next day

As the morning light began to rise and the sound of birdsong filled the entire forest, everyone woke up from their sleep, packed their bags and set off.

When Qi Yanxuan was packing up the tent, he saw Shen Dafu carrying his wife on his back in a strange backpack with a bundle tied in front of him.

The man carrying the basket was sitting inside. I think he did it last night because he was afraid that his wife would have another miscarriage, so he planned to carry her all the way like this.

Walking along this rugged mountain road, everyone stumbled and it was really uncomfortable to step on the uneven stones, but they endured the pain and continued to persevere.

We came to a flat forest. Although it was all ancient woods, it didn't have the gloomy feeling as before. The sun shone through the gaps in the treetops, and the forest was dotted with stars of light. It was as beautiful as a forest in a fairy tale, as if elves would fly out at any time!

But it turned out that there were no elves, and all I saw on the way were beehives scattered here and there.

"Isn't the beehive here too big?" Shen Wenxuan looked surprised.

"Yeah! There must be a lot of honey in it!" Shen Youbao licked his tongue and agreed.

Shen Youqing slapped his silly brother on the head and said, "Eat, eat, eat! You only know how to eat! There are so many beehives and I don't know how many wasps there are. You have to be alive to eat!"

Shen Youbao was beaten. He rubbed his head and looked at his elder brother aggrievedly, muttering softly, "I was just talking! I didn't say I was going to get honey."

When Shen Youfu saw his brother being beaten, he shut up and said it was a good thing that he was slow to speak, otherwise he would be the one to be beaten.

The group of people from Kaoshan Village passed through the honeycomb area. When they were quite far away, they could only vaguely hear screams coming from behind, and the crowd became chaotic.

The villagers looked back curiously, but couldn't see clearly because there were too many people around.

"Who is it? You can't even stop for a moment!" Shen Kui cursed behind him in frustration.

Just as Shen Yanshan was about to go over to check, he was pulled back by Qi Yanxuan. When the crowd screamed, he used his supernatural powers to check, but it turned out that some ignorant people had poked a beehive.

"Uncle, everyone in our Kaoshan Village is here, so don't go over there. If something happens, it's not worth it to implicate the villagers for the sake of others."

"We just need to take care of ourselves. We allowed them to follow us, but we didn't say we would be responsible for their safety. They don't know how to live or die, so there's no need for us to clean up the mess for them."

When Shen Yanshan heard this, he thought it was right. The three of them led the villagers to continue walking. As for whether the people behind could keep up, that was their own problem.

There was a long line of people, and only the front part close to the mountain village was not affected because it was far away.

A large number of people behind were chased and stung by the king bees, and they ran away with their heads in their hands, howling in pain.

After an incense stick of time, the crowd caught up. It was amazing that they could escape from such a large beehive and catch up so quickly. However, some people were missing. No one knew whether they were stung to death or ran away.

The group of people who caught up with us had their heads swollen like pigs, and their eyes were all narrowed into a line. It was unclear whether they could see the road.

Everyone cursed in their hearts the ancestors of those who had stirred up the hornet's nest.

At noon, the team stopped to rest, and people sat in groups of three or five under the trees to eat dry food.

Qi Yanxuan and his friends had already eaten up the rice and flour that they had exchanged with others, and the others didn’t have much left, so they couldn’t exchange either.

Just as Shen Yanqing took out the smoked meat, Qi Yanxuan took out compressed biscuits and dried meat from his bag.

"Uncle, Aqing, let's eat this!" Qi Yanxuan handed the food to the two of them.

Seeing this, Shen Yanqing stuffed the bacon back in.

Each of the three people held a piece of compressed biscuit and two pieces of meat jerky and ate them silently.

After eating the biscuits, he no longer felt hungry, which was a bit strange for Shen Yanshan.

"This snack looks so small, but it's so filling?"

Qi Yanxuan explained with a smile, "Yes! This is a compressed biscuit. Don't underestimate its small size. One is usually enough to fill you up. It's inconvenient to carry too many things when you go out, so this is the most convenient."

"It's quite convenient, much more convenient than carrying rice and flour." Shen Yanshan sighed, he didn't expect that someone could make this kind of dry food, it's really amazing!

As they were chatting, a black bear and a brown bear suddenly walked out from the distance, jumped into the crowd, and soon killed several people. The crowd became chaotic and fled in all directions screaming.

It's just the beginning of autumn, and I think these two bears are out to stock up on food for the winter.

When the villagers of Kaoshan Village saw this, they hurriedly pulled their families towards Qi Yanxuan. They didn't even have time to take care of their bags and just ran away with their families.

When all the villagers gathered together, everyone tacitly protected the elderly, the weak, women and children in the middle. The men took out the hatchets and axes on their waists, and looked nervously at the two big bears that were constantly jumping in the crowd in the distance.

Shen Yanshan took the crossbow from his waist, loaded the crossbow with arrows, and aimed at the bear, but there were people running around the bear, so he couldn't release the arrow for a while.

Just as Shen Yanqing was about to take out the short knife, a hand stretched out from the side, holding a long knife.

As soon as Shen Yanqing turned around, he heard Qi Yanxuan say, "The short sword is too small, take this Tang sword!"

He wanted to give him a gun, but he didn't know how to use it. He would teach him when he had time! A Tang Dao is always more useful than a short sword. An inch longer is an inch stronger, right?

Shen Yanqing took it and pulled out the Tang sword. The blade was straight and slender, and the lines on it looked particularly smooth. It flashed a cold light as it turned.

Shen Yanqing liked it at first sight, but when he saw that Qi Yanxuan was still holding a dagger in his hand, he leaned close to his ear and asked quietly, "Why are you still holding a dagger? I'll block it for you, go get it from your bag."

Qi Yanxuan found him very cute when he saw how serious he was and didn't expose anything. In fact, he could just use a short knife, but Shen Yanqing asked, so to reassure him, he followed his wishes and took out a Tang sword.

At this time, two bears also rushed over here.

Seeing this, Qi Yanxuan hurriedly said to Shen Yanshan: "Uncle! You stay here to protect the elderly and the weak, we will go!" After that, he rushed forward with the crowd to entangle the bear.

Shen Yanqing jumped up and stabbed the knife into the bear's neck. Seeing that he was doing it with ease, the villagers went to attack the other end.

Just as the bear roared in pain and raised its huge paw to fight back, Qi Yanxuan attached his lightning ability to the blade and slashed at the bear's neck.

"puff!"

A large amount of blood spurted out from the neck, and the bear's head fell to the ground instantly.

After dealing with this one, Qi Yanxuan attacked the other one with extremely fast movements, and used the same blade with supernatural powers to chop off the bear's head.

Only a few breaths passed from the start of the fight to its end. Before anyone could react, they just stood there with their weapons raised, motionless.

Shen Yanqing was also a little stunned. He knew Qi Yanxuan was very powerful, but he didn't expect his skills to be so amazing. However, he was only stunned for a moment, and soon recovered and came to Qi Yanxuan's side.
