The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3000 The Master Whose Image Was Completely Ruined

The two old men slowed down their running speed slightly, as they were in great pain all over their bodies and faces. Their innate domain had only disappeared for a short time, but in that short time, they had been stung by red bees all over their bodies.

This also shows just how dense the previous swarm attack was.

Fortunately, the two must have drunk the honey in time, so they only felt pain at the sting site, but did not feel poisoned.

Actually, the two didn't need to drink a whole plastic bottle of honey; one sip would have been enough to detoxify them. Moreover, they had tried the honey themselves after secretly entering the beehive, and those few sips were sufficient to neutralize and prevent the poisoning.

However, Chen Mo did not mention the dosage of the antidote when he described it earlier, and Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing did not ask in detail. They thought that it would not be difficult to get some honey in the evening, and they could ask in detail after they got it.

This is not carelessness, but absolute confidence in one's own abilities.

Unexpectedly, the result was a huge loss for the two. There were simply too many red bees. If there had been fewer, there probably wouldn't have been a problem. But now that they had been stung, out of a desire to save their lives, the two of them disregarded everything and drank a large bottle of honey. If they hadn't felt they had drunk enough and needed to continue their journey, they might have consumed even more honey.

As for what to do if the remaining honey supply doesn't meet the demand, we'll deal with that later. Right now, ensuring our own safety is the most important thing.

Having been attacked by the red bees, the two were still somewhat wary of them. Therefore, they continued walking for a while before stopping to check each other's wounds.

After all, feeling is one thing, and observing with your own eyes is another. Without observing with your own eyes, what if the bee venom hasn't been cleared yet? If it takes longer, wouldn't the detoxification become even more difficult?

Fortunately, the two examined the wounds closely with the help of the light and found that the areas where they were stung were red and swollen, but there was no sign of poisoning or blackening, which indicated that there was no toxin.

However, the red and swollen area felt numb, hot, swollen, and extremely painful. Although both were highly skilled, the pain from the sting was still somewhat unbearable.

"Damn it, the wound hurts so much," Qian Ying said.

"Indeed, I didn't expect bee stings to be so painful." Zhou Zixing also twitched, the pain was unbearable.

Fortunately, both of them were seasoned veterans, and they knew that the redness and swelling at the sting site, along with the unbearable itching, were normal reactions. This was because although the bee venom had dissipated, the area around the wound was still affected by the venom, hence the symptoms.

The two of them took out different pills and swallowed them, which could temporarily relieve the pain of their wounds.

They also took out some medicine and applied it to the stings that they couldn't reach, to reduce redness, swelling, and itching.

Now, the two no longer resemble innate masters. Their faces, foreheads, and other areas are covered with red, swollen bumps, especially on their faces, which completely ruin the image of innate masters.

Damn those red bees! There were so many of them, and their attack power was incredible. If I hadn't experienced it firsthand, I truly couldn't imagine that such a tiny bee could possess such formidable strength. Keep in mind, these two were innate masters, one at the second level and the other at the third. Their innate domain defenses were so high, yet they were breached by a bee the size of a fist. How could this not leave them shaken?

If we don't escape this time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

A sense of fear began to creep into my heart regarding the Red Bee region. What should I do if I have to pass through it again?

Thinking of this, Qian Ying said to Zhou Zixing, "It seems that we should consult that young man named Li Mo about how to get to the Red Bee area."

“That’s right, we should consult them properly, so it’s best not to go out and complain about it for now,” Zhou Zixing said.

In truth, he also wanted to comfort Qian Ying. After all, she had been trying to cause trouble for Chen Mo, but Zhou Zixing couldn't stop her. So, he wanted to offer some words of comfort if he had the chance. However, he wouldn't tell Qian Ying about Chen Mo's strength; how could he possibly reveal such a shameful thing to others?

Besides, Zhou Zixing himself is still under Chen Mo's control, so how could he say too much?

"Huh? Something's not right!" At this moment, the two of them realized that after drinking the honey, their bodies felt warm all over, and they also felt that their innate energy was circulating faster.

In particular, the backlash from the previous rapid replenishment of innate power, which caused damage to the meridians, has now lessened. Although the pills he just swallowed had healing properties, they didn't have this effect. Therefore, these effects are due to—honey!

This honey is truly wonderful!
If honey is good, then what about royal jelly?
Oh dear, it hurts so much to think about it, it feels like I missed out on a fortune!

The two old men exchanged a glance, both thinking at the same time, "Want some more? Want some more!"
The two exchanged a smile, but it was a smile that was hard to believe. They were so ugly; their faces and foreheads were covered in several swollen bumps, making them look quite disfigured.

Take out another bottle of honey, take a big gulp, and then savor the taste.

Sure enough, after the honey entered their mouths, a warm current gradually rose from their stomachs and then spread throughout their limbs. Both of them felt a warm, comforting sensation, which was incredibly pleasant. The tingling, itching, and pain at the sting site also lessened considerably.

The taste is so good, and the effects are beyond my expectations, so why do I want to drink some more?

But then the two remembered that the honey they had brought back was intended for the main group. What if they passed through areas inhabited by red bees and someone was attacked and poisoned, and they ran out of honey?
What should we do? We'll see!

Anyway, now that they've both been stung, taking care of themselves and alleviating their pain is the most important thing.

So the two of them swallowed another bottle of honey, mouthful by mouthful.

Wow! This honey tastes absolutely amazing. They're both over a hundred years old; they've tasted all sorts of good honey, but they never expected to find honey here that tastes and has such great benefits.

One bite and their whole bodies felt warm and cozy. The swelling and redness at the sting sites also subsided considerably after drinking the honey.

However, the two of them didn't drink much honey tonight, only ten bottles each. They've already drunk two bottles, leaving eight bottles each. If a large group passes through the red bee area and gets stung, each person will need one bottle. What will happen if there are too many people?
Do they really need to go and get some more honey? But thinking about those red bees that swarmed and attacked them relentlessly, the thought still sends shivers down their spines.

No, no, I don't want to go through that again. However, we could find some people from the team to go and collect the honey; that shouldn't be a problem!

The two exchanged another glance, and indeed, great minds think alike!
Hey!

Although the Red-Lined Serpent is very fast and difficult to defend against, the snake venom will have no effect as long as one eats the Red-Lined Fruit. Therefore, dealing with the Red-Lined Serpent is actually quite simple; as long as you keep your Qi and Blood Shield active, you should be able to hold out for a round trip.

As for the red bees, they still need to secretly collect honey at night. As long as they are not greedy, they should not be attacked by the red bees.
Although she thought so, she couldn't be sure, so Qian Ying decided to ask Chen Mo properly after dawn.

As the two emerged from the bushes, they could see Chen Mo's tent in the distance, right at the edge of the woods. They were able to see it because there was a light source there.

The valley was so dark at night that there was no light at all. Therefore, a light source was needed to illuminate the area all night, so that everyone could see their surroundings clearly in the darkness and be able to see in case of danger.

Chen Mo is currently on night watch; Ouyang Nan, Ouyang Nana, and Ouyang Ruoxi had already been on duty for some time. Although he has the ability to see in the dark as if it were daytime, he hasn't turned off the lights. Just because he can see doesn't mean others can.

Furthermore, on this side of the canyon, it's completely dark, and the three women, including Ouyang Nan, might not be able to sleep. After all, they were unaware that the strange beasts within the canyon were under Chen Mo's control. A night without a single ray of light can feel very unsafe.

Even though all three women were martial artists, they still felt a sense of unease about the night, especially after experiencing the attack by the strange beasts in the canyon a few days ago, which amplified their worries considerably.

Hearing a noise from inside the woods, Chen Mo looked up and saw two old men emerging from the bushes.

He should have kept his eyes open, because once he looked, he couldn't help but laugh. With his excellent eyesight, he could see the two old men clearly.

I really didn't expect that these two old men would no longer have any trace of their former mastery. Not only were they covered in dust and dirt, but their bodies and faces were also covered in swollen bumps, and their clothes were tattered.

Indeed, no matter how sturdy the clothes are, they cannot withstand the frenzied attacks of the red bees.

From the condition of the two old men, Chen Mo could deduce that they were being besieged by the Red Bees.

He must be out of his mind. How could red bees possibly fly out of their hive and attack the two of them at night unless there's a big commotion?
Therefore, these two old Deng must have done something big to alert the Red Bees, which caused them to fly out and attack the two old Dengs in the dark.

However, are these two old hordes just bored or have lived too long? Why don't they just honestly steal honey? Instead, they're trying to provoke red bees. It's like an old man hanging himself; they're tired of living.

Fortunately, the two old men must have drunk the honey; otherwise, they wouldn't have made it out and would have died from the poison long ago. The venom of the Red Bee is not something that can be easily resisted; even a master cultivator cannot withstand its venom.
