Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 692 - 423 Barter_2

Dongdong shrieked mournfully and dashed into the bungalow, his voice shaking all the residents, prompting everyone to rush out.

The plump grandmother, upon seeing her grandson, hurried over, "Oh dear, my grandson, my grandson!"

"My grandson, what’s wrong with you?" the plump grandmother rubbed her grandson’s head.

Dongdong wailed, "Yellow jackets, yellow jackets stung me!"

Pain had reduced him to tears and snot; all his previous arrogance was gone. The plump grandmother inspected him and indeed saw several red spots on his face, arms, and neck.

Jiang Ning found his wailing too loud, so she used an Array to turn down the volume.

Seeing his fierce wailing, the plump grandmother also cried out, "Damn it, whose yellow jackets stung my grandson!"

Others heard this and found themselves unable to console her.

Dongdong cried out, "Kill the yellow jackets, kill them!"

Initially, Dongdong could still cry out, but soon the venom of the yellow jackets began to take effect, turning his lips a pale green, his complexion growing markedly abnormal.

Even Uncle Zhang, who was spectating, noticed something was off.

A neighbor said, "Hurry, send him to the hospital, don’t let anything happen; yellow jacket stings can be deadly."

He used to live in the countryside, where someone got stung by a swarm of yellow jackets and ended up dying; their venom is extremely potent!

The plump grandmother was frightened out of her wits.

The grandpa quickly pushed his electric trike out, "Quick, get on, I’ll take you to the hospital!"

The plump grandmother hastily picked up her grandson, who was nearly half-dead, and sat on the tricycle.

...

Xue Yuantong was left dumbfounded, barely believing, "Getting stung by yellow jackets is that serious?"

Xue Chuchu knew quite a bit, "Yellow jackets are much more dangerous than honeybees; you must not provoke them."

"I saw on TV, some professional beekeepers, they don’t dare to touch wild yellow jacket hives."

Thinking about Dongdong’s horrible condition, Xue Yuantong quickly said, "I definitely won’t provoke them!"

Being sent to the hospital over a sting, in Xue Yuantong’s view, was a major ordeal.

Xue Chuchu’s beautiful brows lightly knitted, her delicate face reflecting a slight worry, "I’m afraid Dongdong provoked the yellow jackets. Once they go mad, they sting anyone they see. In my uncle’s village, someone poked a yellow jacket hive the day before yesterday, and people passing by got stung the next day."

"What should we do if my mom gets stung?" Xue Yuantong worried but then bitterly clenched her teeth with resolve, "Come on, Jiang Ning, let’s burn their hive!"

Jiang Ning put away her phone and stood up, "Lead the way."

Xue Chuchu had just spoken in vain...

"Don’t go," she urged, though Jiang Ning was mighty, capable of beating up thugs, yellow jackets were much more troublesome than thugs; humans simply couldn’t fight them barehanded!

To deal with a yellow jacket hive, you must find firefighters, let professionals handle it.

She tried to persuade him a few times, but Jiang Ning remained indifferent. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Xue Chuchu gave up on persuading and instead supported his idea, planning strategically, "If you truly want to tackle the yellow jacket hive, it’s best to use smoke, fire, or insecticide."

Xue Yuantong threw out an idea, waving her hand, "Can I use an electric mosquito swatter?"

Xue Chuchu, "...In theory, it’s feasible."

"The prerequisite is, you need to wear a protective suit."

There were no protective suits at home, so Xue Yuantong had to give up.

Xue Chuchu said, "You all better be well-prepared, just look what happened to Dongdong."

Jiang Ning assured, "Don’t worry, I’ll be more prepared than he was."

"Tongtong, go get some oil; I’ll go home and get the tools," Jiang Ning instructed.

Seeing his willingness to use the Fire Attack Technique calmed Xue Chuchu significantly, relieved he took the advice.

It wasn’t as reckless as she thought.

The pre-battle mobilization was rapid: Xue Yuantong prepared the fuel and lighter, while Xue Chuchu brought home two raincoats to serve as protective suits.

When Xue Chuchu saw Jiang Ning, she was stunned for a second. He held a pair of nunchaku, even twirling them around twice.

Xue Chuchu: ’Is this what you call being well-prepared?’

At least Dongdong brought a slingshot, even a long-range weapon!

Jiang Ning instructed Tongtong, "When we get there, follow my commands."

Xue Yuantong, bouncing with enthusiasm, supported, "Alright, alright!"

With the strategy set, Jiang Ning led the way, marching forward. Uncle Zhang squatted on the ground smoking, wearing a troubled frown.

He only wanted to teach Dongdong a lesson as revenge for breaking his phone. Little did he know the yellow jackets were so fierce, sending Dongdong straight to the hospital.

"What are you guys up to?" Uncle Zhang asked.

Xue Yuantong: "Punishing evil and promoting good."

No sooner had she spoken than she dashed a few steps to catch up with Jiang Ning; she was the logistical support for this expedition. Without her, Jiang Ning couldn’t harness his full strength.

After walking over one hundred meters, Jiang Ning stopped in his tracks and looked up; a basketball-sized grey yellow jacket hive hung in the tree, dozens of yellow jackets buzzing around it, giving one goosebumps.

"That’s a big hive."

He had seen yellow jacket hives in the village before, but none were half the size of this one.

Xue Chuchu didn’t dare get too close; yellow jackets had volatile temperaments and were extremely protective of their nests.

Currently, the hive was intact; once destroyed, within a short span, the yellow jackets would indiscriminately attack all passing creatures.

Therefore, yellow jackets are quite fearsome creatures; usually, people who provoke them meet a tragic end.

Xue Chuchu knew Jiang Ning’s personality: "If you’ve decided, we’ll splash the oil on the hive, then ignite it, but there are still flies of yellow jackets around, hard to eliminate in one go."

Jiang Ning said, "You two wear the raincoats first and step back."

Seeing Xue Chuchu hesitate, he urged, "Hurry up."

Xue Yuantong decisively draped on the raincoat: "Jiang Ning, if the yellow jackets sting you later, remember to run. I know you’re incredibly fast, the yellow jackets can’t catch you."

"That’s right," Jiang Ning withheld judgement.

He brandished the nunchaku, saying, "Tongtong, pour the oil!"

Thus, under Xue Chuchu’s astonished gaze, Xue Yuantong poured the oil onto the nunchaku.
