As the team successfully crossed the Snake Canyon, their journey entered a new stage. Ahead of them awaited a mysterious forest known as the "Misty Forest." It is said that this forest is shrouded in mist year-round, and many who enter never return.
Before entering the Misty Forest, Bei Lin'er called for a team meeting to discuss their crossing strategy. "This forest is full of unknowns, we must be extra careful," Bei Lin'er wrote, her eyes shining with determination.
Peng Yizhi responded, "Should we make some special preparations before entering?"
Bei Lin'er nodded in agreement, "We need to make markers to prevent getting lost in the fog. Also, we should learn to recognize directions and identify natural landmarks."
Under the guidance of Bei Lin'er, the team made a series of small flags and cairns as markers for the return journey. They also learned how to observe the position of the sun and the growth of trees to determine direction.
Fully prepared, the team began to enter the Misty Forest. As soon as they stepped into the forest, thick mist completely enveloped them. With extremely limited visibility, they could only rely on each other's voices and the prepared markers to ensure they wouldn't get lost.
"This mist seems to have a life of its own, constantly changing," Chen wrote, a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
Bei Lin'er responded, "Don't let the mist confuse your mind. We must stay alert."
As they slowly advanced through the mist, a sudden gust of wind dispersed the fog slightly, revealing a hidden path under the tree shadows. Bei Lin'er decisively chose to follow this path.
As they ventured deeper, the scenery in the Misty Forest became increasingly strange. They saw some plants they had never seen before, and even some flowers and peculiar mushrooms that seemed to move.
While crossing through an area filled with exotic flowers, a strange fragrance suddenly wafted over, causing several people in the group to feel dizzy and disoriented. Bei Lin'er quickly reacted, instructing everyone to cover their mouths and noses with cloth.
"These flowers seem to emit a hallucinogenic scent," Bei Lin'er wrote, reminding everyone to avoid these flowers.
After a difficult journey, it was getting late. Bei Lin'er decided to make camp and rest in a relatively open area. The team lit a bonfire in a small clearing, surrounded by lingering mist. In the glow of the fire, the faces of the group showed a solemn and determined expression.
"Tonight, we need to take turns standing guard, just in case," Bei Lin'er said after dinner. Despite their fatigue, everyone understood that in such an environment, they couldn't afford to let their guard down.
It's late at night, and in the quiet forest, the occasional calls of night birds seem to echo the mysterious atmosphere of the Misty Forest. Bei Lin'er sits by the fire, watching the flickering flames, contemplating the journey ahead.
Peng Yizhi walks over and sits beside her, asking, "Ling'er, how far do you think we are from the Cymbidium orchid?"
Bei Lin'er pondered for a moment before responding, "We have already crossed the most difficult part. According to the map, the Cymbidium orchid should be in the nearby valley."
The next day, the team continued their journey. The mist in the Misty Forest seemed even denser than the day before, greatly limiting visibility. Bei Lin'er led the team carefully through this mysterious land.
As they were moving forward, suddenly a deep pit appeared in their path, almost causing the front team members to fall in. Fortunately, the team reacted quickly and stopped in time.
"This forest is really full of danger," wrote a team member, with a look of shock on his face.
"We must be more careful, these traps could be anywhere," Bei Lin'er responded, her eyes flashing with a vigilant light.
Over the next few hours, the team encountered various obstacles and traps, but under Bei Lin'er's leadership, they were always able to cleverly avoid or overcome them.
Finally, as the sun set, they walked out of the Misty Forest and arrived at a vast mountain valley.
The team emerged from the Misty Forest and arrived at a vast mountain valley. The scenery here was incredibly beautiful, with lush greenery and a babbling brook. However, Bei Lin'er knew that their journey was not yet over. According to the map, the Cymbidium orchid should be on the other side of this mountain valley.
"We must cross this mountain valley," Bei Lin'er said to the team, her gaze determined.
The team began to cross the valley, enjoying the pleasant scenery along the way, but they did not let their guard down. Just as they passed through a patch of flowers, suddenly, a team member let out a painful groan as his leg was pricked by an unknown plant.
"What is this?" he asked in pain.
Bei Lin'er quickly stepped forward to inspect and found that it was a rare poisonous plant known as "Ghost Thorn Flower." She knew that if not treated promptly, the toxin would spread rapidly and could even be fatal.
"I'll take care of it," Bei Lin'er said, as she immediately took out the necessary herbs and tools from her medicine pouch.
She carefully removed the venomous stinger and cleaned the wound with herbs and clean water. Then, she prepared a special herbal concoction for the injured person to drink, in order to neutralize the toxins in the body.
"You need to rest," Bei Lin'er said to the injured person. "Everyone else, stop and watch out for a certain thorny flower on the ground. Let's quickly find a safe place to treat the injury."
The team, under the leadership of Bei Lin'er, quickly found a safe place to conduct treatment. On a flat grassland, they swiftly set up temporary shelters in preparation for more thorough treatment.
Bei Lin'er carefully examined the injured person's leg and found that the toxins had begun to spread, causing her to furrow her brow. She took out several different herbs from her medicine pouch and began grinding and mixing them together to create a potent ointment.
"This will be a bit painful, but you must endure," Bei Lin'er said to the injured person, while applying ointment to the wound. Although the injured person's face showed a painful expression, he endured it with determination.
As the medicine took effect, the swelling of the wound gradually subsided, and the injured person's painful expression also relaxed. Bei Lin'er also brewed a pot of special detoxifying tea for him to help expel toxins from his body.
Under the careful care of Bei Lin'er, the condition of the wounded has significantly improved. The other members of the team watched all of this and their admiration for Bei Lin'er grew even stronger.
"We are truly fortunate to have you in the team," Peng Yizhi wrote, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"We are a team, helping each other is only natural," Bei Lin'er responded, her eyes firm and warm.
After resting, the team set off again. Bei Lin'er reminded everyone to pay attention to their steps and avoid getting injured again.
