Green sap splashed on his face, but he didn't bother to wipe it off because more bees swarmed over him.

While desperately trying to fend off the swarm of bees, Wang Fan shouted loudly to the sand sculpture, "Fly upwards!"

Upon hearing the command, the sand sculpture flapped its wings with all its might and took flight. Seeing that the swarm of bees was gradually slowing down, Wang Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"These guys are easy to deal with one by one, but a group of them is really troublesome. Fortunately, they don't fly very high," Wang Fan muttered to himself.

Wang Fan continued to direct the sand sculpture to fly higher and farther, finally managing to get away from the bee swarm.

Due to their limited speed, the bees could no longer catch up and had to return dejectedly.

Wang Fan's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he slumped onto the sand sculpture's back, panting heavily.

"Finally, we've gotten rid of these troublesome guys." Wang Fan calmed himself down and then said to the sand sculpture, "Let's go back to the sailboat."

The sand sculpture understood his meaning and flapped its wings, flying towards the sailboat.

At this moment, Wang Fan was lost in thought, recalling the thrilling battle with the bee swarm he had just fought, and pondering what methods he should use to deal with bee swarms next time.

But after thinking it over and over, he couldn't come up with a perfect solution. Frustrated, Wang Fan rubbed his head and said, "Forget it, I'm not going to think about it anymore. Things will work themselves out!"

………

As soon as the sand sculpture landed steadily on the deck, the five women immediately surrounded it, eagerly asking about the situation.

Qin Xiaoxuan then asked, "Wang Fan, what's the situation on the island?"

Wang Fan took a deep breath and explained, "There seem to be three major forces on this island. To the east is a group of giant bulls, and the leader of the giant bulls has reached the second level of strength."

"There are two bears to the north, both of which are at the second tier."

"There's also the bee swarm in the middle of the forest. I haven't figured it out completely yet, but I estimate it's around level three."

Upon hearing this, the women's expressions all became very serious.

They hadn't expected the creatures on the island to be so powerful, and despite their efforts to level up for so long, they still hadn't broken through to the first rank.

Su Yaqi frowned and said, "It seems these guys are a bit difficult to deal with."

Hua Nianci sighed softly: "Alas, our strength is still too weak."

The other three looked disappointed and worried upon hearing this.

Seeing their demeanor, Wang Fan quickly comforted them, "Don't be so dejected. You're already better than many people. You've just encountered a strong opponent for the time being, but that doesn't mean we have no chance."

Hearing Wang Fan's words, the women's fighting spirit was rekindled.

Hua Nianci said, "Wang Fan is right. How can we be scared by such a small setback?"

Xiaomeng asked anxiously, "So what should we do now?"

Hua Nianci hesitated for a moment: "Well..."

At this moment, Qin Xiaoxuan seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up: "Perhaps we can stir up conflict between them?"

Upon hearing Qin Xiaoxuan's suggestion, Wang Fan pondered for a moment and said, "That is a good idea, but we must proceed with caution, or we might end up getting ourselves into trouble."

“That’s true.” Qin Xiaoxuan thought for a moment and said, “But we can first observe their habits and activity patterns, find the points where they are likely to have conflicts, and then stir things up and make them run wild.”

“Okay, let’s do it that way,” Wang Fan said decisively.

In the days that followed, the group split into several teams, keeping a close eye on the actions of the three major powers.

Wang Fan rode the sand eagle, circling high in the sky, carefully observing the movements of the bee swarm.

The sand eagle flew cautiously, afraid of attracting the attention of the bee swarm.

I still feel lingering fear when I think about what happened last time.

Qin Xiaoxuan, along with Xiaomeng and Hua Nianci, quietly approached the territory of the two bears.

They hid behind a huge rock, not daring to breathe.

Qin Xiaoxuan focused intently on observing the bear's every move, while Xiaomeng and Hua Nianci gripped their weapons tightly, just in case.

Sisters Su Yaqi and Su Yalin, along with Xiao Hei, waited near the herd of giant bulls.

Little Black lay quietly to one side, while the two sisters stared intently at the enormous bulls.

Su Yaqi held a telescope in her hand, while Su Yalin recorded the number of giant bulls and their movement patterns.

After several days of observation, everyone gathered together as agreed.

Everyone started sharing the information they had discovered.

Wang Fan spoke first: "Sand Sculpture and I discovered that the bee swarm had set up a nest in a towering tree. The tree was surrounded by bee scouts, making it very difficult to get close."

Wang Fan took a sip of water and continued, "Moreover, the entire swarm of bees will only return to the hive after dark; they spend most of their time outdoors during the day."

Qin Xiaoxuan frowned: "This is not easy. Although they are all in their nests at night, it is too dark and it is inconvenient for us to move around."

Hua Nianci pondered, "Is it possible to make a move when they return to their nests but before it gets completely dark?"

Su Yaqi shook her head: "That period of time was too short, and the risk was too great."

Xiao Meng asked anxiously, "What should we do then?"

After a moment of silence, no one could come up with a good solution.

At this moment, Wang Fan said, "Don't rush, tell me your intelligence first."

Seeing everyone looking at her, Qin Xiaoxuan cleared her throat: "We discovered that although those two bears look fierce, they are actually a male and a female."

Xiao Meng couldn't wait to add, "Yes, and they also have several bear cubs, they're so cute!"

Hua Nianci glared at Xiao Meng and then said, "Don't just say they're cute. The key point is that they are extremely vigilant and aggressive when protecting their cubs. Fortunately, the male bears usually go out to hunt for food alone, while the female bears stay in the cave to take care of the cubs."

Wang Fan stroked his chin, thinking, and said, "This could be a breakthrough point. Perhaps we can take advantage of the male bears being out to pick them off one by one."

After Qin Xiaoxuan's team finished their explanation, everyone looked at the two sisters, Su Yaqi and Su Yalin.

Su Yaqi took a deep breath and said, "The giant bull herd goes to a wide open grassland to graze every day. They eat in an orderly manner, with the leader in the center and the first-tier giant bulls distributed on the periphery to protect the old, weak, sick and disabled."

Su Yalin then added, "Moreover, when the giant cattle herd returns to their roost in the evening, they pass through a narrow valley that can only accommodate a few cattle side by side."

Wang Fan's eyes lit up: "This is a good opportunity. We can set up an ambush in the valley."

After careful consideration, Wang Fan decided to change his strategy.

The original plan was to incite them to fight amongst themselves, but it turned out they didn't interact at all, and it's unclear whether this is due to the system rules.

Wang Fan frowned and said, "We need to change our strategy; we can no longer rely on them fighting amongst themselves."

Everyone was stunned, still caught up in their previous plans.

Seeing Wang Fan's confident expression, Qin Xiaoxuan couldn't help but ask, "So, what new ideas do you have?"
