As Jiang Wang rushed forward, Qing Jiu Ye had just awakened from his stupor.
Without time for hindsight fears, he sprang up immediately, drew his bow, and prepared to shoot.
He displayed good combat awareness.
But the Hidden Snake King, after only circling the tree once, had already vanished from sight.
Even with his keen eyesight that easily captured the vital points of flying birds and running beasts, he couldn't see any flaws now.
The arrow was on the string, but he didn't know where to shoot.
Meanwhile, Jiang Wang's mad rush was closing in.
Without any hesitation, his left index finger again summoned the smoke-like grass representing 'Longing.'
The smoke-like grass spun in place, pointing nowhere in particular.
The Hidden Snake King's ability to hide was simply beyond the detection of this level of 'Longing.'
However, Jiang Wang decisively swung out his longsword, cutting decisively into what appeared to be a "branch."
He had found it!
