Fleeing from famine? Not a chance; the divine healer's wife made her fortune.

Caves offer refuge from danger, while roads reveal new possibilities.

Su Yunlan looked at the earth and rocks that were almost as high as the mountains in front of her, and her heart sank.

The sudden landslide completely blocked their way out, and a large amount of soil and rocks buried the originally flat mountain road, like an insurmountable barrier.

Being trapped in these deep mountains means they will face various dangers such as food shortages and attacks by wild animals.

"How could this happen..." Miss Lin's voice trembled as she tightly gripped Su Yunlan's sleeve.

A tense atmosphere spread through the crowd, and even the villagers who had initially come to see them off became flustered and started talking amongst themselves.

Xiao Yuhan frowned, his deep gaze sweeping over the surrounding terrain.

He knew he had to find another way out as soon as possible, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

He gripped his longsword tightly and said in a deep voice, "Xiong Da, Hunter Mo, you are familiar with these mountains. Do you know any other way out?"

Xiong Da and Mo the Hunter also frowned, looking around with serious expressions.

“This…this road is the shortest; the other roads are all rugged and difficult to travel, and…” Xiong Da hesitated for a moment and did not continue, but his expression said it all.

"And what else?" Su Yunlan pressed.

Xiong Da sighed and said in a deep voice, "The other routes are all close to the territory of wild beasts, which is very dangerous."

Mo the hunter nodded and added, "I saw traces of wild boars over there a few days ago."

Su Yunlan's heart sank; it seemed the situation was worse than she had imagined.

Xiong Da and Mo the hunter led the way, carefully parting the dense bushes to search for any possible paths.

Su Yunlan and Xiao Yuhan followed closely behind, while the others cautiously observed the surrounding movements.

After walking for about half an hour, they came to a valley.

The valley is densely wooded, blocking out the sun, and the air is filled with a damp smell.

"Wait!" Mo the hunter suddenly stopped. He sniffed the air warily and whispered, "There's the smell of wild animals."

No sooner had they finished speaking than a tremendous tremor shook the earth, and a huge wild boar charged out of the woods, roaring angrily at them.

Its mane stood on end, and its sharp fangs gleamed coldly, making it look extremely ferocious.

Su Yunlan and the others were startled and drew their weapons, preparing to deal with the sudden danger.

A tense atmosphere instantly filled the air, as if the air itself had frozen.

Xiao Yuhan did not charge directly at the wild boar, but calmly and collectedly commanded everyone: "Scatter! Scatter!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately dispersed and stopped gathering together.

The wild boar, which had originally had a clear goal, became confused as the group scattered.

Its massive body turned clumsily, unsure of which target to attack, exhaling heavy white breath from its nostrils as it frantically pawed at the ground.

Taking advantage of the wild boar's distraction, Su Yunlan quickly took out a herb with a special scent from her spatial storage.

This herb, called "Beast-Repelling Incense," was something she had discovered by chance in the space, and it had a remarkable effect in driving away wild animals.

She crushed the animal-repelling incense and sprinkled it on the wild boar.

Upon smelling the pungent odor, the wild boar let out a terrified scream, its massive body trembling violently.

It ignored everyone, turned around, and fled into the depths of the dense forest in a panic.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the wild boar flee in panic.

The tense atmosphere instantly eased, and the joy of surviving the ordeal spread across everyone's faces.

"That was close! Thank goodness for Fourth Young Mistress!" Xiong Da wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.

"Yes, if it weren't for Fourth Young Mistress, we would probably..." Miss Lin's voice trembled slightly as she looked at Su Yunlan gratefully.

Su Yunlan smiled slightly and said modestly, "It was just a coincidence."

The group continued onward, but this time they were much more careful and cautious, constantly alert to any movement around them.

After walking for a long time, the sky gradually darkened.

"It seems we're not going to get out of here today." Xiao Yuhan looked around and said in a deep voice, "We need to find a place to spend the night."

Xiong Da pointed to a cave not far away: "There's a cave over there where you can take shelter from the wind and rain for a while."

The group arrived at the cave. The cave was not large, but it could barely accommodate all of them.

Xiong Da and Mo the hunter lit a bonfire at the cave entrance, dispelling the chill and darkness inside the cave.

Su Yunlan walked deeper into the cave and carefully observed the cave walls.

In the firelight, she noticed some strange marks on the cave walls, like some kind of symbol.

"What is this?" Su Yunlan asked softly, pointing to the symbols on the cave wall.

Xiao Yuhan walked to Su Yunlan's side and held her hand tightly...

Xiao Yuhan walked to Su Yunlan's side, held her hand tightly, and the thick, warm touch conveyed a silent comfort.

Su Yunlan felt the strength in his palm, looked up at him, her eyes full of trust.

The firelight illuminated his sharply defined face, adding to his resolute appearance.

Their love needed no words at this moment; a warm atmosphere spread around them, dispelling some of the chill in the cave.

“These symbols… seem familiar.” Su Yunlan stroked the rough stone wall, feeling a cool sensation on her fingertips.

She tried hard to recall, but could never quite grasp that elusive spark of inspiration.

"Don't worry, we'll find a way out." Xiao Yuhan's deep voice rang in her ear, carrying a reassuring strength.

However, it gradually got dark.

Night falls exceptionally quickly in the mountains; as if in an instant, light is swallowed by darkness.

The trees outside the cave transformed into grotesque, menacing shadows in the darkness, and the wind howled through the treetops like ghosts wailing.

The night in the mountains was fraught with danger. They had not yet found their way out, and anxiety and a sense of unease once again enveloped them.

Xiong Da added some firewood, and the flames leaped and crackled, but they couldn't dispel the fear in everyone's hearts.

"It's not safe in these mountains at night." Xiong Da lowered his voice, his eyes glancing frequently towards the outside of the cave, as if something terrifying was lurking in the darkness.

"Shh..." Mo Hunter suddenly raised a finger, signaling everyone to be quiet.

He listened intently, as if he had caught some unusual sound.

A deep roar came from afar, growing clearer and clearer as it approached.

The voice was deep and powerful, carrying a chilling and intimidating quality that sent shivers down one's spine.

"It's a wild beast!" Miss Lin cried out in terror, clinging tightly to Su Yunlan's arm, her body trembling.

Su Yunlan's heart was in her throat; she felt Xiao Yuhan's grip tighten even more.

The air around them seemed to freeze; everyone held their breath, waiting anxiously.

A deafening roar suddenly rang out, and the light at the cave entrance was blocked by a huge figure.

"Oh no! It's a black bear!" Xiong Da exclaimed, suddenly standing up. The torch in his hand fell to the ground, scattering a string of sparks.

Mo the hunter drew his hunting knife from his waist, his eyes fixed coldly on the cave entrance, ready to fight at any moment.

Xiao Yuhan shielded Su Yunlan behind him, drew his long sword, its cold light flashing as it drew a sharp arc in the darkness.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He whispered in Su Yunlan's ear, his voice firm and strong.

"It...it's in!" Miss Lin's trembling voice broke the tense silence.

The black bear's massive body squeezed into the cave, and a stench wafted over.

Its blood-red eyes gleamed menacingly in the darkness, and it emitted a low growl that sent chills down one's spine.

Xiong Da brandished his wooden stick, trying to stop the black bear from advancing, but was swatted away by the black bear's paw and crashed heavily against the cave wall, letting out a painful groan.

At the critical moment, Xiao Yuhan stepped forward.

The longsword in his hand was like a silver dragon, aimed straight at the black bear's eyes.

The black bear, in pain, let out an angry roar and swung its huge paws at Xiao Yuhan.

Xiao Yuhan nimbly dodged, while his longsword continuously attacked the black bear's vital points.

The cave was cramped, which made it difficult for Xiao Yuhan to display his martial arts skills.

Black bears have thick hides and tough flesh, so although Xiao Yuhan's attack caused some damage, it was not fatal.

A man and a bear engage in a fierce battle inside a cramped cave, creating a thrilling scene.

Su Yunlan stood anxiously to the side, her heart filled with worry.

She knew that if things continued like this, Xiao Yuhan would eventually run out of energy.

She had to find a way to help him.

Just then, Su Yunlan's gaze fell into the depths of the cave.

There appeared to be some signs of artificial excavation there, quite different from naturally formed caves.

Is it...

"Xiao Yuhan, come inside!" Su Yunlan shouted.

Xiao Yuhan understood immediately and retreated while fighting, leading the black bear deeper into the cave.

As they ventured deeper, the cave became increasingly spacious.

At the end of the cave, they discovered a hidden cavern.

The entrance to the cave is hidden by a huge rock, and it is difficult to find without careful observation.

Xiao Yuhan kicked the rock aside and pulled Su Yunlan into the cave.

The black bear followed closely behind and rushed in as well.

However, the moment the black bear entered the cave, the entrance suddenly collapsed, and a large amount of soil and rocks sealed the entrance, trapping the black bear inside.

Before everyone could recover from their shock, they discovered that the cave was a hidden paradise.

The cave walls were covered with strange symbols, which appeared to be a map.

Su Yunlan frowned as she looked at the blurry map…
