Chapter 182 The Explorer, In Search of Immortal Traces
The crowd was filled with unease, like scattered stars in the night sky, cautiously searching around the battlefield.
The Valley Master of Qingxin Valley led several of his most agile and skilled disciples.
We embarked on a winding and secluded path, slowly making our way deeper into the mountains and forests.
This path seemed abandoned by time, with weeds growing rampant and thorns crisscrossing on both sides.
Like a ferocious monster, it would occasionally extend its "claws" to grab their clothes, seemingly trying to stop them from moving forward.
The Valley Master's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, his eyes seemingly able to pierce through layers of mist, not missing any seemingly ordinary corner.
Whenever she encountered a tree hollow or cave, she would solemnly bend down and crouch down, her movements gentle and meticulous.
It was as if they were afraid of disturbing the clues hidden within.
She carefully examined the ground for any signs of a struggle, even the slightest scratch.
Even a crushed leaf could be the key to solving the mystery; she refused to miss any clue.
The Valley Master of Qingxin Valley looked solemn as he carefully examined the scene, speaking in a low voice.
She solemnly instructed her disciples beside her: "Children, be extremely careful. Any seemingly insignificant clue could be related to the life and death of us sisters."
One of the disciples responded softly, "Rest assured, Valley Master, we will not overlook any details."
The Valley Master continued, "We bear a heavy responsibility and must not slack off in the slightest."
Disciple A said firmly, "Valley Master, rest assured, we will not let go of even the smallest clue."
Disciple B echoed, "Yes, if it's because of our negligence, we won't be able to explain ourselves."
The disciples nodded firmly, their eyes revealing unwavering focus and determination.
They were keenly aware of the difficulty and importance of this mission, and a sense of mission burned brightly in their hearts.
Elder Yan Hao and Dugu Lin steadily made their way towards a low-lying valley.
Along the way, they relied on the profound experience they had accumulated over many years on their spiritual path.
Like a keen hunter, they meticulously sensed whether there were any residual magical fluctuations in the air.
With each step they took, they remained highly vigilant, their eyes as sharp as hawks, not missing a single subtle change.
Even a gently turned leaf or an accidentally broken branch can instantly attract their attention.
Elder Yan Hao frowned, his expression stern.
He said in a deep voice, "Everyone must be careful. Every blade of grass and every tree in this valley may hold hidden dangers. Do not let your guard down."
Dugu Lin gripped his longsword tightly, the blade trembling slightly, as if in response to the potential dangers around him.
Ready to face unknown challenges at any time, he replied, "Elder, rest assured, I will keep a close eye on the surroundings."
Dugu Lin looked around warily and said in a low voice, "This place is eerily quiet. I feel like there's a pair of eyes watching us."
Elder Yan Hao nodded slightly, gripping his staff tightly: "Yes, never be careless, for unknown dangers often appear unexpectedly."
They strode forward steadily, each step filled with vigilance, and the entire valley was shrouded in a heavy, tense atmosphere.
The wolf king, relying on its sense of smell, moved steadily along the edge of the battlefield, like a calm black phantom.
Its nose twitched continuously, its focused expression seemingly trying to capture every familiar or unfamiliar scent in the air.
The wolf cub, the fawn, and the myna followed closely behind the wolf king. Although they were small in size, their eyes revealed a resolute spirit.
The wolf cub would frequently press its nose close to the ground, leaving no spot unchecked, and trying its best to find any remaining scent clues.
The fawn pricked up its long, sensitive ears, listening to even the slightest sounds around it;
The myna bird circled and soared in the air, its sharp eyes scanning the wider area, not missing any suspicious signs.
The little wolf suddenly said, "Father, I seem to smell something strange."
The wolf king paused briefly, sniffing carefully: "Hmm, keep an eye out, this scent might help us find them."
The little wolf nodded vigorously, his face solemn: "Father, I will definitely sniff carefully and never let this scent dissipate."
The wolf king looked at the little wolf with satisfaction: "Good, indeed my son."
They collaborated with each other, forming a well-coordinated and orderly search team.
On this battlefield filled with mystery, they searched with all their might for the whereabouts of the three Flower and Leaf Sisters.
Grandma and Grandma walked side by side, their steps steady and firm, slowly moving forward along the babbling brook, each step carrying deep worry and concern.
They remained silent the entire way, only their heartfelt calls echoing through the quiet mountains and forests, like weeping and lamenting, evoking pity in the hearts of all.
"Man'er, where are you? Show yourself quickly so that Grandma can see you..."
Grandma's voice was low and hoarse, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back from falling.
Grandma kept wiping away tears, murmuring to herself, "My dear granddaughters, you must all be safe and sound. My heart is breaking..."
At this moment, Grandma's voice trembled slightly as she said, "I don't know how they are doing now. If I can find them, I will be willing to pay any price."
Grandma comforted them, saying, "We will definitely find them. The children are blessed with good fortune."
The old aunt beside Grandma looked solemn. She clenched her fists and said sternly, "If I find the villains who harmed the children, I will make sure they suffer a terrible death!"
The old aunt had always doted on the three Huaye Man sisters, and now she was extremely anxious.
My aunt and uncle also joined the search team.
My aunt held a delicate magic wand, the gem at the tip of the wand shimmering with a faint light, a light that seemed to contain my aunt's concern and worry for the three sisters.
My uncle carried a sword on his back, its blade gleaming coldly. His eyes were resolute, always ready to face any potential crisis.
My aunt frowned and said with a solemn expression, "I don't know what happened to the children, I just hope they are safe and sound."
My aunt's husband patted her shoulder gently and comforted her, "Don't worry, we will definitely find them."
My aunt bit her lip tightly, her eyes reddening: "I hope they are safe. If anything happens to them, I really don't know what to do."
My uncle stared sharply ahead: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect everyone and find the children."
Their voices echoed through the empty valley, but received no response.
This made their already heavy mood even more depressed, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on their hearts.
The mother and aunt searched carefully in an open field, not missing any corner that might have left clues.
Every inch of land was scrutinized by their eyes, as if they wanted to dig out hidden secrets from this land.
The mother slowly squatted down, her movements steady and deliberate, gently touching the footprints on the ground with her hand.
They tried to find some familiar traces in them, as if they could find the whereabouts of the three sisters through these footprints.
My aunt watched nervously from the side, her eyes filled with worry and anticipation, every subtle expression revealing her inner anxiety.
The mother said in a low voice, "These footprints look a bit strange. I wonder if they were left by them."
My aunt leaned over and said, "Whether it is true or not, we must not overlook any possibility."
My aunt squatted down to examine them closely, and said with a puzzled look, "The shape and size of these footprints are not quite right. I really hope they were left by them, so that we can find them."
Mother stood up, her brows furrowed: "Yes, even if there's only a sliver of hope, we can't give up."
Just when everyone had gained nothing and their mood was sinking deeper and deeper into an abyss,
Suddenly, the wolf king stopped abruptly at the foot of a mountain wall.
