Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

Chapter 144 Wild Bees Soaring Through the Sky!

With the bright sunshine of spring, it's the perfect time for a spring outing and enjoying the spring scenery!

Just as Li Xingzhi and his group were arguing over some fruit, another group of five people came out of the city.

The three people in the middle appeared to be a family of three—the middle-aged man was handsome and distinguished, holding the hand of the woman beside him, glancing at her from time to time with eyes full of tenderness and affection; the woman wore a veil, obscuring her face, but her slender figure and graceful posture gave her a unique and elegant charm; while a little boy of a few years old, oblivious to the two exchanging glances, stared curiously around!

The three appeared to be from a wealthy family, exuding an air of superiority that set them apart from the others, yet they were not much different from the tourists around them.

However, the two burly men closely following the family of three were quite eye-catching!

The two burly men had bulging muscles all over their bodies, each with a large knife around their waist, and were over eight feet tall!

A man with a long, black beard that hung straight down to the ground, high-set eyebrows, and a slightly sallow complexion, whose eyes flashed with a sharp light as they opened and closed, making him someone not to be underestimated!

The other man had a full beard, high eyebrows, and a slightly raised head, exuding an air of arrogance and aloofness, as if he didn't care about anything in the world! Only when he occasionally glanced at the two tall and strong middle-aged men beside him did he lower his arrogant head slightly!

Two burly men stood like demons on either side. Although the family in the middle was warm and friendly, the moment the two men glared at them, the crowd split in two like water, and no one dared to approach within a few feet of them! A group of five people then stood out from the crowd, attracting curious glances from time to time.

The family of three walking in the middle seemed to have long been used to the stares of those around them. They ignored everyone else and strolled slowly forward, occasionally looking up at the beautiful colors of spring around them.

The couple in the middle were talking quietly, seemingly thoroughly enjoying this leisurely time, and before they knew it, they had drifted away from the crowd...

"Wow, it smells so good!"

A clear, childlike cry interrupted the couple's conversation. The middle-aged man and the woman beside him both looked down and saw a fair-skinned, adorable little boy whose little nose was twitching, his mouth was secretly swallowing saliva, and his two little eyes were wide open, almost shining.

"Huh?" The middle-aged man uttered a questioning sound, his nose twitching slightly. A fragrance, like orchids and musk, slowly entered his nose, seeped into his heart, and gradually dissolved, becoming an indelible, sweet sweetness that reached the depths of his soul! It made one intoxicated by it!

The middle-aged man's slightly intoxicated expression vanished upon smelling it, a hint of doubt flickering in his eyes before disappearing into his gaze. He glanced at the imposing men on either side of him, then looked at the child beside him with a slight smile, saying, "Let's go see what it is that smells so wonderful and refreshing!"

The middle-aged man didn't hear that as soon as he finished speaking, the throats of the two burly men next to him also rose and fell slightly.

The group of five followed the refreshing aroma and went up the river. Before long, they saw three people sitting around a grill. There were only two boys, one big and one small, and a girl. The table, wine, bowls and chopsticks were set out, but there were no servants around, which made them feel a little strange!

After all, this place is far from Chang'an, and it's inevitable that some petty thieves, savages, and ferocious beasts will cause trouble. If it weren't for the bright spring sunshine making them forget their journey, the group of five would not have come here.

At this moment, the aroma grew even stronger, and the little boy next to me was already making gurgling noises! The longing in his eyes made it impossible to refuse.

"Let's go see what's so strange!" The middle-aged man saw that there were only a few children. Although he felt it was strange, he relaxed his vigilance a lot when he saw the giant men on both sides.

As the group approached, they saw a boy flipping several chicken wings skewered on bamboo sticks over a blazing ember in one hand, while in the other hand he produced a small, white porcelain bottle with a delicate, milky sheen. He uncorked the bottle, tilted it slightly, and a thin golden thread flowed from the opening, cascading down, accompanied by a refreshing fragrance that made the eyes of his two young companions beside him shine.

The golden thread was caught by the wing meat below, and instantly, the originally golden wing meat seemed to be dyed with a layer of radiant color, the shimmering light dazzling to the eye! After being roasted over charcoal, a fragrance a hundred times stronger suddenly permeated everyone's heart, the golden honey syrup irresistible!

The middle-aged man stepped forward, about to say something.

Suddenly, his expression changed as he caught sight of a dark cloud flying from a distant mountain peak, heading straight for them! Seeing the situation was not right, the two strong men beside him quickly moved to the middle-aged man's side, their eyes flashing with a strange light. They gripped their broadswords tightly, their eyes fixed on the ever-changing and growing dark cloud, their expressions filled with solemnity!

The boys and girls next to them seemed oblivious!

The dark clouds grew larger and closer, forming a massive shadow across the vast expanse of sky and earth, obscuring the sun! They flew above the group, seemingly about to descend upon them!

Only then did the middle-aged man and the two burly men beside him realize what the ever-growing black cloud was—it was a swarm of poisonous bees the size of a thumb!

"Buzz!"

The faint sound of flapping wings, at this moment, was like thunder, like a torrential downpour, like a raging torrent! It sent chills down one's spine and made one tremble all over!

The two burly men who had been standing solemnly to the side, looking like towering iron towers, now showed expressions of horror! The veins on their large hands gripping the knives bulged, their expressions ferocious and terrifying!

The woman standing next to the middle-aged man had already removed her veil, revealing her beautiful face. She looked at the dark cloud with a pale face, and with one hand, she was about to put the veil she had taken off on the middle-aged man's head.

A look of surprise flashed across Jiao Lianchang's face, but his eyes gleamed as he turned and suddenly fixed his gaze on the fragrant wing meat in the boy's hand not far away.

He suddenly took a big step forward, and with his large, calloused hand, he grabbed at the object in the boy's hand!

Li Xingzhi had already seen the group of people approaching.

Although he didn't know who the people were, he could make a sense of it by looking at the two towering figures beside the middle-aged man, who exuded a murderous aura and looked like gods of death. He figured they must be those people!

Now that he roughly knew who the visitor was, he was surprised and curious, but he remained outwardly calm. After all, with his current abilities, he no longer needed to beg from anyone.

He hadn't expected that a bottle of Jade Bee Honey would attract so many wild bees. He was slightly surprised, but knowing the effects of Jade Bee Honey, he wasn't surprised at all; in fact, he was quite delighted! He had originally thought that Jade Bee Honey could only control jade bees, but he hadn't expected it could also lure these wild bees over. It seemed he had gained another powerful weapon!
