Chapter 5: The Forest of Glory

When we arrived at the Youguang Forest, it was just night.

As its name suggests, the Glowing Forest emits a bright glow at night, thanks to the various plants, insects and animals in the forest that glow at night. The warm and bright glow is like a dream in the night, and the medicinal plants are hidden in hidden corners during the day, but they are all exposed at night.

Most of the plants in the Glowing Forest are medicinal herbs, but since they cannot be found during the day, their location can only be known at night.

Of course, the Glowing Forest is also extremely dangerous at night, but as long as you don't go too deep, there won't be much danger.

With Xie Buyou's strength, as long as he doesn't go too deep into the forest, he should be more than capable of protecting his other fellow disciples.

Although Tang Su's strength is not as high as the other four inner disciples, he can protect his life and safety with just elixirs, not to mention that he can also use poison.

The only one who needs to be looked after at all times is Xie Nan. If one has to sum him up in one sentence, he would be an ordinary person who knows a little magic.

"The Ghostly Forest is still so beautiful at night. You won't get tired of seeing it even if you watch it several times!" exclaimed a disciple.

"You better be careful, it's not just plants that glow. Don't cry if you get bit by a poisonous insect."

"Stop being so crow-mouthed! I'm not blind!"

"You're not blind, but you're stupid!"

"Okay, stop teasing him. You know he's stupid, so just watch him."

"Why are you also talking about me?!"

"Hey! Come over here! I found something good!"

When the other three heard about the good stuff, they stopped arguing and ran over in a flash, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Xie, let's go find the night orchid!" Tang Su pulled Xie Buyu up and ran, not forgetting to call Xie Nan to join them, "Brother Xie, hurry up and catch up!"

Xie Nan hurriedly followed, but still lagged behind, and soon he was getting farther and farther away from them. Fortunately, Xie Buyou grabbed Tang Su in time, so Xie Nan didn't lose him.

"Why are you running so fast? Also, it seems like we are getting closer and closer to the center of the forest, right?"

The further you go in, the more plants there are around you, and the more insects there are, with fireflies being the most numerous. They are like moving stars floating around, illuminating the surrounding scenery.

"I was just too anxious..." Tang Su saw that Xie Buyou looked a little strange, so she gave up the idea of ​​running deep into the woods and covered it up by saying, "We finally found a place where a bunch of night orchids were growing. What if someone else picked them first?"

He then said to Xie Nan, who was running and panting, with an apologetic look on his face: "I'm sorry, Brother Xie, I didn't take care of you. But your physical condition is too poor, isn't it? You are so tired after just running for a while. What if you encounter danger? You must follow us closely. It doesn't matter if you lag behind. Brother Xie and I won't mind."

Xie Buyu finally sensed something was wrong and shook off his hand. She walked over to pick up Xie Nan, who was keeping his head down and silent, and then turned around and said to him, "I never minded. Don't do meaningless things."

After that, he led Xie Nan for a few steps and stopped again. This time he did not look back, but directly said to Tang Su: "You lead the way."

"Since you have discovered the night orchid, it is impossible that you are unprepared. Lead the way carefully this time and be careful of danger."

Night orchids are not particularly rare medicinal plants, but they are indeed only found in the Dark Light Forest. As an alchemist, it is impossible for Tang Su to leave without doing anything after encountering a large cluster of night orchids. He must have been prepared in advance, otherwise he would not leave so many night orchids without picking any.

Tang Su, whose hand was shaken off, curled her lips at Xie Buyu's back and said, "Senior Brother Xie is not romantic at all."

Tang Su didn't really want to make Xie Buyou angry, so she just led the way obediently.

After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at the destination. The scene was even more shocking than we had imagined.

A large cluster of fluorescent night orchids formed a huge glowing flower cluster, with dots of fluorescent light floating out from the stamens and spreading into the air. Luminous butterflies gathered around and refused to leave, all attracted by the scent of the night orchids and intoxicated by it.

“What beautiful flowers!”

This was the first time Xie Nan had seen such a beautiful cluster of flowers. He originally thought that the night view of the Youguang Forest was already very beautiful, but he did not expect that the large area of ​​fluorescent night orchids would have a much greater visual impact on him.

The deer-like dark eyes reflected the scene, and the luminous butterflies were also reflected in them, and the delicate little face was made even more charming by the fluorescent light.

Xie Buyou looked at him with a slight smile on his lips, a strand of hair falling on his cheek, and a warm light in his eyes.

This is the life that Xie Nan should enjoy, seeing beautiful things and living a beautiful life, instead of being abused and beaten by love all day long.

"Thank you, Senior Brother..."

His sleeves were gently tugged, and Xie Buyou looked down and found that it was Tang Su, who was looking at him with a pitiful expression.

"What's wrong?" Xie asked without worry.

"Brother Xie, please accompany me to pick night orchids? I'm scared to go alone..." Tang Su said with a hint of fear on her face.

I almost forgot that although night orchids are not rare, there must be orchid snakes guarding a large cluster of night orchids, and there may be more than one.

The only trouble is that after all the orchid snakes die, the night orchids will also wither. Orchid snakes are highly poisonous, so you need to be careful when handling them.

Sure enough, after Xie Buyou nodded, Tang Su couldn't wait to pick flowers. The moment she touched the night orchid, an orchid-colored creature hidden in the flower cluster bit towards Tang Su at the speed of an arrow that pierced the air.

A sword energy came from another direction, cutting it in half and dropping it to the ground.

Xie Buyu stood not far behind Tang Su, with a cool demeanor and a long sword in his hand. The sword reflected a cold arc, illuminating Tang Su's pretty face.

"Don't be distracted, keep picking." Xie Buyou ordered calmly.

Tang Su immediately retracted her infatuated expression and started picking flowers seriously.

Orchid snakes are poisonous, and night orchids are also poisonous, but this is nothing for Tang Su who has already prepared them. The difficulty lies in picking the flowers carefully while being on guard against the orchid snakes that may emerge at any time.

This is also the reason why Tang Su did not go up and pick the night orchids directly when he found a large area of ​​night orchids. At most, he would spread some confusing powder around to cover up the existence of the night orchids.

Xie Nan could only watch from the sidelines without being able to help. He stayed far away and tried his best to avoid being attacked by the orchid snake, thus distracting his brother.

Xie Buyou swung his long sword, the sword energy cut through the air, dancing around the leaves and branches, without hurting them at all, but easily cutting off the seven-inch part of the flower snake. In the end, only the head and tail were left, wriggling on the ground.

The first move of the Po Cang Sword Manual - Ling Guang!

Seeing that Tang Su had picked most of the flowers, Xie Buyu no longer wasted time and used his sword skills, intending to kill all the orchid snakes.
