James had indeed managed to pick up a few tracks as he looked around, but he could tell that Gryphon was not the person who had killed the human on the other side of the forest.
The person who had passed through here must have been quite heavy, though it was easy to see that he was able to step lightly.
[A cultivator, a rather powerful one,] suddenly came a message from Nyx. Reading this message, James shook his head, wondering why this cultivator would have come here to kill someone for no reason.
The tracks were incredibly fresh...and there was no sign of them travelling outwards.
With a sudden fright, James started to run towards the mother Gryphon. After a short time, he arrived at the site and saw a man standing next to the mother Gryphon. The man was gently holding the newborn baby Gryphon and just waiting.
James instantly drew the holy sword Clarent from his inventory and then solidified his position to fight.
