"What should we do next?" asked Lin Yue.
Shen Jingqi pondered for a moment and said, "Since the Ghost said the key is hidden in three different places, let's start by looking at the first location. But we need to be fully prepared; we don't know what kind of Guardian we'll be facing there."
They began searching for clues in the surroundings, hoping to find the way to the first place where the key was hidden. Suddenly, Lin Yue discovered a strange set of footprints on the ground, large and unusually shaped, not like human footprints.
"Shen Jingqi, look!" Lin Yue pointed at the footprints, her voice carrying a hint of excitement.
Shen Jingqi crouched down and examined the footprints closely. They were deep, suggesting that the creature that left them was very heavy. Moreover, the direction seemed to point toward a small path ahead.
"These may be the Guardian's footprints. If we follow them, we might find the first hidden key location," Shen Jingqi said.
