Chapter 112 - Attracting the Bee

The Third Saintess' words suppressed the atmosphere in the room to the lowest point. After listening to them, I finally understood that although Old witch was already dead, the crisis of the Sun and Moon Village was still far from over.

"There's still more than a month before spring, I'm afraid there really isn't much time." I was a little stunned, but I quickly thought of another problem. "Eh, that's not right. Mother shouldn't want to harm her own people. She definitely has other methods to remove the Gu." Based on what the Three Holy Maiden said, the villagers of Sun and Moon Village were hopeless. After all, if they couldn't find the bees during the winter, it wouldn't help even if Old witch was alive. However, no matter how crazy the Old witch was, the final goal of her actions was still for the sake of her own clansmen.

The Old witch must have left some other way to detoxify the poison.

"That's true, but not in Mama's secretary." The Third Saintess was somewhat depressed as he spoke, his mood incomparably gloomy.

My mood was also extremely heavy. If that's really the case, then perhaps even the forty thousand Bai clansmen would be unable to escape death.

"It would be better to inform your clan leader tomorrow. This matter is very serious, and we have to get them prepared." You guys should also look for other ways to detoxify the poison. " In the end, I was helpless to do anything. Although I am the Lord host, but at a time like this, I can't even be of any use to him. Although I don't think Princess Changyue can solve any problems either.

That night, the Third Saintess and I were unable to find any other methods to detoxify the poison, and we didn't know what tricks the Old witch had left behind. We were all extremely busy, but to no avail.

The next morning, the Three Holy Maiden sneakily found Princess Changyue and invited her to the Sun Moon Hall in my name, telling Princess Changyue that the entire village had been infected with the Lice Gu.

The reason why he had secretly told Princess Changyue about this matter was to prevent the prestige of the Old witch from collapsing. It was because if the villagers knew that Old witch had poisoned them, even Old witch and her mother's image in the eyes of the villagers would collapse.

When Princess Changyue heard that the Old witch had infected all the livestock in the village, and that all the villagers had been infected with the parasite, her face turned deathly pale.

"Mama drugged everyone?"

Princess Changyue could not believe what she had just heard. But when she saw me nod at her gravely, her expression changed from its initial surprise to one of grave tension.

It was obvious that in her heart, the Old witch had always been a saint. When she found out that the Old witch actually did such a crazy thing as placing a parasite on everyone in the village, it was difficult for her to accept it. However, even if they did not accept it, they had to accept it, because things had gotten to this point, the lives of everyone in the village had already been hung on a rope by the Old witch, who knows when they might fall into the abyss.

"It's currently winter, and most of the wild bee are hidden deep in the forest, unwilling to come out to avoid the honey. However, things have already come to this point, so we can only send people to search the mountains to find wild bee that can cure the poison."

I told Princess Changyue about this matter. Although she's young, she knows the seriousness of this matter. She, who has shouldered the banner of her mother, also has the ability to control the overall situation.

"Okay, Master host, I will send someone to patrol the mountain. Go to the forest and find the nest of wild bee. " Although she still could not completely accept the Old witch's plan to infect the mountain, compared to her personal feelings, the lives of her entire clan was more important. Without delay, Princess Changyue gathered several hundred of the village members and began to patrol the mountain. Of course, Princess Changyue did not tell the people in the village about the Old witch's plan to infect the mountain. As for me, because I have to take care of the female beastmen, I naturally followed female Boss and dozens of female beastmen to search the mountain. When it came to searching for mountain, the female beasts were extremely experienced. They often hunted in the mountains, but they were extremely familiar with the mountain ranges in Shangri-La Grand Canyon, just like their own backyard.

In previous years, the female beasts had been hoarding food for a few months. In the winter, they would hide in the caves to avoid the cold, and occasionally they would go hunting to steal food, but now that they had enough food, they didn't have to worry about food anymore, they could do whatever they wanted to do.

Since I saw that the female Beastmen were bored, I gathered the female Beastmen to go up the mountain to search for the beehive.

I showed a few samples of dead bees to the female Boss and the cat girl, then pointed at the forest, telling them that we were going to look for wild bees.

female Boss was indeed smart enough to understand what I meant when she saw my hint. She brought dozens of female Beastmen to the front of the team and led me and the several hundred members of the Bai Clan to the top of the mountain.

In addition to that, the search party also had Princess Changyue and the Three Holy Maiden. As the clan leader, she naturally had to personally attend such a major event, and since the Three Holy Maiden knew about the Old witch's Gu techniques, she would naturally follow along. As for Little White, I didn't ask her to come. I told her to go to Sun Moon Hall to hibernate by herself.

The mountain path after the snow was not easy to walk on, it was covered with a thick layer of snow. Walking on the snow, one could only feel that their feet were ice-cold, and sometimes, because the snow was accumulated too thick, it was unknown if there was a depression in the ground.

It was still cold on the mountain. When the mountain wind blew out from the tall spruce forest and brushed against my face, it was still icy cold, causing me to shiver. Luckily, I was wearing a warm cotton jacket made of beast fur and a pair of leather boots made of insole. Compared to the last time I climbed half-naked, it was much easier this time.

The female orcs led the way, and hundreds of troops circled the mountain road, many of them carrying nets, pots, baskets, canvas, and other props. These were all used to catch wild bees. We climbed two hills, and finally, on a relatively flat hill, we stopped.

When I stopped and looked into the distance, my eyes lit up.

What a beautiful scenery. A bright, clear lake appeared before all of us. The silver surface of the lake didn't have the slightest ripple, but lay quietly in front of us. The surface of the water was as smooth as a mirror, and it could even clearly reflect the yellow sun in the sky and the white moon as bright and pure as a wheel.

It was clear and bright, ethereal and tranquil. This was a huge lake with an irregular shape. It was as clean and refreshing as a natural reservoir.

In the center of the lake, there was a snow-covered island in the center of the lake. The island in the center of the lake was like a ladle, with a slender end connecting to the shore of the lake, allowing one to enter the island. On the island in the center of the lake, there was a tall cedar forest with snow-covered leaves.

female Boss took the lead and sprinted towards the island at the center of the lake. It was their destination, so the other White Clan people followed closely behind.

I followed the Orcs up to the island. From a distance, we couldn't see how big the island was nor how tall the spruce was. However, when we ran around the island, we were shocked by the surrounding tall spruce trees.

Each of these spruce trees is 10 to 20 meters tall, their branches are tall, their canopy supports the sky, they are quite old, and more importantly, their surfaces are straight, making it difficult for a normal person to climb them.

When I entered the spruce forest at the center of the lake, I was really shocked by the splendour of the spruce forest. At that moment, I heard a shout in my ear:

"I see the hive!" I turned my head to look and saw a member of the defense team screaming in excitement. At this moment, the other parts of the team started to shout in excitement as well. "I found it too!"

"There's a hive here!"

"Here too!"

The cries made us feel elated, and I followed the spruce that was looking up and down the sky.

Sure enough, on the trunks of several spruce trees, there were several snow-covered beehives. Each of them was as big as a pot lid!

However, seeing those hives, we didn't have to be happy for a long time, because these hives were all over ten meters tall. How could we get them?

While we were in a dilemma, Princess Changyue walked to the center of a clearing surrounded by cedar trees. At that time, a breeze blew past the canyons, and the warm sunlight shone through the dark clouds, shining through the sparse branches of the cedar trees and onto Princess Changyue's almost transparent white face. At that moment, Princess Changyue's black hair started to flutter in the wind!

Her long black hair scattered like willow branches in the wind. In an instant, a strong fragrance wafted out from Princess Changyue's body. I, who was standing over ten meters away from her, could clearly smell it.

At that moment, seeing Princess Changyue's actions, my spirits were lifted.

Oh right, I've heard that Princess Changyue's fragrance can attract bees and butterflies. Could it be …

Thinking of this, I hastily shouted:

"Everyone, quickly cover your heads with your cloaks, quickly!"

I don't need to say that the white people began to do the same, because in the next second, above us, there was an earth-shattering buzzing sound!

I looked up in horror, and then I saw huge masses of bees gathering like dark mists among the trees towards the princess in a white cotton dress!
