The three of them stood at the foot of the mountain, gazing at the giant willow tree hundreds of meters tall, their hearts filled with shock.
Especially when compared to the surrounding small hills, the willow tree's grandeur was even more apparent.
A willow tree as tall as a mountain was clearly no ordinary sight.
Lin Fan’s eyes widened in amazement, a poetic fervor seizing him. "This tree is truly magnificent. I must compose a poem."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu immediately reached out and tapped him on the head, laughing as he scolded, "If you want to write poetry, go do it in your live stream room."
Lin Fan slumped in dejection. "Fine, then. What a shame for my immense poetic talent."
Lin Yu's mouth twitched. Was that really poetic talent?
It wasn't!
It was clearly plagiarism.
If you could actually compose a poem yourself, I'd be impressed by my own talent.
I can't even write a poem, so what can you do! Lin Fan grumbled inwardly.
Bai Xiaosa opened his eyes, starlight flickering within them. He had clearly activated his 'Gaze of the Heavens' talent.
After observing for a while, his eyes returned to normal.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
Seeing this, Lin Yu quickly asked, "What did you see?"
Lin Yu knew that his talent gave him exceptional observational abilities, allowing him to see tens of thousands of meters away. To Lin Yu, Bai Xiaosa was the best assistant, his eyes.
"Five hundred meters ahead, someone is in distress," Bai Xiaosa said immediately.
His current talent allowed him to see the situation within a radius of ten thousand meters.
Although the farther the distance, the less clear the vision, it far surpassed ordinary human eyesight.
Just now, while observing the surroundings, he had spotted a young boy being cornered by three wolf beasts not far away. If the boy wasn't rescued, he would soon meet his end.
Lin Yu, hearing this, knew that saving someone was as urgent as putting out a fire. So, he immediately commanded his clone to go and rescue the person.
The clone nodded and ran forward.
"Given the clone's speed, five hundred meters will only take a few seconds. Let's follow and see," Lin Yu suggested.
Bai Xiaosa breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. "Alright."
The three of them walked forward.
The path was overgrown with dense vegetation, resembling a primeval forest.
As they walked, they suddenly heard beast roars from ahead.
Lin Yu and the other two quickened their pace.
Sure enough, a short while later, they saw three wolf beasts lying at the clone's feet.
At this moment, the clone stood expressionlessly, awaiting Lin Yu's arrival.
The injured young boy was looking at the clone with gratitude.
Hearing the sounds of people approaching, he instinctively held his dagger horizontally across his chest. But upon clearly seeing who had arrived, his face filled with confusion.
The young boy was not old, his face was delicate, and his body was small, yet his skin bore the marks of wind and frost.
Lin Fan, seeing such a young child out hunting, felt his heart soften. He stepped forward, pulled the boy up, and said, "Young man, put down your dagger. We are good people."
Upon seeing Lin Fan's appearance, the boy subconsciously lowered his dagger.
At this moment, his face was filled with confusion, his mind a whirl of questions that made it hard for him to think straight.
The people who saved him were three identical individuals, and now two more identical individuals had appeared.
What kind of mother could give birth to five children in a single pregnancy?
Amazing!
He was deeply impressed.
Lin Fan smiled. "You're not old, what are you doing out in the wilderness alone?"
Lin Fan was puzzled. This boy was not tall and should be young, yet he was out in the wilderness and encountered a pack of wolves. If they hadn't passed by, he would have already perished.
The boy said, "I'm not young. I'm already engaged and will be married next year."
Married?
These two words stunned all three of them.
No way?
You're going to start a family so early?
The customs here are indeed different.
Lin Fan exclaimed, "No way, you don't look that old, getting married so soon?"
The boy blinked slightly at this remark, unsure what it meant.
But after a moment, he finally understood.
"Are you looking down on me? Do you want to compete?" he challenged Lin Fan, looking as if he was ready to spar if words failed.
Hearing this, the three of them burst into laughter.
Hahaha!
Are the people in this place so fierce?
At this moment, Bai Xiaosa stepped in to smooth things over. "Young man, don't listen to him. He's just teasing you. But tell me, what's your name?"
The boy said gratefully, "You are my saviors. My attitude just now was not good, I apologize!"
"Saviors, hello. My name is Liu Yangyun, the youngest son of our Liu Village chief. I am engaged and will be married next year. Do not say I am young anymore."
"Also, I like to eat meat, but I don't like drinking beast milk. My father says it's because I drank less milk that I haven't grown tall. He also says that my peers are half a head taller than me for the same reason. But I don't think so. My father is short, so I must be short because my father is short."
He babbled on incessantly, as if he wanted to introduce his entire lineage in one breath.
After one sentence, another would follow, starting from his own personality, moving to his father's personality, and even detailing his family situation.
Finally, he didn't forget to elevate the theme and started talking about his dreams.
"My biggest dream is to leave Liu Village, see the outside world, and learn some skills to protect Liu Village in the future," he said, his eyes resolute.
Lin Yu smiled and looked at Lin Fan, thinking, You've met your match, kid. This child talks even more than you.
Lin Fan ignored him directly, waving his hands repeatedly. "You talk too much! Kid, hurry home."
Liu Yangyun was momentarily stunned, then shook his head. "My father taught me that if someone has been kind to you, you must invite them to your home as a guest and remember their kindness, repaying it as much as possible. You saved me, and I cannot fail to invite you to my home. I am a grateful person, so I need to invite you to my home."
"Three saviors, the sky is getting late. Strange creatures roam outside at night, and it's particularly dangerous. Would you like to come to our village as guests?"
After saying this, he looked at the three of them expectantly.
Lin Yu pondered for a moment and nodded.
Seeing Lin Yu nod, Lin Fan said, "Kid, lead the way."
Liu Yangyun exclaimed excitedly, "That's great!"
Along the way, Lin Fan asked, "Why is a child like you out here?"
Lin Fan scanned their surroundings. They were still several li away from the Great Willow Tree, and the area was filled with primeval forest, appearing completely uninhabited.
"I'm actually quite capable. I can usually handle some wild beasts, but I didn't expect to encounter wolves. They don't usually appear here."
The thought of his luck sent a cold sweat down his spine.
If these three saviors hadn't rescued him, he would have already been devoured by the wolves.
Lin Yu, however, secretly thought that this boy probably wasn't out hunting wild beasts. He was likely in his rebellious phase, thinking he was amazing, and decided to go out and prove himself, only to end up in trouble.
After walking for about ten minutes, Liu Village came into view.
