Chapter 638: Chapter 577, Thousand-Year Polygonum Multiflorum_1

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."

Throughout the journey, their group narrowly avoided direct encounters with wild beasts several times.

The first time they encountered a black bear, the second a tiger, and the third was the most dangerous—a pack of wolves hunting for food. Fortunately, the Hidden Guards discovered them early; had the wolves set their sights on them, even if they could have escaped, it’s likely that someone would have been injured.

As the light in the mountains gradually dimmed, by mid-afternoon, the group arrived at a lush, dense broadleaf forest.

Feeling the damp air around her, Daohua tugged at Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang turned around, "What’s wrong?"

Daohua said, "Have everyone search this forest, especially around the decayed wood."

Xiao Yeyang nodded, raised his hand to gesture, and the following Hidden Guards dispersed into the surroundings.

Seeing Daohua heading deeper into the forest, Xiao Yeyang quickly followed her.

Soon after, Wang Manman suddenly cried out in surprise, pointing joyfully at the base of a piece of decayed wood a few meters away.

By that moment, Daohua had already quickened her pace toward the decayed wood.

At the base and around the decayed wood, there were several Lingzhi mushrooms sprouting in purplish-black hues.

Daohua squatted down and carefully plucked the Lingzhi, and De Fu eagerly handed her a box that had been prepared in advance to store the mushrooms.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang called out, instructing the others to search more thoroughly.

Regrettably, in the end, only a few Lingzhi were found in that forest.

With their achievements, both Daohua and Xiao Yeyang were delighted. As the day was ending, they found a cave nearby to set up camp, prepared to rest for the night and continue the next day.

Early the next morning, with some light shining through the forest, the group continued on their way.

With the previous day’s experience, by noon, Daohua led everyone to another broadleaf forest.

This time, without any reminder, everyone automatically began to search.

"Daohua, come over here and look."

Xiao Yeyang, with a keen eye, found two Lingzhi on the base of a rotting tree.

Daohua smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "Be careful when picking it, don’t damage the stipe."

"Don’t worry, I know."

Xiao Yeyang was eager to personally pick the Lingzhi he had discovered.

Seeing his gentle movements, Daohua didn’t interfere and continued walking forward. As she walked, she smelled a faint medicinal fragrance in the air, which made her quicken her steps.

After about a quarter of an hour, she arrived at the edge of a cliff.

Seeing the vigorously growing vine on the cliffside, Daohua felt a surge of joy. She had thought they wouldn’t find any He Shou Wu on this trip, but here it was.

"Xiao Yeyang, come over here quickly!"

Daohua called back, too immersed in her excitement to notice the ’hissing’ sound coming from a tree trunk above her head. Just as she was about to dig up the He Shou Wu, a python as thick as a human arm suddenly appeared in her line of sight and frightened her into falling backward.

"Ah~"

Meanwhile, Xiao Yeyang, happily holding the two Lingzhi he had picked, was about to find Daohua to share his joy, but when he turned around, he realized she was missing.

"Where’s Daohua?"

Wang Manman and Bi Shi were also taken aback. De Fu had just found another Lingzhi and they went to look at it, not paying attention to their mistress. After searching the area and not finding her, they anxiously said, "Little Prince, wasn’t the maiden always with you?"

Xiao Yeyang frowned, handed over the Lingzhi to De Fu, and led the Hidden Guards forward to search.

When Xiao Yeyang followed the sound and found the edge of the cliff, Daohua was hanging from a tree branch on the precipice, less than a meter away from her, a python with several bloodstains on its body was rearing its neck with its mouth wide open, poised and staring intently at Daohua.
