon as Haidong Qing landed, Suming tossed the parrot aside, hugged Haidong Qing, and thoroughly checked it to make sure it wasn't seriously injured. Only after confirming it had lost just a few feathers did he finally settle down.
The beheading plan had completely failed.
