Chapter 41: Sweet Cliff Honey
This is not the first time Xiong Batian has come to this place, in the past, every year at this time, he would come here to get a little sweet and delicious, and nutritious honey as a dessert.
However, the scene in front of him was very different from his impression.
Not to mention the bees that were bigger than an adult's thumb, and the honeycombs that were the size of a square table alone made him dumbfounded.
You know, in the past, the largest honeycomb here was about the same size as a basketball middle section, and compared to now, it was not on the same order of magnitude at all.
Moreover, the number of honeycombs now is obviously much more than in previous years, roughly counting, there are at least twenty or thirty, densely hanging under the cliffs that are almost perpendicular to the ground!
A lot of golden honey has already slipped down the cliff, but it has been licked clean by Xiong Xiaobao at the moment, and only the place where she can't reach can be preserved.
Woo~Woo~Woo~
After trying several times in a row and failing to climb the cliff, Xiong Xiaobao was so anxious that he screamed, and he came to Xiong Batian's side, constantly rubbing his head against him, pushing him towards the cliff.
There is no need to guess at all, Xiong Batian knows what this guy is thinking.
Because...... He's playing the same idea!
"The aroma of this honey is much richer than in previous years, and it tastes absolutely great!" Smelling the sweet smell in the air, Xiong Batian's taste buds suddenly began to riot, it seemed that Xiong Xiaobao was pushing him, but in fact, he was basically acting by himself.
His huge size of 1,500 kilograms is not something that Xiong Xiaobao can shake now.
"You all go to the side and wait, or you will be stung by these grumpy little guys for a while, don't rely on me!" As he walked towards the cliff, he roared, reminding the three bears and one fox.
Now these bees are not comparable to previous years, although they are no different for him, but for other bears, it is not necessarily.
If the honey is not eaten, but is stung all over the head, it will be more than worth the loss.
Especially the white fox Xiaoqian, in terms of her size and fur, if she really wants to be targeted by this group of bees, it may not be a simple full head, and whether her life can be saved is a question.
'Rong'er', who is getting smarter and smarter, and Xiong Dabao, who is 'young and old', are very well-behaved and walked under a big tree on the side, ready to jump into the dense forest at any time.
Only the foodie Xiong Xiaobao turned back three times in one step, a little reluctant, but she finally followed her mother and brother to hide aside, and by the way, she also greeted her 'best friend' Xiaoqian.
Seeing that the three bears and one fox had retreated to a safe distance, Xiong Batian also relieved himself and walked straight to the bottom of the cliff.
As if sensing something, the bees, which had been safe and sound, began to fly a little impatiently, and the buzzing was obviously louder than before.
Xiong Batian ignored the bees' movements, and raised his head to observe the golden honeycombs.
In previous years, he would find some broken branches from nearby trees to use as tools, but this time, he didn't feel like he needed them.
After observing for a while, he retreated some distance, and then suddenly ran wildly, and when he was about to approach the cliff, he jumped up, like a civet cat, and jumped up two meters above the cliff.
He himself stood up nearly five meters high, and this time he jumped, his head almost level with the honeycomb, and before he fell, he slammed his palms, and his claws popped out, passing through the roots of the two honeycombs.
The sharp claws were like steel knives, easily cutting off the two pieces of honeycomb, and when they landed, Xiong Batian also took advantage of the situation to slow down the strength of the honeycomb falling.
When he fell to the ground, two pieces of honeycomb also fell into his arms, and he held them steadily.
Buzz ~ Buzz ~ Buzz ~ Buzz ~
His house was demolished, and the bees here suddenly rioted, fanning their wings one by one, rushing towards Xiong Batian like a bomber, wanting to sting him to death.
However, the bees soon despaired, because no matter how hard they tried, they could not pierce their poisonous needles into Xiong Batian's body, and the thick layer of bear fur and bear skin, like a solid wall, completely blocked their attacks.
After a frenzied attack to no avail, the bees reluctantly gave up and regrouped near the honeycomb, as if they had forgotten what had happened before, and quickly regained their composure.
Many bees have barbs on their poisonous needles, and they are connected to the poison sacs and internal organs, so their attacks are completely suicidal, and after attacking the enemy, they often lose their lives.
But at present, these bees obviously have no such defect, and the poisonous needles shrink freely, which looks numb, that is, when encountering Xiong Batian, an unreasonable guy, if ordinary creatures provoke them, the consequences will be absolutely miserable!
"Well, it tastes great!"
Xiong Batian took a small lick, and suddenly, the rich and sweet taste of honey invaded, making his index finger move.
However, he still suppressed his impulse, after all, there are wives and children not far away, as the head of the family, this kind of good thing naturally has to be shared with the whole family!
The two honeycombs looked big, but they didn't weigh much, and he stood on his legs like a human, holding honey and quickly walked to where 'Rong'er' and the others were.
Woo~Woo~
Xiong Xiaobao was the most excited, staring at the two pieces of honeycomb without blinking, saliva was already flowing at the corner of her mouth, Xiong Batian just put down the honeycomb, she couldn't wait to pounce on it, click and bite a large piece, smash it and eat it.
On the other side, Xiong Dabao and Xiaoqian also came over and began to enjoy this rare delicious dessert.
'Rong'er', who is getting smarter and smarter, is tired of being with Xiong Batian first, and then leans over slowly to enjoy the dessert.
Xiong Batian didn't eat directly, he came to the bottom of the cliff again, and used the previous method to cut off two large pieces of honeycomb again, and after the bees were quiet again, he returned to the three bears and one fox and began to eat together.
The three pieces of honeycomb look very big, but in fact, they add up to more than 100 catties, which is a lot for the average brown bear, but for their family, it can really only be regarded as a dessert after a meal.
After ten minutes of effort, the four pieces of honeycomb were eaten clean, and some of the honey stained on the leaves and grass was licked clean by Xiong Xiaobao.
Foodie Xiong Xiaobao obviously didn't enjoy it, rubbing Xiong Batian coquettishly, ready to let him get a little more, but this time Xiong Batian didn't move.
"Little guy, do you understand the truth of fishing with all your might? I've finished all the good things at once, and I won't have to eat them anymore! He gently rubbed Xiong Xiaobao's head and let out a low roar.
The bees here have a certain migratory bird characteristics, and before the official arrival of winter, that is, between half a month and a month, they will migrate and leave to spend the winter in warmer places, and will return when the ice and snow melt the next year.
With the terrifying amount of food of their family, if they don't restrain themselves, it is estimated that they can eat up all the honeycombs here in one meal.
At that time, even if these bees return next year, it is estimated that they will not make their home here, in that case, Xiong Batian is not sure that he will find a new home in the dense forest.
So, it's better to be cautious.
Xiong Xiaobao was very smart, although she didn't fully understand what Xiong Batian was talking about, she still understood the general meaning, so she didn't push Xiong Batian anymore and stood aside obediently.
After pacifying Xiong Xiaobao, Xiong Batian asked 'Rong'er' to take her and Xiaoqian back, and he himself took Xiong Dabao into the dense forest to complete today's hunt.
