Chapter 60 Flower Sea (Catching Bugs) Holding Hands, Good Friends
After half an hour of groping and climbing, Bangbubel and Huaimi passed through the winding mountain paths and caves, and finally stepped into a valley so quiet that it seemed to have been forgotten by the whole world.
After pushing aside the weeds at the entrance of the cave, a dazzling sea of flowers suddenly appeared before our eyes.
This is undoubtedly a treasured land blessed by nature. It is hard to imagine that plants can grow so luxuriantly on the surface without the blessing of sunlight.
In this dangerous wasteland, such a vibrant scene is itself an extremely strange existence - however, the two tourists in front of them don't seem to care much.
At that moment, Huai Mi could only sense the furry moss covering the rocks at the edge of the cave. Touching them with her hands, she felt a damp, cool sensation. The air was filled with the delicate fragrance of flowers, lingering in her nostrils, a refreshing and delightful experience. Beneath the boundless night, drifting pollen danced in the gloom, shimmering with a psychedelic glow...
"I stumbled upon this place while, um... on a mission."
A familiar scent brushed past, instantly pulling Huai Mi back from his wandering thoughts. He looked up and saw Bombbell speaking as he skillfully opened his arms and ran towards the depths of the sea of flowers.
This was indeed the place where Bombbell accidentally strayed into when he first arrived in the wasteland. He had eliminated countless strange beasts here, and most of his mission experience points were obtained here.
Under the suppression of original strength, as time went by, this sea of flowers was gradually taken control by Bombbel, and it had become half of his territory, so he felt at ease to bring Huai Mi here.
In the darkness of the night, Bombubelle, half of his body submerged in the sea of flowers, stirred the surroundings with his hands in a slightly childish manner, and immediately a circle of visible ripples was caused.
The east wind blows thousands of flowers into bloom at night and blows down stars like rain.
In the light of the fireflies, Bombbell's honey-colored hair looked even more dazzling, swaying gently in the night like a flowing golden river.
Seeing this scene, Huai Mi subconsciously held his breath and couldn't help but take a step back. The scenery before him was rare in the wasteland, and the tiny dots of light almost burned his eyes, which were born in darkness.
At the same time, Bombbel seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned around with a smile as bright as the sun, picked up a piece of stardust and ran directly towards Huai Mi.
"How about it? Pretty, right?" Amidst the gentle breeze and the faint fragrance, he smiled and stretched out his right hand. "Do you like it—"
A breeze blew, and the bright light in the sky was like tiny stars, falling towards Bombbel, and finally all fell into those ice-blue eyes.
Looking at the enchanting beauty and the delicious prey before him, Huai Mi's heart was inexplicably moved. His abyssal black pupils now looked like scattered nebulae, a little blurry, making it difficult to discern the focus of his vision.
He whispered, "Well, beautiful—"
Also like...
Under the influence of a high appetite and other mixed emotions, Huai Mi slowly stretched out her hand and stepped into the sea of flowers with Bombbel.
[Ding—Admirer +1…]
In this warm and quiet moment, a strange drumbeat suddenly rang in Huai Mi's ears.
The voice seemed to come from a completely unfamiliar place, yet it was so clear and audible.
With every step he took towards Bombbell, the drum beats became faster and heavier, and each blow seemed to hit Huai Mi's chest hard.
This inexplicable strong impact made Huai Mi stop in his tracks. He suddenly realized that the sound was actually his own heartbeat!
But, how is that possible? I don't even have a human heart...
"What's wrong?" As if he had noticed the slightly abrupt pause behind him, Bombbel turned his head away in confusion, but Huai Mi did not answer.
Bombbell didn't really care. He just looked down at the vines under his feet, then acted as if he had suddenly realized something. "Oh—this road is indeed not easy to walk on. Let's go slowly, shall we? Remember to hold my hand."
After saying that, he affectionately pressed his fingers into Huai Mi's fingertips, pulled his hand and continued to move forward.
"Okay..." Huai Mi's obscure gaze slowly moved down along the defenseless back of Bombbel's neck. When his gaze fell on his own hands, he seemed to see something completely unfamiliar:
He found it absurd that his ice-cold hands were actually trembling slightly, as if they were burned by the other person's body temperature!
This feeling of losing control stirred up an uncontrollable irritability deep in his heart. Huai Mi took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down.
A flicker of determination flashed across his eyes, and he secretly made up his mind: He couldn't wait any longer, he had to act immediately. He would never again be swayed by this inexplicable strange emotion...
"Hey, I knew you would like it too."
On the other end, after hearing the system's notification tone, Bumblebell could barely contain his heartbeat. The furry tentacles on his head seemed to sense his master's emotional fluctuations and couldn't help but twist together excitedly.
If you don't, they'll start wagging happily like puppy tails in the next second.
The bumblebee species was completely unaware of the other party's complex inner psychological activities, and simply thought that they had made a confidant in this strange world who could truly understand them and communicate with them spiritually.
In the darkness of the night, Bombber couldn't control the upward curve of his mouth. He lowered his head and patted his warm cheeks hard, trying to calm his brain down from the over-excited state.
He then cleared his throat and continued, "Then let's split up, but try not to be too far apart..."
Although most of the dangers in the valley have been cleared by Bombbell, it is always better to be cautious.
After briefly explaining some precautions, Bombber carefully observed the surrounding environment for a while, and then carefully selected a suitable position for Huai Mi:
"You search for ore around here, and I'll go collect nectar a little further in. If there's any danger, we'll alert each other and split the spoils equally. Is that okay?"
Under the roots of the plants in this sea of flowers, there are countless bones of mutant creatures scattered in all directions, and the possibility of finding chalcedony here is quite high.
However, if you accidentally stray into it, the probability of getting lost is also very high.
In this situation, Bombber was very thoughtful. He asked Huai Mi to search at the edge of the flower sea, which was relatively safe, while he planned to transform into an insect and go deep into the flower sea to collect nectar.
This not only avoids exposing one's identity, but also helps the human pioneer gather the required energy as soon as possible, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"Okay..." Huai Mi agreed without hesitation. He naturally had no objection to this arrangement. In his mind, this was simply the perfect hunting ground.
At this moment, His roots were like a huge net, silently covering most of the land.
In this way, two "humans" with their own ulterior motives began their own actions.
…
[Host, do you trust him so much? ]
030's voice sounded faintly in Bombbel's mind, with a complex emotion that was difficult to conceal.
At this time, Bombbel was walking slowly towards the depths of the sea of flowers. With every inch he advanced, the lushness of the vegetation seemed to become more exaggerated.
Those overlapping flowers are like a group of half-hidden beautiful snakes, with their colorful mouths open, ready to devour the lost intruders bit by bit.
The branches and leaves around it are like countless pairs of entangled arms, intricately intertwined together, forming a dazzling maze.
Even if a strong adult male were to be here, he would be completely submerged in this swamp-like sea of flowers in just a moment and disappear without a trace.
Seeing Bombbel defenselessly turning his back to Huai Mi, 030 couldn't help but pop his head out, and the four big words "human hearts are treacherous" floated in his mind.
"Ah, 030, you're back!" Hearing the system's slightly worried words, Bombbel just smiled brightly, with pure light flashing in his bright eyes.
"Not really. To be precise, I think I'm more confident in myself..."
Before he finished speaking, Bombber quickly took off his uniform. Then, he stretched out his hands and swam into the sea of flowers as easily as a fish swimming in the sea.
The next second, a furry bumblebee emerged from the flying fluorescent light.
Its round body is like a sweet and tempting amber candy ball, and its long, velvety hair is covered with specks of pollen, just like the icing carefully sprinkled by a pastry chef.
The pair of small wings vibrated rapidly, making a slight buzzing sound like a high-speed rotating propeller, carrying the bumblebee's "huge" body to move quickly, and shuttled nimbly among the flowers.
What Bombbel didn't notice was that when he was sneaking in the sea of flowers, countless thin and slender tentacles were slowly emerging from the ground along his movement trajectory, the number of which was so large that it made his scalp tingle.
They twisted and swayed, constantly occupying the living space of other plants around them. The brightly colored flowers growing along the way were like the eyeballs of tentacles, closely watching Bombubell's every move.
The underground roots had woven a complex and dense web, and colorless, transparent mucus was moving along the veins of its tentacles at a speed visible to the naked eye, attacking Bombbell.
But the next second, the prey that was surrounded by heavy insects suddenly disappeared, as if it was swallowed by the sea of flowers, and was replaced by a bumblebee with bright fur!
Looking at the scene of "the bee transforming into something alive" in front of me, blood almost seeped out of the delicate stamens.
At the same time, Huai Mi's eyes suddenly showed many complex emotions: confusion, surprise, and even a hint of barely perceptible joy.
"So you are also a different species..."
As he spoke, the slime and tentacles that were originally ready to attack and full of aggression seemed to have self-awareness, and they squirmed again and gathered into a human shape.
Huai Mi, covered in human skin, slowly crawled forward. He reached out and picked up the uniform that Bombbel had taken off, then buried his face deeply in the warm cloth, greedily sniffing the pleasant scent.
Not knowing what he was thinking about, the corners of Huai Mi's mouth gradually curved into a strange arc. He quietly crawled in the sea of flowers, almost blending into the surrounding flowers and branches.
After an unknown amount of time, a vague and eerie whisper came from the flower-smudged ground: "Then I'll have to change my attack method..."
