Chapter 25: The Gambling

The search for honey was blocked, and Li Mang was discouraged and unwilling, so he searched near several stone mountains, trying to find a lonely hive, but to no avail.

"My honey!" Li Mang is unwilling! casually slashed the mountain opening knife in his hand to an old dead tree next to him - "Bang! ”

"Buzz! Buzz Buzz ......"

Li Mang was surprised and delighted by the bees coming from the tree hole, but seeing that there were already bees flying out of it, he dared to stay at the moment, and ran away with the pheasant in his hand.

Under a tree, Li Mang lay motionless on the back of the trunk until the bees in the dead wood calmed down, and then began to think about countermeasures. He must serve this nest of honey, but it must be based on the premise of protecting himself, even if he is not allowed to do so, otherwise there is no way to explain it when he goes out of the Yanhuang compound.

But these are not those docile bees in the outside world, they must be pricked when they see people, and you can see that there is not a single white ape in this forest, which shows that these bees are not good.

When beekeepers collect honey, they will not destroy the living environment of bees, but now, Li Mang has to be ruthless and make a bold decision - burn!

He quietly swept the dead leaves around the dead wood, and surrounded the honeycomb, which was a lot of work, after all, he had to be vigilant about the bees coming in and out. After doing this, Li Mang did not rush to light the fire, and after thinking about his plan, he ran back to Zhaoyao Mountain to bring a bucket of water, and prepared a bucket full of water.

"Da!"

As Li Mang pressed the lighter, the already dry leaves gradually spread the flames, and he ran far away, sitting on the side and waiting for the honey.

The flames grew stronger and the smoke thickened, soon enveloping the honeycomb in the center of the fire. Bees are afraid of smoke, and as the smoke pours into the nest, the bees in the hive go crazy and fly out of the hive to squarp steadily. But outside they were even more unbearable, and some of them flew away in a hurry, hovering around, but many of them threw themselves into the flames of increasing strength, and death awaited them.

When the dead leaves were completely ignited, even the dead wood where the hive was located began to catch fire, which made Li Mang a little anxious, because there were still some bees still sticking to the nest, and it could be judged from the buzzing sound coming from inside that there were quite a few.

Now that there is smoke cover, it is a good time in the past, Li Mang picked up the machete and quickly rushed into the center of the smoke, with the help of a hazy field of vision, the mouth of the beehive was split into a big hole, so that the bees that were out of order inside could fly out faster, and more smoke could be poured into it.

"Ahem......" After doing this, Li Mang immediately ran, returned to the back of the wood, wiped his tears, and after just a while, he was uncomfortably smoked. He waited patiently for a few minutes, and when he saw that the flames on the dead wood were about to hurt the hive, he carried a bucket of water to extinguish the fire on the dead wood.

"Click!"

The dead wood was split open by Li Mang, and the beehive inside appeared in his field of vision, and his eyes lit up immediately. It's actually a new nest of bees, but four large honeycombs have already been brewed. Propolis is crystal clear, exuding a strong aroma of saliva, which is tempting to look at.

Emptied all the water in the bucket and dried it with a paper towel that he had brought with him, he carefully cut off the honey with a dagger and put it into the bucket. As for whether this nest of bees can survive, it can only be said that it is fate, and the wormhole left behind is the only thing he can feel guilty about.

Carrying a bucket of honey back to Tangting Mountain, I couldn't wait to break a piece and put it in my mouth without processing, sweet but not greasy, there was a familiar fragrance in the entrance that filled the taste buds, and the warm feeling after the lower abdomen was more obvious than ever.

The pores on Li Mang's body are about to open, oozing a lot of sweat, and there are some stains, which is the effect of washing the marrow, but it is faster than eating meat, and the effect is more than ten times that of the fruit!

The energy on his body made Li Mang urgently need to release, so he practiced the moves that Cheng Wei taught him yesterday in Zhaoyao Mountain.

However, he had a surprise this time, consuming the power of honey and exercising at the same time, not only could he accelerate the digestion of honey energy, but also quickly ate these ancient martial arts moves that originally needed to be tempered, which was an unexpected joy.

……

In the afternoon, Li Mang came to the training base as promised, but this time he was stopped in front of the No. 44 training room.

Xiao Tu, who was led by Xiao Tu with a gloomy face, had a young man of the same age as Li Mang beside him, younger than Xiao Tu, but Xiao Tu's attitude towards him was flattering, and the young man raised his head slightly, showing people with his nostrils, and his arrogant posture seemed to come from his bones.

This young man is a member of the eighth group, named Liu Junchi, is an ancient martial artist, has practiced Nanquan since childhood, but his strength is not weak at a young age, and it is inevitable that he will have the arrogance of a genius.

Li Mang's face sank, and then he asked expressionlessly: "What do you want to do!" ”

"You hit the eight of us?" Liu Junchi asked with his nostrils raised.

Li Mang looked at Xiao Tu and asked him to look away before he said without being humble or arrogant: "This matter has been dealt with by the two stewards, please get out of the way for me to train." ”

"Hey, take the steward to press this son, right!" Liu Junchi smiled coldly, and suddenly made a move without any prelude, and a huge fist rubbed the air and shouted.

Li Mang was startled, instinctively turned sideways, and dodged. However, Liu Junchi only raised his eyebrows, and swept over without retracting his fist.

"Bang!"

Li Mang blocked it with his arm, and he was knocked back two steps to stabilize it, and there was a faint pain in the position where his wrist was beaten, which made his face gloomy. After living in Yanhuang for so long, he has become accustomed to hiding from these strangers, if he had encountered this before, he would only leave silently, after all, the identity is here, and the struggle will only be tricked worse, and no one will give you justice.

But now, he doesn't say that he has a special skill, but at least he has some self-defense skills, and his mentality has changed significantly, at least he can no longer swallow his anger like before.

"Yes, there are two hits, no wonder you can beat Xiao Tu as if you don't even know the!" Liu Junchi glanced at Li Mang twice, but that's all, the interest in his eyes was higher. Maybe for him, bullying weak people will only lose face, and Li Mang has the ability to satisfy his competitive mentality.

Xiao Tu next to him laughed dryly, displeased with Liu Junchi's words, but his eyes only flashed twice, and his face was still full of flattery.

"Crunch!"

But just when the atmosphere at the scene became more and more tense, the door of the No. 44 training room was suddenly opened, and the lame Cheng Wei appeared in their eyes, and the atmosphere changed.

"......" Liu Junchi, who was still arrogant, raised his eyebrows, and his smile became a little dry, and he laughed again. His arrogance is true, but he still has the mentality of bullying the weak, and in the face of a senior like Cheng Wei, he does not dare to have a trace of arrogance.

Who knows, after Cheng Wei glanced at them, he said in a surprising voice: "Don't fight in the aisle, otherwise the administrator will come forward to stop it, enter the training room!" ”

"......" This time Li Mang's expression froze, and he had already guessed what the idea of the cold-faced Cheng Wei was, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, today he is going to take a practical class!

“…… Good! Liu Junchi was not afraid, respectfully held his hand, glanced at Li Mang with a smile, and took the lead in walking into the No. 44 training room. Although Xiao Tu felt uncomfortable, he could only follow up, but he was extremely worried, Cheng Wei was a member of the ninth group, if he cheated, what should they do!

In the training room, Li Mang and Liu Junchi stood staring at each other, and in the monitoring center, a group of people also took great interest to convert the surveillance video to the big screen to watch the competition in real time, and a question couldn't help but come to their minds at the same time: Who will win?

"Why don't we find something fun?" One said suddenly.

"How to play?" The person next to him asked curiously,

"Let's make a bet!" The man laughed.

"If you're a bookmaker, I'll buy it!" The person next to him laughed, does this need to be compared? Li Mang and Liu Junchi's strength value is on their table, how can Li Mang, who has just awakened his ability, be the opponent of Liu Junchi, who has been practicing hard for more than 20 years!

"No, no, no, this is a must-accompany gambling board, I'm not stupid, but we can let Cai Chai and Yang Fan bet, and then we will take a share of it, not too much, thirty percent is good, no matter which of them wins, we can have money in our pockets!" The man smiled so slyly that everyone next to him gave him a thumbs up.

Soon, Cai Chai and Yang Fan received text messages at the same time, and the screens of their respective computers were also actively converted into the monitoring screens of the No. 44 training room by the people in the monitoring center.

"I'll pay 10 million to buy Liu Junchi to win, Steward Yang, do you dare to follow?" This is a text message from Cai Chai to Yang Fan.

Yang Fan raised his eyebrows, this group of guys clearly wanted to cheat him for money. If he doesn't call, he will be said to distrust his members, and if he does, he will fall for their tricks. It can be seen that this time, whether he follows or not, he will be slapped in the face, unless Li Mang can win.

"Steward Cai, the thickness of your skin has increased again, congratulations!" Yang Fan said sarcastically. Thinking about it, Li Mang is just a person who has just awakened, and he was still a secretary with little strength before, it was not right for the eight groups to let the official members provoke Li Mang, and now Cai Chai also took the opportunity to gamble 10 million, and his face is no longer ordinarily thick.

Seeing the text message sent by Yang Fan, Cai Chai raised his eyebrows lightly and responded: "This is a small game for the brothers in the monitoring center, I am just participating, if Steward Yang has any dissatisfaction, you can refuse to participate." ”

Cai Chai is hating Yang Fan, although the real power of the monitoring center is not large, but it is an extremely important auxiliary department, if Yang Fan offends them for this, Cai Chai is happy to hear it.

"That's it, everyone is just having a hand, why should Yang be serious." The monitoring center also interjected, not that they couldn't see Cai Cai's careful thoughts, but they just said a word for the sake of sharing.

"Okay, I'll follow!" Yang Fan lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at the monitoring screen on the screen, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes: Li Mang may not necessarily lose!
