Lin Wanqing smiled in response, "Yes, indeed, Guihua sister, with you and the adorable children accompanying us, this journey will certainly be filled with warmth."

As she spoke, Liu Guihua turned slightly, and with the agility of a snake, her whip gently brushed the small hand of the baby in Lin Wanqing's arms. The baby giggled, its clear laughter echoing across the grasslands, adding a touch of warmth and joy to the long journey.

However, the peaceful journey did not last long.

One evening, as the sunset dyed the grasslands a golden hue, Shi Feiyang and his group were preparing to find a suitable place to camp.

Suddenly, a low, mournful howl of wolves echoed from afar, reverberating across the open grasslands.

"Divine Archer" Miao Menlong's expression turned solemn as he cautiously gripped his bow and said, "Grand Squad Leader, judging from the sound, a pack of wolves might be approaching."

Shi Feiyang looked into the distance and saw numerous dark shapes slowly moving.

He immediately ordered, "Everyone, stay alert and form a circular defensive formation to protect the women and children." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The group swiftly took action, surrounding the horses to form a barrier.

Lin Wanqing held her son tightly. Though a hint of tension was in her eyes, determination prevailed.

Liu Guihua placed Little Yu Yan down from her back, shielded her, and drew the long whip from her waist, its tip gently swaying in the wind.

Little Yu Yan widened her eyes, curiously watching and murmured, "Wow, are those wolves? I've never seen them." Liu Guihua softly scolded, "Little Yu Yan, don't run around, stay behind sister-in-law, wolves are fierce creatures."

The wolf pack was getting closer, their eyes glinting an eerie green under the moonlight, like ghostly flames.

The lead wolf howled towards the sky, and the pack surged forward like a tide of darkness.

Shi Feiyang, wielding the Celestial Frost Blade, moved like lightning to meet the wolves head-on.

He shouted, "Today, none of you vile wolves shall return!" As his sharp blade swung, a cold light flashed, instantly slaying several wolves.

Miao Menlong bent his bow and shot arrows, each one finding its mark, causing the wolves hit to howl in pain.

Shan Zhi, on the side, seized the opportunity to throw plum blossom darts, each dart hitting vital points.

Watching this extraordinary battle with the wolf pack, Lin Wanqing said to Liu Guihua, "Guihua sister, we cannot hold everyone back; we must protect them."

Liu Guihua nodded in response, "Sister Lin, don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will harm our people."

As she spoke, she swung her long whip, its tip danced like a spiritual snake, leaving blood marks on the wolves closing in.

Little Yu Yan, hidden behind Liu Guihua, watched the heroes fight the wolves with unblinking eyes, mumbling, "Drive away the big bad wolves, protect little nephew." After an intense battle, the wolf pack gradually could not withstand and began to flee.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief as Shi Feiyang sheathed his weapon, saying, "Is everyone alright?" The group responded, assuring they were fine.

Liu Guihua picked up Little Yu Yan, smiling as she asked, "Little Yu Yan, were you scared earlier?"

Little Yu Yan shook her head, excitedly saying, "No, sister-in-law is so amazing, and the uncles, they drove away the big bad wolves!"

Everyone smiled with relief, packed up their gear, and continued to search for a suitable place to camp. This encounter with the wolf pack added a thrilling element to the journey across the grasslands.

After setting up camp, the night on the grasslands was exceptionally quiet, broken only by the occasional sound of insects.

Shi Feiyang arranged for shifts to keep watch, then rested in the tent.

However, in the middle of the night, the ground began to shake violently, as if an invisible giant hand was shaking the land.

Shi Feiyang woke with a start, rushed out of the tent, and saw cracks appearing on the ground in the distance, dust billowing up.

"Not good, it's an earthquake!" Shi Feiyang shouted.

Everyone hurriedly ran out of the tents, their expressions filled with panic.

Shi Feiyang quickly calmed down, instructing everyone, "Don't panic, run to open areas, avoid spots that might collapse!"

Liu Guihua tightly held Little Yu Yan's hand, while Lin Wanqing clutched her son, heading towards safety under the protection of the group.

The tremors grew more intense, and distant hills began to collapse, rocks falling like raindrops.

Shi Feiyang, protecting his family, kept a keen eye on the surroundings.

Suddenly, a massive boulder came crashing towards Lin Wanqing, but Shi Feiyang, with quick reflexes, leapt up and used the Celestial Frost Blade to split the boulder in two.

The boulder hit the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Husband, be careful!" Liu Guihua shouted. The ground split rapidly beneath Shi Feiyang's feet, and before he could evade, he fell into the fissure. "Feiyang!" Lin Wanqing and Liu Guihua cried in anguish.

The group gathered anxiously by the fissure.

In the moment he fell, Shi Feiyang used his Lightweight Technique and saw a protruding rock in the depths of the crack. He leapt, grabbing the rock with all his strength. He looked up and shouted, "I'm fine, don't worry!"

Miao Menlong and Shan Zhi, hearts racing, searched around with sharp eyes and finally found a sturdy rope.

The two swiftly lowered one end of the rope into the terrifying abyss, shouting, "Grand Squad Leader, grab the rope!"

In the fissure, relying on his extraordinary Lightweight Technique, Shi Feiyang maneuvered through the air, his body turning like a swallow. Seizing the moment, he thrust out his right hand, grasped the rope firmly, and called out, "Pull me up!"

Everyone worked together, gritting their teeth, sweat trickling down their foreheads as the rope stretched taut, making creaking sounds. Through their unwavering effort, Shi Feiyang finally emerged, returning to the surface.
