The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2983 Beauty and Skin Care
Chen Mo's eyes were shining with golden light as he looked at the red bees flying by in the distance and the red streak crawling on the ground. He couldn't help but rush up and put both of these creatures into his Qiankun Pearl.

Especially those beehives in the distance, they must contain honey made by red bees. If all this honey were mine, it would increase the success rate of refining high-level pills. Also, this honey could be given to others to consume. It's truly a wonderful thing.

Fortunately, Chen Mo resisted the urge to go forward. After all, these things were right there, so there was no rush.

Ouyang Nan and the other two women were naturally unaware of his somewhat anxious mood.

At this moment, the three of them, through the cover of the trees, watched the red bees buzzing by and the red streaks crawling quickly across the ground, and all fell silent.

Putting aside the buzzing bees that fly by, each about the size of a fist, which are not to be trifled with, their speed is comparable to that of a red-haired pheasant.

Moreover, the bees that can survive in this valley are definitely not ordinary bees; they must be some kind of extremely powerful mythical beast.

Then, looking at the red-haired creature darting around on the ground, they were shocked. The three of them had been bitten by the red-haired creature several times on their way here, but after being bitten, they could only watch helplessly as the red-haired creature retreated with lightning speed, unable to catch it at all.

It's not that the First-Rank Reds are particularly strong, but rather that they are incredibly fast. And this is only because each attack is a solo attack; if multiple First-Rank Reds attacked, what would happen to them? They would be covered in bloody holes from the bites.

Even if you've already eaten snake gall, you'll still feel pain from all the bite marks.

They didn't know that after consuming a large amount of snake gall, the Red-lined Serpent would stop biting them. But even if they did know, it wouldn't take just a few to produce pheromones; it would take hundreds or more to have such an effect.

"Amo, look at these red-lined ravenous creatures. There are so many of them. How are we going to get through this area in the future?" Ouyang Ruoxi looked at the red-lined ravenous creatures and felt uneasy, as if the place where she had been bitten was still a little uncomfortable.

Thinking of the slippery, cold body of the 'One-Lined Red' snake, even the taste of snake gall seemed to wane. There were simply too many 'One-Lined Reds,' especially crawling all over the ground. And this was only what she could see up close, through the gaps in the leaves and flowers; how many more lay hidden beneath the vast sea of ​​flowers in the distance?
If they pass through this area and are attacked by so many top-tier reds, what should they do?

"Hmm?" Ouyang Ruoxi didn't hear Chen Mo's reply. She turned her head and saw that Chen Mo was staring into the distance, his eyes fixed on her. She reached out and tugged at his sleeve. When he turned around, she asked him the same question again.

Chen Mo was just thinking about how to catch all the Red Bees and Red Bees in this area when he felt someone tugging at his sleeve. He turned around and saw Ouyang Ruoxi. Hearing her question, he smiled and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I can handle it all. In particular, these creatures are very useful."

"Amo, do you know what breed of bees these are?" Ouyang Nan immediately turned to Chen Mo and asked in a low voice after hearing this.

Chen Mo nodded and said, "I know him."

Then, I gave Red Bee a brief introduction, but not a comprehensive one; I just mentioned a few points.

However, after the three women heard that the honey made by the red bees had beauty and skin-nourishing effects, they automatically filtered out all other benefits. Just this one benefit was already incredible.

You know, every woman would be tempted by the beauty and skin-nourishing effects of cosmetics. All women care a great deal about their appearance.

"Amo, what should we do about these red bees you mentioned? How do we get to that hive and get some honey?" Ouyang Nan asked excitedly, her eyes shining.

Ouyang Ruoxi and Ouyang Nana's eyes lit up as they awaited Chen Mo's answer.

It seems these three women are quite intrigued by the beauty and skin-nourishing effects.

Chen Mo felt three black lines run down his forehead. Is beauty and skincare really that important? Also, he gave Ouyang Ruoxi so much toner. He believed that Ruoxi wouldn't use it all by herself, but would share some with Ouyang Nan and Ouyang Nana.

Having already obtained toner, she still coveted the honey from the red bee. Women's greed for beauty and skincare is truly insatiable. Even a beautiful woman as aloof as Ouyang Ruoxi couldn't escape this greedy thought. It's really...

Chen Mo smiled, thinking that this kind of woman was indeed quite adorable.

“Red bees and single-line bees are easy to deal with, but now is not the time. It would be better to wait until tonight, when I come over and clean this place up. I’ll find some jars, collect some honey, and give some to each of you. However, the environment here is special, and we don’t know how we’ll leave, so we probably can’t take more than we need,” Chen Mo said.

The three women, including Ouyang Nan, didn't dwell on the matter and all nodded in agreement with Chen Mo's point of view. "Amo, isn't it too dangerous for you to come over at night?" Although Ouyang Ruoxi liked beauty and skincare products, she was still unwilling to put Chen Mo in danger. So she disagreed and said, "Why don't we go back and report this to Elder Qian Ying, and then have the main force come? With more people, it will be easier to clear out the One-Line Red and Red Bees in this area."

Chen Mo chuckled and said, "Don't worry, you can rest assured about my abilities. Dealing with these red bees and erythrophles will be no problem at all. Besides, erythrophles usually stay in their hives at night and won't come out. Taking advantage of this characteristic will make it safer to collect honey."

Although the red bee is also considered a mythical creature, it still follows the characteristics of a honeybee, collecting nectar during the day and returning to the hive to rest at night. Of course, honeybees occasionally collect nectar at night, but this is a very rare occurrence.

Bees typically rely on the sun to orient themselves when collecting nectar, which allows them to fly very far and return to the hive.

Of course, this is a valley, a small world without the sun, but with night and day. Although it's unknown how the red bees navigate, once they return to the hive at night, they'll naturally take advantage of this characteristic and then get them into the Qiankun Pearl.

In Qingxuan Zhenren's memory, the Supreme Sect raised red bees and collected honey at night. This not only caused less harm to the red bees, but also prevented them from swarming and attacking.

"Amo, how about I go with you tonight? That way, you'll have someone to help you," Ouyang Ruoxi said to Chen Mo, still feeling a little uneasy.

“Amo, Ruoxi is right. If the three of us hadn’t come with you tonight, it would have been better to have someone to help us. Whether it’s driving away the red spider mites or collecting honey, it would have been much faster,” Ouyang Nan said.

While the speed of the Red-lined Bee is somewhat unsolvable, with some effort, it might not be too much of a problem. Besides, since the Red Bee can return to the hive to sleep at night, perhaps the Red-lined Bee will also sleep.

If Chen Mo knew Ouyang Nan's thoughts, he would definitely be secretly laughing. After all, the First Line Red is a venomous snake, and it's even more active at night. Otherwise, the Red Bee and the First Line Red wouldn't have a symbiotic relationship. At night, the Red Bee rests, while the First Line Red acts as its guard, dealing with any intruders first.

But he couldn't say that yet. Instead, he shook his head and said, "Aunt, Ruoxi, no need. It's better for me to come alone. After all, there are still strange beasts lurking in the canyon at night. Besides, if there's any danger, I can easily escape on my own."

These words left Ouyang Ruoxi, Ouyang Nan, and Ouyang Nana speechless for a moment.

Having no other choice, given his own limited strength, he could only nod in agreement to Chen Mo's idea.

"Let's go back now, and I'll come back at night," Chen Mo said.

“Okay, let’s go back. Taking into account the time spent on the way, it will be about time to meet up with Qian Zhenghao,” Ouyang Nan said.

The four of them then quietly withdrew, no longer lingering at the edge of the woods.

In addition, because of the large number of red-tailed crickets appearing here, Chen Mo caught about ten red-tailed crickets in just a short time.

On their quick retreat, Ouyang Nan asked Chen Mo, "Mo, what should we say if Qian Zhenghao asks us about our investigation when we get back? After all, Qian Zhenghao joined the team to supervise and report to Qian Ying. If we don't have a unified story, it could cause unnecessary trouble."

Chen Mo nodded, realizing Qian Zhenghao's purpose. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Our exploration left considerable traces along the way due to clearing bushes, so there's no need to hide anything. However, if Qian Zhenghao asks, just say that we spotted a type of bee, but didn't continue because we didn't have enough time, so we'll continue the exploration tomorrow."

The three women, including Ouyang Nan, nodded in agreement. Ouyang Nan would be responsible for relaying the message upon returning, while the others remained silent. Of course, if anyone else inquired at the hilltop nursery, their consistent answers would resolve the issue.

When the four returned to the meeting point, Qian Zhenghao was waiting anxiously.

He had fully recovered by now, but because it was getting dark, he paced back and forth in the woods, glancing at the bushes from time to time.

If the agreed time hadn't passed, this guy might have already left. After all, his life was more important. Who knew what might happen in the canyon at night? There were countless strange beasts in the canyon, and a mere eighth-level acquired martial artist like him wouldn't be enough to satisfy their every whim.

"Damn it, why haven't these guys come back yet? Could they have been bitten to death by those Red Guards? If they really are, that would be great." Qian Zhenghao suddenly felt a surge of hope that Chen Mo and the other three would all get their comeuppance after they left.

If that's the case, then he wouldn't have to follow behind these four people with trepidation, acting as the pioneer of the adventure.
