The Ancient Realm Goddess
Toxic Bees
Approaching the predetermined day, the academy's students began to arrive at Ding city. Some of them had arrived the day before, but there were also new ones until when it was nearing the deadline. They have their own way of thinking. Qing Yue'er's group arrived at night on the second day. They stayed at the inn to wait for the other students who had not arrived.
When the third day arrived, finally all the disciples had reached the city. Some people have a tired face due to travel that may be draining energy. That was why Qing Yue'er had gotten to the day before, because she wanted to rest her body first. Unlike stubborn people who would rather be late than arrive early.
"Everything, at this spirit beast hunting event you are allowed to conquer any animal you want. Yes, as long as you can do it. If you can't then don't force it, the teachers and the academy won't take responsibility for anything that might happen" said one teacher who now stands in front of the students.
"Baihu Forest had a lot of unspoiled territory, so no one knew whether it was dangerous or not. But you better take care of each other" he continued. After that he finished his speech and ordered the disciples to get ready.
Qing Yue'er did not bring much even she could leave whenever she wanted. Han Qiong had already parted ways with his group, so now they had to be independent by taking care of each other.
After the sun rose finally they all started moving away from Ding town towards Baihu forest. It was not that far away considering that the city of Ding was the closest city of the forest. They only took a while before finally the green forest shrouded in cloud fog was already plastered before the eyes.
From a distance one could already hear some of the sounds of the animals that were mutually unpretentious. It is certain that there must be various kinds of animals that cannot be known.
All the disciples went straight into the forest when it was told by the teacher. After that they began to split each into a large forest that was ready to be used as a hunting field. The hunt for spirit beasts was always held in a different place every year. This was to minimize the exhaustion of spirit beasts in the forests.
Qing Yue'er and the others chose to descend to the ground. They entered a forest that was still so lush. The trees there are big and tall. The branches overlap each other forming a canopy that causes sunlight can not enter perfectly. It made the air there feel so humid.
The sounds of animals are mutually exclusive. They were sure that there were many wild beasts as well as spirit beasts living above the tree canopy. Qing Yue'er continued to go inside. He wanted to find something else.
"Weenngg ...."
A bee passed by to disturb Jing Ling. It circled in front of his face for a while until Jing Ling was irritated. Finally he moved his hand to kill the bee. However, just now that one died suddenly came another bee.
"It seems like you are so happy to disturb others," Jing Ling said grumblingly. He moved his hand and the bee died instantly.
After that, no other bees came. They are still moving forward. It turned out that after more going inside, the other bees came again to disturb Jing Ling. "Am I so sweet that they like me?"
Jing Ling was about to eliminate the bee before Qing Yue'er suddenly raised her voice. "It doesn't seem like an ordinary bee. You should pay attention to something."
"What to watch?" Jing Ling muttered. He took the bee with a hand that was layered in spiritual qi. Of course he couldn't let the bee sting him. "Ah, there's something else. This bee has three pairs of wings, isn't this different?"
"It's a spirit beast, do you want it?" qing Yue'er asked.
Jing Ling thought for a moment. Suddenly a sting of pain came in his palm. He immediately grimaced and let the bee go. "What's? He can break down my spiritual qi?"
Jing Ling used her spiritual qi to remove the poison. But it turns out that it doesn't produce anything. Everyone started to panic.
"Is this deadly?" ask Ming Yuxia.
Luo Qingqi recalled something. It seems like he's heard of something. Spirit beasts always had different hidden weapons. Just like the bees. If it was an ordinary bee then its poison would not be able to kill a human. However, if it could cause one's life to be in danger, then it was a bee that belonged to the ranks of spirit beasts.
He had heard of bees that had dangerous toxins. The poison cannot be left alone. Even ordinary spiritual qi would not be able to be used to remove the poison. If humans forced it then it would only make the poison further rise into the veins.
"Don't force it, there must be another way" Luo Qingqi said.
"Hows it? It may not be allowed too long." Ming Yuxia looked at Jing Ling's hand with concern. He didn't know there was such a thing here.
Qing Yue'er did not know how to solve it. He was thinking of figuring out how to remove the poison. "You stay here, don't wander. I'm gonna find those beehives." He didn't know if his idea would work, but he should at least give it a try. Maybe in their hive there's something that can be used to deal with bee venom.
"Be careful, do I need to come?" asked Luo Qingqi.
"no need. It doesn't seem to be far from here." Qing Yue'er rejected it. Jing Ling and Ming Yuxia did not have high strength. There was no way he would let the two of them in there without a stronger person to guard them. Not to mention that right now Jing Ling was injured. He just anticipates something bad happening.
Finally Luo Qingqi let Qing Yue'er go. He did not understand but now he realized, it seemed like if something were to happen, they became dependent on Qing Yue'er. Whether this was a good or bad thing, but the girl was indeed reliable.
Qing Yue'er looked for traces of the bee that had just broken free after stinging Jing Ling. Usually the bees will die a few minutes later after leaving the sting and the bag in the skin of the victim. Maybe now the bee still has a little life time left.
He circulated his spirit power for a moment before finally discovering more of it. He immediately approached the bee and followed where it had gone. A little while later he found that the bee was moving towards a large rock on a cliff. The stone had a gap wide enough that it allowed the bee to enter.
Qing Yur'er wanted to curse. Even if her body was slender, she would not be able to get in there. Now what to do?
"Spread the stone slit, you will find something extraordinary inside," Mo Jingtian suddenly said.
"really?" Qing Yue'er's eyes twinkled. What Mo Jingtian said was definitely not a lie. That meant he had to widen the gap of the stone. Finally he gathered the spiritual qi in his hand, then he forcefully swung it into the rock crevice. Little by little the gap was eroded and the space became wider.
Qing Yue'er smiled with satisfaction. When the gap was enough for his body, he stopped his movements. He could smell the sweet smell of honey, it seemed like the beehive was indeed inside. He immediately lifted his leg and moved inside. He was curious about something extraordinary that Mo Jingtian meant. Maybe that would be an advantage for him.
