The beehive they discovered this time was located on the branch of a large oak tree with roots planted deep into the ground. Its position was a bit high, peeking out from behind broad leaves. Even with a height like Angus's, he needed to stand on his tiptoes and fully extend his arms to reach it.
Angus had previous experience using thick smoke to smoke out beehives. This time could also be considered practice making perfect, without the slightest clumsiness. Several torches were simultaneously lit using flint. As soon as the flame caught the dry pine branches and wild grass, thick ashen-gray smoke immediately billowed up, almost burying the Minotaur's massive body. Jasmine, standing nearby, smelled the pungent smoke wafting over and was forced to hug Xavier and retreat a bit further to avoid coughing.
