Xue Tianhan, clinging to the hunter's guidance, resolutely embarked on an unknown journey. Along the way, snowflakes danced in the air, blanketing the earth in a blanket of silver. The wind was biting, cutting his face like a knife, but Xue Tianhan's heart was filled with unwavering faith.

As he moved forward, he encountered various wild beasts from time to time. Three ferocious wolves rushed out from the snow, baring their sharp fangs at Xue Tianhan and emitting low growls.

Facing the threat, Xue Tianhan showed no fear and responded with a sneer, "Humph, you think you can block my path forward?"

Before he could finish his words, he quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the wolf's attack. He then quickly drew the dagger from his waist and struck home, instantly dispatching one wolf. The other two wolves attacked from both sides. Xue Tianhan nimbly leaped up, kicking the left wolf in the stomach, then punched the right wolf, causing it to howl and retreat a few steps.

"Today, you are destined to become my prey!" Xue Tianhan roared, charging towards the remaining wolves and engaging in a fierce fight. After a fierce battle, he finally succeeded in subduing the wolves.

With ample food supplies, Xue Tianhan no longer worried about exhausting his energy. Even though his spiritual power was incapable of being used, he relied on his unwavering perseverance and strong body to climb mountains and cross rivers. Every step was filled with hardship and challenges, but he never gave up.

While traveling through a dense forest, Xue Tianhan stumbled upon a hidden cave. Curious, he entered the cave, which was filled with an ancient atmosphere. Cautiously exploring, Xue Tianhan suddenly discovered traces of ancient ruins.

"What is this place?" Xue Tianhan muttered to himself, his voice echoing through the cave. He carefully observed the ancient murals and symbols, his heart filled with curiosity.

The figures on the murals were strange and the symbols were mysterious. Although he did not find the treasure, these mysterious relics aroused his strong interest in the history of this land.

As the journey continued, Xue Tianhan finally walked down the plateau and came to a village on the border of the Minjiang River.

The scenery here was completely different from the camp he had left, full of tranquility and peace. The people in the village lived a more comfortable life, growing various crops, and the fields were lush green; they also raised livestock, and the cries of cattle and sheep could be heard from time to time.

Xue Tianhan's arrival attracted the attention of the villagers. They put down their work and observed the unexpected traveler curiously.

"Excuse me, have you ever seen a woman named Xiaoqi? Or have you ever seen a very yellow puppy, a black kitten, a big white wolf? And two beautiful women with very nice figures?" Xue Tianhan asked with anticipation and a hint of anxiety.

The villagers looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they knew nothing about this person.

Although the search for Xiaoqi and others was fruitless, causing a haze of disappointment to quietly spread deep in Xue Tianhan's heart, the villagers in the villages on the border of Minjiang River gave Xue Tianhan the warmest hospitality with their simple and warm enthusiasm.

An elder smiled and invited, "Young man, you must be tired after the long journey. Come to my house and rest for a while."

"Yes, thank you very much."

During his conversations with the villagers, Xue Tianhan learned that the village was not closely connected to the outside world. A young man explained to him, "We rarely have outsiders visiting here. We almost live a life isolated from the world."

Xue Tianhan decided to stay here for a few days, providing help to the villagers to the best of his ability, and inquiring about the whereabouts of Xiaoqi and others.

While assisting the villagers, Xue Tianhan demonstrated his exceptional hunting skills and survival wisdom. He led the villagers deeper into the forest, explaining as they went: "We can set traps in places like these, and wild animals will fall into them if they pass by."

He taught the villagers how to set traps to catch wild animals and how to identify edible plants. The villagers gathered around him, their eyes full of admiration.

The villagers were full of praise for his talents and he quickly won their trust and respect.

Xue Tianhan helped the villagers clear the fields, picked up a hoe and worked hard to weed and turn the soil; repaired the houses, climbed onto the roof to replace broken tiles; and taught some basic animal prevention skills, guiding the children on how to avoid attacks by wild beasts.

The villagers expressed their gratitude to him in words, and they began to spontaneously help Xue Tianhan find Xiaoqi and the others.

Just as Xue Tianhan was about to leave the village and move on, an elderly villager came up to him and said, "Young man, there is an ancient tribe in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River. The people there may know the person you are looking for."

After hearing this, Xue Tianhan felt a new hope in his heart. He said firmly, "Thank you for letting me know. I will go to that tribe right away."

After that, he decided to go to that tribe and continue his search.

After a long journey, Xue Tianhan finally arrived at the ancient tribe. However, the scene before him disappointed him greatly. The former glory was gone, only broken walls and forgotten legends remained.

Xue Tianhan slowly wandered among the ruins of the tribe, his heart filled with emotion, and he whispered to himself: "What happened here in the past? Why did it fall to this point?"

He tried to find clues from these ruins, leaving no corner unturned.

He discovered some ancient stone tablets with vague words and patterns engraved on them, which seemed to be telling an ancient history.

Xue Tianhan squatted down and carefully examined the words on the stone tablet. His brows furrowed as he muttered to himself, "What do these words mean?"

Although he was unable to fully decipher the text, Xue Tianhan still learned from it that Xiao Qi might have some connection with this tribe.

In the center of the tribe, Xue Tianhan discovered a relatively well-preserved temple. Although the entrance to the temple was covered by vines and weeds, its magnificent structure was still faintly visible.

Xue Tianhan carefully cleared the obstacles and stepped into the temple. It was dark and mysterious inside, with only a few rays of light filtering through the cracks, barely illuminating the way forward.

Deep within the temple, Xue Tianhan discovered a stone altar filled with strange objects. Upon closer inspection, he discovered an ancient amulet engraved with Xiao Qi's name. This discovery made Xue Tianhan's heart beat faster. He excitedly picked up the amulet, his eyes gleaming with hope.

"Xiao Qi, I will definitely find you!" He swore secretly in his heart, carefully put away the amulet, and decided to continue his journey with this clue.

After leaving the temple, Xue Tianhan continued his journey along the upper reaches of the Min River, his heart filled with longing for Xiao Qi and anticipation for the unknown. He didn't know what awaited him ahead, or why there were ancient artifacts related to Xiao Qi here, but he firmly believed that as long as he didn't give up, he would one day find Xiao Qi and uncover all the mysteries.

At this moment, a cry for help broke the silence. Xue Tianhan immediately became alert, stopped and listened attentively.

"Help!" The voice came again, and Xue Tianhan quickly ran in the direction of the voice. He passed through a dense bush and saw a heart-wrenching scene before his eyes.

A young woman is being besieged by a group of ferocious beasts. She looks exhausted and almost can't hold on.

Xue Tianhan rushed forward without any hesitation.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!" He shouted, using his strong physique and agility to fight the beast. A beast pounced on him, and Xue Tianhan dodged to the side, then swiftly swung a punch, hitting the beast on the head, shouting, "See how you dare to be so arrogant!"

The beast roared in pain and took a few steps back.

After a fierce battle, he successfully drove away the beast and rescued the woman.

The woman looked at him gratefully, her eyes filled with tears and respect.

"Thank you for saving me." The woman said in a trembling voice.

Xue Tianhan smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you're okay."

During the conversation, Xue Tianhan learned that the woman's name was A Lian and she was a member of a nearby tribe.

A Lian tells Xue Tianhan that her tribe is facing an unprecedented crisis and needs help from outsiders. Xue Tianhan realizes that this may be related to his search for Xiao Qi, so he decides to follow A Lian to her tribe.

On the way to the tribe, A Lian told Xue Tianhan about the history and current situation of the tribe.

"Our tribe was once very prosperous, but now we face great difficulties," A-Lian sighed. She mentioned an ancient legend in the tribe about a guardian with special powers, whose name was strikingly similar to Xiao Qi's.

After hearing this, Xue Tianhan had a strong premonition in his heart, and he believed that he was not far from finding Xiaoqi.

After a difficult journey, they finally arrived at Alian's tribe. Xue Tianhan was shocked by the scene in the tribe. The people there lived in poverty, facing the threat of food shortages and disease. Xue Tianhan decided to stay and help them while searching for more clues about Xiaoqi.

He used his knowledge and skills to help the tribe improve their living conditions. He led the tribe into the forest, searching for fruits while saying, "This fruit is edible, everyone pick more."

He searched for food and herbs. He also taught them how to make simple tools and weapons to defend against wild beasts, and taught them how to polish stone tools. The tribesmen's love for him grew stronger and stronger, and they regarded Xue Tianhan as their hero.

In the process of helping the tribe, Xue Tianhan gradually uncovered the mysterious connection between Xiao Qi and the tribe. It turned out that Xiao Qi was once the guardian of the tribe. In order to protect the tribe, she used her own power and disappeared without a trace.

However, there is one strange thing, that is, the time does not match. According to various signs, Xiaoqi came here at least several decades ago, or even a hundred years ago.

"Why is this happening? Could it be that the teleportation times for each person in those teleportation arrays are different?" Xue Tianhan was filled with doubts. He knew that if he found Xiao Qi and solved all the mysteries, the truth would eventually come to light. And he would continue to walk steadfastly on this unknown path, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead.
