I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 19: Hive (Part )

Zhang Chen quickly crushed the thought in his mind and muttered in his heart: "This idea is too dangerous. If it gets out, I'm afraid I will die a miserable death!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen scratched his head and looked at the two stewards who left arrogantly. There was a hint of thought in his eyes: "Raising the rent to five taels of silver a year is simply too much! Many people may not be able to sell three taels of silver for hunting in the mountains in a year. How can people survive? This is forcing the people to explode!"

If the people can’t survive, why would they care so much?

Zhang Chen was holding the Luoyang shovel, looking unhappy, and walked into the mountain with the Luoyang shovel on his shoulder.

"Damn Mr. Li, he's simply a bastard! And those two managers are so hateful! They rely on the power of their masters to act arrogantly. I really want to skin them alive." Zhang Chen was walking among the mountains carrying a Luoyang shovel. Suddenly, there was a sound of flapping wings, and then a bumblebee flew past him.

"It's a bumblebee. I'm going to find a bumblebee's hive today, and then raise an army of bumblebees. Then I'll at least be able to protect myself in the small village. Even if I really find any danger, the bumblebees can delay time for me, and I'll have time to run to the deep mountains and forests." Zhang Chen looked at the bumblebee's flight path, and followed it with an idea.

Zhang Chen roughly knew the bumblebee's nest in the mountains. After all, he had been hunting in the deep mountains and forests for many years. He knew where to see the bumblebees and had a general direction.

Zhang Chen walked five miles in the mountains when he suddenly stopped and looked towards an old pine tree that had been growing for who knows how many years.

There was no beehive on the pine tree. There was an egg-sized hole in the soil under the roots of the old pine tree, and wasps were constantly going in and out of the hole.

That’s right, the bumblebee’s nest is not built on a big tree, but in the soil.

Zhang Chen closed his eyes and activated his beast taming skill. The next moment, countless lives were projected into his mind.

"There are so many giant wasps, probably seven or eight hundred of them! This is a super large hive!" Zhang Chen sensed the densely packed wasps in the soil, a look of caution in his eyes.

Oddly enough, dragon energy was flowing in his body at this moment, and he actually felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to the bumblebee in front of him. He did not feel any fear in his heart. It was as if he had an intuition that the bumblebee would never hurt him.

At this time, a bumblebee noticed Zhang Chen's whereabouts, and buzzed out of its nest, circling around Zhang Chen but not daring to get close. Zhang Chen didn't know why, but he actually sensed a sense of kindness from the bumblebee. So Zhang Chen carefully stretched out his hand, and the bumblebee actually landed gently in Zhang Chen's hand, crawling around happily, making Zhang Chen feel itchy.

"Hey, interesting! Interesting! Quite interesting!" Zhang Chen looked at the bumblebee. The bumblebee was very big, as big as a baby's finger. It looked very intimidating. At this moment, it was lying in the palm of Zhang Chen's hand like a good baby.

"I have dragon energy, so I can get close to the beasts in the world? That's right, the dragon is the king of all beasts. Even if I only have a wisp of dragon energy, I also have the power of a dragon." Zhang Chen's mind flashed, and he gently stretched out his fingers to pinch the bumblebee, holding it in front of his eyes to examine it: "If an ordinary person is stung by a bumblebee, it will take at least seven or eight days for the swelling to go down. The bumblebee is small and fast. If you don't prepare a net tool in advance, you will have no way to defend yourself against the bumblebee."

At this time, large hornets kept flying out of the wasp's nest, and pounced on Zhang Chen like little children, crawling all over his body and playing.

"I'll go to the mountain to check the traps later. I'll get some meat to feed the bumblebees. I guarantee they'll be fat and white." Zhang Chen picked the bumblebees off one by one, but the bumblebees stayed on Zhang Chen and refused to leave. Zhang Chen could only shake his sleeves to drive them away, then turned and walked towards the traps in the mountain.

Today, the traps yielded two pheasants and one wild duck. Looking at the tied-up prey, Zhang Chen did not show much joy on his face, but instead was filled with an indescribable helplessness: "Pheasants and wild ducks are not valuable. It is wishful thinking to collect enough rent money with these small things. Unless you hunt large prey, you can sell it for a good price."

Zhang Chen carried the pheasant and the wild duck all the way to the tomb, and then looked towards the stone tablet. Sure enough, he saw that the stone tablet had more experience points falling off, but today's experience points were relatively small, with only a red light ball with '+100' written on it.

"Although it's small, it's large in number!" Zhang Chen looked at the ball of light under the stone tablet and collected the experience points without thinking.

【Name: Zhang Chen】

[Skill 1 (Level 0): ​​Light of the Righteous God (5000/)]

[Skill 2 (Ungraded): Dragon Energy (0/2000)]
【Points: 2850】

"Almost there! Almost there this time!" Zhang Chen looked at the experience points, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Today's experience points will definitely exceed three thousand, which is not far from the five thousand experience points required for upgrading.

"Interesting." Zhang Chen looked into the distance with a hint of joy in his eyes. The next moment, he was full of energy. He rolled up his sleeves and worked hard. He first killed the chickens and ducks, and used their blood to water the stone tablet. As Zhang Chen watered the stone tablet with blood, the stone tablet was like a blood-sucking sponge, absorbing all the blood directly.

"Speaking of which, could this stone tablet be a big demon? Or is the stone tablet itself a big demon? If I continue to water it like this, will the demon be released? Or will I cultivate the demon? But I really need experience points now!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself, but his hands moved quickly.

No matter what kind of monster it is, can it accumulate experience points and level up as fast as myself?

Even if it was a demon, so what? As long as it could provide him with a steady stream of experience points, Zhang Chen would dare to raise a demon.

After feeding the stone tablet, Zhang Chen looked it up and down and found no harm to it. Then he turned around with satisfaction, picked up the chisel and started the task of chiseling the frozen soil.

The chisel made a clanging sound, which made Zhang Chen's palms numb. He couldn't help but curse, "It's getting harder and harder to dig below. It's even harder than digging stone. At this rate, when will I be able to dig open that damn tomb? But the more this happens, the more it proves that this tomb is extraordinary and there are good things inside."

The cave was filled with cold air and there was a constant clanging sound. It was unknown how long it had taken before Zhang Chen dug out half a frame of soil. Then he was so cold that his body was numb, so he had to collect the soil and put it outside to dry in the sun.

[Experience value +6]
