Shi Wen nodded. "Hurry up."

Qile Moge made the arrangements quickly.

They carried weapons primarily for protection against wild animals.

This area is home to wolves, brown bears, and snow leopards. Although wild animals generally don't attack humans, who can say for sure in such harsh weather?

It's safer to bring weapons.

As for food and water, they were for dealing with severe weather.

In case everyone gets separated on the road, carrying life-saving supplies can prevent accidents.

Soon, Qile Moge distributed the prepared items to everyone, and Shi Wen led them forward.

Shi Wen, holding a flashlight, walked and assessed the situation, and quickly found the direction in which the sheep had gone missing.

The hoofprints show that the sheep were in a panic as they ran away. At first, they were trotting slowly, but later they started running wildly.

They must have been frightened by the sandstorm.

Shi Wen that they could only walk, following the hoofprints.

Fortunately, the people who came together to find the sheep were all in good physical condition. They pulled each other along silently, without raising any objections to Shi Wen.

Because everyone cooperated well, Shi Wen felt very happy even though he was a little tired from walking.

As he walked, he began to feel the heat.

His animal ears fluttered under his hoodie, causing the hood to sway.

Yan Kexing walked behind him discreetly, shielding him from view.

The wind was still blowing, and the night was deep, so no one noticed anything unusual about Shi Wen's ears.

Shi Wen was startled and reached up to adjust his hat to prevent his ears from pulling the hoodie hood off.

As he walked, he suddenly stopped.

Just as the person behind him was about to ask what was wrong, a series of chaotic beams of light suddenly appeared in front of him, followed by a cacophony of sounds.

There were clearly people behind the beam of light; Shi Wen them shouting and responding.

It was quickly clear to everyone that both sides were out looking for sheep, and both were looking for Dolan Sheep.

Dolan Sheep are quite valuable, no wonder everyone is so anxious.

The two groups merged into one, and everyone asked each other if they had seen any trace of the Dolan Sheep, and then all gave negative answers.

The man who seemed to be the leader asked, "Which way are you going?"

Shi Wen pointed to the northwest. "Over there, our Dolan Sheep should be over there."

The man's eyes widened in surprise. "Do you know the exact location of the Dolan Sheep? The locator they're wearing has a signal?"

Dolan Sheep are very valuable, Qile Moge put tracking devices on each of their Dolan Sheep to ensure they were safe.

Anyway, a GPS tracker doesn't cost much, and having one will give me peace of mind.

Unfortunately, the weather was terrible today, and many places were without power, so the locator couldn't transmit a signal.

They could only rely on ancient methods, searching manually.

Qile Moge head. "There's no signal. We were just looking at the hoofprints and figured we should go that way."

The man asked, "Are there sheep hoofprints on the ground? This area is all messy, I can't tell."

Shi Wen looked at the ground and said, "Yes, there are several flocks of sheep that have probably gone that way. You can see that this mark is clearly different from the marks next to it."

The group stirred slightly, and the man in the lead asked, "Can you still tell the difference? Are our sheep in there too?"

Shi Wen helplessly, "I've never seen your sheep, so I can't tell if they're inside."

Just as Shi Wen finished speaking, someone in the group suddenly shouted, "I know who you are! You're Shi Wen, right? Shi Wen the Shi Family Ranch, the one who's really good at finding livestock."

The group of people had clearly heard of Shi Wen's reputation. Upon hearing that it was him, they looked at each other with delight and kept glancing at him.

The leader of the men asked for his opinion, "Young Brother Shi, could two of us go with you to search?"

Shi Wen had no objections. Qile Moge, and seeing that he didn't object, said, "If you don't mind the trouble, then split up. Hurry up, we need to keep searching."

The leader immediately pointed out two young men. "You two hurry up and go with Young Brother Shi to search. Call me if you have any news, and keep in touch."

The two young men nodded vigorously with excitement and joined Shi Wen's group.

After the brief incident, they continued on their way.

Shi Wen almost without stopping, rushing headlong in a certain direction.

He didn't feel tired at all and walked very fast. The people behind him couldn't keep up, and they were too embarrassed to admit that they weren't physically fit, so they could only admire him while gritting their teeth and chasing after him.

After walking for most of the night, around 11 p. m., Shi Wen finally led them to the edge of a dense forest.

Perhaps the wind was calmer in the Linzi, so the sheep took Linzi there.

Shi Wen, "There don't seem to be any more footprints in the Linzi. We'll just have to keep searching."

Qile Moge panted, "Alright, let's go into the Linzi and try our luck. I just don't know if there are any wild animals Linzi?"

Shi Wen listened intently for a while, then shook his head. "There are no large wild animals; we can go in."

They told each other to be careful, and then went into the Linzi.

Deep in the Linzi, it's not so easy to communicate.

The line stretched out in a long queue, and they walked forward, stumbling along the muddy ground.

After walking for a while, Shi Wen suddenly heard voices coming from ahead. The voices were rather soft, but they were definitely human voices, and judging from the sounds, there were quite a few people ahead.

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing exchanged a glance and walked towards the direction from which the voices were coming from.

They walked straight to a valley.

There was a large group of people in the valley, arguing endlessly. Their various languages were mixed together, making it a headache to listen to.

Shi Wen led his men over.
