Chapter 45: Catching Stinging Bees
Hearing the shouts, the students were instantly terrified and ran away in panic. The crowd was filled with screams and shouts, and the whole scene fell into extreme chaos.
But in this chaos, Su Nian suddenly had an idea, and she shouted loudly: "Let's not run away! We can capture these stinging bees, and their venom may be able to be made into precious medicine!"
When Zhao Yan heard Su Nian's words, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he said in surprise: "Are you crazy? This is too dangerous! Stinging bees are not easy to deal with. If we are not careful, we will all die!"
However, Su Nian's determined eyes looked straight at everyone, as if there was an invisible force that made everyone's originally panicked hearts begin to hesitate. Ye Yao clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and said, "Just do it, anyway, you may not be able to escape! Instead of running away like this, why not give it a try!"
As a result, everyone gradually stopped their panic and began to quickly formulate a capture plan. Some students carefully took out a huge net from the space. The net line flashed with a special light, and it was obvious that it had been specially strengthened. Some students quickly took out a special anesthetic spray gun, the gun body was inlaid with energy gems, ready to spray powerful anesthetics at any time; and some students took out a sturdy protective shield from their backpacks. The shield was engraved with complex runes and emitted weak energy fluctuations.
Su Nian, Zhao Yan, and Ye Yao immediately began to search for the various materials they had collected. Su Nian took out a few black rhizome plants with a pungent smell from the space and said, "This is what I found by the mountain stream before. Its smell should have a certain interference effect on the stinging bees." Zhao Yan then took out some transparent crystals and said anxiously, "This is the energy crystal found in the cave. Maybe it can enhance the effect of the potion we made." Ye Yao was not idle either. She took out a bag of colorful powder and said with a heavy breath, "This is the pollen collected from that strange flower bush. Maybe it can come in handy."
They put the materials together and began to work nervously. Su Nian skillfully crushed the black rhizome plant and squeezed out the dark green juice, while Zhao Yan crushed the transparent crystals into powder and sprinkled it evenly into the juice. Ye Yao stirred and slowly poured the bag of pollen into it. The foreheads of the three were covered with beads of sweat, but they did not dare to stop their hands. After many attempts and adjustments, they finally succeeded in producing a powerful insecticide specifically for stinging bees.
At the same time, in order to notify the students nearby to join the capture operation, Ye Yao took out a small loudspeaker from the space. She took a deep breath and shouted into the loudspeaker: "Students, don't run! We have a way to deal with the stinging bees. If we work together, we can harvest precious venom!" The voice echoed in the mountains and forests. The students who heard the shouting stopped and hesitated to move closer to them. Su Nian stood on a high place and explained the capture plan and division of labor in detail to the students who gathered one after another.
Hundreds of students gathered on the hilltop at this time. Under Su Nian's command, they quickly divided into several groups. One group of students bravely rushed to the front with anesthetic spray guns, spraying the swooping stinger bees. The smoke instantly spread out, forming a hazy area; another group of students waved nets to try to trap the stinger bees stunned by the smoke; and some students were responsible for using protective shields to block the stinger bees that escaped the net to protect everyone's safety.
For a moment, the scene was chaotic and intense. The shouts of the students and the buzzing of the stinging bees intertwined. The stinging bees were dazed by the smoke and anesthetic, and the students' attacks gradually took effect.
One after another, the stinging bees were anesthetized or captured and fell to the ground. After the battle, everyone excitedly picked up the bodies of the stinging bees on the ground. Each one was as big as a fist, and everyone took out all the tools such as sacks, backpacks, and even clothes made into improvised packages. After a while, the collected stinging bees were dragged to a place and gathered together. It turned out that it had piled up into a small mountain, with at least thousands of them!
Everyone was so happy to see the abundant harvest that they couldn't stop smiling. After an equal distribution, everyone carried a small sack of stinging bees and prepared to return with satisfaction.
"I've gained a lot this time!" Zhao Yan said with a smile.
Su Nian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, but it was too thrilling. Fortunately, everyone was united!"
Afterwards, everyone started their journey home with a lot of harvest.
Just as everyone was preparing to return home in high spirits, suddenly, a painful groan was heard from the crowd, and the sound seemed to come from the depths of the soul. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhang Kuang's face was as pale as paper, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He was holding his right arm tightly, and there was a horrifying red and swollen sting mark on his arm. The surrounding skin quickly turned a strange purple color, which looked shocking.
"Oh no, Zhang Kuang was stung by a poisonous bee!" someone screamed in horror.
The classmates immediately surrounded him like a tide. Su Nian looked nervous. He rushed to Zhang Kuang in two steps and carefully checked his wound. His brows were tightly knitted into the shape of a "川" character. "We must send him back for treatment immediately, otherwise the venom will spread and it will be dangerous."
Zhang Kuang gritted his teeth, trying to pretend that he didn't care, and said weakly: "I... I'm fine, don't worry about me, you guys go first." But his trembling voice and increasingly pale face betrayed his pain.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ye Yao stamped her feet anxiously, her eyes full of anxiety.
Just now in the fierce battle with the stinging bee, the two brothers relied on their strong physique and were used to solving problems with their fists. When a stinging bee flew towards Zhang Kuang, he didn't think twice and punched it directly. Who would have thought that the stinging bee was extremely flexible and easily avoided his fist, but stung his arm fiercely.
At this moment, one can clearly see that the stinger of the poisonous bee has penetrated deeply into Zhang Kuang's flesh. The surrounding skin is swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye, and black blood is constantly oozing out of the wound, as if it had been cursed by the devil.
At this moment, Zhang Meng was extremely anxious. He rushed forward and held Zhang Kuang's hand tightly, his voice trembling: "Brother, you must hold on!"
Several classmates quickly brought out a small flying vehicle and carefully helped Zhang Kuang onto it.
The aircraft started up and flew quickly towards the school with Zhang Kuang. Everyone looked at the aircraft flying away, silently praying that he would be safe.
"I hope he can get better soon." Zhao Yan looked at the sky worriedly, his hands clenched into fists unconsciously.
Su Nian took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said, "Don't worry too much, the school's treatment room will definitely be able to cure him. Let's go back quickly."
Everyone nodded, picked up the sacks again, and hurried back with heavy hearts.
