Chapter 53: The Burning of the Hive

According to the plan, they will set out from the village tomorrow at noon, and the only way to enter the cave is tonight. But how do you avoid the bees and get in?

"Ah Fei, is there a way to dare to try?" In the dark, Yan Zhutou's voice came.

At this time, Heihu Mountain was already pitch black, and the cold and biting mountain wind was crying like a demon in the mountain stream.

Yan Zhutou's words were like a glimmer of light in the dark, Wang Jifei hurriedly raised his head and asked. "Uncle Yan, what's the solution?"

"Fire, for the sake of now, we can only attack with fire. Then add some ingredients and add some medicine. You can't burn them, you can't smoke them. ”

"Well, I just wish there was only one exit from this cave. But try it anyway, or I'm not reconciled. ”

It took nearly an hour for the two to find enough firewood. During this period, Wang Jifei had an idea, and suddenly remembered that peach gum is also a very flammable thing, and the effect is comparable to fire oil.

Feeling dark, the two secretly stuffed nearly 600 kilograms of firewood into the cave, including nearly 50 catties of peach gum. In the process of plugging, due to the severe cold weather in the mountains, all the mountain bees entered a semi-dormant state, and even if they were hit by firewood, they only squirmed a few times and continued to sleep.

At midnight, when the temperature was at its lowest, the two lit a fire. The mountain wind was extremely strong at night, and the two of them fanned the wind desperately inside.

After a while, a raging fire broke out in the cave, and crazy tongues of fire emerged from the entrance of the cave seven or eight meters away.

In about a quarter of an hour, the mountain wall at the entrance of the cave was too hot to grasp, and the dead vines nearby were slowly scorching. Wang Jifei estimated that the temperature at the entrance of the cave was three or four hundred degrees.

The two came to the bottom of the mountain wall. Everything that needs to be done is done, and the rest is just a matter of waiting. Looking at the hole that was still spitting tongues of fire, Wang Jifei felt that it was not a big problem.

After another half hour, the fire in the cave slowly faded, leaving only billowing smoke. The experienced Yan Zhutou told Wang Jifei.

This is the reason why the air inside is burned out and the firewood cannot be burned completely. Let him wait with peace of mind.

After nearly two hours, the temperature at the entrance of the cave dropped to the point where people could barely get close, and the two men, covering their faces with wet cloths, carefully entered the cave with their weapons.

Walking on the stone face that was still a little hot, the two of them didn't see anything, and the few corpses at the entrance of the cave had turned to gray soot.

After walking more than ten meters into the hole, there was no soot on the ground inside. Some are just shriveled bee carcasses and a thin layer of ash. "Ah Fei, it seems that they were all burned to death, and if they weren't burned to death, they were all smoked to death. ”

A few steps further in, there is a turn, a cave with a diameter of twenty meters, and there are obvious traces of knives and axes on the mountain wall.

At this time, the floor of the cave was covered with dense mountain bee corpses, and the beehives on the cave walls were also shriveled up like broken cotton wool.

Enduring the smell of burnt fat meat, Wang Jifei used his long sword to pick open the bee corpse more than half a meter thick, looking for useful clues.

Although the thick layer of corpses brought great trouble to the search of Wang Jifei and the others, it also protected a lot of things.

Busy until dawn, the two finally went through the entire cave, during which they went out to ventilate several times.

The end result was very good. The quality of what can survive the attack of the swarm must be good. A dark green sword in front of the two of them, three steel knives, and three rolls of sheepskin were the most important things.

The style of the sword and knife is not like that of the Eastern Wu Kingdom, and Yan Zhutou said that this is the style of the Yue Kingdom. It seems that these people are warriors who sneaked into the Yue Kingdom.

The next parchment roll confirmed their guess. There is a roll of sheepskin marked with intermittent black dotted lines and small circles marking the route from Yue to the Xiaoqinglong Mountains.

There are irregular routes in the Qinglong Mountain Range, and these routes mainly go around the territory borders of the powerful demon beasts in the mountains. Even so, those who can use these routes to cross the mountains need at least a martial artist-level character.

It is definitely impossible for all the dead bodies above to be in the martial artist realm, so there is no need for Yue Guo to send so many people into the mountain, and it is completely possible to sneak in slowly through other means. Could it be that there are other secrets here?

With such a question, Wang Jifei opened the second parchment roll.

The military deployment map, the two were taken aback, this second parchment scroll is the military deployment map of the entire Qinglong County and the border between Yue State. Shimen Town suddenly came to the door, with the words five hundred marked next to it, and there were traces of smearing next to it.

This is the trace of their continuous revisions after spying on the military situation, and there are no less than ten places on the entire map.

It is sad and ridiculous that the defense deployment of a country is clearly understood by the enemy country. How long can this dilapidated house of the imperial court last forever......

The depressed two opened the last volume.

When the two of them looked at it, their faces finally looked better. The things drawn on this sheepskin are the same as the map obtained by Ye Lan, marking the information of the pro-Vietnamese forces in the entire Nanshan Mansion, and the Yinnu Gate and the Dark Star Gate are on it.

There were mountain bee corpses all over the ground, and the smell of cooked meat came out from time to time, and Yan Zhutou, who was in a slightly better mood, said. "It's a pity that the time is too tight, otherwise so many corpses can always collect some good things. Ah Fei, is there a sense of waste? ”

"Yes, I don't know where this queen bee is, not to mention anything else, it's good to pick up two beast soul stones. ”

"Ah Fei, although I am not a hunter, I know that the queen bee is usually hidden in the hive. We don't think we've searched this thing yet, have we?" said Yan Zhutou with a smile and pointed to the broken cotton wool-like honeycomb on the cave wall.

Before coming to the hive, the swallow catcher head was cut with a knife, and the countless bee eggs in the hive had died.

Picked one up and looked at it. "This bee chrysalis is a good thing, but it's a pity. ”

Tearing through the other hives, he finally found the queen in the deepest part of the cave. Looking at the fat body, if it weren't for the one-foot-long bee sting on the tail, Wang Jifei wouldn't dare to imagine that this wild dog-sized object was a mountain bee.

A knife split the head of the queen bee, and Yan Zhutou turned around and said. "Why, I've never seen such a big mountain bee, it must be a demon beast that can grow so big, I don't know how many beast soul stones there are?"

After dismantling the queen bee into eight pieces, Yan Zhutou found two cyan beast soul stones.

After pulling out the one-foot-long black thorn, the two of them packed up their things and hurried back.

In the small courtyard of Qingshi Village, Yin Qiang's family was bidding farewell to Wang Jifei and the others.

"Ah Fei, why are you in such a hurry to leave, is it really going to war? ”

Pulling Uncle Yin aside, Wang Jifei was not afraid of revealing his identity at this time. "Uncle, I won't tell you anything, I'm a member of the court now. This time I came on official business, and the fur matter was a cover. ”

Uncle Yin was stunned for a moment, and then said to Wang Jifei with a smile: "Uncle understands, I won't ask more, just let me go here." I'll find an excuse to deal with the villagers. ”

"Uncle, I put my fur here, and there is another layer of meaning. I hope you can move away, and don't go to the town. ”

Hearing this, Uncle Yin suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Jifei with blazing eyes.

Seeing Wang Jifei's calm face and serious look, Uncle Yin nodded. It seemed that he looked around with some reluctance. "I see, I'll go back and talk to your aunt. ”
