Chapter 225: For The Love of Honey
“Looks like a swarm of bees up ahead,” Cordellia said, as she used her hand to shade her eyes. “Maybe five or six. I can’t really tell as they fly up and down around the bend we’re coming upon.”
“Bows and spells?” Max asked, as he looked at the rest of the group. “Fowl you okay being up front a little in case one comes while we’re using the bows?”
Fowl shrugged as he nodded. His shield and weapon appeared in his hands as he moved ahead.
“Alright, I guess we’ll pick a target and try to shoot multiple ones. No idea how much health they have, but we should be able to knock them out of the sky if you can take their wings off.”
Cordellia nodded and nocked an arrow as they moved along the winding mountainside trail.
When they were within bow range, Max whistled and both of them started loosing arrows at the bees, unsure how many were going to end up coming at them but wanting to use the distance to cut down on that number if possible.
The group of bees flew toward them, and everyone saw the dark red bands along their body between the black sections. Large pincers lined their mouths and red eyes that looked like rubies locked on the group that had assaulted them with arrows.
An ice spear flew up the incline and blew a hole in the middle of one bee, causing it to flutter and fall, crashing to the ground before rolling off the edge of the trail.
Max’s arrows peppered the bee he was shooting, and he summoned an ice spear as Tanila had, sending it at the same one, killing it while it was about thirty yards off.
