The group nodded in agreement. It was indeed difficult to notice slight deviations in angles within the miasma.
"Let's take a rest and think of a solution," suggested Bai Li Hongzhuang. They had tried walking in circles twice without finding any clues. If they didn't come up with a way to break through the miasma, they would be trapped.
Everyone sat down in a circle, prepared for any potential danger that could arise.
"During our journey, I didn't notice anything unusual. The area where the miasma is located is relatively damp, and we left footprints behind. However, when we returned to the same spot, the footprints disappeared. It's truly bizarre!" Li Yangbing's face turned grim. He had specifically paid attention to these details, and the absence of footprints made him believe they were on the right path.
Upon hearing Li Yangbing's words, the others were taken aback. They hadn't noticed this detail before.
Now, reminded by Li Yangbing, they all looked down at the ground. Surprisingly, the footprints were still visible in their current location.
"The footprints didn't naturally vanish. Could it be that some strange creature has been following us and erasing them?" Pei Yifan widened his eyes, shivering at the thought. The idea of something lurking behind them, erasing their footprints, was terrifying.
The group exchanged puzzled glances. Throughout their journey, they hadn't detected any creatures approaching them. If that were the case, it would be incredibly frightening.
Bai Li Hongzhuang's expression changed subtly. She hadn't noticed these details before, but upon hearing Li Yangbing and Pei Yifan's discussion, something clicked in her mind.
Without saying a word, Bai Li Hongzhuang took out pen and paper and began writing and drawing, calculating silently.
The group watched her in confusion. They had expected to hear the opinions of their young mistress, but instead, she seemed absorbed in her own thoughts.
Although they were curious, no one dared to interrupt Bai Li Hongzhuang. They believed that their young mistress had discovered something important.
The three spirit beasts surrounded Bai Li Hongzhuang, observing her writing and drawing, but they couldn't comprehend its meaning.
"What is the mistress doing?" White Lion couldn't help but ask.
Little Black shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand either.
Up until now, they had only been wandering in circles within the Miasma Forest, without encountering any attacks from monsters. They couldn't possibly have made any discoveries.
Meanwhile, Bai Li Hongzhuang was racking her brain. She remembered that certain formations within the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams could cause practitioners to lose their way unknowingly.
Even if these practitioners were extremely powerful, they would still be subtly influenced by such formations.
If they couldn't decipher this formation, they would remain trapped within it, unable to find an exit.
During her second lap, Bai Li Hongzhuang had been extremely careful, yet she was still brought back to the starting point. That was already quite strange.
It was only when she heard about the disappearance of their footprints that she realized the high possibility of a formation's involvement.
Because they hadn't been walking in the same location as before, the footprints naturally couldn't be seen anymore.
