I am a winner with Chinese poetry

"Yes, sir! My two brothers have been patrolling around the exit. At the beginning, everything was calm and nothing happened. But suddenly a strange wind appeared. The wind came from the direction of Yellowstone Gorge. We didn't pay attention at first and thought it was just an ordinary night wind. But the wind was very fast. It blew directly out of the Yellowstone Gorge, bypassed my brothers and went away into the distance. I always felt that this wind was a bit strange, but I didn't know what was wrong. To be cautious, my two brothers checked the surroundings carefully several times, but still found nothing!" The bird demon's face was full of confusion, and its sharp beak opened and closed.

"You lead the way in the direction the wind stone disappeared. Half of you will stay here to monitor the exit, and the other half will follow me in pursuit. There must be no mistakes!"

Snake Killer's expression suddenly changed, his words revealing an undeniable determination. Upon hearing this, the demons immediately responded, quickly splitting into two teams, their movements coordinated with each other. Meanwhile, the barbarians looked at each other in confusion, hesitant, as if at a loss as to what to do with this sudden turn of events.

Seeing this, She Shi frowned, and his tone became more impatient: "Mantu, the situation is very serious now. If we let the human boy escape, once the news leaks out, you and I will be implicated. It is up to you to decide what to do next!" After that, he said no more, turned around and was about to lead the crowd in pursuit.

The remaining barbarians all focused their attention on the Savage Land. One of them, unable to contain his curiosity, bravely asked their leader, "Chief, what should we do next? Should we follow them?"

The leader known as Manshi also frowned, his face visibly troubled. For the barbarians, fighting was no problem, but something so obviously demanding of their wits was undoubtedly their most formidable challenge. He scratched his tangled hair in frustration, then gritted his teeth and roared, "Damn it! Follow me! If you dare to lie to me, I'll crush you to pieces!" With that, he waved his hand and gave a decisive order, "Leave half your men here to guard, and the rest, follow me!"

At this moment, Gu Yunzhou and Jiang Liunian, accompanied by the gentle night breeze, had quietly passed through the numerous obstacles of Huangshi Gorge and successfully escaped. Not far away, an empty space quietly came into view, and the two figures suddenly appeared, as if stepping out of thin air.

"We...really made it out?" Jiang Liunian's words were tinged with disbelief. He slowly turned around. In the hazy night, the outline of Yellowstone Gorge loomed, like a faint ink painting. Looking around, a sense of relief and joy after having gone through so much hardship slowly spread from the depths of his heart, warm and real.

"Haha, this went quite smoothly. It's a pity that the literary energy in my body is almost exhausted. I can only let the Peng bird send us here." Gu Yunzhou chuckled, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, "There is no time to lose, we'd better leave as soon as possible." Gu Yunzhou's face was a little pale. This literary skill was indeed very useful, but it consumed a lot of literary energy. In just a short while, eight-tenths of the literary energy in his body that was originally abundant was gone, leaving only a trickle, which was difficult to sustain.

"You're absolutely right. This inexplicable uneasiness in my heart is getting stronger and stronger. We'd better leave quickly." Jiang Liunian's voice was filled with a bit of urgency. "Yunzhou, can you still hold on?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the literary energy consumed at one time is too much, let's leave quickly!" Gu Yunzhou shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Seeing this, Jiang Liunian felt a sense of relief, and he quickly gathered his scattered thoughts. Amidst the surge of literary energy, a faint stream of it gathered at the soles of their feet. Their eyes met, and without further words, they galloped in unison towards the Seventh Crossroads. Without the steed transformed by Zhuang Xian's literary energy, they could only rely on their own legs. Fortunately, with the blessing of literary energy, they were not only as light as a swallow, but also ran at a rapid speed without straining their physical strength.

Not long after they disappeared, Snake Shi and his group arrived at this area, led by the bird demon.

"Sir, the place where that strange wind finally dissipated must be this area!" The bird demon who answered earlier looked around, with some certainty in his tone.

"You all should disperse quickly, search every inch of land carefully, and pay attention to any suspicious smells and sounds. These humans are extremely cunning and are very good at hiding their whereabouts!" She Shi waved his hand, and all the members of the demon tribe immediately scattered like arrows. Only She Shi was left, his face as gloomy as water, standing alone in the same place, his thoughts seemed to drift away.

"Snake Shi, we're here. Where are those humans?" With the sound of hurried, heavy footsteps, Man Tu and his group suddenly appeared in the open. They searched their surroundings anxiously, but couldn't find the expected humans. Man Tu's face darkened instantly. He glared at She Shi and questioned with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Don't you have eyes? Look for them yourself! Do you think humans will just jump out and stretch their necks for you to kill?" Sheshi snorted impatiently, his words filled with contempt for these barbarians. In his eyes, these barbarians were just a bunch of fools with brute force but no wisdom. If he didn't need them as a vanguard to ward off danger, he would never associate with them.

"You cunning demon, you just claimed with certainty that humans are hiding here!" Mantu was furious, and slammed the huge hammer on his shoulder to the ground. The ground shook slightly, and his whole body was full of momentum, as if he was ready to start a fight.

"Sir, we've made an important discovery!" A demon soldier's voice suddenly rang out from a distance, breaking the tense atmosphere. Before he could finish his words, Sheshi, who had been standing still, flashed and appeared beside the demon who had brought the news in the blink of an eye. His speed was astonishing.

"Tell me quickly!" She Shi's face was gloomy, his words were brief and powerful, his eyes were like torches, fixed tightly on the demon who discovered the abnormality, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere of impending storm.

It was a cat demon, and under Snake Killer's gaze, it involuntarily shrank back half a step. Its ears, those furry cat ears, stood erect with nervousness, as if capturing every vibration in the air. Sharp claws silently emerged from its soft pads, instinctively forming a defensive barrier across its chest.

The cat demon swallowed hard, the urge to flee surging within him like a tidal wave, yet he suppressed it with a last shred of sanity. "Reporting to the honorable Lord Snake Slayer," his voice trembled slightly, yet he remained composed. "This little demon has unexpectedly detected the presence of humans here. Judging by the unique scent, they are undoubtedly two humans. Their tracks haven't gone far, and they appear to have left not long ago."
