Countless bees flew around the hive, constantly watching for any movement around them.

Whenever they discover something that threatens their hive, they will not hesitate to fly up and surround the enemy, using their spikes to inflict a painful lesson on the enemy.

Listening to the buzzing of bees in the distance, Jiang Li took a deep breath.

So many bees, it's enough to drive anyone with trypophobia crazy.

Ye Jingmo noted down the surroundings of the beehive and gestured with his hand to go to the nearby bushes.

The three hid in the bushes.

It's impossible to take down such a large beehive by one person alone.

Before you even get close, you might get stung by bees and end up looking like a "pig-headed man".

The three of them weren't that foolish.

"That beehive is so big, there must be quite a few bees inside besides the patrolling bees outside."

We need to think of a way to outsmart them.

Everyone knows that you need to outsmart someone, but how do you do it?

Jiang Li fell into deep thought.

Liangzi gave a wry smile.

"I was just thinking of using smoke to stun the bees and then smashing the hive down with stones."

But as you can see, this tree is quite tall, so smoking it won't accurately reach the beehive.

This means that if the bees aren't stunned by the smoke, throwing stones at them will definitely result in a swarm of bees attacking them.

We don't have proper, airtight protective suits, so we'll inevitably get stung by bees.

Upon hearing Liang Zi's words, Jiang Li swallowed back the words she was about to say.

She also planned to use the smoke method, but after listening to Liangzi's words, she realized the problem.

Just as Liangzi said, if the smoke doesn't reach the bees, by the time the hive falls down...

The swarm of bees will definitely become agitated and may launch indiscriminate attacks in all directions.

Ye Jingmo closed his eyes, pondered for a while, and then slowly opened them.

"Then let's turn the order around."

? ?

Jiang Li and Liang Zi were full of question marks. What order should they switch?

However, since Ye Jingmo spoke, he must have had an idea.

This is the mysterious trust that Jiang Li and Liang Zi have in Ye Jingmo.

“Let’s go to the bamboo grove in front and cut a bamboo pole, then put a bag over the top of the pole.”

This bag needs to be big enough to hold the entire beehive.

At the same time, a fire should be lit under the tree.

By using bamboo poles to move the beehive near the fire, the smoke can stun the bees over a wide area.

This way, extracting honey won't be too dangerous.

This method is very feasible.

Jiang Li and Liang Zi agreed.

The most important task now is to go back to the bamboo forest and cut down the longest possible bamboo.

This allows you to stay far enough away when the bees swoop down to attack.

That would give you enough reaction time to run to a safe place.

There are many bamboos in the bamboo forest, but due to the drought, most of them are shriveled and short.

They spent some time choosing which bamboo to cut down.

Liangzi wanted to show off his skills, so he grabbed the axe from Jiang Li's hand, gathered his strength, and chopped at the bamboo.

The axe is embedded in the bamboo, and with just a little more force, it can fall over.

Liangzi moved the axe left and right to get it out, then gathered his strength and struck the injured part of the bamboo with force.

This time, the bamboo responded.

Ye Jingmo picked up the bamboo and weighed it.

Bamboo is hollow inside, and the lack of water during this period has caused its body to gradually dry out.

It is significantly lighter than before.

With the bamboo problem solved, now it's time to solve the bag problem.

That beehive was so huge.

In Jiang Li's space, only a rice bag fits its size.

But who would carry a bag of rice with them when they go out?

That's far too ostentatious.

Ye Jingmo used an axe to cut the top of the bamboo into a curved shape.

This makes it easier to hang the bag.

Jiang Li looked around, hoping to make some new discoveries.

Why? !

Is that plant ramie?

Jiang Li looked at the bare plant, feeling somewhat uncertain.

She broke off a small section of the top branch, examined it, and confirmed that the plant was indeed ramie.

Jiang Li's eyes lit up, and the problem with the bag was immediately solved.

She can weave a bag from the outer layer of ramie.

Anyway, this bag doesn't need to be particularly fine. Just weave it into a rough shape so that the honeycomb can fit inside.

Jiang Li broke the stem of the ramie at the middle to lower third and split it in two.

At this stage, it will have a thinner outer skin and a thicker rootstock.

By flicking the thin skin upwards, you can get a long strip.

Jiang Li broke off the rhizome, leaving only a thin layer of the outer skin.

Seeing Jiang Li's actions, Liang Zi also came over to help.

Soon, the two of them had a dozen ramie barks in their hands.

If you want to make clothes, you need to extract the fibers from these outer layers, beat them, and dry them, etc.

The process is extremely complex.

However, Jiang Li only wanted to make a rough little bag, so she didn't need to go through that process.

I roughly estimated the size of the beehive in my mind.

She squatted down and began weaving bags from the ramie bark.

This is a step that Liangzi, this big, burly guy, isn't quite good at.

Asking him to go through fire and water is no problem, but asking him to do this kind of delicate work is really asking too much of him.

Jiang Li can't embroider, but she has a certain talent for weaving.

My former roommate tried to knit a towel for her boyfriend, but she couldn't get it right no matter what she tried.

She taught her roommates after she learned it herself.

Tie the last strap of the watch strap into a knot, and Jiang Li's simple bag is complete.

However, it cannot be called a bag; it's more like a net.

Ye Jingmo hooked the net onto the bamboo and then reinforced it with the tools he carried to prevent it from falling off as the bamboo was being raised.

After preparing the tools, the three of them headed to the location of the beehive.

The final step is to light a fire under the tree.

It's not difficult; it just requires some effort to find enough fuel to start a fire and pile it under the tree.

All around were dry branches.

The three of them picked up a lot of things from the ground.

They also carefully cleared away the branches under the big tree to create a designated isolation area.

To prevent forest fires from starting later.

The previous fire still terrified Jiang Li.

Ye Jingmo carefully carried the branches to the foot of the tree and lit them with a lighter.

A wisp of gray smoke began to slowly drift into the sky.

Liangzi raised the bamboo pole, aligning the mesh opening with the bottom of the honeycomb.

His hands trembled slightly, yet he still slowly approached the hive.

Jiang Li held her breath, not daring to exhale, for fear of disturbing Liang Zi's movements.

Once he confirmed that the network port could accommodate the cellular data, Liangzi quickly and decisively pushed it in.
