Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 138 Tracking Bees

Seeing this, Mu Yang nodded in satisfaction and said confidently.

"Alright, everything is ready, let's set off now!"

However, Wen Xingyu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle and tease the little bee in front of her.

"Oh dear, these are just ordinary bees. You don't actually plan to have them collect honey for us, do you?"

Faced with Wen Xingyu's questioning, Mu Yang was not angry at all, but patiently explained.

"Hmph, don't underestimate this little guy. It's no ordinary bee; it's a tracking bee that I carefully bred. It can track its target using a unique scent!"

Just as Wen Xingyu was about to continue her rebuttal, Xu Yan, who was standing to the side, quickly reached out and pulled her back, and gently advised her.

"Alright, alright, it's more important for us to hurry up and find Sister Yuechu. We can talk about other things later."

Hearing this, Wen Xingyu also felt that it made sense, so she stopped arguing with Mu Yang.

And so, Xu Yan led the group closely following the tracking bees released by Mu Yang, traversing mountains and valleys along the way.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally stepped into a lush and exceptionally dense forest...

Just then, everyone saw that the tracking bee was stuck in the same spot, spinning around as if it had lost its way.

Seeing this, Mu Yang was overjoyed, because he knew that it meant they had reached their destination!

So, Mu Yang quickly turned around and shouted loudly to his companions behind him.

"Everyone, we've arrived at our target location! Now everyone, quickly spread out and search the area carefully."

"Remember to pay close attention to your surroundings and details. If you find anything, shout it out. You might just find Yuechu!" After saying that, he took the lead and walked in one direction, beginning his serious search.

After hearing Mu Yang's words, the others also sprang into action. Some crawled into the bushes to search, while others climbed trees to look around... In an instant, this once quiet place became bustling with activity.

Huan Yuechu stared wide-eyed at the crystal ball that emitted a mysterious light, as if her entire soul had been sucked into it.

After a long while, she blinked slowly as if waking from a dream, struggling to recover from the astonishing and breathtaking scene presented by the crystal ball.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the turbulent emotions surging within her, but her heart was still beating so fast it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

He thought to himself, "This is unbelievable! If I don't let my friends know this amazing news as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

With that thought in mind, she no longer hesitated, resolutely turned around, and strode towards the cave exit.

Just then, a familiar yet urgent shout came from above.

Huan Yuechu suddenly stopped and looked up. She saw several figures peeking out of the cave entrance, calling her name repeatedly.

The voices were filled with anxiety and worry; they belonged to her beloved companions!

She excitedly waved her hands and shouted at the top of her lungs, "I'm here!"

Upon hearing her call, her companions' faces immediately lit up with ecstatic joy.

They quickly lowered a thick rope, signaling Huan Yuechu to grab it and climb up.

Huan Yuechu used both her hands and feet to grip the rope tightly, climbing upwards as quickly as a nimble monkey.

When she finally returned to the ground, she couldn't even catch her breath before eagerly telling her friends everything she had seen inside the crystal ball.

As she vividly described the scene, everyone's expressions grew increasingly serious, until finally they were all speechless with shock.

After a brief silence, everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with both fear of the unknown danger and a desire to unravel the mystery.

Finally, led by Huan Yuechu, the group, filled with questions and renewed hope, continued their escape.

However, due to the long and tense chase and search that had taken place, everyone was exhausted and panting.

Their legs felt incredibly heavy, as if filled with lead, and every step required tremendous effort.

Sweat soaked their clothes and streamed down their faces, but no one complained, and no one gave up.

Everyone knew that if they didn't escape quickly, the consequences of being caught by those people would be unimaginable.

So everyone mustered their spirits, gritted their teeth, and desperately moved forward.

But fate always seems to enjoy playing tricks on people.

Just as everyone was thinking of running away, a vast, turbulent river suddenly appeared in front of them.

The river, like a ferocious dragon, stood before them, blocking their escape route.

The group looked around at the rushing river, hoping to find some tools or methods to help them cross it.

Suddenly, Xu Yan's eyes lit up as if she had discovered a treasure, and she excitedly pointed to the lush bamboo forest next to her and shouted.

"Look! There are lots of bamboo there. We can cut some down and make a bamboo raft to cross the river."

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up and responded enthusiastically.

They quickly picked up their tools and ran towards the bamboo forest without hesitation.

For a time, the sound of bamboo being cut down rose and fell, echoing throughout the entire riverbank.

With everyone working together enthusiastically, a sufficient amount of bamboo was collected in no time.

These bamboos are of uniform thickness and suitable length, making them an excellent material for building bamboo rafts.

Just then, Wen Xingyu calmly pulled out a thick rope that she always carried with her from her bosom.

The rope looks very strong and durable, and it was obviously prepared carefully.

She skillfully tied the bamboo stalks together tightly, making sure each knot was secure and wouldn't easily come apart.

Just as the bamboo raft was about to be completed, suddenly, a rapid and loud sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats, their faces turned pale, and they were so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe.

Mu Yang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, stamping his feet and shouting anxiously.

"Oh no! What are we going to do now? It looks like we're going to be too late!"

However, at this critical moment, Huan Yuechu, who is usually calm and collected, remained composed.

She quickly bent down, picked up a few large stones from the ground, and then threw them into the river with all her might.

With a few loud "plop" sounds, the stones splashed into the water, creating huge sprays and a loud noise.
