The search was troublesome. These experts were systematically scanning the ground and forest that was located beneath the mountain on which they had found refuge.
There were experts split into groups; some were moving on the ground, traversing the forest from beneath, while a small group was patrolling the skies on flying Fierce Beasts.
They were combing through the area with meticulous care, and Xue Wei gritted his teeth and felt uncomfortable.
He knew nothing of Hei Gou's change – that he now had wings and was capable of flying at lightning speed – as he had been unconscious when they escaped Lingyun Town.
"I need to save my newfound brother," Xue Wei mumbled to himself as he looked at Hei Gou with worried eyes.
Hei Gou was in a deep sleep. His eyes were closed, and his breathing was steady. When Xue Wei looked at Hei Gou, he was reminded of the black lines under his eyes and how his body had seemed incredibly feeble the moment that Xue Wei had awakened.
