Yu Su climbed to a high point and gazed towards the east.
As expected, he saw the towering figure of Deer God Mountain. His speculation was correct.
However, he wondered how long it would take to walk from here to Deer God Mountain.
Yu Su estimated, considering his current stage of Qi cultivation, it would take about an hour, while an ordinary person might need around three hours.
Of course, the main reason was the need to traverse mountains and hills.
If it's possible to open a route from Deer God Mountain to here, ordinary people wouldn't need an hour to arrive.
[Opening a mountain road is not a simple task.]The all-encompassing sprite commented after knowing his intentions.
Yu Su: "It's not simple for ordinary people, but for those with cultivation, it's not that difficult. However, the specific method to open this road needs further consideration."
At least, he had to discuss it with Qing Ze; otherwise, there was no way to pass through the misty forest.
Seeing the sun setting, worried that the village chief and others might be concerned, Yu Su and Lu Yan returned the same way to the side of the pool.
As they emerged from the water, they saw Yu Mang and others also in the water, searching for them.
Upon seeing Yu Su and Lu Yan coming out, they all breathed a sigh of relief and quickly swam back to the shore.
"Brother Yu Su, where did you swim to? You scared us."
"We found a cave in the depths of the pool and went to check it out. It leads to Deer God Mountain."
"What? It leads to Deer God Mountain? Can we come from Deer God Mountain to here?"
Yu Su: "It takes about three... one and a half hours from Deer God Mountain. When we go back, we'll see if we can pass through from there. If possible, we won't have to take a big detour."
"Great, great! That's wonderful!" The village chief was very pleased.
"To come from Deer God Mountain, do we have to pass through the misty forest? Would the Mountain God agree?" Yu Feng asked.
Yu Su dried his animal skin skirt and said, "I'll ask it when we go back."
If Qing Ze agreed, this matter would be much easier to handle.

The next morning, the team packed up and set off again.
When they left, the Black Bear King whimpered lowly, as if reluctant to let Yu Su leave.
Yu Su patted its head, letting it guard the salt spring valley obediently. He would come back.
Even though others had witnessed the Black Bear King's docile behavior in front of Yu Su, they still found it unbelievable.
Especially the witch doctor; his mood was incredibly complex.
When he was in the Salt Village, he wanted to escape, but the members of the hunting team kept a close eye on him, and he couldn't find an opportunity.
On this journey, he also wanted to leave, but Yu Feng's group had sharp ears, and any slight movement he made was detected. As a result, he still hadn't successfully escaped.
Last night, he did find an opportunity. He wanted to slip away quietly while Yu Feng and others were meditating. However, unexpectedly, that cursed bear discovered him and broke one of his ribs with a swipe. Now, his breathing was painful!
Thinking about this, the witch doctor felt that his breath was getting more and more difficult, and the world in front of him was getting darker.
"Let's go, Great Witch Doctor. Don't tell me you still want someone to carry you?" The hunting team member in charge of watching him urged with a somewhat mocking tone.
The witch doctor had never suffered such humiliation before, and he felt his vision darken even more.
However, he had disciples like Yu Li serving him before. Now, Yu Li wished he could stay far away from him, which meant he had no one to assist him. Combined with the miserable life he had been living recently, he looked as if he had aged more than ten years.
