The high school Cheng Lin attended was also a key middle school in the city.
The quality of education is naturally very good, and precisely because of the good educational resources, a student like him who struggled with his studies finally passed the second line.
So overall, Cheng Lin's classmates are pretty good.
But there are some special places everywhere, and Zhao Ye is one of them.
Zhao Ye is tall, even slightly taller than Sun Xiao, but his academic performance is a mess.
On weekdays, I have a lot of contact with people outside the school and students from other schools, so I am not very popular in the class.
Cheng Lin didn't expect that he would come over too.
I also brought a few people I didn’t know.
Sun Xiao sighed softly and said: "Those are students from No. 3 Middle School, who are in the same class as us, and are friends of Zhao Ye. He only said he would come at first, and I didn't expect anyone else to come.
, but it should be nothing, we can all take care of it together."
Cheng Lin didn't say anything, but he felt a little disapproving in his heart.
This time everyone's goal is to go into the mountains to find opportunities.
What is opportunity?
There are nothing more than spiritual plants, minerals and other natural and earthly treasures.
Even more mysterious is something like the inheritance of another world.
Cheng Lin didn't know about the other two kinds of spiritual plants, but others didn't know about the easiest spiritual plants to obtain, but Cheng Lin knew that there weren't many in this mountain.
If you really get lucky, how will you divide it up?
If you are a classmate and have been friends for three years, it will be a little better, but with people who have nothing to do with each other, conflicts will inevitably arise.
However, he was only thinking about these in his mind, and ostensibly followed Sun Xiao and walked over to say hello.
"This is Cheng Lin. It looks like no one else will come. Let's wait a little longer. After the projection materializes, we will go into the mountain! I believe we will definitely find an opportunity!" Sun Xiao cheered everyone up.
Zhao Ye glanced at Cheng Lin and said hum.
The other person next to him glanced at Cheng Lin up and down, looked at Sun Xiao with some suspicion, and said, "He? Is that okay? He looks like a weak man, so don't hold him back when the time comes."
This is somewhat unpleasant to say, but compared to the others, Cheng Lin is indeed the thinnest among them.
So this statement is not without purpose.
Sun Xiao's face looked a little ugly.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Cheng Lin smile calmly and say: "Don't worry, I won't trouble you if anything happens."
"That's what you said."
"certainly."
Cheng Lin didn't care about this, and he didn't bother to get angry over such insignificant things.
His purpose was very clear, which was to go into the mountains to get the red fruits and take care of Sun Xiao and the others within his ability.
Naturally, these people didn't know that although Cheng Lin looked physically weaker than them, he was already stronger than all of them after a physical increase in physical fitness.
They were not familiar with each other, so they didn't say much and just waited quietly.
…
On the other side, next to the highway, the personnel of Team 8 of Special Intelligence Division had already begun to clear the area.
The onlookers were forced to leave and park further away.
Shi Jin and others have already arrived at the edge of the "wilderness".
Not only are Terry's combatants behind them, but there are also medical staff and researchers on standby, hundreds of them.
For them, the only purpose of going into the mountains is to explore, and the researchers are mainly responsible for carrying out the exploration tasks. As for the Tris Group 8, they are responsible for opening the way.
"Deputy Director Yang, this is the latest spiritual energy concentration test report."
Shi Jin took a piece of paper from his subordinate and handed it to the man in front of him.
The man is very thin, his face is extremely pale, and he is not tall. He is also wearing a crisp Tris uniform with small lapels. He looks no different from other people. Only when you look closely, you will find some detailed differences in the clothes.
For example, the gold edges on the cuffs, the patterns on the buttons, etc.
At this moment, he was looking at the gradually solidifying projection with his brows furrowed, his thin face full of seriousness.
Hearing this, he turned around and took the report. When he saw the number clearly, his eyebrows suddenly jumped.
"1126 mark?"
Shi Jin nodded and said: "The upper and lower error should not exceed 5 marks."
Hearing this, Yang Congxian, deputy director of the Ninth Special Agents Division, took a deep breath and squinted his eyes and said: "This value is undisputedly the first level in the country."
"yes."
"The ministry's prediction is indeed correct. Before, I was curious as to why this projection was so easily classified as red level. Now seeing is believing. It is indeed not bad."
"The concentration of spiritual energy is one thing, and the other thing is the origin of this thing... Is it really an extraterrestrial civilization? Other worlds?" Shi Jin couldn't help but ask.
Yang Congxian shook his head slowly and said: "I don't know, but I believe there will be some clues soon. I had received the news when I came here. The ministry has organized the highest-level scientific research team. Last time, a small team
Nothing can be learned from the ruins, but this time... we should get some clues."
"You mean..."
Yang Congxian shook his head again and did not elaborate. However, seeing Shi Jin's confused expression, he thought about it and gave him a piece of news: "I heard that there are paleontologists in the Magic City who analyzed the photos and found that there are
Some of the few extraterrestrial plants...are ancient trees that have long since disappeared. For this reason, a dedicated team of archaeologists has followed up, but they are not on our side."
Shi Jin's heart was slightly shocked when he heard this.
Before he could think of anything, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "The projection is solidified!"
When everyone heard the words and raised their heads, they heard a rumble, which was the sound of part of the raised earth in this area being squeezed and crushed by the projection.
At the same time, the entire large-scale projection finally solidified into an entity.
A forest with a strong ancient atmosphere suddenly appears in front of modern people!
Everyone was silent. After a moment, Yang Congxian raised his hand and gave the order: "Get ready! Enter the mountain!"
…
…
The people from the government here marched into the mountain in large numbers.
On the other side, in an inconspicuous corner of the vast mountain forest, Cheng Lin and the others also entered this ancient place in shock.
Perhaps because the physical scene was so shocking, several people forgot to talk and just walked and watched, terrified.
"Why is this tree so tall? Isn't it likely that it will take decades to grow like this?"
"How many decades? I think at least a hundred years!"
"Oh my God, do you think this really comes from other worlds? Don't they say on the Internet that those scientists haven't found any other decent planets yet?"
"Shit! Do you believe what those people say? Do you want them to explain spiritual energy recovery?"
Zhao Ye and his friends, a total of five people, seemed to be a small independent group, looking around in surprise as they walked.
Cheng Lin and Sun Xiao were walking together, neither of them speaking.
Sun Xiao was still immersed in the impact just now and had not come back to his senses.
The reason why Cheng Lin was silent was because he was listening attentively.
The trees in this ancient jungle are tall and dense. I don't know if it's because of the abundant spiritual energy. These trees are extremely tall and have lush crowns, almost blocking out the sky and the sun. The moment you walk in, you feel the light dimming.
It makes one's heart feel a little depressed.
In this environment, Cheng Lin's vision was blocked and he could not see things further away, so he could only rely on his hearing.
And his enhanced hearing also successfully helped him absorb all the sounds in the nearby area.
Blah blah blah...
Swish, swish, swish...
The sound of the wind blowing the branches and leaves of the trees, the calls of some birds hidden deep in the canopy, the footsteps of some sizable animals in the distance, and the noise made by walking through the bushes all turned into messages and came from afar. Cheng Lin
The ears are tucked away.
After simple classification and judgment in his brain, Cheng Lin gradually gained some understanding of the beasts that might exist around him.
A few people are lucky and the area is relatively safe.
As they went deeper, several people also recovered from the initial shock and began to look around excitedly for possible spiritual plants.
According to the information known to people, spiritual plants may grow in places with strong spiritual energy. If they are swallowed, they will have various miraculous effects. If they are placed on the market, they will be extremely valuable.
This is also their primary goal.
"Cheng Lin, this place feels a bit like ancient times to me. Do you feel this way?"
While walking, Sun Xiao suddenly spoke.
"Why do you think so?"
"I can't tell, it's just a feeling, and the tree we just passed by, I think it looks a bit like an ancient plant. I've seen it before when reading some magazines, but I don't recognize other plants at all.
I can't help but come out, it feels very strange." Sun Xiao said slowly.
Cheng Lin smiled slightly and said nothing.
Walking in the forest, there is a dense canopy of trees overhead that blocks the sky and the sun. Only fragments of sunlight shine through the branches and leaves on the ground, forming light golden beams. If you look closely, you can also see fine dust floating in the beams.
.
Walking in this ancient forest, several modern people suddenly felt a sense of insignificance.
As if he were an ant walking into a giant's body, even when he spoke, he subconsciously lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of alarming some unknown existence.
There were many trees on both sides, dense grass, and many flowers, but none of them seemed to be spiritual plants. Cheng Lin and Sun Xiao were okay, but Zhao Ye and the others gradually became a little anxious.
They originally thought that this kind of place must be very magical. After entering, spiritual plants were everywhere and they could pick them at will. They might even have imagined that they would find the inheritance of aliens here.
But the reality is that they have been here for a while and have not found anything yet.
"Is there anything good in this poor place? My feet are numb from walking."
One person said dissatisfiedly.
"Don't be anxious and be patient. I heard that even in the spiritual lands protected by the government in our country, there are very few spiritual plants growing there." Sun Xiao encouraged after hearing this.
Those people didn't seem to hear it at all and continued to complain.
At this moment, a person walking in front suddenly exclaimed, pointed ahead and shouted: "Look! That stone!"
"What stone?"
"No! I'm talking about the grass on the stone!"
When everyone heard this and looked over, their eyes lit up.
Not far in front of them, there was a large stone next to a tree, with a clump of light blue grass growing on it. There was a faint green light floating around it, like a halo, which was extremely magical.
It's different at first glance.
"Is it a spiritual plant?"
"It must be it! Pull it out quickly!"
"I'll go! Don't grab any of you!"
The person at the front was very excited, his eyes were bright, and he ran over in a hurry, as if he was afraid of being robbed by others. He ran a few steps closer and was about to reach out to pick it. Suddenly, he heard a loud shout from behind: "Be careful!"
At the same time, an artifact suddenly struck from behind him.
The man was startled and subconsciously ducked away. The next moment he saw the object flying from behind being inserted into the soil with a "thud" sound.
It’s a folding shovel!
Seeing this scene, the man's face turned pale at first, then turned around and asked with a gloomy face: "Who threw it?!"
"I."
Cheng Lin put away his waving arms, exhaled slowly, then faced the other party's angry eyes and strode forward.
"what are you doing?"
Zhao Ye next to him also looked at Cheng Lin with cold eyes and said, "Cheng Lin, what do you want to do?"
Several people around Zhao Ye took out the knives they carried with them for self-defense and surrounded Cheng Lin.
Even Sun Xiao was shocked and looked at Cheng Lin in confusion.
Facing this scene, Cheng Lin did not look at these people at all, but looked at the plant cautiously.
Eyes full of surprise.
He didn't expect that the first spiritual plant he encountered when entering the mountain was... Shennong grass.
