After separating from Jing Suiyang, Liang Chongyue felt a chill at the tip of her ear. Without looking, she directly grabbed the little snake that Lian Chi had sent to her room the night before they set off.

The pure black little snake twisted into a ball in Liang Chongyue's hand, as if it was acting coquettishly. Liang Chongyue bought fresh raw meat from the mall and fed it into its mouth. Only after it was full did it completely calm down. Liang Chongyue put the little snake back into his arms and began to look for the largest beauty pine tree in the beauty pine forest.

Liang Chongyue had only taken a few steps when he felt the warhorse's nervousness. Even the little snake that had been cocooning in its arms for a while poked its head out.

Liang Chongyue tightened the reins in his hands, quickly listened to the sound and located the source of the tension of the warhorse and the little snake. It was behind a hillside and should be a large wild beast.

Liang Chongyue revealed the sleeve crossbow on his arm, ready to fight at any time. After a while, the warhorse's tension eased. The little snake was still standing on Liang Chongyue's shoulder, spitting out its tongue towards the hillside from time to time. Liang Chongyue asked the system to investigate the movement behind the hillside in front.

After seeing the tiger's tail disappear from the panel, Liang Chongyue didn't know why the tiger discovered her, ambushed her for so long, and finally left.

But it is definitely not safe here. Liang Chongyue turned her horse around and began to look for the largest beauty pine tree in the forest. The system was also remotely controlling the micro camera to help her search.

Three pairs of eyes searched together, but in the end the system found it first. Liang Chongyue and Jing Suiyang were searching very slowly because of their limited vision and unfamiliarity with the terrain.

"Host, the beauty pine tree is about fifty meters ahead of you. The road ahead is relatively flat. Just keep going forward."

With the system as a terrain detector, Liang Chongyue didn't know how much more worry he had saved. After walking in front of the huge beauty pine tree, Liang Chongyue rode his horse around the beauty pine tree. When he returned to the original place, he had a small snake-shaped robot in his hand.

"I'll put this down, and you can try to control it. It's probably not as smart as you."

Liang Chongyue only bought cheap things. The things in the system mall are not too bad, but they are definitely not as good as the expensive ones.

During the time she was away, her uncle had led his troops to conquer half of the northern border. There was a city with a small capital and few defenders, and the leader of the defending army committed suicide before her uncle attacked, and hung his head on the city wall, just begging her uncle to spare the people in the city.

The army suffered a lot of casualties. Half of the dozens of bottles of life-saving medicine that Liang Chongyue left behind before setting off, which cost her a lot of luck, had been used up.

Every night when she couldn't travel quickly, Liang Chongyue would look at the situation of the army on the panel. This stick was hitting much faster than she expected, but the closer the army got to the Northern Imperial City, the greater the resistance it encountered.

While Liang Chongyue was thinking, the system had already controlled the little snake to drill into the beauty pine, and the situation inside the beauty pine from the little snake's perspective appeared on the panel.

As Liang Chongyue expected, only the thick outer layer of bark of this beauty pine tree was still growing, and most of the inside had been hollowed out. Perhaps they had to bend over and arch their bodies to get into this secret passage, but the little snake, which was not even as big as Liang Chongyue's hand, could move freely in it.

"It's almost an hour. I'll go back and reunite with Jing Suiyang. Thanks to you, little dog, for continuing to control it."

After Liang Chongyue finished speaking, she turned her horse around and returned the same way. When she returned to the place where she and Jing Suiyang had separated, she saw that Jing Suiyang had already returned and was still looking around, trying to find her.

When Liang Chongyue appeared in front of Jing Suiyang, the worried look in his eyes changed instantly. He rode his horse towards her as bright as the brightest star in the night sky.

"Your Highness, I have found the largest one, but I'm not sure if it is the one you are looking for."

Liang Chongyue had already found the tree she was looking for. She took out some dried meat and a roll from the bag on her back and stuffed them into Jing Suiyang's hands.

"Eat while you walk, and come back to get more when you're done. You must eat your fill during this meal."

Otherwise, Liang Chongyue couldn’t guarantee when the next meal would be.

Liang Chongyue started eating as he spoke. Jing Suiyang lightly pinched the warhorse's belly, and the horse consciously followed the pace of the warhorse ridden by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Looking at his hands stuffed with dried meat and wraps, recalling the soldiers patrolling on the Gyeongju city wall, and combined with what Her Royal Highness the Princess had just said, Jing Sui Yang had a feeling that a big battle was about to begin.

Liang Chongyue didn't know what was going on in Jing Suiyang's mind. She was watching the road while watching the live broadcast on the panel.

The secret passage was dark and deep. Fortunately, the system had body shape replication turned on. Otherwise, just by looking at the infrared video on the panel, Liang Chongyue couldn't tell whether she could pass through the secret passage with her body shape.

When Liang Chongyue brought Jing Suiyang to the towering ancient tree, the system controlled the snake to move at five times the speed. According to the map, they had not yet left the territory of Qingzhou.

"How long have you been in there?"

Jing Suiyang was marveling at the enormity of the tree before him. Liang Chongyue, chewing on some dried meat, asked the system:

"An hour and forty minutes have already passed, host. The instrument just released its calculations. If you and Jing Suiyang go in, it will probably take at least three hours to reach where the little snake is now."

Liang Chongyue was also keeping a close eye on the speed of the little snake. She had 100% confidence in the results calculated by the system instruments.

"Keep speeding up, little snake. I want to know how long it will take Jing Suiyang and I to complete the journey."

Seeing that it was about to get dark, Jing Suiyang saw that His Highness was staring at the huge beauty pine without any other reaction, so he dismounted and began to collect the relatively clean snow around into a bowl. This place was close to Gyeongju, so they couldn't light a fire casually, otherwise there might be a risk of being discovered.

Liang Chongyue saw everything Jing Suiyang did, but said nothing. Her attention was now mainly focused on the little snake on the panel.

The system has adjusted the speed of the little snake to fifty times the speed, which is equivalent to the speed she rides on a horse on the plains. Looking at the topographic map, the red dot representing the little snake is moving quickly.

The results of the instrument are constantly changing. As the time displayed on it becomes longer and longer, the oxygen content has remained at a low value. This trip will probably take a whole day to walk underground.
