“The Green Life Grass was also taken away by him!”
In fact, from her sense of smell, the Green Life Grass should have been eaten by someone.
However, there was no residual smell of Green Life Grass on Jia Jing’s body. It could be seen that the person who had eaten the Green Life Grass was Zhao Yu.
“Everyone, stop day dreaming and follow me!” Huang Hai Xiao turned around and shouted at the onlookers.
He picked up Hu Xue and the group was about to leave.
Who knew that Hu Xue refused and demanded someone to bury her lover beforehand. “Leave someone behind to bury my Brother Jing!”
Huang Hai Xiao was as furious as Hu Xue. He didn’t expect the Green Life Grass to be stolen by someone else. He pointed at a person and followed his instructions. Then, they chased after Zhao Yu.
Beside a great river, Zhao Yu habitually looked around, and he stripped off his clothes, tied them to a dry branch lying by the riverbed with a rope, and threw it all into the water.
Watching his clothes and the branch drift away, Zhao Yu then plunged into the river.
Minutes later, a group of about thirty people arrived at the riverbank, among them notably Hu Xue.
She pointed downstream and exclaimed, “He ran that way, hurry up!”
Huang Hai Xiao led the people and followed after her to pursue along the river.
Early in their pursuit of Zhao Yu, the two had agreed that Hu Xue would serve their western camp, and they would take care of killing Zhao Yu for her.
Huang Hai Xiao agreed immediately and even allowed her to kill a monster along the way to regain her strength as he wanted to kill Zhao Yu for stealing his Green Life Grass.
After the group left, it wasn’t long before Zhao Yu slowly emerged from the other side of the riverbank.
“Indeed, the girl was tracking me by scent!” Zhao Yu smirked, unsurprised by this outcome.
He had realized before he left that if he didn’t shake off these people, it would be troublesome.
His trick of the shedding cicada’s shell had worked just right.
Back on land, Zhao Yu took a new set of clothes from his storage space and put them on before continuing northward.
Meanwhile, Hu Xue and the others followed the river for nearly half an hour, only to find the branch drifting in the rapid river currents.
“That seems to be just the clothes!” Huang Hai Xiao angrily smashed the whole branch to pieces and realizing they had been fooled.
Hu Xue, however, struggled to accept the reality.
She look and searched carefully around and after a thorough check of Zhao Yu’s clothes, she roared in anger.
“I want you dead ahhhh!”
After slashing the clothes several times, she stopped.
She picked up the most fragrant underwear, inhaled deeply to remember the scent, and then found a plastic bag to wrap it up.
For her, Zhao Yu was an unknown entity; the only clue was his scent.
This was her only way to avenge Brother Jing, and despite the disgust, she needed to remember the scent of Zhao Yu.
Now, Huang Hai Xiao also came back to his senses, realizing that Zhao Yu must had successfully escaped.
“Let’s head back to camp first, meet with my boss. With his help, we can probably use that person’s portrait to inquire and see if we can confirm his identity…”
“No matter where that person has gone, if a year passes, he must eventually head to the second-tier camp. If we guard the entrance to the ladder, we shouldn’t worry about him escaping, right?!”
Hu Xue then snapped to her senses, “Let’s hurry to the lower second-tier camp, we can’t let him escape!”
Huang Hai Xiao didn’t dawdle, nodded to the people, and took Hu Xue rushing towards the lower second-tier camp.
Over the next day, Zhao Yu kept moving forward to explore the surrounding. He occasionally encountered first-tier high-level ordinary monsters and would clear them out when convenient, though they offered little experience, ranging from 0.1% to 0.5% per monster.
At his level, only elite and commander monsters clearly offered more experience, but with Zhao Yu’s current strength, hunting these monster alone was still difficult, so he had to let it be.
Finally, after passing through a forest, the area suddenly opened up.
Zhao Yu also finally understood what Hao Yu Wei had described, the so-called ‘knowing the location of the second-tier camp at a glance’.
According to Hao Yu Wei, she had once asked Li Tian Ba to bring her to the second-tier camp. After crossed over a thousand kilometers, and there would be something that clearly indicated the location of the second-tier camp.
In the distance, at the horizon, stood a towering sky-piercing tower connecting to the upper sky.
“Is that the second-tier camp?!”
Zhao Yu was somewhat astounded, fully grasping the concept of the upper and lower second-tier camps.
“So, the upper camp is up there, and the lower camp is right beneath that tower?!”
Once the location was confirmed, the journey became easier.
After another half a day, Zhao Yu finally reached the base of the sky-piercing tower.
From afar, the tower looked like a slender pillar, but up close, it was quite wide, at least several hundred meters across, all white, made of a special material that seemed very sturdy.
Standing on the top of a tree, Zhao Yu looked far towards the base of the tower.
He saw that the area was brightly lit, with vague shadows of people moving about.
Occasionally, one or two figures emerged from the forest, heading towards the light.
After observing for a while and seeing no signs of danger, Zhao Yu finally took steps towards it..
