Seeing his opportunity, Val seized it. He used his psychic connection to command the undead: "Attack!"
Like the extensions of Val's will, the undead sprung into action. They leaped at the worker bees who were frantically trying to fly away.
In response, the bees retaliated, their sharp and curved stingers lunging forward, penetrating the skeletal frames of the undead. The stingers pierced right through, protruding from their backs. But it failed to do anything to the undead as they lacked the ability to feel pain just like Val. Their lack of a traditional nervous system made them immune to the physical agony that such a strike should have caused.
Not to mention, the worker bees' stingers, now lodged deeply in the undead, acted like hooks. As the bees desperately attempted to take flight again, they found themselves inadvertently dragging along the undead.
