As evening approached, the exploration team led by Ye Jinghong also made it back to Black Moon Camp before nightfall.
The exploration teams of this era were constrained by all kinds of conditions, and generally couldn't travel very far.
On top of that, the round trip took time. In a whole day, they actually couldn't explore much territory.
Even so, Ye Jinghong's efficiency still left Zhou Xu satisfied. According to the latest report, they had more or less explored a third of the area encircling the outskirts of their camp.

At the same time, he used the moderate expenditure to train his own True Word power.
Once he had used up nearly all his strength, he returned to his tent and went to sleep. The day was over.
