Chapter 13 Beehive

After finishing all this, Yunxiang took out a small wooden barrel from the space box, went to the river and filled half the barrel with water, climbed up the huge rock next to it, and put the bucket on the rock.

Then he took out the melons from the space box, broke them in half one by one, picked out the pulp, and put the black melon seeds inside into the bucket.

Then, she threw the melon pulp and rind into the corner at the bottom of the rock. After processing all the melons, Yun Xiang found a total of 5 mutated melons, which far exceeded her expectations.

She ate half of it and wrapped the rest in plastic wrap and stored it.

The mutated melon is not too sweet, but it has a crispy flesh and is juicy. Most importantly, it has no astringent taste. It would be even better if it could be chilled.

Now it is June, which is the hottest period of summer. Even the lowest temperature at night is 31 or 32 degrees Celsius, which is a good time to dry clothes.

Yun wanted to wash the black melon seeds in the bucket, fish them out, and dry them on the rocks. Even if they couldn't dry tomorrow, he could just go home and air them out.

He rubbed his aching waist, poured out the water in the wooden barrel, cleaned it, then lit a fire and sat by it to doze off.

Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer and crawled back into the tent. Before going to bed, he put the defensive talisman in his pocket.

In the morning, Yunxiang was awakened by the buzzing of bees.

She was shocked when she found that the melon rind was crawling with mutant bees.

With so many bees, there must be a beehive nearby. Taking advantage of the humid air in the morning, Yunxiang decided to go to the bushes in front to take a look, and she actually found two nests.

Each hive was the size of a football, even bigger than a bird's nest. She found a suitable spot and observed the bees in the hive while calculating the talismans and attacking the talismans...

You can try the Ice Breaking Talisman, but the one-time Defense Talisman will definitely not work.

Yun wanted to try out the effect of the Ice Breaking Talisman first. She aimed the bow and arrow at the beehive, controlled the force of the shot, and hit the center of the hive. The hive fell, and the bees were frightened and flew out of the hive with a "buzzing" sound, circling above the hive.

He quickly threw the Ice Breaking Talisman at the bees. "Crack!" The bees in the air quickly froze. "Snap!" "Snap!"...

Small ice balls fell to the ground one after another.

Even the bees that were not within the attack range had their wings wet by the cold air emitted by the Ice Breaking Talisman, and they fell to the ground and moved with their wings spread out.

Yun Xiang picked up the beehive on the ground immediately after throwing out the ice-breaking talisman, and did not forget to shake off all the bees on it before leaving.

The remaining beehives are put into the space box, waiting to be taken down and cleaned up together with the other beehive.

She did not return by the same route, but went around to the other end. At this time, there were a lot fewer bees in the hive.

Yun Xiang did the same thing, using up a fire talisman and a defense talisman.

There is no other way. If you don't use the defensive talisman, the burning bees will most likely burn along with the hive.

After collecting the beehive, Yunxiang returned to his previous residence, packed the black melon seeds on the boulder into a cloth bag, and put it into the space box.

Then walk along the stream until you find a clean place. Wash your hands with river water and take out the beehives and glass jar.

The upper layer of the beehive is filled with honey, and the lower layer is the brood comb, where unborn bees live.

Yun wanted to take out a knife, cut off the honeycomb on the bottom layer and throw it away, then cut off the top layer of beeswax and put it in a glass jar.

Beeswax can be used medicinally, so I plan to sell it after I'm done. As for the remaining honeycomb without the beeswax, Yun wants to cut it into small pieces and put them in glass jars to eat himself, either dry or soaked in water.

Yun Xiang wandered through the dense forest for a while and found traces of mutant wild boars.

An adult mutant wild boar is nearly 3 meters long, with well-developed canine teeth that are turned upward, and its stiff mane is its secret weapon.

The wild boar had a bad temper and attacked fiercely. If it wasn't for the fact that it was on the Level 3 list and was a designated item to be collected, Yun Xiang would definitely not be willing to fight it. She had no experience, so even with her level difference, it wouldn't be easy.

Yun Xiang observed the surrounding terrain, chose a good place and started digging a trap.

She first dug a large hole in the ground, large enough to accommodate an adult wild boar, and made two grooves around the edge of the hole with wood.

Then he took out two wooden boards and installed pulleys on the back of the boards, which could just slide in the grooves.

After the wooden boards were placed, a small mechanism with two gears was installed at the junction of the two wooden boards.

It can rotate, and a small wooden stick is installed on one of the gears, which has a similar function to a latch and can fix the wooden boards when they are combined.

Finally, I drilled a hole at each end of the wooden board, tied one end of the rope to it, and tied the other end of the rope to the opposite tree and stretched it straight.

After it was finished, he camouflaged it. Everything looked perfect. Yun Xiang brushed off the dirt on his body and went to pick some angelica seeds nearby.

The leaves of the genus Gleditsia are sparse, and the capsule is spherical. Its stems like to twine, and can be seen on some plants and shrubs.

Its seeds can be dried and used as medicine, and alchemists use them to make pregnancy-maintaining medicine.

Yun Xiang was picking the fruits with great enthusiasm when he suddenly heard a loud "bang". The noise was so loud that he felt the ground shaking.

The power of this wild boar is indeed extraordinary. Yun Xiang sighed as he ran towards the trap.

"It's you!" Yun Xiang opened her mouth wide, her eyes wide open, her face full of surprise. What she caught was not a wild boar, but... a peacock?

Xie Yu pulled out the wood chips from his body, looking angry. When he saw Yun Xiang, he paused for a moment and suddenly chuckled.

Damn it, he just killed a few mutant wolves, how did he end up in a trap! This is karma, huh?

Yun Xiang shuddered inexplicably and rubbed his arms, "Or..." Is he planning to live here?

The posture of leaning against the wall of the pit was not a good look, especially since he was covered in mud, oh, and there was a faint smell of blood mixed in. He must have been in a fight before.

"You, come here!" Xie Yu beckoned, smiling in a charming and graceful manner.

Yun Xiang felt his teeth ache just watching this. Even a fool could see that the man was trying hard to suppress his anger. "What...?"

"Give me a hand, what else can I do?" Xie Yu raised an eyebrow, "Are you afraid of me?"

“…” Yun Xiang walked to the edge of the cave and stretched out his hand.

"Squat down a bit."

"How can I pull it if I squat down?" Yun Xiang muttered, and squatted down as he was told. He couldn't afford to offend the angry man.

Xie Yu suddenly stretched out his arm and pressed the back of her head, instantly closing the distance between them, face to face, with their foreheads almost touching.

Xie Yu's dazzling black eyes stared intently at Yun Xiang, "Do you like me so much? This trap was made for me!"

"Puff!" Yun wanted to slap his hand away and was about to give him a slap, but after hearing what he said, he suddenly changed his mind and said meaningfully, "Yeah--" It was a really big one.

Xie Yu frowned and looked at Yun Xiang suspiciously, thinking something was wrong.

Yun Xiang pretended not to know, stood up expressionlessly, climbed onto the nearby tree branch, took out his treasured teak arrows, and held the bow in preparation.

Xie Yu used one hand to easily jump out of the trap. Was he going to use his ultimate move?

I slowly walked to the tree where Yunxiang was. Hey, shouldn’t the arrow be aimed at him?

Yun Xiang ignored him and stared into the distance. She had just heard some noise.
