Chapter 320 Encountering Danger
Since the other party clearly stated that they only needed herbs, Yan led everyone on a journey to find them, and finally arrived at a certain place.
What appears before us is an extremely peculiar plant. Its leaves are enormous, and the edges of each leaf are covered with dense, sharp teeth, making it awe-inspiring.
Faced with such a strange plant that she had never seen before, Ruan Mianmian felt helpless.
In fact, even Ruan Mianmian herself was unsure whether this was the necessary herb, let alone what its effects and functions were.
Despite her attempts to communicate with the system, even after a thorough and meticulous scan, the conclusion was still disheartening—the plant seemed to be a species unique to the Beastman Continent, and the system was unable to accurately determine which plant it was or what specific therapeutic effects it possessed.
Just as Ruan Mianmian was deeply worried about this matter, Sen, who had been silent all along, suddenly stepped forward.
He gripped the steel knife Ruan Mianmian had given him tightly, and his previously calm gaze instantly sharpened like that of a hawk.
Then, Sen began to cautiously approach the strange herb, carefully avoiding its fang-like, tooth-like leaves.
Just then, Sen suddenly quickened his pace, swiftly extending his right hand to precisely pinch the base of one of the leaves. Without hesitation, he made a sharp cut, cleanly severing the entire leaf in an instant.
Just then, the seemingly ordinary plant swayed slightly, as if it had been touched by a gentle breeze.
However, after such a slight movement, it returned to its original still state and no further noticeable changes occurred.
Sen carefully picked a leaf from the plant and slowly handed it to Ruan Mianmian, saying solemnly, "This leaf is quite dangerous! Look, the serrations on the edge of that leaf aren't just for show; they carry deadly toxins. If you accidentally touch it, you'll feel an unbearable itch all over your body—it's simply unbearable. I've personally witnessed older wise men using this before, apparently to treat thorny ailments like festering wounds. However, I can't guarantee its exact efficacy right now, but it should be fairly accurate."
Ruan Mianmian reached out and steadily took the leaf, secretly relieved.
In any case, after all the twists and turns, we still gained something, even though the gains don't seem very satisfactory.
She turned her gaze to the peculiar plant with serrated leaves again, hesitated for a long time, and finally shook her head helplessly, completely giving up the idea of taking it for herself.
After all, even though his own money was dwindling, it would be a huge loss if his orc companions were to get injured or poisoned as a result.
In Ruan Mianmian's eyes, the safety and health of her companions were far more important than the insignificant monetary benefits.
Therefore, it's better to avoid herbs with potential risks like these!
However, as everyone was leaving, Ruan Mianmian specifically looked at Yan and said, "I hope the next location is for ordinary herbs, not this kind of thing. Don't try to play tricks on me. I'll let it go this time, but if you try anything again next time, I can't guarantee I won't get angry."
After speaking, Ruan Mianmian gestured for Black Panther to lead the way to the next place.
Only then did the others realize that they had been deceived by the black panther. They immediately bared their teeth at the black panther, looking as if they wanted to tear him apart!
This is because Mori happened to know the plant's function; if none of them knew and went up rashly, they would all inevitably get hurt.
That black panther is truly treacherous!
Yan was startled by Ruan Mianmian's words, not expecting that her little scheme had been seen through.
However, he absolutely could not admit it, so he could only pretend that he didn't know and continue walking forward while holding his nose.
However, he dared not try to be clever this time. Didn't he see that snake-beastman staring at him menacingly?
Old Yan honestly led everyone to the next place.
The grass here is lush and green, and various common medicinal herbs are scattered throughout.
Ruan Mianmian was overjoyed and immediately directed the beastmen to gather the materials.
Just then, a deep roar came from afar.
The orcs became alert, and Sen stood in front of Ruan Mianmian. A huge beast slowly emerged, its eyes fiercely fixed on the group.
"Oh no, it's a Wilderness Giant Rhinoceros. These things have thick hides and are very difficult to deal with," Ye said nervously.
Ruan Mianmian secretly groaned in her heart; this giant rhinoceros of the wilderness did indeed seem to be not to be trifled with.
Sen immediately switched to his beast form and whispered, "Everyone be careful and follow my instructions."
Yan whispered from the side, "The weakest point of this giant rhinoceros is its eyes. If we can hit its eyes, we might still have a chance of winning."
Ye scoffed dismissively: "Who can get close to its eyes?"
At this moment, the giant rhinoceros of the wilderness suddenly charged, and the earth trembled.
Mori shouted, "Spread out!"
The beastmen quickly scattered in all directions, leaving the giant rhinoceros unsure which target to pursue.
By this time, Ruan Mianmian had already been led by Sen to the top of a giant tree branch. Giant rhinoceroses cannot climb trees, and this tree was thick enough that the little female would not be in danger for a short time.
At this moment, No and Hikaru also transformed into their beast forms and stood ready. As soon as the giant rhinoceros moved, they would immediately rush forward.
Yan was also annoyed at this moment, wondering how he had run into such a big guy!
Sen hissed at Yan, and Yan understood that Sen meant he had deliberately brought them to this dangerous place.
In an instant, Yan transformed into his beast form and stood among the beastmen, his meaning clear.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sen leaped high into the air, immediately attempting to entangle the giant rhinoceros. Upon noticing this, the giant rhinoceros turned and tried to butt Sen with its horns.
At this critical moment, Yan rushed over and bit the giant rhinoceros's hind leg, while Ye and the other orcs also rushed to help.
After struggling for a while, the giant rhinoceros was finally overwhelmed by the forest and collapsed to the ground.
Sen slowly began to shrink back into his beast form, and the giant rhinoceros was finally killed.
The orcs cheered!
