Chapter 79: Chapter 76 Saving the Savage and Acquiring the Divine Technique (10,000 Words to Solicit Subscriptions)_4
The firelight illuminated the cave, and Chen Jie could even see their faces from just a few dozen ters away. They were looking everywhere, and their eyes even swept over Chen Jie’s hiding spot more than once.
Chen Jie’s heart leaped into his throat.
At that mont, Ni Manzi narrowed his eyes, not panicking, but resolute instead.
If discovered, given his current severely injured state, the chances of escaping safely were slim. However, the possibility of taking a few with him in a fight to the death could not be ruled out.
So, he appeared calm.
It was just life and death after all!
He dared to kill officials and rebel, he wasn’t afraid of this!
Life and death were just a bit of frost and hardship!
Huff, huff…
Chen Jie’s breathing beca labored. He wanted to know if his setup would work. According to his plan, there shouldn’t have been many faults, but he had no idea if these Energy Transformation Masters had so special skills that could help them make determinations.
Then he would really be in a bind.
While he was pondering this, an official from Huangzhou Prefecture’s criminal justice departnt said, “The sll of blood is strong here; that bastard must have fled here!”
Zhang Liye then said, “Should we split up and search?”
Ghost Hand Gu Qingfeng said, “No, that won’t work. Ni Manzi is astonishingly strong. The five of us struggled against just him and still lost Brother Ding Shun. If we split up, it would be even more dangerous.”
“Exactly, we shouldn’t split up. If any of us encounters Ni Manzi alone, we wouldn’t stand a chance. There might even be a threat to our lives!”
Having heard this, everyone fell into brief silence. Then, the arrest officer from Huangzhou Prefecture took out a small bottle containing a blood-red bee.
Seeing the bee, Ni Manzi’s expression imdiately changed as he whispered, “Brother, run! Don’t stay with . They’ve found us!”
“I can’t!”
Chen Jie said in a lowered voice.
Ni Manzi replied, “Brother, I appreciate your loyalty, but now’s not the ti for that. See that bottle? It contains a Blood-seeking Bee that can track us by the scent of blood. It’s quite formidable!”
Chen Jie grinned, “No worries, they won’t find us.”
Ni Manzi said incredulously, “You, how can you be so confident?”
Chen Jie replied, “Why, Hero, don’t you believe ?”
Ni Manzi replied, “Of course I don’t believe it. The scent of blood on can’t be normally detected by people, but in front of a Blood-seeking Bee, there’s nowhere to hide. Being found is inevitable!”
Chen Jie chuckled and said, “How about a bet then?”
“What kind of bet?”
Ni Manzi frowned at Chen Jie, thinking it insane to make a bet at such a ti.
Chen Jie proposed, “If I lose, I don’t have anything else to offer to the Hero. I’ll just die beside you. But if I win, could the Hero agree to one condition of mine?”
“What condition?”
“We’ll talk about it if we escape this!”
Chen Jie teased, leaving Ni Manzi curious, “Alright. If you’re seeking death, I’ll play along. Whatever the condition, I agree!”
Chen Jie bead.
He then pulled a bit of white powder from his pocket, scattering it at the entrance of the cave, and then stood with arms akimbo, watching what would happen.
Ni Manzi was baffled.
At that mont, the released Blood-seeking Bee fluttered in the air. After a while, as if catching a scent, it slowly flew towards Chen Jie’s direction.
“Over here!”
The official called out, and the four n followed the Blood-seeking Bee.
They had only taken a few steps when the Blood-seeking Bee suddenly started circling in place, right where Chen Jie had sprinkled the white powder.
Soon after a few turns, the bee abruptly changed direction, following the trail of blood Chen Jie had laid out.
The group hurried after it, and then Gu Qingfeng called out, “Look!”
The four n gathered and saw a piece of blood-stained black cloth hanging on a tree branch.
“This is Ni Manzi’s outer garnt. He’s headed up the mountain!”
Peng Shizhong from White Tiger Hall then spoke up.
The arrest officer Zhang Liye slightly frowned, but seeing the Blood-seeking Bee head up the mountain, he didn’t suspect anything and directly chased after it.
Watching the four n moving farther away, Ni Manzi’s eyes widened in disbelief, “They just left like that? How did you do it?”
He looked at Chen Jie, his gaze filled with baffled amazent.
Chen Jie smiled and explained, “The Blood-seeking Bee, in the dicine classics known as ‘Blood Honey’, is a top-grade dicinal ingredient among the ‘Eight Precious Nutrients.’ It’s mainly used for blood deficiency, dizziness, palpitations, and is an excellent restorative for postpartum won, known for its ‘one honey binds a hundred.’ Among the records in the dicine classics, there is also a thod of raising Blood-seeking Bees, which includes an art of ‘drawing a chalk circle.'”
“When raising these bees, it’s quite troubleso as they like to fly everywhere. Sotis, they might even get lost, which is distressing. Thus, after many experints, beekeepers found out these bees are averse to li!”
“So, so beekeepers use li to draw a large圈, ensuring the bees don’t stray from it, which is called ‘drawing a chalk circle.'”
“I took your outer garnt just now; it was all covered in blood. While setting it up, I also made so cover tracks. The bee definitely slled the blood, but it was stronger here, so it wanted to co here.”
“However, when I sprinkled the li, the Blood-seeking Bee sensed it and instinctively avoided it, naturally taking the route I had laid out.”
Having heard this, Ni Manzi’s jaw dropped in awe, “Wow, your strategy is incredibly ticulous! How did you even think of this? I definitely couldn’t have! Amazing, truly amazing!”
Ni Manzi was more and more convinced that the young man before him was no ordinary person.
