Chapter 23: Departure
Early the next morning, everyone came to Shangyuan's house early to gather as usual. After a night's rest, everyone looked in good spirits.
Standing under the big tree of ordinary training, Jin Toad's seniors made a pre-departure mobilization for everyone.
In fact, it stands to reason that Jin Toad's predecessor is not the organizer of this operation, he is just a participant, and he should not be the one who should be the temporary operator for everyone.
However, since Jin Toad's predecessor taught everyone to identify herbs, he has long been equivalent to half of everyone's master, and in this group of people, only Jin Toad's predecessor and the snake king have a higher rank, so it is very suitable for him to be the commander-in-chief of this operation.
As for the organizers of this event, Earthworm and Shangyuan, one is dumbfounded, and the other has a bright brain, but because of his physical condition, to put it bluntly, he is too small to play the role of a conductor. Therefore, the heavy responsibility of this command naturally fell on the shoulders of Jin Toad's predecessors.
"Did everyone sleep well last night?" Senior Jin Chan did not rush to cheer everyone up, but first asked everyone how well they rested yesterday. This is enough to illustrate the leadership of Jin Toad's predecessors.
Because most of the people in this operation, elephants, pigeons, Shangyuan, and earthworms are juniors. None of them had seen anything of the world before, and it was the first time they had carried out such a dangerous mission. Each of them is psychologically stressed.
If you come up and tell everyone that we want to brave the thorn forest, please come out of the flower demon clan. That probably only exacerbates the fear in their hearts.
And now, Jin Toad's predecessor's seemingly ordinary greetings are actually well-intentioned. Because everyone will slowly reduce their fear of the thorn forest in their ordinary conversations. Slowly, you will relax.
At this time, everyone was indeed very nervous, although at a glance, everyone was in high spirits. But if you look closely, you will find that it is not the spirit of the last night's rest, but purely the curiosity and excitement brought by the need to carry out a task.
Last night was indeed a tense night, and Shang Yuan tossed and turned until midnight and did not fall asleep. When it was almost dawn, I couldn't support it, so I barely closed my eyes for a while, but I didn't fall asleep. It's just that my eyes are too dry and I just take a break with my eyes closed.
Before Senior Jin Toad left yesterday, Shangyuan couldn't help but ask Senior Jin Chan what kind of poison he had tried for himself.
Because he didn't remember any pain he felt, he just felt as if he had slept for a long and comfortable night, and had a very sweet dream.
In the dream, I was still at the peach meeting, and the fairy was still dancing. The bright skirt corners floated up, and it seemed that they could occupy the tip of their nose. Not only that, but he also seemed to smell the fragrance of the fairy.
There was an immortal sitting next to him, and he seemed to be talking to Lao Jun, but Shangyuan didn't really hear it.
Of course, in the dream, he was not drunk, nor did he become an egg, let alone sleep in the arms of the Jade Emperor.
He just looked at the colorful skirts of the fairy flying in front of him, and listened to the loud chatter and laughter of the people around him, but he seemed to be in another space, he could only hear and see, but he couldn't make a sound to participate in it.
Then he woke up, and the moment he woke up, Shangyuan was in a trance. It seems that he was still in the Peach Club one second, and appeared in the Misty Valley the next second, still in his own home.
Jin Toad's predecessor didn't hide it, he told Shang Yuan that the herb he gave them was called Drunken Hazy.
Drunken hazy is a drug that quickly puts people to sleep and have a dream. The scene in your dream is the place you subconsciously want to go to or go back to.
Senior Jin Toad explained, the reason why I gave you this drunken hazy is because you two have weak physiques, so I specially picked the one with weak toxicity for you.
Moreover, this drunken haze can help you to see your heart, and I believe it is also very helpful to you.
Shangyuan didn't say what he dreamed of, he just felt that he didn't seem to be nostalgic for the days in the Heavenly Palace, why did he appear in his dream the scene of the Pan Tao Society?
Is it that the effect of this drunken hazy medicine does not apply to him, or that he does not realize it, in fact, he is still very nostalgic for the life of heaven.
Shangyuan couldn't figure it out. After everyone dispersed in the evening, he asked the earthworm what he saw in his dream, and the earthworm didn't tell him, just told him to go to bed quickly.
In fact, he knew that the earthworm was not asleep, because he could hear the earthworm sighing from time to time, and then he vaguely heard the earthworm seem to be crying, but he did not disturb, but pretended to sleep soundly.
Maybe everyone has a secret in their heart. This secret, even if you are like a sibling, cannot be told.
Shang Yuan was worried about more than this, because he had never carried out any tasks and had never dealt with danger, so he was very uncertain about this mission.
But that's not fear. It's not so much the fear of danger as the fear of dragging down the companions. He didn't want to be a drag on everyone, but if he didn't go, his heart would be even more unhappy.
Now I can only take one step at a time, hoping that in the thorn forest, I can help everyone, instead of becoming a useless person and dragging everyone down.
Other people, although they don't have so much consideration as Shangyuan, are more or less worried.
After all, as a group of newcomers who have never seen the world, the first time they come out to explore is a dangerous place like the Thorn Forest, and whoever changes will feel a little nervous in their hearts.
Hearing Jin Toad's senior ask like this, everyone's hanging hearts relaxed slightly. Although they didn't sleep well last night, everyone replied in unison, "Yes."
"Yes, that's good. It's a lot of energy. Senior Jin Toad said with a smile.
Actually, how could the senior Jin Toad not see that a few of them didn't have a good rest last night. He just wanted to make them relax.
Senior Jin Toad continued: "Since everyone is so full of energy, then we won't be verbose. Let us now set out for the Thorn Forest."
After the senior Jin Toad finished speaking, everyone stopped being verbose. Set off immediately, in the direction of the Thorn Forest.
