Inside the forest, mist pervaded the air. Although Qin Shi was carrying Nie Qing on his back, his speed was not slower than anyone else's.
Moreover, for the past two days, Qin Shi had been catching some wild game in the area, becoming quite familiar with the terrain, and thus took on the responsibility of paving the way.
The few people trailing behind only needed to follow, making the journey rather easy.
Even though they had heard Ling Shuangshuang mention Qin Shi's formidable skills, they had never witnessed it firsthand. Now seeing Qin Shi move effortlessly within the dense forest, they had no more doubts.
Suddenly, Qin Shi, who was at the forefront, stopped.
"What's wrong?" Ling Shuangshuang, who was following closely, asked puzzledly.
Qin Shi hushed them with a hand gesture, indicating not to make a sound.
The group felt suspicious but held their breath nonetheless.
Nie Qing, on Qin Shi's back, was puzzled too, gazing forward but finding nothing.
