In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

His voice echoed in the cave with convincing power.

After listening to Wang Jianguo's detailed explanation, He Yushui bit her lower lip slightly, her brows still slightly furrowed, and a look of half-belief and half-doubt in her eyes.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Wang Jianguo:

"Well, Brother Jianguo, please go and come back soon. If you don't come back for too long, I will go find you."

There was a hint of reluctance and worry in her voice, and her hands twisted unconsciously together.

Wang Jianguo looked at He Yushui's expression, feeling both moved and amused. He smiled and stood up while walking aside and said:

"Don't worry, I value my life very much and will protect myself."

As he spoke, he walked to the cave entrance, tightened his cotton coat again, checked the hunting knife on his waist, and only after making sure that everything was safe did he strode into the snow.

His figure quickly disappeared in the white snow and wind, leaving He Yushui in the cave. He looked at the cave entrance with worry, and looked at An An's family in the cave from time to time, silently praying that Wang Jianguo would return safely.

In the deep mountains of the Great Northern Wilderness covered in ice and snow, Wang Jianguo was carrying a secret in his heart, but he remained calm and tried to comfort He Yushui.

In fact, although his words of assurance to He Yushui that there was no danger nearby were not completely false, they concealed a more crucial truth - this piece of forest had lost its former vitality.

In the coldest months of winter, the biting cold wind whistled like a knife, making the branches tremble and creak.

Looking around, there was a desolate scene all around. The flowers, plants and trees had withered one after another in this harsh season, leaving only the broken branches and leaves shivering under the white snow.

The once vibrant and spiritual forests now seem like a distant dream, and have now been replaced by this bone-chilling reality.

Wang Jianguo knew very well that if he wanted to obtain enough spiritual energy to sustain his own needs, relying solely on the small prey around him would be far from enough.

The spiritual energy contained in those small animals such as hares and pheasants was so weak that it was almost non-existent. To him, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Only large wild beasts, with their strong physique and vigorous vitality, can accumulate considerable spiritual energy in their bodies and become his life-saving straw at the moment.

After secretly making up his mind, Wang Jianguo pretended to be calm and said goodbye to He Yushui, and then walked resolutely towards the depths of the forest.

With every step he took, the thick snow under his feet would make a "crunching" sound that could be heard far away in the silent forest.

He knew in his heart that his absence would not be short, and He Yushui would inevitably be worried about being left alone in the cave.

Thinking of this, he involuntarily quickened his pace.

The cold wind blew into his collar, freezing him to the bone, but Wang Jianguo was completely unaware. His mind was filled with thoughts on how to find a large wild beast in the shortest possible time and absorb enough spiritual energy from it.

His eyes were firm as he shuttled through the snow-capped mountains and forests with a sharp gaze, not missing any corner where prey might be hiding.

Although the road ahead is long and full of unknowns and hardships, for the sake of that glimmer of hope, he can only muster up his courage and move towards the depths of the unknown, even if it means temporarily putting aside his concerns about He Yushui.

As he was walking, Wang Jianguo suddenly stopped and looked back in the direction of the cave. The cave was now hidden in the whiteness, and only a vague outline could be seen.

He sighed slightly and muttered silently in his heart:

"Yushui, just wait patiently, I will come back as soon as possible."

Then, he turned around again, facing the cold wind, his figure gradually walked away, gradually blending into this vast world of ice and snow, leaving only a string of deep and shallow footprints extending into the distance.

Wang Jianguo trudged through the vast snowy field, one step deep and one step shallow. The biting cold wind cut his face like an ice knife. Every breath he exhaled instantly condensed into a white mist in the air.

All around was a dead silent world covered in silver. As far as the eye could see, there was only the white snow and bare tree trunks trembling in the cold wind, as if all life had been completely frozen by the severe cold.

However, after walking for a while, his nostrils suddenly moved slightly, and a faint, elegant and refreshing floral scent quietly entered his nasal cavity.

The fragrance was like a spring breeze, gently blowing across the desolation in his heart, instantly dispelling some of the coldness.

Wang Jianguo was stunned, his face full of surprise, and he was secretly wondering:

It was the coldest time of the year, and in this icy and snowy place, not to mention flowers in full bloom, even a single green leaf was hard to find. How could the fragrance of flowers emerge out of nowhere? This was simply against common sense!

Full of doubts, Wang Jianguo stopped his hurried steps, closed his eyes, and concentrated on sniffing with his nose.

The fragrance of the flowers was like an invisible thread, pulling him to change his direction involuntarily, and walk step by step towards the place where the fragrance was strongest.

He walked very slowly, fearing that he would lose this rare fragrance by accident. He took each step carefully, leaving a trail of shallow footprints on the snow.

In this way, Wang Jianguo walked more than a mile while searching.

When he walked around a dense bush, the sight before him made him open his eyes wide and his jaw almost dropped - in this freezing deep mountain, a paradise with lush flowers and plants miraculously appeared!

The colorful flowers look particularly beautiful against the backdrop of the white snow. They cluster together, vying with each other for beauty, and each one blooms in the most gorgeous posture.

The tender green grass poked its head out from under the thick snow, as if happily welcoming his arrival. Crystal clear water droplets hung on the leaves, sparkling in the dim light like tiny diamonds.

Wang Jianguo couldn't believe his eyes and was stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses. Then, an ecstatic smile broke out on his face, and he ran towards the sea of ​​flowers as happy as a child.

His feet moved rapidly across the snow, bringing up flakes of snow. At this moment, his heart and eyes were filled with only this magical land of flowers and plants, and he had completely forgotten the fatigue and hardships along the way.

Wang Jianguo calmed down a little after he ran closer. He knew that time was running out and he had no time to explore why this place was so magical, as if it violated the laws of nature.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to quickly collect spiritual energy and not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! So, he couldn't wait to close his eyes, concentrate his mind, and prepare to open that mysterious space.
