N-M Chapter 11 The Swarm Attack
Chapter 11 The Swarm Attack
Early the next morning, on the road leading up the mountain from the village entrance...
"Hey, Auntie, what are you doing here? Where's Uncle?"
Sun Ran walked to the intersection and was somewhat surprised to see his third aunt, Liu Huiying, waiting there.
Normally it wouldn't be a big deal, but this time he and his uncle made a bet in front of many people in the village.
Is it an admission of defeat that they're not coming?
"Don't mention him, it makes me angry!"
Hearing his question, Liu Huiying rolled her eyes: "You clearly twisted your back, but you still insist on showing off!"
"I barely managed to stay in bed yesterday, and today I can't even get out of bed!"
"what?"
Sun Ran was shocked: "Is it that serious? How is my uncle now? Should we take him to the hospital?"
"No need, this isn't the first time. Just put on a plaster and rest for a few days, and it'll be fine..."
Liu Huiying waved her hand dismissively and said.
Just as she was saying these words, several more lines of text appeared in front of Sun Ran's eyes.
[Current mission has been changed: Rescue the Sect Leader]
After the competition began, you and the sect leader engaged in a fierce battle, with heavenly thunder and earthly fire fighting to a standstill.
Unexpectedly, in the heat of battle, his old wounds flared up, and you carelessly injured him severely...
Mission objective: Rescue the sect leader and restore his health.
Quest Rewards: 1 random basic spell; 500 sect contribution points;
……
Looking at the task prompt, Sun Ran didn't know what expression to make.
A fierce battle? A clash of thunder and lightning?
Several images involuntarily surfaced in his mind...
On the stage, he and his uncle, both dressed in long robes, stood on either side.
Suddenly a strong wind blew up a few fallen leaves, and the two of them simultaneously raised their hands and made hand seals, and spells were cast out one after another.
Either a fireball flies through the air, or a bolt of lightning strikes down from the sky...
Then I saw my uncle, who was fighting, suddenly frown, his breath caught in his throat, and then a bolt of lightning struck him directly...
"Cough cough~"
Sun Ran coughed twice, quickly clearing his mind of all the random thoughts.
It's all this cheat code's fault, it's made me so nervous I'm starting to have a nervous breakdown!
"In my opinion, we should still go to the hospital to get it checked out..."
"What are you going to do? He was lying on the bed last night, still yelling that he was fine. Let him suffer a bit!"
"This... Uncle is really showing off."
"Hmph, she's just too proud to admit defeat!"
"Forehead……"
Outside the woods, the aunt and nephew were ranting and raving about Sun Bolang.
It was fine at first, though.
But after talking for a while, when Liu Huiying changed the subject and started asking Sun Ran what requirements he had for his girlfriend, he was a little overwhelmed.
At first, I tried to find some excuses, such as wanting to earn money to support my family first...
But as Liu Huiying got more and more excited and started spouting vulgar and inappropriate language, he blushed and could only raise his hands in surrender.
He made up an excuse that he was busy with work, quickly parted ways with his aunt, and ran towards his own woods with his head down.
We have no choice but to run, or his third aunt will even start thinking of a name for his child!
He ran to the edge of the woods and looked back to see that his third aunt had already gone far away. He then shook his head with a wry smile and stopped.
His family's financial situation is just so-so right now, so he has no interest in going on blind dates or dating.
Besides, what if you encounter some weirdo? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?
Shaking his head, Sun Ran took out some medicated oil, applied it, and was about to go inside when he suddenly looked down and was overjoyed.
Isn't that the water bottle I threw away yesterday on the ground?
He went back to look for it last night but couldn't find it, so today he could only bring out the small water bottle that Sun An'an usually drinks from.
That's so small, you'd probably have to finish it in two gulps, let alone a whole day's work.
Thankfully, I saw it here.
He ran over excitedly, picked up the water bottle, and his face fell.
The lid is off, and the kettle is empty. It looks like I'll have to be careful with the water I drink today.
Shaking his head helplessly, he tightened the screws on the water bottle, threw it into his basket, and continued walking into the woods with his bamboo pole.
Just like yesterday, we first stirred up trouble, then cut the grass and shrubs, and finally cleaned up all the fallen leaves on the ground and piled them up.
If you encounter any cracks or crevices in the rocks, you should check them carefully to make sure there are no snakes hiding inside.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
After working for almost two hours, Sun Ran finally wiped the sweat from his brow, found a rock to sit down, and let out a long sigh of relief.
He reached into his basket and pulled out a small pink Peppa Pig water bottle, then unscrewed the lid.
Glug glug~
He finished half a pot of wine in one gulp, tightened the lid, put it in his basket, and was about to pick up the bamboo pole to continue working when he suddenly heard a buzzing sound.
"Hmm, bees?"
Sun Ran frowned, raised his hand and waved, then stepped aside and looked up at the surrounding trees.
I've been so busy chasing away snakes these past few days that I've forgotten about this.
If the two little ones get stung while cracking walnuts, it won't be pleasant for them either.
What's more, bees have pheromones on them. If that little girl An'an gets carried away and accidentally kills one, that would be quite a sight.
buzz~
While looking around for a beehive, Sun Ran also had to dodge the bee next to him.
This made him somewhat upset.
These bees seemed to be bewitched today; one wasn't enough, and soon several more appeared around us.
The constant buzzing of wings was incredibly annoying.
"Damn it, this isn't over yet!"
Sun Ran waved his hand in annoyance, wondering if he should just slap all the bees to death, when he suddenly paused.
Wait a minute, I applied Tiger Balm, which would make even centipedes avoid me. Why are these bees so arrogant?
Aren't you afraid at all when they're all around you?
He looked up and carefully examined the bees in mid-air.
Sometimes it circles, sometimes it does a figure-eight, it's like it's dancing.
hum~~
He was still pondering when he suddenly heard a low flapping sound in his ears.
A quick glance out of the corner of his eye, and a curse immediately burst out.
I rely on!
After uttering those words, he lifted his shirt and covered his head with it, then hurriedly and desperately ran away.
Not far away, a dark cloud was seen rushing towards them from mid-air.
Oh no, oh no, a swarm of bees!
I haven't even taken any action yet, can't I even think about it?
As he ran, he inwardly groaned.
If he gets stung, won't he instantly turn into a giant pig's head?
I'm afraid I'll be laughed to death by that brat An'an and her uncle.
Thinking of this, he pushed off with his feet, and his movements became even faster.
Unfortunately, he was surrounded by tall trees, so no matter how fast he ran, how could he possibly outrun a bee flying in the sky?
He had only run a few steps when he felt an itch on his back, as if something had landed on him.
Then the second, the third...
"Oh no, oh no, I'm going to get stung so badly my head will turn into a pig's head."
As Sun Ran ran hard, he secretly groaned in his heart, but as he ran, he began to feel that something was wrong.
Wait a minute, there must be dozens of bees crawling up my back, but I haven't been stung once.
With a sense of doubt, he slowly stopped and turned to look behind him.
Then, amidst the dark, heavy clouds behind them, a line of green text appeared and disappeared intermittently…
