After a brief rest, the group set out again.
This time, Xu Huo didn't waste any time. He put Chang Shoujie into the Picture Frame, then used the Space Teleport Artifact to head for the CK12 Safe Zone as quickly as possible. He left Gao Dawei in Darkness Under the Lamp's care.
Different artifacts could transport different numbers of people, so once they had set their destination, they didn't stick strictly together. Instead, they traveled at their own pace.
Along the way, Xu Huo ran into Darkness Under the Lamp twice. His detection artifact had a very wide range, and after their second encounter, he warned Xu Huo that someone had been following them.
"Can you make out who it is?" Xu Huo asked.
"The distance is too great, and he's using an invisibility artifact." Darkness Under the Lamp shook his head. "But from the way he's acting, you seem to be his main target. I don't know if it's because he thinks your level is low or for some other reason."
"Don't worry about him for now," Xu Huo said. "If you run into Brother Wu, let them know too."
Darkness Under the Lamp said he would.
When Xu Huo stopped to rest partway through the journey, he deliberately used the "Cube Space" to expand the range of his Space Power. Sure enough, he found someone three hundred meters beyond his usual detection range. The person was skilled at concealing his tracks, disguised as part of the desert, and stayed completely still after Xu Huo stopped, showing great patience.
Since the person didn't seem intent on attacking right away, Xu Huo put away the "Cube Space" and continued on. After testing this several times, he realized that even the Space Teleport Artifact couldn't shake the follower.
The follower definitely
