After the departure of the bandits, no one was in the mood to continue celebrating. Wu Ling insisted that everyone sleep and get rest while he stayed awake to keep an ear out for the bandits. Without either a formation from Fang Lin or his alarm bullfrogs to alert the group, sharp senses would have to serve as the only early warning they would receive.
Thankfully, the night passed peacefully. Hou returned with the location of the bandit camp, more than two hours of hiking away from the group, and when the Golden Crow returned to observe their camp the next day, he came back with word of the bandits moving further east, expanding their search for the elusive 'Sister Vixen.'
