Chapter 537 - The Lush Green Grounds
There were many broken branches around, and as the birds broke through the trees from above, more leaves and branches fell . Up above, a patch of blue sky was revealed, and the sun shone directly onto the ground.
Under the hot weather and scorching sun, the smell of carrion dispersed, attracting many scavenging animals. However, they weren’t sure whether a huge beast got mad at that location a few moments before they arrived. Besides the grey feathers, the scavenger birds, and some flying insects, no larger creatures were able to be seen.
After they searched the area for more tracks, the team set off once again
Now that they found the traces of the slaves of Rock Hill City, as long as they followed those tracks, they would easily complete their search. After all, they were a huge group.
Rumours told that Rock Hill City had dispatched about five hundred people, and when compared to the whole tribe or the whole Rock Hill City, this was not a lot. But the fact that they suddenly dispatched five hundred people from the desert and sent them to this forest meant that this was a huge investment. Shao Xuan’s group only had around fifty to sixty people.
When they found the slaves’ traces, the others no longer doubted the Flaming Horns. In fact, they felt very fortunate that they chose to follow them. If they were to look for the group of five hundred slaves by themselves, it would take them more than a hundred days and still, they probably wouldn’t be able to find them. There were many traces, but they were already starting to fade. The forest was recovering way faster than expected, and the corpses that they saw before that were nothing other than bones would probably disappear the next day. Not even a single bone would be left.
Amidst the mountains, within the lush greenness, some grey smoke rose from the forest. But because the wind was blowing, the smoke was blown away as soon as it rose.
“It’s the group of slaves! It has to be!”
“We finally caught up!” The people in the team exclaimed.
Shao Xuan looked at the mountain over there and said, “Perhaps, what they are looking for is in the forest in front of them.”
The team was suddenly quiet, and more than fifty pairs of eyes looked at Shao Xuan.
“Elder Shao Xuan means that ‘it’ is here?” Huang Ye asked.
On the way, he’d seen enough and gained enough respect for the Flaming Horns. His attitude towards them had definitely changed. Especially towards Shao Xuan. When Huang Ye spoke to them, he would use the title “Elder” to show his respect for them.
However, Shao Xuan didn’t care about those things. He didn’t care whether others approved of him.
At this instant, Shao Xuan looked at the forest in front of them and thought about what they knew about the green-faced fanged beast.
There were more mountains in front and probably more water too. At first glance, it gave people a sense of tranquillity. It was a special part of the Fearsome Beast Forest and there was a huge chance that the green-faced fanged beast was really there.
