The person who quietly left the camp in the middle of the night was none other than Chu Lingkong.
What could he be up to, leaving suddenly in the dead of night?
Shi Hao believed that his tactic of startling the snake by hitting the grass had been successful.
—If there were no snakes in the grass, naturally there would be no movement, but once startled, there must be something amiss.
Chu Lingkong moved quickly, concealed by the darkness of night, making it very difficult to spot him, and even if someone were to follow him, it was all too easy to lose track of him.
One couldn't follow too closely, or they would surely be detected, and maintaining distance without losing sight of the person in such poor visibility was a truly great difficulty.
Fortunately, not only was Shi Hao's speed not slower than Chu Lingkong's, but he also possessed Yuan Chengmie's experience, along with a unique set of tracking skills.
Most importantly, Chu Lingkong hadn't gone too far.
