"Quickly remove the beehive; it'll be a good meal. But be careful not to get stung by the bees," the Crown Prince instructed.

A guard immediately obeyed the order. He carefully examined the beehive and found that there were no bees flying around, only some bees lying motionless on the hive.

Perhaps due to the low temperature, the temperature in the mountains is very low in the morning, and the bees are not very active. This is the best time to harvest the beehives, and you don't have to worry about being stung.

The guard leaped up and slid across the steep cliff face as if it were flat ground. In a few steps, he reached the rocks above the cave entrance, picked a few pieces of honeycomb, and jumped down.

This guard was incredibly skilled; most people couldn't climb up there, but he did it with ease.

Li Hui took a piece of honeycomb, and a pure honey aroma wafted out. There were several large bees wriggling on the honeycomb, but perhaps because the temperature was too low, they flapped their wings but could not fly.

Li Hui was startled when he saw the large bees. They were huge, even bigger than wasps. If he got stung, it would be no joke.

The group was so hungry that they grabbed the honeycomb and stuffed it into their mouths, eating the honey and honeycomb together.

After eating a large piece of honey, the group felt noticeably stronger and their spirits improved considerably.

There were still a few beehives on the rock. The guards picked off all the remaining beehives. Such good stuff couldn't be wasted; the Crown Prince would definitely want to eat it when he returned.

At this moment, they could see the sun in the eastern sky, and after considering the location of the mountains they had seen yesterday, they basically determined the direction they needed to go.

The group left the cave and entered the dense forest, where towering trees blocked out the sun, but fortunately, they could still vaguely see the sun's position.

With the sun as a reference point, you won't get lost in the dense forest. Once you get out of the forest, things will be much easier.

They had only taken a few steps when they heard someone shouting in the distance.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, where are you?"

Although the sound was far away, it was very clear, and at that moment they felt it was the most beautiful sound in the world.

"The Crown Prince is here! Come quickly!" Several guards shouted almost simultaneously.

Finally, a response was heard from afar, and then more sounds came from there.

"Stay there and don't move, we're coming right away."

Judging from the sound, the person calling for help should still be some distance away and it will take them a while to get here. Let's wait for them here to prevent them from getting lost.

Li Hui completely relaxed, and they sat down on a large rock, waiting for the rescuers to arrive.

"Bring me a piece of honey," Li Hui ordered.

The guard immediately handed over a piece of honey, which Li Hui took and ate.

The honey smelled wonderful; the air was filled with its sweet aroma.

A bee flew over, and a guard raised his hand and slapped it to the ground. It was a huge bee, the same kind that had been perched on the hive earlier.

As soon as the temperature rises, these bees become active and can already fly.

At first, the group didn't pay much attention. Every now and then, a few large bees would fly by. One of the guards drew his sword from his waist and with a light swing, cut the bees flying in the air in two, and they fell to the ground.

Several guards found it amusing and drew their swords to kill the bees. Gradually, there were many severed bees on the ground.

The number of bees increased, and they were struggling to cope. It wasn't until Li Hui was stung on the head that they realized something was wrong.

This sting was no small matter; Li Hui was in unbearable pain and couldn't help but cry out.

In an instant, the number of bees suddenly increased, flying everywhere and making a buzzing sound all around.

"Run! The swarm of bees is coming!" A guard grabbed Li Hui and ran.

By this time, the rescuers had arrived in the dense forest and were walking quickly toward them.

As soon as Li Hui and the others ran, the bees found their target and almost all of them rushed towards them, stinging them wildly.

The group ran and swatted at the bees on their bodies, but it was no use.

More than a dozen people came to the rescue. As soon as they arrived, they saw something like a dark cloud flying towards them. One of the villagers quickly realized what was going on.

"Mountain bees, how come there are so many mountain bees?"

After being reminded by the villager, everyone was shocked.

They had heard that deep in the mountains and dense forests there was a kind of mountain bee that looked like a honeybee, and that its venom was extremely potent; three mountain bees could sting a cow to death, and killing a person was no problem at all.

The villagers who came to the rescue were stunned. Going forward at this moment would be tantamount to courting death, but the eldest prince was in front of them. If the eldest prince was stung to death, they would probably not survive either.

Zhao Xian also came over with the rescuers, and was stunned when he saw the scene.

However, he reacted quickly and immediately thought of using smoke bombs to drive away the bee swarm. He searched in the system and quickly found a highly effective smoke bomb for driving away bee swarms.

These smoke bombs are somewhat like water guns that modern children play with. They are disposable; once the trigger is pulled, the smoke bomb will be launched and explode in the air, producing a large amount of smoke, thereby achieving the purpose of repelling bee swarms.

Zhao Xian immediately bought several smoke grenades and shouted at the bewildered people on the scene:

"Everyone, lie down."

Upon hearing Zhao Xian's shouts, Li Hui and the others, as well as the rescuers, immediately lay down on the ground.

Zhao Xian immediately aimed the smoke grenade at the swarm of bees above Li Hui and pulled the trigger.

With a loud bang, the smoke grenade flew out and exploded in mid-air.

Without hesitation, Zhao Xian fired all the smoke grenades in his hand in one go.

After several loud explosions, smoke immediately filled the air, but since everyone was lying on the ground, the smoke had no effect on them.

The smoke generated by the explosion of the smoke bomb was very effective in driving away the bee swarm. In the center of the smoke, a large number of mountain bees were unable to fly away in time and were all stunned by the smoke, falling down one after another.

The mountain bees on the outskirts fled as soon as they came into contact with the smoke.

Soon the smoke cleared, and not a single mountain bee could be seen on the scene. But everyone was still lying on the ground, face down, not daring to move.

That's good. No one at the scene saw my series of actions just now, so I can explain it to anyone who asks about it later.

"The mountain bees have been driven away, they're all fine now, get up," Zhao Xian called out.

Everyone looked up and, after confirming that the swarm of bees had completely departed and there was no longer any risk, they all stood up.

Several guards also got up from the ground and quickly stepped forward to help the eldest prince, Li Hui, up.

The rescuers quickly gathered around, and were immediately stunned when they saw Li Hui and his guards.
