Stove blinked, completely confused, then shook his body, indicating that they didn't come back. He has been here the whole time, but no one came back!
Rong Ye's grip tightened for a second before he let go, his tails lashing behind him in frustration. Han Jue's expression darkened too.
"They didn't return… and their scent disappeared in the forest."
Rong Ye looked toward Han Jue, his eyes filled with rising panic. "Then that means…"
Han Jue nodded grimly. "They're in danger."
Rong Ye didn't waste a moment. He turned to Stove. "You're coming with us!"
"Huh?"
"Now!" Han Jue barked, already leaping toward the forest entrance again.
Stove hesitated only for a moment before wrapping himself around Rong Ye's leg.
Rong Ye, Han Jue, and Stove ran side by side, their breaths harsh, their bodies tense as they followed the faint trail left behind by Su Qinglan and Hu Yan.
