Chapter 58 Gandu Kala

Cha Xiaodao took a sip of strong liquor and let his gaze wander. Suddenly, he noticed a mark on the trunk of a nearby dragon-brain tree—a red mark made of a sun and crescent moon. This was a paint unique to Lantau Island, which could stay intact in calm seawater for a whole day, usually used to mark the forward lines of attack for naval firepower.

Without a doubt, this mark was left by Jie Xiaodao Xiaodao.

Cha Xiaodao took a few steps closer, wanting a more detailed look.

Meanwhile, Ruchika's attention was drawn to the carcass of a cloud leopard by the riverbank. The leopard's death was a gruesome one, with eyesockets burst forth by clusters of Xipala mushrooms the size of human heads sprouting even in death at a visibly swift rate from its bloodied flesh. The red, umbrella-shaped mushrooms even burst the leopard's eyesockets, hanging out crookedly.
