As Bei Lin'er and her team followed the guidance of the ancient map and letters deeper into the heart of Canglong Peak, they discovered a secluded valley. In the valley, lush trees surrounded a clear stream that flowed gently. The air was filled with a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
Just as they were about to further explore, they suddenly noticed a group of unfamiliar adventurers quietly observing them not far away. The adventurers were well-equipped, clearly also in search of the legendary Cymbidium orchid. Bei Lin'er and her team immediately became alert, staring at the other group.
"They might also be here to look for the Cymbidium orchid," Peng Yizhi said in a low voice, his eyes flashing with vigilance.
"How should we handle this?" Li Lei asked, gripping the hilt of his sword, ready to fight at any moment.
Bei Lin'er gazed at the group of masked adventurers, took a deep breath, and ultimately decided to first understand their intentions. "Let's go talk to them first and see if we can reach some kind of consensus," she said firmly.
The team slowly approached the other group, with Bei Lin'er leading the way. When the two sides were close enough, Bei Lin'er spoke up: "We have no intention of being enemies with you. We are all here for the same purpose."
A tall, masked man among the group of adventurers stepped forward, his eyes revealing a hint of distrust. "Who are you? And why are you here?"
"We are here to search for the Cymbidium orchid," Bei Lin'er replied, her tone calm but resolute. "Perhaps we can help each other, after all, this place is full of unknowns and dangers."
The man fell silent for a moment, as if weighing Bei Lin'er's words. "The Cymbidium orchid is precious, we cannot share it with outsiders."
"We don't need your Cymbidium orchid, we just hope to pass through this area safely," Bei Lin'er said, her eyes shining with sincerity.
The other party was obviously hesitant, but eventually nodded in agreement to temporary cooperation. "Alright, but we need to stay vigilant. Any unusual actions, and we will take immediate action."
"Agreed." Bei Lin'er nodded, then turned to his own team and said, "Let's continue forward, but stay alert."
With the temporary alliance of the two teams, they continued to venture deeper into the valley. This cooperative relationship was built upon mutual suspicion and vigilance, where any misstep from either side could lead to conflict.
They traversed winding paths, crossed over rocks and streams. Along the way, both sides maintained a certain distance, observing each other's every move.
Night falls, and two teams have set up their camps in the valley. The valley is filled with mystery and danger at night, and everyone remains vigilant while resting.
Bei Lin'er sits by the campfire, gazing at the leaping flames, her mind filled with deep contemplation. She knows that temporary cooperation with this group of strangers is a double-edged sword, potentially bringing help or erupting into conflict at any moment.
Peng Yizhi walked up to Bei Lin'er and whispered, "Senior Bei Lin'er, can we really trust them?"
Bei Lin'er shook her head gently, her gaze deep. "We can only cooperate temporarily. We must remain vigilant at all times and be prepared to deal with any possible changes."
It's late at night, and the sounds in the valley become clearer. In the distance, there are the roars of wild beasts, while nearby, the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves can be heard. All of this makes the night in the valley seem even more mysterious.
The next morning, Bei Lin'er and her team set off again under the watchful gaze of unfamiliar adventurers. As they ventured deeper into the valley, the journey became increasingly difficult.
The crowd passed through rugged mountain roads, traversed dense jungles, and occasionally had to be careful to avoid lurking wild beasts.
Bei Lin'er remained vigilant towards the unfamiliar masked adventurers, while also searching for clues about the Cymbidium orchid. According to the guidance on the ancient map, they should be close to their destination.
At this moment, a masked and unknown explorer suddenly discovered a hidden path deep in the jungle. Excitedly, he shouted to everyone, "Here! This path seems to lead to the depths of the valley!"
Bei Lin'er and Peng Yizhi quickly stepped forward to inspect and confirmed that the path matched the description on the map. They decided to continue forward along this road.
As they delved deeper, the environment became increasingly strange. Ancient trees surrounded them, exotic flowers and plants covered the ground, everything seemed to come from another world.
In the depths of the mysterious garden of Canglong Peak, Bei Lin'er and her team were attracted by a strange fragrance. The air in the garden was filled with a dizzying scent, surrounded by various exotic flowers and plants. The team members took deep breaths, but gradually felt dizzy and weak.
"Quick, cover your mouth and nose with a cloth!" Bei Lin'er urgently shouted. She quickly took out a piece of cloth from her waist and tightly covered her mouth and nose, despite already having a veil covering her face and having inhaled only a small amount.
Her team members also followed suit, but some of them had already been affected by the poisonous incense, swaying unsteadily as they stood.
At this moment, Bei Lin'er noticed the masks worn by the group of unfamiliar adventurers. She was startled, realizing that this could be a trap. "They deliberately led us here!" this thought flashed through her mind.
Peng Yizhi and Li Lei also realized the abnormality, and they looked vigilantly at the group of masked adventurers, only to find that they were not affected by the poisonous incense flowers.
"Sister Bei Lin'er, this is a trap!" Peng Yizhi whispered.
Bei Lin'er frowned, knowing that the most important thing now was to find a way to escape. "Everyone, retreat to a safe place first, then we can figure out a plan," she ordered.
Under Bei Lin'er's leadership, the team slowly and laboriously retreated, trying to escape from the garden filled with poisonous fragrance. However, their movement was blocked by a group of masked adventurers.
"Where do you want to go? It's already late," a masked adventurer said coldly, seemingly prepared to deal with Bei Lin'er.
"We didn't provoke you, why are you doing this?" Bei Lin'er asked firmly, enduring the discomfort in her body.
The masked adventurer sneered, "The Cymbidium orchid is not something anyone can obtain. We naturally cannot let outsiders easily acquire it."
