Ling Zhenfei whispered to Ru Meng, "Your protector is really amazing, tracking us down overnight."
Ru Meng replied, "Maybe we left some traces, otherwise how could they follow us for such a long time?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Let them search and see where they can go."
Ling Zhenfei was eager to know how these people tracked them, and quickly used the Soul Out of Body method, sending his soul directly beside the protectors.
At this moment, he heard the protectors had reached the Pile of Rocks, and several people were quite shocked because the animal blood left at the scene had dyed the snow on the stones red.
"Protector Leng, what's going on here, why is there so much blood?" someone asked the protector in shock.
Protector Leng said, "What's the fuss? There are so many animal corpses here. It's definitely after a battle, or some beasts came hunting, that's why there are so many animal corpses."
"Protector Leng, do you think someone might have killed animals for the blood, and that's why so many were killed?"
Protector Leng's expression wasn't good, and he said, "What nonsense, do you think everyone cultivates the Blood Evil God Technique like you?"
That person stopped talking immediately.
Ling Zhenfei was stunned to learn that someone from the Blood Oath Sect indeed used blood to cultivate their method, although they used small animal blood, probably because they couldn't get enough human blood.
That so-called lord used human blood, which was probably much stronger than animal blood.
At this moment, Protector Leng said, "Old Dog, quickly find out where Ru Meng's scent went."
Ling Zhenfei was surprised that these people were tracking Ru Meng's scent.
Then a young man stepped forward, leaned down to the ground, and sniffed. After a while, he stood up and said, "Protector Leng, the ground is full of fresh blood, I can't smell Ru Meng's scent."
Ling Zhenfei was startled; this person was indeed formidable enough to smell Ru Meng's scent. Fortunately, last night's battle covered the area in blood, hiding Ru Meng's scent, a blessing in disguise.
"Useless, absolutely useless, can't handle such a simple thing properly. Smell carefully, there must be a trace left here."
Being scolded by Protector Leng, the person continued sniffing for Ru Meng's scent, but the area was filled with small animals' blood and odors. Ru Meng's scent was minimal, making it impossible to detect.
The person's expression wasn't good, but being closely watched by Protector Leng, he didn't know what to do. After some time, he stood up and said, "Protector Leng, I truly can't smell Ru Meng's scent, but I have another idea."
Protector Leng said, "Do you know how precious our time is? The lord's cultivation has reached a critical point. If we lose Ru Meng now, the lord will be angry, and we won't be able to bear the consequences."
The person trembled slightly with fear, saying, "Yes, yes, you're absolutely right, I will do my utmost to find Ru Meng."
Protector Leng said, "Then tell me what you have in mind."
Old Dog said, "Although I didn't smell Ru Meng's scent, there are several strange odors here, probably going in the same direction. If Ru Meng really passed through here, she might have headed that way."
Protector Leng said, "What are you waiting for, hurry up and chase."
"Yes, yes, they went this way." After saying that, Old Dog led Protector Leng and the others in the direction Chi Tiger chased.
After Ling Zhenfei and the others left, they finally felt relieved, but still slightly worried because Protector Leng and the others pursued the same direction as Chi Tiger.
Chi Tiger was chasing the Giant Eagle that took Chi Tiger's child, naturally wanting to retrieve it, but honestly, even if Chi Tiger was fast, it couldn't match the speed of the Eagle's flight.
So by the time Chi Tiger reached the cliff, its little cub would likely have become the Eagle's meal, leading to an inevitable battle between Chi Tiger and the eagle flock.
With Protector Leng and the others there too, the situation would be more complicated, and even Ling Zhenfei and Ru Meng might find it difficult to intervene.
Though knowing the situation was extremely critical, they had no choice but to go to the cliff.
"Who is that Old Dog, so skilled, can track your scent?" Ling Zhenfei asked Ru Meng.
Ru Meng shook her head and said, "I don't know, maybe he cultivated some method, or is naturally sensitive to scents. I've already used medicinal powder to reduce my scent to the lowest, yet couldn't escape his nose."
Ling Zhenfei said, "We must be very careful in the upcoming journey. They have gone towards the cliff, who knows what will happen there, but a battle seems inevitable."
Ru Meng said, "Originally I hid in the mountains to avoid Protector Leng and the others, but now they've chased us, do you think I will go to the cliff with you?"
Ling Zhenfei knew Ru Meng was very wary of Protector Leng and the others, and would rather not go if possible.
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's fine, just get me near the cliff, and I'll handle the dangerous parts myself."
Ru Meng said, "Don't blame me for being unkind. I remember very well how you saved me last time in the mountains, but you don't know the Blood Oath Sect's methods, the state of people once their blood is drained.
So I can't take this risk with you. If you blame me, I have nothing to say, I just want to live safely."
Ling Zhenfei hurriedly said, "What are you saying? I wouldn't blame you, I'm already grateful you accompanied me, and I don't want you to take risks."
Ru Meng gratefully said, "Thank you for understanding. Let's go and bypass them."
After finishing talking, Ru Meng descended the tree and led Ling Zhenfei running swiftly towards the distance. The trees here were very dense, all were part of the primeval forest, and they began entering dangerous territory.
Since yesterday, Ling Zhenfei and Ru Meng found many spatial monsters in the forest, slowing their pace for safety.
They walked like this until the afternoon, when suddenly they heard roars from a distance, coupled with the sounds of breaking trees coming from afar.
Ru Meng said, "Ahead is the cliff, those roars must be from Chi Tiger."
Ling Zhenfei observed and said, "In that case, you can leave me here. Find a safe place to hide, I'll go alone."
Ru Meng looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Take care of yourself, I'll be nearby."
Ling Zhenfei said, "You take care of yourself too, don't let anyone spot you."
The two waved goodbye, their eyes filled with melancholy. Who knows when they'll meet again?
