The alarm clock snorted hard, and immediately after, the area around its nostrils swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Roar!
With a low growl and a shake of its head, it tried to drive away the bees, but more and more bees discovered the weak spot on its face.
Buzz...buzz...
In the blink of an eye, it's face was covered with dirt.
The alarm clock finally realized how difficult these bees were, and shook its head again to disperse the swarm in front of it. Its throat agitated, and it sprayed flames according to the swarm!
Under the high temperature flames, the palm-sized bees turned into ashes in the blink of an eye!
"Don't..." In Li Xiao's exclamation, the flames ejected from the mouth of the alarm clock also swept across the honeycomb on the rock wall——
The next second, the entire hive was instantly charred!
"Fetching water with a bamboo basket is in vain." Li Xiao stood under the rock wall, looking at the steaming honeycomb above, and suddenly felt like crying without tears.
His goal is not just honey - there are occasionally queen bees in the hive, and as long as he brings the living queen back, he can raise bees at home.
By that time, there will be an endless supply of honey, which is excellent for both food and domesticated animals.
This is like raising dodos. Once it reaches a large scale, you won't have to worry about eating eggs every day.
But now... even if there is a queen bee in the hive, she is still cooked at this moment!
Click!
As he spoke, the charred honeycomb cracked.
I saw that under its burnt black skin, it was filled with golden honey liquid.
Honey dripped down the cracks, and Li Xiao, who was standing directly under the honeycomb, suffered a disaster. He subconsciously raised his head and saw a large ball of golden viscous liquid covering him directly!
True honey.
He reached out and wiped a handful of the hot honey on his face. Looking at the yellow honey in his palm, he carefully licked it.
Mmm! It’s sweet and tastes pretty good!
It was a pity for the queen bee... He originally wanted to complain about the alarm clock, but when he saw the funny look of its nose bulging and trying hard to shrug, he couldn't give in to his own miserable situation, so he could only laugh.
"Hey, don't lick me! Don't lick me..."
After cleaning up the honey on his body, the hive no longer looked so hot. Li Xiao stood on top of the alarm clock, wrapped the hive with a coarse cloth, and took it off the rock wall.
There was still a lot of honey in the hive. Li Xiao looked inside, but he didn't see the queen bee. Fortunately.
After dismantling the blocks and loading it into the inventory, a giant beehive was brought to Li Xiao with twenty units of honey.
Queen bees are not common, and there are several hives on the rock wall, hoping to find one.
This time, Li Xiao would not let the silly alarm clock ruin the hive. He found a pile of wet branches and wood and piled them under a hive and lit a fire.
The wood that contained a lot of moisture ignited and emitted thick smoke. The smoke rose and soon enveloped the entire hive.
The bees emerging from the hive staggered and staggered, and soon became listless.
Seeing that the smoke was almost gone, Li Xiao put on the metal armor suit, stood above the alarm clock, and approached the hive despite the thick smoke.
The thick smoke made him shed tears, but he did not dare to stop the smoke. Without the cover of the thick smoke, he was afraid that he would be swallowed up by the angry swarm in the next second.
Of course, he wasn't much better now. Not only was he covered with bees, but these bees kept poking his armor with the spikes on their tails.
Looking inward along the hive's mouth, he still didn't find the queen bee, so Li Xiao used a machete to cut open the hive and put it piece by piece into the inventory.
After finishing the work, he jumped up to the fire a few times with the bees covering his body, and then used a torch to burn the bees that were unwilling to leave. This is how you got a hive.
Li Xiao collected three hives in a row, and when he reached the fourth hive, he finally saw the queen bee!
It was a "white bug" about an arm long, and its appearance had almost no connection with the appearance of a bee. It was said to be the queen bee, but it was the "tool" used by the bee colony for production. Most of the entire bee colony was surrounded by
It serves.
Feeding, mating, laying eggs...
Different from ordinary bees, around the queen of this hive, there is a group of bees smaller than ordinary bees. These strange bees are slender, but the spikes on their tails are more slender and sharper than ordinary bees.
This should be the "guards" in the bee colony who are responsible for protecting the queen!
These guys huddled in the innermost part of the hive, and were least affected by the smoke. All these combat bees were seen rushing towards Li Xiao, launching a fearless attack against the foreign invader.
If you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet?
Li Xiao, who was busy getting the queen bee out, felt a pain in his shoulder - it turned out that a combat bee followed the gap in the armor and pierced the leather connecting the metal armor with the spikes on its tail, injuring Li Xiao.
After slapping the bee to death, Li Xiao sped up his movements - he could already clearly feel the burning pain in his shoulder!
Bees are not scary, and the spikes are not scary. What is scary is the bee venom carried on the spikes!
Even among the fingertip-sized bees on Earth, there are dangerous guys like "killer bees", let alone the palm-sized bees on Ark Island.
Sure enough, Li Xiao had just put the queen bee into his inventory, and his left arm was completely unable to move.
Not caring about dismantling the hive, it jumped off the alarm clock's head, dispersed the bees on its body, and then unbuttoned its armor for a moment.
He could already clearly feel that his shoulders, arms and even half of his body were slowly swelling!
Sure enough, when the armor fell to the ground, the exposed left arm was obviously thicker. The swelling continued to extend to the chest... neck... and even the face!
In just a moment, Li Xiao's face and lips became swollen!
His vision became blurry and he slowly fell down.
"Damn, a bee was planted?!" He muttered, and found that he couldn't speak clearly.
While he was still conscious, he quickly took out the medicine and stuffed a few portions into his mouth, then kept applying the remaining medicine to the swelling.
But soon, he couldn't move at all and could only pant hard, hoping that his body could withstand this wave of bee venom.
His eyelids were swollen and he could not open his eyes. He fainted and passed out.
…
Li Xiao originally thought that with his level of combat power, coupled with the giant beast alarm clock, and mainly not provoking those top creatures, he could basically run amok on Ark Island.
But he never expected that the dangers on Ark Island were not only those giant beasts that were several meters tall, but even a simple palm-sized bee could kill him!
It has been several years since he came to Ark Island, and Li Xiao's physical fitness has long been as strong as that of an athlete who trains regularly.
But when compared with the creatures in the Arkworld, the human body is still like an egg against a stone, there is no comparison at all.
Fortunately, this time only a bee stung him, and the bee venom was limited.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Xiao finally woke up.
He was licked awake by a huge tongue. When he opened his eyes, he was half-immersed in the cold lake water. In front of his face, the Ankylosaurus's big head was stretching out its tongue to lick him.
At some point, he had returned to the crater and was staying in the small lake in the crater.
Looking around, on the steps beside him, Zhou Qing's figure was sitting there, looking at him with an unkind expression.
