As they passed through a mountain pass, a group of bandits suddenly charged down from the heights. Wielding sharp blades and looking fierce, they blocked the caravan's path. Seeing this, Xiao Yu quickly drew his sword and led the guards into a fierce battle with the bandits. Meanwhile, Shen Qing held Nian'an tightly inside the carriage, her heart filled with worry.
The bandits were numerous and extremely fierce, and the guards were gradually beginning to struggle against them. Anxious and frantic, Xiao Yu knew that if they failed to beat back the bandits soon, the caravan would suffer heavy losses, and they wouldn't even be able to guarantee everyone's safety. Just then, Shen Qing suddenly remembered a type of disorienting and deterrent spice she had once developed. She quickly took some materials from the spice box in the carriage and nervously mixed them right there inside.
Before long, Shen Qing had finished blending the spice. She ignited it and threw it out of the carriage. Instantly, a pungent and peculiar smoke billowed out. Upon inhaling the smoke, the bandits felt dizzy and their vision blurred, and their combat effectiveness was severely reduced. Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Yu led the guards in a counterattack, and after a fierce struggle, they finally succeeded in driving off the bandits.
