Chapter 32: Into the Thunder Hive
Crow stepped into the entrance of the Thunder Queen Bee's Hive, his heart racing with anticipation. The air around him crackled with static, and the faint hum of buzzing bees echoed from within. His tamed beasts were close behind, each ready for the upcoming battles.
The ground beneath him was covered in a glowing, translucent honeycomb pattern that shimmered under the occasional bolt of lightning from the clouds above. As Crow advanced deeper into the hive, the atmosphere grew heavier, the air charged with energy.
He activated the Taming Space and sent out his most trusted beasts:
Vermilion Bird
Divine White Tiger
Eclipse Wolf
Hell Hound
Black Tortoise (Swanwoo)
Queen Bee (Level 8)
Thunder Serpent
Gloom Serpent
The 30 Rare Bees (Level 8)
The moment the Queen Bee and her hivemates emerged, the entire area seemed to vibrate with energy. The Queen Bee's golden wings shimmered brightly, and her stinger crackled with electricity, ready to defend her domain. Crow smiled, sensing the synergy between her and the environment.
"This is going to be a perfect test," Crow muttered under his breath. "Let's see how much we can push everyone."

The First Encounter
The group ventured further into the hive, and soon, the first wave of enemies appeared—Thunder Wasps. These creatures were smaller than regular bees but much more dangerous. Their bodies glowed with electric energy, and their stingers were capable of shooting bolts of lightning.
Crow immediately gave orders. "Vermilion Bird, use Flame Barrage!"
The Vermilion Bird took flight, its fiery feathers lighting up the surroundings as it unleashed a barrage of searing flames at the oncoming swarm. Several wasps were instantly incinerated, but more kept coming.
"Gloom Serpent, entangle them!" Crow commanded.
The Gloom Serpent slithered forward, its dark, shadowy form oozing poison. It lashed out, its enormous tail coiling around several Thunder Wasps, paralyzing them with venom.
"Thunder Serpent, wrap them in lightning!"
The Thunder Serpent let out a low hiss before unleashing a burst of electrical energy. A crackling storm surrounded the wasps, and the air was filled with the crackling sound of electricity as they were fried into ash.

The Hive's Guardian
As they pushed deeper into the hive, the air grew tense, and the sky darkened. Soon, the last wave appeared—The Hive's Guardians, a group of elite Thunder Bees led by a Thunder Queen Wasp. These creatures were more powerful than the regular wasps, their bodies adorned with golden armor that seemed to conduct lightning.
Crow could feel the pressure rising. This wasn't just another wave—it was the final challenge before reaching the Thunder Queen Bee. He needed to be careful, or they'd be overrun.
"Queen Bee, it's your turn!" Crow called out.
With a loud hum, the Queen Bee took to the skies, her wings creating gusts of wind that swept through the battlefield. Her electrical stinger glowed brightly as she dove straight into the middle of the enemy group. Her Mythical-level potential surged, and her lightning attacks tore through the Guardians, leaving nothing but scorched ground in her wake.

The Road to the Thunder Queen
After the fierce battle, Crow and his beasts found themselves standing in front of the final chamber—the Thunder Queen Bee's lair. The massive doors slowly creaked open, revealing a darkened chamber filled with golden honeycombs and dark, swirling clouds of electricity.
At the center of the room, the Thunder Queen Bee hovered, her eyes glowing a deep, electric blue. Her wings radiated a bright, golden light, and the air crackled with raw energy.
Crow took a deep breath. This was it.
He quickly gathered his tamed beasts around him. "Prepare yourselves," he whispered. "This will be our greatest challenge yet."
The Thunder Queen Bee let out an earth-shaking hum, and suddenly, the entire room was filled with a storm of electricity. Her Mythical-level aura seemed to warp the space around her, making the air pulse with power.
The battle was about to begin.
