Chapter 32: Below the Cliff

Ye Chen called out a few times, but received no response.

He hesitated for a moment, then decided to take advantage of the lingering daylight. It would be a while before nightfall and he couldn't just wait around. Once it was dark, he wouldn't be able to go down; he had to do something.

Trusting his own experience, he took some supplies and started heading down the cliff.

It was not a path meant for humans, one could easily slip straight to the foot of the mountain. Half an hour went by and he had travelled quite a distance when he suddenly found something! Scratch marks, footprints, and broken plants, all fresh, left not long ago.

They could have been left by an animal, or possibly a person. He started to ponder what could have happened, as he followed the traces down. The cliff had long disappeared behind the dense jungle. He called out Yu Qing's name but received no reply.
