Alex didn't have a compass, nor did he have the night sky to help him know exactly which direction he was going towards.
'How do I tell the direction exactly?' he thought. He had been flying for an hour towards where he assumed was the caravan, but he saw nothing.
"Hmm… what should I do?" he wondered. "Compass… something that can tell me the direction… Ah, maybe I can find those," he thought and immediately lowered his boat down towards the ground.
He then spread out his spiritual sense on the forest below, looking for something.
At first, it didn't seem like he would find it any time soon, but then after a dozen or so minutes, he found one and quickly released his Qi from the boat and stopped it.
"Well, I wanted a sunflower, but that helps too I guess," he thought and jumped down from the boat.
Alex landed next to a small patch of grass where he saw a few yellow flowers blooming.
