The process of pursuing the bandits was going very smoothly. After spending more than two hours, on the edge of a Stone Bamboo Forest, Richard finally caught up with these abducted Subterranean Natives.
The geographical environment here was quite good. The stone bamboos were as tall as five or six people. Pulsing red light glowed from within them, as if they were hollow and contained underground fires that vented into the enclosed space. This red light provided a certain level of illumination for the surrounding area.
Soft volcanic ash meant the multi-footed giant horse could gallop with very little noise. Combined with the surrounding darkness, Richard and his team weren't discovered until they had come within two hundred yards.
