Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

Everyone began to look for other paths.

But they soon discovered that there was endless grassland all around them and there was no other way to go.

"What should we do now?" Mo Chen said with a frown.

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that we can only force our way through. Everyone be careful and try not to have a direct conflict with the monsters."

Everyone nodded and tightened their weapons, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Just as they were about to leave, Ye Ling'er suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I might have a solution."

Everyone looked at her in surprise, wondering what she could do.

Ye Ling'er took out a small jade bottle from her bosom and said, "This is a bottle of potion I accidentally found in the ancient castle. It is said to be able to drive away monsters. I don't know if it will work, but you can try it."

Lu Yuan took the jade bottle, opened the cap and smelled it. A pungent smell hit him. He frowned and said, "This smell is so bad, can it really be useful?"

Ye Ling'er smiled and said, "I'm not sure either, but it's better to try than not to try."

Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay, let's give it a try."

He sprinkled the potion on everyone and the surrounding grass, then walked forward cautiously.

The magical thing is that after smelling the potion, those monsters that were originally aggressive actually retreated one after another, with fear in their eyes.

"It really works!" Mo Chen said in surprise.

Everyone took the opportunity to quicken their pace and quickly passed through the monster's territory.

After all the trouble, everyone was exhausted.

They found a safe place and stopped again to rest.

Lu Yuan looked at Ye Ling'er, his heart filled with gratitude.

"Miss Ling'er, this time it's all thanks to you, otherwise we would be in trouble."

Ye Ling'er smiled slightly: "Brother Lu Yuan, don't say that, we are all together, and we should help each other."

Lu Yuan nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to continue the previous topic.

"Miss Ling'er, actually I..." Lu Yuan just opened his mouth when Ye Ling'er suddenly interrupted him.

"Brother Lu Yuan, you don't have to say anything. I know you have your own secrets. If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you." Ye Ling'er said.

Mo Chen was listening to Ye Ling'er's words and was so moved that his eyes were slightly red. He kept saying, "Miss Ling'er, you are such a good girl! If it weren't for you along the way, we don't know how much trouble we would have encountered."

Ye Ling'er felt a little embarrassed by what Mo Chen said, her cheeks flushed, and she said softly: "Brother Mo Chen, don't say that, I just did what I could."

Lu Yuan looked at Ye Ling'er's shy appearance, and felt more and more that she was not simple.

How could a woman who had been imprisoned in an ancient castle have so many tricks and ideas?
Not only could she come up with a potion to repel monsters, she also always cleverly avoided questions about herself and asked him about the Son of God in both open and covert ways.

Lu Yuan thought to himself that he wanted to see what Ye Ling'er was going to do.

After a short rest, everyone continued to move forward.

Along the way, Mo Chen kept chatting with Ye Ling'er, and his attitude towards her became more and more intimate.

And Ye Ling'er always responded with a smile, and the atmosphere between the two was very harmonious.

Lu Yuan walked silently by the side, observing Ye Ling'er's every move.

As we walked, a wide river appeared in front of us.

The river water is clear and you can see the bottom. The current is fast and there are some ice cubes floating on the river surface.

"What should we do? How do we cross the river?" Mo Chen looked at the river and frowned.

Lu Yuan walked forward, carefully observed the river's condition, and then said, "The river is too fast, we can't cross it rashly. Let's look along the river bank to see if there is a shallower place or a bridge."

Everyone nodded in agreement and began to search along the river bank. After walking for a while, they found a dilapidated wooden bridge. The wooden bridge spanned the river and looked a little shaky.

"This bridge doesn't look very solid. Can we walk on it?" Ye Ling'er said worriedly.

Lu Yuan walked onto the wooden bridge, stepped on it hard, and said, "Although the bridge is a bit old, it should still be able to bear our weight. Everyone be careful and cross one by one." After that, Lu Yuan took the lead and walked onto the wooden bridge.

He walked carefully, taking every step with great caution.

Ye Ling'er followed closely behind him, clutching the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands, a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Don't be afraid, walk slowly." Lu Yuan comforted softly.

Ye Ling'er nodded, trying to calm herself down.

Ye Qianmo was watching from the side, but he had a strange feeling in his heart.

When they walked to the middle of the bridge, they suddenly heard a creaking sound and the wooden bridge began to shake violently.

"Oh no, the bridge is going to collapse!" Mo Chen shouted loudly.

Everyone's heart tightened and they quickened their pace. Just when they were about to reach the other side, the wooden bridge finally couldn't bear the weight and broke with a "crack".

Lu Yuan and Ye Ling'er fell into the river along with the broken wooden board.

"Brother Lu Yuan! Miss Ling'er!" Ye Qianmo and Mo Chen exclaimed.

They hurried to the river and saw Lu Yuan and Ye Ling'er struggling in the rushing water.

Lu Yuan swam hard towards Ye Ling'er, grabbed her arm and pulled her to his side.

"How are you?" Lu Yuan asked loudly.

Ye Ling'er was choked by the water and couldn't speak, she just kept coughing.

Lu Yuan held her tightly, trying to keep his balance, and drifted downstream along with the current.

Ye Qianmo and Mo Chen were anxiously looking for a way to cross the river on the shore.

Finally, they found a place where the water flow was relatively slow, and they jumped into the river without hesitation and swam towards Lu Yuan and Ye Ling'er.

With the efforts of the two, Lu Yuan and Ye Ling'er were finally rescued to shore.

Ye Ling'er was so frightened that her face turned pale and her whole body was shaking.

"Miss Ling'er, are you okay?" Mo Chen asked with concern.

Ye Ling'er shook her head and said weakly: "I'm fine, thank you."

Lu Yuan sat on the ground, breathing heavily.

His clothes were soaked and his hair stuck to his face, making him look extremely disheveled.

He looked at Ye Ling'er, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

This woman always causes him trouble unintentionally, but he cannot ignore her.

"Okay, everyone, take a break and dry your clothes." Ye Qianmo said.

Everyone found a sheltered place to sit down and began to organize their clothes. Mo Chen took out some dry food and water from his backpack and handed them to Lu Yuan and Ye Ling'er.

"Eat something to replenish your energy."

Mo Chen said.

Lu Yuan took the dry food and started eating in silence.

Ye Ling'er leaned against a tree and rested with her eyes closed.

After a while, Ye Ling'er's face gradually returned to its rosy color.

She opened her eyes, looked at Lu Yuan, and said softly: "Brother Lu Yuan, today is really thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I might..."

Lu Yuan interrupted her and said, "Don't talk about this. We are all in this together. We should take care of each other."

Ye Ling'er smiled slightly, with a barely perceptible gleam in her eyes. (End of this chapter)
