Chapter 239 (2/2)

It was then that Yuan Zhou understood why the boy called him uncle intentionally. In spite of that, he still agreed at last. After all, he was an aloof person who didn’t bear grudges.

As the proverb goes, he who receives a gift sells his liberty. The aged man informed Yuan Zhou in the early morning next day that he had found a guy who would bring him down the cliff.

“Young man, this is the selected person, Liuzi. He has the best skills in gathering honey. You’ll be safe with him. Pay him 500 RMB and he will guarantee your safety.” The price offered by the aged man was quite good.

It was riskier to take a totally inexperienced person to go down the cliff.

“Ok. Thank you so much.” Yuan Zhou nodded the head and thanked him.

“Let’s go. Follow me.” Liuzi was a man with short spiky hair and swarthy belly muscles. He was short and spoke little and seemed to be an honest man.

“Sorry to bother you. I need to go to the site with the coordinates of 96°28’ east longitude and 25°07’north latitude, specifically, a cliff.” Following Liuzi, Yuan Zhou told him earnestly.

“I know. The aged man has told me about that. It’s an abandoned cliff that hasn’t produce the honey for a long time.” Liuzi was surprised at first for one second and then calmed down and said peacefully.

“You know the path, right? Fantastic.” Yuan Zhou nodded the head. He was quite satisfied that the guide knew about the coordinates.

Nevertheless, the reserved guide Liuzi truly didn’t know what to answer this time. Apparently, this boss had thought that he was clear of the so-called coordinates. Being too lazy to explain to Yuan Zhou, Liuzi just led him to the abandoned cliff that he had mentioned.

The stones were basically lime white in Yanfeng Village. But here at the clifftop, the color was quite different. They were all yellow stones and thus the cliff was very easy to be found. It was the only place that had the largest contrast in color compared to its surroundings. Yuan Zhou stood at the clifftop and almost couldn’t open his eyes due to the strong wind.

“Daub this thing on your exposed skin in case the bees sting you.” Liuzi handed to Yuan Zhou a plastic bag which was filled with some black and yellow stuff and had a slight sour taste. Yuan Zhou couldn’t tell what it was in that short time.

“Alright.” Yuan Zhou was dressed simply with a gray long-sleeve shirt and canvas pants that was waterproof and smooth. That way, the bees were unable to get inside and sting him.

While Yuan Zhou was daubing the medicine, Liuzi was preparing the ropes at the side quietly. Occasionally, Yuan Zhou went up and helped him. Because of his flexible fingers, he didn’t give any trouble.

Liuzi was a little surprised with that. But since he had seen those professional travelers who also knew about the skills, he didn’t bother to ask Yuan Zhou. Of course, Yuan Zhou learned the skills by watching Liuzi do so.

“Luckily, I don’t have the acrophobia.” When they were about to go down the cliff, Yuan Zhou murmured and then followed Liuzi climbing down slowly.

At that time, the system suddenly turned up after keeping silent for a long time and showed him a map. With only a few lines, the map appeared to be very clear.

“System, you know I don’t have a good sense of directions. How can I understand what the map means?” At the moment that he was hanging with a rope by the cliff, Yuan Zhou still couldn’t help complaining about the map of the system.

Then immediately, the map turned into a 3D map. Only by then did Yuan Zhou become clear where the reward of the system lay.

“Liuzi, can we go toward the left?” Yuan Zhou took hold of the rope with one hand and pointed to the left with the other.

“Yes, sure.” Liuzi looked around and nodded the head.

Subsequently, he began to climb down toward the left direction with Yuan Zhou. The System, nevertheless, turned on the navigational system that showed only the arrow tip without making any sound in case Yuan Zhou complained again that he was unable to comprehend the map.

Compared with Qiandu’s map, however, this one was really much better. As long as he deviated from the right course, it reminded him at once. It was quite different from the Qiandu map which never reminded anyone even after going in a wrong direction for a long distance. Therefore, Yuan Zhou managed to find a honeycomb smoothly.

It was a medium-sized honeycomb in which the Yanfeng Bees were flying around.

On seeing the flying bees, Yuan Zhou felt rather terrible!
