Chapter 567 Assault (Please subscribe and read further, and recommend with monthly tickets!)

"It hurts..."

Beast Boy's Tyrannosaurus Rex form is much stronger than the original Tyrannosaurus Rex, but it still gets stung all over by the massive number of worker bees.

Tyrannosaurus Rex's skin, like that of a rhinoceros, is at least 3 centimeters thick. Combined with its fat and other tissues, as well as its superpowers, bullets could barely leave a mark on Beast Boy's skin.

However, the worker bees held something resembling a poisonous stinger, which was extremely sharp. They could pierce a small hole in Beast Boy's body with a single thrust, and the poison on the stinger would enter Beast Boy's body and begin to break down his body tissues.

Although the stingers in the hands of these worker bees produce effects similar to those of ordinary bee venom, the substances they contain are absolutely different; this type of bee venom is far more potent.

If it were an ordinary person, just one injection like that would probably dissolve all the muscles in their body.

Martin shook his head as he watched the Beast Boy howl. He was still young and inexperienced.

“Dick, the things these worker bees are carrying look primitive, but they are very destructive. Coupled with the overwhelming force of their numbers, even if you rush up, you won’t be of much help.”

Martin spat out rows of stingers from his stomach, knocking all the worker bees that came near him to the ground.

"You take the team members who are not capable of large-scale destruction, find a high point to control the situation, and while we lure people out, you take the opportunity to snipe Sazara."

"understand!"

Dick received Martin's orders and began to act.

The hive that Sazara built on this land is quite extravagant. Structurally, the palace is actually a large cube forcibly stacked up from countless cubes, reaching a height of 100 meters, creating a kind of architecture that no longer conforms to human aesthetics.

Beast Boy, transformed into a Tyrannosaurus Rex, plummeted from the sky, destroying half of the building. The remaining half was also teetering on the brink of collapse. A large number of worker bees flew out, buzzing as they searched for enemies and prepared to annihilate them.

Dick's tactical acumen was naturally beyond question. He quickly located the surrounding high ground, divided his men into two groups, and sent them to occupy the high ground.

The vixen certainly had the ability to rush into the front lines and engage in close combat with the densely packed worker bees, but under Dick's orders, she stayed behind to lead another squad.

She can combine the strengths of animals into herself, and with a little training, she can become a polymath.

However, compared to the vixen's superpowers, the divine authority she inherited from the amulet is more important. Therefore, Martian Manhunter plans to train the vixen to act as a liaison between various factions across Africa.

However, the battles against Savage and Apokolips were unavoidable, so the vixen could only temporarily join the combat forces as a military commander.

Led by Dick and the female fox, the two teams climbed to the top of the hive. Using a molecular formula that headquarters had just developed to quickly dissolve sugar, they adjusted the basic chemical reagents they carried and sprayed them out, causing the sugar in the surrounding honey to quickly precipitate out, forming huge sugar blocks that fell to the ground and gathered together.

Thanks to the vast amount of honey accumulated in the Kolank hive, when the sugar was extracted, it fell to the ground and formed so many solid sugar blocks that they even formed a kind of platform. The rest turned into a substance similar to clear water.

But none of this could stop Dick and the vixen.

"Stop yelling. You're usually a smart person, so why are you so stupid on the battlefield? Big guys are more likely to get stung. Why don't you just turn into a small animal?"

Martin kept an eye on all three of them. While looking after Dick and the vixen, he rushed to Beast Boy's side and used the honey-making technology of worker bees to convert the honey that was stuck to Beast Boy into beeswax, forming a thick shell that covered the green Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"The Tyrannosaurus Rex I transformed into was too big. Suddenly turning into a small animal may cause some health problems."

The Beast Boy stuck out his tongue sheepishly; he himself felt embarrassed upon hearing those words.

This is clearly a war, and to make such a basic mistake means that he is actually not qualified.

"You're still too young. Follow me!"

Martin didn't ask Beast Boy to transform again; after all, he was already encased in a beeswax shell, so there was no point in turning him into a smaller animal.

"Just charge forward. With your body encased in beeswax, unless you encounter Sazara, nothing else will be able to harm your body."

"Understood, just watch my performance."

The Beast Boy roared and charged out. Each time his two large paws landed on the ground, they caused a tremor. With a flick of his thick tail, he could send dozens of worker bees flying.

More worker bees pushed beeswax blocks forward, quickly forming a defensive line to block the Beast Boy's path and try to stop the rampaging beast.

Worker bees communicate through scent and the vibration of their antennae, but they do not speak. Even so, the vibration of their antennae produces a buzzing sound that can be heard even by ordinary people.

Beast Boy heard it too, but ignored it, instead speeding up his run, lowering his head, and charging straight at the beeswax.

"Ow!"

Amidst the roars of the beast, the green Tyrannosaurus Rex roared and slammed its head against the beeswax wall.

With a whoosh, the worker bees' defenses collapsed, the beeswax shattered, and a large amount of honey sprayed out. Milky white bee pupae fell to the ground, wriggling in the honey.

The green Tyrannosaurus Rex didn't even look at what was under its feet, charging forward headfirst, crashing into whatever it could find.

The sticky beeswax that landed on the Beast Boy no longer posed any obstacle to him; instead, it thickened the beeswax shell, protecting him from any harm.

"Cool!"

Beast Boy looked at the worker bee he was trampling under his feet and felt a surge of pleasure. This was the joy of crushing an enemy underfoot, and nothing else mattered.

Martin flapped his wings and flew in the sky, not rushing forward, but keeping a certain distance from Beast Boy, observing the overall situation of the battlefield.

There were so many worker bees that flew out of the shattered hive that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe them as densely packed.

Martin was certain that these worker bees were not transformed from the residents of Kolank, because they showed fewer and fewer human traces and certain parts of their bodies had mutated into special weapons.

Not to mention, a considerable number of bee pupae were ejected from the shattered beeswax, clearly indicating that these things grew directly from the beeswax.

Considering that Savage's faction has developed a dependence on Apokolips' biotechnology, regardless of what Sazara did on her home planet, after coming to Earth and forming an alliance with Savage, she will inevitably join this system. "Mr. Martin, why are we growing further and further apart?"

The Beast Boy charged forward recklessly, headbutting an unknown worker bee to death. Turning around, he found himself all alone.

No, he could still see Martin's shadow, but the distance between them was far enough, at least a kilometer.

If there were no other factors, a kilometer would be just a few steps for them, but now there are a large number of worker bees between them, which doesn't seem like an easy distance to overcome.

Not to mention, there wasn't even a trace of the others.

Although Beast Boy knew that Martin would never abandon them, the sudden realization that he was surrounded by enemies alone still sent shivers down his spine.

"Go ahead and push forward without worry. I'm keeping an eye on the overall situation and I'll make sure you don't run into any problems."

Martin calmed the Beast Boy's panic with his composure, gradually calming him down.

"But where should I raid? You need to give me specific orders!"

Beast Boy temporarily stopped in his tracks, his tail whipping around like a steel whip, sending the worker bees flying to ensure his own safety.

"The raid will start when Sazara appears. Don't worry, the appearance of someone like Sazara is no small matter; otherwise, it would be a sign of weakness towards us."

Warfare is different from combat; it is a complex science. Although worker bees do not possess independent intelligence, they are still influenced by the queen bee, Sazara.

The honeycomb mindset sounds transparent, but precisely because there are no lies, it blurs the lines between form and thought.

Therefore, any action or thought of Sazara will affect the actions of the entire hive.

That's why Sazara can't pull off any fancy tricks, because the Hive simply can't understand so-called schemes and plans.

"Okay, I'll follow orders."

Upon hearing Martin's voice, the Beast Boy's courage surged. He spread his legs again, lowered his head, and ran around like a battering ram, smashing everything in his path.

He fully understood Martin's orders: to create chaos and force Queen Sazara to reveal herself. And the best way, of course, was to destroy everything that could be seen.

Although Sazara is an alien queen, in the eyes of the Justice League, the queen's attributes are far more important than the alien attributes, so it is impossible for her to stand idly by and watch her palace be destroyed.

"Martin, are we just going to watch and do nothing?"

Dick and the vixen had already found a place to lie in wait. They both understood the key points of sniping tactics, which were actually stealth and high mobility.

Since they want to target Sazara, they naturally need to make these two preparations.

But watching Beast Boy fight alone among the worker bees always left them with a bitter feeling.

"This is war. There is only the difference between the living and the dead, not the age difference. You all stay put and complete your tasks."

Martin gave them no time for sympathy, directly suppressing the objections of both groups with a reprimand.

Meanwhile, the Beast Boy's raid finally had an effect. The worker bees emerging from the damaged hive were becoming increasingly mutated, with the latest batch even having no relation to bees anymore.

Instead of poisonous needles, they fired energy beams synthesized from some kind of biomass, which rained down like raindrops, melting the beeswax shells covering the green Tyrannosaurus Rex and striking Beast Boy's body.

Martin frowned, flapped his wings, and charged forward, trying to help Beast Boy out of his predicament.

Although he made Beast Boy the vanguard of the assault, he didn't intend to use him as cannon fodder. Of course, he couldn't just let him be surrounded by worker bees and eventually killed by them.

But just as Martin charged out, a dark light suddenly appeared from the cloud-like swarm of worker bees, rising from the ground and rushing towards him in the blink of an eye.

The moment the dark light appeared, Martin sensed the danger. He slammed on the brakes and abruptly changed direction, and the dark light flew past him.

Only then did Martin realize that it was a poisonous stinger, dripping with venom. Even a light graze on his body left a bloody mark, burning with pain that couldn't be relieved in a short time.

"what?"

Martin stopped in his tracks, using his eyes and the tentacles on his head to survey his surroundings. Not long after the stinger flew past, a sweet, cloying scent wafted towards him.

It's not honey, it's pollen!
Although both are sweet, they feel very different, not to mention that pollen contains many indescribable things.

The moment Martin sensed it, he flapped his wings, creating a strong gust of wind that sent the pollen flying back.

"It's rude to come and not reciprocate!"

He wasn't one to take a beating without fighting back. After blowing away the pollen coming his way, he slapped his stomach and sprayed out a large number of bee stings.

These stingers contain no poison, only hardness and speed. They fly out with a whoosh, breaking through the air with a piercing buzzing sound, flying hundreds of meters away, piercing the bodies of worker bees and taking their lives.

From high above, Martin's stingers looked like the Grim Reaper's scythe, sweeping across and killing off a large number of worker bees, who fell down as if their armor had been cut off.

As the worker bees fell, Sazara, who had been hiding among them, finally revealed himself.

She looked no different from a human, even more so than Martin who had turned into a bee, exuding an alluring charm and surrounded by worker bees.

But if anyone thinks that Sazara is some kind of powerless queen, they are sorely mistaken.

Martin touched the burning, bloody welt on his face and said to Beast Boy, "Sazara has shown herself. Come to me right now, take a long detour, and avoid Sazara. She can control people with pollen, and you're inexperienced, so don't fall for it."
