Under the strange gaze of Wang Wu, Niu Aihua directly rolled three times, smearing cow dung all over his body.

This would have been enough, but the cow dung surprisingly sprouted dense green vines again, wrapping him in a thick layer in less than half a minute, like a vined-up Old Niu.

Furthermore, it's unclear what Niu Aihua did, but Pork Belly, who was also soaked in the cow dung, found himself covered with vines, turning him into a small zongzi, and as he stretched his neck, the still-unconscious Pork Belly was carried onto Niu Aihua's back.

"See, third brother, I told you it's no problem, let's set off quickly, I can't wait to become an Eighth-Grade Grass and Wood Demon Soldier."

Niu Aihua bounced excitedly, even clapping rhythmically, as if performing a tap dance.

Wang Wu was truly shocked, yes, although the process was filthy, the result indeed lived up to Old Niu's title of the Little Prince of Ancient Blood Cow Dung.

"Well, Old Niu, don't you need to graze a bit more on the grass?"

Wang Wu kindly reminded him, topping off status before a boss fight is a basic quality for every player's dungeon run.

"No need, third brother, you've underestimated me. I can go a month without eating now!"

"Alright, then let's set off."

Wang Wu nodded, silently converting 100 points of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into 99 points of Ice Spiritual Qi. The last wave of freezing slender tentacles and a large number of bugs relied on Ice Spiritual Qi, and though he could quickly recover it, losing about 50 points of Ice Spiritual Qi from the fuss was quite normal.

Meanwhile, Niu Aihua wanted to forge ahead but was stopped by Wang Wu.

"Old Niu, follow me. Not too close, but you must keep me in sight at all times. Do you understand? It means don't look elsewhere, don't be curious about the surroundings, and absolutely don't zone out. Even if you suddenly turn around and find I'm not there, don't shout. Got it?"

"Understood, understood, you're the boss now, I'm following all your orders." Niu Aihua affirmed, nodding repeatedly.

It was then that Wang Wu stood still for three seconds and entered the Level 10 Passive Concealment. It is worth mentioning, even though entering the third stage, this Bloodline Talent can still be upgraded, but the needed Spiritual Qi remains fivefold, requiring 2500 points of Spiritual Qi to level up.

Fortunately, at this current stage, it should be sufficient.

After entering Passive Concealment, Old Niu kept watching him and did not feel anything unusual, just thinking, hey, why did this kid suddenly become so cautious?

But if he just glanced at his hoof and looked up, he would find Wang Wu had disappeared without a trace.

After walking forward for a while, Niu Aihua finally couldn't help but ask, "Third brother, can we speed up? We've already delayed a day."

"Shut up, stay behind me, and ensure a distance of ten heads of cattle. Remember, keep your eyes on me."

Wang Wu quickly scolded softly, fortunately, this time, Niu Aihua finally obeyed without a peep, never daring to avert his gaze.

They continued like this for about twenty minutes, only having covered less than 300 meters, and the surroundings remained silent with no signs of life.

Wang Wu hadn't discovered any special clues, just felt the inside was utterly decayed, leaving only the outer skin and the tree roots were too long.

He was quite surprised that Niu Aihua could hold on and dutifully followed orders. Seems he knew to heed commands and not be a deadweight teammate.

They progressed further, and Wang Wu finally stumbled upon a large hole leading downward, clearly the work of a Grass and Wood Zombie.

Upon getting closer, they could even smell a light grassy and woody fragrance emanating from below.

Nonetheless, to err on the side of caution, Wang Wu stayed put for ten minutes, sniffing the scent to ensure it was indeed non-toxic.

Then he signaled to Niu Aihua with a low voice, "Old Niu, don't jump down right away, alright?"

"Okay, I'm not a dumb cow."

Niu Aihua muttered.

Wang Wu nodded, cautiously trying to climb down the edge of the big hole, but it was practically impossible due to the steep and slippery edge. When he tried using his claws to grip in, it almost threw him off balance, realizing the seemingly woody bark was harder than stone.

Oh well, time to slide down.

"Whoosh!" In a swift slide, roughly fifty meters down with three twists and turns.

Finally, at the narrow end, with a thud, he landed several meters below.

Upon landing, Wang Wu instinctively wanted to roll away to avoid getting hit, knowing Niu Aihua would soon follow, possibly landing on him and making stars spin in his eyes.

However, what he never expected was a thick layer of gel-like sticky substance below, immediately gluing him tight. His struggles were fruitless.

And he could smell that refreshing grassy and woody fragrance, wait, is this resin?

No sooner had this thought crossed his mind, with a whoosh from above, Niu Aihua slid down. This time, it knew to pause for a bit, but damn!

Wang Wu could only try to dodge his head, yet the next second, Niu Aihua, due to its large body, got stuck a few meters above Wang Wu with its head down and tail up.

But the bad news was, it immediately panicked.

"Third Brother, where are you? Come quickly and save me, I'm stuck, help!"

The voice was astonishingly loud, causing dense echoes all around.

A few seconds later, Niu Aihua finally realized he had done something stupid, but it was too late to take it back.

The rumbling echoes reverberated back and forth in the area, very bizarrely.

Realizing this, Wang Wu immediately reacted.

"No, this is a trap!"

"Old Niu, don't shout."

Wang Wu quickly called out, and Niu Aihua instantly quieted down, looking panicked with his large cow eyes towards the source of the voice. He knew Wang Wu was nearby, but he couldn't see or sense him.

However, he was relieved. It was fine if he couldn't see him, as long as he was sure they were still there.

At this moment, Wang Wu listened carefully, and after a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief. Since this was an enclosed trap and the entrance was blocked by Niu Aihua, although the previous shout was loud, it wouldn't be transmitted far.

So now, the urgent task was to quickly escape from this trap, or else the three of them would really be cooked into a stew.

But the problem was, although the resin-like liquid in this trap wasn't much and only a few centimeters deep, it was too sticky, with a terrifying adhesive force. Despite his 31 points of power, after struggling for a long time, he was even more stuck.

"Looks like there's no choice but to try the last resort."

Wang Wu hesitated for a moment, then stuck out his tongue to lick it. Ew, it was so bitter, it was so bitter that his tongue couldn't feel anything anymore.

But aside from that, there were no other negative effects, no toxins. Moments later, as his tongue gradually returned to normal, he could feel an unimaginable sweetness.

Very refreshing, very pure, a natural kind of sweetness that made his whole body feel as if he were bathing in the sunlight, breathing the purest air.

Besides, he felt as if his entire body was cheering and singing, almost turning into Xiong Da and Xiong Er, dancing and singing that he loved his honey.

"Is this honey?"

Wang Wu found it hard to believe, but there were still no prompts, so he ate a large mouthful without hesitation. The next second, he couldn't even open his mouth, completely stuck.

The bitterness made his tears turn into fountains.

But miraculously, this large mouthful of what seemed like honey but resembled resin gradually melted in his mouth, turning into a sweet and fragrant liquid that slid down his throat after a few minutes!

Hmm, delicious, sweet. This is honey, no doubt about it.

Immediately, lines of information rapidly appeared.

"You discovered Eighth-Grade Ascetic Flower Honey, a well-known specialty of the West Wilderness, collected and brewed by the Ascetic Mad Bees, one of the ancient tree companion species. However, due to the Ascetic Mad Bees' ruthless nature and dislike of external contact, they are very mysterious, and thus Ascetic Flower Honey rarely circulates in the market."

"Warning, you consumed Ascetic Flower Honey. Over the next three months, you will emit the unique fragrance of Ascetic Flower Honey from your entire body, which cannot be concealed. Unless you gain the recognition of the Ascetic Mad Bees, during these three months, even in the coldest winter days, you may face a frenzied pursuit by a swarm of Ascetic Mad Bees."

"You gained 1000 points of Satiety."

"You gained 500 points of Spiritual Qi."

"You acquired a passive effect - within 30 days, your vitality greatly increases, your Healing Talent can be activated 7 times continuously, and your Satiety will convert to Vitality at a faster rate."

——

As expected, it's honey. But what are these Ascetic Mad Bees, are they like the Ascetic Monks infinitely loyal to Grandpa Tree?

At this moment, Wang Wu felt a chill down his spine. Anything with the word 'Ascetic' in it is never simple.

Especially since these Ascetic Mad Bees can fly out unaffected by the cold winter to chase, which basically means his Array Stone immobilization effect fails.

So, what are you waiting for, one bite or a hundred bites, it's all the same, eat first and ask questions later!

Right then, he took another big bite. After a while, as the Ascetic Flower Honey gradually transformed into a sweet and refreshing liquid, he closed his eyes to savor it, then went for another big bite.

I must say, although this thing tastes like enjoying Silent Meditation, its effect is absolutely explosive.

For a while, Wang Wu was eating with great enjoyment, until his Satiety nearly exceeded its limit. He still maintained the basic rationality to ensure he always remained in the Level 10 Passive Concealment State.

However, due to the significant increase in vitality, the speed at which Satiety converted to Vitality was very fast, with about 1000 points of Satiety converting to 50 points of Vitality, the rest absorbed by the body.

In the end, when Wang Wu accumulated enough Vitality to reach 500 points, he also successfully obtained 2000 points of Spiritual Qi, bringing the total Spiritual Qi to 2110 points.

Apart from the 400-point storage limit, the remainder would dissipate after 24 hours.
