I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you're saying I didn't time travel?

Chapter 98 Humans are worse than pigs! Humans are worse than pigs!

"Friends, look what this is!"

Riding on Sunday's back, Qi Xuan showed the camera something he had just acquired:
"That's right, this is an iron block shaped like a triangular pyramid. Its material is black iron, which is much harder than ordinary iron. It will not rust even after being placed in nature for a long time."

In fact, just by looking at its fairly standard triangular pyramid shape, you can tell that it is not a natural product, but a man-made object, the result of artificial manufacturing.

We can see that the conical base of this iron piece looks very sharp, and there are wear marks on it, so it must have been used frequently.

As for why it's a human and not an animal, let's look at the imprints on both sides. Can you see them? These are fingerprints left from long-term use.

In conclusion, this is a creation left behind by some indigenous people.

Now we've even found items that the natives frequently use, so it seems we're not far from finding them.

As they were talking, a faint buzzing sound suddenly came from ahead, and Sunday made a "humming" warning sound.

When the camera zoomed in, several giant bees, each the size of an egg, were seen flying towards them.

Upon seeing the giant, brownish-yellow bees, netizens were all quite astonished.
"Holy crap! How can a bee grow so big?"

"Isn't this bee a bit too big?"

"This is not a bee, it's a wasp. Bees and wasps are from different families and are completely different."

Wasps are highly aggressive, have more potent venom, and are omnivorous, even eating bees and insects; they are far more formidable than bees.

"Speaking of size, there should be wasps of similar size, such as the golden-ringed wasp, whose queen can be more than six centimeters long."

"You can't judge based on appearance alone. Who knows if this thing is related to wasps? If Qi Shen said it was a mosquito, I would believe him."

"Here it comes, Qi Shen is starting his science lesson."

"Damn! The first step in popularizing science is to take action, right?"

……

On the scene, Qi Xuan had already begun fighting.

The giant bee flew in mid-air, out of reach of Sunday, but Qi Xuan did not get off it and remained sitting steadily.

He then took out a spear made of iron-core wood that was nearly two meters long.

Aiming at the giant bee that swooped down, he picked up his spear and thrust it out with lightning speed.

Almost as soon as a shadow flashed by, the giant bees that were flying in the air seemed to lose power and fell to the ground one after another.

"Damn, this spear is really useful."

"He's becoming more and more like a pig rider."

Qi Xuan felt somewhat helpless, but decided to proceed with the decision based on what he had been told.

After killing the giant bee in front of him, he didn't go down. He poked the giant bee on the ground with his spear and said to the camera:

"These tiny insects that have appeared in front of us are called silver-winged wasps. Don't underestimate them because of their small size; they are extremely deadly."

The silver-winged wasp boasts three attack methods. The first is the stinger at its tail, which, with the help of high-speed flight, can easily pierce through steel.

Secondly, there's the venom inside the body. Even a tiny wound can cause it to be secreted, and even a ferocious beast can't withstand a group of them attacking it.

As for the third point, which is also the most important, once silver-winged wasps realize that they cannot avoid death, they will rush towards their enemies and self-destruct.

This is far more terrifying than any stinging venom, so if you encounter a silver-winged wasp in the wild and don't have proper defenses, you should run as far away as possible.

"In addition, the appearance of silver-winged wasps also means opportunities."

"Although they are called silver-winged wasps, they have some similarities with bees, such as liking to store nectar in their hives."

Most importantly, they store nectar harvested from precious medicinal plants, thus possessing extremely high value.

Consuming silver-winged goat honey can strengthen the body, significantly improve physical fitness, extend lifespan to some extent, and even provide certain antitoxic effects, resisting or even reducing most dangerous toxins.

Upon hearing this, netizens' eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"Holy crap! It's good for your health!"

"Isn't the most important thing to extend lifespan?"

"Indeed, wouldn't those wealthy politicians who don't have much time left go crazy on the spot if they heard this?"

"There is nothing more heartbreaking than this: you know there is something that can save you, but you can't get it. You just can't get it."

"Damn it, stop talking, or I'll be so jealous I'll break out of my body! The floating continent is such a huge treasure trove, and he's all alone! What's the difference between him and a rice weevil falling into a rice jar?! Aaaaaaah!"

"Damn it, if we can't get to the floating continent, can't we at least get to the mainland islands? Those damn exploration teams, at least give us some steam!"

"Even an exploration team might not encounter a silver-winged wasp."

……

Perhaps because so many people were talking about it, as soon as the words were spoken, new light screens appeared in the air.

On the light screen, there was a group of exploration team members dressed in special operations uniforms.

At this moment, they were lying in ambush in the forest, watching intently a huge beehive above the slope, with silver-winged wasps flying around it.

Upon seeing this, the Italian representative at the temporary camp couldn't help but slam his fist on the table and stand up in anger.

"Has our chance finally fallen into our laps?!"

Watching the excited and agitated Italian representative, someone in the corner let out a cold laugh:
"Isn't this just another addition to the death list?"

The Italian representative's face immediately stiffened, and he quickly made a phone call:

"Quickly! Contact the exploration team and inform them of the Silverwing Wasp!"

Unfortunately, after working for quite a while, he still couldn't get in touch with them, and in the end, he could only watch helplessly as the exploration team on the light screen launched their operation.

Although they were called an Italian exploration team, they didn't actually stay anywhere.

Realizing the value of the hive and the danger posed by the silver-winged wasps, they immediately covered themselves with a large amount of camouflage materials such as vines and brambles, wrapping themselves up tightly to prevent being stung.

They then split into two teams, each going around to the opposite side.

One team immediately opened fire on the swarm of bees on the mountain.

Amidst the deafening explosion, many silver-winged wasps were killed instantly. The remaining silver-winged wasps sensed the enemy, and apart from a few who stayed behind to guard the hive, the rest all rushed toward the exploration team that had launched the attack.

"Da da da!"

"Da da da!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Amidst the dense flames, many silver-winged wasps were instantly blasted to pieces, but the survivors charged forward with even greater ferocity, reaching us in the blink of an eye.

"do not be afraid!"

"As long as you don't get stung, you'll be fine!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a half-crippled silver-winged wasp swarmed up to him and exploded on the spot.

Amidst the crisp crackling sound, countless drops of liquid splattered like rain, immediately eliciting screams upon landing on the body. The liquid was extremely corrosive, instantly dissolving flesh and blood, even exposing the bones.

This horrific scene immediately triggered widespread panic.

If they had been stabbed to death on the spot, that would have been one thing, but the gruesome sight of exposed bones, coupled with the agonizing screams and the overwhelming swarm of bees, instantly shattered everyone's psychological defenses.

The group of exploration team members immediately began to flee.

But it quickly became deathly silent under the pursuit of the swarm of bees.

On the other side of the hillside, having witnessed the complete annihilation of their teammates, the remaining team members felt immense fear as they faced the beehive so close at hand.

They abandoned all seizing the loot and immediately began to retreat.

Unfortunately, they had only retreated a hundred meters when they were still spotted by the swarm of bees. Without saying a word, they fled frantically into the distance.

Seeing Italy's crushing defeat, netizens all felt extremely sorry:

"Hey, almost there."

"We were so close to getting the beehive, but instead..."

"There's nothing we can do about it. It's all due to a lack of information. Who would have thought that the Silverwing Wasp would self-destruct, and with such destructive power?"

"As expected, none of these precious medicines are easy to obtain."

"If it could be obtained so easily, could it still be considered a precious medicine?"

"That makes sense. Rare treasures are always accompanied by danger. Otherwise, if they were simply left in the wild, they would have been eaten by wild beasts long ago, and there would be no chance for human exploration teams to find them."

"Despite being equipped with all sorts of advanced gear and armed to the teeth, these exploration team members gave me the feeling of ancient people struggling to survive in the wilderness. This is just too outrageous."

"Calm down. We haven't even deployed our heavy weapons yet. Let's gather intelligence first. When the next exploration team arrives on the island, it will probably be time to completely wipe out those beasts."

"Compared to this, Qi Shen, who has neither weapons nor equipment, is truly outrageous. The more I think about it, the more outrageous it seems. Is martial arts really that powerful?"

"Don't even mention it. Our martial arts school gets inquiries about Gale Palm and Sky-Splitting Kick every day, but damn it, we teach Sanda (Chinese kickboxing), what do we know about martial arts?"

"You guys are alright, but I'm a magician. Now, every time I appear on stage, the audience calls me 'Magician'! I can't wear it, I really can't wear it at all! Tomorrow I'm going to switch careers and sell pancakes!"

"Dude, will eating your pancake allow me to travel through mountains?"

"Aaaaaaah, it's still chasing me!!!"

……

On the other side, Qi Xuan, who was already close to the hive, continued his explanation:

"If you encounter a swarm of silverwing wasps in the wild and want to harvest honey from their hive, there are many ways to do so."

"Let's leave aside the methods that are difficult for you to implement for now and start with a few easier ones."

"For example, you can find a red-haired square-eared bear. It is naturally thick-skinned and immune to the venom of silver-winged bees. When it sees a silver-winged bee swarm, it will immediately go over and take the beehive."

"Just wait for the red-haired, square-eared bear to take the beehive away, then you can snatch it back from it. See? It's that simple!"

"Of course, if you think you can't beat the red-haired square-eared bear, or if you can't find it, then you can find a few four-winged gray-striped pythons. The mucus they spit out can not only firmly stick the silver-winged wasps to the ground, but also stun them."

Basically, once the four-winged gray-striped python has knocked out all the silver-winged wasps, you can go over and take down the beehive.

"If you really don't want to see monsters fighting each other and want to take down the hive by your own strength, I admire your courage and will offer you a new and better idea. In the forest you will see these grayish-brown stinky feather mushrooms, which look like clumps of feathers and constantly emit a foul odor."

Even silver-winged wasps find this smell extremely repulsive and try to avoid getting close to it.

You can smear the juice of this stinky feather mushroom on your body before going in to harvest the beehives.

One thing to note is that the stinky mushroom will smell equally bad on everyone. If you apply its juice to your body, be careful not to faint from the stench.

Moreover, the smell will gradually dissipate over time, so you must act quickly.

Also, avoid applying it multiple times, otherwise the flavor may become so strong that it will be impossible to wash off.

After Qi Xuan finished speaking, he took out the beast-repelling powder again and continued:
"However, I have some homemade beast-repelling powder here, so we don't need the Stinky Feather Mushroom. Let's try it first."

As he spoke, he sprinkled the beast-repelling powder on himself and then applied a lot to Sunday, which he was trying to get away from.

After it was wiped clean, the whole pig became very uncomfortable on Sunday, and wanted to roll on the ground to clean it up.

But when Qi Xuan pointed to the beehive in the distance, his greedy appetite finally overcame the tingling and itching all over his body.

It shook its body as it charged forward, carrying Qi Xuan with it.

Sensing the approaching intruders, the silver-winged wasps on the perimeter immediately rushed towards them.

But halfway through their charge, the silver-winged wasps, which had been charging at full speed, suddenly came to an abrupt halt, spinning around in the air.

She looked disgusted, as if she wanted to attack Qi Xuan but was afraid of getting dirty herself.

Seeing this, netizens were all stunned:

"Damn, this beast-repelling powder is incredibly effective!"

"It's unimaginable that those are the mad bees capable of wiping out a group of human elites in an instant!"

"Officials from various countries: How much does the beast-repelling powder cost? I'll buy it! I'll buy it, okay?!"

"Buying is not as good as making it, Qi Shen, just tell me the recipe!"

"Hilarious! It's like you can concoct a recipe just because someone tells you the ingredients?"

"That's true. Many of the materials are probably not available here. Instead of using beast-repelling powder, we might as well get some stinky feather mushrooms."

"Hey, look, there's more to the story with the exploration team on the island."

……

There was indeed a follow-up.

The Italian remnants fled in haste, suffering heavy losses, but eventually joined up with the Russian exploration team.

After shooting and killing dozens of silver-winged wasps that came to hunt them down, and learning of Italy's crushing defeat and the existence of the hive, the leader, Captain Big Hair, hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to approach.

Fortunately, someone in the team managed to make a satellite phone call. After some consultation, the Russian side gathered the remaining Italian soldiers and immediately began searching the jungle. Before long, they actually found the Stinking Feather Mushroom.

However, after finding the Stinky Feather Mushroom, even though they were wearing gas masks, several team members who got close to it almost vomited on the spot.

However, remembering the orders from above, the group of Mao soldiers had no choice but to bite the bullet and pick the stinky mushrooms, wrap them up in layers, and drag them along the road.

Upon arriving at the gathering place of the silver-winged wasps and seeing the huge beehive in the distance, the team members immediately sprang into action.

After a rigorous selection process, ten team members who lost the dice game covered their faces with red masks, put on gas masks, and smeared their bodies with the juice of the stinky mushroom.

Shortly after the ointment was applied, four team members vomited uncontrollably and lost their ability to move.

There was no other way but to roll the dice again to fill in the missing person.

By the time the ten-person team was selected, another ten people were already lying on the ground.

It left netizens speechless.

Then, the team members, who had been coated with the juice, began to tentatively move upwards.

Just as Qi Xuan had said, the juice of the Stinky Feather Mushroom had equal lethality.

Once the silver-winged wasps flew close, they dared not approach any further to attack, for fear of getting stones on their bodies.

Seeing this, everyone stopped delaying and quickly began to sprint upwards, since the smell of the Stinking Mushroom was constantly evaporating and had a time limit.

They had to remove the beehive and take it away before the deadline.

The group of Russians ran very fast and soon reached the hive.

Seeing the countless silver-winged wasps flitting about on the hive,

Noticing that their own scent had become much fainter, the group dared not hesitate for a moment.

Ten men surrounded the enormous beehive, which was nearly two meters high, their muscles bulging and veins bulging, and they exerted their strength.

"rise!"

The honeycomb remained completely still.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

Is this really a beehive?
Even a block of iron of the same volume wouldn't weigh this much!
"Oh no! The smell is getting too strong!"

The team member who had just been stung by a silver-winged wasp immediately spoke up to warn others.

As soon as he finished speaking, he vomited blood and died on the spot from poisoning.

Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed.

Luckily, they brought some stinky mushrooms with them.

At this point, they no longer cared about marinating and started smearing the marinade all over their bodies.

As the smell intensified again, three more team members vomited uncontrollably on the spot, and were nearly exhausted afterward.

Each application of this juice brings a new wave of stimulation.

No one can say for sure how many rounds they can last.

At that moment, the group tried to lift the beehive again.

But even ten people couldn't lift it, let alone six.

With no other option, they had to stick a knife into the hive and try to cut off the honeycomb.

What's truly disheartening is that even the inner nest combs, no matter how hard they try, are impossible to cut through.

Seeing that the smell on their bodies was about to disappear again, they had no choice but to continue applying the juice.

This time, two more have fallen.

The remaining four people couldn't care less about collecting honey and quickly led their companions down the mountain.

The first attempt at honey collection ended in failure.

After summarizing their experiences, a second batch quickly took to the field.

However, the second batch still faced great difficulties, because even without cutting the honeycomb, the honey was too viscous to be extracted.

However, there were still some gains in the end.

On the other hand, Qi Xuan easily arrived at the beehive with the help of the beast-repelling powder.

Numerous silver-winged wasps buzzed around, but dared not approach or return to their hive.

Faced with a heavy beehive that even ten people could hardly budge, he lifted it with one hand, first knocking on the hive to drive away all the remaining silver-winged wasps inside.

He then used his swift palm to slap the honeycomb, making it spin rapidly in place. Using a centrifugal technique, he flung all the sticky honey from the honeycomb into his personal space and stored it away.

He didn't waste the rest, eating it on the spot.

After eating a piece of honeycomb, he threw it to Sunday.

On Sunday, they ate with great relish and gusto.

I saw Sunday devour the honeycomb whole, splattering honey everywhere.

Then they saw groups of Da Mao coming down the mountain, half-dead, carrying only a little bit of honey.

Netizens couldn't hold back anymore:
"There's no harm in comparison, but the difference is just too big!"

"Damn it, I can't move the beehive even if it's right in front of me. This is so frustrating."

"They're eating honey on one side and stones on the other. I won't say who's eating the stones."

"That bastard on Sunday, he spilled more than Da Mao collected!"

"Please, please let me go upstairs. I'll even eat what's leftovers from Sunday!"

"Humans are worse than pigs! Humans are worse than pigs!!"

……

Netizens were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

The representatives from various countries in the joint camp were extremely envious.

Qi Xuan can eat honey that others can't, so they can accept it.

But how did Da Mao manage to get honey?

Even just getting a tiny bit made the representatives from various countries' teeth ache.

Damn it!

How could these guys be the first to take the lead?!
Representatives from Britain and other countries were extremely indignant, but they still had to smile and offer their congratulations, and discuss matters related to honey trade.

Da Mao, beaming with joy, couldn't stop smiling as he faced the congratulations from all around.

at the same time.

Qi Xuan, who was on the hillside, picked another piece of nest.

Before he could even eat, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

There seems to be something behind this comb?
