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.

Because their team entered the forest much later than the group of slaves, the traces left by the slaves have been mostly covered by the self-recovery of the forest. So they couldn’t determine right away which direction the slaves were heading.
