The creaking ox cart moved slowly forward.
Li Huowang and his companions continued to walk beside the oxen's heads.
Some of their luggage was placed on several ox carts, which had made everyone a lot lighter and their appearance no longer as haggard as before.
These new tools had been purchased when they passed through a town, with Sun Baolu handling the negotiations.
After all, they still had to continue on their journey, and such essential tools could not be lacking.
Jin Shanzhao, still carrying his bamboo basket, hummed a tune from the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the lush green grassland around him improved his mood significantly.
In the heartland of Huo Shu, one couldn't see such beautiful scenery; it seemed they were nearly there.
He opened his map once again, rechecking their current position.
"Hmm... roughly a few more days of walking, and we should be able to cross the pass."
