C113 Last threat (1/2)
A swarm of black bees flew out from the Cloud Cedar Forest and headed towards Princess Changyue, who was standing in the middle of the clearing. The scene was quite spectacular, as if it was a tornado, and Princess Changyue had become the eye of the tornado.
Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, and the cotton dress that dragged the floor slightly swayed. At that moment, Princess Changyue was like the fragrant princess in ”Still Pearl Geiger”, beautiful beyond compare. Even nature was attracted by her beauty and fragrance, uncontrollably moving towards her, as if she wanted to gently embrace her.
Seeing the countless bees gathering, Princess Changyue also hurriedly took out a hat with black gauze from the basket behind Luo Luo to cover her face. At the same time, she even pulled up her sleeves to prevent the bees from sneaking into her clothes.
Seeing countless bees flying around Princess Changyue, the surrounding villagers were abnormally excited, while the female beastmen were so scared that they held their headscarves over their heads, not daring to move at all.
They each took out a bandaged bamboo hat from their baskets and put it on their heads, before putting on their gloves. Afterwards, the three of them, in groups of four, opened up a fine fishing net specially used to catch small fishes, and began to flick it up and down in the air, catching a large group of bees that were flying in the air like headless flies.
The villagers were quite familiar with their movements. They caught several nets of bees in a few traps, and those bees were squeezed into the nets. The nets were so large that the bees were not able to get out.
For almost fifteen minutes, members of the defense team caught hundreds of nets of bees, each with thousands of bees. In terms of numbers, we had achieved our goal.
This island in the center of the lake seems to be a natural gathering place for wild bee. Almost every two or three spruce there is a big beehive, and the number of wild bee probably reaches a few million. It's impossible to catch all of them. The Third Saintess had said that one only needed ten to twenty wild bee to get rid of the lice in one's body, so there was no need to catch too many.
So we stopped when we saw it, and when everyone's basket was basically filled with a large net of bees, we all ran along the road with our heads lowered, carrying the bees. Because there were so many bees, we were afraid that if we stayed too long, our clothes would be torn by the bees and we would be sad.
After capturing the bees, the hundreds of good people ran for a whole kilometer before the number of wild bee caught up to us. On the way, due to some small problems, there were still a few baskets full of bees that escaped, but even so, there are still hundreds of millions of wild bee left, which is enough to cure the villagers of the poison.
In reality, although the bees were not hibernating, but they had been hiding in their hives during the winter to make nectar, today they had all come out in full force. It was really hard to understand, even though Princess Changyue's fragrance was attracting bees and butterflies, but to a certain extent, this was against the laws of nature.
However, when I heard from the three Saintess that the lake was a 'Sacred Lake' where hot springs were mixed together, I got my answer.
The lake that we went to was the sacred lake that was passed down from the villagers of Sun and Moon Village. When there weren't any female Beastmen around, the holy lake had always been their holy land, so very few people went there. Afterwards, when the female Beastmen appeared near the Sun and Moon Village, there were even fewer villagers who dared to go near the holy lake.
”There is also a hot spring flowing from the bottom of the Sacred Lake, which makes the temperature in the center of the Sacred Lake a little higher than in the surrounding woodlands. So, the time for wild bee to recover has probably been brought forward. ” This was Princess Changyue's guess.
Hearing Princess Changyue's words, I remembered that on the island, although there was some snow on the spruce trees, there wasn't much under the trees. It must have been caused by the temperature of the hot spring underground.
In short, the process of capturing the wild bee was much more successful than what we had imagined.
After returning to the Sun and Moon Village, Princess Changyue had some strong and robust villagers pull stakes in the open area in front of the Sun Moon Hall, put wooden stakes in four corners, and then used five huge nets to connect each wooden stake, forming a temporary beehive. The Three Holy Maiden had the members of the defense team seal all the wild bee in the giant beehive, and the moment the nets were opened, the freed bees hummed and flew around wildly in the hive.
With the village making such a large movement to capture bees, it naturally attracted the attention of all the villagers who were unaware. A large number of villagers curiously walked out from their bamboo houses and gathered on the empty ground, curiously watching the members of the defensive team walk on the wild bee, not knowing what exactly we were going to do.
It was not until all the bees had been returned to the hive that Princess Changyue ordered someone to ring the bell and drum for the gathering of villagers on the stage outside the Sun Moon Hall. The beating of the drums spread throughout the entire Sun and Moon Village, and not long after, a large number of villagers gathered below the stage outside the Sun Moon Hall like tidewater.
”Clansmen, now I want to tell everyone a piece of good news, host wants to bless all his clansmen, he caught many wild bee s for his clansmen, and even personally cast a technique, so that as long as a clansman is stung by these wild bee s, they can live for long, be old, be safe and healthy.”
