Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 316 Lin Hui's Chapter (4)

Following Long Xianlin, the group continued their journey deeper into the rainforest. Due to their experience navigating the rainforest, no accidents occurred along the way. If there were any obvious herbs along the way, Long Xianlin would pick them.

Gradually, the humidity in the rainforest grew heavier, and vines entwined among the trees rustled from time to time. Bai Yan nervously gripped the strap of the medicine basket, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

Finally, Long Xianlin stopped in front of a towering ancient tree. He looked up at the towering canopy. Sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves, forming hazy beams of light in the humid air.

"Found it." He said softly, "If I remember correctly, the Muyue Ganoderma should be growing on the upper floors of the tree."

"Senior executives?" Kailin raised his head slightly.

Looking up, the thick trunks stretched straight upward, forking only at an altitude of about thirty meters. The dense canopy stretched out over the rainforest like a giant umbrella, blocking out the sun. Sunlight filtered through the gaps between the branches and leaves, filtering the sunlight into tiny specks of golden light.

"So high! Are you kidding?" she couldn't help but exclaim.

On the other hand, Long Xianlin replied calmly, "That's why it's so precious."

"What should we do now? We haven't prepared any tools for climbing high." Karen asked with her hands spread out.

At this time, Zixuan stood up. She smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? Don't forget, I'm a mage by profession, but I can fly."

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot!" Karen tapped her hands, obviously having forgotten.

Zhao Heng looked at Zi Xuan and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Zi Xuan smiled slightly, placed the staff horizontally, and sat sideways elegantly on the suspended staff.

The staff carried her up slowly, and her wide wizard robe swayed gently in the air flow. Soon she saw some objects similar to Ganoderma lucidum on a tree trunk 50 meters high.

"Found it!" Zi Xuan shouted happily, her voice coming from high above. She took out the medicine shovel given by Long Xianlin, carefully picked the Ganoderma lucidum, and returned to the ground along the way.

At this moment, Long Xianlin couldn't help but sigh as he stood there: "Sure enough, being able to fly is different."

After landing, Zixuan came to Long Xianlin holding the Ganoderma lucidum she had just picked and asked, "Doctor Long, is this what you think it is?"

Long Xianlin carefully took the Ganoderma lucidum and gently stroked the shimmering, moon-white hairs on the cap with his fingertips. He took out a silver needle he carried with him and gently prodded the gills. The needle tip immediately emitted a faint blue light.

"Yes, this is indeed Mu Yue Ganoderma." He nodded with a smile.

"So now all we have left is Qinglin Grass?" Kailin asked.

Long Xianlin nodded: "That's right, but we still can't take it lightly."

Everyone nodded, packed up everything, and continued to head deeper into the rainforest. As they went deeper, the soil under their feet began to become softer and moister, and the air was filled with a faint moisture. Gradually, a stream appeared before their eyes.

"You said Qinglin grass grows next to the stream. It should be around here, right?" Kailin looked around and said.

Seeing this, Long Xianlin smiled softly: "No, although Qinglin grass grows by the stream, its conditions are very harsh. It can only be seen on the cliffs beside the stream."

"So we have to go upstream along the stream?" asked Yanbai.

Long Xianlin nodded: "That's right, but don't worry. From the sound, there should be a waterfall not far ahead, so..."

His voice abruptly stopped. The stream not far ahead shimmered in the sunlight, and on the rocks beside it lay a group of steel-scaled crocodiles, each nearly four meters long.

"Damn it, at this time." Karen's face immediately became serious, and then she pulled out the pistol she was carrying.

Bai Yan's breathing suddenly became rapid: "What should I do now?"

"Don't worry, just leave it to us!" Zhao Heng and Zi Xuan stood in front of everyone, one holding a spear and the other holding a staff.

"Will it work? The bite force of these crocodiles is not comparable to that of ordinary crocodiles." Long Xianlin said seriously.

Zi Xuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, after all, we are ranked in the top ten in the profession of the whole server. It's just a few crocodiles. There is nothing to be afraid of."

"That's right!" Zhao Heng said while turning his spear.

After saying that, the two of them rushed forward together.

Zhao Heng, like a tiger descending from the mountain, thrust his spear straight at the throat of a steel-scaled crocodile. The crocodile whipped its tail violently, sending up a large splash of water. Zhao Heng dodged sideways, deftly avoiding the attack. Then, with a swift twist of the spear, it stabbed into the crocodile's back. The crocodile, in pain, twisted its body wildly, sending mud and water flying everywhere.

At the same time, Zi Xuan quickly chanted a spell, and the light at the top of the staff became brighter. A powerful wind magic whistled out, blowing several steel-scaled crocodiles that tried to besiege her to the ground.

Seeing this, Kailin was also not idle. She held her pistol, found the right moment, and fired continuously, the bullets accurately hitting the crocodile's eyes and other vulnerable parts. Soon, under the combined attack of everyone, the steel-scaled crocodiles gradually lost their ability to resist. Some lay twitching by the stream, while others sank into the water and became motionless.

Only three minutes passed from the battle to the end.

"Done!" Karen blew away the smoke from the muzzle of the gun.

"Well done." Mo Yan, who was standing at the back and was on guard duty, walked forward and said with a smile.

"Then let's move on." Bai Yan said.

Everyone nodded, but just as they were about to move forward, they found that Long Xianlin was standing there with his head down, not moving.

Kailin was puzzled. She exchanged glances with everyone and then stepped forward to ask, "Doctor Long, is there any problem?"

Long Xianlin came back to his senses and said, "Oh, it's nothing. It's just that crocodile skin is also a rare medicinal material. I just think it's a pity to leave it here."

"Is that so?" Kailin nodded slightly understandingly.

Zi Xuan stepped forward and said, "In that case, Zhao Heng and I will take Mr. Bai Yan there. After all, judging by the sound of the stream, the waterfall isn't that far from here."

"Well, that's fine." Long Xianlin nodded and did not refuse.

After everyone separated, Mo Yan and Kailin accompanied Long Xianlin to start processing the crocodile skin, while Zixuan and Zhao Heng took Bai Yan to continue moving upstream along the stream.

During the process, Long Xianlin didn't say a word, which Mo Yan found strange. He looked at Kailin and walked towards him.

Sure enough, although he seemed to be concentrating, he looked absent-minded. Even when Karen whispered in his ear, he did not respond.

"Doctor Long?" Kailin waved her hand in front of his eyes. "Are you okay?"

"Ah." Long Xianlin was so shocked that he almost dropped the skinning knife in his hand. Then he realized, "Sorry, I was just thinking about something. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Kailin and Mo Yan looked at each other, then asked, "What's going on? You looked very heavy since I saw you this morning. What happened?"

"Oh, nothing, I just remembered something that happened in the past..." Long Xianlin lowered his head and pondered for a long time. After a moment, he turned around and asked, "Um, do you know about the Resurrection Pill?"
