Senior Brother Zhang, who was walking in front, seemed to notice something and reached out to stop Fan Nuanyang.
Maple Birch also instantly entered a state of alert.
Fan Nuanyang squeezed his arm gently and asked with some fear: "Brother, what happened?"
"Silence, there is movement ahead, please pay attention."
Wait for everyone else to express their understanding and then go to the front.
Fan Nuanyang followed him and moved forward carefully, and the team swept away the atmosphere of laughter and laughter before.
The further you go, the more tense the atmosphere becomes.
Finally, under the leadership of Senior Brother Zhang, everyone jumped directly onto a large leafy tree.
Everyone held their breath and observed through the gaps in the leaves that there was a lake a hundred meters away. In the center of the lake stood a lotus. The petals of the lotus were half-open, like a shy beauty wearing a veil.
Everyone present who recognized the lotus message was very excited.
Some people even excitedly called out its identity, "It's a Chongcai Five-petal Lotus!"
"Keep your voice down, or you will die!"
"It's really the Chongcai Five-petaled Lotus! That spiritual plant that can directly enhance a monk's cultivation by taking it."
“I didn’t expect to see it here!”
Everyone who knew its efficacy stared at the colorful five-petal lotus in the lake that was about to bloom.
But the circle of monsters surrounding the lake made everyone's excitement dissipate in an instant.
If you can't win, you can't win at all.
But it's a little difficult to get them to give up.
This is a treasure that can directly improve your cultivation level on the spot!
Isn’t this better than their hard training every day?
After all, taking shortcuts is really fun!
Everyone present remained motionless, lying on the branches.
It will take some time for the Chongcai Five-petal Lotus to fully open, so the monsters surrounding it just stared at it with salivation, and no one made any rash move.
A disciple asked in a low voice: "Brother, what should I do?"
"What can I do? If any monk dares to show up now, I'm afraid that the group of monsters below will tear him to pieces in an instant."
"Then, do we just give up?"
"Do you want to try it?"
"I think, senior brother, I think." An inconspicuous disciple bravely said it in a low voice.
"The Chongcai Five-petaled Lotus only has five petals at most, and it can only help five people improve their cultivation. There are so many of us, and it's not enough."
Fan Nuanyang: "Brother, it's not a good idea to stay here now. Let's stay away first and discuss it!"
"Okay."
So everyone began to retreat quietly.
When they arrived at a relatively safe place, Senior Brother Zhang made it clear directly: "I have also told everyone about the rarity of this heavy-colored five-petal lotus. You must have some understanding of it. I wonder what your plans are?
Let’s start with the ugly words. This treasure hunt may involve a narrow escape from death, and there are many difficulties. Now that you decide to participate, you can’t back down.”
"I quit."
After the first person expressed his opinion, others also expressed their thoughts.
In an instant, the team was divided into two camps.
Those who gave up felt that none of them together were a match for the monster beasts. If they rushed forward, they would risk their lives. It was better to withdraw as soon as possible, not only to save their lives, but also to find other treasures as soon as possible.
The remaining people want to give it a try and fish in troubled waters.
Regardless of what kind of idea he had, Senior Brother Zhang did not express his opinion. Instead, he looked at Fenghua who was silent and asked, "What do you think?"
Maple Birch: "I quit."
"Junior sister!" Senior Brother Zhang was a little excited and his tone rose a lot.
"Did you forget that you promised to team up with me and help me?"
Fenghua: "But before, I was just worried that my junior brothers and sisters would be in danger easily, so I wanted to take more care of them. But now that several junior brothers and sisters have given up, I naturally can't ignore them."
The monk who was about to leave heard this, and the super enthusiastic senior sister Fenghua began to express her gratitude.
Maple Hua was very unfamiliar with this experience and took a half-step back awkwardly.
"Junior sister, compared to them, we are the ones who need your help the most!"
"Then you can choose to give up. In fact, you know very well that your chances of obtaining the five-petal lotus of heavy color are not high, and you may even lose it. Don't you want to give up even though you know the outcome?"
"Junior sister, the path of a monk is full of dangers. If you retreat when encountering difficulties, how can you have the chance to achieve positive results!"
"Yes, Senior Sister Fenghua, the Chongcai Five-petal Lotus has not appeared in the world for a long time. It's obvious how precious it is, and the danger is nothing at all. Isn't the most fearful thing just giving up without any effort?
Although monsters are scary, they are not very intelligent. We still have time, so we can definitely come up with a good solution!"
Fenghua asked sharply: "Then if you get something, how should you divide it?"
"This?"
"Look at what you're asking, junior sister, it's natural that more work brings more reward. Although the effect of the five-petal lotus in heavy colors is enviable, it doesn't mean that you can't use other things to make up for it!"
"Yes, Junior Sister, don't worry, how could I cheat my Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters? Of course, I adhere to the principle of more work, more reward.
Besides, as the blooming period of the Chongcai Five-petal Lotus gradually comes, more and more monsters will be attracted, and everyone will be more or less taken care of together.
If you act alone, it will be very dangerous!"
Fenghua looked at the monks who wanted to leave and asked, "Do you still insist on leaving?"
"I..."
Perhaps out of concern, everyone who originally wanted to leave finally stayed.
Afterwards, everyone discussed several plans, and finally decided on one without waiting for time.
Everyone moved cautiously, lest they make any noise and attract other monsters.
As the time for the Chongcai Five-petal Lotus to open gets closer and closer, the monsters around the lake gradually become restless.
It was just a small test at the beginning, but as an unlucky guy was squeezed out of the lake, the battle between monsters and beasts began in an instant.
Although low-level monsters do not possess high-level intelligence, the idea of devouring treasures is as if it is engraved in their bones.
Therefore, in the eyes of these monsters, the Chongcai Five-petal Lotus belongs to them, and others are naturally enemies.
The blood there quickly dyed the grass and the lake at the edge red, and there were already many corpses lying on the ground. However, because there were so many monsters, the winner could not be determined for a while.
Seeing this, Senior Brother Zhang waved forward, and a monk in the distance instantly started making noises in one direction of the lake in the courtyard.
It's a pity that the monsters were too involved in fighting, and the sound of attacking in the east and west was too quiet, so this plan fell through immediately.
After that, many people tried to attract the monsters out, but there was no doubt that they all failed.
The faces of a group of people were a little ugly, after all, none of the first few plans they discussed worked.
No choice, Senior Brother Zhang can only lead everyone to get their own things and prepare to fish in troubled waters when the flowers bloom.
