After slowing down once more and raising his guard, Chen Yumo's progress became slower, but the trouble he encountered decreased significantly.
The places he wanted to explore were all dangerous regions. As long as he did not recklessly charge headfirst into them, avoiding risks was not difficult with his survival skills.
Since he specifically sought out strange, remote places rarely visited by people, he found quite a few top-grade medicinal herbs that were extremely old.
