Ye Qiu continued to follow the traces left by the southern monster Du Ying, but when he saw that the traces left by Du Ying pointed to a downhill road, Ye Qiu had no choice but to give up.
Once out of the mountain forest, it would be difficult for him to find the strange man Du Ying, as there wouldn't be any traces left in the wilderness for him to follow.
With no other options, Ye Qiu turned his attention back to searching for the mystical hundred-year earth dragon bone.
Following the slope, he once again entered the jungle.
The complete annihilation of the six members of the dragon-catching operation was reported back to the Duke in no time.
"Duke, the operation has failed, all six members are out of contact," an elderly man, suited and booted, said slowly, his demeanor quite respectful.
"Oh!" There was no hint of emotion on Duke's face; he responded indifferently.
"Who were they capturing?"
"A venerable elder in the martial arts world, Chen Yifeng."
