"No!"
Seeing that he narrowly escaped death and the blood orchid he finally found was eaten by a "long worm" before his eyes, Norman was so angry that he almost jumped off the cliff.
Fortunately, Xie Lun grabbed him and said in a deep voice: "Why are you panicking? It's just a flower."
"A flower?" Norman gritted his teeth and said, "We came to this damn rainforest, were chased by those giant pythons, and almost died, just for that damn flower."
"But now..."
Norman looked sadly at the river flowing under the cliff. He could vaguely see thick and long black shadows under the water.
God knows how many giant pythons are hiding down there.
"I see that you are indeed frightened and are beginning to worry about gains and losses." Sherron smiled instead, "I think this is a good thing."
"Good thing?"
Under Norman's puzzled eyes, Sherron explained: "How many giant pythons have we seen along the way? As you said, the reason why those pythons are so huge is that they probably swallowed the blood orchids and As for the physical changes."
"Then think about it, if the number of blood orchids was very scarce, would there be so many giant pythons?"
Sherron patted Norman on the shoulder and smiled, "So I think you can relax. Blood orchids may be difficult to find, but I think the number will never be too small, at least not just one."
Norman was stunned. After all, he was also one of the top rich men and a famous doctor of biology. Naturally, he knew what Xie Lun said. It's just that caring leads to chaos, and the ups and downs between excitement and disappointment made him lose his mind for a short time.
Hearing Xie Lun's words, he immediately came back to his senses and looked at the giant pythons swimming forward along the river below. He said solemnly: "Follow them, maybe you can find more blood orchids."
"Finally, the big boss has turned back into a smart guy."
Sherron laughed.
As he laughed, the giant python under the cliff also poked its head out of the water and made a scalp-numbing roar, seemingly echoing the sound.
Norman also laughed, but after a while, his expression became stiff and he hesitated: "But upstream or downstream?"
Naturally, he was asking about blood orchids, which might be upstream or downstream of the river. While it looks like the python is swimming downstream, it seems more likely that the blood orchid is downstream. However, considering the rapidity of the current, it is not certain that these giant pythons were actually swept down by the current.
Xie Lun narrowed his eyes and looked up and down for a moment. He already knew it in his heart, but he still hesitated and said: "It's hard to say, but from now on, it is more likely to go downstream. Otherwise, let's go downstream first. If there are no results, then go back upstream to search?”
He sighed: "Actually, if the team is not scattered, it would be most appropriate to search separately."
"No, even if everyone is present, I will not search separately." Norman pointedly said to Sherron, "After all, except for Inspector Xie, I don't trust anyone else."
"Haha, even now, I'm afraid you don't completely trust me, right?"
Xie Lun sneered in his heart. He knew the nature of these big capitalists very well.
Not to mention that Sherron and Norman followed the cliff and looked downstream of the river. Five kilometers upstream of the river, tentacles with big eyes suddenly swam out from the grass. Soon these tentacles came together and finally condensed into the shape of Sherron.
He put his hands behind his back and walked slowly forward along the edge of the cliff.
What stayed with Norman was just Xiaocao's clone, but the real him felt something unusual here, so he secretly came over to check it out.
This is a small waterfall where the source of the river starts. It can be found that the trees near the waterfall are extremely tall and strong, and the tree crowns that block the sky and sun make the light here become very dim, as if it has entered the evening when the sun has just set.
But in such dim light, the ivy around the cliff was covered with fist-sized red flowers.
Bright red, like a flower made of condensed blood.
"Blood Orchid!"
Xie Lun did not rush up to pick, but stood on the rocks at the edge of the waterfall and looked down. I saw that the pool formed under the waterfall was filled with giant pythons. Their long, wet and slippery bodies were intertwined and densely packed. People with trypophobia will definitely have nightmares after seeing this.
Xie Lun also felt dizzy. This was definitely not because of fear, but because he felt a mysterious force from below the waterfall, which was attracting him and wanted him to jump from here.
There is something hidden in the pool under this waterfall.
Sherron stood on the cliff and gently waved his hand downwards. The pythons that should have felt fear and fled in all directions raised their heads and spat out snake messages at Xie Lun.
They didn't have the guts to come up and attack Xie Lun, but they still got tangled up in the pool.
It seems that under the influence of the thing below, these pythons have become a lot bolder.
Xie Lun laughed silently, and a black shadow slipped out of his shadow. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge python, swam down the cliff, squeezed away other giant pythons, and easily got into the pool.
Taking advantage of this time, Xie Lun knelt down and picked out a blood orchid out of curiosity, ready to see what was so special about this flower. But as soon as he picked up the blood orchid, a system prompt sounded in his mind:
[Congratulations on obtaining the one-time epic prop "Blood Orchid"]
[Blood Orchid: You can get 5000 experience points after using it]
Xie Lun's eyes widened, and the hand holding the blood orchid was trembling.
Did you hear it right? This thing... can actually increase experience.
Looking at the dense blood orchids growing on the vines all around, Xie Lun said nothing, and suddenly countless tentacles stretched out from his body, picking off all the blood orchids.
[You use Blood Orchid and get 5000 experience points... Get 5000 experience points... 5000 experience points... You have successfully reached level 16... Get 5000 experience points... ]
After Xie Lun used all the blood orchids in one go, he found that his level had reached level 30.
Before he could allocate attribute points, the group of snakes under the waterfall suddenly began to stir violently, as if something was about to come out.
After a while, the python transformed by Xie Lun squeezed out from the group of snakes. Its mouth was tightly closed and its swollen sac must have contained something. The other giant pythons opened their mouths and attacked it desperately, trying to tear the python conjured by Xie Lun into pieces.
Xie Lun snorted coldly, pointed his hand, and countless eye tentacles shot out quickly, opened his big mouth full of fangs, and swallowed all the giant pythons in the blink of an eye.
Only the giant python conjured by Xie Lun climbed up from the cliff, swam up to Xie Lun, lowered its head, and opened its mouth in flattery.
An irregular meteorite the size of a basketball appeared in front of Xie Lun. And this meteorite flashes a faint red light from time to time.
Xie Lun narrowed his eyes and carefully put his hand on it.
