Amon landed in a cave. This cave expanded further away in both directions.
He chose to traverse underground because there was no mist down here. Hence, fewer ambushes. There were still spirit beasts that could burrow in the ground, like the wide-face beast that had dragged Chang Gu away. Nevertheless, those spirit beasts would make noises before attacking. It was better than being up there, where the mists blocked all visibility.
"Hm…" Amon turned to the remaining three who followed him into the cave. His cultivation sense could sense Xou Liang, who stood closest to him, but he could not sense Xin Wa and Zhan An, who stood further away. He understood then that it was not the mists that blocked their cultivation senses. Their cultivation senses were dulled simply by being in this area, whether there were mists or not.
