Chapter 893 - 871: Finding the Place
The forest was tough to navigate, and Zhou SiLang was not familiar with the path. Relying solely on Zhou Hu’s spoken instructions to find their way inevitably led them to get lost, not to mention it was difficult to discern directions and confirm locations within the woodland.
It took them the better part of the next day wandering around before they finally found the place, and by the time they did, the sun was almost setting.
Zhou SiLang stood at the base of a tall tree, looking up at the rugged cliff face ahead. Then he started clearing away the vines that were entwined around a large, relatively flat rock and asked, "Brother Zhou Hu said when they got lost here, they drew a big tiger on a rock with stones. Do you think it could be this one?"
Bai Erlang said, "After so many years, can the drawing still be visible?"
"It should be," Zhou SiLang was not too certain, "It was scratched with a stone, the marks were deep."
Bai Shan stepped forward to help clear the vines, speaking casually, "There should be some traces left. Even if the tiger can’t be made out, with marks that deep, if there’s any sign of stone scraping, it’s likely their doing."
No sooner had he finished speaking than they saw several shallow scrapes beneath the vines they had cleared, seemingly washed over by rainwater, many traces no longer discernible. Yet it was clear these markings had been made by a person.
Zhou SiLang happily slapped the rock, excitedly saying, "This is the place, no doubt about it."
He boasted, "I’m pretty awesome, huh? I’ve never been here before, and only got lost once before finding it."
Manbao also excitedly gave Zhou SiLang a thumbs-up, "Brother Si, you’re really amazing. Let’s start searching now then."
Internally, Manbao communicated with Keke, "Keke, quickly help me see if it’s here."
