After Shao Xuan went down the mountain, he began to look around.
He didn't know which mountain was the one he saw in his dream. The view from above was wider, so Shao Xuan borrowed the Hui tribe's giant mountain eagle to look around.
Unfortunately, from above, he couldn't see which mountain was special. There wasn't much difference between the few mountains he saw from above.
These giant mountain eagles were obviously wary of and didn't trust people from the Hui tribe as much as they did people from the Hui tribe. After a round of searching, the giant mountain eagle named "Shan Dao", who was carrying Shao Xuan on his back, began to get impatient. It called out a few times, urging Shao Xuan to finish looking.
Gu La tried to appease "Shan Dao" a few times, but unfortunately, the giant mountain eagles had a temper. This was the most they could tolerate after compromising. They already felt uncomfortable here, and now they had to carry someone they didn't trust on their back. They had to walk around in circles in a place that made them feel uncomfortable. It would be strange if they were in a good mood.
Shao Xuan drew on the animal skin roll all the places he suspected to be in his dream. Trees, streams, mountains, etc. As long as they looked similar, he marked them all.
When he was almost done, Shao Xuan got down from the eagle's back. The three eagles of the Hui tribe weren't Chacha, so Shao Xuan couldn't make them cooperate all the time. He could see that the three eagles were very afraid of this place. It wasn't because they sensed danger, but because they felt uncomfortable.
After he finished drawing, Shao Xuan didn't force them anymore. He thanked Gu La, and Shao Xuan led the four people from the Yanjiao to search according to the places marked on the map.
They couldn't be sure where it was, so they could only use the method of searching mountain by mountain.
At first, some people wanted to follow Shao Xuan, but when they saw Shao Xuan and the others looking around aimlessly, they lost their patience and didn't continue to follow them.
The five of them quickly shuttled through the woods. Shao Xuan ran at the front, his eyes sweeping around. If he found a marked place, he would stop to take a look. If he couldn't find it, he would change to another place.
After searching three mountains, the five of them stopped to rest.
The forest was quieter than the other places they had passed. The place where they stopped was even quieter. They could only hear some birds and insects chirping, and the faint roars of beasts in the distance. The most obvious sound was the heavy breathing of the five people due to the continuous running.
With their physiques, they wouldn't be this tired even if they chased their prey for several days, as long as they didn't have to fight with fearsome beasts.
Along the way, they did not encounter many ferocious beasts, let alone giant ones. As long as they were careful of the plants and animals hiding in the shadows, they would be fine. They were already used to hunting in the mountains and forests. The animal and plant crisis here was nothing to them, but they felt tired.
Very tired!
"It's so hot!" Duo Kang sighed.
Last winter, they were almost buried in the snow. But this winter, it was unbearably hot on this side of the sea. Two extremes.
Shao Xuan stood up from the rock and looked around at the forest. There were some hidden eyes watching them. They were just predators hiding in the bushes. They were the smarter ones in the forest. They were judging and measuring the fighting power of Shao Xuan and the others. If they felt that they could attack, they would probably take action. But now, they were still hesitating. Shao Xuan and the others were too strong. They didn't dare to act rashly.
Shao Xuan didn't look at the figures hiding in the bushes. He just kept his guard up. But most of his attention was on the surroundings.
"Is it really because of the weather that you feel tired?" Shao Xuan asked.
When they first saw this place, they noticed the difference. The plants here were fresher and fresher.
The air seemed to be very fresh, and every breath made people feel refreshed. However, that was only the beginning. The more intense the exercise, the longer the duration, the more suffocating it felt. Even if they breathed hard, they would still feel tired easily.
When Shao Xuan said that, the other four also felt that something was wrong.
"Now I believe that there is a green-faced fanged beast here," Mai smiled. To him, the more special the beast was, the more special the place it lived in.
"Let's go, let's keep looking." Duo Kang moved his sore muscles and became more excited. To him, finding the green-faced fanged beast was the most important thing. Compared to stone weapons, he preferred the clanging sound of metal weapons. However, after using Heng's metal weapons, he was not used to using lower quality weapons. He would rather use weapons made from high-quality stone than low-quality metal weapons. It was not convenient for him.
Soon, once he found the green-faced fanged beast, he would be able to make better metal weapons to make up for the difference in technology!
Duo Kang's heart was burning. He didn't care about the fatigue. It wasn't just him, the others felt the same. So what if they knew something was wrong here? They had to keep looking!
The five of them continued to search for the next location. When they reached the eighth mountain, Shao Xuan suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. It was his first time here but why did it feel so familiar? There was only one reason — he had seen it in his dream!
The scenery in his dream was very blurry. The forest here was not very different from the places they had searched before. The distribution of species, the density of the trees, the height of the grass, etc. But now, Shao Xuan stood in the middle of the forest and the sense of familiarity grew stronger.
"It's here!"
Shao Xuan's words made the four of them excited.
Following the familiar feeling, Shao Xuan slowly compared every place with the scenery in his dream. The originally dim background in his memory started to brighten up. The different shades of green perfectly matched the dim outline in his dream.
Just then, he heard the sound of shuttling quickly.
Moving forward, Shao Xuan stopped and looked around. Pushing aside the grass, he saw the lightly scented grass that he had taken when he dismantled the trap.
It wasn't complete grass. If he hadn't deliberately searched here, Shao Xuan wouldn't have noticed it because it was only a little bit above the ground, as if it had been bitten off by something.
"This … was bitten by the green-faced fanged beast?" Duo Kang's voice trembled with excitement as he stared at Shao Xuan, waiting for him to give an answer.
"It should be." Without seeing the final target, Shao Xuan couldn't be sure, but in his heart, he was seventy percent sure.
There was no definite answer, but this already made Duo Kang and the others very happy.
Sure enough, Shao Xuan's dream wasn't in vain!
Although he wanted to find the target quickly, he couldn't rush it. Duo Kang followed beside Shao Xuan, guarding the surroundings and dealing with the threats that emerged from the grass so that Shao Xuan could focus on the road.
Walking out of the forest, Shao Xuan saw the stream that wasn't deep, and he seemed to hear the sound of flowing water in his dream.
When he stepped into the water, Shao Xuan felt that something was wrong. The sound was wrong. The sound of flowing water in his dream was softer. Could it be that he had stepped on stones?
That couldn't be right. There were no stones in the middle of the stream to step on, but Shao Xuan couldn't find a reasonable answer to explain it, so he could only skip this part.
After crossing the stream and seeing the crooked trees, Shao Xuan was no longer suspicious. Looking from the air, he couldn't see the shape of the trees. He could only see the dense foliage, so it was difficult to find this forest. Standing on the ground, it was different. The crooked trunks were clearly displayed in his field of vision.
This was the place. There was no mistake!
The stench of rotting flesh wafted through the air. There were also the threatening roars of birds and beasts.
The five of them looked at each other and walked over with light footsteps.
They were getting closer and closer to the place where they had been attacked in the dream.
The stench of rotting flesh was also getting stronger.
The scavenger birds pecked at each other, fighting for food. Some small beasts roared and chased away the birds that had landed. Their behavior caused another scuffle. There were also some flying insects the size of bees wandering around.
There was a two-meter tall beast carcass. In this area, it was considered large, but its body was thin and long. When it stood upright, it was about seven or eight meters tall. Now, less than a quarter of the carcass had been eaten. It was impossible to see what the beast looked like when it was alive.
The birds, beasts, and insects all surrounded the carcass to fight for food. Shao Xuan didn't go over. It wasn't wise to go over now. It would attract the attention of the scavenger animals. Beasts would also go crazy when protecting their food.
When the carcass was almost finished, the birds gradually flew away. The beasts that had eaten their fill left one by one. The insects on the ground were also almost gone. Shao Xuan approached the carcass.
Waving the weapon in his hand, he chased away the flying insects. Shao Xuan looked at the carcass in front of him. There were only bones left.
It was here that he had been attacked. No, to be precise, perhaps the one that had been attacked wasn't Shao Xuan. At that time, the one that had been attacked was probably this dead beast.
There was a bone plate in front of the beast's chest. It should have been used for protection. However, Shao Xuan saw a round hole in the bone plate.
The bone plate was used for protection, but it had been easily pierced through. It was clear that the sharp weapon, as well as the speed and strength of the attack.
No wonder he had felt the danger of the sharp blade in the dream. This should be it.
"There are only some fresh bite marks on the bones. It should have been bitten by the scavenger animals. Other than that, I don't see any other wounds," Mai analyzed after looking at the carcass.
"It doesn't look like there was a fight around here." Tuo glanced at the surrounding forest with doubt.
"It was a fatal blow." Shao Xuan pointed at the round hole. "If it was really the green-faced fanged beast that killed it, we have to be more careful."
The green-faced fanged beast didn't eat meat. That was why it left after killing the beast and left the carcass to the scavenger animals.
"Do you think the reason why there are fewer large beasts in this area is because all the threatening beasts have been slaughtered?"
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
