The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 182 The Journey Continues

After successfully repelling the beast, Nangong Yi, Zhao Wan'er and their escort team continued to move forward on the difficult road. Everyone's face still had the tension and fatigue after the battle, and the tiny scratches seemed to tell of the fierce battle. But their eyes flashed with a firm light, like the brightest stars in the night sky, illuminating the way forward.

Nangong Yi held Zhao Wan'er's hand tightly, as if it was the source of his strength. He tilted his head slightly, looked at the beauty beside him, and said softly: "Wan'er, it was really dangerous just now, but with you by my side, I am not afraid of anything. You are my lucky star, with you around, I feel I can overcome everything."

Zhao Wan'er looked at Nangong Yi tenderly, her eyes full of trust, her lips slightly raised, and responded: "Husband, you are my hero. We will definitely find the treasure and make the Nangong family more prosperous. By then, you will be even more majestic."

They were winding up a narrow mountain road. The stones under their feet were a little loose, and they could slip if they were not careful. The mountain road was like a naughty little snake, winding and unpredictable. Nangong Yi walked carefully, muttering, "This road is really difficult to walk on, it's like playing hide-and-seek with us."

Zhao Wan'er smiled and said, "Husband, be careful. Don't fall. That would be embarrassing." But they did not retreat at all. They walked forward firmly step by step.

After walking for a while, they came to a valley. The valley was filled with a thin layer of mist, which looked mysterious and quiet. The mist was like a veil, gently covering the valley, like a beautiful dream. However, they were not confused by this beautiful scene, because they knew that in this seemingly peaceful place, there might be more dangers hidden.

Sure enough, when they walked into the depths of the valley, they suddenly heard a low roar. The sound was like thunder, echoing in the valley, making people shudder. Everyone immediately stopped and looked around vigilantly. From one side of the valley, a huge beast slowly walked out. The beast was huge, like a hill, and its fur was as hard as steel, shining with metallic luster in the weak light. Its eyes flashed with fierce light, like two burning flames.

The guards raised their weapons, ready for a new battle. Nangong Yi held his sword tightly, his eyes full of determination. He shouted, "Everyone be careful, this beast is not easy to deal with. Be alert, don't be scared by it."

Zhao Wan'er also held the dagger tightly. Although she was a little nervous, she was more confident in Nangong Yi and determined in their mission. She whispered, "Husband, we will definitely defeat it."

The beast roared and rushed towards them, as fast as a gust of wind. Its huge body raised a cloud of dust, making it almost impossible to see its figure. Nangong Yi went up to it without hesitation, and his long sword drew a shining arc in the air, slashing at the beast fiercely. He shouted, "Look at my power!" The beast dodged flexibly and pounced on Nangong Yi with its huge claws. The claws were like a huge iron clamp, which made people tremble with fear.

Nangong Yi swiftly dodged the beast's attack by moving sideways. He took the opportunity to swing his sword again and stabbed the beast's vitals. However, the beast's fur was too hard for the sword to penetrate. Nangong Yi frowned and said, "This guy is really hard to deal with. His fur is as hard as iron."

Zhao Wan'er saw Nangong Yi in trouble, and rushed forward and stabbed the beast's eyes with a dagger. She shouted, "Watch me!" The beast felt the pain and roared angrily. It turned and pounced on Zhao Wan'er. Seeing this, Nangong Yi immediately rushed over and blocked Zhao Wan'er. He shouted, "Don't even think about hurting my Wan'er!"

At this critical moment, the guards also launched attacks, attacking the beast from all directions. Some guards stabbed the beast's abdomen with spears, and some guards shot the beast's eyes with bows and arrows. The beast was enraged by the attacks of everyone, and it fought back frantically, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

Nangong Yi dodged the beast's attack while looking for its weakness. He suddenly found that there was a soft spot on the beast's neck, where the fur was thinner. He shouted, "Everyone, attack its neck!" When everyone heard Nangong Yi's shout, they adjusted their attack direction.

After a fierce battle, they finally found the beast's weakness and successfully defeated it. The beast fell to the ground and let out a last unwilling roar. Nangong Yi, Zhao Wan'er and the guards were all exhausted and panting, but they had a triumphant smile on their faces.

Nangong Yi said, "Haha, we won again. This beast is really hard to deal with. We almost fell into its hands." Zhao Wan'er smiled and said, "Husband, you are awesome. Let's keep moving forward. The treasure is waiting for us ahead." Everyone packed up their equipment and continued on their journey, their hearts full of confidence and courage.
