Du Meiqi was frightened to the point that her face turned pale. Her legs felt weak and she was unable to walk. Qin Hai and Shen Meng had no other choice but to stop and rest.


Qin Hai took the opportunity to give Du Meiqi and Miao Qing leg massage and imbued them with true essence. He helped them relax their muscles and also helped them quickly recover their physical strength.

Qin Hai had originally wanted to help push Shen Meng, but when Qin Hai's hands had just landed on her legs, Shen Meng laughed and pushed his hands away, "It's too itchy, I can't take it anymore, leave me be!"

Shen Meng had insisted on not letting Qin Hai give her a push. Qin Hai had no other choice. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly became alarmed and grabbed a nearby knife and threw it at his head.

With a bang, a rock the size of a basketball was split into pieces by the machete, and flew into the bushes beside it. Du Meiqi and Miao Qing screamed out repeatedly in fear. They hurriedly clutched their heads and hid beside Qin Hai. Qin Hai, on the other hand, vigilantly looked towards the cliff above them.

Shen Meng stood up and looked up with Qin Hai.

"What's going on?"

"There seemed to be someone up there just now." Qin Hai voiced out the doubts in his heart. Previously, he really had felt that there was someone on the cliff. Furthermore, that person was the one who threw the stone down. But now, if he observed more carefully, there was no movement from the top of the cliff at all.


"Could it be a monkey?" Shen Meng looked at it for a while and voiced out her doubts, "There are quite a few monkeys in this mountain. Some monkeys like to throw rocks and smash people."


Qin Hai wasn't sure either. He just reminded everyone to be careful and then the group of four continued to climb forward.


With Qin Hai's input of true essence, Du Meiqi and Miao Qing were like two completely different people. Not only were they full of energy, but they were also full of physical energy, as if they had just entered a mountain.

Finally, when Qin Hai extended his hand over again, Shen Meng hesitated for a moment before grabbing Qin Hai's hand. To her surprise, a warm current flowed out and quickly fused into her body. All of her fatigue was instantly swept away, causing Shen Meng to be greatly surprised.

"Is this your inner force? Why is it so magical?" Shen Meng asked in surprise.

"I don't know either. It seems to be different from the inner strength that other people can produce." Qin Hai explained with a smile. He did not let go of Shen Meng's hand.

Shen Meng was attracted by Qin Hai's miraculous Quintessential Essence. She carefully felt it for a long time before she finally regained her senses. Then, she embarrassedly pulled her hand out from Qin Hai's palm.

Shen Meng raised her head and looked at Du Meiqi and Miao Qing who were already in front of her. After confirming that they hadn't seen what had just happened, she calmed down a little and said, "Last time, you said that you could reverse the secret technique in the Daoist Canon. Do you think that it has something to do with your internal energy?" "If that's really the case, then I believe you're the only one in this world who can completely reverse the mantra."

Qin Hai said with a smile, "As long as you can endure the pain, I will let you experience it when I have the chance. Maybe I can help you improve your inner strength."

Shen Meng smiled and said, "Of course I don't have a problem with that!"

At this moment, her face suddenly changed. She hastily stretched out her hand towards Qin Hai and shouted, "Quick, catch me!"

At the same time, Shen Meng's right foot had sunk deep into a patch of withered yellow grass. Clearly, there was a bottomless crevice there.

In this critical moment, Qin Hai quickly reached out and grabbed Shen Meng's arm, pulling her up from the crack.


All of this happened in a split-second. After escaping from danger, Shen Meng was so scared that her face turned pale and her legs went soft. She could only lean against Qin Hai's body. It was only when she recovered from her shock that she realized she was leaning against Qin Hai. Du Meiqi and Miao Qing were looking at her and Qin Hai with strange expressions on their faces.


Shen Meng's face immediately flushed red. She quickly took two steps back and left Qin Hai's embrace. However, the stabbing pain from her ankle made her cry out in pain. She had no choice but to support Qin Hai's body again.

Qin Hai helped Shen Meng sit on the ground and helped her roll up her pants. He noticed that her ankle was slightly bruised and there were also some bruises on it. Qin Hai quickly took out a medicine box from his backpack and gave Shen Meng a simple bandage. After doing all of this, he did not care about Shen Meng's refusal and insisted on giving her a simple massage.

Just when Qin Hai's hands were about to touch Shen Meng's ankles, what made Shen Meng and Du Meiqi surprised was that Qin Hai suddenly grabbed a stone from the ground and threw it towards the cliff wall above.


And what made them even more shocked was that there was actually a miserable scream coming from the cliff.


There was really someone up there!


With this, Du Meiqi and Miao Qing were scared out of their wits. They fearfully and uneasily looked up the cliff. Even Shen Meng's complexion had turned pale.

Qin Hai stared at the cliff for a while before saying, "Don't worry, that person has already left!"

"Aunt, could it be a savage? I heard from them that there are likely to be barbarians in this mountain. " Du Meiqi was terrified. She hugged Shen Meng tightly, her voice trembling.


Qin Hai smiled, "How can there be any savages? They are probably just mountain people. Maybe they are the people from the village ahead."


"The Miao Family members are kind and hospitable. They probably won't throw rocks at us!" Du Meiqi retorted.


Qin Hai smiled, too lazy to lower himself to her level. At this time, Shen Meng had already calmed down and said, "No matter who it is, everyone needs to be careful. If something happens in the mountains, there won't be any police to help us. "

After what happened just now, Du Meiqi and Miao Qing no longer dared to stay too far away from Qin Hai. They followed closely behind him and Shen Meng, not even a single inch away.

However, although the climb was arduous, they did not encounter the dangerous situation from before. In the end, they successfully climbed over the last hill.


As soon as they had climbed over a hill, a primitive mountain stronghold appeared in their line of sight, quietly standing on the mountainside in front of them. Separated by a cove, they could clearly see the various large and small houses in the village. They could even vaguely see people walking between the houses. In the cove, a field of farmland was clearly visible.

"That's the QingWang stronghold. Let's go, we'll rest over there."

Upon seeing the QingWang stronghold, everyone seemed quite excited, as if all the fatigue and fatigue from just a moment ago had disappeared in an instant. They chatted and laughed all the way down the mountain and headed towards the QingWang stronghold on the opposite side of the col.


Not long after Qin Hai and the others left, a man with a black scarf wrapped around his head from Miao Family appeared where they had been standing a moment ago.


The Miao Family man was about twenty years old. He carried a bamboo basket that he made himself on his back. Besides some game, he also carried a machete and a homemade bow and arrow.


He looked at the backs of Qin Hai and the others from afar. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of excitement.
