Su Tang nodded, "That's quite possible. Didn't you say there's no prey in the back mountain? Maybe these two rabbits came from somewhere else. We caught the only litter of rabbits there."

The mountain ranges here are all connected.

The hill behind it is relatively low and not that dangerous.

It's near the orcs' territory, so wild animals usually don't go near it.

They were lucky enough to catch the rabbit family because there were carrots here.

As for the large snake, that was quite unexpected; the warm season is precisely when snakes are most active.

Wolf Nini smiled so hard her eyes narrowed into slits; she was sure she'd get to eat meat again today.

Food earned with your own hands tastes better than anything else!

"Nini, you keep this rabbit, I don't want it..."

Just as Su Tang was about to say that she shouldn't get the rabbit this time, she saw Lang Nini snap the neck of the still-breathing rabbit with a snap, stuff the rabbit into the animal skin bag with one hand, and carefully put the other into the basket.

"A-Tang, what did you just say?"

After doing all that, she turned and looked at Su Tang with a puzzled expression.

Su Tang: "..."

The two dug up another bunch of carrots, but this time Su Tang couldn't find any new crops.

But that's normal; how can you be so lucky every time?

As Su Tang descended the mountain, she heard a buzzing sound.

She stopped and looked around in confusion. Was she hallucinating?

"Snap!"

A drop of yellow liquid landed on her lips.

Su Tang subconsciously licked it; it was sweet!

Looking up, a huge brown honeycomb hung overhead, with countless tiny yellow bees going in and out—a truly spectacular sight.

"A honeycomb? Honey!"

Su Tang's mind went blank for a few seconds before she suddenly snapped back to reality.

Today wasn't just unlucky, it was incredibly lucky!

This is good stuff!

"A-Tang, what are you looking at?" Lang Nini stopped and curiously followed Su Tang's gaze.

Seeing that it was a bee, she pulled on Su Tang.

"Atang, these insects are too small, they don't have much meat, they're hard to catch, and they hurt a lot when they bite you. They don't taste good either." She remembered that some children in the tribe used to catch these insects and eat them, and their heads swelled up like pig heads.

Any living creature that can move is merely prey in the eyes of the orcs.

The difference is: some can be eaten, and some cannot.

Bees are obviously not edible.

Not only is it unpalatable and dangerous, but it also won't fill your stomach. Orcs wouldn't do something so unprofitable.

"Nini, this is a bee. Bees don't taste good, but their hives are full of honey, which is sweet and delicious," Su Tang explained.

She felt like she had become Wolf Nini's little encyclopedia.

Wolf Nini still looked bewildered. "Why do they eat their beehives? Can you even eat the beehives?"

She didn't understand.

Aren't dens places where wild animals live?

Just like the caves where orcs live, I've never heard of eating caves.

Wolf Nini's mind couldn't process it for a moment.

Su Tang smiled and said, "It's edible, even sweeter than fruit. Would you like to try some?"

Xiao Fu loves sweets the most. If she brings honey back, Xiao Fu will be so happy that her tail will wag.

Like Xiao Fu, Si Bao also loves sweets the most.

"Yes!" Wolf Nini nodded without hesitation.

Regardless of whether it's a nest or not, if A-Tang says it's edible, then it's edible.

If she doesn't understand, she doesn't understand; as long as it's edible, that's fine!

Wolf Nini has never liked to make things difficult for herself.

Su Tang decided to take the honey back with her.

Under the blazing sun, it was a good time to start a fire. Su Tang found a shady spot under a tree and started a fire there. She also found some mugwort, lit it, and placed the smoke under the beehive to fumigate it.

The two people held mugwort under the tree.

The three wolf cubs were very clever. They knew what the mugwort Su Tang used looked like, so they went into the bushes to bite off some mugwort and bring it back.

These days, Su Tang has been carrying the kittens every day and going up the mountain every few days, which has improved her physical fitness. She can hold the mugwort for half an hour without feeling any soreness in her arms.

Wolf Nini has a stark contrast between her physical strength and personality.

After an unknown amount of time, Wolf Nini suddenly looked up and exclaimed in surprise:

"A-Tang, look! Those... those little bugs seem to have all run away!"

"Bees," Su Tang corrected her.

Wolf Nini muttered to herself, "Mifeng... what a strange name."

Su Tang looked up and saw that the once dense swarm of bees had dispersed, with only a dozen or so remaining nearby.

After smoking it for a while longer, all the bees flew away.

"Alright, now we can take the honeycomb down." Su Tang stomped out the mugwort, clapped her hands, and suddenly realized something.

That is... she doesn't seem to be able to climb trees.

The tree is about ten meters tall, and the trunk with the beehives hanging from it is about four or five meters tall.

The bees were driven away by the smoke, but how to get the beehive down became a problem.

"Um, I can't climb trees, this is too high..."

Su Tang initially wanted to go back and ask Da Qing for help, since Da Qing could fly. However, she then remembered that Da Qing's identity prevented him from entering the Gray Wolf Tribe.

“I can! Ah Tang, give me the basket.”

Before Su Tang could finish speaking, Wolf Nini was taken from Su Tang's basket, and the carrots and the rabbit with its neck twisted were poured out.

Then, he lined the basket with leaves, carried it on his back, and nimbly climbed the tree.

The tree-climbing action was swift and fluid. By the time Su Tang came to her senses, Lang Nini was already riding on the tree trunk, directly above the beehive.

Looking down at Su Tang, he called out, "Su Tang, how do we pick them? Should we take them all down?"

"No need, just take half!" Su Tang quickly waved her hand.
