Chapter 1358: Chapter 1359: Something’s Not Right

After running in the direction indicated by the map for two more hours, it had become completely dark. From a distance, she could see the lights of the neighboring army’s encampment.

Starting a fire here was impossible, as it would be too easily discovered.

Chiang Xiao had traveled all the way here, endured a bumpy ride for over two hours, and then, without stopping, ran for three hours straight. If she had been a regular person, she would have collapsed long ago, but she had Spiritual Spring Water. Drinking a few sips of the undiluted spring water from time to time, she could maintain her physical strength in the best condition.

However, fatigue of the heart and spirit was inevitable.

Fortunately, she had Space.

She entered Space, cooked a pot of meat porridge, ate it, took a bath, changed her sweaty clothes, and then left Space to continue running towards her destination.

The underground river had an entrance, which had been disclosed by that group of people.

Meng Xinian had marked that entrance.

She was now looking for that entrance.

Under the dense night, running through the mountains and forests would be much slower without light, and because she was looking for the entrance, Chiang Xiao took out her flashlight, searching while cautiously observing her surroundings.

Yang Zhiqi had said that because they needed the neighboring army’s help to search for people, they had told them about this entrance.

It wasn’t long before Chiang Xiao also found traces of someone having passed by.

There were disordered footprints on the ground and many signs of grass being trampled.

It appeared that the neighboring army had indeed been to this place?

Since that was the case, finding Tyrant Meng and his group shouldn’t be so difficult, so why had they found nothing after four days of searching?

Just as Chiang Xiao was about to move forward, she suddenly saw a beam of light sweeping over, and her heart skipped a beat. She immediately dashed back into Space.

Shortly after, she saw a group of six soldiers from the neighboring army walking by.

She did not understand what they were saying, but they were cursing and someone kicked around in the surrounding bushes, guessing they had seen the light from her flashlight but had not seen it clearly.

Were they still deploying soldiers here? Weren’t they searching for people?

Chiang Xiao turned off her flashlight, and after they walked away, she left Space again and silently ran further up towards a dip in the front hills.

The hill dips looked as if they had been split by several cuts, each crevice resembling a dark door, looking eerily frightening.

Especially in such a night.

Meng Xinian had said that the third cave was the entry point.

Chiang Xiao carefully sneaked up to the mouth of the third cave and peered inside.

It was pitch dark, and she couldn’t see anything, but there was a faint breeze blowing out from inside, carrying a hint of moisture.

If it was indeed an underground river, then the presence of moisture was expected.

Chiang Xiao remembered what Meng Xinian had once said to her—that if he went to an unknown yet potentially dangerous place, he would leave a mark.

It wasn’t convenient to take out her flashlight again here, so she meticulously searched around the cave entrance.

But she felt over the entire accessible area of the cave entrance and could not find any marks left by Meng Xinian.

Chiang Xiao thought for a moment, then dashed back into Space and carefully observed the several cave entrances from there.

If she were Meng Xinian, would she really enter through the cave entrance specified by the others?

The people, who had been caught by Meng Xinian, might hold a grudge against him and might have deliberately pointed him to a dangerous path. With Meng Xinian’s cautious and meticulous nature, perhaps he realized something was off?

Chiang Xiao sat in Space, carefully observing the several cave entrances.

Meng Xinian must have come here.

Whether what they said was true or false, he had to explore himself to know.
