Chapter 515 The Perfume is Poisonous

In the mountain without tigers, the monkeys proclaim themselves kings. Even when there were tigers, a giant pig like the second senior brother wouldn't be afraid of them. In fact, if it encountered an ordinary tiger, it would probably be the tiger that ran away in panic.

Suming, feeling rough and out of breath from the wild ride, finally got off the pig at the narrow entrance of the Hundred Flowers Valley.

As a mount, the second senior brother's quality was beyond reproach: fast, strong, and obedient. It was just the equipment that wasn't up to snuff. Next time he had a chance, he would have to get a custom saddle made just for the second senior brother and Pig No. 2. A pig saddle?

"Wait here for me, and don't wander off," Suming patted the second senior brother's broad back, allowing it to roam freely nearby, just so long as it didn't stray too far.

He then dismounted and walked on foot towards the interior of Hundred Flowers Valley.

If one were to look down from the sky, the Hundred Flowers Valley would appear as a large depression on the ground, surrounded by cliffs with only a narrow gorge serving as the entrance. In ancient times, this terrain would have been a strategic choke point, easily defended by a few against many.

Walking along the gorge towards the inside, he hadn't fully entered the Hundred Flowers Valley when he sensed that something was amiss!

As expected of a gorge, there were cliffs on both sides.

However, the color of the cliffs ahead was clearly off, a greyish-black that looked like a shell had formed on them.

Suddenly, the cliff walls on both sides came 'alive.'

The grey 'shell' instantly turned into countless tiny dots, like fluttering bits of broken butterfly wings, and with a buzzing sound, they rose into the air, forming a dark cloud that blocked the way forward.

Mosquitoes! A huge swarm of mosquitoes!

"Make way, make way. It's so gross it gives me the creeps..."

From a distance of more than ten meters, the sight of the swarm made Suming's skin crawl, and he quickly waved his hands, scattering his spiritual power.

The last time he went to the provincial capital, he filled a mineral water bottle with a large number of mosquitoes to bring back. It was purely for a prank and a bit of fun... However, mosquitoes are really not that 'fun.' The novelty wore off in less than half a day, so he let them loose in Hundred Flowers Valley to be with the bees.

Mosquitoes have a short lifespan; he hadn't expected that this swarm would still be alive, not only surviving but seemingly having expanded their numbers. The dark mass was many times larger than when he had brought them here.

However, this time he wasn't surprised, knowing that was one of the gathering places for the bees. The bees flying out were busy working hard—for without these diligent little bees, where would there be so much honey and royal jelly for his lavish use?

Blazing a small trail through the sea of flowers and surrounded by the bees, he finally reached the small grove.

Compared to his last visit, there were even more beehives hanging from the branches in the grove, resembling a fruit orchard, where the fruits were beehives. Some of these hives contained honey, while others housed bees.

Behind Hundred Flowers Valley were several larger groves. From Suming's spiritual power perception, just this grove alone housed hives numbering in the hundreds of thousands. At the moment, he couldn't even fully grasp how many bees and wasps were present in the entire colony. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

Two Queen Bees lived in this grove. From a distance, he could see their hives, which had grown several times larger than when he had last left. Likely due to their great size and weight, the branches could no longer support them. After being relocated, they now sat side by side atop the canopy, like two enormous bird nests.

As soon as he walked into that old tree, the previously scented fragrance intensified.

"Hmm?" Suming paused slightly in surprise.

He initially thought that the fragrance was from the myriad flowers in the sea of flowers... and that wasn't wrong, it was the scent of flowers.

But after entering the grove, the scent should have been lighter than in the sea of flowers outside. It should have been fainter, yet now it was the opposite—more distinct inside the grove.

This fragrance was different from any perfume he had smelled before. Suming knew many beautiful girls, and just Nangong Yan alone typically had four to five kinds of high-end perfumes for different occasions, each costly. Ding Jing and Hong Feifei would also wear perfume, even Ludmila, the mercenary, used it when off-mission.

But compared to the scent he was smelling now, those so-called international luxury brand perfumes seemed crude and vulgar, like rebellious trends from the hair salon standing before the Seven Fairies.

Suming stood under the tree, gazing up at the two large beehives above, filled with curiosity.

Could it be that the fragrance came from these two beehives?

It was really strange. He had heard of bees making honey, but never of bees producing perfume.

And the wasps...

Perfume, toxic?
