Chapter 373: Particularly Depressed


Because when the four Yellow people flew down from the second floor, they slipped away from the main entrance.

The only decisive condition for the smooth completion of the plan was that the four Yellow people must not be aware. Now that they had been discovered by the four Yellow people, they were undoubtedly doomed; therefore, fleeing was the best strategy.

The primitive forest was too vast and it was deep into the night; therefore, Lin Yifan and his group gave up chasing the mercenaries who had long escaped into the primitive forest.

After dealing with that group of detestable mercenaries, they changed residences.

The military base was quite large and had many houses; so they were not worried about having nowhere to live.

After this massacre, no mercenaries dared to target them anymore.

This way, they slept peacefully until dawn.

At eight in the morning, after finishing the breakfast they made, they began to survey the surrounding area.

The Blood Ginseng had appeared here, indicating that the environment was favorable to it; by identifying the characteristics of this environment, they could have a direction in the vast primitive forest to search for the Blood Ginseng.

Through continuous field surveys, they finally discovered the characteristics of the environment here.

The common environmental features here were humidity, rich spiritual energy, lush vegetation, and abundant sunlight; besides, there were many wildflowers, as it seemed that Blood Ginseng had a preference for beauty.

With these reference indicators, it became much easier for Lin Yifan and his group; they immediately set off deeper into the forest to locate the Blood Ginseng.

Firstly, an environment with spiritual energy was most important; because to cultivate a plant with spiritual nature like the Blood Ginseng, a large amount of spiritual energy was necessary, otherwise no matter how long it lived, it was still just a plant.

Secondly, places where wildflowers were blooming, they thought that this Blood Ginseng liked to "show off its beauty"; so places where wildflowers bloomed might house the Blood Ginseng.

These two reference indicators were very important, and also the most intuitive; they could not be overlooked or taken lightly.

Searching along, they found several places with spiritual energy and blooming wildflowers, yet they did not find any trace of the Blood Ginseng.

In the overgrown forest, it was hard to move an inch; Lin Yifan and his group searched the ground laboriously.

Before they knew it, the morning had passed; at noon, they stopped to rest and fill their empty stomachs.

They had brought a lot of food from the base; so they did not need to rely on wild game to stave off hunger.

"How long will it take to get through this vast forest!" Li Xiaofeng lamented while munching on bread.

After half a day of searching, he was already extremely tired; besides that, there were the setbacks every time they found a promising site.

A setback once or twice was manageable, but too many setbacks could easily discourage someone, making them feel helpless and as if the mission was impossible to complete.

"Don't lose heart! We still have plenty of time. If we keep searching slowly, we will eventually find it," encouraged Li Dafeng.

This was a task given to him by his Master, and he was determined to complete it; hence, he did not allow his brother to harbor thoughts of giving up.

"Let's hope so," Li Xiaofeng sighed.

He didn't want to give up so early either, especially since this was the first serious task his Master had entrusted to him, and he couldn't disappoint his Master.

After the rest, Lin Yifan and his group continued their search.

In the evening, they did not return to the base to rest; because going back and forth required a lot of Cultivation Power; and since their search was continually expanding deeper into the forest, always moving away from the base, it was better to save some energy and rest on site.

Li Dafeng, Lin Yanping, and Lin Yifan were experienced and accustomed to resting in the forest; hence, they felt no discomfort at all; but Li Xiaofeng was constantly complaining.

Leaving the comfort of a big bed to sleep on the hard trunk of a tree, and being constantly bitten by mosquitoes, made him feel very uneasy.

Fortunately, he had the mosquito repellent specially made by his older brother, Li Dafeng, otherwise, he would not have been able to stay.

Thus, day by day, they tirelessly searched for the millennium Blood Ginseng in the Jiminia Primitive Forest.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed; they still had not made any progress.

By now, they were about to reach the central area of the Jiminia Primitive Forest.

A month of relentless searching had left each of them exhausted, both mentally and physically.

Now, they all felt listless, with their minds a blank, unsure of where to search next.

Returning unsuccessful time after time truly left them feeling extremely disheartened.

"Ah! I can't go on! Rest! Rest! I can't walk anymore." Li Xiaofeng sat down on the ground with a thud, then leaned against a big tree, continuously catching his breath and resting.

The high humidity in the forest, combined with the intense evaporation of the sun, made them feel very stuffy.

Don't think that the forest is cool just because there are big trees for shade—it's actually no different from a sauna, especially in such a tropical rainforest, which is even more uncomfortable.

Having searched all morning, Lin Yifan and the others were also tired; so they sat down to rest as well.

"Ah! When will this end?" Lin Yanping also sighed.

Despite her years of experience on missions, she couldn't help feeling dejected. This was truly the first time she felt the impulse to give up during a mission. It was simply too difficult to complete.

"Is it possible that the direction we're searching in is wrong?" Li Xiaofeng asked.

"The direction is definitely correct. If anything is to blame, it's that this forest is just too vast; the similar environments are too numerous and have created too many obstacles for our search," replied Li Dafeng.

Lin Yifan also agreed with this viewpoint; nowadays, having a direction to search was already quite fortunate; if one had no direction at all, they might search the entire primitive forest multiple times and still might not find the millennium Blood Ginseng.

"What do we do now? We've only searched the tip of the iceberg, and there are many more places in the vast forest we haven't covered. It's possible that even after these five months, we will not find the millennium Blood Ginseng," Li Xiaofeng asked.

"Don't you remember Master once cautioned us before we left that if we didn't find the millennium Blood Ginseng, we shouldn't bother returning alive to see her? So even if you don't feel like searching, we must search, don't let Master be disappointed in you," Li Dafeng replied.

He didn't want to search either, but what could be done?

"Ah! Master, oh Master! Why did you assign such a difficult task to me?" Li Xiaofeng cried bitterly, deeply frustrated.

Before they set off, he was brimming with enthusiasm, swearing to perfectly complete the mission assigned by Master, but now he was thinking of giving up, which really felt like slapping his own face.

Lin Yifan would never give up no matter what, for he needed to save his woman.

Resting in the primitive forest was a very dangerous affair; because you never know what dangers might be lurking around.

At that moment, Lin Yifan and the others had already been targeted by the wild beasts in the forest.

As they lowered their guard, danger inched closer; a perilous event was about to unfold.
