Just after taking Hua Bei's life, Chen Hao suddenly froze as a problem occurred to him.
He glanced around at the unfamiliar surroundings and realized he seemed to be lost. He didn't recognize this place at all.
He kicked the Ghost Gate disciples he had knocked flying earlier a few times, but they were all unconscious and wouldn't be waking up anytime soon.
While Chen Hao was wondering what to do, a muffled explosion suddenly sounded from somewhere in the mountains.
Thanks to the Heavenly Eye Art's exceptional perception, Chen Hao quickly pinpointed the direction and headed over.
An eerie explosion deep in the mountains at night? Could the people of the Ghost Gate be secretly plotting something?
Under cover of darkness, Chen Hao sprinted ahead and soon reached the vicinity of the explosion.
As soon as he approached, Chen Hao clearly heard whispered voices. They weren't loud, but he was certain there were people there.
Once he activated the Heavenly Eye Art, nothing in the mountain forest could escape his sight.
A group stood gathered some twenty or thirty meters away. Chen Hao counted roughly seven or eight people.
They were furtively blasting and excavating a rock face.
Although he couldn't make out their faces, their behavior convinced Chen Hao that they weren't members of the Ghost Gate.
If they belonged to the Ghost Gate, they could work openly on their own territory. There would be no need to be so cautious.
While Chen Hao watched from hiding, someone in the group suddenly picked up a walkie-talkie and said a few words. Everyone immediately turned toward him.
Seeing this, Chen Hao understood at once. Damn, they spotted me.
Sure enough, the man holding the walkie-talkie shouted straight toward him, "Friend, we can see you. Stop hiding and come out."
