Quickly, Chi Zaozao's figure disappeared in front of Ye Que.
Because he had to take care of the other three female students, Ye Que slowed down, and this allowed Chi Zaozao to slip out of his sight.
"Chi Zaozao..."
Ye Que called out, but the response was only the echo from the valley.
He inexplicably started to worry and called out again, straining his throat, "Zaozao..."
The reply was still an echo. Frustrated, Ye Que took out his cell phone, but alas, there was no signal in the mountains.
He angrily put his phone away and turned to address the other three female students, "All three of you go back the way we came, don't run off anywhere else. If you get lost and can't find your way back, you'll make everyone worry."
The female students looked at Ye Que fearfully, "What about you, Professor Ye? Aren't you going to lead us back?"
"I have to go ahead and look for Chi Zaozao. Listen to me and head back the way we came!"
