Chapter 589 Helpless

Around the big tree, except for grass and soil, there was not a single flower.

Chen Long said from the side, "My treasure-hunting mouse must have found a treasure, but the treasure is not a red flame flower, but something else."

The treasure-hunting rat barked anxiously, and when no one responded, the treasure-hunting mouse took action on its own, and began to dig the ground with its two powerful front paws. Within a minute, a ten-centimeter hole was dug on the ground. The treasure-hunting mouse worked hard with He held a beard-like object in his mouth and pulled it out forcefully.

It's a ginseng plant, and it's less than ten years old.

In modern times, wild ginseng that is ten years old is considered a treasure. Wild ginseng is buried deep underground, and treasure-hunting rats can find it from more than ten miles away, which is enough to prove that treasure-hunting rats are extraordinary.

The treasure-hunting mouse happily took the wild ginseng to Chen Long's feet, squeaking and squealing as if asking for credit.

Wild ginseng is considered a treasure to ordinary people and can be sold for a lot of money, but for this group of people, it is really of no use. Chen Long nodded and motioned for the wild ginseng to be left to the treasure hunter to deal with it himself.

After receiving Chen Long's consent, the treasure-hunting mouse screamed happily again, opened its mouth and swallowed the wild ginseng. The small treasure-hunting mouse actually swallowed a wild ginseng that was about the same size as itself in one gulp. The treasure-hunting mouse had a huge appetite. How good it must be.

Not finding the red flame flower, everyone was a little downcast. Lin Tian clapped his hands and cheered everyone up, "Don't be discouraged. The treasure-hunting rat can find wild ginseng, which proves its treasure-hunting ability. We will continue to follow the treasure-hunting rat. If there is a red flame flower within a hundred miles, we will definitely find it."

After hearing this, everyone nodded feebly.

The red flame flower is a rare elixir that is hard to find in the world. If you want to find one within a hundred miles, it really depends on your luck.

With Chen Long's promise, the treasure-hunting rat set out again, and everyone followed him for five miles and saw a big tiger.

Everyone was helpless for a while. Tigers are nationally protected animals, especially wild ones, which are even more precious. If you put it this way, tigers are also considered a treasure.

After searching again, the treasure-hunting mouse came to a purple bamboo. This bamboo was unusually tall and strong. It was more than ten meters taller than other bamboos. The most unusual thing was that this bamboo was purple and was treated with green bamboo. In the forest, it feels a bit like standing out from the crowd.

This is called purple bamboo, and its texture is harder than iron. In ancient times, purple bamboo was an indispensable munition during marches and wars. It can be used to set up tents and fences. It can even be sharpened and used as weapons. However, later on People's demand for purple bamboo is gradually increasing.

Over time, the purple bamboo became extinct.

The treasure-hunting mouse continued to search and found three more treasures in succession, but none of them were red flame flowers.

The treasure-hunting mouse was dispatched six times and took everyone back and forth for more than a hundred miles. In the end, there was still no trace of the red flame flower.

After the masters were arrested, everyone's morale has been extremely low. Now they have traveled more than a hundred miles and still cannot find the Red Flame Flower. It can be said that most people have no morale now.

"No more searching, no more searching. Treasure-hunting rats can find treasures within a hundred miles. Now we have traveled more than a hundred miles, proving that there are no red flame flowers here at all!" A disciple sighed and sat down. He fell to the ground with the word "frustration" written all over his face.

"Yes, we can't run anymore. There is no way to keep searching like this. If the strong men from hell come and kill us, we will be killed in one fell swoop!"

"Yes, the probability of finding the Red Flame Flower is too small. How about we not look for the Red Flame Flower, sneak out from here, go back and report to the sect, and let the sect come forward to rescue our masters?"

"No!" Jian Cangsheng immediately stood up and retorted.

"The people who come here to participate in the competition are all the strongest in the sect. Now, all the strongest sects have been arrested. How can you ask our sect to save them? And what if hell is like ours?" If we take our masters as hostages and threaten our sect, what should we do?”

"So my opinion is to continue looking for the Red Flame Flower. Although the hope is slim, this is our only chance."

"I don't agree." Another person stood up and shouted, "Let's not talk about the Red Flame Flower first. Even if we are lucky enough to find the Red Flame Flower, how can we deliver the Red Flame Flower into the hands of our master? Since hell The strong men have captured our master, so they will definitely send strong men to keep an eye on our masters. You don’t expect that just a few of us can break through the defense line of the strong men in hell and hand over the Red Flame Flower to our master. in your hands!"

"You!" Jian Cangsheng said angrily, "You are greedy for life and afraid of death. If you don't dare, please quit. Don't come here and say those depressing words to disturb the morale of the army."

"What I said is just the truth. Am I wrong?"

Jian Cangsheng was about to continue to refute, but was interrupted by Lin Tian.

"Okay, don't say anything anymore."

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone suppressed everything they wanted to say.

Whether they are humans or animals, they all respect the strong. Lin Tian's strength is obvious to everyone, so Lin Tian has become the leader of this group of people, and everyone must listen to his words.

There are rights and wrongs for these two views, and Lin Tian doesn't know how he should choose.

At a small scale, this is related to the lives of more than 60 sect leaders; at a big scale, this is related to the safety of the entire China.

Lin Tian cannot force everyone to choose which path, he cannot bear this responsibility.

And dividing the troops into two groups seems to be the most correct method.

He said, "If you want to go back and report to the sect now, I won't stop you, but I will still continue to look for the Red Flame Flower. You can make your own decision whether to go or stay!"

After that, everyone started talking and whispering.

In the end, five of the twenty-two people were ready to go back and report to the sect, and the remaining seventeen were ready to follow Lin Tian to continue looking for the Red Flame Flower.

Everyone divided into two groups and began to take action.

The treasure-hunting mouse continued its operation and found another treasure, but it was a rare birch tree that had nothing to do with the Red Flame Flower.

In the end, the treasure hunter was motionless, squatting on the spot with an innocent look on his face.

Chen Long held the treasure-hunting rat in his palm and said helplessly to everyone, "It seems that there is nothing that the treasure-hunting rat can like within a hundred miles."

This time, everyone was completely discouraged, even Lin Tian was a little depressed.

Huo Shaotian suggested helplessly on the side, "Otherwise, let's go back to the sect! If we stay here, there may be a chance that people from hell will make dumplings for us."

Five people have already reported to the sect. Nowadays, technology is so advanced and everyone is on a united front. If a sect knows the news, the news will be quickly passed on to all sects. Therefore, it is unnecessary for Lin Tian and the others to go back now. .
