Chapter 22: The Deep Pool
Geng Shihao simply handed over the blood orchid, which made Li Yan and the others a little surprised, and at the same time, they couldn't help but have other thoughts in their hearts.
"Old Pan ......" Li Yan and Wang Boxing exchanged a look, walked two steps faster with each other, walked to both sides of Pan Guangqing, and faintly surrounded Pan Guangqing.
Seeing Pan Guangqing turn his head, Li Yan pretended to be a little casual and asked, "It's not a short time since you were separated from us, although you didn't catch up with Kuipa, but you should have collected a lot of blood orchids, right?" ”
In his tone, there were both inquiries and temptations, and after asking, he stared at Pan Guangqing tightly, waiting for the other party's reply.
Pan Guangqing glanced left and right, his pupils contracted for a moment, but he looked inconvenient on his face, and said with a smile: "Hehe, how can it be so easy?" The blood orchid just now was the first one I picked. Alas, speaking of which, it is really not easy to pick this blood orchid. ”
He sighed and shook his head, feeling a little regretful and complaining.
Hearing Pan Guangqing say this, Li Yan and Wang Boxing stared at Pan Guangqing's expressions and softened a little, they couldn't tell if Pan Guangqing was lying, and they couldn't tell whether Pan Guangqing still had blood orchids.
Since this is the case, there is no need to threaten Pan Guangqing to take out the blood orchid by means like Geng Shihao.
After having this thought, Li Yan and Wang Boxing relaxed a little.
Geng Shihao seemed to be in a much better mood when he got the blood orchid, and after hearing Pan Guangqing's words, seeing that Li Yan and Wang Boxing suddenly stopped talking, he said: "It's really too difficult to pick, and the most difficult thing is to not find it." In fact, the three of us have discussed before, there seems to be no danger in this blood orchid land, and it is estimated that the difficulty of this task is to find the blood orchid. ”
Li Yan and Wang Boxing next to him nodded and agreed with Geng Shihao's words.
"Haha, don't worry too much about finding the Blood Orchid." Pan Guangqing listened to Geng Shihao's words, a smile appeared on his face, and at the same time, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a place in front of him and said, "I saw a lot of blood orchids over there, and they are still there, and we went over to pick them." ”
I had heard Pan Guangqing mention that he had seen a lot of blood orchids before, and when he heard it again, Li Yan and the others couldn't help but have questions in their hearts while being overjoyed.
Geng Shihao couldn't hide the words in his heart the most, and took the lead in asking: "Old Pan, since you saw the blood orchid, why didn't you pick it?" ”
This is also the question of Li Yan and Wang Boxing, the blood orchid is the goal of task two, and every tourist will not give up after seeing it, according to Pan Guangqing, since he found the blood orchid, why didn't he pick it? This doesn't make sense.
"This ......" Pan Guangqing smiled slightly, "We'll be there soon, and when we arrive, you'll understand." ”
After speaking, Pan Guangqing quickened his pace, and Li Yan and the three looked at each other and followed with doubts.
As I walked, I could hear the sound of water coming from the front of me, like a small stream flowing, and the air was gradually getting wet.
After a while, Pan Guangqing suddenly stopped in front, stared down and said, "It's here." ”
His voice was very low, as if he was deliberately lowering his voice as if he was afraid of something.
However, Li Yan and the other three couldn't care about analyzing Pan Guangqing's voice, and after hearing it, the three of them sped up a few steps at the same time and looked down at Pan Guangqing's gaze.
I saw a huge deep pool in front of me, and there was a pool of turquoise water in it, and the pool water flowed slowly down several paths.
It was quiet, there was no roar of insects, birds and beasts, and there was a dead silence. And the few gurgling pools of water make a brisk sound, bringing a bit of vitality to this environment.
Looking down from above, this deep pool is dozens of meters deep, presenting a very standardized circle, the wall is smooth as a mirror, and it looks more like it has been dug out by hand.
And on the muddy ground next to the deep pool, four or five small blood-red flowers stood quietly, like a reserved dancing girl, although there was no movement, but it had already revealed a thousand graces.
"Blood Orchid?!"
Li Yan and the three shouted out at the same time, glanced at each other, and there was undisguised joy on their faces.
However, after looking around closely, the smiles on the faces of the three gradually retracted.
At this time, they finally understood why Pan Guangqing didn't go down to pick the blood orchid even if he found it. For there was hardly any place to go down from where they were standing, and the walls were so smooth that there was not even a single grass or a single protruding stone. In the absence of leverage, it is not difficult to go down to a deep pool dozens of meters deep, but after going down, it is not easy to climb back up.
"Take the rope!" Li Yan shouted, and then he took out a piece of rope from the watch space.
Tools like ropes have a very low value to exchange on cruise ships, but sometimes they are very useful, and ordinary tourists will prepare, and the three of them are naturally no exception.
Wang Boxing and Geng Shihao nodded, and also took out a piece of rope from the watch space.
The three sections of rope were knotted together, which was long enough.
Li Yan threw the rope down, and the rope fell headlong into the pool water, and floated on the water surface with Li Yan swinging a few times, shaking gently, and when he looked at it, he thought it was a snake.
"We ......"
Everyone else had smiles on their faces, but at this time, Li Yan looked at a few people, but hesitated.
From above, there are about five blood orchids on the edge of the pool, and there are four of them in total, who will go down to pick them? And how are those blood orchids distributed?
Slowly, the other three thought of this as well, and the smiles on their faces gradually retracted, and they glanced deeply at each other.
Li Yan, Geng Shihao and Wang Boxing's eyes looked at each other, which seemed to have a special meaning, and the three of them looked at Pan Guangqing, and their expressions changed slightly.
"Who's going down?" Li Yan asked, his gaze fixed on Pan Guangqing.
Wang Boxing and Geng Shihao were the same, looking at Pan Guangqing without blinking, with a strong warning in their eyes.
"Hehe, this ......" Pan Guangqing took a step back, the expression on his face was still calm, but there was a slight sweat on his forehead, his eyes flashed, and said, "I...... I was a little afraid of heights, so I didn't go down. You guys...... Go down! ”
Pan Guangqing's answer was naturally the answer that Li Yan and the three of them wanted, so the three of them all showed satisfied expressions after listening to it.
Li Yan showed a smile, then turned his head to look at Geng Shihao and Wang Boxing, and said, "Since Lao Pan doesn't want to go down, let's go down and pick it reluctantly!" ”
Geng Shihao and Wang Boxing nodded and didn't say anything, but the smiles on their faces already revealed the excitement in their hearts.
"Old Pan, please hold on to the rope and wait for us to come up." Li Yan said, and at the same time handed the rope in his hand to Pan Guangqing.
Pan Guangqing took it expressionlessly, just nodded, and said, "Okay, don't worry." ”
As soon as he said the word "rest assured", Li Yan was not at ease. Pan Guangqing is not a member of their small team, and this time they are clearly oppressive and force Pan Guangqing to give up on his own initiative. If Pan Guangqing has resentment in his heart, what will he do...... It's also a hassle for the trio!
Li Yan pondered for a while, looked at Pan Guangqing carefully, for some reason, the more he looked at Pan Guangqing, the more he felt that he couldn't see through it.
It stands to reason that as a three-time strengthener, although it is normal for Pan Guangqing to face the three of them alone and tolerate a little, there is no need to behave so cowardly, and he will retreat after a little threat, which is also too cowardly. Ordinary tourists, at least fight for their own interests!
Especially Geng Shihao just got a blood orchid from Pan Guangqing, and then Pan Guangqing led the way for them regardless of his previous suspicions, and the three of them did not show the intention of sharing the blood orchid to Pan Guangqing, and Pan Guangqing was not angry.
Something is not normal!
After being vigilant in his heart, Li Yan had an extra heart, turned his head to Wang Boxing and Geng Shihao and said, "Forget it, so be it!" You two go down, I'll wait here with Lao Pan. ”
As soon as he said this, Pan Guangqing's expression remained unchanged, but Wang Boxing and Geng Shihao were a little surprised, they couldn't believe that Li Yan didn't go down, did this mean to make the bleeding orchid?
Li Yan turned his back to Pan Guangqing, made a slight color at the two, and gestured to Pan Guangqing who was standing behind him, and after seeing that the two of them showed a bit of sudden meaning, Li Yan raised two fingers and said: "The blood orchid below, I don't care how you distribute it, anyway, I have to get at least two." ”
"Two?"
Geng Shihao and Wang Boxing glanced at the edge of the pool, and then agreed.
From entering the Land of Blood Orchid to the present, Wang Boxing snatched a Blood Orchid from Zhou Zijian, Geng Shihao got one from Pan Guangqing, and only Li Yan has not harvested it.
Li Yan, as the leader of the three, is not suitable if he can't get it all the time. And now he has to look at Pan Guangqing to ensure the safety of the two.
Now the five flowers on the edge of the pond, after giving Li Yan two flowers, the two of them still have three flowers to distribute, which is a very fair distribution method. As for how the two of them divided the remaining three, it was something that could be discussed later.
And from here, it looks like five blood orchids, maybe there are still things you can't see, and when you go down, maybe you will find them. If you find one or two more, Li Yan's request will not be too much.
The reason why I didn't let one person go down, but went down together, was also because I had the idea of supervising each other, and I was worried that if I went down alone, I would find the blood orchid hidden in the secret and swallow it myself.
The three of them all felt that this distribution was fair, but at this time, they completely ignored Pan Guangqing who brought them over, and they didn't see the lust in Pan Guangqing's eyes.
There were no trees on it, so the rope could only be pulled by Pan Guangqing and Li Yan, and for the three strengtheners, it was easy to support the weight of the two people, so Geng Shihao and Wang Boxing slid down the rope very smoothly.
There is a small piece of mud on the edge of the pond for two people to stand on, and the blood orchid grows on the muddy ground on the edge of the pool.
And when the two of them were just standing on the mud floor, looking at the blood orchid only a few meters away from them with excitement, not far away, a shrill whistle suddenly sounded.
The whistle was sharp and urgent, as if urging something.
Li Yan, who was above, was originally paying attention to Geng Shihao and Wang Boxing, but suddenly his eyes stared and looked at the deep pool. I saw that the water in the pool suddenly rippled, and swelled up a little, as if something was moving in the water.
Suddenly, the pool shook violently, and a huge shadow appeared under the water, and Li Yan's pupils suddenly showed a terrifying color.
"Be careful!" Li Yan yelled.
Geng Shihao and Wang Boxing also noticed the movement in the deep pool around them, and turned their heads suddenly, and saw a bloody mouth rushing towards them.
