Section 7 The Garden
In fact, the lack of food has troubled the team from the beginning. Except for Leah and Chen Yan who were prepared, everyone else followed halfway, and their food was all on the way to escape. It was a miracle to be able to hold on for two days. After the initial hunger, people began to search for berries in the jungle to survive, but no one dared to put their ideas on Chen Yan and Leah.
The problem lies in these berries...
In this world, everyone knows that the wild jungle is full of crises and not everyone can take advantage of it. Only experienced veteran mercenaries or demon hunters know how to distinguish harmful plants, while ordinary people can only try their luck. So they are in trouble.
A sweet-looking red berries were collected by them, but after eating them, there were toxic side effects. The victims were red and unconscious, with dense red spots on their skin, and kept muttering. An old man who had worked as a doctor examined the people and came to a conclusion. "Neurotoxin. They were hallucinated by a neurotoxin."
"This toxin is very powerful and can pollute their spirits. If this continues, they will go crazy and die in a few days." The old man said worriedly, but with that, there is no way. This is not a small town, without equipment or potions. It is undoubtedly a fantasy to just rely on these empty-handed escapees to save people. In the end, the young people in the team can only take turns carrying these victims and follow Chen Yan to continue moving forward.
Chen Yan and Lea saw all this, but neither spoke.
"I can't save it." Lea whispered behind Chen Yan. "I don't know what toxin it is, and I don't have an antidote."
"You are just a traveler's granddaughter, don't treat yourself as a savior." Chen Yan replied. He knew how Leah's grandfather died. He also knew how deadly demon toxins are for ordinary people. The berries in the wild look just ordinary fruits. Who knows if they are a collection of demon toxins?
If you want to live in this world, it is best to be less curious.
"Do you have a way?" Leah's eyes lit up.
Chen Yan shook his head. "I can't do anything. I can kill people, but I can't save people."
Chen Yan did not lie about this sentence because he was not good at these. However, as a citizen of China in reality, he naturally knew the so-called natural enemies. There is a balance between heaven and earth, and detoxification is often next to the poison. So if you really want to save people, it is not without basis. It is just that who is willing to do these things? Shennong tastes hundreds of herbs, which is not a cabbage! Do you want the people in the team to taste the plants around them one by one? Do you think it is not too much trouble?
So people can only move forward, hoping to reach the next gathering point as soon as possible and find a quick-acting potion for detoxification.
The jungle is deep, and the deeper it gets, the thinner the sunlight becomes. The crowns above the head are dense like clouds, gradually blocking the penetration of the sun. Chen Yan and his party are in a more and more difficult situation. There are many berries, but people no longer dare to eat them. They can only collect some dew and harmless bark to survive. By the eighth day, they were almost at the end of their lives.
Looking up, the canopy of trees covers the sky and the sun, and the whole jungle seems to have entered the eternal night... However, a place in front of them emits a misty light, like a light in the night.
Chen Yan arranged two men to explore the way, and it was rewarded soon.
"Sir! Sir! I can't believe it, I really don't believe it! There... is a miracle!!"
"Oh my God, I don't know how to describe it! But we must go over... Damn, God testified, there must be heaven there..." The man who explored the way said angrily. He was incoherent and even excited to describe the situation. A few minutes later, Chen Yan knew the environment there, so he ordered everyone to get close.
Through a dark vine, a new world appeared in front of them. A huge flowerbed appeared in the vast jungle, surrounded by huge trees, but the canopy made the place open. The sun shone in from above, warm and comfortable. A breeze hit, causing a little rain of flowers. Wherever the eyes reached, all kinds of rare flowers bloomed, like a dream.
Lea was stunned. She could not imagine why there was such a magical place in the dark jungle. The fragrance of flowers here was like a fog, making everyone who came into contact with them unable to control themselves. The rare flowers were like dreams and picturesque, making her dazzled.
Women are all emotional animals, and Lea is no exception.
"Oh my God... am I dreaming?" Lea whispered in a low voice at the dreamy sea of flowers.
"No, this is not a dream." Chen Yan replied, he took a step forward and protected Lea behind him. But his expression gradually became serious. "This is reality... the last thing he wants to encounter... the reality."
At this moment, stars flashed in the flowerbed, and suddenly there were many tiny flying objects. These flying objects crossed the flowerbed and approached the crowd and flew around everyone.
A young girl was stunned when she saw them. "Oh my God...yes, it's an elf..."
That's right, the ones appearing in front of them were small flower elves. The transparent wings flashing behind them all illustrate their identities. Compared with humans, their size is extremely small, but the small faces are full of hostility.
"That's not an elf...that's...the flower spirit!" an old man shouted in fear.
Flower spirits are a type of weak demons, but they have extremely high wisdom compared to inferior demons. They do not have strong bodies and strength, but they have rare active traits. A flower spirit is not scary, what is scary is a group of flower spirits. When they use their traits in groups, even a city will be swallowed by vines, let alone this small group of people?
And most importantly, flower spirits are not friendly! They tend to be hostile to humans, and only a few flower spirits can communicate effectively!
For them, humans are the cancer of this world!!
"Run, run quickly!"
"This is a trap!"
"She will kill us!!"
The old people shouted, and the fugitives began to stir up and ran backwards. One by one, the humans were tripped and crawled back with their limbs. They looked particularly pitiful.
Only Chen Yan and Lea were left behind.
Chen Yan will not escape, but Lea cannot escape.
"You are my only relative." Lea said, looking at herself holding Chen Yan's hand. "If you die, I can't survive."
"It is very difficult to break life and death." Chen Yan replied, looking at the flower spirit flying above. "I should congratulate you."
As he said that, he took steps towards countless flower spirits...
Not everything in this world requires force to accomplish. Humans learned how to live with demons a long time ago. Otherwise, they would not have lived today.
