After resting for a while, they suddenly heard the howling of wild beasts in the distance. Qin Yan looked in the direction of the sound and realized it was coming from the city where the monsters had appeared before.

"We shouldn't stay here too long, or the monsters might come after us when they recover from their injuries," Qin Yan said with a worried expression.

"We should hurry and move away from that city as far as possible," Lin Shiqi quickly agreed, feeling scared at the thought of the giant leopard-man.

So Qin Yan supported the injured Dream Butterfly, Lin Shiqi picked up two long spear weapons, and they all walked in the direction away from the city. Yue Ji supported Yi Tianchou and followed behind them, walking for three or four hours.

"I'm so tired, we've come so far, we should be safe now," Lin Shiqi panted heavily. After the life-and-death battle with the leopard-man and the long journey, she was exhausted and couldn't walk any further.

Qin Yan looked around and, seeing no signs of any strange beasts nearby, he found a large rock and brought Dream Butterfly to sit beside it, saying, "Okay, let's rest here tonight."

"What should we do?" Yue Ji asked tentatively, looking at Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi.

"What do you mean, what should we do? Do you want to sleep with us?" Lin Shiqi put down her weapons by the rock and waved her hand at Yue Ji, "You two go rest somewhere else, further away where we can't see you. Don't come near us unless necessary, understand?" Although Yue Ji had helped them before, they were still former enemies, and Lin Shiqi was a bit wary of them.

"But there are no hidden places on this prairie. If we are attacked by monsters, I might not be able to handle it on my own," Yue Ji hesitated.

"Take this with you," Qin Yan threw the red spear he had obtained from the leopard-man to Yue Ji. "With this, you should be able to deal with ordinary monsters easily. If you encounter a powerful monster you can't handle, just shout loudly, and we will come to help you. Just... don't come near us without our permission, or we will think you have malicious intent, and we won't show mercy."

"Okay, okay..." Yue Ji thought there was no other choice. She took the red spear and helped Yi Tianchou walk away. Soon, their figures disappeared from Qin Yan's view.

Later, Qin Yan and the others sat on the ground leaning against the large rock, camping out in the wilderness. Fortunately, there were not as many strange beasts on the prairie as in the forest, and they spent the night peacefully without any attacks.

The next day, just as dawn broke, a voice came from a distance, "Brother Qin Yan, Sister Shiqi, are you awake? Can I come over?"

Lin Shiqi rubbed her sleepy eyes and woke up from her slumber, complaining incoherently, "This woman is so annoying, she's already starting to make noise early in the morning, can't even sleep a little longer."

Soon, Qin Yan and Dream Butterfly also woke up, and Qin Yan shouted, "Come over!" Shortly after, Yue Ji appeared in front of them, supporting Yi Tianchou.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yan glanced at Yue Ji and Yi Tianchou, noticing that Yue Ji looked a bit nervous and Yi Tianchou seemed to be in pain, groaning continuously. He asked them what was going on.

"It's, it's like this," Yue Ji said nervously, "Just a while ago, Tian Ge said he was feeling very unwell and had a terrible headache. I'm worried his condition has worsened, so I wanted Dream Butterfly to help me take a look."

"Always bothering us with everything, treating us like a charity organization, huh?" Lin Shiqi said irritably.

"I'll take a look." Dream Butterfly didn't say much, she stood up and walked over, placing her hand on Yi Tianchou's forehead.

"Well, it's not a big deal. His condition is better than yesterday, maybe the herbs from yesterday had some adverse effects on his body, combined with his original illness, making him feel uncomfortable. But it's okay, as long as he rests and perseveres, his condition will gradually improve."

"Okay, that's good..." Hearing Dream Butterfly's words, Yuji immediately felt relieved.

Dream Butterfly took out some herbs and handed them to Yuji: "These are today's medicine, feed him."

"Thank... thank you." Yuji's face showed gratitude, she took the herbs and fed them to Yi Tianchou.

Since Lin Shiqi had already woken up, she didn't plan on sleeping either. She looked at the just bright field and hesitated: "What should we do next? We have lost the clues to other humans, where should we go next?"

Upon hearing this, Dream Butterfly smiled: "Shiqi, don't worry. I got some information from that leopard monster last night."

"Oh, really?" Lin Shiqi immediately turned from worry to joy, "So, Butterfly Sister, do you know where the three-eyed human is?"

"Well, although the exact location is unclear, the general direction has been determined."

"Okay, let's set off immediately." Lin Shiqi's face immediately regained its radiance.

Qin Yan walked to Dream Butterfly's side: "Dream Butterfly, how's your injury? Can you walk by yourself?"

"I can manage short distances, but long distances are a bit difficult," Dream Butterfly said softly.

"Then let me carry you?"

"Okay, thank you." Dream Butterfly smiled shyly.

Soon, Qin Yan carried Dream Butterfly and Lin Shiqi set off again. Yuji supported Yi Tianchou behind them. During the journey, Yi Tianchou kept groaning in pain, occasionally shouting. It seemed like he was very uncomfortable, constantly enduring immense pain.

"Hey, can you stop yelling and shouting? You've been yelling non-stop all the way, it's really annoying." After a few hours, Lin Shiqi couldn't take it anymore and stopped, shouting at Yi Tianchou.

Probably because he was in so much pain, Yi Tianchou didn't respond to Lin Shiqi's words. Yuji hurriedly said, "Tian Ge doesn't want to be like this, he must be really suffering to act like this."

"I don't care, either you shut his mouth, or we'll leave you behind." Lin Shiqi was relentless.

Yuji looked embarrassed, "How about this, Dream Butterfly, could you help me get some sleeping herbs for Tian Ge to eat? After he falls asleep, he shouldn't make any noise."

Dream Butterfly thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any sleeping herbs, but just making him sleep shouldn't require herbs."

"Then please, Dream Butterfly." Yuji's face showed a joyful expression, very friendly.

"Ew, she's being way too friendly." Lin Shiqi looked like she wanted to vomit, she shook her head and sighed, "I hope these two understand gratitude and repent, stop doing bad things in the future, otherwise our good intentions will be in vain."
