"See? I told you you were overthinking it."
"No, there's nothing. Not a thing, not even a hair... Wait, there is a hair."
"Da Huang, are you getting old? Since when did you start shedding?"
"Go to hell! That's not my hair."
"Then... whose is it?"
Chen Changan and the others had searched for ages, scouring the entire city, but hadn't found a thing. It was nothing but a desolate, dead city. Not a single living creature was anywhere to be found.
But suddenly, Da Huang and Zhang San Pao's exchange left everyone stunned.
A hair?
How could there be a hair here?
So Chen Changan and the others gathered around the hair on the ground and began examining it.
"It's about the length of a human hair."
"But the color doesn't look right."
"Yeah, the texture doesn't seem right either. It looks more like the fur of some kind of creature."
"But weren't there no creatures here? How could a hair have appeared?"
"Strange. Very strange. Could this hair have been left here a long time ago?"
"But what kind of creature did it come from?"
"Big Brother, don't you have the Blood Guiding Technique and the Spirit Guiding Technique? Could there be some kind of aura on this hair? Let's try!"
At Da Huang's suggestion, Chen Changan nodded. There was no way to extract a bloodline from the hair, but if it carried an aura, the Spirit Guiding Technique could still be useful.
With that in mind, Chen Changan simply cast the Spirit Guiding Technique.
"It worked!"
"It really worked!"
The Spirit Guiding Technique had worked, but the glowing point that showed the direction hovered in place without moving.
"Wait, what's going on?"
"So... did it work or not?" Da Huang asked, baffled.
"It worked, but it didn't."
