from her which would bring her closer to
the bee's nest she would just need to
wait an additional hour and with it
being only 1:00 in the afternoon an
extra hour was manageable resolved guon
tion calmed her nerves and directed her
gaze vaguely towards the large Jade B
she dared not fixate on it for too long
as an intense stare might draw its
attention after 10 minutes the the large
Jade be remained suspended in low air
had its wings not been vibrating gonon
might have thought it was asleep she
quickly changed her Direction realizing
that this approach might be even safer
getting closer to the bee's nest offered
a greater Assurance before long she
found another suitable exit and
utilizing the cloaks invisibility effect
effortlessly slipped into the opposite
Thicket with an hour to wait gu tontion
slowly made her way towards the bee nest
careful not to stray too far she paused
just out of sight of the nest which was
remarkably close to the ground a key
reason for her confidence after all if
the nest were elevated the Smoke's
efficacy would be greatly diminished
requiring much longer to inflict harm
position so low it was as if the smoke
were being pumped directly into the nest
allowing it to permeate quickly the
large iron Barrel she had collected held
nearly 40 PBS of inferior coal if she
couldn't drive the Jade B's away within
a short time it wouldn't matter she
could remain hidden here as the coal
would not burn out swiftly gon tion had
thoroughly mapped out her plans the
potential outcomes and her counter
measures anything unexpected would be
dealt with as it came adaptive responses
would be necessary with her protective
gear and teleportation abilities death
was an impossibility at worst she might
waste a day ass time and resources
however without effort how could one
hope for reward lying in The Refuge one
would gain nothing over prolonged
periods even the best cards could turn
into worthless ones building a solid
foundation was essential to treating the
game as a holiday a an hour swiftly
passed gu tontion cautiously approached
observing the external situation JB's
were continuously entering and exiting
the nest while a larger Jade beged the
entrance a site gon tion had previously
overlooked unfortunately the time had
been too limited for a detailed
examination in the next moment she
immediately cloaked herself as the
larger Jade be shifted directions now
facing her had it sensed her presence
without a moment's hesitation she chose
to remain invisible and hasten towards
the thicket fortunately everything had
been prepared in advance preventing her
from wasting Precious Moments in a
flurry of activity though the thicket
was the closest it still lay five or 6 M
away under her cloak she concealed a
staff instead of a broom the distance
was too short and if she stopped
abruptly she risked stumbling running
was the safest option I in the thicket
her speed was insufficient and it took
her 10 seconds to emerge after setting
up the smoke Barrel she was left with
just 20 seconds a that moment a gentle
breeze wafted through the breathable
opening of the iron Barrel causing the
inferior coal to ignite releasing a
billowing cloud of smoke that surged
towards the bees nest jonon veiled
experienced no adverse effects despite
the proximity save for a slight
irritation to her eyes crouching Beneath
The Nest she was enveloped by a
deafening hum squinting to see that a
multitude of Jade B's was frantically
darting out from the nesus entrance the
smoke was so thick that coupled with her
tear-filled eyes visibility was poor yet
it was not just the buzzing that filled
her ears dozens of Jade bees overwhelmed
