Chapter 316 - 315, Success_1
"Didn’t Ji Nuan say that if Buzzing Insects smelled thick smoke, they’d flee from their nests?" Ya Li curiously peeked around.
Unfazed, Xiu Yan lounged on a tree trunk, "What’s the rush? They’re bound to struggle for a while."
As expected, not long after Xiu Yan spoke, swarms of Buzzing Insects flew out of the nest, swarming to a distant place in an attempt to escape from the pungent, black smoke.
Xiu Yan and Ya Li’s eyes sparkled. Using the beast skins they had soaked in water, they covered their noses and mouths and rushed at lightning speed towards the large tree with the nest of Buzzing Beasts. Ya Li’s legs transformed into a black snake’s tail, which curled around and pulled down the massive nest.
Xiu Yan transformed into his beast form. With several doggy paddles, he quickly buried the still smoking pile of kindling.
Once their eyes met, they raced together towards the set rendezvous point at the small river.
"Didn’t something happen to Xiu Yan and Ya Li? They’ve been gone for so long."
"You speak like an ominous bird! They’re so capable, how could anything happen to them?"
"They’re surely waiting for the right moment. Don’t we also have to lie in wait for a while while hunting?"
Ji Nuan’s heart was somewhat anxious, worried about whether the method they had planned out would work on the bees in this world.
"Look, isn’t that Xiu Yan and Ya Li?" An orc’s voice sounded excited. Ji Nuan quickly turned her gaze in the direction of the forest.
Indeed, a dashing, majestic silver wolf and a broad black python as thick as a water barrel were coming, the python’s tail even carrying a colossal beehive.
Ji Nuan chuckled and fell in behind the orcs. Seeing her stumbling on the rocky river beach, Xiu Yan quickly transformed back into orc form, stepping forward to scoop her into his arms, "Take your time, why do you need to run? What if you fall?"
Looking at the smelly males surrounding him and then at the soft, small female in Xiu Yan’s arms, Ya Li couldn’t help but feel sour. Everyone’s a beast, so why is there such a big difference?
Ji Nuan lined the carrying basket with large leaves she had gathered before allowing Ya Li to place the beehive inside.
The orcs surrounding the basket curiously discussed, "Isn’t this just a bug hive? Won’t there be only small bugs inside once we crack it open?"
Ji Nuan, who was just about to cut off a bit of the beehive for everyone to taste, immediately got goosebumps after hearing what the orc had said.
She shot a disgruntled look at him. Can’t a girl eat some honey in peace?
Holding the stone knife with a trembling hand, she bent down to cut off a piece of the nest.
The stone knife was taken from her by a large, bony hand. Xiu Yan looked down at Ji Nuan, "Are you dividing this for everyone?"
Ji Nuan heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, "Uh huh."
Xiu Yan quickly wielded the stone knife, handing honeycomb pieces the size of their palms to the orcs.
A honeycomb the size of a palm was placed on large leaves and cradled in the hands of the orcs. The dark brown honey flowed out, contrasting beautifully with the green leaves.
"It’s so sweet!" Mo Qi’s surprised voice came from the side. All eyes turned to him to see him practically burying his entire face into a honey piece, licking it with pure delight.
The orcs glanced at each other before cautiously dipping their fingers into the honey and tasting it. Their eyes gleamed simultaneously.
