A few hours later, everyone had fully recovered, and Gu Sheng’s divine power returned to its peak.
As everyone gathered their attention again, Gu Sheng pointed to the pattern on the ground.
"The place I drew is exactly where the goblin is, everything began because of him, and it’s time to solve it now."
Everyone looked at the pattern on the ground and quickly committed it to memory.
"Brother Sheng, considering the terrain, the goblin’s mountain in the east shouldn’t be an exit. Should we split up?"
After some thought, Gu Sheng shook his head.
"We don’t know his strength yet, rushing in could be reckless. Let’s first head to one exit, set up the Array, then proceed to the other exit together to force him out."
"Alright, we’ll all follow Brother Sheng!"
Gu Sheng waved his hand, and everyone followed him forward.
After a day’s journey, they finally reached the foot of Bitter Mountain.
A slight use of power, and Gu Sheng sensed the goblin’s location.
The goblin had occupied this place and was no longer restraining his aura; instead, it spread outward, quite arrogantly.
"Brother Sheng, the goblin’s aura is strong. We should proceed with caution."
After Shi Lou spoke, Gu Sheng looked up at the cave’s location, then calmly said, "Not necessarily."
Hearing this, Shi Lou was puzzled.
The goblin’s aura was so strong that they could all feel it. Why did Gu Sheng say otherwise?
"Brother Sheng, are you saying the goblin’s strength might not be that strong?"
"Yes, the aura you feel is just what the goblin wants you to sense. A strong aura here doesn’t necessarily mean the goblin is equally strong. This aura might be a tactic of false bravado."
These words dispelled Shi Lou’s doubts.
Gu Sheng didn’t say more. After following the goblin’s aura to find another hidden cave entrance, they went directly there.
Amidst the forest, they wandered back and forth for a long time, but they still couldn’t find the exact location of the cave entrance.
Repeatedly, they sensed the goblin’s aura but struggled to pinpoint it precisely.
As dusk approached, Huang Shan became anxious.
"Brother Sheng, we can clearly feel the entrance here. Why can’t we see it?"
"Yes, we’ve turned over the grass here, only to feel the aura but can’t see the entrance."
As everyone spoke up, Gu Sheng’s gaze suddenly fixed on a spot.
The others sensed this and followed his line of sight, when he summoned the small tripod, flicked his fingers, and the small tripod flew out immediately.
Soon, the small tripod landed on a high spot.
To avoid alerting the enemy, the small tripod emitted no aura and buzzed as it spun.
After a long while, the small tripod suddenly ascended again, faintly glowing red.
Feeling the small tripod’s reaction, Gu Sheng immediately had everyone retreat.
Once everyone was in a safe zone, the red glow on the small tripod suddenly burst forth! But in just an instant, the red glow vanished rapidly.
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed the strong appearance of the red light; its speed was so fast it was hard to catch even with a blink.
While still astonished by the red glow, Gu Sheng called out to them.
