The night had passed like this, and as dawn was breaking, the Earl led his people down the mountain. After yesterday's danger, the Earl held his Magic Wand, and as they were exiting the cave, he chanted a Curse.
He transformed everything around them into Huangjing, so even if there were people outside, they couldn't see them.
He then sealed the original cave entrance with an Illusion Realm. After doing so, they cautiously made their way out of the place and walked through the deep mountains to descend.
At dawn, the Fox Demon suddenly felt a trace of its Qi lingering there, sensing the presence of humans.
By the time it rushed over, it could only smell a trace of burnt Qi, but saw no one.
It followed this wisp of Qi, and while tracking it, discovered that it had already reached around the perimeter of the deep mountains outside. It stopped in its tracks.
Since being hunted by its enemies, it had not ventured outside for a long time.
