A Beekeeper in a Magical World Chapter 10: First exploration
Lellard flowers are commonly found in moist soil near lakes, so his plan was to find lakes in the forest.
The equipment he bought included a compass, but it was not very useful in this world.
The specific manifestation is that after walking for a while, the pointer suddenly changes in one direction, as if it is affected by some mysterious force.
Hua Mi's sense of direction is pretty good, but in a complex ecological environment like the forest, no one dares to say that they will never get lost.
So he walked very slowly, trying to remember the features along the road, and used a dagger to carve a mark on the tree every distance he walked, so that he would not go astray when he returned.
The trees here are more than twice as thick as those on Earth, but Huami has become commonplace these days, so I don't think it's anything strange.
The forest is rich in species. On the way forward, he saw some strange creatures from time to time.
Four-legged rats, two-legged birds, and fleshy purple bugs...
These are obviously low-level creatures that do not have the intelligence to communicate. Most of them are not aggressive. They deliberately avoid him, or hide in the dark and observe secretly.
Hua Mi also tried not to provoke them, letting the bees surround her for protection.
He has only one goal in his mind, and that is Yui Hana.
As a beekeeper, Hua Mi is only familiar with bees, but knows very little about other creatures. Even in the forests of the earth, there are probably many magical creatures that he does not know, so there is no other world adventure so far. real feeling.
"This is normal. I am not the protagonist of a novel and have good luck. How can I encounter adventures every time I explore? It is pure nonsense to go out to pick up treasures and so on. It is even more nonsense to encounter monsters after taking a few steps. , plainness is the main tone of reality... Hey, what is that? ”
As Hua Mi walked, she looked up and saw a small backpack hanging from a tree in front of her.
At first he thought it was hanging on a branch, but the backpack suddenly started to sway.
Looking carefully, there is a green-haired "monkey" squatting on the branch, holding the backpack in his hand.
"It was probably stolen."
The monkey also spotted Hua Mi and threw a fist-sized nut over.
With a wingspan of nearly two meters, his throwing speed is astonishing.
Fortunately, Hua Mi reacted quickly and dodged sideways.
Otherwise, if you were hit on the head, you would have suffered a severe concussion without dying on the spot.
Seeing that his attack failed, the green-haired "monkey" screamed in anger, jumped down from a branch more than ten meters high, got down on all fours, bared its fangs towards Hua Mi, and prepared to pounce.
The alarm bells blared in Hua Mi's mind. Without any time to think, he immediately controlled the forest speed bees, swarmed over and rushed towards its face.
The main reason is that it is covered with green hair, and the bee stings may not be able to penetrate, so it only attacks the face that is not covered by hair.
This was the first time for the green-haired monkey to see this battle. He put away his fangs and subconsciously shrank back, but soon returned to his ferocious nature. He picked up the backpack in his hand and swung at the swarm of bees.
The bee swarm was divided into two, and with its speed advantage, it perfectly avoided the attack at the expense of only a few bees.
It then divided into two branches, launched a pincer-shaped attack, and attacked its face.
The speed was so fast that the monkey had no time to react.
"Ouch!!!"
It made the same howling sound as Teacher Tom, and slapped its face with two big hands, trying to drive away the little bugs in front of it.
However, the bee swarm divides and rejoins, can advance, attack, retreat or defend. It has no strength but cannot display it. It is like a punch on cotton. It has no way to deal with this kind of group offensive and can only be stung.
A few seconds later, the green-haired monkey scurried away holding its head.
Hua Mi let the swarm pursue it until it was driven out of sight.
"Only a dozen bees were lost. This battle loss is acceptable."
He didn't even plan to take action himself just now, and he didn't even lift the compound bow in his hand.
Because the archer never draws the bow easily, and drawing the bow will result in blood!
That monkey can run fast.
Hua Mi asked the bee swarm to reorganize their formation, and as the winner, he went to pick up the trophy - the shoulder bag dropped by the monkey.
Looking at the fabric, it looks new. It must have been snatched recently. The owner is probably still in the forest.
However, Hua Mi had no intention of returning the property to its original owner. Regardless of whether he could find it in this huge dark forest, even if he knew where the owner was, he had no intention of sending it away.
The main reason is that he doesn't have the time to spare. If there is anything good in it, he will just ignore it. This is the simplest and crudest way to deal with it.
The ability to pick up gold is only limited to the earth. Now in another world, the standards of conduct must be flexible.
Hua Mi opened her backpack and rummaged around.
There isn't much in it.
First, he pulled out two small bottles, containing blue and red liquid respectively. There were labels on the bottles, with their respective uses written in printed fonts.
"Primary recovery potion... slowly restores a certain amount of vitality and mana. Isn't this just for adding blood and magic."
Hua Mi uncorked one of the bottles, brought it to his nose and smelled it. A strong smell of Chinese herbal medicine hit Tianling Gai, almost intoxicating him.
"Ahem, anyone who can drink this stuff is a worthy warrior..."
But when it comes to an emergency, you don’t care whether it tastes good or not. After all, it’s for life-saving purposes, so it’s reasonable to think the taste is almost the same.
Hua Mi immediately put the stopper back and put the two bottles of medicine into his backpack.
Continue turning.
"Oh, gold coins?"
Hua Mi dug out a small cloth bag containing five glittering coins.
Four of them are of the same style, with a tree printed on one side and a pattern of crossed swords on the other. The texture is soft when you bite it, and it is 80% gold.
There is another one that is relatively larger, with only one side printed with a pattern that looks like a dragon's head. The texture is so hard that it almost broke his teeth when looking for it.
"This is definitely not gold."
Counterfeit money?
But facing the sun, you can see that its surface is very shiny, and there is a faint mysterious purple aura in the golden light. It always feels more precious than the four real gold coins.
Put it away first anyway.
Hua Mi also transferred the small purse into his backpack.
Then I dug out some scattered foods, such as biscuits and candies, which were just ordinary foods with no special effects. Most of them are sweets, perhaps to replenish energy as quickly as possible during the adventure.
Finally, a booklet.
"Black Forest Adventure Guide, Second Edition, by Coquettish Baron..."
Hey guys, there is also a special adventure booklet.
It seems that this place is quite famous.
Opening the first page, there is a special note from the author. Although it is printed, the handwriting appears to be handwritten.
"The first rule for survival in the Black Forest - be careful of the green-haired ape! These annoying guys will steal your luggage when you are not paying attention or even **** it in front of you!"
The green-haired ape... must be the guy just now.
This is really a bit of black humor. It seems that the owner did not take the reminder in the adventure guide to heart.
Hua Mi turned to the first page of the text.
First of all, an opening statement: Although the Black Witch's Forest is only a two-star adventure place, there are some things you must know. If you underestimate it, the forest will punish you...
"This will help me explore the forest."
But now is not the time to read. I will read it slowly when I go back.
Hua Mi stuffed the booklet into her backpack and moved on.
But before going very far, another unexpected problem came to light.
