Chapter 925: The Beecatcher
Xiao Qing hovered outside the forbidden air, and Lu Kuan frowned slightly in thought.
There is a ban in the sky, and there is a fog below, although I don't know what it is, but what appears around a legendary mage's mage tower will not be so simple.
"Did your teacher tell you what defenses are in the vicinity?"
Lu Kuan said to Wei: "Since the Church of Light can find your home, it shouldn't be difficult to find here, but looking at the current situation, the other party shouldn't have succeeded yet." ”
Will looked at the churning blue mist below, shook his head, and said, "The teacher didn't say it, but ...... According to what I know about his old man, since he didn't mention the safety issue here, the teacher must have been prepared. ”
Lu Kuan habitually touched his chin, thought about it, and said to Meng Ge: "Let's go, let's go back." ”
"Go back?" Will looked confused.
"Go to the place where there was a lot of spring water just now,"
Lu Kuan followed closely and said: "The bee pickers there should be very familiar with this place, this blue fog target is so big, it is impossible that no one has come, let's go find out the news." ”
Mungo and Will understood, and the little halfling immediately gave Xiaoqing an order, and the snake lizard's body tilted slightly, whistling away in the direction where they had just come.
……
At the same moment, next to the river.
People walked briskly in the woods in groups of three or five, everyone raised their heads, as if they were looking for something, and occasionally found them, and immediately excitedly called friends, holding sacks, bamboo poles and other tools, with a cautious face.
Since the disappearance of the forbidden circle around the Mage Tower, the NPCs of Hathunter Town have finally been able to set foot on this water-rich map and mine the most important resource on the map, the hive of the Black-Ringed Poisonous Bee.
The NPCs discovered the strangeness of the hive much earlier than the players, after all, the players had not yet entered the game when the Mage Tower was breached and Will was captured.
But right now, this kind of work of collecting beehives and bees is basically covered by players, because the danger factor of this work is not low, and it is just a matter of losing some experience if the player is hung by poisonous bees, and if the NPC is hanged, can he still bring a senior priest with him to be responsible for resurrection?
As a result, most of the people present here are players, and they are professional bee pickers who make a living from their work.
"Brother, we've been looking for a day, and the honeycomb around here has already been lighted up, right?" A female warrior monk player with a young face, carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, has no shortage of complaints in her tone.
A tall young human male assassin next to him, who was looking carefully in the dry bushes with his head tilted, laughed when he heard the little sister's words, lowered his head, and rubbed his sore neck and shoulders by the way.
"In winter, the black-ringed honeycomb doesn't go out in the nest, it's the golden season for bee picking, of course it's hard to find,"
The young assassin player wiped his little sister's nose and said with a smile: "But I've already calculated, the refresh time of the hive is only these two days, be patient." ”
"Okay~"
The young female warrior monk looked up at the sky, with a look of lovelessness: "But I don't think there is a chance, brother, didn't you see it just now, there are at least two more guilds in Hat Hunting Town, they must be coming for the hive, and then those bastards should clear the field again." ”
"People aren't necessarily here to find the hive, maybe they're exploring there." The male assassin pointed to the east, in the direction of the blue mist.
The female warrior monk disagreed, although the monsters in that place were not of high level, they were all elite monsters, and Braquesos was only a few small guilds, so how could he dare to fight there.
If it weren't for the monster inside being really powerful, this is also remote, and it has long been taken down by the big guilds in other places, and the female warrior monk once went to explore it with her brother before, and almost bypassed the boss and rushed in, but in the end it fell short, and she caught up with the first-level experience.
It's strange that those rice buckets can get in.
Seeing Xiaomei's expression, the assassin player shook his head and smiled.
Even if this is the truth, you have to look for it carefully, otherwise you will come in vain, and now the market price of the hive is rising, even if you only get a small one, it is enough for the brother and sister to spend a month of supplies in the game.
There are many springs in the vicinity, and there are countless places suitable for the nest of the black-ringed poisonous bee, but these little things like to build the hive at the top of the big tree, and the higher the nest position, the higher the status of the bee colony.
Naturally, the higher the combat effectiveness of this swarm.
This creates a problem: even in the depths of winter, it is extremely difficult to see the beehives directly from the trees when you stand on the ground.
The siblings searched the woods quickly and soon found a new spring, and the Assassin looked up to see something black directly above his head.
Is it a hive? Or something else?
But since he saw it, he didn't let it go, and the young man immediately greeted the little sister at this moment: "I'll go up and take a look, you can give me a look down there." ”
"Brother, it's too late,"
The female warrior monk looked back at her brother and stretched out her hand to the other side of the river, and the assassin player turned his head to see that a large group of players appeared on the other side of the river at some point, driving the players down the tree, shouting and shouting very arrogantly.
"The people of the Pansi Cave." The Assassin player's face sank slightly.
Braquethos has several guilds with relatively strong strength, and Pansi Cave is one of them, don't look at them with such a reputation, in fact, the guild members are all rough old men.
But the place where Pansi Cave was cleared has always been in the west, why did you come so far today?
"No matter, go up and have a look! Little sister, you are with me! ”
The assassin player immediately said: "If there is a hive, let's take it and go back to the city directly, don't enter the battle state!" ”
"Good!"
The female warrior monk was also decisive, and directly jumped up to the shortest branch, and then climbed up quickly with her brother.
The river here is not wide, and the action of the opposite side can be seen here, and the movements of the brother and sister can be seen clearly on the other side, and immediately someone shouted and rushed over, and at the same time there was a sparse sound of arrows breaking through the air.
The opposite side obviously guessed that the brother and sister had discovered something, so they decisively started to attack, trying to drag the two of them down.
The brother and sister are not in vain, looking at the action of climbing the tree, they know that they are veterans in this area, and they have reached the top of the canopy in just a few seconds.
A large hive with a diameter of more than half a meter appeared in front of the two of them, a circular hive suspended from one of the tallest branches, and the wooden pole connecting the hive to the branches was about the thickness of an arm, holding the hive firmly in place.
"Wow......"
The female warrior monk saw a beehive of this size for the first time, and subconsciously exclaimed.
Her brother was more calm, his movements were steady and fast, he came to the hive, took out a gray cloth bag from his backpack for the first time, and whispered while holding up the opening: "Don't be stunned, come and cut down the hive!" ”
The warrior monk reacted immediately, quickly crawled to the side of the hive, pulled out a thick-backed machete with a length of a foot from her backpack, and slashed at the connection above the hive.
