Back to 78: My Leisurely Country Life

After breakfast, today He Qiang put on his backpack and took his equipment and went out again.

The mountains on the west side are continuous, and he has explored too few areas, as if the area in the fog of war is only slightly lit.

Today he plans to continue to stroll around.

And after yesterday's charging, the phantom of the strange stone has become more solid and has undergone a certain transformation.

He vaguely feels that his supernatural powers will probably change, and today he plans to study it carefully after entering the mountain.

After saying goodbye to his family, He Qiang walked into the mountains again.

As soon as he entered the mountain, he let go of his perception.

"The distance has increased so much?!"

Although it is impossible to estimate through reference objects this time.

But the change in perception expansion is very clear, more than five times!

This range is already very wide.

There are slopes in the mountains, and because of the terrain, a distance of fifty meters is completely different from a flat road.

A distance of fifty meters can even capture prey outside the line of sight.

Although animals are more sensitive, it does not mean that they will run away at the slightest movement.

Generally speaking, after there is movement, animals will observe first. Unless they get close to a certain range and sense enough danger, they will not run away so quickly.

At this moment, He Qiang noticed the presence of some squirrels and birds.

Compared with a range of 10 meters, 50 meters is enough to reduce the vigilance of animals.

"Forget it, there is too little meat, and it is too troublesome to catch and eat them."

Soon, He Qiang gave up the idea of catching birds and squirrels.

The meat yield of these small animals is not very good now. Squirrels can be caught in winter, and they can barely weigh nearly one pound. They are rich in fat and are not bad to eat.

Now it is summer, and after peeling and removing the internal organs, there is not much meat left, and it is too sticky to eat.

"In addition to sensing changes, there seems to be a new ability."

This time when He Qiang entered the mountain, after starting to sense, he clearly found that these flowers, plants and trees had a kind of familiarity with him, and seemed to be very much looking forward to something.

This was not the case before.

However, the reason why He Qiang has not tried to study this ability is mainly because he does not want to use it casually.

He has a hunch that if he uses this new ability, the energy accumulated by the strange stone recently may be directly exhausted.

"Why don't we just go to that linden forest and have a look?"

He Qiang thought of his previous encounter with bees.

Although he didn't know the specific effect of this new ability, he had a vague hunch that once this ability was released, it would have unspeakable benefits for these flowers, plants and trees.

During the trek, apart from some insects and small animals and birds, there was no prey worthy of He Qiang's attack.

Although there was everything to eat in the mountains, and the neighboring province even had the dietary custom of insect feasts, He Qiang still had no great interest in these high-protein delicacies.

Coming to this linden forest, He Qiang relied on his enhanced perception and finally found the beehive he had been thinking about.

"It's quite big!"

He Qiang's eyes lit up, full of honey.

Isn't the implementation goal of sustainable exhaustion of resources here?

Without mentioning other things, He Qiang swung the knife towards the hive, and then used his ability to let the branch pull out the buds wrapped around the handle.

Then he took out the kettle, drank some of it and repeated the trick.

Both tools were ready, He Qiang hid far away and started to take honey with the remote control of the branch!

This hive weighs at least dozens of pounds, built on the trunk of a thick basswood tree, and bulges up a big lump. It was densely crawling with bees, and as the branch rolled over with the hatchet, the bees were stimulated and began to get restless.

But soon, something happened that made these hardworking little bees confused. The noise was caused by the branch. Good guy, is this the landlord finally remembered to collect rent?

A bunch of bees were flying around the hive like headless flies, but they couldn't figure out why the branch would roll up a knife to steal the house.!

He Qiang has been using his supernatural powers continuously for a while, and has already achieved the level of using them as if they were his own arms.

The two branches have clear division of labor, the knife cuts the beehive, and the kettle catches the honey flowing from the gap.

Of course, these branches will also pull out new buds to catch the cut beehive.

The little bees were furious, flapping their wings and rushing around, and even lying on the knife and branches to drive them away.

But unfortunately, it didn't work at all, and they could only watch several kilograms of beehive being cut open and taken away.

He Qiang did not take the kettle away. Adhering to the principle of not wasting, he planned to let the kettle hang to catch the honey that was still flowing in the gap.

As He Qiang manipulated the branches to take away the spoils, the restless little bees also began to get busy.

The beehive was cut, and they must repair it.

A few dozen meters away, He Qiang used his supernatural powers to manipulate the branches to pass the beehive to himself.

Some of the little bees who were chasing them were directly driven away by the branches and returned to the beehive pitifully.

"It looks like it’s of very good quality!"

The amber-colored, crystal-clear honey in the honeycomb looked quite tempting. He Qiang could not help but feel his saliva secretion, so he took a piece and took a big bite! The honey in the honeycomb was squeezed and overflowed, filling He Qiang's mouth.

The sticky honeycomb was mixed with slightly crispy beeswax, and the chewing taste was quite good.

The sweet honey was slightly sour, and He Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed with satisfaction.

This sweet taste is really incomparable to white sugar!

He Qiang stopped after taking several more mouthfuls in one breath.

This honeycomb took at least several kilograms, but for the total volume of the honeycomb, it was less than half, which was a drop in the bucket.

I'll come again next time!

""Let's try your ability."

He Qiang did not forget the ultimate purpose of coming to this forest.

Following his instinct, He Qiang placed his hand on the trunk of a linden tree beside him.

The strange stone in his mind suddenly felt a throbbing sensation.

He Qiang followed his instinct, and suddenly a stream of pure energy poured out under his guidance.

"Not only can it be used on a single target, but it can also be used within a range?"

When He Qiang used his new ability, he discovered new details.

After thinking about it, he chose to pour the most energy into the linden tree where the bees built their nests, and the rest was evenly distributed to all the linden trees and flowering plants within his perception range.

After all, weeds and those fruitless shrubs were completely worthless, and there was no point in He Qiang taking care of them.

"Back to the time before liberation!"

He Qiang could feel that after using the new ability, the strange stone suddenly returned to its original state of near nothingness.

The accumulation of these days was drained at once.

But this may be the minimum limit of using the ability. Each release must consume so much energy, and it can only increase, not decrease.

Because of this, the originally increased perception range suddenly returned to ten meters.

Although it was beaten back to its original form, He Qiang knew in his heart that he only needed to save energy for a few days.

This is a good thing for him!

At least it is meaningful to know that the strange stone accumulates energy.

He even looked forward to it. If more energy is accumulated, will there be new changes in the strange stone's ability?

In the perception, the linden trees and flowers became full of vitality, constantly conveying a joyful mood to He Qiang. He seemed to be overflowing in a vibrant ocean at this moment.

The air seemed to be fresher and sweeter.

He Qiang knew that this was not his illusion, because it was visible to the naked eye that the linden flower buds that originally needed to bloom in half a month or a month were growing wildly. It is completely foreseeable that they will bloom soon!
