"Let's look around here and see if there are any clues left!" Chen Feng said in a low voice.
"That's an idea!" Tong Gaozhuo nodded and said calmly, "Let's split up for now and look around. Maybe we'll find some clues."
"Okay." The other three elders looked at each other and nodded.
Obviously, at this moment, even if Chen Feng has the leader's token, his status is still not as good as Tong Gaozhuo.
Soon, the four of them dispersed and started to explore the surrounding areas with the bloodstain on the ground as the center.
Chen Feng walked lightly and searched slowly towards a place. However, he was more alert in his heart. At this moment, the five of them separated, which was the best time to kill him.
Sure enough, Chen Feng's ears moved and he clearly heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from behind him.
If Chen Feng had not just made some progress in practicing the Tianling Po Ri Dafa, allowing his immortal consciousness to reach the peak of human immortality, Chen Feng might not have been able to discover it.
The man was getting closer and closer, causing Chen Feng's body to tense up all of a sudden. However, he was wearing loose clothes, so it was not noticeable at all.
Just when Chen Feng wanted to turn around and take the initiative, the person approaching behind him spoke up: "Chen Feng, we found some clues."
Hearing this person's voice, Chen Feng determined his identity. This person was Shang Hanhai, the weakest among the four elders.
"Oh? Really?" A smile appeared on Chen Feng's face: "Let's go and have a look!"
Although he said so, Chen Feng was still secretly on guard. Since he couldn't tell which of the four people was going to harm him, Chen Feng could only be more careful about everyone.
After all, the sneak attack of a late Earth Immortal was extremely terrifying. Although Chen Feng showed great strength, relying on the attribute swordsmanship and fusion sword energy, he could compete with the peak Earth Immortals, but if he was attacked unexpectedly by a late Earth Immortal or above, he would lose half his life even if he didn't die.
After a while, Chen Feng arrived at the place Shang Hanhai mentioned.
From here, a row of faint footprints stretched far away. Around the footprints, there were a few drops of blood, which extended all the way to the depths of the dense forest.
"If I'm right, these footprints should have been made by human monks." Tong Gaozhuo said slowly, "The location of the footprints and the bloodstains do not match. The bloodstains should not be from the person who left the footprints. Instead, it seems that the bleeding person was casually carried on someone's shoulder and walked in this direction."
Chen Feng listened and secretly admired him. This Tong Gaozhuo was indeed extraordinary. He could see the big picture from the small details and guessed the matter to this extent based on a little bloodstain.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's follow the footprints and take a look!" Xu Yi couldn't help but urge.
"Chen Feng, you have the leader's token. Although the four of us are elders, we still have to listen to your decision." Tong Gaozhuo whispered to Chen Feng.
"Of course we have to go and take a look!" Chen Feng nodded and said in a deep voice: "This matter concerns the disciples of my Baiyun Villa. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we cannot give up."
"That makes sense, Chen Feng. I'm glad you think so!" Xu Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter, looking very generous: "It seems that the owner of the manor was right about you. You are really very responsible."
"Elder Xu, you are joking." Chen Feng smiled slightly, revealing a humble smile.
Afterwards, the group followed the footprints and bloodstains.
However, the deeper they went into the cold wind forest, the fainter the footprints and bloodstains on the ground became, and in the end they simply disappeared.
"The clue is gone, what should we do?" Xu Yi scratched his scalp and said angrily.
"Don't worry, Elder Xu." Tong Gaozhuo laughed and said, "I have my own way to track things like this.
He clapped his hands and immediately released a black-brown bee.
"Is this a tracking bee?" The other three elders were all stunned, and then shouted, "I heard that the tracking bee has a natural ability, which is to find. As long as it gets a hair of the person it needs to find, it can find the person's location in the shortest time. I didn't expect Elder Tong to have such a treasure."
"Haha, I was just lucky and caught it by chance." Tong Gaozhuo smiled cheerfully: "With the Trace Bee here, we will definitely be able to find the exact location."
As he spoke, Tong Gaozhuo pinched his fingers and picked up a piece of soil. On the soil, there happened to be a drop of bright red.
The bee fluttered its black wings and buzzed around in the drop of blood.
After a while, the tracking bee flew away from the embryonic soil and flew rapidly in a certain direction.
In terms of speed, the five people present were no weaklings. They all spread out their bodies and chased after the tracking bee.
The tracking bee had been circling around and around, and no one knew what kind of big circle it had led everyone to fight in. If we were to search on our own, we would probably not be able to find this place by nightfall.
This was a simple stone house, probably the temporary place where the trial disciples stayed. However, at this moment, the stone house was surrounded by shadowy figures.
These figures were covered in hair, their clothes were tattered, and two fangs protruded from their lips, flashing a faint cold light. At this moment, they stood side by side around the stone house, like a team of guarding soldiers, guarding the stone house with due diligence.
"It's a zombie indeed!" Chen Feng's eyes turned cold, and a look of fear appeared on his face.
Looking from afar, Chen Feng could sense that the zombies around the stone house were not weaker than Earth Immortals, and most of them were at or above the late stage of Earth Immortals. Among them, there were two powerful auras, which were at the peak of Earth Immortals.
As for the zombies in the celestial realm, Chen Feng did not see any.
"Zombies are sucking blood. It seems that the disciples who were training in the Cold Wind Forest must have been killed by these zombies." Xu Yi said indignantly, "Everyone, how about we kill them together and slay the demons?"
"Wait!" Tong Gaozhuo suddenly shouted coldly, "If you want to die, go down by yourself!"
Xu Yi said with a puzzled look on his face: "It's just a bunch of zombies, Elder Tong, are you scared?"
"Yes, I am afraid!" Tong Gaozhuo nodded, but there was no embarrassment in his eyes. He pointed to the location of the stone house and said, "Look for yourself, what is the difference between the environment around the stone house and other places?"
"What's the difference?" Xu Yi muttered, but his eyes looked at the stone house more carefully.
At the same time, Chen Feng and several other elders also cast their eyes around the stone house.
"Huh?" Chen Feng quickly discovered something unusual.
The rain in the cold wind forest was abundant, so it should be extremely humid. However, the mud around the stone house was extremely dry, and the ground was cracked like the pattern on the back of a tortoise.
"Zombie guards, and the surroundings are extremely dry. I seem to have seen such a phenomenon in that book." Chen Feng tried hard to recall.
Suddenly, Chen Feng's eyes suddenly became stern, and he couldn't help but shout out: "Is there the legendary drought demon in that stone house?"
