A full half day passed.
Ran Zun finally found a deep cave along their route forward.
From time to time, waves of stench drifted out from within the cave. It was clearly the lair of some enormous and powerful Star Beast.
A place ordinary people could hardly endure was, to them now, an excellent hiding spot.
Only after Qin Shaofeng arrived did Ran Zun ask, "Young Master, this cave may be rather foul-smelling, but it is still a fine place to hide.
