Chu Xingran asked: ”Then what do you plan tomorrow? Do we still chase them? ”

Zu Yuanfei nodded and said, ”Of course, Junior Sister Fang and Junior Brother Bu went back to the Immortal Destiny Mountain to report, so we have to follow up on them.”

The first rays of the morning sun shone through the trees into the mottled forest. After Zu Yuanfei woke up, he opened his eyes and looked around. Seeing that the forest was still dark and untraceable, he closed his eyes and sat down quietly.

After a while, Zu Yuanfei woke up most of the crowd. He opened his eyes and looked at them, saying, ”Everyone, quickly eat something. Let's wait for it to light up a bit before we trace it.”

Thus, everyone took out their rations and began to eat.

After eating the rations, Zu Yuanfei began to arrange things, ”Today, Junior Chu and Junior Song are still flying in the sky on magical pets. The two of you need to pay close attention to the movements on the ground around us. The rest of you, follow the trail. ”

Chu Xingran and Song Xue agreed. They called for their Magic Pet to sit on it and flew into the sky. The rest of the people also found the traces they had found yesterday and started chasing after them.

Because they had to search carefully, even though the Magic Forest was sparsely populated, there were still magical beast activities. They had to distinguish between the tracks of magical beasts and humans, so they walked very slowly.

It wasn't until the evening of the second day that Zu Yuanfei and his entourage finally found themselves in the valley. One of them noticed that there were a lot of traces outside the cave, so he called out to the people in front, ”Come and take a look, there seem to be a lot of traces here, they must have been here for a while.”

The person walking in front came back and looked at the place. Someone said, ”We saw it too. ”What is it?”

”Look, there's a cave here. There are traces at the entrance, are they inside?”

Upon hearing these words, everyone was taken aback for a moment before turning to look at the entrance of the cave.

Meng Qingshan quickly turned his head to look at Zu Yuanfei, who was behind him, ”Martial Ancestor, there is a hole here, and there are many traces of it.”

Zu Yuanfei quickly walked over and stared at the large amount of marks on the cave entrance and muttered, ”Hmm, not bad, they must have stayed here for a while. ”Let's go take a look.”

Su Liuwu quickly pulled him back, ”Big Brother Zu, I'm afraid they're still inside.”

Only then did Zu Yuanfei stop. He turned around and found a pine tree among the trees, broke off a pine branch soaked in pine oil, and lit it with a flint. Not far from the cave entrance, he threw the burning pine branch into the cave and immediately flew back into the cave.

After the pine tree branch had fallen into the cave, it had not extinguished yet. Zu Yuanfei could vaguely see the pile of ashes burning in the cave. He was lost in thought.

Seeing Zu Yuan fly into the cave, Meng Qingshan and Su Liuwu didn't say anything. They thought something had happened to him, so they jumped into the cave and saw the pile of ashes. They murmured, ”They stayed here for a long time, but we were too late.”

Only then did Zu Yuanfei wake up. He walked up to the ashes, squatted down, and touched them with his hand. It was already cold. ”They should have left yesterday,” he said. ”We're two days away.”

The others followed Meng Qingshan and Su Liuwu into the cave. They stood around the pile of ashes in a daze. Hearing Zu Yuanfei's words, they were a bit disappointed. They had thought that they would find him, but who would have thought that they would be the ones to find him?

Zu Yuanfei stood up, and seeing the dejected look on everyone's faces, he hurriedly said, ”Don't be discouraged, everyone. Now we have found traces of them staying here, at least we know that they had rested here the night before. That is to say, they are two days away from us now. Although we are slower, but they are frightened birds, every day can only sneak away. It has already been two days and Junior Sister Fang and Junior Brother Bu should hurry back to the Immortal Destiny Mountain. When that time comes, the sect will send out a large number of their fellow sect members to search everywhere for them and they will have nowhere to hide. ”
