The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 180: Fierce Battle in the Forest

As the days passed, Nangong Yi and Zhao Wan'er lived a peaceful and happy life. Together, they managed the Nangong family with great care, and the family business prospered, gaining a higher reputation in the imperial city.

One day, Nangong Yi received a mysterious letter. The letter mentioned that a strange treasure appeared in a distant borderland, which was said to have magical powers and could bring endless blessings to the family. Nangong Yi's heart moved, and he thought that if he could get this treasure, it might allow the Nangong family to move to a higher level.

Nangong Yi took the letter to Zhao Wan'er and discussed the matter with her. "Wan'er, look at this letter. Do you think we should go explore the treasures in the border area?"

Zhao Wan'er frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "My husband, we can't act rashly. The border is far away and full of unknown dangers, but if this treasure is really as magical as the letter says, it is indeed of great significance to our Nangong family."

Nangong Yi nodded, "I was thinking the same thing, but I don't want to miss this opportunity. Wan'er, are you willing to go with me?"

Zhao Wan'er looked at Nangong Yi's determined eyes and said with a smile: "Wherever my husband goes, I will go there. We will face it together."

So, Nangong Yi and Zhao Wan'er, accompanied by a team of elite guards, set out on a journey to the border.

When passing through the endless forest, the sun could only shine through the layers of branches and leaves with difficulty. The air was filled with dampness and the smell of soil, and the quiet atmosphere was instantly broken by the sudden danger.

A group of ferocious beasts surged out from the depths of the forest like a black tide. These beasts were huge, with taut muscles, hair standing up like steel needles, and eyes flashing with hunger and ferocity. They opened their bloody mouths, revealing sharp fangs, and their roars echoed in the forest like thunder, making people tremble with fear.

The guards reacted immediately, quickly raised their weapons, and stood ready. Their eyes were full of determination and courage. Although they were a little scared in the face of so many beasts, they knew their mission and would never retreat.

The beasts pounced on them like a gust of wind, and the battle started instantly. The guards wielded their swords and spears vigorously, engaging in a fierce fight with the beasts. The sound of metal colliding and the roar of the beasts intertwined, creating a thrilling scene.

A huge beast suddenly pounced on a guard. The guard quickly dodged to the side and stabbed the beast's belly with the long sword in his hand, but the beast's fur was extremely tough and the long sword only left a shallow scratch on it. The beast roared angrily and pounced again. The guard hurriedly raised his shield to resist, but was knocked back by the beast's powerful force.

The other guard was dealing with the two beasts, jumping flexibly to avoid their attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack. He seized the opportunity and stabbed the beast's eye with his spear. The beast roared in pain and struggled frantically.

However, the number of beasts was too large, and the guards gradually fell into trouble. Although they fought with all their might, many people were injured and the situation was very critical.

Nangong Yi held Zhao Wan'er tightly behind him, his eyes burning with anger. The long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, as if eager to fight. A beast roared and pounced on them, and Nangong Yi met it without hesitation.

He swung his sword, and the shadow of the sword flashed through the air like lightning. The sword collided with the beast's claws, making a crisp sound. The beast was shocked by Nangong Yi's power and took a few steps back, but it quickly pounced again. Nangong Yi dodged to the side and cleverly avoided the beast's attack. At the same time, the long sword in his hand stabbed the beast's leg. The beast roared in pain and fell to the ground.

But more beasts surrounded him again, but Nangong Yi was not afraid. His swordsmanship was sharp and decisive, and every swing of the sword was powerful. While he was fighting the beasts, he was always paying attention to Zhao Wan'er's safety.

Zhao Wan'er was not idle either. She held the dagger tightly in her hand, her eyes full of determination. Although she was a little scared, she knew that she could not become a burden to Nangong Yi. She was always ready, and if a beast approached, she would attack without hesitation.

In this fierce battle, time seemed to freeze. Every second was full of danger and challenges, but Nangong Yi and the guards did not retreat at all. They used their courage and strength to fight the beasts tenaciously.

"Wan'er, don't be afraid, I'm here." Nangong Yi said loudly.

Zhao Wan'er was not afraid either. She drew her dagger from her waist and prepared to fight with Nangong Yi. "Husband, if we fight together, we will definitely get through this difficult time."
