Once the soldiers rested enough, the procession started to move once again. They packed their capsule camps in their space ring and took care of the place where they had camped to make sure that none of the beasts in the forest would pick up on their scent, Team Sun under Chen Meilin's guidance started to move down the forest that was located at the end of the cliff.
The deeper they went inside the more path turned steeper.
"Careful now, don't slip," Chen Meilin told the rest of the team as they followed the path they had deduced after carefully examining the Ruby Head Snake.
This was the usual path which the Ruby Head Snake took, at least that what was their conclusion was after studying the markings around the forest but now that they were walking down the path——the team members could not help but question if their deductions were even right.
For an hour they walked on this path that seemed to be getting straighter with every mile that they walked and were yet to see anything. Were they going to return with nothing in their hands? They did not want to! Not after taking a risk that literally put their lives on the line.
Just as the team members of Team Sun were feeling a bit depressed, they heard Mo Qiang exclaim.
"I found something!" Mo Qiang stared at the small watch in front of her. She patted Huhu who had sniffed his way through this path and found this watch that could be used as a piece of evidence. At least this way they knew that they were going down the right path.
She turned to the little husky whose eyes were filled with pride and praised him, "You have done a good job." Her praise brought a smile to Huhu's face while the rest of the spirits pouted unhappily. They wanted to be of use for Mo Qiang as well but they were not good with their sense of smell.
Maybe now that they were closer, Mo Qiang could feel the sense of depression the other three spirits were feeling. She patted them one by one before saying, "You all can be of help later when we find the hideout of that hideous snake." Since that snake was undefeated till now, Mo Qiang was certain that she would need the help of the spirits to take care of him.
Her words brought back the confidence that the spirits had lost when they saw that they were being of no use to their master.
Chi Chi patted his chest and declared that he would be of great use in the fight, and so did Yaya and Croaky. They have been preparing to fight that snake for a long time, surely their training would come in handy?
Mo Qiang smiled at their antics but then she found herself being greeted by a gust of wind.
A second later she heard a loud exclamation.
"It…It belongs to my brother!" Dai Lihua clutched the watch and hugged it close to her chest. Tears poured down her eyes as the rest of the team walked over to where she was kneeling. The spot where they were standing was suddenly illuminated with a silvery glow as the torches were concentrated in one corner.
The wind caused by the sudden explosion in the craters on the ground, ruffled their clothing while mud and dirt splattered on the fabric of the clothes. The forest was quiet other than the sound of Dai Lihua's crying, nothing else could be heard. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Remembering that this woman was here to look for her brother, the rest of the team felt a bit awkward. What were they supposed to do now? Should they console her?
