Chapter 83 of "New Urban Farmers" (Chapter 83: The Hive - Second Update) - Requesting Monthly Tickets

The spoils of the chaotic battle turned out to be a giant beehive, giving Zhang Guodong a sense of extraordinary joy! What if the beehive, along with the bees, were brought into Peach Blossom Spring?

In the future, we can enjoy a continuous supply of wild honey and even royal jelly, and the plants in Peach Blossom Spring will benefit the most, right? In the past, Peach Blossom Spring had air currents to spread plant pollen, but this was not as efficient as bees, and it would kill two birds with one stone.

Furthermore, wouldn't the honey produced in this environment, rich in spiritual energy, be of even higher quality? Truly royal jelly!

With tens of thousands of wild bees constantly near the large hive, Zhang Guodong was at a loss as to where to begin.

I didn't expect to encounter a beehive this time, so I didn't prepare any beekeeper's equipment to cover my head, neck, and hands tightly.

"This is troublesome!" Zhang Guodong said with some worry.

Old Qing occasionally let out a low howl, seemingly wondering why Zhang Guodong wasn't making a move. Instead, he remained hidden about ten meters away, not advancing. Da Hei, Er Hei, and the four little greens were drooling a little.

Zhang Guodong faces two major problems.

How do we get the beehives into Taoyuan?

Secondly, Peach Blossom Spring isn't big enough right now. If a large number of wild bees are brought in, how will he get back in? Peach Blossom Spring is only so big, and the wild bees aren't like Lao Qing; they know Zhang Guodong is the owner of Peach Blossom Spring. They'll sting him without hesitation!

They consider the area around Peach Blossom Spring to be their territory, and anyone who intrudes is considered an enemy.

The thought of tens of thousands of wild bees moving together like a sky-covering mass of tiny fighter jets sent chills down Zhang Guodong's spine.

But it's impossible for him to give up this huge beehive. So the second concern is not considered.

Zhang Guodong had never tried moving an object into Peach Blossom Spring from a distance of about ten meters. Usually, objects he could easily move were those he could touch, but moving them out of thin air was something he had never done before.

Is this feasible?

Zhang Guodong was somewhat tempted.

"No rush, no rush!"

Where should the beehives be placed? That's a problem too. Although the area of ​​Taoyuan is expanding, the rate of expansion is not yet satisfactory to Zhang Guodong. Placing them on the ground or in trees is not an option.

If we put them on those transplanted trees, he'll have to wear a hood to get close to them from now on!

We need to find a substitute!

Zhang Guodong then began searching in the woods.

Over time, some trees in the mountains have withered and died, either by external forces or naturally. Zhang Guodong was looking for these trees. He moved the larger, dead trees into Taoyuan and hung the beehives higher up there. This would greatly reduce the danger to the people below.

But Zhang Guodong, to his astonishment, searched the entire area within a hundred meters and couldn't find a single large withered tree, not even a small tree trunk. Is it true that this land of China's dragon vein is teeming with life?

Is it really that mysterious?

Zhang Guodong chuckled and shook his head. His eyes suddenly focused on the pebbles in the ravine. He hesitated for a moment, deciding that he had to settle for something less. There were still people waiting for him ahead, and he couldn't afford to waste too much time.

"Although there aren't any large dead trees, we can find a few large pebbles to temporarily place the beehive there. We can move it again when the Peach Blossom Spring area gets bigger. But it'll be very convenient to harvest the honey. That's all we can do!"

Zhang Guodong acted on his ideas immediately.

Zhang Guodong moved over a dozen pebbles, each weighing over a hundred pounds, into Peach Blossom Spring and scattered them haphazardly next to the spatial barrier on the right side of the spatial pool. In the middle of the pebble pile, where there was space, Zhang Guodong placed a bucket—perhaps he could collect some honey or something.

A new area of ​​about fifteen centimeters has been cleared here. It seems that the transplanting of the meat spirit mushroom and the old trees that were bought on the black market played a significant role. Of course, the spiritual energy fluctuations on the ground where the meat spirit mushroom was buried were the strongest. The spiritual energy threads were all drawn into the ground and absorbed by the meat spirit mushroom.

After finishing all this, Zhang Guodong left Taoyuan and started collecting firewood.

Since there were too many wild bees and it was inconvenient, he had no choice but to drive most of them away, leaving only a small number. Otherwise, Peach Blossom Spring would become the domain of wild bees, and besides, does Peach Blossom Spring even have enough pollen to collect now?

Obviously not enough!

"Awoo!" At this moment, Lao Qing, Si Xiao Qing, Da Hei, and Er Hei howled in one direction as a warning.

Zhang Guodong was startled and quickly turned around to look, then froze for a moment.

"Here we go again? Still not giving up?"

Surprisingly, the two adult bears, one male and one female, appeared a few meters away, watching them. When Lao Qing and Liu Xiao warned them, they didn't leave. Instead, they stared at Zhang Guodong.

Zhang Guodong, who was surprised, actually sensed that the two big bears were not hostile.

"Huh? What's wrong? Didn't you get enough rest?" Zhang Guodong shook his head in surprise, and the strange feeling vanished. Hallucination?

But when Zhang Guodong looked at the two large bears again, he was less wary.

Zhang Guodong decided to give it a try.

Upon entering Xia Taoyuan, they retrieved two large black fish. Zhang Guodong flicked the water, and the two fish flew towards the bear couple. At first, the bear couple saw two dark objects flying towards them and immediately tried to run away, but they stopped because Zhang Guodong and Lao Qing didn't move.

Two blackfish were struggling violently about ten meters away from them. From the tank to the sixth floor, the fish had become weak and limp.

The bear couple glanced at Zhang Guodong with suspicion. Unable to resist the temptation, they ran over and took a bite. They had seen fish before, in the mountain streams and pools, but fish were so scarce in the mountains that catching one was extremely difficult.

That's delicious food!

Seeing the bear couple eating so happily and so quickly, Zhang Guodong suddenly laughed. These bears are really stupid, daring to eat like that? What if there's a trap? They were just attacking him angrily a moment ago!

But Zhang Guodong didn't know that higher animals like bears could already sense spiritual energy, though the size of the animal varied. A faint spiritual energy emanated from Zhang Guodong's body. "Yes, big!" he thought. "The bear should have sensed my friendly intentions before. But in its rage, the bear went berserk and didn't care about spiritual energy anymore."

Reluctant to flee, he shifted his attention to Zhang Guodong, and this time he sensed an affinity for spiritual energy.

The black fish were raised in the spatial water. The spiritual energy inside was easier to absorb, so the bear couple naturally had no suspicions and ate them without any restraint.

"Old Qing, come here!" Zhang Guodong said to Old Qing with delight when he saw that the bear couple had quickly finished eating the two fish.

Old Qing walked over gracefully. Zhang Guodong glanced at the bear couple, then patted Old Qing on the back affectionately. The bear couple, however, were watching Zhang Guodong's every move.

This is also a form of inducement!

He and Lao Qing were very close, but this was all for the bear couple to see. Whether the bear couple understood or not, Zhang Guodong didn't know.

But in any case, animals are extremely sensitive to hostility and goodwill. The old man walked up to the bear couple and howled twice, which elicited low growls from the bear couple, as if they were communicating.

The wolf and two bears, who had been fighting side-by-side, were now seemingly negotiating, having stopped fighting even at close range. This amazed Zhang Guodong.

The world is full of wonders!

Do animals really speak? Is it a common way for animals to communicate?

Zhang Guodong wouldn't have believed it in the past. But now it's hard to explain; perhaps animals have their own way of communicating with each other, even between different species.

Then Old Qing returned, followed by Bear Husband Poison. He looked up at Zhang Guodong and Liu Xiao. Bear Husband Poison, in particular, was the one he feared most. The wounds on his body were still fresh in his memory!

"Old Qing is really something!" Zhang Guodong knew from the situation that "the negotiations were successful. The bear couple actually accepted Old Qing's offer?"

However, Zhang Guodong was still a little nervous when he first came into close contact with adult bears in the wild. He only relaxed when he touched the backs of the two bears and they became quite affectionate towards him.

It's so fluffy and thick, no wonder an iron bar got stuck inside—it's full of fat!

This bear couple doesn't seem to lack food!

When Zhang Guodong stroked the bears, the fierce look in their eyes disappeared and was replaced by gentleness and affection.

"We've become friends through this fight, so why don't you just follow Lao Qing around in these mountains?" Zhang Guodong said.

After a brief pause, "Shall I take you inside for some fresh water and maybe do some renovations?"

With a thought, Lao Qing, Liu Xiao, and the bear couple all entered Peach Blossom Spring, which became very crowded. The boxes collapsed with a crash, damaging many seedlings.

But at this moment, they didn't care about anything else. As soon as the bear couple entered, they rushed to the spatial pool, drank in large gulps, and then closed their eyes in enjoyment.

It was as if Zhang Guodong was transforming them, so he didn't disturb them.

A few minutes later, Zhang Guodong led them back to the woods. This time, the bear couple were much more docile, and their eyes held a hint of intelligence. Zhang Guodong patted their heads and gestured for them to follow Lao Qing.

The unusual hunting party of five wolves, two hiding dung bears, and two dogs quickly disappeared into the forest.

The rest, Zhang Guodong's matter, will be easy to handle.

Now that we've decided to drive away most of the wild bees, things will be simple.

They piled firewood near the hive and lit it. The burning leaves and dry grass immediately filled the air with choking smoke. The wild bees were thrown into chaos.

Zhang Guodong immediately crawled to the ground, too afraid to move.

This is a simple emergency defense tactic. Wild bees generally don't sting people who are lying still on the ground. They target people or animals that are moving.

The moment seemed about right. Zhang Guodong immediately approached the wild bee nest, locked onto it, and then used his mind to teleport!

"Enter!"

A tremendous sense of exhaustion surged from his soul. Zhang Guodong's face turned pale instantly.

The ground-based wild bee nest and thousands of wild bees vanished simultaneously—and of course, the enormous queen bee was also gone! Only her presence could have gathered so many wild bees.

In Peach Blossom Spring, a giant beehive suddenly appeared atop the cobblestones. Thousands of wild bees were momentarily panicked, but they quickly calmed down. Since the queen bee and the hive were still there, they were no longer in a hurry.

"This is really bad, it's so difficult!" Zhang Guodong, lying on the ground with a pale face, groaned violently from a headache and didn't want to get up. Moving around a beehive this big—there were probably more than twenty of them—was enough to give him a splitting headache.

Clearly, "contact carrying" and "moving out of thin air" are two completely different concepts! The mental strain is enormous, requiring considerable time to recover.

"Fortunately, all of this is sorted out!" Zhang Guodong thought bitterly. He wouldn't dare try this again; when things are hopeless, he can only give up! Or he can wait until he's stronger before trying again. He could feel himself slowly becoming stronger, both physically and mentally!
