All Gods: I am a master of all professions, who dares to oppose me?

The next day, early in the morning.

After resting overnight in the indigenous village, the group was ready to set off.

The filming crew did not plan to go with them this time. They believed that filming and recording the customs and culture of the Nier people was more important. For them, the greatest reward of the expedition was already in sight.

So the two teams parted ways at the village entrance.

Led by two indigenous villagers, the expedition team, lightly equipped, headed toward the valley marked on the map.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way, and around noon, the group reached the outside of the valley.

"It's right here, right here!!" The doctor was so excited that he almost lost control of his emotions. As long as he got the Blood Orchid, he could gain fame and fortune, and even immortality!

Moreover, they hadn't encountered any additional dangers along the way, and the doctor was heartbroken over the price he had set for Fang Chang.

"Ura ura~"

Two indigenous villagers gestured to the group, telling them that it was too dangerous ahead and they did not recommend going.

But the arrow was already on the bowstring, and there was no turning back.

Do you expect us to go back now that we're here?

The doctor shook his head at the villagers, pointed to the valley, and indicated that he absolutely had to go.

Sensing the doctor's determination, the two villagers huddled together and chattered for a while before leading everyone into the woods to the edge of a foul-smelling mud pit.

Without saying a word, the two jumped into the daunting mud pit and then—rolled around in it.

"vomit--"

When Xiao Hei saw the two of them rolling around in the mud, which was a shade darker than his own, he couldn't help but gag.

The professor and his companions stared in disbelief at this incredible scene.

“This should be a way to protect yourself,” the doctor said after thinking for a moment.

"In the rainforest, smearing your body with the dung of fierce wild animals to mask your own scent is the best way to avoid fierce predators."

"Therefore, there may be many giant pythons living in this valley."

The doctor suddenly realized why the journey had been so safe, like a tourist trip; the dangers were all concentrated in the valley.

Yes, based on my research and speculation, these enormous pythons—even larger than Titanoboa, the largest snake on Earth 6000 million years ago—should be closely related to the Blood Orchid.

As is well known, anacondas are amazing animals that keep growing and molting until they die.

And these exceptionally gifted snakes, once they encounter a magical plant that can overturn the limits of Hayflick...

The blood orchid helped the anaconda solve the problems of telomere wear and cell lifespan limit, so the anaconda could grow without restriction in this rainforest with suitable temperature and abundant prey.

"In that case..."

With that thought in mind, the doctor no longer hesitated and jumped into the mud pit with the two villagers.

He would do anything to get the Blood Orchid.

After listening to the doctor's analysis, Dahei gritted his teeth and jumped in. He had already come this far, and there was no way he could back down. Victory was just around the corner!

A few minutes later, several humanoid creatures, completely black and emitting a foul stench, appeared in the woods.

"Won't Dr. Fang come down with us? This is for safety reasons."

Humans have a strange psychology: when they encounter misfortune, the psychological pain caused by the bad thing is greatly reduced if everyone around them is also unfortunate.

Unfortunately, Fang Chang did not want to share this pain with them.

“I can provide support from a distance. I’ll find a downwind spot, and as long as the smell doesn’t drift over there, it’ll be safe.”

"Just call out if you run into trouble. I'm very interested in your potions."

To reassure them, Fang Chang added another sentence.

Fang Chang didn't want to be covered in poop not just because he found it disgusting.

After all, earning points isn't shameful.

The problem is, in Fang Chang's view, no matter how careful this group of people are, something unexpected will always happen, and then there will be an inevitable life-or-death escape.

Perhaps, once Fangzai becomes a big shot in the future, he can suppress all dissent in one fell swoop and nip any potential trouble in the bud.

But for now, Fangzai is still a complete newbie, so he's decided to stick to the storyline. His current restraint is for a better explosion later!

Seeing that Fang Chang resolutely refused, the others didn't dare to force him, after all, their entire group might not even be enough to defeat this Dr. Fang...

A minute later, a small team of humanoid creatures reeking of a foul stench headed into the valley.

"Did you see that?!" Behind a boulder in the valley, the doctor's team lay on the ground, staring at the blooming blood orchids in the valley, unable to look away for a moment.

"That's it! That's it!!"

"We're going to be rich!" Xiao Hei whispered, trembling, whether from excitement or fear of the pythons in the valley, it was hard to tell.

Yes, right in the middle of the valley, there is a pool of water formed by countless writhing giant pythons. The densely packed prehistoric monsters overlap each other, constantly rolling and writhing, creating a huge visual impact on everyone.

Their destination—the Blood Orchid—grows like wild grass on the inner walls of the valley, hanging high above the pool!

"I'll go get it later!" The doctor gritted his teeth and said to everyone in a low voice.

Before entering the valley, they had intended to have the local villagers fetch the blood orchids for them, but the two men were sober that they shook their heads and refused without a second thought.

The fact that the village chief was able to bring these outsiders into the valley was already a testament to his powerful influence, which had deterred them from resisting.

Asking them to fetch the blood orchid... Impossible, absolutely impossible. Despite the language barrier, the two villagers managed to convey their meaning completely through their vivid expressions, a true miracle of communication.

The expedition team fell silent; no one dared to speak at that moment.

Even if it's just ordinary polite talk, what if the professor takes it seriously after you say it?

Should I go or not?

After a moment of silence, the professor slowly walked towards the pool, carrying a backpack he had prepared beforehand.

“Hoo—hoo—hoo—”

Lowering his breath, the doctor picked the blood orchids one by one, his hands moving faster and faster. His desire for fame and fortune gradually overwhelmed his fear of the giant python.

In no time, the backpack was full of blood orchids. There was even time to pick a few whole blood orchids and some soil specimens to take back and see if they could be cultivated in a laboratory environment.

Those who remained behind gradually breathed a sigh of relief, and victorious smiles slowly appeared on their faces. Meanwhile, Fang Chang, who was looking out from a treetop not far away, had already prepared for a rescue.

For the protagonist group, who have suffered many hardships, it is almost impossible to get what they want without any difficulties.

Sure enough, just as the professor was preparing to return, feeling quite pleased with himself, an inconspicuous vine tripped him up.

"Snapped--"

With a sudden sound, the doctor fell straight down, leaving a mark on the muddy bank.

Everyone's heart tightened instantly, and their breath caught in their throats!

Fortunately, the giant pythons in the pool paid no attention to the insignificant sound, remaining engrossed in their own physical pleasures, unable to extricate themselves.

But the next second, reality showed them what Murphy's Law is, and what the special treatment reserved for the main characters is—

The vine that tripped the professor landed on a large rock on the bank. Whether it was due to the continuous rain or something else, the rock wobbled precariously when the vine gently pulled it.

Then, with lightning speed, it fell straight into the pool!

In an instant, white waves surged, and the "giant python dumplings" whose joy had been interrupted burst open, with countless giant pythons shooting out in all directions around the valley!

In less than a second, the situation deteriorated to an extreme degree!
