The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3113 The Siege of the Beasts

Zhou Zixing's amplified voice caused the surrounding beasts to tremble slightly and shake their bodies.

In that brief moment, the shadowy figure atop the beast snapped out of his reverie, a sense of melancholy washing over him. Was it simply old age that made him dwell on the past? It seemed every related event triggered memories of the past.

It's a pity. Even if I saw my master, junior sister, junior brother, and everyone else looking like this, would they still recognize me? Would they still accept me?

Put yourself in his shoes. If your master became like this, would you accept him? Or if your junior sisters or brothers became like you, would you accept them?
should……

probably not!

Absolutely not. Who would accept a being that is neither human nor ghost? Even I would find it extremely repulsive.

Hey!
He felt a tightness in his chest; damn it, he needed to vent!
What did I just hear? These two little mice are trying to leave?

Is this some kind of joke? They broke into the sect, not only destroying many things but also taking medicinal herbs. Now they want to leave? They're dreaming!
Don't these two realize that breaking into someone's house to steal, and then thinking they can just leave after being caught? No way, haha!

Oh, right, there's something else I haven't asked these two guys yet. I should ask them first.

"I have something to ask you two," the shadowy figure said.

Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing felt relieved when they heard the shadowy figure speak. As long as they could talk, it meant that everything was negotiable. If, like before, the figure remained silent and did not let them leave, that would be the most tense situation.

"Excuse me, Your Excellency."

"When you all passed through the Red Bee area, did you damage the Red Bee hives?" The shadowy figure felt a pang of heartache as he thought of the hundreds of meters of black soil.

Back then, that place was covered with beehives, densely packed together. These beehives supplied the entire sect's needs, and the honey from the Red Bees was of exceptional quality, with numerous medicinal benefits; it was even used in alchemy.

However, when they woke up and went to replenish their energy, they found that a large area of ​​the beehive was missing, and the ground also showed signs of freshness, which indicated that this was definitely the work of an intruder.

Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing were starting to feel overwhelmed by their repeated honey-collecting activities. Could the shadowy figure be trying to investigate their honey-collecting, especially since they had actually damaged the beehive while doing so?

So he could only bite the bullet and say, "Sir, when we passed through the beehive area, we found that the honey was very effective, so we slightly damaged the beehive and collected some honey for our own use."

“Oh, yes, yes, sir, if you feel we damaged the beehive, we can compensate you.” Zhou Zixing quickly chimed in, “Also, we can return the honey we collected to you.”

"Hmph! It really was you! You all deserve to die!" The shadowy figure was filled with rage when he heard Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing admit that they had destroyed the beehives when they passed through the Red Bee area. These two guys even said they would return the honey they had collected.

Is he even concerned about that little bit of honey? What he cares about are the beehives in those black soil areas! Hundreds and thousands of those beehives have been destroyed, truly ruining the sect's treasures—an unforgivable crime!
Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing were surprised to see the dark figure become angry. Was it really necessary to make such a fuss over such a small amount of honey?

Keep in mind that there are countless beehives within the beehive area; they only destroyed a few, and even repaired them with soil after harvesting the honey. Compared to the entire beehive area and the amount of honey they collected, it's really nothing.

However, the shadowy figure got angry over this honey. Just how precious is the honey from the red bees?
Yes, we all know that honey can enhance one's strength and is a very mild substance with no side effects. However, compared to the total amount of honey in the entire Red Bee region, the amount they collect is very small; the quantity is truly minimal.

However, judging from the shadowy figure's expression, it seemed that the amount of honey they had collected had already caught the shadowy figure's eye!
How much must one care about honey to have such a reaction?
Neither side really understood a unit of quantity.

One side believes that these two individuals, along with their team, destroyed all of the Red Bee's numerous hives. These hives should all belong to the sect; in other words, since the sect members left while they remained, these hives should rightfully belong to them.

These two people actually destroyed his things while he was asleep; this was absolutely outrageous, like trying to steal food from a tiger's mouth.

On the other side, they collected a small amount of honey, enough for everyone in the team to use for cultivation, while those with higher strength kept more honey for their own cultivation. However, the quantity of this honey was relatively small.

"Hmph, you destroyed so many beehives, and you still want compensation? What do you have to offer in return!" The shadowy figure brandished his stick, pointing it at the two men and shouting.

"No, sir, we really didn't damage many beehives, just a few!" Qian Ying immediately protested. He felt that the shadowy figure had truly wronged them; the honey he and his team had collected really hadn't damaged many, nor had they collected much honey.

Unfortunately, the shadowy figure ignored him, and didn't even consider how these people, if their strength was like this, had managed to evade the attacks of the Crimson Bees and the First Line Red. He shouted, "Hmph, you two are still trying to argue! You damned bastards, die!"

After saying that, he directly communicated with all the strange beasts in the arena through his mind and issued the command: "Attack! Tear them both apart!"

Upon receiving the message, the numerous beasts immediately raised their heads and roared before charging towards the two of them.

Of course, the two smaller bipedal creatures didn't swarm forward. Instead, they automatically separated, with only a few beasts rushing forward while the others surrounded them to prevent them from escaping.

The beasts moved very fast, arriving in front of the two in an instant. Their sharp teeth gleamed coldly as they lunged at the two of them.

"Damn it!" Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing's expressions also changed drastically. They did not expect that the shadowy figure would take action so readily over a little bit of honey, without any hesitation.

It was at this moment that they realized the shadowy figure had no intention of letting them go.

So Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing left to dodge the attack, but instead of rushing up to fight the shadowy figure, they wanted to find an opportunity to escape the encirclement.

Perhaps these strange beasts will expose some weaknesses when they attack the two of them.
