Chapter 617 - 589 Helplessness
Around the big tree, there was nothing but grass and soil, not a single flower to be seen.
Chen Long said from the side, "My Treasure-hunting Mouse must have detected a treasure, but it's not the Red Flame Flower, it's something else."
The Treasure-hunting Mouse frantically squeaked, seeing that no one reacted, it took matters into its own hands. With its strong and powerful front claws, it began to dig the ground, and within a minute, it had dug a hole ten centimeters wide. Struggling, it used its mouth to grab a bunch of whisker-like objects and forcibly yanked out the thing.
It was a ginseng, and not a small one at that, at least ten years of maturity.
In the modern world, a ten-year ginseng from the wild is considered a treasure. Buried deep underground, the ginseng could be detected by the Treasure-hunting Mouse from miles away, which proved the mouse's extraordinary ability.
The Treasure-hunting Mouse happily brought the wild ginseng to Chen Long's feet, chirping excitedly as if to claim credit for its find.
While the wild ginseng is a treasure for ordinary people and could be sold for a fair amount of money, it was of little use to this group of people. Chen Long nodded, indicating that the wild ginseng be left to the Treasure-hunting Mouse to deal with.
After getting Chen Long's approval, the Treasure-hunting Mouse joyfully squealed again and swallowed the wild ginseng in one bite. The relatively small Treasure-hunting Mouse actually managed to swallow a ginseng nearly its own size, surely its appetite knew no bounds.
Having not found the Red Flame Flower, everyone felt a bit disheartened. Lin Tian clapped his hands together to encourage the group, saying, "Don't be discouraged, everyone. If the Treasure-hunting Mouse can find the wild ginseng, that proves its treasure-hunting ability. Let's continue following it. As long as there is a Red Flame Flower within a hundred miles, we will definitely find it."
After hearing this, everybody nodded weakly.
The Red Flame Flower is a rare spiritual medicine, difficult to find in the world. To encounter even one within a hundred miles would indeed depend on luck.
With Chen Long's permission, the Treasure-hunting Mouse set off again, and after travelling five miles, the group encountered a large tiger.
Everyone felt a bit helpless. Tigers are national-level protected animals, especially wild ones, which are even more precious. If you look at it that way, the tiger could also be considered a treasure.
