After finishing off that giant deer, Tang Ye and Ah Fu continued forward. When they reached the hillside, sure enough, as before, the giant tree stood before them, while the surrounding forest was veiled in fog.
Tang Ye felt something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint it. It was as if his mind was devoid of any thoughts during the journey, yet that couldn't be right either. He felt like there were vague underlying thoughts in his mind that he couldn't grasp.
How bizarre.
Tang Ye's face turned sour — he realized he seemed trapped here. Could Xu Haishui and the Pseudo-Dragon be trapped here as well?
He tried to transmit his location to Xu Haishui through his mind, in hopes he would come find him. Xu Haishui and Ah Fu, like him, had formed a type of connection resembling a "contract scroll" - with him being the master and them being the servants.
This "contract" had a unique ability - each party could sense the other's location.
