Chapter 280: 280: Daxiong Makes a Dazzling Appearance_1 Chapter 280: 280: Daxiong Makes a Dazzling Appearance_1 Getting stung by a hornet was no small matter, but no matter how Song Tan tried to frighten her, Qiaoqiao stubbornly insisted on holding her ground, determined to protect her precious bee babies!

Song Tan: …

Alright then, as your sister, am I not exerting enough authority for you, Song Qiaoqiao, to tremble before me now?!

Without another word, she grabbed Qiaoqiao by the collar and forcefully dragged him back.

In her grip, the 1.8-meter-tall Qiaoqiao was like a turtle flipped on its shell, flailing helplessly.

Back at home, he was still protesting when Song Tan gave him a fierce glare: “Listen to me, behave yourself!”

“What’s going on, what’s going on?”

Qiaoqiao is such a good boy, why so fierce?

Once Song Tan explained the situation on the mountain to everyone, Song Youde was the first to get anxious:

“This foolish child! You can’t mess with a swarm of hornets, taking a sting or two to learn your lesson is one thing, but if the whole nest swarms you, it can be serious enough to kill you… those things are poisonous!”

With that, everyone in the yard kept a worried eye on Qiaoqiao.

Qiaoqiao burst into tears: “If I don’t protect my bees, what will become of them?”

He then looked at Song Tan with puppy dog eyes: “Sister, they really work so hard and diligently to make honey, wuu wuu wuu…”

Song Tan couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

“Didn’t I tell you? I’ll go check on them for you!”

But Qiaoqiao didn’t trust her on this one: “But sister, you’re not on the mountain right now, what if the hornets go there…”

“How could they so fast? In such a short time?”

Though from her home it took a few minutes to walk to Grandpa’s house, things couldn’t be that tight, could they?

Herself still in the Qi training phase and struggling to extend her spiritual consciousness, she could only rely on slightly heightened senses and truly had no idea what the situation was like back on the mountain.

Unable to stand Qiaoqiao’s pleading look any longer, she reluctantly rubbed her temple:

“Fine fine, I’m going now!”

She would handle it better alone.

However, Song Tan was full of confidence, and Qiaoqiao now had full confidence in his sister as well, but the rest of Old Song’s family was far from convinced:

“What nonsense are you talking about?!”

“If Qiaoqiao’s not going, you shouldn’t mess with the hornets either. We’ll move the beehives later and take good care of them.”

Even professionals who handle hornets wear thick clothing, completely covered, and you two don’t even know where the hornets’ nest is, and you’re so bold to take charge?

Song Tan: … Misstep.

But she was quick-witted and now just pretended to have a plan, winking at everyone and whispering to keep it from Qiaoqiao: “I’m just going up the mountain to have a look and find a good spot, don’t tell Qiaoqiao.”

In reality, moving the beehives wasn’t so straightforward as the bees would get lost, and it might cause them to abandon their home.

Besides, the mountain was only so big, and hornets’ flying and scouting abilities were strong; moving homes would only be a temporary fix, not a solution.

But this reasoning apparently succeeded in persuading the family.

Now everyone started to coax Qiaoqiao, and then watched Song Tan go up the mountain with full confidence.

Zhang Yanping even asked: “Shall I accompany you?” He wanted to witness the bee battle too.

“No need,” Song Tan looked him in the eyes:

“Brother Yanping, even when you carry vegetables, you’re not as strong as me, so don’t slow me down.”

What, what hurtful words!

The equally robust Zhang Yanping clutched his chest, feeling as if his dignity had been challenged.

The most terrifying thing was that this was actually true!

He really wasn’t as strong as Song Tan, nor could he run as fast as her.

At this moment, he could only sulkily return to squatting in front of the computer, deciding to focus solely on taking care of the online store.

…

However, at this time.

In the hills behind the house, a great battle was brewing.

The bodies of bees and wasps lay on the ground, and a group of large ants had already rushed over, now lining up in a swarm to lift each corpse.

It seemed the following period would be one of abundance.

Just then, a frightening buzzing noise started to fill the air, as one after another, large wasps began to fly in from the jungle.

They gathered in greater numbers, now circling mid-air and darting into the trees and bushes, quickly locating the five neatly arranged beehives.

The bees clearly became agitated, buzzing out of the hives as the worker bees flew around in panic.

Against such natural enemies, their options were severely limited; they could handle one or two wasps with their overpower-in-numbers envelopment strategy, but once there were more, envelopment was not enough as the wasps’ sharp jaws would simply snap them in half!

For a moment, the air was filled with a terrifying buzzing.

From afar, Big White peered out from the bushes, letting out a “gack” noise; realizing the commotion was coming from something airborne, it stopped paying attention–

That was beyond its jurisdiction; alas, with those wings, it couldn’t fly or take charge.

Moreover, the boss had gone to patrol the hills behind the house, and it needed to keep watch over the pigs.

Just then, a fat little fellow came tumbling over from a distance, moving in an irregular, bobbing path like a little cannonball!

Upon closer inspection, wasn’t that the hardworking Daxiong!

Its hind legs were equipped with thick, fluffy baskets of light yellow pollen, showing that it had been extremely industrious that day; but as much effort as it put in, its energy expenditure was just as great.

The honey made from the pollen in those two baskets on its legs was barely enough for its own consumption, truly of little use to anyone else.

Now, tumbling and flying back with it were its 50 offspring that had hatched in the spring.

After more than two months, the young wasps could now hold their own; when it came to work efficiency, they even had a slight edge over Daxiong due to their weight advantage!

Of course, this edge was still quite limited because each of these bear wasps was so round and plump that the flowers they landed on drooped heavily, making their gathering work much more difficult and their reactions a bit slower than the bees’.

Ever since they moved, these 50 bear wasps lived alone in a luxurious beehive, set far apart from the bees’ homes.

The two groups didn’t interfere with each other, and daily life was relatively harmonious.

Although Daxiong didn’t want to admit it, sometimes it would perch at the entrance of the hive, waiting for the other bees to feed it some honey.

As for why it didn’t just go in…

Don’t ask; the entrance was too small and it could easily get stuck.

At this moment, the cluster of bear wasps hung confusedly in mid-air. Daxiong’s body suddenly plummeted downward but then, barely managing to stay afloat by desperately flapping its small wings, it didn’t crash to the ground.

After struggling for a while, it suddenly discerned that something about the scent in the air was off!

Upon further observation–

Whoa!

A swarm of wasps!

Goodness, the neighbor bees were tightly guarding their honey; even eating was a struggle for it, and now this swarm of wasps had come along, presumably to rob their provisions?

How could it tolerate this?!

Among the group of large wasps, there were a few particularly burly individuals, which Daxiong quickly identified and then, with a swift flap of its wings, charged straight at them!
