Chapter 172 There may be danger
Shen Li and Xing Yun walked very quickly.
Sometimes they climbed up the steep cliffs, and the gravel under their feet inadvertently slid down, making crisp sounds.
Accompanied by each of their nervous and rapid breathing.
Shen Li frowned, and pointed firmly at the hidden path on the left: "This way, I feel this road is closer."
Xingyun shook his head, his eyes revealing an unquestionable determination: "No, the road on the right is wider, but it is safer. We don't need to take risks."
Xinghan stood between the two of them, frowning slightly. He looked around, trying to find a compromise, but finally sighed:
"We should discuss it first to avoid wasting time and energy."
Just as the three were preparing to discuss further, Shen Li's eyes suddenly lit up. She squatted down and carefully pushed aside a bunch of weeds, revealing a few herbs emitting faint fluorescence. "Look! This is moonlight grass, it will definitely help with the formation!" She said with a hint of excitement.
However, Xingyun wrinkled his nose and took a closer look with a skeptical look on his face: "This... are you sure? Why do I feel that it is more like an ordinary wild flower, nothing special?"
Shen Li's face changed slightly when she heard this. She raised her head and looked at Xing Yun sharply: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! I have studied ancient books, this is definitely Moonlight Grass!"
Xingyun's tone also became tough: "So what if I've studied it? I've lived here for more than ten years, how could I not know? We can't just draw conclusions based on speculation."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the tension between the two grew stronger and stronger, and it seemed that it would explode at any time.
However, at this critical moment, both of them thought of Xinghan at the same time.
Xinghan, as a core member of their team, always uses his gentle yet powerful voice to guide everyone back to rationality and unity when the team faces disagreements.
What he often said -
"We are a team and should trust and support each other"——
It was as if the words were echoing in their ears at this moment, reminding them of their common goals and responsibilities.
Thinking of this, a warm feeling surged in Shen Li and Xing Yun's hearts.
Shen Li was the first to break the silence. She looked at Xingyun and said, "Team..."
Xingyun also replied apologetically, "Did you remember my father?"
Shen Li murmured to herself, "Although I don't know what Senior Xinghan means, I always feel that he is right. He usually treats me kindly and gently, without any airs of an elder. He likes to say that we are Tim. A team, a team."
Xingyun also realized that no matter how chaotic the outside world is, as long as everyone's hearts are connected, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome.
So, they each put away the anger on their faces, took a deep breath, and tried to calm themselves down.
Shen Li's eyes were filled with both apology and gratitude: "Maybe I was too impulsive. We should analyze and verify together as Xinghan said."
Xingyun also nodded in agreement: "That's right, we are a Tim, a team, we can't hurt the harmony because of a small matter. Your point of view has its reasons, we can study it carefully again."
In this way, the two found their own way to resolve the conflict by recalling Xinghan's mediation method.
On the other hand, Xinghan embarks on a journey alone to find star stones and rare materials.
The surrounding environment is mysterious and full of dangers. The sunlight shines through the dense tree canopy, casting mottled light and shadows, covering this unknown land with a mysterious veil.
Xinghan thought of Shen Li who was with Xingyun, and felt a little lonely going on an adventure alone.
"How about letting Xiaobai come... Wait, Master Bai Zang is my gatekeeper and guard of the courtyard. It would not be appropriate if I let Xiaobai come out from the courtyard system." Thinking of this, Xinghan decided to summon the baby giant beast from the courtyard system.
So, a minute later, the little fur ball Jinqiu, wearing an armor bellyband, jumped out from behind the tree trunk.
It hit Xinghan in the face.
"Well, you've gained weight." Xinghan greeted him, "You didn't eat and drink too much in the courtyard and made me broke, did you?"
"Of course not." The little fur ball Jinqiu tried hard to hug Xinghan's face with his short hands, but still failed to achieve the result of making friends with each other's fingers.
"Fortunately, you don't have body odor." Xinghan pulled it off his face, and it followed him hopping at his feet. Its eyes, which seemed to be able to see through the slightest details, were always alert to the movements around it, which made Xinghan feel more at ease.
Just as they went deeper into a dark forest, a subtle but rapid rustling sound came from the grass not far away.
Xinghan immediately stopped, tightly grasped the dagger in his hand, and whispered to Jinqiu:
"Be careful, there might be danger." Jin Qiu also stopped playing, pricked up his ears, widened his eyes, and stared at the source of the sound together with Xinghan.
Suddenly, a colorful cobra jumped out from the grass. Its body was in a heart-pounding bright color, and its tongue moved rapidly, making a threatening "hissing" sound.
Xinghan's heartbeat quickened, but he did not panic. He quickly stepped back a few steps, and signaled Jinqiu to keep quiet with his eyes. The cobra seemed to be angered by the two people's movements, and slowly unfolded its deadly body, ready to attack.
At this moment, Jinqiu seemed to realize something. It jumped lightly onto Xinghan's shoulder, and then took out a small medicine bottle from Xinghan's backpack at an incredible speed.
Xinghan understood what he meant and quickly opened the bottle and sprinkled the powder inside on the cobra. This was a special snake repellent powder, which instantly made the cobra feel uncomfortable. It gave up the attack and quickly twisted its body to escape back into the deep bushes.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other. This unexpected encounter brought them closer together. Not long after they continued walking, they encountered another magical and poisonous spider.
The spider is huge, covered in silver hair that glitters brightly in the sun, and has long, powerful legs with crystal clear venom sacs hanging at the ends.
Facing such an opponent, Xinghan did not act rashly. He carefully observed the spider's habits and found that it seemed to be very sensitive to sounds of a certain frequency.
So he used the small flute on his body to play a melodious and slightly strange melody.
As expected, the spider was attracted by the sound and slowly approached them, but just as it was about to enter the attack range, Xinghan suddenly changed the rhythm and tone of the melody. The spider suddenly became confused and chaotic, and eventually lost its way and disappeared into the dense foliage.
After these two thrilling encounters, the tacit understanding between Xinghan and the little fur ball Jinqiu became even deeper.
"Wow, is that a star stone?" The little fur ball Jinqiu asked excitedly, staring at an ordinary stone not far ahead.
