Bei Lin'er listened to Chen's words, pondered for a moment, and then firmly said, "We have all come here, we can't give up like this. If that kind of herb really grows next to the poisonous fragrant flowers, we must find it, but we also can't take too much risk, so we need to make a detailed plan."
The team members sat around the campfire, and Bei Lin'er began to arrange the action plan. She decided to divide the relatively healthier members into small groups, covering their faces with three layers of cloth, taking turns to enter the area where the poisonous fragrant flowers were located to search for that magical herb.
"We must be careful, and if anything seems off, we retreat immediately," emphasized Bei Lin'er.
The team members nodded in agreement, knowing that the upcoming mission was full of danger, but they trusted Bei Lin'er completely.
The next morning, the first group of team members, led by Bei Lin'er, quietly approached the area of the poisonous fragrant flowers. They searched carefully, remaining vigilant of their surroundings.
After several hours of searching, they finally found a few white flowers in a dark and damp place. These flowers looked very ordinary, but emitted a faint, pleasant fragrance, completely different from the smell of the poisonous fragrant flowers.
"This is the detoxifying herb!" Bei Lin'er was overjoyed and carefully collected the flowers.
The team quickly retreated to the base camp, and Bei Lin'er began to research how to cook these herbs into a detoxifying potion. She diligently ground the herbs by the campfire, put them in a pot, added water, and slowly started to boil them.
The team members gathered around the bonfire, quietly observing Bei Lin'er's actions, their eyes shimmering with hope. The air gradually filled with the scent of herbs, distinct from the hallucinogenic aroma of the poison flower.
After a while, the medicinal soup was finally ready. Bei Lin'er carefully distributed the steaming soup to each team member. As they drank the soup, they felt a gradual sense of comfort as their bodies began to recover.
"This herbal remedy really works!" one team member exclaimed with joy.
"I feel much better now. We can finally continue our journey," another team member said, with a long-lost smile on their face.
Bei Lin'er looked at the team members gradually regaining their vitality, feeling a sense of relief in his heart. But their journey is far from over, and there are still more unknown challenges waiting for them ahead.
"We must take advantage of everyone's recovery and continue forward as soon as possible. The Cymbidium orchid should be nearby. Let's rest for the night and set out early tomorrow morning," Bei Lin'er stood up and said firmly.
In the evening, the team reorganized and prepared to set off at the break of dawn the next morning.
The following morning, they once again set out on the road to search for the Cymbidium orchid, with determination and anticipation evident on each person's face.
The team set out in the faint light of early morning, embarking on a journey to the location of the Cymbidium orchid. Bei Lin'er led the way ahead, with a determined and vigilant gaze, carefully guiding the team through the forests and streams, avoiding any potential dangers.
As they ventured deeper into the forest, the surrounding environment became increasingly tranquil and mysterious. Ancient trees with dense branches and lush leaves blocked out the sun, with only a sliver of light piercing through the canopy to illuminate their path. The air was filled with the moist scent of earth and a faint floral fragrance, bringing a sense of calmness while also adding an air of mystery. Bei Lin'er occasionally paused, carefully listening to the sounds around them to ensure there were no unknown dangers approaching.
The team members maintained close communication with each other, carefully following Bei Lin'er's footsteps to avoid getting lost in the dense woods. Their emotions were a mix of nervousness and anticipation, as each person was aware of the extraordinary significance of this adventure.
On the way, they encountered some natural obstacles, such as swift streams and steep cliffs. It was difficult. Whenever they encountered a stream, they would look for the narrowest point to jump across; when facing a cliff, they would search for the most stable rocks to climb. Along this journey, the team's tacit understanding and unity were put to the ultimate test, but also significantly strengthened.
Just as they passed through a dense forest and arrived at an open area, suddenly there was a commotion in the sky. Bei Lin'er immediately gave instructions for everyone to hide in the nearby bushes. Through the cracks in the leaves, they saw a group of mysterious knights patrolling the clearing. These knights were dressed in black armor, veiled their faces, and held long spears, clearly members of some secret organization.
"It seems we have entered the territory of a certain power," Bei Lin'er said in a low voice to the team members beside her, her eyes revealing caution and vigilance.
After the knights left, the team continued to move forward. Bei Lin'er specifically reminded everyone to be more careful and avoid unnecessary conflicts. Their goal was to find the Cymbidium orchid, not to engage in fighting with others.
As the team delved deeper into the mountains, the weather became increasingly unstable. A sudden downpour engulfed them in a curtain of rain. Bei Lin'er immediately directed the team to find shelter, but in the mountain forest, this was no easy task.
"Everyone, find a place to take cover!" Bei Lin'er shouted loudly, leading the way through the forest.
However, fate played a cruel trick on them. Just as they were trying to find shelter, a sudden flash flood erupted, and the surging water swept in, trapping them in a dangerous position. Bei Lin'er reacted quickly, directing everyone to climb to higher ground nearby.
"Hurry, run to the higher ground over there!" she shouted as she ran.
The team members struggled to make progress on the slippery muddy ground, while the roar of the mountain flood sounded right behind them, causing great fear and panic. Bei Lin'er led the way ahead, guiding the team steadily, but the situation was clearly very critical.
Suddenly, a team member slipped and was almost swept away by the swift water. Bei Lin'er quickly turned around and reached out to pull him up. At that moment, Peng Yizhi and several other team members rushed to help. They held hands and finally escaped the onslaught of the flood by a hair's breadth.
"Is everyone okay?" Bei Lin'er looked at everyone with concern in her eyes.
"Everyone is okay, thanks to Senior Bei Lin'er," a team member replied, panting heavily.
The sudden mountain flood made Bei Lin'er realize that this journey was far more dangerous and difficult than she had imagined. But she knew that now was not the time to stop; they had to keep moving forward.
"We need to hurry while the weather is slightly better, we can't stay here for long," Bei Lin'er said, leading the team forward once again.
After this thrilling escape, everyone in the team became even more alert, carefully continuing to move forward under Bei Lin'er's lead. They crossed the wetlands after the rain, stepping on slippery stones, every step filled with difficulty.
At sunset, they finally arrived at a relatively safe place and prepared to camp and rest. Bei Lin'er sat by the campfire, gazing solemnly at the flames, pondering the reasons why the explorers did not pursue them.
He thought to himself, "Do they think that their teammates are all poisoned by the fragrant flowers, so there's no need to chase, or are there unforeseeable dangers on this path?"
