(Tip: This chapter contains poison, eat with caution)
Isn't this thing very rare?
There are only a lot of them in the valley around here, but they have all been picked by me. I didn't expect that many people would meet them.
Good luck indeed.
"I just want to save you."
Cheng Lin withdrew his gaze and gently pulled out the folding shovel.
He said calmly: "Look carefully, what else is on the stone?"
What to see?
Several people looked at him and were startled.
Then I looked at them carefully with suspicion, and then the collective color changed.
Under the Shennong grass, there is a small black snake, which is very inconspicuous. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.
"If you want to pick it, you need to get rid of it first, otherwise you will die if you don't reach out rashly."
Cheng Lin explained.
The young man who was forced back by his shovel turned pale, but still insisted: "Who are you trying to scare? What is there to be afraid of such a small snake?"
Cheng Lin ignored him, but raised the folding shovel and came out of its sensing range. He held his breath and concentrated, and swung the shovel suddenly.
"clang!"
The metal struck the stone, cutting the sleeping snake into two pieces, and some black-red liquid sprayed out and sprinkled on the ground, making a stinging sound.
Where blood spilled, the grass turned black.
Cheng Lin breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to take off the Shennong grass.
"That'll be fine."
Sun Xiao witnessed this scene from the side, and while being frightened, he looked at Cheng Lin with a somewhat surprised look.
In his memory, Cheng Lin was indeed a very inconspicuous student in the class, but he never expected that he would be so courageous.
Especially the eyes are so good...
"I didn't expect this thing to be so hidden. Fortunately you discovered it, otherwise it would be really troublesome."
Sun Xiao said with some fear, and then turned to those people and said, "It seems that you have wrongly blamed Cheng Lin. You should apologize to him."
The faces of those people were gloomy and uncertain after hearing this.
Before setting off, they said they were afraid that Cheng Lin would cause trouble to them.
Looking back on this now, it seems a bit ridiculous.
When several people heard this, they didn't speak, they just looked at the man who almost died.
"...Thank you, thank you."
The man hesitated for a moment, feeling deeply embarrassed, and managed to squeeze out a word of thanks through his teeth.
Cheng Lin didn't care, shook his head and said, "You're welcome."
With that said, he was ready to put the Shennong grass in his backpack.
Seeing his action, the guy who had just finished saying thank you suddenly said urgently:
"What are you going to do? I obviously saw this first!"
Several other people also nodded:
"Yeah, we saw this first. What do you want to do?"
"It's not good if you take it away."
Seeing Lingzhi right in front of them, several young people were a little jealous.
After all, this tender and weak piece of grass is worth far more than gold.
Cheng Lin frowned.
He didn't originally have the intention of being alone. His goal was only Zhu Guo, and everything else was dispensable.
The reason why I want to put it in my backpack is because it is inconvenient to hold it in my hand.
But I didn't expect these people to react so strongly.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Sun Xiao suddenly standing in front of him, frowning and saying:
"We are all classmates, don't argue,
I owe all this plant collection to Cheng Lin.
Otherwise, one of our people is likely to die here,
According to merit, it is natural for him to take it.
Nothing is as precious as life,
Besides, the mountain is so big,
Everyone behind us will gain something.”
"Sun Xiao! Stop pretending to be a good person. You two are classmates, but we are not!"
"Why give it to him? Whoever sees it has a share."
"that is!"
Sun Xiao was also a little angry when he heard this, and turned to look at Zhao Ye: "What do you think?"
Zhao Ye, who had been relatively silent since the call came in, his eyes moved slightly when he heard this.
Looking at Cheng Lin, his eyes were a little fiery: "Cheng Lin, it stands to reason that you just saved someone, so I should really thank you, but gratitude is one thing, and the ownership of things is another.
The poisonous nature of the snake is not yet certain, and besides, it is true that you were not the first to see the spiritual plant.
In this way, it would be a bit unreasonable for you to take it all for yourself."
Sun Xiao looked in disbelief when he heard this. He didn't expect Zhao Ye to have the same attitude.
After all, we have been classmates for three years, so why should we tear ourselves apart just for such a piece of grass?
Besides, I just saved your lives!
How could this be?
Sun Xiao felt a little angry and was about to say a few more words.
Suddenly, I heard Cheng Lin speak coldly behind me.
"It's just a piece of grass. I'm not as dirty as you think. But since you said it yourself, whoever sees it will have a share. I saw it and Sun Xiao saw it too. It shouldn't all belong to you."
Cheng Lin said.
In fact, he personally really doesn't care about it.
After all, I picked ten plants when I did the mission.
In fact, he didn't bother to argue with these people, but since those who said they met had a share, then Sun Xiao also had a share in it.
Cheng Lin could say that he didn't want it anymore, but he couldn't completely give it to these people on Sun Xiao's behalf.
Zhao Ye and the others didn't say anything, they just glared hard at the companion who said before, "Everyone who meets you has a share."
The atmosphere was a little tense.
In the end, Sun Xiao sighed and came out to smooth things over and said:
"Okay, there are dangers here. Everyone needs to take care of each other and don't argue over such trivial matters. We will definitely find more spiritual plants in the future. This is just a good start... Otherwise, everyone should just set up a distribution rule.
, how about to avoid further conflicts?"
As soon as these words came out.
Several people looked at each other and said, "Okay."
After a pause, Zhao Ye came out and said: "Let me propose a plan. According to the number of people,
There are seven of us in total,
This thing definitely can't be scored, the value of the whole tree is high.
Just divide it equally according to head count,
How about we split the money when we go out to sell it?"
Facing Zhao Ye's proposal, Cheng Lin's face showed no emotion, and he didn't care about it at all.
Sun Xiao nodded: "No problem."
Dividing by head is the simplest way.
Seeing that no one objected, Zhao Ye changed the topic and suddenly said:
"Then it's settled,
But there is one more thing I want to mention,
Although it is simple to divide the heads equally,
But if you encounter a special treasure,
Or someone found it alone,
Then it will be difficult to distribute, and conflicts will easily arise.
To avoid possible problems,
I suggest that we act separately."
separate?
Sun Xiao didn't react for a moment, and his eyes widened. In his opinion, everyone can help each other by acting together, and it is unwise to separate.
Cheng Lin next to him thought it was a good idea to separate.
If Sun Xiao hadn't been in the middle, he would have been too lazy to join these people.
However, he always felt that Zhao Ye's proposal seemed to have other motives.
really.
I heard several of Zhao Ye's friends immediately express their stance, saying that they would go with Zhao Ye, and they would advance and retreat together.
Zhao Ye sighed deliberately when he heard this, wondering: "Okay then...
But in this case, there are only five of us here.
You are two,
five to two,
We have a larger proportion,
This spiritual plant is temporarily placed with us,
How about we contact you for distribution after we get out?"
At the same time, these people began to move their positions, vaguely surrounding the two of them, with tacit and cold expressions.
Cheng Lin was silent.
Sun Xiao was silent.
At this time, the two people completely understood what Zhao Ye meant.
All distribution rules are false.
Their real purpose is to separate and then take the Shennong Grass based on their numerical superiority.
And once the Shen Nong Cao falls into their hands, it is obviously impossible to split the money.
Sun Xiao's face turned red.
He was really angry.
From Sun Xiao's point of view, everyone is a classmate. Even if those few people are not, they are still companions. How can they be so shameless for such a small thing?
It sounds high-sounding, but any fool can see what it actually means.
Sun Xiao didn't understand and was very angry.
Cheng Lin could see clearly that after all, Sun Xiao had just graduated from high school and was not so realistic, while Zhao Ye and the others were more practical and explicit.
Cheng Lin laughed.
He thinks this is good.
Although they were not familiar with each other before, considering that they were all human beings, he was willing to take care of them a little bit.
But now that the other party is like this, he can let go of some of his psychological burden.
"I think it's okay." Cheng Lin nodded.
This made Zhao Ye and others both surprised and happy.
They thought that Cheng Lin would definitely be unwilling, but since it could be resolved peacefully, it would be best if they could do it without taking action. They were unwilling to do so, so there was no need to waste energy.
"Sun Xiao, what do you mean?" Zhao Ye looked at Sun Xiao again.
Looking at Sun Xiao's suppressed red face, Zhao Ye thought for a while and said, "Or, you can come with us."
He said this, but in his mind he was thinking of defeating them one by one. Separating Cheng Lin and Sun Xiao first would make it easier to deal with Sun Xiao alone.
"I...I'm going with Cheng Lin!"
Sun Xiao spat out these words through his teeth, his eyes filled with disgust.
"Don't you just want to share it with us? To put it bluntly, there's no need to act! I'm not too interested in a piece of broken grass! You want it to be taken!"
After a pause, Sun Xiao turned to look at Cheng Lin again and said guiltily:
"Cheng Lin, let's go together. We can't share this spiritual plant. But if we find the spiritual plant later, I don't want it and I'll compensate you for it!"
From Sun Xiao's point of view, he was the one who brought Zhao Ye and the others into the team, so now that Cheng Lin is going to suffer, he, as the organizer, is naturally responsible.
Zhao Ye and others looked a little ugly.
But he didn't say anything.
Cheng Lin's heart warmed slightly and he smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Then he turned around, met the eyes of those people, threw the fluorescent spiritual plant over, and said nonchalantly: "Then it's up to you. However, you have a life to take things, and you have a life to enjoy them. Ask for more.
Lucky for you, let’s go first.”
After saying that, he pulled Sun Xiao and left quickly to the west, his steps were very fast, even a little hurried, as if he was in a hurry.
After entering the woods and out of sight of Zhao Ye and others, Cheng Lin simply pulled Sun Xiao and started running.
"Cheng Lin, why are we walking so fast? It's such a waste of energy. Hey, why are we still running?"
Sun Xiao asked with a confused look on his face.
Cheng Lin smiled faintly and did not explain, but looked deeply to the east.
His ears moved slightly, and through his extraordinary hearing, he had already sensed danger approaching.
So naturally you have to evade quickly.
As for Zhao Ye and the others who haven't discovered the danger yet... they can only hope for good luck.
…
Where Shennong Cao was discovered.
Zhao Ye and the others couldn't help but laugh as they watched the two of them leave quickly and disappear from sight.
Then his eyes started to heat up as he looked at the Lingzhi in his hand.
But only after a moment.
Several people suddenly heard an obvious rumbling sound that quickly came from far to near.
Boom boom boom.
It seemed like a wild beast was running around.
Several people hurriedly climbed up to take a look.
I could only vaguely see a dark purple wild boar-like creature running towards me in the forest in the distance.
Its fangs are curved, its tail is extra long, and its end is knob-shaped, as if it has a meteor hammer stuck in its butt.
They were crushed along the road and the grass fell down, the sound was terrifying.
"Then...what is that?"
someone exclaimed.
Several people's faces suddenly turned pale, and their whole bodies were filled with cold!
