The mountain forest under the night was cold and desolate, only occasionally accompanied by the cries of birds and beasts, indicating the danger there.
A colorful poison spider slowly crawled on a tree branch, aiming for a nearby bird's nest.
But before it could get close, a figure suddenly darted out from the darkness, its toe landing right on the spider.
With a soft crack, the spider was squashed.
Looking again, the figure had already blended into the forest and disappeared.
The traveler was Zhao Ya.
After settling Meng Shiwen and Zui'Er, he left the city alone, heading towards Cyan Bamboo Ridge.
He needed to first gather some intelligence, at least discern what Cyan Bamboo Ridge was planning.
His figure swiftly darted through the forest, and if not for the occasional need to press on a branch for leverage, it was almost indistinguishable from flying.
