This tracking went on for the better part of the night.
All the way, Suming didn't dare to get too close, lest the other party discover him, so he had Er Gouzi, the smallest of them, tail them, while he himself, together with Haidong Qing and Huiya, followed from over a hundred meters behind;
He also gave instructions to the two Diamond Parrots, telling them not to shiver anymore to avoid irritating Mr. Qian in a temper, in case he really snapped at them, which would be tragic.
Even Suming himself couldn't stand the parrots' foul mouths at times, feeling like strangling the nuisances, let alone the thieves.
The poaching team was clearly well-trained, carrying various types of equipment and moving at a fast pace along the stream deep into the mountains, until they stopped in front of a large pool around ten o'clock the next morning.
