Chapter 39: The Power of Honey

  "Honey?" Snake Granny's not-so-confident suggestion, however, made Li Mang's eyes light up. He couldn't guarantee anything else, but he was absolutely confident in the quality of the honey. A product of Shan Hai Jing, it must be a masterpiece! The honey from Tang Ting Mountain is unmatched!

  "Give it a try!" Snake Granny still thought Li Meng was questioning her, and she didn't want to talk about it anymore. Finally, she said: "You should pay attention to the murderer behind the scenes. At this time, he must be within 200 meters of Chen's villa, otherwise, he won't be able to control the Gu worm. If possible, you should catch him, and killing him is not a problem. However, you have to be careful yourself. Although the physical quality of the Gu masters is not strong, they have many fierce Gu worms on their bodies, and you mustn't underestimate them."

  Hanging up the phone, Li Meng immediately returned to the villa and asked without waiting for Chen Hui to say anything: "Is there honey in the villa? Best if it's natural wild."

  Most of the honey on the market today is artificially cultivated, with sugar water feeding being secondary, and many are even directly mixed with sugarcane water or chemical drugs, with a shocking degree of adulteration.

  "Yes, I had someone buy a few kilograms from the mountains earlier." Chen Hui replied, and although he wasn't clear what Li Meng needed the honey for, he still had someone bring over a bottle.

  Li Mang took the honey and didn't dare to linger. He just nodded his head and walked out, only instructing: "I'll be out for a few minutes, you all pay attention to safety."

  Hurriedly leaving the Chen family villa, Li Meng ran to a deserted corner and entered the Shan Hai Jing world, taking a small amount of Tangting Mountain honey and mixing it into the Chen family's honey, stirring evenly. Worried that something might happen at the Chen house, he didn't linger long before hastily returning.

  However, when he returned to the Chen family villa, he still found that something unexpected had happened. Three corpses were lying on the ground, two of whom had been stabbed to death with a dagger, and the last one, although injured, also had his eyeballs burst out, making it easy to imagine what had happened.

  The Chen family of four huddled on the sofa, their bodies trembling with fear, while the bodyguards in the hall were mutually wary, the trust that once existed now gone. They didn't know if the partner behind them would suddenly turn into a rioter, and the recent unexpected event made them uneasy at heart.

  Li Mang swallowed his saliva, no time to care about it, found a plate and poured out half of the honey, ordered these bodyguards: "If you don't want any accidents, you'd better come up voluntarily, each of you put a spoonful of honey in your mouth, but remember not to swallow it, if something crawls out from your throat, spit it out with all your might."

  ...... A group of bodyguards looked at each other in dismay, no one took action, only a few people shifted their gaze to Chen Hui.

  "From now on, everything will be decided by Master Li!" Chen Hui said, showing an unexpectedly high level of trust in Li Meng. He had no other choice, as Li Meng had become his only hope; if he couldn't trust Li Meng, who else could he trust?

  Having received the boss's instructions, more than 20 bodyguards stopped thinking and, under Li Mang's guidance, took turns taking honey and putting it in their mouths, all with their mouths wide open, looking silly.

  Time passed minute by minute, Li Mang watched each of them very nervously, afraid that this method would not work.

  "Ah! Ah! Ah......"

  A middle-aged man suddenly let out a loud yell, his eyes wide with fear, and the sound seemed to reverberate because of his open mouth.

  "When the things inside crawl into your mouth, you must spit them out immediately!" Li Meng shouted in a commanding tone.

  "Ugh!!!"

  Perhaps it was seasickness, but the middle-aged man vomited, however, everyone at this moment did not feel disgusted, but instead more eager to know if there were any living things above.

  Two beetles struggled out of the mixture, appearing in everyone's line of sight with an ugly posture, making the entire Chen family feel nauseous and fearful.

  Then several more people spat out Gu worms, but most did not, or it had no effect. The Chen family of four saw this situation and naturally felt uneasy in their hearts. Without waiting for Li Meng's instructions, they asked for honey to test, and the result was that the three women were fine, while Chen Hui spat out as many as three beetles, scaring them so much that their faces turned white, and Chen Hui's skin even turned green from spitting.

  "What in the world is this thing?!" Chen Ziyin's composure was gone, her face as pale as paper. For a woman, such an existence was even more unacceptable.

  Li Mang looked at her and said: "Pinworm!"

  Chen Zining's lips twitched again and again, but she didn't ask any more questions. She understood that no matter how she asked, she couldn't get an answer.

  In fact, she really guessed it. Nowadays, it's not the era of gods and immortals, supernatural things are no longer supposed to exist on earth, if exposed in front of people, the order of the earth will be disrupted. So Yan Huang strictly seals all supernatural information, this is a discipline that every member of Yan Huang must memorize when they first join.

  Although Chen's family has initially involved in this aspect of cognition, Li Mang will not violate the discipline of Yan Huang because of it. What should not be said, he naturally does not say.

  "These insects are gone, now you just need to guard the safety of the villa well, I'm going out to find the murderer!" Li Mang put away the remaining honey and left Chen's villa again.

  Grandma Snake said that the mastermind behind the scenes would hide within a range of two hundred meters, which is not small, but the Purple Gold District is not a prosperous city district, but rather a vast villa area. Within the 200-meter radius, there are only a few buildings, so searching shouldn't be too difficult.

  "Damn it, I've lost contact with all of my kids!" An old man with a face full of black grid-like patterns was extremely furious not far from the Chen family villa.

  He is called Azuna, one of the few remaining Gu masters in the world today. He comes from a mysterious organization and his mission this time is to capture a girl with predictive abilities, but after repeated attempts, he finally discovers that what he is looking for is not a person, but an artifact that can predict the future.

  Tonight was the time he prepared to reap, but unexpectedly, the soul-gu he had painstakingly cultivated suddenly lost contact one by one, which made him extremely angry, and his dark grid-like face looked ferocious like a fierce ghost.

  "Whoosh!"

  The sudden sound of breaking air from behind made Azhana feel bad, and her thin body rolled forward to dodge the sneak attack from behind. Azhana, who was still in shock, looked up to see that the person attacking her was a young man, who also had a shocked expression at this time.

  Azhu recognized Li Meng's identity at a glance, it was the young man who had been deliberately approaching Chen sisters in recent days. He had seen Li Meng twice, but he had always been in a hidden place, and Li Meng had not discovered him yet.

  "You are a descendant of the Yan and Huang Emperors!" Ah Zhu slowly opened her mouth, the sound from her toothless mouth was faintly audible.

  Li Mang stared at the sorcerer in shock, not expecting him to guess his identity so quickly. Of course, he wouldn't admit it and narrowed his eyes to ask: "Who are you? Why do you want to do such crazy things?"

  "Hmph! So you were just a naive little bird who knew nothing, I'm really surprised. Are all the people of Yan Huang pig-brained? Such an important task and they actually sent you to die!" Ah Zhu also dodged the question with a smile, suddenly waving his sleeve.

  In the dark of night, Li Mang saw a black shadow approaching. Although he couldn't see what it was clearly, he didn't dare to test his luck and quickly retreated.

  Under the dim light, Li Mang saw a group of spiders crawling around on the ground. They were not ordinary spiders, but had been cultivated into Gu insects that could directly pierce through an animal's skin and enter its blood vessels, causing extensive damage to its internal organs, ultimately leading to death.

  Li Mang didn't know all this, but he could guess roughly, anyway just don't touch it.

  "Heh heh, my children will take good care of you." Ah Zuan smiled slyly and reached into the pouch on her body, grabbing a handful of various Gu insects. Instead of sprinkling them onto Li Mang, she scattered them around him, surrounding him in a circle.

  This is a piece of grassland with relatively dim light, Li Mang can hear the rustling sound and see some traces of the wasps, but he cannot see them all, he cannot guarantee which position is safe.

  The rustling sound made his hair stand on end, but he quickly reacted and pulled out the leftover honey from his pocket and suddenly splashed it onto Ah Zhu's body.

  Although Ah Zhu was an old man, his reaction speed was extremely fast. However, the honey was too much and its splashing range was very large. Coupled with Li Meng's sudden movement, a large part of the honey still fell on his body.

  The thick honey fragrance suddenly spread out in front, and the poisonous insects that were originally approaching Li Mang on the grassland had a keen sense of smell, apparently hesitating for a moment. Their will ultimately did not firm up, and they changed direction, quickly crawling towards the lawn where the honey was spilled.

  "Royal jelly!" Ah Zhu exclaimed, he suddenly had a bad premonition. Sure enough, the wasps in the bag also smelled the honey scent on him and originally obedient creatures suddenly went into a frenzy, spiders, centipedes, scorpions and whatnot instantly crawled all over his body.
