After a day of hard training yesterday, the group moved much faster today, and three hours later, Ruan Shengnan halted.
Luo Hongchen asked, "It's not even noon yet, why have we stopped?"
Ruan Shengnan pointed ahead, "That area is not easy to cross, we need to figure out a way."
Luo Hongchen followed Ruan Shengnan's gaze, and saw the landscape ahead open up with an area about thirty meters wide, where the ground was covered with wild grass and some low shrubs, but no tall trees.
At first glance, nothing seemed unusual, and Luo Hongchen couldn't understand why Ruan Shengnan had stopped.
"Just watch," Ruan Shengnan found a long stick and poked the ground in the area without trees. The stick, almost two meters long, was jabbed into the ground and sank deep with ease.
When Ruan Shengnan pulled the stick out, it was covered with mud.
