Chapter 64 - Woods Tracking (1/2)

“It turned out to be a misunderstanding, but it had some serious consequences.” Hearing Mo Chen’s explanation, Ye Shang knew that both sides were not wrong, hence the grudge was a little difficult to resolve.

“Yeah, we can’t deal with it, so even I dare not provoke Sixth Sister.” Mo Chen said.

“I’ll look into it if I have time.” Ye Shang said with a smile.

“Well, maybe not. I don’t know how Chu Lingfei is doing now, maybe she’s married.” Mo Chen sighed and said as he cared for nothing else in order to avenge Guan Ye during these years.

Ye Shang was helpless since no one knew what happened to his lover after years of indifference shown to her by Mo Chen.

Leaving the city, the two sat on their flying mounts, and now they were on a task to save a lady from bandits.

If anything bad happened to this young lady, then they had to eliminate the bandits.

The task introduction showed that they didn’t have a high cultivation base, but they were familiar with the terrain, and the most important point was to find these bandits.

The task introduction indicated that the bandits were last seen near Cloud Pond.

Ye Shang dared to pick this task because he thought it wouldn’t be hard to find the hiding pot of the bandits with the help of Tian Yu.

He also thought that the lady might have not yet gotten killed, but probably had been rap*d.

Ye Shang made decisions when doing tasks as Mo Chen only protected him from behind .

Before picking up the task of Bloodthirsty Wolf King, Mo Chen was cautious as usually black iron tasks were done by the cultivators at Soul-Condensation Stage, and the cultivators at Qi-Refining Stage usually started with easier tasks before their cultivation base improved.

After Ye Shang successfully killed the Bloodthirsty Wolf King, Mo Chen felt that the cultivators at the early Soul-Condensation Stage were not as good as him when it came to combat.

The most important thing was that Ye Shang had an extremely strong fighting instincts as he would find the most effective way to fight according to the scene and the terrain.

Arriving at Cloud Pond, Ye Shang asked Tian Yu to hover at low altitude to look for clues.

Cloud Pond was more than 300 miles wide, and Ye Shang flew at a low altitude.

After an hour, Tian Yu landed because Ye Shang saw footprints on the black sand near the water.

“It shouldn’t be too far from here.” He squatted down and looked at the footprints.

“Why? Perhaps it was left before.” Mo Chen said.

“Impossible, although there is no wave here, it’s very humid. The dew at night is the same as the drizzle, so the footprints cannot stay for more than 3 days.” Ye Shang said with certainty.

Hearing Ye Shang’s speculation, Mo Chen was stunned since he couldn’t judge it from these footprints despite having experience in tracking.

Taking a look at the footprints, Ye Shang started leading the way, followed by Mo Chen, Tian Yu and the golden-winged eagle.

Ye Shang rarely stopped as he never hesitated even when they entered the woods.

Though sometimes he stopped to ponder, but their average speed was absolutely not slow.

Mo Chen was experienced in tracking, he thus knew that Ye Shang’s direction was correct as humans always left traces when walking through the woods.

Even if there was no footprint, traces could be found everywhere, such as fallen leaves or broken tree branches.

Ye Shang winded towards the front, and Mo Chen followed him with the two flying beasts.

After 4 hours, Ye Shang saw traces of fire.

“Martial Brother, they set fire here yesterday. Since they were many people, they couldn’t walk too fast. I estimate that they are now only a few hundreds of miles away from us.” Ye Shang took out the wine jar and said.
