Ranch Story: Start Over

Thomas just waved casually without saying a word, but it was obvious that the truth would only be revealed after he returned safely.

So, the three of them got into the pickup truck together. Feng Ling was in charge of driving, sitting in the main driver's seat, while Dimit and Jin Jier sat in the back seat.

They sped along, experiencing firsthand the incredibly powerful shock-absorbing effect that Thomas had described.

When the vehicle reached the entrance of Nanshan Mountain, Feng Ling gradually slowed down the speed, carefully drove the magic pickup truck, and slowly drove into the mountains and forests.

"The performance of this Magic Pickup is simply outstanding! Ginger, do you know how much money Uncle Thomas spent on modifying it?"

Feng Ling asked in amazement.

Jin Jier shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the exact number:

"But as far as I know, this Magic Pickup Truck was the champion of all the Magic Motorcycle Rallies when Portia was here. Uncle Thomas was still very young at that time and had never met an opponent!"

Feng Ling was shocked when he heard this: "Okay, just pretend I never asked this question..."

At this moment, he no longer had the thought of asking further questions. After all, a magic motorcycle like this that could participate in competitions had already exceeded the scope of conventional cognition, and its value could no longer be measured by ordinary standards.

Moreover, along the way, whether facing extremely tricky bends, muddy roads, or rugged mountain roads full of rocks and other complex road conditions, this car can move forward smoothly without any bumps. It seems that it is born to adapt to all kinds of difficulties and obstacles with ease.

"Brother Feng, we're here. The first nest is here."

Dimitri looked around and his eyes fell on a place that couldn't be more familiar - the location of the first beehive.

Following the direction of Dimit's finger, Feng Ling's sight was attracted by an extremely large beehive. The whole beehive was bright red, like a burning flame hanging in the air.

"This is the fire bee from the colorful bee group! They have a strong fire attribute and can easily enter the scorching hot volcanic magma area.

Because of this, they are able to collect the rare nectar of the Vulcan flower and make the extremely precious Vulcan honey.

Jinjier stared at the huge beehive in the distance and explained it to Feng Ling based on his profound knowledge.

After listening to Jin Jier's introduction, Feng Ling became more and more interested in these magical colorful bees. He couldn't wait to see these rare colorful bees with his own eyes.

"Okay, Brother Feng, let's not waste time and go straight to the hive of the colorful bee queen! As long as we can deal with the queen, these seven hives won't be a problem. I know that place very well!"

Dimitri volunteered to act as a guide, and everyone set off in a hurry under Dimitri's leadership.

Along the way, Feng Ling followed Dimit's instructions, turning left and right, and passed by six other beehives of different styles. Every time he passed a beehive, Feng Ling would observe it carefully, secretly marveling at the ingenuity of nature and the architectural talent of the colorful bees.

Finally, they arrived at their destination, a cave hidden in the mountain wall. Dimiter pointed at the cave and shouted:

"That's it, Brother Feng. The Queen Bee lives here. But be careful, the bees here are much more powerful than the ones we just encountered!"

Dimit and Ginger were both wearing armor, with a red halo covering their entire bodies, making them look airtight yet light and agile, without the bulkiness of wearing armor at all.

"By the way, how are you feeling? Are you two okay with the action?"

"It's okay, Brother Feng, don't worry about us. After putting on this armor, I found that my strength has become stronger."

"Yes, Brother Feng, look!"

Dimitri tried several difficult moves and completed them all easily without any difficulty.

"This is just like a battle armor. Uncle Thomas has too many treasures."

Feng Ling could only complain a few words in his heart. Since the two girls were fine, the next thing was to protect his own safety.

After Feng Ling specially hid this cool red pickup truck in the bushes, Dimitri and Ginger had already been observing it beside the cave for a long time.

"How is it? Is there anything unusual?"

Dimitri was the first to speak:

"It's a little different from before, Brother Feng. The two of us can turn on the stealth function and stick to the wall to get in. It's a camouflage technique. What will you do?"

"Ah?! This armor of yours has a stealth function, can you please not be so outrageous!"

Feng Ling suddenly felt a headache. Thomas definitely did it on purpose.

Ahhh! I'm so angry! He must have done this on purpose!

When approaching the colorful bee cave to search for the hive of the colorful bee queen, the preparation that every hunter looking for colorful bees must go through is to disguise themselves. Dimiter and Ginger can use the functions of their armor to camouflage themselves so as not to be discovered by the patrolling bees, while Feng Ling is reduced to the miserable physical camouflage.

"What should I do, Brother Feng?"

Feng Ling closed his eyes in pain. He had no other choice but to use a stupid method, which was also a bad idea.

"Wait for me a moment, Uncle Thomas, you've screwed me over!"

As if guessing what Feng Ling was going to do, Jin Jier apologized like a mosquito:

"Brother Feng, I'm really sorry to bother you. It's all because of me that you ended up like this."

"Huh? It's okay, just look at me more quickly, or you won't be able to see your handsome brother Feng anymore."

......

Ten minutes later, Jinjier and Dimit heard Feng Ling's deliberately lowered voice coming from behind them.

"Ginger, Dimitri, here I come."

Feng Ling, who looked like an African black man, was naked in his last pair of underwear. His whole body was covered with swamp mud. A foul smell of mud came from the air. Feng Ling's face was now covered with charcoal ash, and his whole body had turned black.

Looking at Feng Ling's smile with his white teeth.

"Brother Feng, you're going to make me die of laughter."

Dimitri was the first one who couldn't help himself, and Ginger also ended up covering his mouth and chuckling.

“Go away, really, my heart is hurt, you must make it up to me later.

Ginger, this is all I need, please help me check it again, we will be in complete darkness when we enter the cave."

Feng Ling also took the risk and was almost naked. Although he couldn't see Jin Jier's expression clearly, it was obvious from his actions that he was very shy.

As for the little guy Dimitri, since they have become more familiar with each other, Feng Ling now treats Dimitri as a little sister.

"No problem!"

"OK, let's go!"

Feng Ling, Dimitri and Jin Jier crouched at the entrance of the colorful bee cave. According to the results of previous observations, they entered the cave for one minute after the patrol bees appeared three times.

"Let's go, right now. There's a one-minute interval between their shift changes. Let's go in quickly."

The three of them quickly got into the pitch-dark colorful bee cave.

Because he was walking close to the wall, Feng Ling's whole body was covered with black mud. As long as he didn't open his mouth and close his eyes, except for the strong smell, everything else was hidden well.

Strangely enough, these sludges were not chosen randomly. These were the sludges used by the colorful bee colonies to build infrastructure. Feng Ling followed the worker bees in the colorful bee caves to discover the swamp. Looking at these hardworking worker bees, Feng Ling admired them from the bottom of his heart.

Under normal circumstances, they are worker bees collecting honey, but once resources become scarce or they encounter an attack from a powerful enemy, these worker bees will volunteer to become front-line soldiers, putting aside their previous obsession with cleanliness and starting to do the dirtiest and smelliest infrastructure work.

Now Feng Ling took advantage of the colorful bees and covered himself with mud to disguise himself and drilled in. But if he wants to go deeper, Feng Ling must find a suitable place to remove the mud on his body. Not only does he have to clean his whole body, but he also has to change back to normal taste or fragrance. It is really too difficult.

Who made the colorful queen bee so obsessed with mysophobia?

"Did they also carve the patterns on these walls?"

Feng Ling moved his body carefully, checking the rock wall in the dim light of the cave. Although there was a line of worker bees busy building infrastructure, Feng Ling still didn't know what they were preparing to defend against, so he could only shift his attention to the murals on the rock wall of the cave.

"It's a picture of their battle, Brother Feng, can you understand it?"

"It's OK. It seems to be very tragic."

Feng Ling read it from beginning to end, and answered after he roughly understood it.

"Dimitri, I'm glad you prepared, otherwise I really don't know where to find something suitable to hide myself."

"Yeah, it's good that it works, but I have to smear you with this dirty and smelly mud. It's so strange. It's been half a year since I last came here, and they are still in a state of combat readiness. What happened to them?"

"They have been building fortifications for half a year. What kind of creatures can make them build fortifications to resist as if they were facing a formidable enemy?"
