Halcyon flew for another half a day. Sima You Yue knew how far away the spirit beasts were, and told him that he could stop at one of the valleys.
Halcyon had been flying straight the whole way, and it could be because they had good luck but they found a valley within a few hours of flying. Furthermore, that valley happened to be one of the more spacious ones.
Sima You Yue patted his back, and he let everyone down on one of the cliffs.
"Brother Sima, why have we stopped here?" Qi Wei and the others didn't understand.
Shouldn't they take advantage of the distance between them and the spirit beasts to run even further? Why did they stop? Were they waiting for the spirit beasts to catch up?
"Running forever isn't a strategy. We'll still have to deal with the root problem." Sima You Yue climbed off Halcyon. Although the rest were hesitant, they still followed suit.
