Chapter 388



As soon as the queen bee sensed the comfortable scent, it couldn't wait to extend its little antennae towards Song Tiantian, making a cheerful "buzzing" sound.

When Song Tiantian heard the voice from the Queen Bee, she couldn't help but be stunned, because this voice did not come from her ears, but came to her through mental power.

She could also feel this little guy emitting cheerful waves towards her, and a small tentacle was wrapped around her mental power and rubbing against it constantly.

Song Tiantian: ...

She was busy gathering her mental power and looked to the side, where she saw a purple-gold wasp flying around her, as if trying to find out why her mental power had suddenly disappeared.

[Look, is there a bee next to Tiantian? ]

[It's not a bee. Bees are smaller and have hair. This one is bigger and doesn't have hair, so it must be a wasp. But the color seems a little off...]

[Purple-gold wasp, is there such a species of wasp? ]

[Purple-gold? Isn't this the same color as the Ganoderma lucidum that Brother Yu picked? Could this wasp be related to Ganoderma lucidum?]

Just as these comments flashed through the live broadcast room, Xie Qiaomu, who was splitting a hornet's nest with a knife not far away, suddenly exclaimed, "Why is this honey purple and gold?"

"What?"

"Purple-gold honey?"

"Isn't honey always yellow?"

For a moment, everyone around looked at the hornet's nest in Xie Qiumu's hand.

When they saw the middle of the honeycomb that he had cut open, in the center of those honeycombs wrapped in honey, there was a palm-sized area filled with purple-gold honeycombs that suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

“It really is purple and gold?”

"I thought Brother Xie was seeing things, but I didn't expect there really is purple-gold honey."

"Yeah, but why is the honeycomb in this hornet's nest so strange? Most of it is honey-colored, but why is this small piece in the middle purple-gold?"

"Wait, there are larvae's eggs on the edge of this area. This area should be the queen bee's nest, right?"

"Queen Bee? Could this purple-gold honey be royal jelly?"

"It's possible. The royal jelly that the queen bee eats is brewed by the queen bee, so the color must be a little different from the honey brewed by ordinary worker bees."

"But the difference causes royal jelly to be purple-gold?"

At this time, Song Tiantian also came over to take a look. When she saw the purple-gold honey on the honeycomb, she even leaned in to smell it and said, "It really is."

Xiangfangnan looked at her: "Tiantian, have you thought of something?"

"Hmm." Song Tiantian nodded: "This royal jelly has the scent of Ganoderma lucidum."

"What?"

"The scent of Ganoderma lucidum? What scent of Ganoderma lucidum?"

"Wait, it's not what I think it is?"

What does Tiantian mean? Does honey smell like Lingzhi?

[Tiantian doesn't think this purple-gold honey is made by wasps using purple-gold Ganoderma lucidum, right?]

"Impossible. Wasps also make honey by collecting nectar from flowers. However, the growth of Purple Ganoderma depends on mycelium. It doesn't bloom or bear fruit. How could wasps collect nectar to make honey?"

[The above comment is wrong. From what I understand about wasps, their diet includes more than just nectar; they also eat fruits, insects, and more. Furthermore, the royal jelly produced by the queen bee is not honey, but a secretion from the queen bee's pharyngeal glands. That's why it's called royal jelly, not queen bee honey.]

So, royal jelly is the queen bee's saliva? Uh, uh, suddenly I can't look at royal jelly anymore...

[I've learned a lot! Royal jelly is actually the same as bird's nest! No wonder royal jelly is dozens of times more expensive than regular honey. So that's the reason.]

Now I understand why royal jelly is purple-gold. It must be the royal jelly prepared for the queen bee after the queen bee eats the purple-gold Ganoderma lucidum, so the color is closer to the purple-gold Ganoderma lucidum.

[Yes, if wasps can eat fruits and insects, then eating Ganoderma lucidum is certainly no problem for them.]

But when Tiantian and the others were picking Ganoderma, they only saw one. Could there be other purple Ganoderma in the hornet's nest?

It's not impossible. After all, judging by the age of these Ganoderma, it's clear they've been growing there for a long time. Over that long period of time, there must have been quite a few mycelium fragments scattered around. So, it's possible the wasps have already eaten all the nearby Purple Gold Ganoderma, leaving only this last one...

The queen bee that was originally nesting on Song Tiantian's head immediately flew down from her head as soon as she saw the royal jelly in the hive and flew directly into the royal jelly.

After a while, the whole queen bee fell into the hive in the center of the royal jelly, rubbing its front feet skillfully and eating the royal jelly.

Upon seeing this, Xie Qiumu subconsciously reached out to catch up, when he heard a sudden burst of dense buzzing sounds coming from not far away.

"Fuck, it's a wasp!"

"What? Wasps? Aren't they all fainted?"

"Wait, why are the tails of these wasps also purple?"

"...Could these wasps be the queen bees that make royal jelly?"

For a moment, the entire camp was in a panic, and everyone ran in all directions.

Yu Xiaoming quickly picked up Song Tiantian, who was still standing in front of the hornet's nest, and Fang Nan, and ran into the woods.

After all, the power of a hornet is not something that ordinary people can withstand.

At this moment, the queen bee that flew into the hive to eat royal jelly started to fly up with a buzzing sound. The hornets that had followed the queen bee to the camp by smelling the scent of honey immediately retracted their sharp stingers when they saw the queen bee and surrounded it.

After a while, the queen bee was surrounded by a swarm of hornets. They kept making buzzing sounds, and some of them were flying around the queen bee, as if they were saying something.

Seeing this, Song Tiantian couldn't help but pat Yu Xiaoming who was holding them: "Uncle Yu, there's no need to run, everything is fine."

"No, those hornets are not a joke, they will sting me soon..." Yu Xiaoming said, and subconsciously looked behind him. When he saw that the hornets not only did not catch up with him, but also surrounded the hornet in the middle that looked like a work of art, a hint of doubt flashed in Yu Xiaoming's eyes.

The audience who saw this scene were also stunned.

[What's going on? Aren't these wasps here for revenge? Why aren't they chasing them?]

"No way! Wasps don't seem like they'd let go of someone who poked their nest. Could it be that this nest isn't theirs? That's why they didn't react?"

[Impossible, the purple color on these wasps is exactly the same as the royal jelly in the beehive, so they must be related.]

"Then why aren't they chasing me? Wait, if these wasps are really from the same family as the wasps in the hive, then why are they awake? Didn't they say that the dizziness pills made all the wasps unconscious?"

[Yes, when Brother Xie opened the hornet's nest just now, there were so many unconscious hornets inside. Could it be that these hornets really have nothing to do with the hornets in the hive?]

[No wonder these wasps don't chase and sting people...]

[But, the royal jelly and the color of their bodies... never mind, it could just be a coincidence.]

Under their gaze, these hornets not only did not sting anyone, but also flew away in the direction they returned. Only the purple-gold hornet at the beginning was left behind, which flew leisurely into the hive and started to eat royal jelly.

Seeing this, He Xuebin couldn't help but glance at Fang Xiuzhu and the others beside him and asked, "Looking at this situation, is the danger over?"

"Should I?" Fang Xiuzhu had never seen such a situation before.

"Then...should we go over and take a look?" Ever since Xu Qi saw the honeycomb in the hornet's nest just now, he has been eager to taste what the honey inside tastes like.

At this moment, the crisis was resolved, and Xu Qi's heart, which had always been eager for good ingredients, began to itch again.

"Wait, let me send someone over to take a look first." Director Liu quickly stopped Xu Qi who was about to go over, and then asked the staff to put on hats, goggles, gloves, and scarves that they had found from somewhere, to cover all the exposed parts of their bodies before letting him go over to the hive to take a look.

When Director Liu saw that the other hornets in the hive were still asleep and only the single purple-gold hornet was feasting on the royal jelly, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked everyone to return to the camp.

Of course, Director Liu did not relax his vigilance at this time. He took out a drone and asked someone to operate it to patrol around the camp. As long as he saw more than ten hornets appear, he would immediately notify them.

The staff took over the operating screen and began to operate the drone to patrol the camp.

Driven by curiosity, the others gathered in front of the hornet's nest again and looked at the queen bee in the hive.

When Xu Qi saw the purple-gold queen bee sitting in the hive and eating sweetly, he couldn't help but stretch out his finger and quickly dipped it on the royal jelly.

The queen bee looked at the person who was stealing royal jelly in front of it, and couldn't help moving its tail. It had the urge to sting the person, but before it could do anything, it smelled a pleasant fragrance.

Upon smelling this, the queen bee instantly flew out of the hive.

When Xu Qi saw the queen bee flying up, he was so scared that he quickly retracted his finger. However, the queen bee didn't even look at him, but flew directly over his head and flew towards where Song Tiantian was.

It turned out that after Song Tiantian saw the hornet's nest surrounded by people watching, she went to collect the pills that had been boiled in the medicine pot and were not so hot.

As soon as the medicine pot was opened, a fresh medicinal fragrance wafted out of the medicine pot.

As soon as the queen bee smelled the fragrance, it immediately flew towards her.

After seeing the purple-gold hornet fly away, Xu Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he put the royal jelly on his finger into Chao's mouth.

After taking a bite, Xu Qi's eyes suddenly lit up. The delicate and smooth taste, the sweetness without being greasy, and the aroma of Ganoderma lucidum...

He Xuebin looked at Xu Qi who hadn't responded for a long time and couldn't help but ask him, "Old Xu, how does it taste?"

"This is royal jelly brewed with purple Ganoderma lucidum. It must taste great, right?" Zhang Bosong looked at Xu Qi with anticipation.

Xu Qi didn't say anything, but turned around and went to the tent where the pots and pans were placed, took out a spoon, and scooped a spoonful of royal jelly.

Who could not understand this lightning-fast movement?

"Ahhhh, Director Xu, you are so cunning!"

"Director Xu, please be merciful and leave some for us!"

[It’s delicious, right? It must be delicious! ]

[How could Director Xu be so willing to resort to trickery to eat royal jelly? How delicious must it be!]

[I just looked up the health benefits of royal jelly. Thinking about the fact that this is royal jelly made from Ganoderma lucidum, tears suddenly streamed down my face.]

Just now I thought royal jelly was the saliva of worker bees, but now imagine, I can't even afford honey, so why should I despise royal jelly? How can I despise this good thing?

While everyone was scrambling for a spoonful of royal jelly in front of the hornet's nest, the queen bee was holding onto a dizzying pill that was almost as big as her body.

Song Tiantian looked at it and said, "Why are you holding on to my pills?"

The queen bee held the dizzying pill with great effort, flapped its wings and made a slight buzzing sound. Then Song Tiantian felt a subtle mental force touching her.

Song Tiantian could still feel the information being transmitted to her by this mental power.

Queen Bee: Buzz buzz buzz... Eat, eat delicious...

After Song Tiantian understood the message it sent, she couldn't help but look at it in surprise: "You don't want to take the dizziness pill, do you?"

The queen bee held the dizzying pill and shook it up and down with difficulty.

"You really want to eat it?" Song Tiantian threatened it, "If you eat this, you'll faint."

The Queen Bee was not afraid at all. After all, it was the Queen Bee that was still alive and well even after Song Tiantian had someone throw three dizzying pills at it!

Moreover, the queen bee can feel that its abilities are enhanced after eating the dizzying pill.

Look, the queen bee's mental power rubbed towards Song Tiantian again, and kept making sounds to Song Tiantian that she wanted to eat her.

Just when Song Tiantian was hesitating, the system suddenly said: You can give it to it.

Song Tiantian hurriedly asked the system: Xiaoqi, this is a pill, will it really be okay if it takes it?

After all, this hornet is the first little creature Song Tiantian knows that can transmit mental power. Song Tiantian doesn't want this cute little creature to get sick because of a pill.

It turned out that Song Tiantian subconsciously expressed what was in her mind.

After hearing Song Tiantian's thoughts, the system couldn't help but look at the queen bee who kept acting coquettishly in front of Song Tiantian: If you knew how ferocious it is, you would definitely not think it is cute.

Song Tiantian didn't believe it: How could it be so ferocious when it looks so beautiful?

The system is silent: Tiantian, now I know that you are a member of the appearance association.

Song Tiantian chuckled a few times feeling a little guilty...
