Ten years later, aside from the Beech Tree Elder, no one knows where they currently are, including Hou Niao.
During these ten years, he has never taken flight once, and it is this attitude that the Beech Tree Elder appreciates the most; he can guess that the main reason the grand tree carries them is to prevent him from knowing the exact location of the Wood Spirit Orb.
It's somewhat like 'no three hundred taels of silver buried here', but he understands the beech tree's sentiment, as the Wood Spirit Orb is the ultimate treasure of Beimu Forest and must not be lost.
"Elder, where is the fire?" Little Mushroom and Little Tail exclaimed in surprise. Though still far away, as wood spirits, they are very sensitive to the Fire Element, which is the most against wood among the Five Elements.
Of course, the Beech Tree Elder and Hou Niao were long aware; the direction they are heading toward is precisely the direction of the mountain fire.
