The members all widened their eyes, curiously looking at the lan shi grass.
Although they had doubts, there was no better way at the moment, so they decided to try Bai Chenxiang's suggestion.
Bai Chenxiang quickly organized her team members to carefully approach the area where the lan shi grass grew.
They cautiously parted the weeds, avoiding triggering other potential traps.
While picking the lan shi grass, Bai Chenxiang did not forget to remind everyone to protect this precious herbal resource, taking only what was needed and not over-damaging it.
Before long, the team members had collected enough lan shi grass.
Bai Chenxiang personally collected the sap of the lan shi grass and carefully applied it to the large trap net.
As the sap touched the net, a faint "sizzling" sound was heard, and everyone nervously stared at the net, expecting it to be destroyed.
However, its effect was not obvious; the net only slightly changed color and did not show any significant damage.
"Could it be that this lan shi grass also won't work?"
A team member began to worry.
Bai Chenxiang shook her head:
"Wait a little longer; the corrosive effect of the lan shi grass may take some time to fully manifest."
Her eyes were firm, giving the team members confidence.
Indeed.
After a moment, small cracks began to appear on the net.
As time went on, the cracks grew larger and larger, and finally, the net could not bear the weight and was completely destroyed.
The trapped team members escaped from the eroded hole.
"Are you all right?"
Bai Chenxiang asked with concern.
"We're fine, we're fine. Thanks to Young Sect Master, otherwise we wouldn't know how long we would have been trapped."
A team member said gratefully.
"It's good that you're fine. Everyone must be more careful; there is definitely more than one trap on this mountain."
Bai Chenxiang said.
"Young Sect Master, this suspect is too cunning. We must quickly find clues about him and not let him succeed again."
A team member said angrily.
Bai Chenxiang nodded:
"That's right, let's continue searching. But be sure to pay attention to the surrounding environment. If you find a suspicious place, test it first before going over."
Everyone continued searching on the mountain.
Every step they took was extra careful, their eyes constantly scanning the ground and trees around them.
"Young Sect Master, why do you think this suspect set up so many traps on the mountain?"
A team member asked.
Bai Chenxiang analyzed:
"Perhaps he knew we would come to the mountain to search, so he set up traps in advance, wanting to prevent us from finding clues. Or he has something important on the mountain that he doesn't want us to discover."
"Then we need to search even more carefully. Maybe we can find crucial clues."
The team member said.
"Yes, everyone, cheer up."
Bai Chenxiang encouraged.
After walking for a while, they arrived at a small hillside.
The hillside was covered with fallen leaves, looking no different from other places.
But after the trap incident just now, the team members dared not let down their guard.
"Everyone be careful, there might be traps here too."
Bai Chenxiang reminded.
The team members stopped and carefully observed the situation on the hillside.
A team member found a branch and gently poked the fallen leaves.
As soon as the branch touched the fallen leaves, they felt something moving underneath.
"There really is a trap!"
The team members exclaimed.
Bai Chenxiang frowned:
"It seems we have to go around. Everyone, pay attention. From now on, you must be careful when you encounter places covered with fallen leaves."
They carefully Around around the small hillside and continued searching forward.
Along the way.
They found several more suspected trap locations, but they successfully avoided them through cautious probing.
"Young Sect Master, there are too many traps on this mountain. If we continue searching like this, the speed will be too slow. When will we find clues?"
A team member said, somewhat tiredly.
Bai Chenxiang understood the feelings of the team members, but she knew she could not give up.
"Everyone, hold on a little longer. We will definitely find clues. The suspect set up so many traps, which shows that he cares a lot about certain things on the mountain. As long as we find these things, we can definitely find evidence and catch him."
Bai Chenxiang analyzed.
"Young Sect Master is right, we cannot give up."
Another team member said.
After walking for a while, Bai Chenxiang suddenly stopped. She squatted down and carefully observed the ground.
"There are some footprints here, they look relatively new."
She said, pointing to the footprints on the ground.
The team members gathered around, analyzing the direction and size of the footprints together.
"From the size and depth of the footprints, it is very likely that they were left by an adult male."
A team member said.
Bai Chenxiang stood up:
"Continue walking in the direction of the footprints and see if we can find more clues."
They carefully followed the footprints, and suddenly heard a strange sound.
"What's that sound?"
A team member asked nervously.
Bai Chenxiang pricked up her ears and listened carefully:
"It seems to be coming from over there. And the footprints are also heading in that direction."
"Young Sect Master, should we go and take a look?"
A member asked.
Bai Chenxiang thought for a moment:
"We have to go, and be extremely careful! It's possible that the spy is in there!"
Hearing Bai Chenxiang's reminder, everyone's spirits became highly tense.
They gripped their weapons tightly, carefully observing every rustle in the surroundings.
They followed the direction of the sound and found a small cave.
The sound was coming from inside the cave.
"Young Sect Master, should we go in and take a look?" a team member asked.
Bai Chenxiang hesitated for a moment and said:
"Be careful, there might be danger."
They carefully walked into the cave. The cave was a bit dark and damp, emitting a faint musty smell.
The sound became clearer and clearer, as if someone was hitting something.
"Someone's inside!"
A team member whispered cautiously.
Bai Chenxiang made a shushing gesture, signaling the team members to proceed carefully.
They slowly approached the source of the sound and found a figure.
"Who is it?"
Bai Chenxiang asked sharply, her voice echoing in the silent mountain forest, carrying vigilance and authority.
The figure in the cave turned around and it turned out to be a ragged old man.
When the old man saw them, a look of fear appeared on his face.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
The old man picked up a long hunting fork beside him and asked tremblingly.
Bai Chenxiang said in a stern tone:
"I am Bai Chenxiang, the Young Sect Master of the Speed Clan, and these are members of our Speed Clan, not bad people. Who are you? Why are you in this mountain forest?"
The old man breathed a sigh of relief, but still said cautiously:
"I am a hunter who lives on the mountain. Recently, many strange things have appeared on the mountain, and I don't dare to go down the mountain anymore."
His voice was hoarse and low, with a hint of fear and unease.
Bai Chenxiang frowned and pressed on:
"Strange things? What strange things?"
