Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

“Fortunately, there was no disturbance when it was my turn to keep watch,” Castor replied.

Xiao Shi rubbed his sleepy eyes and complained, "Last night I dreamt that I was being chased by a fish monster in the river."

Rena smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, we've already dealt with those fish monsters."

After a simple breakfast, the group packed their bags and continued their journey towards the Arctic. The scenery in the forest changed with their steps, gradually transitioning from lush woodlands to sparse cedar forests.

Walking down the street, Amu suddenly stopped and looked around. "What's wrong?" Su Ting asked.

"I feel like something is watching us," Amu said in a low voice.

“I noticed it too.” Rena held her bowstring taut, ready to deal with any potential danger.

“Everyone, be on your guard,” Castor reminded everyone.

Just then, a rustling sound came from the bushes ahead. A figure appeared silently, holding a long sword, his sharp eyes scrutinizing them.

"Who are you?" the man asked in a cold voice.

“We are explorers searching for fragments of the Silver Moon Tear,” Su Ting replied. “May I ask who you are…?”

“I am Leon, and I have come for the same purpose,” the man introduced himself. “However, I am traveling alone.”

“It’s too dangerous for one person to act alone,” Su Ting said. “Why don’t we cooperate?”

Leon hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded in agreement. "Alright, I can join you, but my movements won't be restricted."

Chapter 864 I'll Cover You

Jeff patted Leon on the shoulder and smiled amicably, "Welcome to our team."

The group of six continued their journey, and as they passed through an open area, they were suddenly attacked by a pack of wolves. These wolves were enormous, with a fierce glint in their eyes, clearly not ordinary wild animals.

"Prepare for battle!" Su Ting shouted, drawing his longsword to meet the lead wolves.

"Be careful, these wolves are very fierce." Rena nocked an arrow and aimed at a wolf that pounced on Su Ting.

"I'll cover you." Jeff brandished his battle axe and engaged the charging wolves in fierce combat.

Amu and Xiaoshi joined the battle, using daggers and short swords to fight off the wolves. Leon, on the other hand, nimbly weaved through the pack, his longsword flashing like lightning as he felled one ferocious wolf after another.

The battle lasted for some time, and the group finally drove off all the wolves, but there were also many injuries. Suting and Lyren both had several minor wounds, while Reina's arm was scratched by wolf claws.

"Luckily, we cooperated well," Su Ting said while bandaging his wound, "otherwise, there might have been even bigger trouble."

“The environment here is getting worse and worse,” Leon said thoughtfully.

“The further north we go, the more treacherous the environment becomes,” Rena chimed in. “We must be even more careful.”

After a short rest, they continued their journey. Passing through a cedar forest, a vast snow-covered plain suddenly opened up before them. The Arctic ice sheet lay before them, and the distant snow-capped mountains shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.

“We’re almost there,” Little Stone said excitedly. “The fragments of the Silver Moon Tear are not far away.”

"Don't be too optimistic," Su Ting cautioned, "there may be more unknown dangers ahead."

“That’s right,” Castor agreed. “We need to remain vigilant.”

Just as they were preparing to continue, a deafening roar suddenly came from the snow-capped mountains ahead. Then, a large amount of ice and snow collapsed, forming a huge snow torrent that rushed towards their location.

"Get out of the way!" Su Ting shouted, and everyone quickly moved away from the direction of the avalanche.

They escaped unharmed, but after the avalanche, the roads became muddy and difficult to traverse.

"Was this avalanche man-made?" Amu asked, frowning.

“Very likely,” Leon replied. “We should be careful that someone is plotting against us from the shadows.”

"No matter what, we must keep moving forward," Su Ting said firmly.

After adjusting their mindset, the group resumed their journey across the Arctic plains. Although the road ahead was fraught with unknowns and dangers, their hearts were filled with unwavering confidence.

"As long as we unite, we will definitely find the last fragment of the Silver Moon Tear," Su Ting encouraged.

“That’s right,” Caster replied, “we will definitely succeed.”

“Then let’s work together.” Leon nodded.

Night fell again, and they set up camp in a sheltered cave. By the campfire, everyone silently contemplated the challenges ahead.

"We'll be heading deep into the Arctic Plains tomorrow," Su Ting said softly.

"I hope there's no more danger there," Rena said softly, looking up at the starry sky.

“In any case, we’ve come this far,” Castor said firmly.

"No matter what, we must persevere to the end," Amu added.

"Yes, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must fight side by side," Xiao Shi said firmly.

Chapter 865 Watching All of This

In the darkness not far away, those green eyes flickered again, as if silently watching everything.

“We must reach the depths of the Arctic Plains safely and find the last fragment of the Silver Moon Tear,” Caster muttered to himself, “to complete our mission.”

The sound of the night wind seemed to carry a mysterious premonition, filling people with anticipation for the future.

The next morning, as the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon, the team was already fully prepared to set off. Su Ting was the first to stand up, his eyes fixed firmly ahead, and said to his teammates, "Everyone, our goal today is to penetrate deep into the Northern Ice Plains and try to find the last fragment of the Silver Moon Tear as quickly as possible. Are you all ready?"

“I’ve been ready for a long time!” Leon’s voice was loud and confident.

“I’m ready to leave anytime,” Rena said with a smile, her eyes gleaming with unwavering determination.

"With Brother Su, we're sure to succeed!" Xiao Shi said excitedly.

“That’s right,” Caster nodded slightly, “we will definitely succeed.”

Amu and Jeff also expressed their determination. The group packed their bags and set off for the depths of the Arctic. Although the muddy roads left by yesterday's avalanche made their journey difficult, their morale was high and unaffected.

Shortly after entering the Arctic, they came to a vast, open snow-covered plain. Several snow-capped mountains came into view in the distance, seemingly defying them. At that moment, snowflakes began to fall, and the temperature plummeted.

"It seems the climate here is very harsh," Rena said softly, looking up at the gray sky.

“Watch your step,” Su Ting warned. “There are ice traps everywhere here; you could fall in if you’re not careful.”

As they proceeded cautiously, a sharp shriek suddenly came from ahead. A huge white snowbird flew by, its wings still covered in frost. The snowbird's gaze swept over the group, emitting a chilling cry.

“This is one of the guardians of the Arctic,” Su Ting explained seriously. “They will not let intruders go easily.”

Sure enough, before he could finish speaking, more snowbirds began to swoop down on them. One of the snowbirds opened its sharp claws and lunged at Su Ting, but was blocked by the longsword in Leon's hand.

"Watch out!" Rena shouted, quickly firing several arrows to force back the two approaching snowbirds.

Jeff roared, swung his battle axe, and smashed it down on a snowbird that was about to attack. The force was so great that even the snowbird could not withstand it, and it was knocked back onto the snow.

On the other side, Xiao Shi, wielding a dagger, moved nimbly through the gaps in the snowbirds' attacks. His movements were agile and precise, each strike avoiding the opponent's vitals and catching them off guard.

"We can't continue like this. We must find a high ground, otherwise we'll remain on the defensive," Su Ting shouted to the others while fending off the snowbirds' swarm attack.

Upon hearing this, Castor quickly looked around and finally spotted a slightly raised snow mound. "Over there! Follow me!" With that, he led the group rapidly toward that spot.

Standing atop the snow-covered hill, the view suddenly opened up considerably, allowing them to clearly see the movements of the snowbirds. Taking advantage of the opportunity, everyone drew their weapons and began to fight back. The snowbirds seemed bewildered by this sudden turn of events, and their offensive immediately subsided.

Chapter 866 A Piercing Scream

Just as the situation was becoming clearer, a particularly large snowbird suddenly appeared in the air, its wingspan exceeding two meters, emitting an even more piercing cry. Clearly, this snowbird was the leader, and upon seeing this, it immediately accelerated towards the humans' location.

"Get out of the way!" Leon warned in time, but before he could finish speaking, the enormous creature had already pounced down from mid-air.

"Leave it to me!" Su Ting roared, leaping up to meet the Snowbird King. He soared high, his longsword flashing a dazzling light in the sunlight, piercing the Snowbird King's heart with unerring accuracy. With a scream, the enormous creature crashed to the ground, and the other smaller birds scattered in panic.

After resolving the snowbird issue, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, they soon fell into deep thought again—this challenge was probably only the beginning, and the real crisis might have only just begun to surface.

"We can't let our guard down. Who knows what we'll encounter next?" Su Ting sheathed his longsword, looked into the distance, and frowned.

“Yes, the environment here is indeed complex and unpredictable,” Leon nodded, “and we always feel like something is watching us from the shadows.”

“No matter how difficult the road ahead, we’ve come this far,” Caster said, brushing the snow off his shoulders. “Now, all we can do is keep moving forward.”

“Yes, no matter what, we must work together to overcome the difficulties,” Rena added.

Just as they decided to continue their journey, a gentle breeze blew by, carrying with it what seemed like faint whispers, as if someone were talking in hushed tones…

"Did you hear that?" Amu suddenly asked.

Everyone immediately stopped and listened intently, but apart from the biting north wind, there was no other sound in the air. However, the feeling of being watched grew stronger, as if some ominous sign was about to descend.

“We need to get out of here quickly,” Su Ting said decisively, his gaze fixed firmly on the unknown road ahead.

So the group didn't linger and quickened their pace, heading deeper into the Arctic plains. Although the future held unknowns and dangers, their mutual trust and determination were like a sharp sword, capable of cutting through any obstacle…

"We must find the last fragment of the Silver Moon Tear no matter what!" Xiao Shi clenched his fist and whispered.

“That’s right, we will definitely accomplish our mission,” Caster replied firmly.

"As long as there is hope, we must keep moving forward." Leon turned to look at his teammates beside him, his eyes full of anticipation for the future.

Just as they quickened their pace, a strange tremor suddenly came from underground, as if something was awakening. The group stopped and nervously looked around. Then, a crack appeared in the ground, and a giant icy claw emerged from it, followed by a colossal ice giant slowly crawling out.

"What is this?" Leon stared in shock at the enormous monster before him, gasping for breath.

"Ice Trolls! There are ice trolls here!" Su Ting's expression turned grave. "They are among the most powerful guardians of the Northern Ice Plains."
