Ka Ji Was Moved

"Ka Ji, what did you find?"

The sensory experience naturally did not escape Linsey's notice.

He asked the question, and Ka Ji immediately turned around and reported to Linsey in a bitter tone:

"Lord Di Ya Bo Luo, I can still track their movements up to this point. However... I wonder if it's just a coincidence? About a day ago, another person's scent also appeared from here, and the route they took was the same one that followed them!"

"..."

"Are there other people tracking Mu Le Na Hu En and Han Si Ke?"

Upon hearing this news, Linsey frowned.

There have been many adventurers active in the Echo Tunnel, and they haven't disappeared yet. It's not impossible that their exploration activities happened to overlap with Mu Le Na Hu En's group's route.

But at times like these, when faced with this problem...

Linsey couldn't afford to be careless. "Ka Ji, can you confirm the other person's identity?"

The perceiver naturally dared not take Linsey's request lightly.

Upon hearing the question, he immediately focused intently, trying to discern the scents in the air.

With the support of a large amount of Essence.

His skill was so keen that he could even distinguish the moisture in the air at different times.

It was under the ultimate operation of this skill.

It took Ka Ji four or five minutes to finally catch a faint, almost imperceptible scent.

"A horse! It smells like a horse!"

The Perceiver looked at Linsey with excitement:

"Sir, I can smell it! There's a faint horse scent on the other person's clothes. This scent didn't linger for long; this person must have spent a lot of time with horses!"

Linsey shook her head with a wry smile:

"This hardly qualifies as a clue."

Ka Ji's face stiffened with excitement, and then he slumped down.

Linsey is right.

Horses are among the most common mounts in the world.

Even though the Courtyard in the Forest isn't suitable for raising horses, immigrants often bring them with them. Therefore, both awakened individuals and ordinary people are likely to have prolonged contact with them, let alone determine their profession.

This is certainly not a reliable or effective lead.

Ka Ji murmured softly:

"I... I've done my best."

Linsey knew she couldn't just suppress her opponent, so she patted Ka Ji on the shoulder reassuringly:

"It's okay, I know you did your best, keep going."

"Just let me know as soon as you discover anything else."

"..."

Ka Ji nodded slightly, and the two continued to follow the scent.

The Echo Tunnel was pitch black and devoid of sunlight.

It can even decrease people's sensitivity to time.

About three or four hours later, there were no other adventurers left in the vicinity.

Ka Ji followed the smell in the tunnel.

They led Linsey to a naturally formed underground fissure.

Right here.

The perceiver appeared completely at a loss for what to do for the first time.

He had followed the target's scent all the way here, and there was even a trace of the target's scent in the air behind him. But right in front of this underground fissure, the scent suddenly disappeared.

It was as if the target they were tracking had simply disappeared into the rocks! Ka Ji cried out in his heart—it's alright if you guys run away, but losing track of me is a death sentence! The perceiver was filled with immense terror.

But after what he had experienced before, he dared not lie to Linsey, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:

"Lord Di Ya Bo Luo...!"

Ka Ji turned his head and nervously pointed to the underground crevice in front of him:

"Their smells..."

"It just disappeared... it got here!"

After the perceiver finished speaking, he closed his eyes, fearing that what followed was the final chapter of his fate.

If I really die here.

I'm afraid no one will even come to collect his body; he'll just lie there forever in the dark underground, decaying alongside other skeletons!

Ka Ji was terrified.

But what he heard next was not Linsey's blame or judgment.

"It's okay, this isn't your problem."

"They did come here, and they left some traces that you can't see."

"..."

"?"

When Ka Ji opened his eyes, he found that Linsey was not paying any attention to him at all; instead, her attention was on the surrounding walls.

In fact, in Linsey's field of vision, there were some faint Essence remaining at this moment.

Ka Ji was ultimately just a Fourth Stage perceiver, whose senses were exceptionally refined.

However, it is not sensitive to some subtle changes in the Essence.

At this moment, Linsey started the [Decryption Game] and discovered the traces distributed around her.

Especially this seemingly naturally formed underground fissure.

Its own light flashed out abruptly, clearly evidence left behind from the previous battles or chases among the awakened ones! "The Organizer? Law Knight?"

Linsey murmured softly.

With two powerful beings at the Seventh Stage, either one could have caused the scene before them.

After Linsey touched the stone wall and carefully sensed the traces left on it, a situation that left him speechless arose.

"Is this... Value Manipulation by businessmen?"

Linsey was extremely familiar with this Essence.

Not long ago, he had witnessed the battle of a Sixth Stage merchant, whose dropped Source Material Core was even lying in his bag.

Before a merchant runs out of money, his skills can be useful in almost every aspect of life.

Was this crack the work of a businessman?

"Was there also a merchant who tracked Mu Le Na Hu En and his group here?"

Thinking of this, Linsey had a bad feeling.

He immediately pulled up the map, finding no living people within a hundred meters. He then expanded his search area and finally spotted two markers Linsey, about four or five hundred meters away.

The markers are one green and one yellow.

This combination is neither abrupt nor anything special.

But that's the problem.

The two were in an underground cave, but the cave itself was completely sealed off and had no connection with the surrounding tunnels!

"Won't you suffocate like that?"

Linsey pondered the other person's identity.

Mu Le Na Hu En was a complete stranger to him, and the businessman's attitude towards him was mostly hostile.

Then you'll find friendly people here.

The Law Knight Han Si Ke, whom you could only have met once in Lookout Point City!

At the same time, Ka Ji leaned over and asked Linsey:

"Lord Di Ya Bo Luo, what are you saying?"

Linsey turned her head and stared intently at the other person.

Only when Ka Ji was already panicked and restless did he take out a [Hardwood Seed] from his bag and hand it to the other person. "Ka Ji, take this seed."

"Remember the Thorn I threw at Fuerzi?"

"If you encounter danger, throw this seed on the ground, and it will grow automatically and quickly reproduce into that poisonous Thorn."

"..."

"I... I..."

The person who perceived the emotion was speechless for a moment, their heart filled with emotion.

It was obvious that Linsey gave him the seed so that Ka Ji could use it to protect himself.

The perceiver is very clear about the relationship between the two.

The fact that Linsey is now able to hand over such a valuable item to me can only mean that her opinion of me has changed drastically since the beginning.

Ka Ji accepted the seeds and excitedly wanted to express his loyalty to Linsey.

But before he could say anything...

Then he saw Linsey suddenly pull out a Pickaxe and hand it straight to him.

"Ah?"

Ka Ji was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.

Linsey pointed to the ground beneath their feet and instructed in a calm tone, "Now take this and start digging."
