The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Considering Zhou Zhiming's lack of riding skills, and Song Hai's complete lack of experience as a rider, no one dared to ride too fast.

The area they passed through was surrounded by vast grasslands, with small animals occasionally darting out.

This finally gave Li Kaixin and Master Chen, who had been focused on the road while driving for the past few days, the time to take a proper look.

The two of them took a deep breath at the same time, and a look of contentment appeared on their faces.

Song Hai was in a similar situation. Since he was sitting behind Cha Gan, he only needed to hold onto Cha Gan's clothes with both hands, which was quite easy.

Of the group, only Zhou Zhiming was present.

He was focused, gripping the reins tightly with both hands, afraid of falling off if he wasn't careful, and had no time to appreciate the scenery along the way.

Bayar glanced back at Zhou Zhiming and smiled as he reminded him, "Brother Zhiming, don't be so nervous, relax."

"If you do this, the horse will be uncomfortable, and you'll get tired too."

"I... I'm not nervous at all, I'm just a little unaccustomed to it yet!" Zhou Zhiming still stubbornly insisted, but his stiff movements had already betrayed him.

Hearing this from the side, Li Kaixin couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Bayar, don't mind him. This kid is just stubborn. He'll be fine after he falls down once."

"Master!" Zhou Zhiming called out, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

Seeing his apprentice getting impatient, Li Kaixin chuckled and said, "Alright, alright! I won't say anymore, you can continue."

Bayar and Chagan exchanged a glance and secretly laughed.

The group rode their horses and traveled for a while longer across the grassland.

Zhou Zhiming gradually adapted. Although he was still a little nervous, his body was not as tense as before.

He reined in his horse, looked around at the grassland, and couldn't help but exclaim, "This scenery is truly beautiful! If I could live here forever, wouldn't that be the life of an immortal!"

As she spoke, she even felt a pang of envy for those who had been sent there by them.

"Oh, you're feeling sentimental here now?"

Li Kaixin smiled and replied, then turned and winked at Chagan beside him:

"Brother Chagan, how about I let Zhiming stay here for a while, and then we'll pick him up when we come back from our next mission? What do you think?"

"That would be great!"

Chagan immediately understood, turning to Zhou Zhiming, "Brother Zhiming, if you really want to stay, I'll give you your yurt!"

Li Kaixin didn't give his apprentice a chance to speak at all, and immediately added, "I think it's fine, it's settled then!"

The two of them sang in unison, working together seamlessly.

Zhou Zhiming was dumbfounded. He had only made a casual remark.

Seeing that his master and Chagan were almost ready to set up a house for him, he quickly stopped them, saying, "Master, Brother Chagan, I was just joking, please don't take it seriously!"

"Who's joking with you!"

Li Kaixin suppressed a laugh and said seriously, "Brother Chagan has already agreed, and the yurt is all ready for you. Didn't you say you wanted a life of luxury? What a great opportunity!"

Chagan chimed in, "Brother Zhiming, stay here! We'll make sure you eat mutton every day!"

"Yes, yes, yes," Chef Chen added with a laugh, "Didn't you say the mutton was delicious? Keep it and eat it every day until you get tired of it."

"No, no, that won't do!"

Seeing that no one was helping him, Zhou Zhiming shook his head anxiously, "I'm my parents' only child, and they need me to support them! What would happen if I really lived here?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Li Kaixin was the first to react, and praised with a smile: "Not bad, Zhiming, you're so young but already so enlightened."

Seeing that his master had finally stopped teasing him, Zhou Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled, "Master, isn't it what we should do to be filial to our parents?"

Chagan and Master Chen also became serious and nodded in agreement.

"Zhiming, you're right!"

Li Kaixin rode his horse closer to him, then changed the subject: "But from what you're saying, it seems you really want to stay here?"

"Who wouldn't want to eat meat here every day!" Zhou Zhiming blurted out.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter again, and the previous serious atmosphere instantly dissipated.

Amidst the laughter, the group rode their horses up a gentle slope.

Bayar, who was leading the way, pulled on the reins and stopped.

He pointed to the grass below: "Look, that's it."

Following the direction Bayar pointed, everyone looked and saw two or three hundred gazelles grazing on the grassland in the distance.

"Holy crap, so many!" Zhou Zhiming's eyes widened, and he subconsciously touched the gun slung behind his back.

Although Song Hai didn't say anything, the shock on his face was no less than that of Zhou Zhiming.

"How much is that?"

Looking down at the flock of sheep, Bayar slowly said, "A few days ago, my father and I went out and saw a flock of at least a thousand sheep. That was truly terrifying."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiming immediately gasped. He was already shocked by what he saw, and he couldn't imagine what it would be like to see thousands of people.

Master Chen and Li Kaixin saw different scenes.

Looking around, a large area of ​​grassland has become barren.

If the gazelles continue like this, it could be a significant blow to the local herders.

However, both of them kept the truth to themselves and had no solution; speaking it out would only cause more trouble.

Master Chen turned to look at Bayar and said with a smile, "Brother Bayar, you and Brother Chagan are familiar with hunting gazelles, so it's up to you to arrange the next steps."

Zhou Zhiming and Song Hai also looked over, curious about what would happen next.

Bayar and Chagan exchanged a glance and then immediately dismounted.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhiming, Master Chen, and Li Kaixin all followed suit.

After Song Hai was the last to dismount, everyone sat down together.

Chagan was about to speak about his plan.

A gruff voice rang out from not far away: "Bayar, Chagan, what are you two doing here today?"

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw five or six Mongolian youths wearing sheepskin coats and riding horses coming around from the side of the slope.
