The firelight flickered, illuminating the mountain cave where Chen Jie was hiding, only tens of meters away from them. Chen Jie could even see their faces as they scanned the area, their gazes sweeping over his hiding spot more than once.
*Chen Jie’s heart pounded, as though it was lodged in his throat.*
Meanwhile, Ni Manzi squinted his eyes. *There was no panic in his gaze, only a determined finality.*
If they were discovered, given his current severe injuries, the odds of escaping unscathed were slim. But the possibility of taking down one or two of them in a desperate struggle wasn’t entirely out of the question.
So, he appeared calm and indifferent.
It was but life and death!
He had dared to kill officials and rebel against authority. Why would he fear these men?
Life and death—just like a passing frost!
Hooo… hooo…
Chen Jie’s breathing grew heavy. He wondered if his preparations would hold up. By his calculations, his setup shouldn’t have had too many flaws. But he couldn’t account for whether these Energy Transformation Masters had any unusual methods to counteract his plan.
*If they did, things truly wouldn’t end well for him.*
As these thoughts crossed his mind, the official from the Huangzhou Prefecture remarked, “The smell of blood here is heavy. The bastard must have fled in this direction!”
At these words, Zhang Liye suggested, “Should we split up and

He stared at Chen Jie, his gaze filled with confusion and shock.
Chen Jie grinned and said, “The Blood-seeking Bee is known as ‘Blood Honey’ in the medicine classics. It’s one of the premium ingredients among the eight treasures used for nourishment. Warm in nature, it’s a tonic often used for blood deficiency and paleness, dizziness, and palpitations. It’s especially beneficial for postnatal recovery in women, earning it the nickname ‘one bee, a hundred cures.'”
“The medicine classics also record methods for breeding Blood-seeking Bees, one of which is called the ‘circle of confinement.'”
“It’s troublesome to rear these bees. They love to fly all over the place, occasionally getting lost—a distressing problem for their keepers. After repeated experiments, bee breeders discovered that Blood-seeking Bees are afraid of lime.”
“So, some beekeepers would draw large circles on the ground with lime to keep the bees confined within that space. That’s what’s known as the ‘circle of confinement.'”
“I took your bloodied outer garment earlier and used it to leave a trail. Along the way, I also disguised certain clues. The Blood-seeking Bee detected two sources of blood scent, but this spot had the stronger aroma, so it wanted to fly here.”
“But I scattered lime. When the bee caught the scent of lime, it instinctively avoided it, taking the path I had arranged instead.”
Hearing this explanation, Ni Manzi’s mouth hung wide open. *What the hell! This kid is terrifyingly meticulous. How could he even come up with something like this? Incredible. Absolutely incredible!*
Ni Manzi found himself becoming increasingly convinced that the young man before him was no ordinary person.
