After Yang Xia finished speaking, he waved to them and then walked to the side of the cave.

Then, following the instructions provided by the app, he opened the cave.

Those behind were shocked to see how easily Yang Xia opened the cave.

Because they had tried countless methods here, but had been unable to affect the cave in the slightest.

To their surprise, their king opened the cave with ease as soon as he arrived, which truly shocked them.

Not only the Imperial Guards beside him, but even Meng Yin's gaze towards Yang Xia changed.

Peony silently followed Yang Xia, her face expressionless, like a shadow, staying close to him.

After Yang Xia opened the cave, he led everyone inside.

Just as Yang Xia led everyone into the cave, deep in the heart of another mountain...

Meng Yu finally broke free from the place where they had been trapped.

They were indeed trapped in a cemetery and couldn't get out.

The place is riddled with traps and fraught with danger, making it impossible to uncover its secrets.

Thanks to Yang Xia who guided them from the outside, they were able to walk out of there safely.

But when they came out, they all had strange looks in their eyes.

They were underground before, but when they came out, they found themselves facing an extremely large mountain.

When they saw the mountain peak, both the Imperial Guards and Meng Yu were stunned.

"General, what's going on? Have we taken the wrong path again?"

The Imperial Guards looked at the towering mountain before them, a strange expression on their faces.

They had already endured countless hardships underground.

They thought it was all over, but unexpectedly, after they came out, they encountered another mountain peak.

The mountain was so huge that they simply couldn't get over it.

Meng Yu was also bewildered by what he saw.

Because he didn't know what was going on, nor did he know why the mountain peaks appeared underground, and why they were connected.

After observing their surroundings, they realized that they had emerged from underground.

However, they are not sure where they are right now.

Meng Yu looked around at his surroundings, then took out the map that Yang Xia had given him before he left.

He glanced at the map in his hand, then compared it to the mountain in front of him, a faint smile flashing in his eyes.

It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it.

I've been searching for so long, but I still haven't found the right route.

Unexpectedly, this accidental discovery led them to the location marked on the map.

"This is the place the King instructed us to find, but I never expected it to be hidden here!" Meng Yu said with a strange expression.

The Imperial Guards were also taken aback by Meng Yu's words.

They never expected that this accidental discovery would lead them to the place the king had asked them to find.

Seeing the scene before them, everyone couldn't help but get excited.

After all, this place was one of the locations they had been looking for.

Now that they're here, they can't help but feel much more relaxed.

They had already encountered many crises underground, and now that they could see green plants, their mood improved somewhat.

After finding the target location, Meng Yu checked his cell phone signal.

Upon discovering that a signal could be established here, Meng Yu immediately sent Yang Xia the coordinates of their exact location.

After sending the coordinates to Yang Xia, Meng Yu led the Imperial Guards to continue advancing forward.

Having learned from previous experiences, Meng Yu was much more cautious this time.

As Meng Yu led a squad of imperial guards into the woods, a torrential downpour began without warning.

In an instant, everyone was soaked to the bone and chilled to the bone.

Meng Yu was also stunned by this sudden change. They had just crawled out of the ground, hoping to bask in the sun and relax, but they were caught in a downpour as soon as they entered the woods.

Moreover, this rain came on strong and unstoppable.

They were completely drenched.

"General, should we find somewhere to take shelter from the rain?" The Imperial Guard looked up at Meng Yu and asked, gazing at the torrential downpour.

Such heavy rain was extremely detrimental to their continued journey.

After all, they were still at the foot of the mountain.

Once rainwater washes over the mountainside, it can very likely trigger a mudslide.

No matter how skilled they are in martial arts, they are helpless against natural disasters.

Therefore, their most important task right now is to avoid this disaster and then carefully explore the terrain.

To find something that would benefit the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Hearing what the people around him said, Meng Yu nodded secretly and then ordered them to find a cave where they could hide.

However, before they could act, a sudden, earth-shaking tremor struck.

"Oh no, it's a landslide!" Upon hearing the sound, Meng Yu's expression changed drastically, and he immediately told the people around him to find cover on the spot.

Upon hearing Meng Yu's shout, the Imperial Guards immediately hid behind a huge rock.

They didn't expect the mudslide to come so suddenly, giving them absolutely no time to prepare.

It was as if the mudslide was specifically targeting them, and right above their heads.

At this moment, they had nowhere to hide, and if a large rock suddenly slid down from above, it could very likely cause them injury or death.

When they were trying to hide, they tried to conceal their entire bodies behind the rocks.

After seeing that they had taken cover, Meng Yu quickly darted to the side.

Then he carefully hid behind a rock.

Fortunately, there were many rocks in this forest, otherwise they would have been in grave danger.

Because of the rain, there weren't many wild animals here, which reduced their troubles considerably.

After the mudslide subsided, Meng Yu pulled his legs out of the mud and water.

The guards next to them were in no better shape, soaked to the bone, their trouser legs covered in yellow mud.

After they pulled themselves out of the ground, everyone was exhausted.

They had already endured many hardships underground, but they never expected to encounter another crisis after coming out.

The Imperial Guards couldn't help but mutter, "Did we forget to check the auspicious days before we went out? How come we keep running into all sorts of things?"

Just as everyone was preparing to take a good rest and find some food to replenish their strength.

The trees in the distance suddenly swayed.

Because it had just rained, they didn't pay much attention at first.

After they had all moved to a safe area, they discovered pairs of green eyes in the woods.

The Imperial Guards and Meng Yu felt a chill run down their spines when they saw those bright green eyes.

"It's a pack of wolves!" The Imperial Guard's pupils contracted slightly when he saw the creatures darting out of the woods.

If it were other animals, they could fight them.

To their surprise, a pack of wolves emerged from the woods.

Wolves are social animals and are exceptionally ferocious.

Once prey is targeted by them, there is almost no chance of escape.

Judging from the number of wolves, they are simply no match for them with their current abilities. "General, what do we do now?" The Imperial Guard looked at Meng Yu with a bitter expression.

They had been incredibly unlucky lately, especially this expedition, which left them feeling extremely frustrated.

First they encountered a giant python, and now they've run into a pack of wolves.

Is this ever going to end?

Meng Yu couldn't help but make a comment.

He really didn't expect this to happen.

I never expected to encounter a pack of wolves in this place.

If they had been in the mudslide area, they might have been able to fight back against the wolf pack.

But now that the mudslide has passed, they are no match for these wolves.

Moreover, they don't have any suitable weapons, so they are currently helpless against this pack of wolves.

Meng Yu cautiously observed the surrounding environment, then said to the imperial guards beside him, "Listen to my command. When I count to three, you all run towards the mudslide immediately. Don't worry about me!"

A resolute glint flashed in Meng Yu's eyes as he spoke.

The Imperial Guards behind him were shocked when they heard Meng Yu's words.

Everyone shook their heads, absolutely unwilling to leave Meng Yu alone to face the wolf pack.

They already felt useless when they were underground. If they took the opportunity to escape now, what kind of men would they be?
"Stop arguing and just do as I say!" Meng Yu was too lazy to waste words with them. After giving the order, he turned his head and stared intently at the pack of wolves.

The wolves dared not act rashly.

After all, Meng Yu and the others had knives.

These knives are enough to pose a deadly threat to them.

Wolves are very alert animals.

They knew that the group of people in front of them posed a danger to them, so they would not easily launch an attack.

Meng Yu thought that perhaps he could take advantage of this gap to allow the people around him to escape safely.

Without these people dragging him down, he can leave this place safely.

The imperial guards beside him naturally noticed the expression on the general's face.

Seeing the general's expression, they instantly understood.

Because they understood that if they stayed, they would indeed become a burden to the general.

If we leave now, we might still give the general time to escape.

Seeing Meng Yu's expression, they nodded decisively.

Seeing that they agreed, Meng Yu immediately began to count.

When they counted to three, the Imperial Guards immediately rushed towards the mudslide area not far away.

These mudslides also pose a great danger to wolf packs.

Upon seeing their retreat, Meng Yu immediately sprang into action.

When the wolves on the other side saw that these people were trying to escape, they became agitated and launched an attack.

After killing the first few wolves, Meng Yu also rushed into the mudslide.

Once they entered the mudslide area, the wolf pack indeed stopped and howled at them from the opposite bank of the river.

The Imperial Guards breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the general arrive safely.

Just as they were about to take a short rest, a deafening roar suddenly came from the woods.

Upon hearing the roar, everyone tensed up instantly, not daring to linger and immediately heading towards the depths of the mountains.

This place is far too dangerous.

Especially these large wild beasts, appearing one after another, seemingly without end.

They simply cannot complete the task assigned to them by the king unless they find an absolutely safe place.

"Follow me, don't stop!" Meng Yu, who had planned to rest for a while, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the situation before him, and led everyone to run at full speed.

If we stay here, we'll only face death.

We must proceed to a safe place as soon as possible, following the directions marked on the map.

There shouldn't be any wild animals in that area.

So what they should do now is head to the location marked on the map.

The imperial guards beside him, hearing the general's words, naturally did not refute them, and the group continued to advance deeper into the woods.

Along the way, they encountered countless difficulties and dangers.

I nearly lost my life in these woods several times.

They finally breathed a sigh of relief as they approached the location marked on the map.

Because Meng Yu was certain that there was no longer any threat here.

"Everyone can rest here for a bit, take out the meat we hunted earlier and roast it to replenish our energy!" Meng Yu said.

They had been running non-stop for a while and hadn't had a chance to properly replenish their energy.

If it weren't for good luck, there would have been no way I could have gotten to this place.

Now that we've finally made it this far, we naturally need to replenish our energy before completing the last leg of the journey.

The imperial guards beside him naturally noticed the expression on the general's face.

Upon seeing the general issue the order, everyone couldn't help but cheer.

They really had a tough time during that period.

When they were hungry, they could only eat wild fruits nearby, which was not enough to supplement their protein intake.

The body's heat was almost completely depleted.

The general now told them to rest where they were, and they immediately set up camp.

Then he took out the meat he had cut off earlier and roasted it on the spot.

They collected a lot of seasonings along the way, and now that they've rested, they naturally want to enjoy a good meal.

Seeing how diligent they were, Meng Yu's eyes flickered slightly, then she sat down to wait for the food to be ready.

A member of the Imperial Guard saw the general sitting by the tree and looked worried. He carefully walked up to Meng Yu and asked, "General, are you alright?"

Meng Yu looked up at the Imperial Guard and shook his head at him.

"I'm fine, you go help them with the work!"

The Imperial Guards looked at Meng Yu, who looked exhausted, and a strange glint flashed in their eyes, but they still obeyed Meng Yu's orders and walked to the back.

After the Imperial Guards left, a look of pain appeared in Meng Yu's eyes, and he looked down at his abdomen.

The area was stained with blood; he had been injured earlier.

Just as Meng Yu was preparing to treat his wounds, a voice suddenly came from the Imperial Guards: "General, we have discovered a cave!"

Meng Yu gritted his teeth, his brows furrowed tightly, but he still tried his best to keep his voice steady.

"No one is to enter without authorization. Wait for me to arrive and handle this. Also, arrange for some Imperial Guards to work in shifts to guard the surrounding area. Report any unusual activity to me immediately!"

"Yes!"

The Imperial Guards below immediately sprang into action, while Meng Yu tore a piece of cloth from the corner of his clothes and, enduring the intense pain in his abdomen, made a temporary bandage for his wound.

To prevent himself from fainting due to excessive blood loss, Meng Yu deliberately used a lot of force when bandaging, which made the pain he endured even more intense.

In just a few breaths, Meng Yu's forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat, and his face turned ashen.

But Meng Yu quickly readjusted himself, stood up, and walked toward the place where the Imperial Guards were resting.

"General, look! There's a cave here!" (End of Chapter)
