The valley was much denser with foliage compared to the outside, and the terrain also extremely precipitous, thus Chu Yang and the others' pace of travel slowed down considerably.
Darkness fell quickly, and before it was completely dark, they had to find a place to spend the night.
Chu Yang looked around and spotted a stone house deep in the forest, "Is there a stone house ahead?"
"Could it be that I'm mistaken?"
Chu Yang saw between the trees ahead a faint outline of a stone house, and his first reaction was to think he had seen wrongly.
"No, there really is a stone house ahead."
"That's strange, this valley is seldom visited by people."
"Moreover, judging from the surrounding environment and the traces of our journey here, there are no signs of human activity."
"So what's the deal with the stone house?"
Chu Yang told Ma Xiaoya and Chi Yurou about the stone house he had seen.
