Survival for all, my island is the last pure land on earth.
Chapter 79: Discovering the Beehive and Obtaining Honey
Time flew by and it was 11 a.m., and the temperature reached 50 degrees Celsius right on time.
As requested by Jin Xiaoman, Maoqiu notified the other animals of today's trading location.
This time, the little animals seemed to have figured it out, and they all brought Night-Walking Mushrooms, Shadow-Chasing Grass, and other similar items to trade for them. One little cutie even brought a whole bunch of Star-Patterned Sand in his pocket.
Jin Xiaoman already had enough Iron Wire Vine and Dew Grass, and was just waiting to go back that night to make a basic defense value recovery potion.
Today was a day of many happy events, and in her joy, she gave each of the little animals an extra serving of water.
Once the temperature dropped to a level where they could continue exploring the deserted island, Jin Xiaoman ended the transaction. When she turned around, she found that the small animals, who should have dispersed, were still gathered there.
The furball was sent out as a representative to speak: "My lord, they want to say thank you. Thank you for digging up that wicked vine, ensuring everyone's safety, and allowing the souls of our people to return to their tribe."
Jin Xiaoman was quite moved by this part, having not expected it: "I am your lord, it is my duty to protect you. If you have any problems next time, you can come to me. Now, everyone, you can leave."
The little animals were deeply moved upon hearing this. The magistrate was the best person in the world, truly embodying the saying, "He accomplishes his task and leaves without a trace, concealing his merits and fame."
Such adults are worthy of their emulation.
Animals with waists bow, while those without waists lie on the ground, performing a mysterious ritual of intimate contact with the earth.
Jin Xiaoman sometimes felt that dealing with these innocent little creatures made her seem very cold-hearted. They were too pure and naive, and they would repay even the smallest kindness tenfold. Touched by this, they gave Jin Xiaoman another glass of water.
After the animals had gone far away, Jin Xiaoman belatedly realized the heartache. Oh no, she had been too sentimental today.
............
At 2:30 pm, the temperature remained at 49 degrees Celsius, and Jin Xiaoman was sweating profusely from the heat.
Today was strange; there wasn't a breath of wind. Helpless, she stuffed two more ice cubes into her mouth and used a portable mini fan to blow on herself.
Fortunately, after half an hour of searching, she successfully found what she wanted.
A swarm of bees was flying around her head, looking quite busy.
Last night, my mother reminded me that we were running low on ingredients for honey lemonade. Jin Xiaoman vaguely remembered finding a beehive nearby before.
She used her watch to check the various parameters of the bee.
Name: Golden Bee
Strength: 3
Agility: 20
Defense Value: 1
[Danger Level: One Star]
The beehive is quite large, about two or three meters high and two or three meters wide. If we can get our hands on it, we won't have to worry about honey lemonade for a long time.
Jin Xiaoman communicated briefly with the squirrel using the gemstone.
Jin Xiaoman explained her plan: "Later, when we're almost home, I'll put a protective shield on you. You then seize the opportunity to take down that beehive, and I'll store it in my spatial storage. We'll then use the teleportation card to teleport back to the safe house, how about that?"
The squirrel nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
After agreeing on a time and place to meet, Jin Xiaoman continued exploring the forest and soon discovered a large area of chestnut trees.
The brown and green chestnut husks were scattered everywhere, some still covered only by their spiky shells, stuck among the withered grass and pine needles.
More often, a deep crack has appeared, revealing plump, glossy chestnuts that are brownish-red and shiny, and round.
A gust of wind blew, and a few more blossoms fell from the branches.
Jin Xiaoman bought two large sacks from the store and started picking things up without thinking.
Squirrels would definitely love to eat this.
She couldn't help but imagine how happy the squirrel would be when it ate the food.
Before they knew it, a sack was already full.
Jin Xiaoman threw it into her spatial storage.
Suddenly, she sensed movement behind her, turned around, and three hidden arrows shot out.
The shadow wolf cried out in pain and ran away, howling.
It's been too long since any mutated beast dared to launch a sneak attack, so Jin Xiaoman wasn't about to let this guy who had come looking for her get away with it.
Although the Shadow Wolf was fast, both of its legs were injured. Based on the tracks it left behind, Jin Xiaoman and the wolf eventually met at the cliff.
The shadow wolf bared its teeth, its eerie green eyes reflecting a chilling glint.
Jin Xiaoman swept his long spear horizontally: "Dare to bare your teeth? You're asking for a beating."
The shadow wolf, in pain, bared its teeth and glared fiercely once more.
Jin Xiaoman slapped him hard across the face again.
Shadow Wolf moved its mouth slightly this time, but didn't show its teeth again.
A wise man doesn't suffer a loss when he's in trouble. The person in front of me is indeed terrifying. It's no wonder that the wolf was injured earlier.
Jin Xiaoman approached step by step, and Shadow Wolf felt a sense of oppression. His eyes were fixed on the long spear in Jin Xiaoman's hand, wary of this weapon that exuded danger.
Jin Xiaoman moved her left hand slightly, and a lightning strike talisman was cast. The shadow wolf exhaled puffs of black smoke and slowly collapsed to the ground.
Damn it, this man didn't even move his spear, so why did I still suffer a fatal wound?
Jin Xiaoman put the shadow wolf's corpse into her spatial storage, glanced at the time, and then drank two bottles of mental energy recovery potion.
It's time to go find the squirrels and get the beehive.
When Jin Xiaoman arrived, the squirrel was already waiting at the agreed location.
She used a protective shield on the squirrel as planned, then stood quietly under the tree and waited.
The squirrel nimbly climbed and disappeared into the lush foliage in the blink of an eye.
Before long, a small figure appeared near the hive. After thinking for a while, it disappeared into the leaves.
Before long, Jin Xiaoman noticed something unusual about the beehive. Several bees flew out of the hive and began to look around to find the source of the disturbance.
Unfortunately, they wandered around but found nothing.
Jin Xiaoman didn't see the squirrel either.
Just as she was eagerly anticipating what was happening, the branch containing the beehive suddenly plummeted to the ground. Startled, Jin Xiaoman jumped to avoid it.
Then, realizing what was happening, her fingers touched the long branch, and she pulled the entire beehive inside.
On the tree, some of the bees that had flown out, having lost their home, along with their young and queen bees, suddenly became clever and rushed toward the squirrel's location.
Jin Xiaoman then noticed that the squirrel was on the tree trunk.
She shouted anxiously, "Grandpa Rat, jump down, I'll catch you!"
The squirrel may not have heard this, or it may still not trust Jin Xiaoman enough, and it still chose to obediently climb down the tree trunk.
This bee watch only shows an attack power of three points, while the Diamond Shield can provide thirty points of defense. Moreover, the squirrel's agility is much higher than that of the bee, so under normal circumstances, the squirrel will not be in any danger.
But Jin Xiaoman was still very worried.
Whether due to excessive nervousness or some other reason, the squirrel slipped, missed a step, and almost fell into a position that Jin Xiaoman couldn't possibly catch...
