Daohua and Xiao Yeyang led their people in the deep mountains for several days, finding plenty of medicinal herbs, but the urgently needed Lingzhi and He Shou Wu were nowhere to be seen.
"It looks like we need to keep moving deeper into the mountains."
Xiao Yeyang surveyed the mountain terrain and continued to lead Daohua deeper into the wilds, feeling her hand was a bit cold, he asked, "Are you cold? Do you want to put on another layer of clothing?"
Daohua shook her head, "I'm fine." She looked ahead into the dimly lit forest with concern and asked, "If we go further in, won't we be more likely to encounter fierce beasts like tigers and blind bears?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and held Daohua's hand tighter, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Daohua nodded, "Let's still be cautious and try to avoid running into wild beasts as much as possible."
Xiao Yeyang said, "There are Hidden Guards ahead of us watching. If they spot any wild beasts, they will signal us, and we'll just avoid them."
