28: Honey was discovered

At this moment, Lu Fan was exploring in the wilderness. He used the axe in his hand to clear a path, and no blade of grass remained standing where he passed.

"I see you all as nothing more than heads on a pike." Lu Fan twirled the axe, performing an axe flourish, narrowly avoiding cutting himself.

In the livestream room.

"How nostalgic. I remember as a child, I'd run around with a stick, pretending to be a swordsman."

"Back then, with just a stick in my hand, no rapeseed flower within ten miles was a match for me."

"I recall always wanting to grow up when I was little. Now that I'm grown, I wish I could go back to being a child."

As he walked, Lu Fan arrived at a valley.

Looking at the scenery before him, Lu Fan couldn't help but be amazed.

Both sides of the valley were covered in various colorful flowers, looking like a vibrant ocean at a glance.

"Sigh, I should have built the Shelter here. Just this scenery alone puts one in a good mood."

However, despite what he said, Lu Fan had no immediate plans to relocate the Shelter; it would be a huge undertaking.

"Wow! The scenery here is truly beautiful. I've only seen such a scene in games."

"What game are you playing upstairs? Recommend it."

"I know, I've played it. It's called 'Naruto's Holiday.'"

"What the hell, can that even be said?"

Just as Lu Fan was wandering through the sea of flowers.

[There is a beehive on the rock wall to your right.]

Lu Fan turned his head and, sure enough, about 100 meters away on a rock wall, there was a huge beehive.

"Wow, what a huge beehive! There must be a lot of honey inside." Lu Fan couldn't help but lick his lips.

Then, Lu Fan approached the beehive with his equipment, stopping about ten meters away.

"Buzz buzz buzz~ buzz~~" Dense swarms of bees flew around the beehive.

"Damn, I'm getting goosebumps. There are too many."

"I can't stand it, I can't stand it. My trypophobia is acting up."

"Indeed, Great God Lu Fan has better luck, finding good things again."

"But how do you harvest this?"

"I know! You can steal the honey at lightning speed before the bees react, making them confused."

At this time, Zhao Hangjun also solemnly explained: "If stung by a bee, the stung area will immediately show allergic symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, and itching.

In severe cases, it can lead to suppuration, necrosis, and the formation of ulcers of different sizes.

And without proper treatment in the wilderness, there's even a risk of infection, leading to symptoms like redness, fever, and pus."

Lu Fan was also pondering how to safely get the honey. Since he encountered it, he was definitely going to take some honey with him.

Suddenly, he thought of a method—smoking!

He took out a bamboo tube tucked into his waist, which contained a fire source.

Bees are very sensitive to smoke. When exposed to smoke, they feel fear and produce a stress response.

This reaction can cause bees to abandon their nest and prepare to flee, and when fleeing, they will absorb enough honey to take with them.

And absorbing honey causes the bee's abdomen to swell, making it difficult for the stinger to emerge, so they won't attack people.

Lu Fan quickly found some dry grass and branches, piled them below the beehive, and lit a fire.

Smoke slowly rose, gradually spreading around the beehive.

As expected, the smoking method was highly effective. The bees quickly fled the hive, while some bees remained motionless on the beehive.

Lu Fan seized the opportunity to pull out his dagger and carefully cut off a piece of the beehive. Honey immediately flowed out, golden and translucent, emitting an enticing aroma.

The livestream room immediately erupted.

"He got the honey! So amazing!"

"This honey looks so delicious, I want to taste some."

After cutting off about a third of the honey, Lu Fan put it into a bamboo tube he had prepared earlier.

He didn't plan to cut it all, leaving most of it so as not to affect the bees' survival.

[Wilderness Survival Announcement]

[Huaguo Contestant Lu Fan triggered ten thousand times rebate]

[Complete Beehive * 10000]

Immediately after, 10,000 beehives appeared in the wilderness across various regions of Huaguo, with each area receiving some, truly spreading the bounty.

With a full harvest on his back, Lu Fan embarked on his journey home, his heart filled with anticipation for the honey delicacies he was about to make.

Because he had explored quite far today, it was already dark by the time he returned to the Shelter.

"Awoo, awoo awoo awoo~"

Suddenly, faint sounds came from the forest.

Lu Fan instantly became vigilant.

The livestream room also exploded.

"What's that sound? It's too creepy in the middle of the night."

"It sounds like a dog."

"It should be a wolf, the sound is so clear."

"Hey, distinguishing between a wolf and a dog isn't hard. Let me teach you.

To tell a wolf from a dog, look at the paw pads: soft pads are a wolf, hardened (Japan) are a dog.

Look at the nose: moist texture is a wolf, hardened (Japan) is a dog.

Observe the ears: pointed and agile are a wolf, droopy and hardened (Japan) are a dog."

"Upstairs, truly worthy of being the top scholar of our Great Qing."

[A pack of wolves passed ten kilometers away and has already left.]

Seeing the heavenly dao prompt sound, Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly closed the camp's fence gate.

It was good that they had left. As of now, if he faced a wolf pack, he didn't have any particularly good countermeasures.

After calming down, Lu Fan decided to make a delicious meal to comfort himself.

So, tonight's main course was Secret Recipe Roasted Lamb Leg.

He first cleaned the lamb leg, then made a few incisions with his dagger to help it absorb the flavors.

Then, he found some wild ginger, Wild Green Onion, and herbs, chopped them, and mixed them with honey to make a marinade.

After evenly spreading the marinade on the lamb leg, Lu Fan gave it a full massage, allowing the lamb leg to fully absorb the flavors.

"Great God Lu Fan's technique is so skilled."

"Great God Lu Fan, massage me too!!"

"Upstairs, Great God Lu Fan is mine, don't even think about it."

After marinating the lamb leg, Lu Fan found some hot coals and built a simple grill. He placed the lamb leg on the grill and slowly roasted it over the fire.

As the temperature rose, the honey on the surface of the lamb leg began to caramelize, emitting an enticing aroma.

Lu Fan continuously turned the lamb leg to ensure even heating, while also pouring the rendered fat and honey juice over it with a wooden spoon to enhance the flavor.

"The honey-glazed roasted lamb leg Lu Fan made looks so good, I'm drooling."

"This dish looks so delicious, I want to try some too."

Wang Tao also couldn't help but swallow, saying, "Lu Fan's cooking is getting better and better; every dish is a pleasant surprise."
