Chapter 372
Inside the Maze—
Feng Ling followed the deer hoofprints into a patch of woods.
The woods were not large, but the trees were exceptionally thick. Their powerful roots bulged from the ground like a tangled snake swarm.
The hoofprints became chaotic. Strange wind sounds lingered in the woods, like the trees were breathing.
Feng Ling reached the edge of the woods and discovered that there were more woods ahead, and even more in the distance, all separated by swamps that could not be crossed.
She looked down at the mud beneath her feet, then raised her head toward the branches overhead, considering whether she could use them to swing herself across.
If Cat Owl were beside her, this would be easy. Cat Owl should be able to carry her over.
Lin Pengpeng, Wang Xunmei, and Zhang Lu slowly walked over, staring at the swamps in every direction with worried expressions.
"I wonder if Li Yu is still alive..." Wang Xunmei said softly.
Lin Pengpeng and Zhang Lu were heavyhearted and said nothing.
Feng Ling asked Huangfu Miaomiao for a rope, aimed at a branch hanging in the air, and swung her arm to throw it over.
The end of the rope had a metal grappling hook. Upon hitting the branch, it wrapped around it several times from inertia. The loop tightened, and the metal hook caught the branch.
Feng Ling gave it a tug and found it quite secure.
As she held the rope and backed away, she said, "He's still alive. He's about three kilometers away from us right now."
Lin Pengpeng, Wang Xunmei, and Zhang Lu immediately stared at her wide-eyed.
The rope in Feng Ling's hand was already taut. She suddenly accelerated into a run, lunged forward, and jumped just before reaching the swamp! Like
