The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3006 Even Masters Have Fears
The group included Qian Ying, Zhou Zixing, Qian Wantong, another master of the tenth level of the Acquired Realm from the Qian family, Zhou Ke from the Zhou family, Ma Xianglong from the Ma family and another master of the tenth level of the Acquired Realm from the Ma family, Han Chengye from the Han family, Ouyang Min and Ouyang Nan from the Ouyang family, and Chen Mo, totaling eleven people.

Actually, some experts at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm didn't join the group. This was because if all tenth-level Acquired Realm experts went to collect honey, the camp would be in a very passive position should something happen. Therefore, each family tried to leave behind at least one tenth-level Acquired Realm expert, and the other families couldn't object.

However, due to Ouyang Nan's relinquishment of power, only Ouyang Min remained as a tenth-level Acquired Realm martial artist in the entire team. Therefore, in this operation, the only remaining member of the Ouyang family was Ouyang Min, a tenth-level Acquired Realm expert. After he left, there were no other experts to protect the team.

Before setting off, Qian Ying had already explained the characteristics and placement methods of the Red Thread Fruit and the Red Bee, and had also distributed the Red Thread Fruit to several people in the team according to the number of fruits.

Zhou Zixing and Qian Ying had already been in contact with the Red Thread Fruit and knew that the venomous snakes couldn't get close to them, which was why they didn't keep any of the Red Thread Fruit. Of course, Red Thread Fruit was abundant in the Red Bee area, so they would need to collect even more when they arrived at their destination; each person should have at least several dozen Red Thread Fruit.

The One-Line Red is very fast and its poison is extremely potent. However, due to its slender body, it only has the ability to bite. But once someone is on guard, the One-Line Red's attack methods will be unable to kill any acquired masters.

Of course, this defense requires a martial artist at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm to constantly activate a blood and qi protective shield. Only after biting through the blood and qi protective shield can Yixianhong bite the main body.

To ensure safety, everyone obeyed Qian Ying's orders and placed the pills that restored their qi in the nearest place to them.

The group cautiously entered the bush passage. Some of the creatures, who had never seen a single red flower before, were still talking to others, completely disregarding the danger.

But at that moment, a line of red lightning came hurtling towards his face, snapping open to bite, but it was too fast for him to react.

Fortunately, although the Red-Lined Beast was extremely fast, the person it bit had already activated their blood and qi protective shield. The Red-Lined Beast bit directly onto the shield without breaking through it.

But even that one bite sent a chill down his spine. He hadn't expected the attack from Yixianhong to come so fast that he didn't even have time to react. Luckily, he listened to Elder Qian's advice and deployed the weapon as soon as he entered the bush passage.

Seeing this, the others also became cautious.

After all, you can't learn something just by being taught by someone, but you can't learn it just by being taught by someone.

"Speed ​​up, don't waste time!" Qian Ying shouted.

That attack just now was actually intentional on Qian Ying's part. After seeing the red line, he didn't attack but watched from the side. He wanted to use the red line to wake up the other members of the team.

Furthermore, everyone else has already activated their qi and blood protective shields, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Even if there were problems, Qian Ying would just pretend not to see them. After all, it's better to have someone so careless than to have them at all.

Fortunately, everything was under his control, and the troublesome red line had long since disappeared.

However, unexpectedly, due to the attack from Yixianhong, everyone became more cautious, and their speed naturally slowed down.

Therefore, Qian Ying urged everyone to speed up. After all, it would take more than two hours just to travel through the bushes, and then another two hours at the Red Bees, which would take up a whole night of travel time.

Furthermore, if the energy is depleted for too long, the protective shield of qi and blood will weaken and dissipate, eventually leaving no protection. In that case, they will have to rely solely on their innate domains.

The group sped up, running towards the area of ​​the red bees. As for being attacked by the red bees along the way, they could only tough it out. As long as the bees didn't bite through their blood shield, they would be fine. If they did, they would just have to wait for the antidote.

Once they reached the edge of the woods, Qian Ying opened her domain, encompassing everyone except Zhou Zixing: "Everyone, take a rest for now, and we'll move on later."

Those enveloped by the domain no longer needed to guard against Yi Xian Hong's attacks, and since Yi Xian Hong's innate domain was impenetrable, she could only hover in front of it. All the people at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm began to sit down and recover their strength. The previous run and constant attacks from Yi Xian Hong had depleted a considerable amount of their energy, so they needed to focus on recovering first.

Qian Ying glanced at everyone, then fixed her gaze on Chen Mo within the domain, a slight urge to make a move stirring within her. If she seized this opportunity, this young man would definitely not escape.

However, in the end, Qian Ying suppressed the urge to attack Chen Mo. After all, this was a critical time, and they still needed to use other people. If they killed Chen Mo here, what would the others think?
However, we can choose not to kill him. Let's first examine the young man named Li Mo before us and see what his vital energy is like.

Although his displayed qi and blood appeared to be at the tenth level of the acquired realm, he was still able to defeat Qian Wantong, so it's worthwhile to learn more about him.

Within the domain, Qian Ying was like a god, able to control and observe everything within it.

Therefore, to see Chen Mo's strength, it's naturally a piece of cake, very easy.

However, when Qian Ying followed the field to try and see the amount of Qi and blood in Chen Mo's body, she found that she couldn't see it clearly.

Qian Ying was immediately shocked. He was a peak third-stage Innate Realm expert, yet he couldn't even clearly see the life force of a young man within his domain—it was a joke! But now, this joke was unfolding right before his eyes. How could this be possible?

Chen Mo closed his eyes to rest and did not cultivate to recover his strength. After all, he hadn't expended much energy earlier, and cultivating to recover his strength here would arouse suspicion.

After all, within Qian Ying's innate domain, he didn't believe that Qian Ying wouldn't be secretly observing him.

Therefore, first cast a few defensive talismans on yourself, then cast a concealment talisman. That way, even if someone is secretly observing you, they won't notice anything. As for being surprised that they can't detect you, that's none of your business.

Sure enough, Qian Ying was quite surprised and wondered if she should use some means to find out Chen Mo's secret.

"Elder Qian, shouldn't you make some plans? Otherwise, if we all rush up at once, we might alert the queen bee of the Red Bees," Zhou Zixing transmitted to Qian Ying from the side.

This forced Qian Ying to abandon her plan to observe Chen Mo and instead begin communicating with Zhou Zixing.

The two ultimately decided that each would lead a team, one to collect red thread fruit and the other to collect honey.

Also, we need to enlarge and make the exit of the bush passage more noticeable, so that it won't be like last night when we couldn't find the entrance for ages, which would cause problems.

Also, tonight, find a new beehive to collect honey. Do not go back to the beehive from last night, or the queen bee will call on the red hornets to attack them again.

After reaching an agreement, they began to take action.

Chen Mo and Ouyang Nan were naturally assigned to Zhou Zixing's team. After all, Qian Ying disliked Chen Mo and felt an urge to attack him whenever she saw him, so she assigned him to Zhou Zixing's team.

Because the task involving Red Thread Fruit was quite demanding, the team needed to be larger. Everyone handed their water bottles to Qian Ying's team and then began their mission with Zhou Zixing.

However, the exit location had been destroyed by Chen Mo the night before last, leaving only black soil. Therefore, the only way to collect red thread fruit and honey was to walk towards the flower fields that were more than 200 meters apart.

This time, Zhou Zixing and Qian Ying changed directions, collecting honeycomb on the left and red thread fruit next to it.

Chen Mo followed Zhou Zixing and took the opportunity to tell Lan Caijie not to cause trouble. This time, they should collect the red thread fruit and honey, otherwise they would fall behind the exploration progress again.

Upon arriving near the beehive, one finds numerous red thread fruits growing amidst the sea of ​​flowers, making them easy to collect.

However, the honey-collecting team was somewhat overwhelmed.

The main issue was that Qian Ying seemed to have developed a slight fear of the red bees, so she stood a distance away from the hive, not wanting to get close. Therefore, the people who opened the hive to collect honey, although they didn't know why, were also cautious and dared not make any big moves after hearing Qian Ying's whispered instructions.

Originally, he wanted to switch places with Zhou Zixing and lead the team to collect Red Thread Fruit. However, Zhou Zixing's strength was somewhat inferior to his.

Considering the characteristics of the beehive, he ultimately decided that he would lead the team to collect honey.

Furthermore, Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing didn't separate, since they could search for honey and red thread fruit together. Besides, it was best not to separate in this area; if they disturbed the red bees and something like what happened that night occurred, it would be extremely dangerous.

With everyone together, if the red bees in the hive are disturbed, the retreat will also protect the other warriors.

However, when the person opened the beehive, the red line around the beehive swarmed up and began to attack Qian Ying's domain barrier.

Furthermore, the number of red bees is increasing rapidly. These red bees are protecting the hive, so they will naturally swarm in when the hive is damaged.

Originally, Qian Ying's domain was good enough to protect herself, but she became somewhat overwhelmed because she had to take care of many martial artists and deal with many attacks from the front-line red warriors.

So, when the honey was first opened, the martial artists worked together to pass bottles and fill them with honey without any problems. However, as time went on, the number of honeybees increased, and the collectors began to dig deeper into the hive. As a result, Qian Ying's area was somewhat neglected.

In addition, since Qian Ying was a bit far from the hive, his focus was on dealing with the first red bees, and he couldn't control the red bees in the hive. He was also worried that if he expanded his territory too much and the queen bee sensed it, he would have to go through everything that happened last night again.

Therefore, Qian Ying was always cautious about the area inside the beehive and dared not go too deep.
