Chapter 395 (2/2)

Unlike other wild bees, the buzzing sound of leaf bees was very special, like the whooshing sound of arrows passing through. They were two to three times larger than ordinary bees, and they flew fast. Because there was a conical hard armor in front of their heads, they could easily pass through any defenses. Once stung by them, the consequences were much worse than the wooden thorns.

“There’s got to be a hive of leaf bees around here!!” The leader reminded them immediately.

Leaf bees generally did not attack. However, once provoked, they’d become aggressive. Additionally, the hive of the leaf bees was very large that almost every hive in the forest would occupy a whole tree. With that, the number of bees was naturally much more than usual. Except for the beasts with thick fur and often stole honey, all the beasts in the forest were cautious around the hive of the leaf bees.

These pursuers obviously hadn’t expected the Flaming Horn tribe to use bees like that. The crescent-like wooden pieces were actually to attack the bees!

The bees were furious.

It was evident from all the buzzing.

When they realised it was leaf bees, the rest of the team panicked and spread out to distract the bees. If the bees were going after the others, they would be able to escape the attack themselves.

However, even if they were out in the open again, there was always a leaf bee chasing them.

It’s that yellowish powder with a slightly sweet smell!!

When he thought of the cause, the leader was livid. If only a few of them were killed, it was nothing. It was just that these annoying tribesmen with these little tricks could actually kill a lot of them!

Those who managed to kill a few bees only angered them more. The forest around them buzzed constantly.

One person, because of trying to avoid a leaf bee, even touched another trap and he was now upside-down with his feet hanging up. Not waiting for him to cut the vine, he was caught on both sides with pointed stones like gaping jaws. He wasn’t even able to cry out.

Suddenly, the smell of blood spread.

A similar situation had occurred everywhere else, be it bundled up or falling into a pothole, then they were greeted by the real killing trap.

Besides the whooshing sound of a leaf bee like a dense storm, there was also the panic of the pursuers screaming echoing across the forest.

At the foot of the mountain, two teams were on their way. It was the people of the Flaming Horn and the Taihe tribe.

Both tribes could hear noises coming from the forest. From time to time, they took their eyes off the road to glance at Shao Xuan.

They didn’t know exactly what Shao Xuan did. After changing the course, Shao Xuan made them go to the original road, not paying attention to the footprints they left on the ground. After a break, Shao Xuan left with a few people after looking for some Taihe people to ask for some herbs.

Because it was for the safety of the two teams, the Taihe tribe did not hide anything. They gave him all the things Shao Xuan requested. The kind of powder that attracted the leaf-piercing bee was actually made by the Taihe tribe. They dared walk to the hive of leaf bees also because the Taihe had a way to avoid attracting the leaf bees.

The team waited at the foot of the mountain for a while until Shao Xuan and the rest came back. The expressions on those people’s faces were very strange. They were a little dazed but expectant.

Duo Kang was one of them. He thought that Shao Xuan brought them to block those who hunted them, but he did not expect that once they were on the hillside, Shao Xuan asked them to stop, then assigned them tasks. They were told to break wood thorns, cut wood, look for vines, while Shao Xuan carried his wooden box, with those things to continue to walk up the mountain and began to make preparations.

Shao Xuan said he could stop their pursuers. Duo Kang did not believe it, but now, he could hear sounds coming from the mountains. Shao Xuan might be right.

Flutter flutter---

A flock of birds in the sky flew over the woods.

“Those birds…” The people of Taihe tribe looked at the sky. Their eyes followed the birds, looking at the mountain behind them which was constantly rustling.

Those birds were scavengers. They could smell blood from afar, then follow the scent to scavenge for food.

When hunting in the mountains, these people also judge what was happening in a certain place based on the movement of the scavengers. Now, where the scavengers were flying towards were where the people of the Flaming Horn tribe laid their traps.

“Those people, are they all dead?” someone asked.

“It’s not that easy.” Shao Xuan replied, “However, there were still a few more traps in the back. There should not be much left of them.”

A few more…
