Landing 500 Years Early, I Became a God by Digging for Treasures 51

Chapter 51: Not only did he steal the corn, but he also stole the honey!

“Roar!” The Pangu Grey Bear sensed the danger and awoke from its slumber. It saw Lu Yuan stealing corn cobs and instantly flew into a rage, swiftly climbing the tree to smack the darn thief to death.

“Woof woof woof!” The Old Wolf howled from a distance, its voice weak and ineffective, whether due to a sore throat or something else.

“That dog is utterly unreliable.”

With his significantly improved attributes, Lu Yuan’s skills were now far beyond what they used to be. Having collected over 20 corn cobs, he was satisfied. With a light leap, he jumped onto the snow.

“Brother, let’s talk this over… I didn’t steal anything from you, not at all!”

Lu Yuan held his shield high, using the eye pattern to intimidate the bear while slowly backing away.

“Roar!!” The large brown bear also leaped from the tree. Seeing the pattern, it felt a hint of fear. It glanced back at the corn tree, then at Lu Yuan. Its brain wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed; it felt like there were fewer corn cobs? Upon closer inspection, Lu Yuan didn’t seem to have any corn on him.

“I didn’t steal any, really!!” Old Lu loudly protested, attempting to deceive the bear.

“Roar roar!” The brown bear became even more furious, its broad paws pounding the snow. Bears aren’t that easily fooled! Prepare to pay with your life, kid!

Just as the brown bear was about to attack, Lu Yuan’s “Transcendent Fire Seed” in his mind pulsed slightly, radiating its aura. His excellent-grade dagger shimmered with a faint golden light under the sun.

“Mama bear, if you come any closer, I’ll have to eat bear paw, don’t blame me for not warning you!”

The brown bear hesitated again. Its animal instincts were quite sharp, sensing the dagger’s sharpness; it could probably slice through its bear hide in one go. A standoff ensued between it and Lu Yuan.

“Aaah! Aah!”

Lu Yuan yelled continuously, spreading his arms wide and slowly retreating. When facing a wild animal, the most crucial thing is to maintain your presence! Let it know you’re not someone to mess with, but don’t make too many large movements. Otherwise, if the animal gets frightened, it might immediately attack.

“Aww aww??” Two bear cubs poked their heads out from the snow, watching their mother and this strange creature struggle, observing stupidly from the side. Their shiny eyes curiously stared at Lu Yuan.

“Bear One, Bear Two, come and play with me! Uncle Guangtouqiang has yummy treats for you.” Lu Yuan called out strangely.

The mother bear became even more wary, using her massive body to protect her two curious cubs. Then, she noticed Lu Yuan’s right hand reaching into his pocket and magically producing a fish?

The brown bear’s shiny eyes froze. Where did that fish come from?

Lu Yuan nodded, saying proudly, “Mama bear, this is my treat.”

“Next time, I’ll treat you again!”

With a flick of his wrist, the large fish arced through the air in an elegant parabola, landing precisely in the brown bear’s mouth.

“Ugh? Roar?!” The brown bear roared, startled, spitting out the fish. It sniffed it and found it quite fresh. It was instantly delighted. Damn, how long has it been since it last had fish? Someone sent a pillow when I was sleepy. You’re a pretty good guy.

Then, Lu Yuan pulled out two egg yolk pies, mixed with a small amount of bird eggs and fire lizard meat. This held a huge appeal to wild animals.

The two bear cubs smelled the aroma and scrambled to grab them.

The brown bear was enraged, roaring, and swatting the two cubs away with its broad paws. Didn’t your mother ever tell you, things given by strangers should be given to mama first!

Looking up, it found that the darn fellow had already disappeared.

…

The corn was acquired!

“See? The world isn’t just about fighting and killing; it’s about human relationships.”

“Today, I built a good relationship with them.”

“Tomorrow, I won’t have to steal or rob to get corn.”

On his way back, Lu Yuan lectured the Old Wolf.

Although the Old Wolf didn’t understand a word, it still admired its wise and valiant master, who could toy with that large mother bear. In the past, the wolf pack… wouldn’t even dare to approach that bear!

Following the master is so much better!

Next, Lu Yuan arrived at the territory of the Poison Bee King.

His garbage-picking journey was clearly not over yet.

“Mutated corn acquired, now for some mutated honey.”

Lu Yuan had been anticipating the taste of honey cornbread for a long time!

These terrifying bees were symbiotic with the man-eating flowers. The man-eating flowers wouldn’t prey on them. Due to long-term nectar collection, the bees had evolved rapidly. Each bee was about the size of a fist, and its sharp stinger could easily pierce human skin.

The Poison Bee King’s strength was at the small boss level! And there wasn’t just one Bee King in a hive; there might be three or five.

But winter was still their nemesis. No matter how much the bees evolved, they weren’t warm-blooded animals. As soon as winter came, they all hid in their old nests to huddle together for warmth. That old nest was also incredibly large, about thirty meters in diameter and twenty meters high—a massive house made of beeswax.

These bees were far more difficult to deal with than the big clumsy bear. As soon as Lu Yuan approached, bees buzzed out to drive away nearby creatures. As soon as Lu Yuan moved away, the bees flew back to huddle together for warmth.

“How did it detect me? Infrared?”

“I can’t get close…”

Fortunately, the cold weather weakened the bees’ flying and sensing abilities, and the accumulating snow buried part of the hive.

“I have a plan.”

Lu Yuan had an idea. He took a shovel and dug a long tunnel in the thick snow layer, all the way to the bottom of the hive. Grasping “Daedalus’s Skinning Knife,” he gently poked the bottom of the hive.

“Whoosh!”

The bronze dagger went into the thick hive like it was cutting through tofu. Excellent-grade weapons were indeed powerful.

Lu Yuan rubbed his hands and quickly pulled out the dagger, bringing out a handful of yellowish juice. He tasted it with the tip of his tongue; it wasn’t honey, but had a fishy smell of royal jelly. It was probably a bee egg that had been pierced by the dagger.

Lu Yuan took chopsticks from his storage space, picked up the bee egg, and put it in the Old Wolf’s mouth. The wolf in the tunnel winked, wagged its tail excitedly, and wanted to howl.

“You go first.”

“I’ll get a few eggs back.”

Each bee egg was the size of a cherry. He wasn’t greedy, using chopsticks to fill a small bottle, knowing when to stop. He then carefully sealed the crack made by the dagger with beeswax.

He slowly moved a few meters away and continued to poke upwards with the dagger. He secretly rejoiced; with this divine weapon, the hive’s hardness was quite high. To damage it, he would have had to make a huge commotion.

His luck had turned!

On his second attempt, bright yellow honey flowed down the dagger. Lu Yuan licked the dagger with the tip of his tongue. The pure taste was like silky satin; each drop carried a natural sweetness, perfectly balancing the sweetness and freshness, making one intoxicated. The honey also had a mysterious warmth, nourishing every cell in the body, warm and comfortable.
