Within the dense, uneven forest, a figure moved as though walking on level ground, darting through the trees like a ghost.
"This should be the place." Chen Mo surveyed the surroundings.
Recalling Chen Chao's description of how and where the Exotic Beast had been discovered, he confirmed that this was the place he had been looking for. He then carefully began searching the area for traces related to the Exotic Beast.
That morning, after wrestling with his thoughts again and again, he had finally used today's Epiphany opportunity on the Tracking skill. The advantages brought by his improved aptitude immediately showed themselves, and the skill leaped directly from Initiation to the Great Accomplishment Realm.
Great Accomplishment level Tracking allowed Chen Mo to follow the prey he wanted through even the tiniest traces.
That prey could be a wild beast, or it could be a person.
So long as traces had been left behind, he could track them down.
