Chapter 12 Spirit Pet, Golden Spirit Honey
Chapter 12 Spirit Pet, Golden Spirit Honey
"The Queen Bee?"
Sun Ran looked at the swarm of bees flying towards him in mid-air with some surprise.
Why are even bees getting names now? It can't be that spiritual energy is about to revive, can it?
hum~
With a flapping sound, the swarm of bees quickly flew to him.
A swarm of bees buzzed around me, and every now and then a few would land and crawl on my body...
To be honest, anyone who encountered this situation without wearing protective clothing would definitely be terrified.
Sun Ran was no exception; he stood there motionless, not daring to even breathe.
Even though the bees were making me incredibly itchy, I didn't dare to scratch them.
They were afraid that if they disturbed the bee colony, they would get stung a few times, which would be a huge loss.
The swarm of bees was right in front of him, and he quickly found the Golden Spirit Bee Queen with the green name on her head.
A bee, about the size of his little finger and shimmering with gold all over, was hovering in front of him, flapping its wings.
A buzzing sound rang out again.
The queen bee flapped her wings and flew past Sun Ran's ear, heading behind him.
Driven by it, the swarm of bees split in two and circled around him, just like water flowing around a reef.
Once the swarm of bees disappeared, Sun Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was in her throat again soon afterward.
A constant buzzing sound rang in his ears; it hadn't flown far at all.
This left Sun Ran somewhat at a loss.
This swarm of bees is neither fighting nor retreating; what are they trying to do?
After thinking it over, he gritted his teeth and took a step forward.
Then I heard a loud buzzing sound behind me, followed by a loud flapping of wings.
The sound immediately diminished as soon as the footsteps stopped.
I tried turning around again.
The result was the same; the swarm of bees circled around him and landed behind him again.
"Behind me...behind me...that's right, could it be the water bottle from the basket?"
Realizing that something must have attracted the bees, Sun Ran kept racking his brains.
He quickly had a flash of inspiration and remembered the only special thing he had: the pot of cooled boiled water mixed with spiritual spring water!
Then I remembered the kettle I left outside last night.
Was the remaining water not spilled out, but instead carried back to the hive by the bees to feed the queen bee?
That's why it has a name on it?
But didn't the chickens at home drink it too?
Is it due to body size?
Although he was still completely confused, it didn't stop him from carefully tilting his shoulder and slowly placing the basket on the ground.
Then he straightened up, one step, two steps...
After walking a few meters, Sun Ran quickly turned his head and saw that the swarm of bees were still hovering motionless above the basket.
Seeing this, he became even more confident in his earlier guess.
He thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth, carefully walked over, reached into the basket, and pulled out Sun An'an's water bottle.
Then he reached out and twisted the bottle cap...
hum!
As he moved, a swarm of bees instantly landed.
Bees landed on the kettle and on my hands, layer upon layer.
Soon, the kettle, along with his entire arm, was transformed into a large, black and yellow sphere.
Sun Ran felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the bees crawling back and forth in his hand.
A wave of regret washed over me.
I couldn't resist!
I should have put the kettle on the ground before unscrewing the lid.
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
He had no other thoughts in his mind at the moment, he just hoped that the swarm of bees would drink up the remaining water in the cup and leave quickly.
I'll never bring that spiked water out of the house again, even if you beat me to death.
hum~
Whether the bees knew what he was thinking or not, they all flew up in no time.
With a flap of its wings in mid-air, it flew back the way it came.
Call ~
Seeing this, Sun Ran also breathed a sigh of relief.
Those old men are finally gone!
His legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.
This thing is terrifying.
Luckily, their target was the spiritual water, and they didn't bite me much, otherwise today would have been quite a day.
Just as he was sitting there still somewhat shaken, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound in his ears.
He was so frightened that his buttocks felt like they had springs inside them, and he sprang up with a whoosh.
Are you coming again?!
Sun Ran gritted his teeth in anger. "I couldn't beat a swarm of bees just now, but do you think I'm afraid of just one bee?"
He turned his head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
hum~
A large, golden bee landed in front of him.
Hey~
A soft sound reached my ears.
[Tamed Spirit Pet: Golden Spirit Bee Queen]
Looking at the newly appeared notification, and then at the large bee with a green name in front of me.
Sun Ran blinked.
Spirit pet?
Have you subdued them?
Isn't this a bit...too hasty?
The moment the thought popped into his head, he saw the queen bee in front of him suddenly flapping her wings and circling around him in all directions.
He vaguely sensed that some emotions were stirring within him...
Closeness, pleasure...
"Could it be this guy?"
Sun Ran blinked and gently raised her hand, holding up one finger.
Soon, the queen bee flew over, folded her wings, and landed on his finger.
"Haha, as expected of a spirit pet, it's actually quite obedient."
Watching the queen bee crawling docilely on his hand, Sun Ran couldn't help but chuckle: "You scared me half to death just now, don't you have to make it up to me?"
"How about I try some honey from your honeycomb?"
He was just making a joke, but no sooner had he finished speaking than the queen bee flapped her wings and flew forward.
It flew to a distance of about two meters and then stopped there without moving.
"Holy crap, are they really going to take me to a beehive to collect honey?"
Sun Ran was overjoyed to see this.
Is this pet really that intelligent? It can even know what I'm thinking.
He quickly slung his basket over his shoulder and followed after them.
As he approached, the bee began to flap its wings and fly forward again.
When he walks, the bees walk; when he stops, the bees stop.
With one leading the way and the other following behind, they soon emerged from the woods and arrived at the edge of a cliff.
The queen bee circled in the air a few times, then folded her wings and flew into a crevice in the rock wall that was about ten centimeters wide.
Soon, bees crawled out of the cracks.
Sun Ran curiously leaned closer, took out his phone, and shone it inside. It was narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, and the crevice was a fairly large cave.
The honeycomb-like structures hung neatly on the rock face, numbering eleven in total.
It's wider at the top and narrower at the bottom; the largest shelf on top looks like a small round table!
But despite its size, the most eye-catching part of the entire honeycomb is the smallest honeycomb at the very bottom.
Although it looked no bigger than the palm of my hand, its golden color emitted a dazzling array of colors when illuminated by a mobile phone flashlight.
It's immediately obvious that it's different from the honeycomb layers above.
【Golden Spirit Honey】
Brewed by golden bees, it contains spiritual energy, which can replenish qi and nourish the spirit internally, and strengthen bones and muscles externally.
……
Standing outside the crevice in the rock, inhaling the sweet aroma of honey, Sun Ran's eyes lit up.
This is such a small piece, and it's on the bottom layer. Could it be that this Golden Spirit Honey was brewed using yesterday's spiritual spring water?
If that's the case, wouldn't my spiritual spring water have another way to make money?
Moreover, it even comes with a description: nourishing qi and spirit, strengthening bones and promoting muscle regeneration...
Sun Ran looked at the description of the entry in front of him and grinned mischievously.
Hehe, isn't this a coincidence? It's good that my uncle is injured, just in time to use him for experiments!
He stared at the giant beehive and chuckled for a while before carefully reaching inside, grabbing the bottom piece, and gently breaking it off.
Snapped……
With a soft click, the beehive fell to the ground.
Sun Ran withdrew her hand, hurriedly rummaged through the basket and found An An's small water bottle. She then carefully placed the beehive, along with the honey inside, into the beehive.
He didn't bring any extra containers today; the big kettle had been sitting outside all night and was covered in dust, so it was unusable.
So he didn't plan to take any more regular honey; he could come back to harvest honey later when he was ready.
He's already decided that when he has some free time later, he'll go get a few beehives and see if he can move the swarm of bees out of the rock face.
Anyway, he's already subdued the queen bee, so it shouldn't be too difficult.
If he can control the bees so they don't harm people, then it will bring him many benefits, whether it's beekeeping and honey harvesting or pollinating crops at home.
After carefully tightening the lid, Sun Ran looked at the remaining honey still dripping from his fingers and couldn't resist licking it.
So sweet~
He let out a satisfied sigh.
As expected of a high-quality product from Golden Hands, it's incomparable to the honey I used to buy in supermarkets.
hum~
Then the queen bee flew out of the hive again, flapped her wings a few times, and landed on his hand.
"Thank you, little one."
Sun Ran now adores it; it's not only a spiritual pet with whom he shares a deep connection, but it might even help him make money in the future.
Where can you find such a wonderful pet?
He couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the queen bee twice: "I'm sorry, I took all of your newly made honey."
"I'll bring you more spiritual spring water tomorrow."
hum~
The queen bee perched on his finger and flapped her wings.
Feeling the surge of joy in his heart, Sun Ran couldn't help but laugh out loud.
With both a spirit pet and honey, you might even be able to complete the quest along the way.
Today was truly a fruitful day.
He gently raised his hand and waved, watching the queen bee flap her wings and fly into the air.
"Uncle, oh uncle, even God isn't on your side."
Sun Ran proudly shook the Peppa Pig water bottle in his hand.
Hehehe, I just wonder what kind of spell will be the reward.
And what kind of expression will my uncle have when I choose my own fishing rod later...?
